I guess this explains how I got Eloise from a friend ' s town , when she wasn ' t actually a villager there . <| sep |> that was exactly his point <| sep |> Walmart , yo . Worked there for 3 years , took every promotionraise available , got to making $ 9 . 50 hr in comparison , minimum wage in my state at the time was $ 7 . 25 hr after 3 years this was before their big starting wage hike . The only caveat is that you have to sell your soul and routinely stomp on any hope and happiness you might have in your life . Also you ' ll very rarely get to have any hobbies because you ' re working 40 hours a week but somehow still getting parttime benefits . Also you ' re gonna frequently have 10 hours of work to somehow complete in an 8 hour shift but also take your legallymandated breaks and lunch . Also every single customer manages to be dumber than the last and it will make you rethink your own intelligence . Also your coworkers will be as soulless and empty as you are , so the general environment of the store is just so incredibly dejected .
