Overview

This little book, The Walmart Cashier, is really Off the Wal. It has Walmart Stories--the stories are all true--like this one: Returning to the sales floor after a break, I was approached by a woman who saw my name tag. Sir, can you tell me where the nuts are? Ma'am, I said, this is Walmart. The nuts are everywhere. This admittedly quirky book has trivia questions like Which U.S. presidents died on the 4th of July? It has an unusual chapter about celebrities and their birth names. (Who are Anna Mae Bullock and Caryn Elaine Johnson?) It has a number of insights and observations about Walmart and how it makes such big profits. In spite of itself. Ronn Medow is a part-time cashier at a Walmart store in Reno, Nevada. His time at work is an odd combination of amusement and frustration. Many times Ronn has muttered to himself or to no one in particular, If you can't be excellent, at least be competent. He has also asked himself why management would ever want to listen to him. What do I know? I just talk to the customers.

Author Information

Ronn Medow appears to be a reasonably nice old man. At the age of 19, Ronn, who was not a reasonably nice young man, told his family and friends that he wanted to be a writer. Over the next fifty-plus years, Ronn did a number of different things and writing was not one of them. Now, all these decades later, he has finally written a remarkably short book, The Walmart Cashier. At least he wrote something. Ronn is extremely modest and self-deprecating. There are many, many valid reasons for him to be this way. Read this book and you will agree. He has a wide variety of interests, including baseball and other sports, history with emphasis on U.S. Presidents and Vice-Presidents, politics, and reading. Interests are not necessarily passions. Ronn's passions are his children and grand-children. Ronn and his little bride, Theo, have been married for 52 years. For the most part, the marriage seems to be working out. Time will tell.
