Day 5: Grocery Store Warehouse Tour
Day 4: Ask for a tour of the Walmart warehouse (stock room)
I had just gotten off work and decided to get it over with before heading home. I wasn’t as anxious this time though, I just felt inconvenienced.
I headed inside towards the back where I knew the employees would be coming in and out of the stock room. I saw the man I was going to ask but made multiple laps around the aisles and stopped to stare and the cheese before finally working up the courage to do it.
I went up to him and asked with genuine interest. I asked to follow up questions too! He was nice about it, gave me explanations, and it made me feel better. After a short little conversation, my job was done. I left feeling fulfilled.
It definitely wasn’t the rejection that was making me uncomfortable now, it was just the feeling of anxiousness leading up to it followed by the awkwardness after. I've always cared entirely too much what people think about me. But I was finally starting to accept that if I come across as strange, then so be it. It doesn’t really affect me one way or another :)
I posted the video and it hit 100k views by that night. More people than before were now joining me on this journey.
