Ok, so one of my friends on Facebook asked this question and i thought it was pretty interesting. She said she was in line at Subways and over heard two guys talking. One guy said to the other guy, " I met this great girl and I really like her alot, but I found out she works as a cashier at Walmart. So i dumped her." I thought to myself, what a jacka$$!! Why would you stop seeing someone you really like because they work as a cashier. I mean if he said stripper i would say ok. So that leads me to asking you mylotters. Would you dump someone you really liked because of their job? I don't mean like stripper or some crazy job. If you met a man or woman that you were really interested in, would you stop seeing them because you didn't like their job??

Betcha if she was a stripper and or call girl he would be bragging. , I suppose he is not looking for a serious person to be dating. I mean what is wrong with Walmart. It is an honest pay for an honest day of work. I would not dump a person because of their job at all, and certainly would not be bragging about it either. Firstly, if I met someone and began dating that means I would have to like, not love everything they do, especially if they are working, where as how many do not work and are loved. Naturally, everyone would like their partners to be working in a job which pays well and perhaps with a top position. But to go on and tell others that he dumped her because of the type of work she does, is pretty nasty. I will not go on further, as I think he did her a favor. See she would probably get so hurt by this jerk, in the future so he actually did her a favor.

hey hardworkinggurl, this guy is just a sad person. of course we all want our partners to have jobs that pay enough to take care of all of our needs. but that's not real world thinking. so we make sure our partners at least have a job they like or enjoy and hell make sure they just have a job!! LOL

I'm surprised it was a guy who said that about a girl and not the other way around. I guess he must be really shallow. My fiance was not earning a fantastic wage when we met and neither was I but we've helped eachother through and now have decent jobs. Maybe that guy might grow up one day, when he realises what a sad old man he's become.

Many a woman has worked at a menial job and put her hubby through college, and then got dumped, so I guess this young woman is very fortunate that such a "superior" being dumped her before she could make a slave of herself to help him meet his dreams.

that's what i said. i can't believe a guy said this either. that's what couples do. they help each other. yes money is very important, but money is not the only thing that's important. i mean life is to short and people are way to important!

That's rather like saying that he'd dump her because she eats ketchup! It's the person that matters and not what they do for a job. Maybe she was an unemployed brain surgeon. Would he feel the same way then? My Dad has given me lots of advice but the piece that I recall best was: "when you meet a girl look at her eyes. If they are interesting and intelligent then it doesn't matter what the rest of her looks like"! If only I could persuade the Boss to take off her shades.... it's been 24 years now! LOL.

If he really liked her a lot then it's ashame that he didn't take the time to really get to know her. To just dump her for working at Walmart is ridiculous. She's better off without him. It wouldn't matter to me where the person worked as long as it was an honest paying job and that the person treated me good.

Sounds like he must be looking for a sugar momma to support him and figured Wal-Mart didn't pay her enough to support him.

Working as a cashier is a perfectly respectable job. it is no reason to not have someone date you. Being a cashier is a job like any other. Your job has nothing to do with the kind of person that you are. someone who dates you needs to realize this.

I will think again if he has some job which makes me embarrassed. For example,if your friends told you that they just find your bf is working as a waiter served for him in the restaurant he went to last night. What will you feel?

Definitely not! That's very shallow and pathetic. Those guys were obviously young and immature. People need to work, and now-a-days, as long as you have a job with steady income, it shouldn't really matter what you, or they are doing to support themselves. Some people are willing to settle on a low paying, and potentially "embarrassing" job, and some are just using it as a little income, or extra income, to get themselves through school or college/university. That guy doesn't deserve a girlfriend if he's going to be that picky. Obviously an extremely egotistical person, that guy was.

I hope that man ends up alone. That is so ignorant. I would not date anyone that had that attitude and yes, I would date a person that worked as a cashier.

No. Who cares what someone does for a job? If people are with other people because of a JOB, then our society has worse problems than I initially thought lol. Now, I do have to clarify if I were younger and single, I would hope the other person lived on their own and at least HAD a job, or perhaps was a college student if they didn't have a job lol. I don't really give two rats tails though what the major is, what college it is, or what the job is. He could be a pizza delivery guy or mow the grass, or work for the FBI, or teach driver's ed, why should I care if he treats me well and comes home to me at night? LOL!

Even if you have strong feelings about the way Wal Mart conducts their business, it's pretty messed up that someone would use that as a basis of breaking of a relationship. I don't know if this should really factor into how I feel about a woman. I'd probably ask about her long term goals, and what it is she really wanted to do as a career. The fact that she's currently holding down a job like that wouldn't sway my opinions toward her either way though.

I would never mind dating a woman by looking at her profession. I thin profession is not the only thing has to be kept in mind while dating a woman. It is the nature of that human being.

That guy didn't like her for who she is, he only like her for her looks. To be the job doesn't really matter but i might take it into consideration. But the thing is some people have ambition and if someone who is currently working as a cashier but later want to have a top profession then i will give then a chance. But if they choose to remain in that zone then I couldn't deal with that.

Heck no! But that's only because I'm already married! LOL Sorry, I couldn't resist! Seriously though, I wouldn't care if they worked as a cashier at Wal-Mart. I don't see anything wrong with a job like that. It may not be a high status job, but at least it's a job...and a legit one at that. Not only was that guy a jack@ss for dumping that girl, but he was a snob as well. I wonder what made him think he was better than her? Because obviously he wasn't. If anything he was a loser for doing something like that. Happy mylotting!

At least she has a job! Not sitting around collecting welfare. There is no shame in having any job even if it's not what you want to be doing. Any source of income, as long as it's legal and moral, is far better than no source of income at all. After all, it is honest income for honest labor.

I think the girl is LUCKY as she never got to go out with such a shallow person!!! It sounds to me he was planning on marrying a woman who would support him so he didn't have to ever work!!! When I like someone, I don't ask what do you do for a living as it doesn't matter. My last hubby was unemployed when we got married & it worked out GREAT for me!!! He believed that it was a man's job to support the woman & I didn't want to quit work to stay at home. To make up for not working, he did EVERYTHING around the house!!! He made sure he was up every morning in time to make sure I didn't oversleep, he fixed my breakfast while I was getting dressed for work. While I was at work, he cleaned the house from top to bottom every day & when I walked in from work, he handed me a fresh made Martini to sip on while dinner finished cooking. He'd bring me my plate & when I finished, he would take my plate & clean the dishes. I NEVER went to bed that he didn't tuck me in, tell me he loved me & kiss me good night. I NEVER left for work that he didn't tell me he loved me, walk me to the car & tell me how much he was going to miss me while I was gone!!! He also made me lunch every day with little love notes to brighten the middle of my day. Did I want him to go back to working??? Oh hell NOOOOOO!!! NO way did I want him coming home from work as tired as I was & not in the mood to take care of me or the house. That man spoiled me rotten!!!! My friends & family thought I was crazy, but I'll trade true LOVE for a job any day!!!! I can see Mr Shallow Hal writing a discussion in about 20 years that he can't understand why he's living alone & wondering why NO woman wants him because he's such a GREAT catch!!!!

What a @#&^% ! It sounds as if she was better off without him.. I mean, most people know what jobs the people they are dating do before they actually .. well.. start dating. He should be pleased enough knowing that she's willing to go out and do what it takes to support herself instead of expecting to live off of others. I wouldn't call myself a judgmental person, but I won't date someone who is the military, a member of the clergy, or works at a kill animal shelter, because of personality clashes that are sure to ensue... but I would find out these things ahead of time before a relationship happened, yknow? What a jerk. Glad he dumped her early on so that she didn't get hurt later down the road after time for serious attachment happened.

I'm a female so if a guy worked at Walmart, I wouldn't dump him but it depends. There may be a reason behind it.. he may be working part-time or full-time to pay for school, maybe he's going to school. He needs money to support his family? There might be a reason but I mean if hes older & this is his ONLY JOB and not going to school then yeah I wouldn't date him but it depends.

It wouldn't bother me at all if this was his only job. I just want a man who has a job. I am very blessed to have a great man who has a good job. but if he worked at walmart full time and it was his only job, i would love him for taking care of our family.
