Sure I shop there I would work there especially if I can work in a department I want to work in. I would hate the clothing or grocery area but would love the sporting goods, automotive and hardware, craft area or electronics.
Funny story a while back I ran into a mom from my kids grade school days when I was shopping at wally......she was stocking cards we stopped and chatted about our now college age kids and she looked at me horrified "I don't work here I work for the card company" it cracked me up why be embarrassed where or why you work.
