65 year old Walmart greeter fired over pic

1. Living in iowa, i just want to say not all iowans use phrases like "i seen it". Many of us are fully capable with proper english. And, most of us aren't idiots.

Being originally from Iowa, with many relatives still there, I would guess that by "living in Iowa" you mean you moved there. Which relieves you from having to use phrases like "I seen it" and "potlicker" (whatever the hell that means, but my mom's entire family uses it), as well as adopting "ain't" as an acceptable alternative to proper English.

This is not to say that they, or other Iowans, are idiots. Just that their particular brand of colloquialism leaves them open for some measure of ridicule. Even from those of us with close ties...

After checking out the pic though, "have a nice day" will never have the same, positive impact as before
