This Canadian City Reminds me of Singapore

She walked into her Walmart interview feeling like a queen.
Hair done.
Resume printed.
Confidence at 87%.
She was READY.
And honestly?
She was killing it.
She answered every question like she had rehearsed in the mirror for three days straight (because she had).
The interviewer — a woman with the calm, slightly haunted look of someone who has survived 12 holiday seasons in retail — was nodding, smiling, even writing things down.
Then… it happened.
The interviewer flipped the page, looked up, and asked:
Everything stopped.
Her soul left her body.
Her ancestors whispered, “Run.”
Did she hear that right?
Geese?
Like… the birds?
The ones with the attitude of a divorced dad and the wingspan of a small aircraft?
She pictured herself in a Walmart vest, standing in the parking lot, facing a goose like it’s a final boss.
She remembered the time a goose chased her for eating a granola bar “too close” to its nest.
She wondered if Walmart offered life insurance.
She said, “Um… define confronting?”
“Oh, you know,” the interviewer said casually,
“Sometimes they block the entrance.
Sometimes they chase customers.
Sometimes they steal fries.
We just need someone who can… negotiate.”
Negotiate?
She wasn’t applying to be a cashier.
She was applying to be a goose diplomat.
She pictured herself:
Holding a broom like a medieval spear
Whispering, “Back up, sir, this is private property”
Being hissed at by a goose with zero respect for authority
Getting written up because the goose “felt threatened”
“Do geese understand English?”
“Do I need training?”
“Is there a union for this?”
“Why didn’t the job posting mention wildlife combat?”
Meanwhile, out loud, she said:
“I… can try?”
Which is the most Canadian answer possible.
She becomes the legendary Goose Whisperer of Walmart.
Customers cheer.
Geese fear her.
She says, “I’m allergic to birds,” grabs her purse, and leaves.
The interviewer hires her anyway because literally no one else said yes.
