I first heard this in the early 1980s, in the town of Claremont, New Hampshire. I went into Whitcomb's Music store one day, and saw a cassette in their local music section - a standard studio cassette, with a yellow stick-on label, and it was typed. It was, however, called "K-Mart Blues"

Working out at K-Mart, manager trainee
(something) housewares, aisle 3
I was putting up some bic pens when they opened up the doors
and a stampede of crazy ladies knocked me to the floor

last week I was in ahrdware, this week I'm in shoes
I got the workin' down at K-mart, manager trainee blues...


The other lyrics, about the cafeteria food is pretty close...
