What's in your bag?
A woman's mind is her purse

The women of the Human Resources Department at the Walmart Distribution Center reveal the secrets of their satchels.
Bridget Finley
Receptionist, Auburn
Receptionist, Auburn
Not one to let plaque buildup get the better of her, Bridget keeps dental floss tucked away in her Nine West purse. Also on board: Migraine medication, a manicure kit, aspirin, lotion and a checkbook cover — leaving the checks at home no doubt keeps her from overspending.
Cameia Battle
Benefits/hiring clerk, Opelika
Benefits/hiring clerk, Opelika
There are two hints to the recent big event in Cameia’s life, and it’s not the ticket to the dog track at Quincy’s 777 Casino. She goes everywhere equipped with an on-the-go baby spoon, and she’s still toting her prenatal vitamins. Jayven was born eleven months ago. Also on board: a calculator disguised to look like a cell phone and a real cell phone. Makes you wonder if she ever answers her calculator.
Quantera Vidal
Hiring manager, Phenix City
Hiring manager, Phenix City
Quantera’s counting her points. Why else would she carry a Weight Watcher calculator and Weight Watchers book in her Coach bag? Her bag also holds a Crystal Light On The Go packet, a bracelet, a powder puff, eye shadow, lip-gloss, and a tool worthy of MacGyver: a combination nail clipper and bottle opener.
Sheri Armstrong
Payroll clerk, Beauregard
Payroll clerk, Beauregard
Sheri carries Liquid Paper in her purse, which suggests that somewhere in that Dolce & Gabbana handbag is a typewriter. Some of us are startled to learn that this once-essential office supply is still in use. Also in the bag: perfume, a calendar, hand sanitizer, a tape measure, and a flashlight.
