Default why i hate Walmart....

i'ver posted in threads before about my dislike for Walmart, about how i'll go out of my way to shop there, even though i have a supercenter like 3 minutes from me.

well i just went up there to use **, cause i didn't feel like going out of my way today to go to the hood and use the ** at the ghetto check cashing place that never asks questions.

i walk up to customer service counter and there is 1 guy at the counter, i grab my ** slip and start feeling it out, another dude walks up and grabs a ** slip, the guy looks like he might be a Sudanese refugee (we have alot of them in the louisville area), anyway the dude at the counter is deaf and possibly mentally challenged (not knocking the guy for that, just stating), he's trying to figure out a charge on his CC or a return charge or something, so he has to write down and point and stuff, the woman behind the counter is trying to explain and has to write down stuff and use her hands and point at stuff. Meanwhile the guy from Sudan filled his form out before me, so he's next, he's trying to send 300 to someone in N.Y. city, the Walmart lady is having all kinds of trouble, and asking him for ID's and phone numbers, then she has to go get another person,they are trying to charge him like 70 bucks, he going "no,no,no", then they re-enter the info again, ask him more questions, and it comes to like 45, he ends up just leaving, and now the whole customer service area is packed, must be 15 people in there now. finally another lady comes and opens a cash register , i step up thinking "what kind of hell am i getting ready to go through, that dude was just trying to sent money to NY, i'm getting ready to send money to a country in Central America and to some Hispanic dude with 2 last names?" the lady enters mine, don't ask questions, nothing, my charge was like 9 bucks, which is what it usually is, anyway after i get my receipt and turn around to walk out, there is a line all the way out the CS area and down the aisle in front of the eye glass place. I just thought to myself "i'm just driving to the ghetto next time."

i don't think they are all that cheap really. I can use my Kroger card across the street at Kroger and get groceries cheaper, and i have a Dollar General Market Place that sells groceries close by that is really cheap.

i think the people who shop at Walmart are sometimes better educated than the employees. I remember trying to get a job at a Walmart years ago, cause a friend had a brother who worked there and told me he could get me on the 3rd shift stock crew. i thought i was applying for a job at NASA, and i didn't get the job. has always made me wonder how the people who work there get hired.

They don't want creative thinking, intelligent, or people who aren't happy making a low end wage. They want human robots to stock shelves, follow company guidelines, and cash their measly check every two weeks. That is why you were not hired.

It's also a prime place to play "Who Won?". You know, when you look at a couple and decide who won in that deal. Of course, in many Walmarts, there are no winners...but it's still good times. Try it fiveteamer. Trust me.

what iam about to say is not about funding books.my sister hates walmarts with a passion.she orderd 7 bags of pot ,and soil.she thought the guys working out side were going to help,but they didnt.she loaded the truck up herself without no help.she cused,and cused those guys out.calling them lazy sobs.

Here's a nickel, go call somebody who cares. (It's a nickel because that's how much payphones cost the last time that joke was funny.)

i went and got some ink cartridges and blank CD's and some other stuff late one night, well actually only like 10:30, anyway after i paid and left the checkout, i had my bag with the stuff i bought in one hand and had my wallet and cell phone and my change the lady gave me in my other hand. i got to the exit area and the old man who was checking receipts was at the doors doing something, the alarm started going off, so i stopped, the old dude starts yelling at me "well don't just stand there, move on up to the table here, the thing will just keep going off if you stand under it, then i got to fill out all kinds of paperwork." I was just like Damn dude chill. and it just so happened that some supervisor lady was walking up right behind me. i immediately went to look for the receipt to show i payed, i looked in my hand with my wallet and cell phone and the change, cause i never opened my wallet to put the bills in it, i just grabbed my bag and change and headed for the door. well i don't have, so the old dude and the lady are both going "is it in the bag?", all 3 of us are looking through the bag, i'm checking my pockets, everything. then the supervisor lady asks what register i came from and ******* right there. It was like 30 feet from the doors, i was even looking down at the floors thinking maybe i dropped it. so the supv. had to go to the register and confirm i payed for the stuff. while were waiting the old dude says "it's 2 till 11:00, i got to lock these doors at exactly 11:00, they don't pay me OT." i just looked at him and went "well i'll go out the other fu*kin doors." the supv comes back and tells the old dude i payed for it, and as i walk out he locks the doors behind me.

Best reason to be in a relationship is so you don't have to shop (especially in Walmart)?
