Beerball Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 No, it is not just you...and then to write about it, in such painstaking detail! Several months ago there was a thread on this very topic but I was too lazy to dig it out. Funny what gets some worked up. For me...charge me the wrong price on an item & I'll get worked up if you don't correct the error. I'm sorry sir but the sign is wrong just doesn't cut it with me. I suppose that 'it's the principle of it' that applies to me on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly McButterpants Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Did you read some of the comments? These a$$hats are comparing showing the receipt to the civil rights movement and women's sufferage. Puh-leeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Is there any legal way that they can prevent that guy from ever stepping foot in that store again? It would be great if they could, you know, just for the principle of the matter. I'd call it the "don't be an ass" law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 If you don't like the rules, don't shop there. Simple enough. See for us the Walmart rule that you have to be dumb and ugly to shop there is the reason we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 All Walmart shoppers in VA should go to the electronics area, pick up big boxes and walk out the door, refusing to show a receipt to any employee that gets in their way. How American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ieatcrayonz Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Man says "no thank you" to Walmart receipt checker I have two comments: 1. At the same time this guy was "making a point" ad infinitum about a policy put in place because of the massive amount of dirt bags stealing TVs which led to him paying a higher price for the TV which created the receipt he was whining about, there were people in their own houses being washed to their death in Japan. While the woman ragging on him from the soda machine took time from her day to follow him around just to be a jerk, some kid was killed by a missile from a colonel's plane in Libya. These people need some prospective. 2. and more importantly, Tony said: Tony: I'm just a first-class worker, I don't know about any of that. Beerboy, this would be a great line for you to use as code name Ennifer or Ritney yammer on and on after the bulk of your work is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 consider me dumb & ugly I have a feeling that Chef thinks everyone is dumb and ugly. Personally, I don't shop at Wal-Mart for all the PC reasons...but I must admit, I did go in there late one night, a few months ago, for motor oil, when my car started to hemorrhage. It was the only convenient place. I think it was only the second or third time I have ever been in one. I don't hold a grudge against folks that shop there...I usually shop Target, for the type of things they sell. Target is no better, in reality. Just better marketing. It gets increasingly difficult not to be a hypocrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets increasingly difficult not to be a hypocrite. This is dumb... But some people find a point to make. Why be a lemming and do what people order you to do... Especially arbitrary orders. How many people do they miss forgetting to check when they are loafing off? Target doesn't check your receipt... I think. Would it be so hard to do their job and actually monitor/pay attention who is going through a register? Like Best Buy... Why do they need to see the receipt? I suppose somebody can sneak an item through a register... But a TV? Can't the cashier give a shout out to the Tony's of the world... They had to see what was going on: "Yeah... Tony he is fine." Anyway, if the electronic tag in the box is NOT going off... Then somebody disabled it at the register counter. If everybody was doing their job properly... You wouldn't have any issues... I can see them stationing an employee... Just have them pay attention to what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) D-bags who try to make a moral stand and refuse to show a receipt for 20 minutes. Why is he a D-bag? If the checker was paying attention and doing their job... They would see who was going through registers or not. Like all the other stores on the planet. All they have to do is watch the registers and pay attention. Is this more of a case (checking receipts) of mistrust with their own cashiers?

Nanker Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I went into a Walmart once. Once. The electronics department was in the back of the store. You had to pay for everything in That department there - not in the front of the store. I think I saw some tat-wearing five foot three hundred pound guy named Tony in ripped bluejeans, wearing a wolf shirt three sizes too small with bardhal patches on the sleeves, chain on his wallet, three days growth of beard, orange teeth haulin' a tv outta there giving the ticket checker the middle finger on his way out. Am I an accessory or just a witness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I an accessory or just a witness? Lemonade on screen! :lol: See that is the point... Don't they trust the cashiers? Some stores you can't haul any of the expensive tech items around the store unless you pay first or have it sent to the front. I can understand them cracking down while sitll carrying the expensive item IN the store BEFORE the register. Again, many will check you out in the back or carry the item to the front so you can put it on the same bill with other items. Then most have the electronic cable and sensor wrapped around the whole box. Why is it mainly Walmart/Sam's? I really think it does nothing to deter anybody... It is just a show of force.. Tony a force? Just do their job and this is needless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
