Never shop at Wal-mart

T

Trek234

CAGiversary!
Wal-mart has the worst service ever and employees that just don't care.

I was doing some shopping today (btw they had far fewer lanes open than needed) and I went to the register to pay. After waiting in line for 10 mins I handed the cashier my $30 gift card my brother had sent me in the mail. To my surprise only $20 came off the transaction.

I tell her it's a $30 dollar card and to take another $10 off. The 16 year old genious told me she wouldn't do it. So I told her to call a manager and told her he better arrive quickly because I wasn't going to move and the line was getting longer the longer they tried to screw me.

So the 20 year old manager comes over. He scans the card and tells me only $20 is on it. I tell him directly I don't like his attitude and I want to talk to HIS manager. His manager finally comes over and is a major ass telling me he won't honor the $10 more dollars I am supposed to have on my card. So the first manager starts talking again and I tell him don't talk. Then he tells me "I'll say anything I want".

So he calls some number to check the "transaction history" on my gift card. He tells me the transaction history showed it was purchased on the 4th for $20. I was pretty sure the liars just wanted to screw me out of my $10 and there was no "transaction history" number he called. Eventually I told them I was never shopping there again and left.

I can't believe the attitude of those fools. Why the he** would I lie about $10 on my gift card? Guess that's why they'll be working retail forever.

Shame on them for not taking your word for it. You should take that gift card directly over to Target and request a price match. That'll show'em.
 
[quote name='Moxio']You know what? I bet the card only had $20 on it.[/quote]

Seconded.

OP will be approaching douchebaggery once his brother tells him there was only 20 bucks on the card.
 
[quote name='Moxio']You know what? I bet the card only had $20 on it.[/QUOTE]


Agreed. That's why I ALWAYS check the gift card amount online before using it when I get it.
 
Wal-Mart has some pretty good tracking abilities. They have helped out the police around here many times, a lot with credit card fraud among other things. They can track a transaction to the exact lane, cashier, items purchased, camera, etc. I'm willing to bet that your brother just thought he put $20 on the card. It could have been a mistake at the other store, or a mistake on the part of your brother.

Three employees would really have no reason to screw you out of $10. I would call your brother and let him know, and ask if he really did put $30 or if he forgot that he only put $20. He might still have the receipt. Until you have a receipt, you really have no hard evidence.

I will take the gift card then.

And why don't you just call the number on the back of the card and get your balance? Or will the automated line try and screw you over too?

WOAH! THAT GUY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS YOU! WAHT CONSPIRACY! CALL QUEEN BEATRIX!

The ironic thing about the OP is that one of the reasons I don't shop at Wal-Mart is to avoid those bloated ego hillbillies who think shouting their way out of every problem is an appropriate, adult, mature response. I'd rather deal with the effete liberal princesses buying designer curtains (still made in third-world nations, but with Isaac Mizrahi's name on them, giving it a touch of panache with that child-labor charm) at Target than Lee-Ron Bupkis, his five screaming bastards, tweety-bird sweatshirt wearing wife, and their bascart full of Little Debbie snacks, Keystone Lite beer, and fishing lures.

So, yes, never shop at Wal-Mart. Avoid the OP and his ilk.

And, for the record, you can pull the "class" card all you want ("blah, they'll be working at Wal-Mart forever"), but you can wake up every morning with the recognition that when your brother thought of the perfect gift for you, he bought up a WALMART GIFT CARD. Christ, I'd feel more loved if someone bought me a dancing kung-fu hamster and a box of 30-year old black licorice from Walgreens.

The sad thing is it took me a minute to figure out you meant a plastic dancing hamster, not a live hamster in a ninja suit... I kept wondering if the ninja suit added flavor when deepfied.

[quote name='Moxio']You know what? I bet the card only had $20 on it.[/quote]

That's very clear.

it's why I like the cards that have $20 ammount on it.

Your brother is an asshole , but that seems to run in the family.

What we have here, ladies and gentleman, are the feeble ramblings of the Trollicus ineptus ineptus. This creature is an abomination that came from the cross mating of Homo sapiens neandertalensis and Equus asinus asinus. These creatures weigh approximately 250 lbs and stand near 6 feet tall in their adult form and have a tendency to destroy furniture* upon utilization of said furnishings.

Because of this unnatural mating, certain centers within their brains were not appropriately developed, notably the frontal and prefrontal cortex as well as the limbic system -- with specific major defect within the amygdala~. Consequently, these creatures all have Narcissistic Personality Disorder^.

Because of the unhappy convergence of these and other unmentioned traits, it is highly recommended to avoid this species at all cost and to totally disregard anything these vile creatures utter.

... Now, where are my vivisection" instruments?

Woooaaah, what the hell?
Damn buddy you are OUT OF YOUR GOD DAMN MIND.

First of all, I can understand if you thought the card had $30 and it's coming up at $20 for you to be upset. THAT'S FINE. But giving THESE people that kind of bullshit attitude and stating THEY have an attitude? What is wrong with you????

You know why people in retail GENERALLY have a bad attitude? Because of dicks like you. You are a DICK. "He better arrive quickly!" WTF? Like you are the ONLY person in the store, right? fuck everyone else, YOUR there!

"Stop talking" Did you really say this to someone? Forget about him being a manager.. he's still someone else you God damn prick bastard. He should of quit his fuckin job that day and knocked you the fuck out you piece of shit rat bastard.

Sorry, this shit irriates the fuck out of me. If you came here to vent & had a GOOD story about Wal-Mart, fine. But you going into a place and acting like a complete jerk off is ridiculous.

One day, I hope one of your children are working part time at their local store after work for some extra cash and I HOPE they have to deal with people like you.

EDIT: Sorry again. I'm usually pretty chill around here & I like to get along with everyone. This totally crossed the line & I really felt the need to yell at the OP for this.

Wouldn't being the offspring of the OP be punishment enough?
 
I'd just like to point out the hilarity in that this guy had the balls to actually tell someone else straight up not to talk, but is too much of a pussy to spell "Hell."

That's a real pair you've got yourself there, pal.

Would you just cut the shit? Your complaints against him suck, and you were funnier when you feigned kindness to gain an audience for your ridiculously bad podcast. Unintentionally.

Of course, it is a win-win situation. Either you stop, and I don't have to see you being such a pissy little bitch anymore, or you keep on trying to burn myke (for no apparent reason), having the process backfire and getting your pizza-loving ass handed back to you in a long, funny, obscure-reference-infused way.
 
anyone notice the OP didn't post in the thread again yet? I think this was just to start some sheot!

Oh yeah, if you ever had the balls to talk to me like that anywhere in life, you wouldn't standing when you were done talking, and you will learn this lesson from someone one day OP. On a side note, people make me laugh, or maybe it's just me laughing at myself?
 
... Who the hell buys a $30 gift card. All gift cards should be $20 - $50 or $100. That's it. Not only that but he's your bro and he's giving you a giftcard! I would much rather not get anything from my bro than have hime give me something that I could only use at one place.

I agree with most people on this thread but you're just as much a part of WM being shitty paces to shop as much as their under experienced employees.

Those two statements are more ridiculous than the original story. You're just as stuck up as he is.
 
Do you think its possible that it was your brother who made the mistake and paid $20 and accidentally wrote $30 on it? Maybe thats the likely suspect as opposed to the automatic coding system. Hmm? OP, it's people like you that make me thank the FSM that I'm not in retail anymore.

Sorry OP. But your story makes you out to be the douche, not the Walmart employees.
 
Have any of you seen the documentary on walmart called "The high cost of low prices". Netflix keeps throwing it in my face.
