Evil Walmart cashiers

Jul 24, 2011 01:01

So, I know all about how awful Wal-mart is and I totally agree with the fact that they're kinda evil. However, even knowing that, I recently began shopping there anyway, strictly because of their price-matching and coupon policies. Basically, in case you didn't know, Walmart will honor their competitors ads, within certain guidelines, and each ( Read more... )

Hi neighbor. I live right around the corner from that store and I try to avoid it as often as possible. I would rather go to HEB across the street.

HEB! It is so wierd going from Boston where there are 3 major supermarket chains to Texas where there is one. I find if frustrating because I like to choose the cheapest option. I just find it so strange that HEB basically has a monopoly here. Why haven't any other chains come?

It is exactly the same for me. When I was in Boston, I had a Hannifords five minutes one way, a Shaws five minutes the other way, and a Stop and Shop ten minutes away. Plus three Asian markets on the street next to mine and a Walmart not to far away either. It has been wierd getting used to going to only one grocery store. I'm used to finding the lowest prices for everything. Heck, I used to walk to either Hannifords or Shaws sometimes they were so close.

Howdy neighbor! Funny thing is I wound up at the HEB after that, because I wanted the meal deal and that's not one of the things I can price-match.
Thanks!

It sounds like the cashier was scolded by a manager for her own matching and couponing attempts. Calling everything they don't like "stealing" or "theft" is very common among managers and other people who feel threatened by people daring to do things normal people would want to do, or common faults normal people can have without being considered pathological. It's to capitalize on social conditioning against criminal activities. "Time theft" sounds much worse than being lazy, for instance; the movie industry was represented by a guy who called VCR owners "rapists ( ... )

They also can't take advantage of any price errors even if they didn't know it was an error in the first place.

How does this work, exactly? I know "ignorance is no excuse under the law" but this sounds ridiculous.

Holy moly, that is so far beyond bad_service right into vile.

I can't even believe she thought it would be okay to keep calling you a thief and accuse you of stealing. Completely wtf_ing about that over here.
