Let me start by saying: I love Wal-Mart! I really do. It is amazing! My sister loves it too. She calls it the magical place and is often jealous of my frequent trips to this amazing and magical place since she does not have one near here. (Believe it or not! She really doesn't live near one.)
With that said, the other day I bought a few big boxes of Total cereal for $2 each. But when I checked my receipt, they had charged me almost $4 a box. I had to go to customer service to get my money back.
Then while I was in Arizona, my father-in-law mentioned that he has been gypped at Wal-mart multiple times. He said the prices that are marked are not always the prices that they charge. He said that Wal-mart's systems are too complex to make these mistakes on accident. He said it is institutionalized theft.
I told him I thought he was being a little dramatic about it.
Then I remembered that when I bought a book at Wal-mart during my trip, they over charged me again. But I still wasn't convinced.
SOOOOO, get this!!! I went food shopping at Wal-mart today. When I got in the car, I realized that they had over charged me for 4 different items!! I couldn't believe it! I had to, of course, call the manager and regulate. I, very nicely, gave her a piece of my mind.
I will be watching my reciepts VERY closely. I suggest you do the same because ... dear me ... my father-in-law was right! Wal-mart is robbing us blind!!!

Thats crazy! Paul has always hated that place. I don't know if i should tell him this, he might just ban it from me forever.
ReplyDeleteI've always been suspicious of Wal Mart. I feel like I'm selling out to the Man when I shop there, and now it seems that my gut feeling is right again! I never get ripped off at Macey's or Target.
ReplyDeleteYep, they have cheating me many, many times. One time I got something for free AND money back, as they had a policy that if it rings up the wrong price they give you, like $5. I'm sure they don't do that anymore....they would be filing bankruptcy if they did.
ReplyDeleteIs it ok if I complete hate WalMart and everything they represent?
