Quoted: People who shop at Walmart get what they deserve. to an extent i agree. However in my case i trully have no choice. They have forced all the smaller shops out of business. In my area i have a choice. 2 grocery stores, walmart, kmart and cvs drugstore. That is it. the closest shopping area is over 30 miles away. not going there when i need something quick. I know it is a lost cause but i am in the process of writting a nasty gram to corporate. This was the last straw for me. From being hastled for my reciet while trying to leave to this crap. Lets also not foget getting mauled by every fucking group in state wanting a handout entering and leaving. I am sick of spending hard earned money and being treated like a fucking criminal. 1GUNRUNNER I am sure you never shop in walmart. Wish i could do the same. mike P.s. Have i told you walmart sucks? |

i just returned from wal-mart & for the first time i came home in a good mood. i first went
to the bass pro shop to buy shotgun shells. the price on the shelf was 7.99 a box for 20 gauge remington express #4 shot. i get to counter and the box rings up to 11.99. well after 20 minutes of waiting and talking to a manager (i use this term loosely) they would not drop the price below 9.99. this was supposed to be the correct price he said. i then walked back to the hunting section a proceded to tell everyone there what happened (in a loud voice) it started with attention eveyone that does not want to be ripped off by this store.......... to make a long story short i was escorted out by 2 officers. i then went to wal-mart and the old guy behind the counter bent over backwards to try to find me the shells i wanted. he found 2 boxes which i purchased. on the way out the door checker saw the shells in the see thru bag i had and said " well going shooting sounds like fun wish i could go" this was about a 60+ year old lady. i smiled and wished her a good day. by the way the same shells were 7.88 at wal-mart |

Good for you The_Beer_Slayer. There's waaaay too much invasion of privacy as it is. The "warranty coverage" sounds like BS to me. They probably wanted your personal info for their marketing bean counters, then next thing you know you'd be getting junk mail and phone solicitations. No thanks.

Quoted: I know it is a lost cause but i am in the process of writting a nasty gram to corporate. I did that about a year ago when I was lied to by a manager. Told them I wouldn’t shop there again until they could confirm that lying to costumers is not their policy. I never heard back. I don’t bother shopping at wal-mart anymore. How about we all come up with a name and address that we all use when these places want out personal info. Could be a good laugh when stores around the country start getting the same info on a fictitious person. How does John Michelson of 427 Birchwood Street in Tucson AZ sound? P.s.

Yeah,I was so pissed off. Cause they wouldn't let us checkout at the front. We had to checkout in sporting goods. I was not done with my shopping. They wouldn't even let me finish. So,the_beer_slayer and I checked out. And let me tell you something. I love to shop. But not at a place that is going to restrict me from where I am aloud to cash out. You know,we actually quit shopping at K-mart cause you could never get anyone to help you. It's getting to the point where you have to wait on them for hours before they help you. Pisses me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really try not to buy anything out of the sporting goods area just to avoid the hassles.

While I hate the anti-us products initative abd the anti-labor stance of wally world, I will give them this.
25 12ga. #8 Winchester. $2.88 No questions, no hassle. Was told by Sporting goods that I could go to the front registers. Did so, no questions or hassles, flashed my (out of state) DL, the clerk saw I was over 18 (duh! I'm 34 w/moustache and Adonis-like build - HAHAHAHAHAHA) Anyway, paid, was wished a good day, and walked out. Gawking at gadgets aside, we were in and out in <8 mins. Tango7 |

Okay, about the fact that we have products made in other countries. Does every other store have [b]ONLY[/b] U.S. made products? And I know that after TLE closes, you have to go to sporting goods or electronics to buy car audio products in our store. Is a loss prevention policy. Never heard of the registering thing, though.

Quoted: I tell him it's no problem for me that if he refuses to return with a paid reciet i can just reverse the charges on my credit card. No offense, but it is sort of silly to balk at giving them your info for the "warranty", since you were basically going to give them the same thing anyways as soon as you paid by CC. I realized this a year or so ago when I refused to get one of those "Preferred Customer" cards from my grocery store when they started requiring them for all sale prices. Then I realized I was still using my debit card to pay for my purchases. Easier for them to track the purchases with their card, but you'd be naive to think they don't know exactly who you are, where you live etc. the second you swipe that card. If you don't want your purchases tracked/logged, etc just about the only solution is to pay by cash. Rocko |

the point is they didn't need any additional info. Yes it was done with a CC. But that is not kept in the little book with my name, address, phone number, and Drivers license info. Walmart has Zero need for anything other than my payment info. period. I work on the walmart computer systems. It is not as easy as you think to track info for a particular sale without a receit. Sure it can be done but at least they have to work for it.
The last thing i need is some inbred welfare mongrel having access to my personal info by stealing the book from the store. It is an invasion of privacy. Plain and simple. |

I too have had some run ins with the sporting goods dept. at my Wal-Mart. The first few I bit my tounge and then finaly talked to the store manager. Problem has since been rectified. As I looked back, my problem wasn't with Wal-Mart, but with a few employees. This can be found anywhere. Now, in Wal-Marts defense, I hit them up recently for a donation for our annual fishing rodeo and they donated about $100 worth of gear. I found this to be a nice gesture and went back a month later and asked them to cut me a deal on an 870 I wanted to give away at Hunter Safety Education. They agreed to sell me one at cost, but the kid that won it needed a left hand gun. Wal-mart made up the difference in price. All in all, if I deal with the sporting goods manager or store manager and not some flunkie stock boy I have pretty good luck. Might just be my store though. Walmart is the only thing closer that at least an hour away.
