Title: WALMART!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Mike Leon on June 16, 2007, 01:02:42 PM
Walmart wouldn't sell Apocalypse Now to Shimra because he didn't have his I.D. Then they took the movie and told me and Trader that we couldn't pay for it either because it was illegal (a blatant lie). I went back to the video department and picked up another copy and paid for it and they didn't even card me. No one ever cards me...

Does anyone have any sweet stories about Walmart being shitty?

The WALMART is the scourge of society. I hope their executives burn in Hell for what they are doing to America and the World.

I've only been to Walmart once in the last few years (looking for Raiden 3 as I wanted to save $10) and it was awful. Half the lights in the store didn't even work.

Didn't find the game either so it was all for naught.

Sorry guys... I shop there for certain groceries because the prices can't be beat.

Thankfully, Meijer exists. Also, the price gap between Kroger's and Wal-Mart has been decreasing.

Wal-Mart may not be very needed in a large city, but having one in a rural town is a life saver.  The stores by me are all very well maintained, but I'm sure this is in the hands of the manager and will very widely.  

I really don't have a problem with Wal-Mart.  I have heard several complaints about the company but have never seen any solid evidence against them and certainly not enough to outweigh the benefits.  

The Wal-Mart grocery in West Lafayette blows the regular grocery stores out of the water in terms of selection and prices - even quality, which may come as a shock to some people.  (Target is still better in terms of quality and selection, and I usually end up going there instead.)

Take a trip to Washington Court House. There you'll see how much of a life saver Wal-Mart is for it's downtown.

From what you have said about Washington Courthouse in the past I don't believe Wal-Mart is the problem.

If I was selling it and you tried to buy the DVD, I'd refuse to sell it to you as well.

Then again, I'd do it cause I knew you and would be looking to be a general pain in the $#%.

Targets is better then wal-mart in almost every way and if you use cupons very well Krogers is cheaper and to some extent, CVS can even be cheaper.

Wal Mart sucks and all, but it's fun to go there at like 2 AM when all the weirdos are out. I have some good stories about that.

It's WALMART's loss, they specialize on impulse buys, and they very much failed to cash in on this impulse buy. If I was a total ass, I would have continually walked through the sensormatic, as most retail stores use those to calculate number of people entering a store, and thus their per cap. Boy, it sure would have sucked for them to have a really low per cap.

Awesome, and you would lose your job and I would settle the age discrimination suit with Walmart out of court for the tune of a .25 million. Sound like a sweet trade?

The day I move into a trailer park is the day I start going to Wal-Mart.  There are at least 5 Wal-Marts within 30 minutes of me, I have never stepped foot in one Wal-mart in my life!

Wal-Mart is a large reason as to why China is turning into a capitalistic economy.

I hate them but if I want something cheap I'll go to them.

Just out of curiosity, why did you choose Wal-Mart to begin with? Do they have better DVD prices? But I fully agree, Wal-Mart sucks.

It's like observing a real world psychology experiment.

Good luck with lawsuits like that.  If your lucky, you'd get cab fare, I'd get wrote up, and that'd be the end of it.
