You really need to be contacting Walmart.

These last few months you have had doctors that wouldn’t treat you, asthma from the fire smoke, theft of your belongings and now being accused yourself of theft. Are you really sure that Nevada is the place for you?

I have found a way to totally avoid Walmart - haven't been there since March, I've used Amazon.com instead.

You don’t have to enter WW; they have curbside pickup.

The only reason I go in is because I’ve made a few silver hauls from the Coinstar, one grab was 30 silvers including a Franklin half dollar.

I've been in one once. Even bought something - a little folding step-stool. Maybe eight years ago(?)

Really not much there I need.

I had a similar experience in a Salvation Army the other day... it happened at one I rarely go to anyway...

I saw an item that I was interested in... I looked to see a price... I see a sticker that is all mashed up...

so I walk up to counter where there are three employees... one being an old manager lady... she says looking directly at me... "what happened to the sticker" ?

BUT... the way she said it was in an accusatory way... which I pick up on easily...

I say "I am not a psychic... how could I answer that question" ?

From what the sticker LOOKED like it said "$2.99"... So I say "so what do you want for it...

The manager sets it down and acknowledges someone else as it was busy (which I cannot understand EVER... because SA SUCKS)...

So the other employee see this and picks it up and says... "so what do I price him at".

She then says "$15.99"... WHICH on its best day this item RETAIL would have been $10...

I say "This is why I don't shop here"... and as I turn to leave I say "thanks for wasting my time".

Never to return.

Sorry, you had to go through that! Not sure how I would react in the same situation.

Not to take away from the OP's thread but....

I'm a supporter of the 2nd amendment. I'm curious to hear your ideas on how they should handle their policy in light of the mass shootings that have taken place in their stores?

I remember a local flea market had an incident about 10 years ago where a customer bought a gun at one booth (when openly displayed gun sales were allowed there). He got into a heated dispute and went to another booth to buy ammo. Luckily the second seller was aware of the conflict and refused to sell him the ammo. The customer left after someone called the sheriff but it sure put the place on pins and needles after that. The policy at the flea market changed after that incident. No gun sales openly offered or conducted on-site after that. (They have since been bought out and it is now a new car lot.)

last time i was at wallmart was for shoes. I needed to buy in person because I wasn't sure on Size


Last Time Before this I Had to Buy 14's Because of a swollen foot from a break.

occasionally I used to get asked by old geezers for my receipt. who needed to look busy I guess,
As they would watch me Check Out, Glance at the Receipt so Fast they only had time to see it was a walmart tape.
with words on it.
Then would hand it Back & say Have a Nice day !
of which I'd Scowl and respond "I would have, if I wasn't just accused of stealing :( "

I think they Single me out Because I almost always wear Shirts that will Offend someone,
or Draw their attention to Me.
I Probably look as Old or Older then Them. :tongue3:

yes I think if you complain to the manager they give you a gift card. at least I heard one Walmart did.
I think you Gotta Feign Embarrassment from the others seeing you being Shook Down.
I never wasted time to try here .

I Just Complain Loudly as I leave !

I've been going to wally's for 25+years and have never been accused of anything. every visit is a normal drama free experience.
By what you share on this site , trouble seems to follow you.

The only time Walmart harasses is me is when I buy cat litter, since I tell them not to put it in a plastic bag. They always scrutinize the receipt to be sure I paid for my $1.35 bag of litter! Morons...

Here in Connecticut we have a tax on plastic bags so if someone purchases only a few small items and doesn't want to pay the tax on the plastic bag they carry items out in their hand. If you pay the tax and buy a bag you can walk out without being checked. If you carry the items out without a bag they stop you. If you use the self checkout you need to use your card and I'm not using a credit card for a loaf of bread and some milk or whatever so I buy my items elsewhere.
