I made a late run to the california wal mart for some nursery water and a pack of smokes, and of course while i was there picked up a few more items (being female i can't go shopping and get only what i went for.) so anyway i ended up getting a gift basket, two packs of tee shirts for my son, and three packs of mechanical pencils for stocking stuffers. the store was closing, and i went to the register, paid for the items i purchased, and the cashier put the bags in my cart for me. when i got home, i found that i had been charged for an extra gallon of nursery water (no biggie, it's only like a dollar, but still), and was completely missing the tee shirts and pencils.... which combined is nearly thirty dollars worth of merchandise i didn't recieve, but paid for!when i called the store, the person that answered the phone told me that i was pretty much SOL, and would have to call back in the morning if it was still there and anything could be done. i just thought that it would be a good thing for you all to know about, especially with it being christmas time and no doubt everyone is in a hurry to get everything done and doesn't think twice when the cashier puts bags in the cart. Make sure you check! i made that mistake once, but i can gurantee i'll never do that again!!! :cussing: :banghead:

Immediate gratification. People are on the go more than ever before. You wouldn't believe how many people pay for their groceries at SFW and then go home leaving more than a few bags behind. Bwhahahahahah

Be about it
It's Wal-Mart, for crap's sake. Complaining about Wal-Mart is as good as complaining about some fast food joint. You have to go back...you just do. No matter how sh*tty your experience is, you will go again. Just zip it.

Being a man, I absolutely hate shopping. Unless I'm in a book store or a store like Tower Records, I try to spend as little time as possible in a story. I get my stuff and get the hell out. I sometimes get frustrated in Wal-Mart or Target or the mall because some shoppers cruise the walkways like they're in a museum or zoo or something.

I went to Wal-mart this morning looking for a particular item. They didn't have it, and once again, I was reminded why I despise that store so much.

It's not my favorite place to shop, but damn, the prices are right for life's little essentials.
