Wal Mart

I've noticed that,too, and think I've found their gimmick. I've learned to always unload the items on special last, that way when they are scanned I can be looking at the monitor and make sure i'm not charged full price for them.
I use the same method at other stores and have caught the same thing happening.

You need to conatct them and let them know this. Also, if an item scans wrong at the store - and you catch it - ask for a manager. If the checkout person just overrides YOUR price, that's fine for you, but doesn't change the charge every other customer pays for WalMart's error.

This is very interesting. I'll have to start looking at my receipt more closely.

Please allow Me to "enlighten" you all.
First, before you begin your shopping experience at the "Peoples Republic of WalMart", gather up ALL of the flyers that arrive in the form of the "Courier Journal"...you know?
The "Big Star" "Southern Family Market" "FoodLand" ads...showing the "sales".
Wad those flyers up, under your arm.
Proceed to load you "buggy" up at said PRoW.
When you are ready to check out...search the counters for the...most tired looking, or College aged "kid" working the cash register. Wave the flyers.
Each time an item is checked...tell Him/Her that they advertise they will "match" the price of a competitor...
which is....39 cents for a pound ground beef...14 cents bread...etc..."3 For a Dollar" dozen eggs.
They NEVER check it out! They just "ring it in"...well, why NOT ring it in...complete the shift, and go home?The Guy "behind" you pays the difference. And if He aint keeping up with the tab...He's got "money to burn".
Kept my "lectricity" on for years now.
DisHonest? No...survival.
WalMart will re-coup it on that set of tires they sell some idiot.

I have been there enough to know what everything costs and the price is right on the tape and I use different registers and me and them never get the same balance. never have coupons or matching ads just about the same thing every week, makes you wonder if the register is programmed that way, that would pay the persons opearating wages. NAH wallyworld wouldn't do that.

Walmart or customers like Cage - what's the difference?

"Walmart or customers like Cage - what's the difference?"
Money in your pocket...and one less "Happy" Chinese Banker.

Another reason added to my long list of why I NEVER shop at Walmart. Thanks for the heads up.

Why don't you just rob a convenience store or bank, Cage? It's just the same as stealing from Wal-Mart like you do. And it will be a bit easier. Survival, right?

Oh! No! YOU weren't the one who bought the set of tires...were you?

Is that your only justification for stealing? Try harder.

What few times I have check any store receipt, it has always been right.

As for creative stealing, no thanks.

Stealing is stealing whether its a nickel or a million.

Cage, do you order merchandise sent to vacant lots or to unoccupied houses? This was a neat trick the hippies used. I did not - too old for hippies, too young for you - and honest enough for me! I just thought I might make you aware of this manner of creative stealing! I might add that I always check out with that lovely Barbara at Walmart and, again, I would never lie to her!

No, earthmomma,
I order COD, then on the expected delivery day, I dress my little Gran'Boys up in rags, no shoes, with dirty faces, and unkept hair.
Then! when the delivery man arrives, he feels so sorry for them, that he just gives them their "new shoes" and pays the cost himself!
Sheeeesh...

Cage, when you steal, the difference is not just made up by those who have "money to burn". It is also made up by people who are struggling to make ends meet, just like yourself.

That said, I think you probably just like getting people riled up. You likely do not do the things you have mentioned or at the very least do not get away with it. I have been questioned when asking Wal-Mart to price match numerous times, either due to their opinion that it is not apples to apples or it is first time the cashier has heard the advertised price. Since none of them were raised in a barn, they'd immediately be suspicious of the prices you gave. JMHO

BINGO! Joy! You win the prize!
At least ONE person on here don't believe everything that's posted.

Hi Joy!! Good to see you here!!

Thanks, both of you.

Cage, can my prize be chocolate? Hershey Bar with almonds is my favorite...you know, just in case.

Sorry...joy.
All I can award is Heath "chocolate an' Toffee" bars...or left over Halloween Peanut M&M's...

Ate all of the "White Chocolate an Almond" Hershey "kisses"...
Still have ah' few "Slim Jims" though...

LOL...I'll take a sampling of all of the above.

Walmart is making their money by advertising a low price on an item and then you pay $1.00 more for something else without being aware.They have a good scam.Buy from the small stores and help your neighbors out,if you check the prices are usually even lower.

There are several Pharmacies that are lower on many drugs, plus they don't make you walk around for 45 minutes waiting on your scrip to be filled...another sales ploy?

You got me.

Cage, do you remember that program on BET where the cafe owner said they would not send a tape/CD COD and "You know why!" I am not prolonging discussion - just laughing about her comment. BTW, does anyone remember the name of the program?

I did have an E-mail with pictures of Cargo Ships (5)that MAERSK was building for Walmart to bring all their trinkets from china and the rest of the world, it said that they were 1382 foot long and could carry (I may be wrong I have been once before) but I believe it said 15000 of them shiping containers each, that is longer than an aircraft carrier, but we must keep Wallyworld supplied.

Someone once said that if you even thought about going to Walmart that was committing the Walmart sin! LOL! (It was not Jimmy Carter!) And do not forget "I did not go to Walmart alone or with that woman!"
