Fuck walmart and fuck brick and mortar stores

Fuck walmart and fuck brick and mortar stores.

I grew up in the mom and pop generation, which was much worse, but I’m not even going to go on that book-long rant. Instead I’m going to focus on a few occasions that each made me wish that wal wart employees would just get the fuck out of society; go rot in a fucking crackhouse.

The first involves the tech center, where I went to buy my son a “day 1” copy of a game he wanted. I went at around 1AM, since I’m currently self-employed and work mostly at night. I waited for two hours, during which time I contacted three employees that went in the back to get the clerk for the electronics department and came back telling me “she’ll be with you in a moment”, and then of course she never was. I eventually left without it. I came back the next afternoon – once again, nobody there. I waited 40 minutes and left. My son had to do with the digital download, and he still bitches to this date about patches. If you’ve never been to a wal mart, you can’t just take the game – or basically anything in that department – to the front checkout because they are all locked behind glass.

The next two are the ones that really rile me up. A stupid old man that works in the sporting goods section. He clearly looks like the sort of person who once ran or owned a mom & pop before wal mart ran him out of business. A 60 some year old guy who acts like he owns that department. I once bought a knife there and his scanner wasn’t working, so he just wrote me a receipt by hand. I assumed that the bar code must be deactive because it’s behind glass or something, why else would he do that? Nope, it tripped off the alarm. The woman monitoring the doors freaked out, shaking and sweating, and as I was taking care of it with her some asshole walks in and looks and me and shakes his head while looking me right in the eye as if to say “shame on you!”.

The second involving that same asshole is when I went to buy a recurve bow for my son. He didn’t want a compound, he wanted to do that stupid quick flinging shit that the trick shot guy on youtube does. I googled for one online and walmart popped up, I wasn’t going to order it there but I noticed it said “in stock at your local burton store!”, so I went there. When I didn’t see it anywhere, I thought why not ask the guy if maybe it’s in the back or will be in stock tomorrow or something. I say, and I’m hardly paraphrasing if at all –

>Hello, I was looking for a recurve bow
He interupts me
>a what?
I say
>Uh, well I was looking for a recurve bow
he interupts again and with a frustrated tone
>I don’t know what that is.
I respond
>Well if you would let me finish. The website said that it was in stock at your local burton store, that’s here. I didn’t see it, so I was wondering if maybe it just sold out and will be restocked soon or if you have it in the back?
He responds
>There is a lot of stuff on the website that we don’t carry in the store
Dumbfounded, I re-iterate myself
>Yeah, but the website said that it was in stock at this store I was just wondering if.

End of Pt2 omfg I never realized how tiny their 2000 character limit is, it took me like 5 minutes to type this shit in wordpad.

To which he interupts me again, in a very frustrating tone of voice:
>Like I said, there is a *WHOLE LOT* [emphasis] of stuff on that website that we don't carry here. Now is there something that I can help you with?
I said
>Yeah, you could stop being an asshole. I've worked in customer service before and...
and he cuts me off and says
>You're gonna have to leave or I'll call security
I say
>Go for it! Now as I was saying, I worked in customer service before (he's just looking away from me while leaning against the counter now) and the appropriate response to my inquiry would had been "I'm sorry sir, but the website must be incorrect. I really wish we had it here for you but we don't.", not to treat me like a moron who thinks that all several million things on that website would somehow magically be here, like this is somehow santa's magical bag.

At this point someone walks up behind me, so I just leave.

End of PT3

Never been back to wal mart since, not even for groceries. I hope every fucking brick and mortar store goes down. People are assholes, and having to deal with them was always the WORST part of having to aquire stuff.

And as for the mom and pop era, I'll touch on that slightly. Do you like being discrimating against because [insert anything they don't like]? Do you like assholes changing prices right at the counter because they figure you'll just pay for it, or they realize it's the last one, etc? Do you like assholes that never open when they're supposed to, and close before they're supposed to? Do you like assholes that sometimes just don't even show up that day because, I don't know, maybe it was just too nice of a day?

Fuck off. I'm sick of people. The sooner amazon takes over the better.

>inb4 lol ur the asshole [some dickhead who probably fits the description of any shitty customer service/clerk employee]

Entitled fucker with spoiled son but can only manage to shop at Walmart. How far out in bum-fuck nowhere do you live that the only store is Walmart?

>Burton is between Flint and Davison Michigan, hometown of Michael Moore.

People who pay money to businesses and expect courteous service are entitled?

Really Yea Forums? For real? Do the pol faggots agree?

Is this what entitled is now?

But isn't Yea Forums the incel forum, where 90% of people here think they are entitled to sex?

That’s why I go to target. You pay a little more but don’t have to put up with shit like this.

shut up boomer

fuck mods, fuck jannies, fuck trannies

When an employee say's il be right back wait 10mins max.
After that walk out unless its a major purchase.
9/10 times they're fobbing you off.

>And as for the mom and pop era, I'll touch on that slightly. Do you like being discrimating against because [insert anything they don't like]?

Or how about assholes that will only take certain bills and won't take coins. Or assholes who yell at peoples kids for touching anything. Or assholes that, well basically, every fucking "mom and pop" owner was a fucking asshole. They owned the place, so no fucking wonder. They act like you just walked right into their living room and are trying to take their stuff -- they never had any appreciation for the business/money people provided them with.

This is the reason they went down so quickly. Nobody wanted to drive 30 more minutes, or even 5, to save that extra 20 cents on this or 5 cents on that. It was because you were all a bunch of fucking cunts and people couldn't get away from you quick enough.

Now it's happening to all brick and mortar stores, and GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE!!!

It's trolls and entitled commie college kids.
These will be the same fuckers that don't want to be caught never helping the customers.

Nobody fucking cares faggot

>They act like you just walked right into their living room and are trying to take their stuff -- they never had any appreciation for the business/money people provided them with.

Why would they, they were entitlement babies. Most mom and pops were passed down through the generations, and others were just started by people who had lots of money, most of which never worked a day in their life, just had pieces of paper with their names on it.

Actually, this is how it often went:

Boomer inherits house from whoever
>boomer uses houses as collateral to get a loan from a bank
>boomer is using this inherited houses value to become self employed
>boomer is paying 1.3% interest on the loan

It will never happen again.

Reread your posts. By your own descriptions you come into both interactions with preconceived notions and an attitude. "I've worked in customer service" I'm sorry but if you've worked in customer service you should realize being called an asshole in the first 5 seconds immediately pegs you as a pain in the ass, entitled dickhead of a customer. Courtesy is a two-way street. Also, if you looked it up online you could have the stock code ready for the guy to look up rather than getting pissy because he didn't know what a recurve was and didn't instantly know the stocking situation for the entire walmart memorized..

First 5 seconds?

That was WELL after he TWICE insinuated that I was a moron by purposefully rejecting my reference to the websites declaration that it was in stock at that store, and doing so in a frustrated tone of voice.

Why don't YOU go re-read my posts, asshole.

BTW I didn't read past that 5 seconds part, and won't, because you're either a troll or don't know how to read, so why the fuck should I.

You talk back at your cashier job at fast food and come to Walmart to ask the stupidest shit.

Only home depot still had customer service. I quit.

>And interrupted you twice, and didn't even know what a recurve bow is, even though he runs the sporting goods department.

>walmart

Asking if something that is supposed to be in stock, according to the companies website, is in fact in stock, is the "stupidest shit"?

It's true, Yea Forums is literally full of retards.

Why couldn't you have just told him what a recurve was? Why didn't you have the stock number handy if you looked it up online?

Although I was actually nice to begin with, it doesn't matter anyway.

Do you really not know the differences in the concepts of "personal" and "business"? They are not only different, they are polar opposites. Nobody operating in a business is supposed to be able to get personal -- insulting, whatever -- with anyone, or else they are no longer conducting business, they are being improfessional

I wonder if some people on Yea Forums are so out of touch with reality from living on the internet in their mothers basement that all the education and psychosocial rehab in the world might not be enough to ever re-integrate them into society.

Proving the point right here. Wants people to read a fucking essay bitching about his experience with walmart. Call him out on behavior he wants everybody to sympathize with. Immediately rants that he can't be bothered to read a response. Here it is again. Say it slowly with me. You are an entitled dickhead. Fuck you and your little bitch son .

>>THIS

- AMEN

By your own description no one insulted you. You immediately perceived an insult because you wanted immediate results.

>>Sound Exactly Like the STUPID asshole he's Referring TO with your 12yo " Shut Up Boomer " attitude.

>>SPOT ON truth ALL OF Yea Forums

OK, you're a troll, or literally retarded.

Not going to elucidate out how obviously wrong this is.

Acting like employees are morons. If scanner wasn't working he's not going to give you hand receipt. Nobody fucking does this and if he actually did a hand receipt (or even an unscanned register receipt) why did you think you could walk out of the store without having to show this receipt and having people confirm its authenticity? You bitch on mom & pops but only mom & pops let you walk out with a hand receipt.

>no checking, no savings, no CD's,
Let me rephrase that

>No privilege, no entitlement, didn't grow up with a silver spoon in their mouth

>Nobody fucking does this and if he actually did a hand receipt (or even an unscanned register receipt) why did you think you could walk out of the store without having to show this receipt and having people confirm its authenticity?

He did, and I fucking told you.

God damn it, can Yea Forums have any intelligent discourse at all?

I feel like I'm fucking talking to 4 years.

How many of you work at walmarts?

Oh, that's right, Yea Forums is full of basement dwelling neets.

>I feel like I'm fucking talking to 4 years.
4 year olds*

>I assumed that the bar code must be deactive because it’s behind glass or something, why else would he do that?

He said why in his very first post, retard.

>My son had to do with the digital download, and he still bitches to this date about patches.

Physical copies of games still receive patches retard.

You can re-install the original and just play offline to play the single player, unpatched.

Retard.

Whenever you go to download a game that you have purchased digitally, even though it may not be on it's newest patch, it's on a newer patch since day 1 for sure.

Some people like to be able to have the option to play games the way they were released. I think it's the only reason besides collecting that some people still buy physical copies.

Exactly. I'd be mortified if I couldn't re-install my dark souls 3 disc back to the pre-estoc nerf for PVE.

"You're wrong but I can't show you how you're wrong". Kind of a retard response, no? Point out exactly, from your own words were he called you an asshole or a moron? He doesn't know what a recurve is. You don't tell him. You immediately launch into the "internet says its in stock". How is he going to check if its in stock if he doesn't know what it is? Yes, he could have said something along the lines of "do you know the item number so I can look it up" but it took very little for you to jump to calling him an asshole. Again, Mr. Customer Service. Now that I've called you an entitled dickhead, what kind of customer service could I expect from you? Chop chop boy, bring me my widget.

>"You're wrong but I can't show you how you're wrong".
It's already in my original posts, troll... or literal retard.

Then why the fuck did you think you could walk out without showing receipt and them doing a call confirm. Are you too stupid to understand how basic store security works?

Why the fuck did they ever keep patching that game for PVP in the fucking first place. They ruined 90% of the fucking game for a few hundred pvp nerds that hating the patches anyway and all quit playing.

Fuck I hate fromsoft.

No one cares. Holy fuck you are dumb.

>unable to trust their own customers
>yor paperz plz
>"store security"

Well this is not samefag, but he answered you for me

Now go troll someone who will respond to you in other ways than just confirming you are a troll, or a literal retard.

He calls other people retards. He thinks because its in the locked case it doesn't have to be scanned. Lets replace the more advanced tech security with no-tech barrier security for our most expensive items instead of having both types of secuity

And the servers have been so deprecated for so long. Even two years ago when I was playing there was insufferable latency with EVERYONE. I literally couldn't come across one person that wouldn't be a red bar in something like GT Sport or SC6.

Well that and an employee fucking put it in a bag with a hand written receipt, as if that were ok.

Perhaps you've completely missed the point of this thread?

>walmart employees are fucking assholes and morons

You're fucking shopping at Walmart not a buzz-in store on the Goldcoast. Walmart deals will millions in loses every year (passed on to customer so not really "loss") There are criminal gangs that target department stores and Walmart has an entire crime prevention division complete with tails, stake-outs and undercover officers. And you think you can just waltz out with a unscanned item and a hand receipt?

Actually YES he is entitled to service. That's what those people are paid to do.

Not our fault Walmart doesn't implement better security features, like scanners you see in Fred Meyer, Safeway, other big outlets.

This was actually comical.

>There are criminal gangs that target department stores

Ok, Paul Kersey. Do they run around carrying plungers?

youtu.be/jnnetfIP9WE

No the point of this thread is some guy, who by his own description is a "That guy" of obnoxious customers, wanted everybody to stroke his ego and agree that "poor him" he had a bad experience at Walmart. Lets all hate on physical stores and just shop online. Can't tell if he's the retard, he likes that word, or simply an ineffective stooge for Amazon.

They do have scanners. By his description the register scanner wasn't working so he just assumed items in the locked case didn't have to be scanned.

Not hand-held scanners, the ones that sit next to the exit/entrance, that can detect whether or not the item has been properly purchased, if not, then the thing will beep and alarm everyone in the store.

careers.walmart.com/corporate/global-investigations-and-security

Seems silly but I'm not shitting Walmart security is more than a dude chasing your run of the mill shoplifters. In fact some of their investigators are high in demand for teaching training courses involving criminal analytics and doing vehicle tails.

you mean these?

>the register scanner
found the clerk fag
>a "That guy" of obnoxious customers,

The old man didn't care if you set off the scanner, he's an old idiot who just assumed that you'd do what you did and show it to security, they'd call him (I assume they did) and you'd go home.

Walmart loves hiring stupid old people.

There are goddamn aisle numbers retard. Nobody gives a fuck about what degenerate shit you ordered or saw online. We don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Find it yourself.

People are working minding their own business stupid. I ought to ask you to step outside.

>Walmart loves hiring stupid old people.
Because it's owned by one. A privileged little cunt born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Hordes his money thinking it's good for the economy. People like him, and Jeff Bezos, need to be exterminated. We need a new economic system, not one that was devised by people who shit in kettles they kept under their beds and grew up in an era where the most amazing technologies were trains and light bulbs.

Found another clerkfag

>We don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Find it yourself.

Then why the fuck do you work there? No wonder you make such shitty money.

Holy shit dude, assimilate into society and realize Walmart is not a place you go to demand quality ANYTHING. They pay their people $8 an hour. Would you give a fuck about a stranger for $8 an hour? Nobody would.

But by his account the guy just scrawled something out on a piece of paper so it wouldn't have mattered if there was hand scanner. This is why this seems fishy. Even if scanner wasn't working the register could be working in which case he would have an official register receipt. If the register wasn't working they guy isn't allowed to access it to take the guys money so they would have had someone walk him to a different register.

this isn't pasta guys

Find it yourself bitch. The cheese is in the cheese aisle.

And fast food pays even less. This is why they spit on your food. Well worth the extra savings though, eh? Just go on, feed that shit to your kids too, it's not like they're doing anything gross to it like rubbing snot on it or massaging their sweaty balls before they handle everything.

You're right they don't pay me enough to deal with your bitchass. That's not part of my job. It wasn't my job at home nergo it's not my job here.

>Walmart loves hiring stupid old people

>reading is important

The fact that they pay you at all means yes, it is your fucking job to do everything you're supposed to.

People like you don't deserve jobs at all. Go rot on the streets. You're everything that's wrong with this country.

>when you intentionally sign yourself up for a shit paying job
>but then you get butthurt that you don't get paid more from your shitfuck employer and/or customers not wanting to tip because it's not a legal duty to do so
>decide to go full nigger by spitting in people's food or wiping your ass with the hamburger patty and cause them to get food poisoning as a result
Yeah, that's always a brilliant idea to do.

Never clerked in my live. There's no way I would put up with the shit of "customer's always right" I was a collage professor but got out because of the same attitude in students

Why would you assume locked case means not scanned when scanning is not just security but also for computer inventory? I mean you don't have to be a fucking genius to realize a note scrawled on a piece of paper is not a bar code.

Happens to millions of people every single day. Especially since fast food workers got all riled up about that $15 an hour shit. Now many of them are all pissed off, they know that most Americans don't think they deserve a living wage despite the fact that they work for a living and are feeding your family.

muh nostalgia!

Ha! You were never a college professor. Of all the academics in this country, less than 1 in a thousand of them will ever become a professor, and none of them waste their time on Yea Forums, or communicate like you.

I know, I read shit from academics all the time. You sound like you never even passed the basic english class in grad school.

>I mean you don't have to be a fucking genius to realize a note scrawled on a piece of paper is not a bar code.

Let me rephrase that for you, professor.

>You don't have to be a fucking genius to assume that someone whose job it is is to know what he's doing, would know what he's doing.

Talk to me in the parking lot like a retard or on my day off see what happens.

Oh, you got out of a 300-500k a year job?

Good for you!

I'd shoot you the moment you advanced on me, and get away with it. That's literally what would happen.

Don't expect a pleb to understand how the real world works.

If you step up to harass me at my job one of us is going to prison. And it's gonna be you if i don't beat your ass.

Cheese is in the cheese aisle stupid. There are numbers on the aisles. Go find it yourself. I got work to do. talking to you about your cat isn't my job to do.

Oh you fucked your dog that's nice.

Don't expect a pleb to understand that if you approach someone in an aggressive hostile manner that immediately throws the vibe of intending on causing great harm, you'll either get zapped by a taser, sprayed with pepper spray, or get shot, especially in today's times.

>If you step up to harass me at my job one of us is going to prison

lmao. Nope. I'd piss you off, you'd advance, I'd plug you in the chest twice with my Glock 31, you'd go down. I'd talk to the police, and walk away.

Or let me guess, you live in NY or California, don't you?

Yes everybody takes basic English in grad school. Pages through National Geographic for the tranny pictures and claims to be well read in academic literature. Retired, can't sleep while waiting on kid to get back with car. Usually kill time by pointless arguments with fuckwads on /pol but I'll occasionally argue with fuckwads on /b. Lots of academics go on /b because there are a lot of experiments that involve lots of down time. A few times I've even had long intellectually stimulating conversations. This isn't one of those times.

So you're a dangerous cuck with your comfort gun.

I really don't want to talk to you. Try me. Worth it to see you put away in prison. Just try to get away with it claiming self defense. People like you are sick and it's disgusting to talk to you.

You're gonna cry on your way to the hospital and courthouse retard. Please try me.

>I'd talk to the police, and walk away.
I'm assuming

1) white
2) middle or upper class
3) middle aged or older

Unfortunately, if these are true, then he is correct. He would not get in trouble for it.

You're cucked so you bought a gun to comfront yourself dipshit.

Yeah they got your back because that's how the world works.

The one who doesn't understand what manners are here is you. Please get yourself serving life in prison.

If you're scared of a smack you're scared to pull the trigger. Piss off. Fuck your question bitch.

>So you're a dangerous cuck with your comfort gun.
If you don't act like a nigger who chimps on people in public, then he or anyone wouldn't have to pull a gun on you, dipshit.

Depends on how hard he provoked him, but not necessarily. If the other guy has a criminal record and those 3 things are true, then basically nothing matters; he'll walk.

>Mom and pop stores suck too
Been to a lot of gaming and comic shops where this is true, and a few where it isn't. I'll drive an extra 30 minutes to patronize a place that isn't complete garbage. Not everyone has that ability, and that's where Amazon comes in. Antitrust, anyone?

So if that's what would happen then don't fucking talk to me because I own a gun too.

The world is a dangerous place for you to be a stupid retarded bitch. Oooooh I'm so scared of you.

Don't fuck with me at my job buddy. You win. You're the big man.

Damn dude, don't bottle up those feelings, really let us know how you feel? Better when you got home to the trailer park? Faggot

I used to work at the courthouse before requesting and eventually getting a nice job here at the jail (72k a year, work 3 days on, 3 days off, 2 days on, 2 days off, and all the benefits you can imagine, including 2 weeks paid vacation)

I can attest that this is how it works. White middle class boomers get away with everything. They are literally the only times that I've seen the court use an abayance to dismiss the charges.

Don't go into academia. You're going to be disappointed with the salary. Yes established PIs at big Research Universities can make that much and more. Professor at a small public teaching college or research professor at the bottom of the totem pole can make as low as $40k. I pulled $80 in the 90's teaching & research between student attitude "you expect me to work" and administration mindset "show me the money" I moved into consulting for a few years at $120k and retired

I hope this is cringe bait, because every pointless gripe you had about minimum wage workers made me gag. Seriously that shit happens everywhere not just stupid walmart.

What the fuck is your problem? You cone with your cuck political issues to my job to ask me shit and talk like a faggot.

I don't want to hear you talk. Because I know this is what's behind it.

Again I will be the one claiming self defense after I kick your head in or take your gun or get security and police involved. You think I'm not gonna call you out on your bullshit? You're not going to do shit bitch

Fuck you and your question.

No of course not. The court and the judge are his friends.

Sick.

Me again. I remember one case in particular, that I will probably never forget, where some young adult was looking at hard time for a shitload of crimes all done on a spree, and the father got all of the charges dropped by telling the job it was "his first manic episode" but it's ok because "he's in psychiatric treatment now."

You still have to patch a game that you buy a disc off. You’re stupid and so is your son. If you had a shitty experience and you continue to go back then you’re a faggot and should shut up.

Stock numbers tend to not help the local store because they're usually localized under different variables given the store has way less stock than the online site has. A lot of the store's stock data is autogenerated. Furthermore, the individual behind the desk should've prompted the explanation or a description of what he were looking for. The customer shouldn't have to interpret the service provider, it's the other way around. "I don't know what that is." isn't a good response and a conversation ender. He then fires the "Durr hurr everything we sell online is not sold in store." like no shit. But at least attempt to cross reference the UPC and the item number to see if you can refer the customer to another store (which is an option in the SMART app on any telxon) so you can at least be useful to the person who got duped by the spongey programming of the site.

btw it's logged into the store's inventory when it were filed as an S2S, so the backroom scans it, and it registers the same UPC that was uploaded to the site, into the store's inventory and as a result the online site pings the item number and lists it as available; if anyone were wondering why that happens. There's a couple other reasons, like dupe item numbers, or identical UPS, but those are rare, and the S2S option is generally the most common one.

I was able to explain that to every customer and then advertised the Ship to Store option because that's what you do when you're competent at customer service.

actually he is not entitled to service. those "we have the right to refuse service signs to anyone" are protected by federal law unless its race, sex, religion, age,.....
only california goes as far to protect gays, and political affiliations, etc

add: but its in the best interests of the company to provide it, be he is not entitled to it

I went even further for my safety i don't want him asking stupid shit. The justice system is serious I don't want fucking stupid here with his problem and his cuck issues approaching me in the parking lot at night and talking to me.

He's not scared and he's starting shit and he is fucking mistaken if he thinks that's correct behavior. If you're not scared you're asking for it to happen to you.

How is he dangerous? You’re the dangerous one. You just admitted that all it takes to get you to chimp out and go to prison is some mean words. Dumb fucking faggot.

Me again, and I shit you not those crimes included breaking and entering, sexual assault, malicious destruction of property over $2,000, running from the police, assaulting an officer, resisting arrest. And I'm pretty sure there's a few others I forgot.

Physical stores are nice because sometimes you just want to see it IRL before you make a purchase. I can't understand how people can buy shoes and pants online considering the variability in stated and actual sizes. What I think is low is when people go to the physical store, have the item in hand, talk with owner/clerk about the product to help find exactly what they are looking for, and then they leave and buy it online because its a couple $ cheaper

The only nigger here is you. If your daddy didn't beat your ass and taught you not to talk to strangers in the parking lot and wave your gun around I will. I'm not gonna take your shit. You must like prison i don't so continue to do as you do with your attitude. Go get away with it. Society will agree with me that you're a creep and a faggot for your small talk.

Don't be a faggot i don't beat your ass.

Reminds me the time I was pulling out money from my local bank ATM. Soon as I got done, turned around, this bald homeless dude's asking me for money so he can hitch a ride on a bus. It felt real sketchy throughout the whole time, but thankfully that's about as far as it went. no weapons drawn, didn't have to pull my handgun that I EDC with outside of home.

You get away with shooting your gun pussy. Your daddy didn't teach you not to be a faggot who talks to stragers I will show you how straight it is to fuck with the wrong one. I'm not gonna pull back my punches here.

>going to Walmart, expecting Macy’s service

Walmart is one of those places with extremely overpaid staff so they get complacent and do a shit job of everything. It doesn't help that the customers are gross and fat, walking slowly just to impede your shopping trip.
I cheer everytime another brick and mortar store goes out of business. I order everything online. For food and perishables I use Kroger's shopping service where some dumb cunt picks up my items and has it ready for me when I come to pick it up. Once my area gets delivery for this service life will be even better. You have to vote with you dollar, don't support places like walmart and mom&pop places, it's your civic duty to so. The fact you keep coming back to walmart shows you are kind of a shitty person. Stop feeding these shitty people. The sooner you stop going there the sooner they go the way of k-mart.

Yet another thing ruined by, you guessed it...

Niggers

best line of defense, don't get yourself into a confrontation to begin with, regardless of ego, or a 3rd party event involving autistic shouting and possibly flying haymakers.

Ok, have fun shouting words at people like a tough guy and press the luck hoping the guy won't fire back.

Man I dindu nuffins! Security cameras are racist! I’m calling Al Sharptons yo!

Not thatfag, but no you don't. I revert my dark souls 3 back to it's day 1 state everytime I play PVP. It only goes to patch it if you're connected to the internet when you first install it.

>Delete

You know al sharpton is a racist for when he only ever shows up to talk about civil problems whenever it involves a black guy, or cops, or both.

I meant PVE*

Why are you responding to an obvious troll? Why else would they make Day 1 editions in the first place? The tend to come out well past the first print. They do it for this very reason.

If you have a digital copy though you're fucked. You can't install it offline, at least not on PS4.

shocking

Oh God, I miss threads like these. The hate, the bile, it’s almost like the old Yea Forums I once knew was back.

Troll or not, the OP should just chill out a bit. What kind of customer services did he expect from Walmart? Reinforced glass on countertops was a dead give away that these sort of stores are best kept away from, unless you’re desperate to buy essentials. But, on the flip side, you do get arseholes working behind the counter that don’t want to be there, and the quicker they fuck you off out of their sight, the better. But, don’t fucking assume that everyone working behind the counter is an arsehole. Some of them might go out of their way to help you, if you can be courteous to them. I shop at a local co-op, and I’m always decent to the people working there, including this old girl who’s worked there for a few years. One day a couple of years back, I was out running, and I passed the co-op and the old girl as she was turning up for her shift. Long story short, I lost my house keys, and I had to backtrack my route before I finally found them in my co-op. Turns out that the old girl saw my keys dropped out of my pocket and picked them up. She tried to call me to say that I’ve dropped them, but I didn’t her because of my ear phones. If I was a horrible bastard to her, I would never have gotten those keys back.

I agree it wasn't the best response but given the employee had no clue what he was asking for, and since he couldn't be bothered to explain what he was asking for, this is the response most people are going to get because most employees will assume if its something they never heard of, a non-specialty store like Walmart isn't going to have it. My complaint with the guy is he immediately jumped to insults. The employees saying " I don't know what that is" wasn't the conversation ender, its just that Mr Customer Service was so intent on "the computer says its in stock, get it for me" that he ignored the fact that the employee had no starting point. By his own description the guy didn't give any identification other than recurve. Recurve is specific type of traditional or archaic bow. Recurves and longbows are getting more popular now but even if the guy was from a mom & pop sports store he may only have sold/encountered the modern pulley system compound. As recent as a decade ago you couldn't even find a longbow in any more mainstream outlet except for Cabellas

It's not just that, it's that you have to download the digital copy again every time you re-install it, and they are almost always patched at least past the original version at that point.

So even though you can (you actually can) install digital copies offline on PS4 and steam, it doesn't matter cause there's only one place to get them and if the game has been out for awhile, each time you download it it's pre-patched for all but maybe the last one or 2.

Ok but most people have friends and want to play online. I mean maybe OPs son is a loser and doesn’t have anyone to play with, idk. Also why do you play dark souls 3 on day one I’m curious

> you ain't gonna do shit. 1st lesson learned in the street

Niggers and society have my back. On the contrary continue to be a coward and a retard. Just avoid me. You're that fucking stupid to avoid the wrong person you will deal with the consequences soon enough. I just got out of jail to be fighting I'm trying to keep my job my head down and my safety.

They kept patching it for pvp, nerfing the living hell out of every good weapon. Now that pvp is long dead and was a disaster to begin with, they need to release a day 1 edition for everyone else. Nobody has truly ever played dks3 unless it's the original.

I don't even think about you, why would I jeopardize any of that, especially when I don't even know you?

I rarely shop walmart because, except for some items such as external HD for some reason, sale prices at other stores are usually cheaper. While I agree walmart seems to be the winner in overall customer poundage I've never had any problem when asking staff a question. My eyesight is poor in standard fluorescent lighting so I've often asked employees to read things on packaging. I've yet to find anyone who wasn't polite and helpful. Personally I think Kroger brands are nasty and why would you want somebody else picking out your produce? Do you think some teen is going to select a piece of fruit that is at the perfect stage of ripeness or bother to check the expiration dates on items. If anything I wouldn't be surprised if store's had an unwritten policy to pass off all the "almost expired" food to the online shoppers.

walmart wagecuck here.

>Don't expect much help past 10pm. Less staff during nights. Not sure about high traffic stores
>Ask for an asistant or store manager if employees are dicking around and not helping
>Not all walmarts are the same. Just because one has something you've always bought, doesn't mean other stores will
>We don't know where every fucking item in the store is. Don't ask where non-grocery items are when you're in the general merchandise side of the store and vise versa

But most importantly, download the walmart app and set it to your local walmart. It's the least you can do so you can save us the fucking trouble of looking for an obscure item that probably no one at the store has heard of

Oh and one more thing, put back any item you grabbed back where it belongs you fucking vermin. The amount of out of area items is just... I hope you all fucking die

Me: “Excuse me, I need some help finding something.”

Nigger: “What? Don’t look at me like that! I ain’t your bitch. Lower your voice.” (chicken-neck finger-snap if female) Dumb “you’re racist stare”

White trash: Pretends not to hear you. You repeat the question. “Yeah, I HEARD you.” Talks on walky ignoring you as they walk and point to maybe where the item is. Mutters, “Fuck this.”

Hispanic: “I’m on my break.” Or sleeping in an isle.

Your father was an idiot. Don't talk to me in the street at night or at work and don't carry a gun pussy.

sounds like you just had bad luck with walmart associates. if you found me i woulda told you that bows are in the sporting goods department, or you could have figured that out yourself you dumbfuck

reminds me of the ketchup bottle I found in the bread isle.

I get groceries on a weekly basis so it's never been an issue with expiration. If the fresh food is shitty enough I complain and they will give coupons or some shit. It rarely happens and is more than worth it for saving the time.We're getting a whole foods in my area soon so I will probably be switching to that once it's finished.

Your son is clearly yours. He's got your IQ

I get a sexual thrill out of moving items around the store. Houseware in clothing, toiletries in electronics, hardware in cleaning supplies. I once put underwear in electronics. Like a cocaine high.

You know they're right?

Who the fuck goes to wally world to talk to employees? Isn't it trash? It's fucking right there I memorized the entire store. It's the same everywhere and it's easier than surfing the internet.

Yes IRL there's still a pretty good chance that a person you're nice to will still screw you. But a person you're a jerk to will always screw you so why not be generally polite to people even for the off chance that the 20% who might reciprocate might do so?

Move to any fresh side department. It's only really bad during Nov/Dec. RIP every other department during anything seasonal.

Especially when he could've found a better deal online and happened to be a better quality product than a Walmart special.
Or you know, what if all this is just high tier quality bait, and we're just shitposting away?

Which is what I do anyway to anyone I run into, either at work, or school, everywhere. Results are usually good and things remain civil.

Local main street Mom & pops started dying in the 80's with the introduction of the big box department stores like walmart and the continued drag of the megamalls. 80s is when a lot of small towns started to close off traffic from store districts to install cobblestones and street lamps to draw people away from malls. 90s was the start of the kill stroke with the expansion of online shopping. Post oughts is now experiencing the collapse of both the mall and the department store. I would say someone who really experienced the mom & pop store culture as part of their usual shopping experience and not the occasional visit to a main street "ye olde boutique" would more likely be in their 40-50s

My life in a nutshell. Far worse though is when they help themselves to tools, damage it by using it for an inappropriate task, and you actually have the tool specially designed for that task if they had only asked before hand.

you know that could be semi true for op especially if he's out in the boonies. As far as I remember (33) most of those places were gone very quickly because Walmarts were rolling in and everybody went there. So like I said he didn't grow up not going to Walmart. He's just having a nostalgia trip and hating what he helped make. I live in a smaller us town and we have a ton of local businesses. We have a locally owned used game shop that thrives right across the street from GameStop and Walmart. OP probably got fired from Walmart so he's just pissy.

exactly. so OP is a fraud if he's in his 40-50s calling a
>like 60yr old
old as fuck.

reminds me of this faggot kid borrowing my Starret caliper, without asking of course. At the same time, looked all over the shop for it, finally found it where it wasn't supposed to be, all fucked up because whoever "borrowed" it dropped it on the floor, smack dab on hard cement. shattered the inner gear workings. was pissed off enough to find out who done it so i can stab him with it and say "keep it."

When you walk into a chain store and Mexican music is playing you know two things immediately 1) the place will be trashed 2) its going to be closed within a couple years. I lived in Chicago for some time and you could literally use the muzak to accurately predict the trail of collapse as k-marts went under 1 by 1

The first Wal Mart didn't even open until 1987, retard. They didn't start popping up like flies until the mid 90's.

ITT Boomer bitching about Walmart to neckbeards instead of using Amazon Prime

Also, gtfo kid. Online shopping wasn't a thing in the 90's: almost nobody did it and no even semi-intelligent person was stupid enough to put their credit card online back then.

It wasn't until the mid 2000's that credit card companies started assuring people that it's safe, that the policy arose that if it's not an authorized purchase, you won't be liable for it. This is when Amazon and online shopping took off.

Which means you must be pretty young to not know that.

>that the policy arose that if it's not an authorized purchase, you won't be liable for it.
This. People used to steal people's credit cards and drive them straight into bankruptcy. At the time the banks/credit card companies just told everyone it's their responsible to protect their card card information. That didn't change until about 2004/2005.

There even used to be television PSA-like announcements telling people never to use their credit card online, often depicting a family all ragged and homeless and some kid going on about how he though he was winning millions at an online gambling site or thought he was purchasing some rare autographed baseball (lmao, that was one of them) and then the father yelling at the kid to come eat their dead rat.

I'm not kidding. They ran these commercials all the way into the early 2000's, and I'm pretty sure it's the credit card companies that paid for them. Like the RIAA and MPAA, only less so over time, they were never onboard with the information age.

The first walmart opened in 1962. Walmart expanded with stores outside of Arkansas in 1968. First walmart supercenter was 1988. By that time Walmart already has the reputation of stomping local stores by undercutting prices and being big enough to swallow the price loss until the other store went under. Supercenters were designed to do the same to grocery stores.


Don't you just hate it when you spout inaccuracies, call people names, and get face planted with facts?

bahaha at 39 seconds, the guy picks up a plunger to go marauding with lol

>First walmart supercenter was 1988
That's walmart you fucking retard. It wasn't a department store until then. That's what the fuck a SUPERCENTER was.

And technically microsoft was formed in 1975, therefore windows and the digital revolution began in 1975.

We have ourselves a genius here.

clearly the problem is not the brick and mortar its the fucking big ass corporation that doenst give a flying fuck about you and the employee there that never finished highschool nad that makes 4.25/h gives even less a fuck about you and just want the day to be over to grab a bud and drink himself to sleep.

>The mom and pop show never woulda treated you like that.
Oh, Rly? Well I turned 15 in 1994, and everything within 50 miles of me in every direction was mom & pop (a metaphor, of course, for the person usually working there is also the owner)

I recall:

1: Being refused service for having long hair (I'm a guy, ofc)

2: Being grabbed by my arm and dragged out of the store as a grade schooler for simply picking something up and looking at it

3: They almost never fucking opened when they were supposed too, and were ALWAYS closed before they were supposed to be, especially the fucking paradise video store, fucking people over for that late fee.

4) I remember this was the "buyer beware" era. There was no such thing as a return policy. If something went wrong with something you bought, take it up with the manufacturer for warranty. If it turns out you didn't want or need it, then you shouldn't have bought it in the first place. NEXT!

I could go on and on, but fuck off. Those stores died for a reason. Like I said, nobody drove 20-30-40 fucking minutes, or even just 5, to save a few dollars. The only people that weren't sick of those places were the people profiting from them, and blindly ignorant rednecks.

Ahh, the good ole days, when stores could have a "No pets and NO CHILDREN!" policy.

I don’t agree with everything you said but the closing time thing is completely true. If you have your business hours posted online or outside your store you don’t just get to close early every other day. Shit is infuriating. Or “closed for lunch”. Fucking really? You’re just gonna close for an hour in the middle of the day when people are trying to get shit done?

Yeah and people just left their kids in the car and it was (and is) no big fucking deal. Just crack the damn window. I saw some shit a few years ago that was so god damn pathetic. A kid, I think 5 or 6, was "rescued" by a "heroic" police officer after a "heroic" citizen called 911 after spotting a "small child alone in a hot car" and then the mother was arrested and everyone was fucking cheering.

Excuse me, if your fucking grade schooler especially doesn't know how to unlock and open a fucking door, then maybe the world is better off if they do die of a heat stroke.

There was even a picture of the police officer carrying the child away from the car, I shit you not, and even the kid looked like "wtf?!?!"

americans are fucking intrusive retards. makes me shameful to be american.
Similar story to that where people are shaming this guy because he left his dog "in a hot car", even though all the windows were rolled half way down.

1994 would be considered the 90s. And I said the start of the kill stroke. 90s was when online shopping became more available to mainstream, This is when the tech was there to really take off. But "online" shopping was possible in the late 80s through usenet and proto-ebay like sites. It was PTP and involved sending stuff COD. I bought a MacII in 1989 that way.

00s kicked online shopping into high gear and 10's made an online presence a requirement. If the things maintain course the 20s may be the end of the killstroke as the final big box stores like walmart switch to mainly being another online warehouse company like amazon. I think grocery stores will remain for at least a decade or 2 after that

>90s was when online shopping became more available to mainstream,
*facepalm*

There was no online shopping in the 90's. Amazon didn't even open until I think 1998 or so, and it was taboo as fuck. Everything I said about credit card companies running campaigns to inform people to NOT use their credit cards online is true. The 'you are not liable for unauthorized purchases' policy didn't begin until the mid 2000's.

I remember this all too well, because I was a young adult in the late 90's and early 2000's and didn't have a credit card, and I so desperately wanted to buy some rare CD imports from amazon, but my father wouldn't even consider putting his CC info on amazon, citing those damn commercials and news stories.

> the sooner amazon taxes over the better
So they can run a monopoly and charge whatever the fuck they want for their shipping? And then force you to pay a subscription service for cheaper shipping? A service that mind you has incurred 40% in cost in 5 years
A company that uses what is basically slave labor, treating their employees like robots and then when the robots are available 150,000 jobs would be lost. Right cool, go fuck yourself

Those are all separate issues.

See:
There is your solution to those issues. Fuck ISM's, we need an economic system that is fair and takes technology, needs and greed into account.

Dude, it's fucking wal-mart. It's a store that utter retards, literal fucking retards in the actual system, can work to make a decent wage to survive. If you want a fucking retarded recurve bow, then go to a fucking hunting shop. I worked lawn and garden at wal-mart, and while I was a neuroscience major, people were asking me some insane botany questions. We're a fucking wal-mart, we don't have a god damn "every 12-year blooming Puya or that fucking stinky rotten meat smelly plant. We sell hibiscus tropical younglings, and temperate bushes and trees...
If you ask for a re-curve bow... don't expect a decent reply. I've actually watched this happen. I made 11 an hour, don't expect an expert at WAL-MART.

my sister's a pharmacy tech and has worked there for nearly a decade at that position, she can barely afford a one bedroom apartment and our father keeps needing to chip in to help her pay for shit like car insurance (she drives an old pontiac grand prix) and heat.

Your sister isn't a retard. I said it's a job a retard can afford to live a "decent wage." Retards don't need a wage regular people need.

Walmart is a fucking department store. You know, a store that sells a variety of stuff. The supercenter just made it a department store and a grocery store. What the hell do you think walmart was in the 20 years before they became supercenters?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart
In the 1980s, Walmart continued to grow rapidly, and by the company's 25th anniversary in 1987, there were 1,198 stores with sales of $15.9 billion and 200,000 associates

While it was the third-largest retailer in the United States, Walmart was more profitable than rivals Kmart and Sears by the late 1980s. By 1990, it became the largest U.S. retailer by revenue.

Maybe read the reference? Amazon was commercially viable in 1995 as online bookstore.

Dude, shut the fuck up, I grew up in the 80's. Nobody, nobody had ever fucking heard of a wal-mart! And guess what? You'll find *ZERO* cultural references to it from that era.


Zero.

Go find me one.

That shit didn't even START taking off until the mid to late 90's. The area I'm currently in didn't get it's first wal-mart until 2002.

Fuck off, kid.

Yeah, and I'm sure millions of people shopped there. I was around back then, kid. I remember everything.

Mainstream internet began with napster. Period.

Before that, only complete nerds even knew what the internet was. "Email" was once mentioned in a seinfeld episode, and people were so damn puzzled they had to include it in another episode the next series where they explained it.

Once the internet exploded, so too did "hackers" and CC thieves and scammers. Campaigns WERE IN FACT RUN to tell people to never put their CC info online, those went on INTO the early 2000's.

Where are you from in the world? Isn't it past your bedtime?

And of course even by late 90's, people were so god damn computer illiterate that most Americans actually believed that Y2k was going to cause planes to fly out of the sky and nuclear missiles to begin launching themselves.

Seriously. Kid, you're getting a valuable history lesson. Take it.

If its not in my realm of personal experience it can't be true. Calls other people kid.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart
Prior to the summer of 1990, Walmart had no
presence on the West Coast or in the Northeast (except for a single Sam's Club in New Jersey which opened in November 1989), but in July and October that year, it opened its first stores in California and Pennsylvania, respectively. By the mid-1990s, it was far and away the most powerful retailer in the U.S. and expanded into Mexico in 1991 and Canada in 1994.[29] Walmart stores opened throughout the rest of the U.S., with Vermont being the last state to get a store in 1995.

First Walmart in my area was 1985

Can't stand up to facts. Resorts to calling kid someone old enough to be his dad. Couldn't get a credit card in 2000. By 2000 I was an actual grownup with a wife and kids.

Nobody fucking knows but you and a handful of other nerds. Was never in the news; just people freaking out and raiding stores for supplies, etc.

You just said it!!!!


By the mid 19-fucking-90's!!!!

They were an obscure from place in a handful of fucking states before then!

IT'S PAST YOUR BEDTIME!

This is like arguing whether seinfeld is an 80's show or a 90's show because it technically aired in 1989!

Calm down dude. Even south park agrees with you. Go watch their wal mart episode. They talk to the guy who oversaw the expansion, that began in 1987.

>Or how about assholes that will only take certain bills and won't take coins.
Wageslave here, there's a reason for this. We get fuckers all the time that come in after just cashing their check and try to change out their shit by buying a five dollar item with a hundred dollar bill. We're only allowed to have a certain amount in the register at a time to discourage robbery. When people pull that shit it wipes out all the cash in our register and now I have to call for a manager to change my drawer out so the next ten people in line can do the exact same shit. I typically will ask people that do this if they can pay with smaller bills so it doesn't inconvenience everyone else. As for the no change thing, that's just to prevent homeless people walking in and dropping a bag of change on the counter and paying for their cigarettes with pennies. The solution to both of these problems is surprisingly simple. Just get with the times and use a debit card with a bank account, use prepaid cards if you're terrified of (((banks))) and quit holding up lines everywhere because you just have to dig that lone penny out of your wallet/purse/ass.

Oh and this is actually the scene too, he makes your same exact case.

They talk to him at a bar and he's all drunk and shaky and acting like he's in remorse crisis, and the kids are wondering where the stores come from. To paraphrase what he said..

>It all started out small, until 1987 when we decided to expand, and then it just grew and grew out of control!

Is this seriously being argued? If walmarts were around before the 1990's, then it wouldn't have been the 1990's that main street was driven out of business.

/thread.

COBOL. COBOL programmers made bank because most businesses were still using a lot of in-house programs. Fortran people did OK but that was more for engineering and it was mainly the business people tat were freaking. I wasn't a programmer by trade but I learned Fortran in 1983 using punch cards. Call me a kid some more while you speak from authority about your teenage years.

Really that's your aha gotcha? The fact that some states had walmart imposed on them later than others? see over 1000 stores. Rivals K-mart and sears in national sales but you consider it some obscure ass backwater store because its not in California. Given the time difference I'm guessing Cali fag. Should have known. California 20 something .

>Knows one questions about the past that he himself brought up

>uses it to assert himself as expert on the past

Welcome to Yea Forums

Nope, Michigan. We got our first walmart in the early 90's, didn't take off until a few years later because of all the frequent protests in the parking lot and all the controversy surrounding it.

Yeah and 90% of those 1,000 stores were probably in 10 states. I have 5 walmarts within 20 minute driving distance of me, although one is closing soon.

Only 5?!?!?! I have... 9 within about that distance.

Still not as bad as pharmacies though. Fucking everyone in this country is on drugs ffs. There's a rite aid or a walgreens on nearly every single fucking corner.

It's because they are grocery stores too. That's what walmart essentially is now. In areas where they don't have stiff competition from actual grocery stores (which is almost nowhere), they're going to be just fine for the future.

Yes /b where you have someone born in 2002 iarguing about the conditions marines endured on Iwa Jima with someone who stormed the ridge because what the marine said doesn't match what they saw in a Clint Eastwood movie

So you kill your argument there. The only reason people would be protesting your walmart in early 90s is because its already well known enough to have the reputation for undercutting and destroying local businesses. The reputation it gained as it grew and expanded in the 80s.

>The reputation it gained as it grew and expanded in the 80s.
No, that was my argument. That starting in the mid to late 1980's, they went on an expansion campaign.

You just made my argument for me. Who gives a fuck if they were formed in 1962. Until the 1990's, they were obscure as fuck to most Americans.

1991 in 34 states
c46b2bcc0db5865f5a76-91c2ff8eba65983a1c33d367b8503d02.r78.cf2.rackcdn.com/9a/a7/c94a736147a4bb4417421130c418/1991-annual-report-for-walmart-stores-inc_130199433717905777.pdf

Yes, exactly my argument.

>seinfeld was a 90's show even though it began in the 1980's
>walmart was a 90's thing even though it began (the expansion!) in the 1980's

So good, we finally agree.

Exactly. Walmart employee here, also former MI resident. Michigan hung onto K-mart with clawed hands. That and Meijer's were the go-to for everyone in the 80s and early 90s. Hell, I only found a Walmart there when I was 17 and I took a wrong turn in Troy trying to find a friend's house. Even then, I only knew of that one, which was one of the smaller ones, and the Super Center in Sterling Heights. It wasn't until my fiancee and I moved back to her home town in PA, that I've seen more fucking Walmarts than I care to.

I know OP isn't in this thread anymore, but this is a bit of advice for everyone to expand on the user who mentioned the Walmart App. If you use a computer/browser on your phone to look up items on Walmart, they always tell you they are in stock at the closest store to you. It's Walmart's way of getting your ass into the store to buy more items than you need to. The App gives a location, tells you if we actually do have it, and you can also use it to check to see if it's cheaper online than in-store.

Once again, you make my argument for it. 1991 is in the 1990's, and yet they were only in 34 out of 50 states?

Troll detected.

Then why the fuck are you saying that to him?

You just made MY argument that walmart was unknown to people in michigan (and 16 other states) until the 1990's.

Nope, OP is still here, right here.

Then walmart employees need to start apologizing for their companies mistakes. Afterall, they represent it. They're on the payroll. It's their job.

See 34 states aren't obscure to most americans. Also why the attempt at the sidetrack by bringing up 1962? !962 was only pointed out to be the first walmart because the claim was made that the very first walmart was opened until 1987 which is blatantly wrong

And just because people knew how Walmart drove out businesses and fought to keep them out of those 17 states is why I agreed with him. You had one in your area, most of Michigan didn't get them until later. Michigan has a total of 19 of them, with 6 basically in a row. It still doesn't disprove his point that other states had them well before the 90s and maybe in his area, they had 20 for all we know.

Either way, the main point here instead of arguing over what year they rolled into each state, is Walmart is hell on everyone, no matter if they are a customer or an employee.

post more of this boy

No.

Oh fuck you. You think any employee gives two fucks about your pissy little ass? No. You are another fuckwit who thinks he's better than everyone else. We see hundreds of people like you a day. Half of the time, you can't even find the item when it's right in front of your damn face.

As for your "sporting goods" story. I call complete bullshit. No associate would ever do a handwritten receipt. You know why? Their ass would be canned as soon as you handed it over to the person on the door. As for assuming the security tag would be deactivated because it was behind glass, that's on you. If it's behind glass, 99% of the time, it's got an active tag on it, so people that want to smash and grab, or run off with an item will get pinged at the door.

>ass would be canned

>as if walmart fires anyone

I've seen walmart employees cussing and talking all woke and shit, only to walk up to another employee and as for a manager, only to have them walk around for a minute and then point at the same group I was referring to.

ask for*

A store chain doesn't have to be in every state to be a major chain

Kroger currently in 35 states
thekrogerco.com/newsroom/state-facts/
Meijer is currently in 6 states
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meijer
Safeway is currently in 18 states
Marshalls is currently in 42 states
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshalls

Parroting back by statement repeatedly doesn't add to your credibility. 34 states is a lot of states as far as retail goes.

I've seen it as well. Managers are in the same boat lower associates are. We're all fucked by Home Office daily. Add that to the shit customers do, and you got a recipe for lack of enthusiasm to do what the CBLs we're forced to take tell us, "Keep that shit off the floor, so the customers don't have to hear it." I hate seeing what you referred to when it happens at my store. That and lazy associates who only come to work to shoot the shit with their buddies. I'm there to do my job, hopefully try to make a few customers' day a bit better than what it was, then go home to take care of my family.

Don't forget that youtube video of that black guy who was being followed around by some old woman employee that was looking at him absolutely psychotic, and he's all like "She won't get off me, say's she thought she saw me try to steal something!", nothing ever happened to her, even though she looked like Sarah fucking Goldfarb from Requiem For A Dream.

Then there was that employee vs customer fist fight at the service desk, nothing happened to them either.

Confirmed, walmart doesn't fire people. I think they get 3 strikes, and can do shit to clear their record, but nobody wants those shit jobs anyway, so they take whatever they can get.

Dude, fuck reality!
I'm gonna go download a couch into my brain right now, nigga!

Your town should be nuked. I've never had such issues.

>>Walmart is hell on everyone, no matter if
>> they are a customer or an employee
Can agree with that.
Had an aunt who worked at walmart and each shift started with a ra ra go walmart pep squad segment. Very creepy but she said some employees liked it.

LoL

How did she not win awards for her performance ffs

Bye all. I guess Michigan gets the last word. Have to go yell at a teenager. You think people glued to phones would know how to use them. Its been pointless but that's /b

I had my kid in the car at NIGHT. It was about 76 degrees and some black chick called the cops. At fucking night. For literally a 20min run.

It's like these people think cars get hot via magic.

Not that user, but I was buying shit in the 90s all the time. Your dad was just paranoid.

Because the guy used CGI for them shooting up. That's it. The movie got denied for screenings at film festivals and everything. It only took off cause of word of mouth on the internet.

Well fuck that other guy I guess.

No, fuck you, buddy!

I'm not your buddy, guy!

Not sure what is going on but this guy is correct. They do represent the company, good or bad.


People aren't fired enough these days.

I used to work Cap 2 so doing go backs/zoning is ez moni

how the fuck is that my or the governments fault? blame mcdonalds nigga
oh right, that would get you fired

bro, they are looking for every reason to fire these old fucks that hang onto the place for LITERALLY dear life. They just canned an old bitch at my work cause she was taking too long of breaks, probably because shes old as fuck and exhausted. they would rather get a new hire and pay them 50% less than old mcbones, who might have known their way around, but also talks too much
