I made my first Wal*Mart Purchase today

[Luke_Atmydik]

The charge port on my phone died so I went to the AT&T store to get a new one. The guy tells me just to go to Wal*Mart and buy a Go Phone, put in my sim card and use that until my warranty phone comes in.

I walk in and wasn't greeted, so I asked the non-greeter where the phones were. She said they were in Electronics in the back. I wander to the back and end up in kids clothes. I asked the kids clothes lady where phones were. She said they were in Electronics.

The place was dirty and under construction.

I made my last Wal*Mart purchase today.

Fuckin' hater.
There is nothing better than the $5 dvd bin at WalMart. I can spend days digging through that.

I do like their 90 day return policy. My new phone will be in before then.

Aw, fuck... That means I have to go back to Wal*Mart.

you are really SUCH a wuss smetimes.

you go in the shop (forget its name), don't worry about being 'greeted' - that's just fluff to make you want to purchase more, and wander about till you find electronics. How hard can it be? Some of us shop at least two or three times a week and we don't take compasses with us, or a first aid kit, or emergency rations and we don't even take offense.

sheesh. it can't be that hard to find and if it is, how do you run a company

I greet my customers and give them excellent customer service. And if you forgot the name of the *store*, you must not have Wal*Mart in Gloomland.

[TurdFergeson]

Eh...wally world has it's convenience factor.

The thing I hate about it is that if you just want something small, and not a massive shopping spree, it takes 10 minutes just to walk in through the gigantic parking lot. Then another 10 minutes wandering around, then checkout, then the 1 mile walk back to the car.

I have bought beer at the local mom and pop store, even though it cost more, because of the quickness of just being able to run in and out, wham , bam, thank you ma'am.

if you had as many customers as Walmart and still did then it'd be cool, I guess. ANd I didn't forget the name,silly, I was telling you not to be bitching because it was Walmart and not something a bit posher.

Our Walmart is branded as Asda, and we have greeters at the door. Completely useless job if you ask me but it IS a job and helps these people stay of the unemployment stats. Sometimes we chat with them, other times we really don't wanna be arsed with any 'have a nice shop' bunkum.

Yep, even if I go grocery shopping, I still go to the local liquor store for alcohol.

We're bigger than Wal*Mart. And I'm big in Japan. Also, are you drunk?

I saw The High Cost Of Low Prices last night and was surprised to learn that Euro-Walmart is unionized.

The one around the corner from me, they have people who load up your car for you while you pay.

There's actually a drive-through liquor store close by.

lol

[Luke_Atmydik]

Good news; Just found out there is a service center by me so I can get my new phone tomorrow, no waiting for the warranty.

Bad news; I gotta return the Go Phone to Wal*Mart tomorrow.

One hint is: don't look for phones in the kids' clothing department.

But it's OK. I guess not everybody has what it takes to shop in Wal-Mart.

The greeter woman said go to the back in Electronics. I did and ended up in kids clothes.

Sorry, I usually don't shop at Wal*Mart. They're trying to put one right by my house and it's not going over well with the people.

First-timer blues!

Electronics is the department with the big TVs on display, and the cellphone kiosk. You might also spot is as the one with the CDs and video games.

Low prices = less frills.

Havn'e you heard? He runs the most successful printing business in what is the worst recession since the great depression. Everyone brought their work in-house, yet in Luk-ass' case, he's busier than a one arm paper hanger.

I like to go to wal-mart in my best (least stained) wife beater and john deere cap, cruise the diaper and car seat isle, and pick up hotties! If the OP is so against going in wal-mart, just throw the fuckin phone in the trash and don't go back?

Psst: The ice cream aisle is also a good one, if it's a superstore.

:P

That's because you're a regular. It's like Norm from Cheers when you walk in; "PINK!"

Today was the first time I've been in this one in at least 8 years.

I've been to one in Ohio that was a Super Wal*Mart that was really nice. This one just sucks.

[shane_30]

As a connoisseur of all things wal-mart, I suggest staying far away from any wal-mart that is not a SUPER wal-mart. The UN-supers are old, out dated, un-safe, and frequented by carnies, hippy folk, white trash, and other strange characters! Be warned!
