Wally Mart

[OVERLORD]

I'm sure this will be moved, I hope it stays long enough for some folks to see.

My Wally Mart is like the bar scene from Star Wars.

So, I go there only when absolutely necessary.

What happened to me there, I guess could happen to anyone.

I pick up the large jugs of oil for my lawn equipment.

Changing oil of a piece of equipment, I finish to old jug, and grab the new jug.

Pull the cap, the seal is broken.

I smell it, it smells like latex paint, I pour some out, I don't know what it is, and there's water and debris in it.

The only thing I can guess it was a slick return.

I never thought I would have to do this, if you buy whatever oil at a Wally Mart, pull the cap, and check the seal.

I got bit.

Food for thought.

Take it back? I have the receipt, then try to explain?

Nah, learned sumthin"!

Might check the caps on edible and drinkable stuff too.

Had similar happen at an Autozone. Bought a 5qrt jug of oil. Didnt think much of it. When I went to open it it didn’t crack as usual. I stopped and checked the level. It was about 300ml off from full. I was slightly heated but I had an extra from another oil change so went with it. I always check level now in the store.

Remember what Larry the Cable Guy said all those years ago ? Wal-Mart will take anything back. He once returned dirty baby diapers and when they asked why, he said, "These diapers already have shit in them.", they apologized and he got a free bag of diapers.

I'm REAL leery about anything I get at Wal-Mart....

I don't buy consumables of any sort at Wally World except washer fluid.

But I'll buy the shit out of their tackle and ammo.

Wal-marts in areas where people are not into guns always have a great stock of 5.56.

Guy I worked with. His wifey bought a pair of nylon panty hose. Remember the EGG brand?. She pulled them out of the EGG and they was used, stained, smelled, and ripped. They was on their way to a wedding too. She was in it.

True, but I might live in the only part of the country where you can't swing a dead cat and hit a DG. They're out there but not everywhere.

They have been saying for years our town was up and coming. Then we got a Dollar General, and now I believe them.

Dollar General is Wal-Mart's Mini Me. They are everywhere, have everything, only smaller.

Not sure Dollar General signifies “up and coming”.

You just don't understand Hillbillyology.

That sucks..... I totally believe something like that would occur (and more of the same).
Look on Youtube...for police body cam videos/channels. Videos of police body cam footage arresting people for retail theft (from both customers & employees). It's interesting the stuff the police run into and the different schemes these people are doing. Most of these people literally think they're smarter than the cops/system - it's rather hilarious, because they're so stupid!!!

Just yesterday, my husband and I were working the admission table for a Sportsmen's Show (aka gun show). It's a small show in the southern end (maybe 125 tables). We were lucky to get about 215 customers show up the entire day. At some point in the morning, we got skizzled.....someone handed us a fake $100, Gave them change of $95 and we didn't notice it was fake until later. It was MOVIE PROP money..... looks too damn close to real and easily missed if you're rushing and/or have too much trust in the locals. You can buy this fake movie money on Amazon. WTF?

Lesson learned...... and now, we have money marking pens to check the bills quickly.

Be careful out there everyone!! It's a shame you can't trust anyone or anything anymore.

@Janster we used to be a high-trust society. It still exists in smaller pockets on the East Coast and all certainly outside the 95 corridor.

When we're on vacation in Emerald Isle NC, we go to a fish hut on that operates entirely on the honor system. They take your drink order while standing in line outside, you grab drinks, hats, t shirts, whatever it is that you want and as much as you like, and when you're done eating they ask what else you had and you pay. It's refreshing to say the least. In fact, that week I had the doors off the Jeep the entire time and never thought anyone would do anything to my Jeep. I wish I could say the same back home in the DPRMD.

I can say after reading this thread, it made me pull the wipers out of the package yesterday at Wal-Mart to make sure they were not used ones put back in the package and returned.

 

[Bandit’s Lair]
