I went to Wal-Mart tonight (at around 11:30pm) to buy, among other things, NBA Live 09 for PS2 for my cousin.
Unfortunately, the employee that "helped" me in electronics was a lying dumbass white-trash old lady.

Me: I'd like NBA Live 09 for PS2, please.
Lying Dumbass White-Trash Old Lady: Sure, no problem.
(removes it from the locked case and hands it to me)
LDWTOL: Would you like to go ahead and pay for that here?
Me: Sure, I guess I can, but I do have other shopping to do.
LDWTOL: That's fine, I can go ahead and ring this up for you.
Me: Is it better to pay for it here in electronics than up front?
LDWTOL: Yes.
Me: Ok, then I'll go ahead and pay for it here.
LDWTOL: Ok, but I can't ring you up here in electronics until after midnight.
(then why the hell did you offer to ring it up for me? certainly you don't think I want to wait around until after midnight...)
Me: Umm, can I just pay for it up front?
LDWTOL: Sure, I'll take it up to the front register and tell the cashier to hold it for you.
Me: Great, thanks.
(I do the rest of my shopping, then go to the front register to check out)
Me: There is supposed to be a game on hold for me up here - NBA 09 for PS2.
Cashier: Umm, no I don't have any g--wait did you say NBA 09 for PS2?
Me: Yes, that's right.
Cashier: That was for you? I didn't realize. Another customer bought it.
(an assistant manager, seeing there is some sort of problem, steps in)
Assistant Manager: What's the problem?
Cashier: You know that batman dvd that was brought up here from electronics? Well, it has a PS2 game with it and I thought that both items were for the customer wanting the batman dvd, and the guy from electronics didn't tell me they were for two different customers. So, I sold them both to the customer buying the batman dvd.
AM: So they didn't intend to buy the PS2 game?
Cashier: No, it seems they didn't.
AM: That sucks for them, especially if they don't own a PS2. So, the game was supposed to be held for this customer? Well, I will have electronics bring another copy up here.
(calls back to electronics...)
AM: (to me) Bad news - that was the last copy.
(I distinctly remember seeing more than 1 copy when my copy was taken from the case)
Me: That was supposed to be my copy! It was supposed to be held for me.
Cashier and AM: I'm so sorry.
(another assistant manager steps in)
AM2: Can we get you something else?
Me: I guess I have no choice but to get a different game. I'll take the Tiger Woods 09.
AM1: Ok, no problem.
(wait for the game to be brought. in the meantime, the cashier asks me to go ahead and pay for the other stuff, since other people are in line behind me. in other words, i have to get back in line to pay for the game.) (LDWTOL comes up to the register with the other game)
Cashier: Ok, here's the other game.
LDWTOL: Didn't you hear me tell the guy that the game and the dvd were for two different customers?
(I didn't hear her say anything to anyone - I was under the impression SHE was the one taking the game to the front, since she said she would, and I heard no mention of a batman dvd when I was in electronics.)
Me: No, I didn't hear you say that.
LDWTOL: (in a serious tone) Oh, well, sorry about the mixup. If you shop after midnight next time, then I can ring you up in electronics.
Me: (counting to ten) I'll shop when it's convenient for me, thank you.
LDWTOL: (in a jolly tone) Oh, I was just kidding with you!
Me: (rolling my eyes) Right.
(I pay for the Tiger Woods game and walk to my car. Before I even get my trunk open, AM2 comes running out the door, shouting "M'am" across the parking lot)
Me: Yes?
AM2: We DO have another copy of NBA 09. Would you like to exchange what you bought?
Me: (angrily) Yes. Just let me get my bags in my car and then I'll come back in.
AM2: No problem.
(I finish, then go back into the store)
Wal-Mart Greeter: Do you have a return?
Me: Yes.
Greeter: Customer Service is closed at this hour. You'll have to come back.
(I explain the situation to her)
Greeter: Oh, ok, I guess it's fine then.
AM1: (calling to the Greeter) She's cool. I got it.
AM2: Come with me and we'll get the game you wanted from electronics. Then AM1 will do the exchange.
(back to electronics, where AM2 opens the game case)
AM2: Let's see...1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. (sarcastically) Six copies here, but apparently there aren't any in stock. Again, I'm sorry about that. LDWTOL wasn't doing her job and we'll be sure to take care of that.
Me: Ok.
(LDWTOL approaches)
LDWTOL: So, what did I do wrong?
AM2: You told us there were no more copies, but there are six copies right here at eye-level in the case. You OBVIOUSLY didn't look.
LDWTOL: (to me) Don't you remember when I got the first copy out that you and your friend said 'oh look, we got the last copy'?
Me: (counting waaaay past ten) We did NOT say that!
AM2: Let's go up to the front and get this exchanged for you.
(exchange takes place. more appologies from AM1 and AM2...)
(I leave to finally go home with the game I wanted, and the alarm goes off!)

words words, cliff notes?

12/14/2008 3:18:15 AM

lying dumbass white-trash old lady at wal-mart caused me (and some of her coworkers) a major hassle tonight. and worst of all, lied and put words in my mouth in order to blame it on me and/or the coworkers.

12/14/2008 3:19:54 AM

wahahahaha sorry, I hate walmart so i found that really funny.

sucks that shit happened to ya though, you should go in at another time and ask to talk to a lead manager

12/14/2008 3:22:31 AM

THIS IS WHY YOU DO NOT SHOP AT WAL-MART

[Edited on December 14, 2008 at 3:23 AM. Reason : SON. THAT SHIT IS METRO.]

12/14/2008 3:22:38 AM

wow, that does suck. How lazy of a bastard are you to need cliff notes fora 3 minute read.

12/14/2008 3:23:24 AM

12/14/2008 3:27:33 AM

Wal-mart employees aren't the brightest but there is no excuse for people like that.

haha, very nice finisher

12/14/2008 3:48:13 AM

one would think that after inconveniencing a customer to that extreme, that extra care would be taken to demagnetize the game before sending me out the store with it

12/14/2008 3:53:48 AM

you knew that there were several other copies when they said there were no more left. at that point in time you should have gotten the manager and said there are several other copies and LDWTOL is misinformed.

12/14/2008 4:06:52 AM

This is what you get for buying NBA Live 09 when you should be buying NBA 2k9

I would have bitched to a manager right then and there. Old lady is obviously in the wrong on many counts and this should be brought to her managers attention.

12/14/2008 1:05:00 PM

you are the idiot here for expecting good customer service at walmart

12/14/2008 1:05:59 PM

i often feel better about the state of my life after having been in a walmart.

12/14/2008 1:10:27 PM

they hire teenage emos and senile old farts, what the hell do you expect

gotta be the wal-mart in cary on kildaire... i have these kinds of experiences there in the middle of the day.

12/14/2008 1:24:02 PM

should've put all your shit up on the counter like you were gonna ring it up and then walked out

12/14/2008 1:38:06 PM

apparently her cousin

12/14/2008 1:51:38 PM

this is why you buy games at gamestop/eb games/not walmart

12/14/2008 1:53:32 PM

Gamestop is terrible. especially if you plan on getting a game around the time it is coming out

12/14/2008 1:54:38 PM

This is why I dont buy from people that keep video games and DVDs on lock down. Maybe if its a killer deal, but otherwise no. Its ridiculous you cant just pick up what you want, carry it around the store and check out in one location, especially when they already have other security measures in place. I hate being treated like a criminal.

12/14/2008 2:01:36 PM

and ironically wal-mart employees steal more than the customers

never had a problem getting a game the hour it came out at gamestop. Just walk up around 12:10AM and the end of the line is pretty close to being gone.

12/14/2008 2:36:43 PM

Yeah... plus you can always pre-order it.

12/14/2008 2:39:50 PM

They don't actually reserve copies when you pre-order games. They just order more and hope they don't sell out.

If you pre-order the game they hold it for you dipshit.

internal theft is always greater than external at any store

12/14/2008 2:42:59 PM

i have never preordered at Gamestop. Just walked up at 12:10 of any midnight release and got the game around the time it was supposed to come out with no problems

12/14/2008 2:50:19 PM

people still play ps2?

12/14/2008 2:53:28 PM

You really should have put a warning in the thread title about all the words. That sucks though, hate it when shit like this happens. At least you ended up with the game you wanted though.

12/14/2008 3:16:52 PM

^a warning in the thread title

are you serious?

Did the words offend you?
