...I head in to wallyworld early one morn....figured id beat the crowd n see what they might have to offer in the sporting goods section...they had more ammo then usual..usual being almost none...I spy a lone box of .223 locked up....I tell the hard charging clerk I want the box....she unlocks the door and gets the box and tells me you can only have up to 5 boxes, no more...I double check, no more .223...so I ask her if they have anymore..."no"...so I ask her well then why did tell me I can only have 5 boxes if you only have 1 box?..."you can only have 5 boxes"....but you only have one box?....at that point she was looking a bit disgruntled so I paid and fled... :wink: :madd:...I never fail to have adventure when I dare travel the hallowed halls of wallyworld.
Most of those people arent any smarter then the tree that was used to mill paper from for their name tag. :nono:
Lady at Walmart, shopping for a fishing rod/reel combo:
"what's the difference between these two"
Walmart clerk: "That one is sliver and that one is black"
:rolleye: :doh2:
I won't shop in Walmart but I will admit that the place is a great source of entertainment for anyone who is bored. :shrug:
Gunz,
I had the same exact thing happen just a month ago, but with 22's.
Maybe I should try and get a job at Wal Mart then they will close next........ :shrug: :laf: :laf:

Gunz,

I hear people r hoarding .22 ammo and creating a shortage ?
Nastyman, the clerks at Wallyworld aren't the only ones to make errors that are nearly beyond belief. There used to be a sporting goods store in Lexington, Ky. , and I think it was named "Jumbo Sports", pretty good sized building and well stocked with hunting and fishing stuff. A friend of mine was in there shopping for some Winchester 22 high velocity, the SuperX type with a little more zip and a good performing ammo for squirrel hunting. They had a super low price going at the time, something like $1.15 per box of 100. He liked the ammo so much that he told the clerk he wanted a whole brick of them. They had plenty, so there was no problem there, and he handed my buddy the brick of shells. He had a couple more items, and he went to the front of the store to check out. When the clerk rang his purchases up, she charged him $1.15 for the whole brick of shells. My friend kind of questioned that, but she assured him it was right. So he called my soninlaw, a bonafide gun nut, and he rounded up all the buddies he could and they all went over and bought a brick or two of the ammo. Every purchase was rung up and all sales were completed. And you wonder why these companies go broke? That has been about 20 years ago and there is a Gold's gym in that building now. Poor old Jumbo Sports is lost in limbo now, I guess. :laf: :eyebrownod: :nono:
I kinda/sorta find that story unbelievable, not that they did it mind you, more the fact that they did do it. I can honestly say I have never taken another persons money or goods from him/her through an employee's or technical error. My name is worth to much to me maybe but I'll not have anyone call me a cheat or thief[thats what it is when you knowingly screw someone] for a few bucks. I'm willing to bet there are more than a few people missing the sports store now. Watch out if I'm dealing with the owner though. :innocentwhistle:
AHHHHHHHHHHH wallyworld memories......couple years ago I axed the guy behind the counter for a box of .270 shells cuz everyone knows the .270 is the best deer cartridge ever, period.... :innocentwhistle:....I get home n check em out...guy gave me a box of 30-06....well i didnt own one of them so i bring em back....guy says we dont take ammo back...i politeley explained his mistake.....no...i say ok then i want to see your manager...here comes the manager....splained the sit rep to him...same thing...we dont accept ammo back...he told me to try and send it to the manufacturer and swap....so im looking at the guy and right behind him on the wall is a sign that says they wont accept ammo returns...AFTER 10 DAYS!!...i gently point this out to them....they hem and haw and finally swap boxes with me...this being a nearly 1 hour event....lesson learned though...i CHECK every box of ammo now :yoyo:...i also learned age does bring wisdom because even though i felt the urge to grab him by the throat and beat his head with the ammo box i didnt :biggrin: :biggrin: :wink: :eyebrow:

My friend double checked with the sales clerk, and double checked with the check out person, and they all confirmed it was a valid deal. I don't see that he cheated anybody, nor did his friends cheat anybody. They also double checked with the sales clerk and the check out person. If you went onto a used car lot, which are famous for charging $5,000 for a car they "Stole" on a trade in for $1,000, and they had a truck that should be bringing $10,000 marked down to $4,000, would you buy it if it seemed to be in good shape. If you would, and most people would, do you think they are cheating someone? I don't. For every time those stores make a mistake against themselves, they make 4 or 5 against the customer.

If a person in the know[at all] has been buying an item for a dollar for some time and then all of a sudden just one place in the world is selling 10 of those items for a dollar, I'd have to say that he/she who is buying there "knows" it is wrong and all I'm saying is "I" won't live that way.

No as I have never in my life dealt with a used car lot and don't understand why anyone would go to a place that has the notoriety of "stealing" things. If you don't put yourself in the vicinity of an "honest" crook he/she cannot take you.

If the business dealing is in the open and mark ups are there it is up to the consumer to be alert. If you think you can out deal a crook go for it but expect to get your fingers burnt somewhere along the line[they do].

Mistakes can be made and I'll be the first to admit that but I won't knowingly cheat a man because he couldn't find competent staff. I've ate my mistakes and learned from them, then foraged ahead. You make it sound like it is alright to close down a perfectly good store for no other reason than they could cheat a couple of aforementioned incompetent staff. I won't even cheat Walmart but would love to see them close there doors. So I guess what I'm trying to say is you and yours live life anyway you see fit and I'll do the same. I'm reasonably sure which group of us are going to be allowed on/in many places in this world.

BUT, I will say in defense of wallyworld...I always get sporting stuff I need there cheaper then other stores such as dicks sporting goods....the level of customer service is about the same....now I hear people all the time say support your local small stores..blah, blah, the corporate giants, etc etc...I work 2 jobs and I go where my dollar does the most good...in my opinion and my area...the local gunshops are just as bad with customer service and much more predatory in their business dealings...and way higher in prices...in fact im sure some of them buy goods from the big stores and mark them up and re-sell them at a higher price all the while bad mouthing the big stores...so I figure at least if Im getting an attitude, and poor customer service at wallyworld, at least Im paying less for it :yoyo: :yoyo:

Hmmmmmmm, I don't recall saying that I was a participant in the Jumbo Sports incident; I just reported a story that I knew about to indicate how inept some of these people are. Personally, if I had that same exact thing happen to me, I'd refuse to buy the shells based on some personal religious convictions, and I'd get one of those long extension poles they use to put up the special of the day, and warn all the public that they are about to have the opportunity to "Cheat" a corporate giant on an unbelievable deal on ammo, and then I'd go store to store and ferret out any potential similar deals. Might even recruit a bunch of volunteers to help police the entire state. If we were successful, we could then spread out to all over the USA and just save everyone from shafting some unsuspecting store owner or firm. Then on to save the rest of the world! :innocentwhistle: :biggrin:
I went to the drive up window at a local bank once, cashed a check (they put the money in an envelope) and pulled away from the window. I stopped in the parking lot to transfer the money in the envelope to my pocket and found that the bank teller gave me exactly $100 too much.
So I circled the building, got back in line, and told the teller she paid me too much. I thought she was going to pass out! She thanked me many times and said she would double check her drawer at shift change. I gave her the $100 and told her to just give it back to me if I was wrong the next time I came through. (I wasn't wrong). The bank holds the tellers responsible for over/short cash positions.
At one time, I audited banks. So I know what would have happened to the young lady. It was the right thing to do and I felt good doing it. She always has a smile when she sees me now.

Your posts say that you condone these practices to me :readthis:. Maybe, just maybe that is why our countries are in the mess they are in. When people stand by and watch something being done that is wrong and do or say nothing against it the next step is goverment intervention. If we police ourselves then we shouldn't require a police force, lawyers or politicians getting involved to make it harder to enjoy life. You wish to make fun of it and that is your choice but like I stated earlier we will see who gets the most doors opened in which to enter and enjoy. I don't lock my doors and neither do my friends and neighbors so something is working for us.
Semp I enjoyed your story and :highclap: :congrats: on being an honorable person. I'll now relate one that kinda/sorta mirrors yours. While in Australia as a broke working for peanuts 18 year old my father sent me a cheque for $200[That I had to work off on my return]. I took it to the local bank there and the teller did the phone calls[my expense] and all the other stuff for me to cash the cheque. She then handed me the wrong amount of money[she had the exchange rate backwards] and it was in my favor by a little over a hundred dollars[Australian]. I said it was wrong and she couldn't understand so got the manager. He figured it out and cashed my cheque without any charges and opened an account at their bank for free for me. It also opened a few doors in the small town because they talk. A person will never feel bad doing the right thing.
PITW: I didn't post anything to hurt your sensibilities. I don't condone anything crooked, and you are barking up the wrong tree if you think I do. Nastygunz talked about an experience he had at Walmart. I posted about something else. I didn't do it, but I knew it happened. Should I have reported them to the government? I am not judging anybody and don't care much about being judged about something that I had nothing to do with. I simply reported what happened. You are evidently somewhat evangelical which is fine and dandy, but you can't expect everybody else to have the same attitude, especially people you don't know at all.

Remember to take the "High Road" gentleman. Always the "High Road". We will save the "Low Road" for unmentionables, so please always take the "High Road".
Sorry to bring the "High Road" up at this juncture, but as you will read in my signature, that is part of my job now. :laf:
That's real funny, Bopeye. Laugh? I thought I'd never start. If you want a real good example of the "High Road", I remember the Ky. state fast pitch softball tournament being held in Lexington, Ky. at Woodland Park field in about 1960. They had one of those Pepsi rolling concession stands set up about 100 feet behind the bleachers, up on the hill. There was a young girl working one of the service windows, and I ordered a hot dog and a medium Pepsi. The price was 45 cents total. I gave the young lady $5.00, and she handed me 55 cents in change and what I assumed to be 4 one dollar bills folded in half. When I got back down the hill on the way to my seat, I stopped to put the "4 one dollar bills" back into my wallet. In doing so, I unfolded them and saw that she had mistakenly given me back the five dollar bill that I gave her plus the four one dollar bills and 55 cents in coins. I went back up there and told her what she had done, and handed her all the change she had given me. This time she tried to give me change for a twenty. It was obvious she had become so nervous she couldn't count to five, so I took the 55 cents in change and four one dollar bills and assured her to simply trust that I was doing it right so that she wouldn't be out of balance at the end of the evening. She wasn't a blonde either (lol).
So, PITW and other interested parties, who may be wondering about what I condone, and what my attitude might be about honesty in general, study this story over and see what you think.
PITW, you can tell all your family and friends that Possumal thought you might be preparing for a life in the ministries (lol) :laf:

Just to show that I'm right there with you Al. Back in 1973 I was a mere whipper snapper. I bought an ice cream cone for 25 cents. I gave the old man 25 cents and he gave me my cone, however he gave me three scoops and it should have only been two. After eating two of the scoops I realized he had given me one too many, so I took the rest of the uneaten cone back to him. I have thought about becoming a priest ever since. I'm feeling ya. :sneer:

Yeah unless your inhaling it, thats not something you would notice right away as you reach out to take it from the Ice Cream man. :doh2: :roflmao:
Were they 3 different scoops or 1 of each or 2 of 1 and 1 of another?.....if you ate 2 scoops and in your honesty gave back the 3rd scoop youd still get the cone right?....it would be a real PIA if the 2 top scoops were the ones you rightfully purchased and the 3rd, bottom scoop was the one you had to return...ice cream can be a volatile substance to handle...I applaud your honesty though :yoyo:...so moving right along....with the Monster board gone...PM is weakening it appears...I went there for the first time in over a year and they have definitely slowed down as to members and posts...alot....the new self-proclaimed national predator board is pretty slow also....does that not make FnF the King of Forums now?....kind of like wallyworld is the King of Stores {had to keep the thread topic in there somehow}....Thus Jim Champion is the alpha forum boss now...ALL HAIL CAESAR :yoyo: :biggrin:

I once had a Sergeant on our team who was married to a Korean gal. I always wanted to ask him if he wanted me to bring him one of the coyotes I had killed, but I didn't want to embarrass him so I never brought it up. Then one day he asked me "What do you do with them coyotes you kill and skin? So I told him that I sell the hides and leave the carcass in the field. He than asked if I would bring him a hind quarter on the next one I killed, to which I said yes I would and did. A few days later he told me that I no longer needed to bring him any more coyotes. I guess they don't taste as good as dog.
In Subic Bay they called it "Barking Chicken".... :innocentwhistle:

Canine carcasses at Edmonton restaurant were coyotes
CBC News
The skinned carcasses found in the freezer of an Edmonton restaurant last week were coyotes, wildlife officials have determined.
When public health officials were first called in they weren't sure if the four canine bodies belonged to dogs, coyotes or wolves. There was public outrage that the animals may have been dogs.
John Leer, spokesman for Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, said a scientist at the department's forensics lab conducted autopsies on the carcasses Monday.
"One of the lab scientists compared different characteristics of canines to come up with that finding," he said.
"He looked at written information of wolves, dogs and coyotes and measured various bones, teeth and the positioning of teeth to determine that they are coyotes," said Leer.
The autopsies did not reveal how the animals were killed. Because they were gutted, investigators couldn't determine the sex of the animals.
Ed Greenburg, an official with Edmonton's Capital Health Region, said the investigation into the Panda Garden restaurant, where the carcasses were found, continues.
Greenburg said the fact that the animals were coyotes doesn't change anything and inspectors are still looking into the possibility that uninspected meat was served at the restaurant.
Under the Wildlife Act, it is illegal to sell meat from any wild species.
There is no law against selling and serving canine meat, including dogs, but it must be killed and gutted in front of federal inspectors.
