Wal-Mart Health Persecution :)

Wow, you should definitely tell a manager. He is a *customer service* rep. He gets paid to check you out!

This is one reason I boycott WalMart...asside from numerous bad business practices and failing to follow all human rights laws....they also treat their employees like crap. Sadly if you have a job that treats you like crap chances are you spread that attitude to others. Def call and complain!

Now THAT is something that I would do!! LOL (I've never in my life, that I can remember, had a clerk be rude to me but I'm sure that my time is coming.)

Don't go out much do ya? Totally kidding but the clerks are very rude at places like Stop & Shop and Walmarts that are not in Maine or somewhere people are happy to have a job.

I've actually run into this a few times...thats why I shop at Aldi now, I can get my fruits and veggies in bulk instead of by the pound, which makes a cheaper shopping trip for me and happier cashiers because they dont have so many numbers to punch in! I probably would have thrown a tomato at the guy so kudos to you for staying calm!!!

OMG - this whole Walmart thing must be contagious!!!!!! Perhaps your cashier and the one I had last night are related!!!!?????



I had to hit Walmart last night - picked up some veggies and herbs that were on sale... got to the register and the guy got all huffy-puffy - aka he had to look up SKU codes because the stickers with the codes were all washed up from being water-sprayed.... I asked him if there was a problem. The guy had the BALLS to tell me "I dont have time to be looking all of these up"...

The customer behind me had the biggest gulp of air let out... he wasnt thrilled because he too, had fresh produce as well and started to put his stuff back in the cart and left the line....

...then the cashier said under his breathe "thank god"...

THATS IT... I looked at the cashier and was point blank with him "I dont know what your problem is but THIS IS YOUR JOB. By purchasing things IN YOUR STORE, this is paying YOUR PAYCHECK. If you dont want to be here, GO HOME but DONT give me grief about having to ring in items that you cant tell what they are - you owe an apology to the guy that left your line AND you owe ME an apology! If you cant tell what the food item is, ASK ME, but dont treat people like GARBAGE because you actually have to look things up"...

"How do I know youre gonna tell me the truth and not give me a bogus answer?"

The manager heard the cashier as he walked up and relieved him of ringing in my items.... the customer that left the line let the manager know the cashier was being an *kitten* and he came right over to assist.

The manager replied "Id be willing to bet she could tell you exactly what her items are" Cubanelles, Serranos, Poblanos, flat-leaf parsley, curly parsley, red bell peppers, heirloom farmer tomatoes, and haricot verts are the items I purchased!!!

The cashier stood there dumbfounded - the manager gave me a HUGE discount for my purchase for the aggravation and said "this customer is the daughter of one of my third-shift department heads, she isnt going to give you any bogus answer.... Ill take care of her purchases here and then you and I can chat."


They might have a crappy paying job doing cashier work at a Walmart but there are TONS of people who would be thankful to have that job where they have been unemployed for several months to a year....

You can call me almost anything except a bi^ch! That sets me off like nobody's business.

If he spoke to you like that I wonder how many children and senior citizens are treated with disrespect! Please, take your receipt with you and go to the store manager. There is absolutely no excuse for that type of behavior. I commend you for reacting like a total lady but how many other people heard his comments??? Not acceptable.

If I had been there, and it was my wife, if I hear him say that, and calls her a b**ch, I'm leaning over the register and b**ch slapping his face. Then tell him he is now a b**ch.

I like the way you roll

I'm on board with the people saying I would've called a manager. Then again, I've NEVER experienced anything resembling customer service at Walmart, so I would not have been surprised if complaining did nothing!

Either way, good on you for buying food that's good for you and sticking to your guns!

my d**** is the word for damn because I try my best not to swear and for me it is a swear word. He called me a female dog right after the first swear.

I would have definately complained about this, no matter what you were buying, or how bad a day he had been having, he had no right to call you that

if something like that had happened to me I would find that associate and use their till as often as possible

Passive Aggressive Revenge..... I LOVE IT!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

i work at walmart...and i would NEVER say that no matter how bad of a day i was having or if it was one in the morning. There is always going to be something that tries to bring us down, but u seem strong enough to blow it off GOOD JOB! Keep doing good and eating healthy!

p.s. please dont think all walmart cashiers are like that

:noway: This is one of the many reasons we don't shop at Walmart anymore. I've had to put my foot in someone's *kitten* way too many times. If it had been me, I would have embarrassed the living crap out of him AND contacted management. My produce eating self wouldn't have left the store until he was unemployed.

And on a side note, Walmart really is the worst place to buy produce and most meat products.

i have to say as a cashier at walmart i take a lot of bull**** from people when i check them out. I would like to say i treat people the way they treat me, but i would be lying. I treat the rude customers just as nice and the respectful people. Why are we so rude at times and not say anything to customers at times? We never know how the next person is going to act. I try to greet my customers everyday and ask how they are doing... i mostly get ignored and sometimes a curse word for no reason. I blow it off.. but it does make me hesitate to talk to the next person in line. In this case he/she had no right to comment in that way. Attitude reflects leadership. I have seen a lot of management do and say things i would rather not repeat on here. Its best to blow it off. Sorry this happened to you. Hope next time is better!

hmmm. This is where letting go of things is a big win. I really don't care what the cashier at walmart calls me or doesnt call me. I simply don't have the time or inclination to worry about small things like that. Running into one A-hole, rather it be in traffic or at walmart, is a blip on my radar and not worth the stress, aggravation, or time of ‘doing something about it’. As long as I don't have to wait in line for a gillion hours, the product was rung up quickly and correctly, and my bread didn’t get squished - I'm good.
