Weird Walmart Experience in Loganville GA
Posted on 5/8/24 at 5:37 pm
Posted on 5/8/24 at 5:37 pm
Earlier this week I made a morning stop by Walmart because they have my Equate 4mg lozenges for half the price of the grocery stores and I needed my nicotine fix. I went ahead and grabbed some beer too, you know, for later in the afternoon. Trashy confirmed.
Weekday mornings are nice and slow at Walmart so I didn't have to deal with crowds and things that make me hate.
As I approach the front of the store, an employee says "Hey Bass Pro Shops!" I was wearing a BPS trucker hat, so I stopped and turned around, and it's just a Walmart employee smiling at me while leaning on one of those aisle pallets. I gave him a thumbs up and a smile, thinking that's weird, but it's Walmart so whatever.
I get to self checkout, everything goes fast and smooth.
As I'm traversing the front of the store where they have the ancillary services, the bank has a lady walk out and call me by name. So I stop and try to figure out if it is a lady in my neighborhood or how I know this lady that she knows my name, I say hi, and kind of stand there for a couple seconds trying to put it together. She just looks at me. I say "did you call me by my name?" No I wasn't wearing a name tag, thinking I did not recognize her and she says "No I was just saying hello".
So I say "hello" and continue making my way to the exit, starting to get a Truman Show feeling.
As I approach the greeter with my receipt in hand, he walks by me to another employee who called him over, and I overheard "yeah I was trying to talk to a customer and they didn't want to talk to me" and they weren't referring to me, but another customer.
So I calmed myself down by assuming there's some new Walmart mantra to give the chick fil a treatment to customers and it wasn't working out well.
Is that the case?
Do I have early onset dementia?
Was it all just random?

I get it, but you know Walmart is not capable of such a policy.

You probably got swarmed by loss prevention when they saw you sporting that trash.

The facial recognition probably alerted them to who you were. Seriously...

People trained or re-trained to be engaging isn't weird. It's a lost standard. Just get your beer and nicotine and relax.

Are you sure you didn't stop by Loganville Package Store and have a quick drink before your Wal-Mart trip? Lol
Actually, that seemed like a Twilight Zone experience for you.

Happened to me in La.
I was getting checked out in line (because the self check lines were packed). Inserted my credit card, and the checker hands me the receipt and says, "Thank you Robbbobb" (using my legal name / which no one uses). I assumed it showed up on her screen, and she was attempting to personalize our interaction
Was oddly disconcerting for a moment. Especially for a Walmart

I'm not a Doctor per say, but you could be having a stroke.

The package store is up the road a mile or so in Grayson, They used to know ME by name there not so long ago.

I had an odd experience today with (mil bank I've been a member of for decades) on the phone, where I think I got blessed four times in a six minute call. There's something going around in corporate customer service training that is unnatural.

This is how you know there was a glitch in the matrix,,,and you may have entered the afterlife.
No one ever uses words like ancillary and traversing while at or while thinking about their experiences at Walmart.
You died bro.
Edited: And dead people see you too.
