Just do the grocery pickup so you can get robbed and not even notice it.

now you're learning

try Kroger or Tom Thumb, someplace with a rewards system(systemic rewardism) prices and quality are better, usually "bigger" items too, Walmarks, in general has smaller items so the "lower price" distracts you from seeing that you're getting less volume, don't shop there for much anymore but I'll be willing to bet their price per ounce/pound, whatever isn't really a bargain

There's this thing called inflation. It's causing prices to go up.

There's also this thing called a shortage of workers. It's causing stickers not to be updated on shelves every time the price changes.

I do grocery pickup from them once a week and then stop by Rouse’s, etc. to buy meat plus all the stuff Walmart erroneously said that they had in stock at the time of my order.

Someone that post here brags about scamming HEB but doing the self checkout and ringing premium produce as regular

So they're bragging about being thieves.

You know there aren't Tom thumbs or krogers in Baton Rouge. And you know he's in baton Rouge because of his reference to Calvin's.

But that would ruin your pretentious cocksucker schtick so carryon

You are so cool. Seriously, there is nobody in this world as cool as you are. Man, it is so crazy that you haven't been to WalMart in 20 years. Easily, the most braggable thing to every happen in life.

I think his angle is it’s his way of getting back for being forced to do self checkout

Today, 5 of 6 items I picked up were higher at checkout than listed on the shelves.


It's Walmart. Good chance the items were in the wrong place or the retarded staff just put the wrong stickers there.

I hate that place. The employees suck, as do the customers. Had a few run-ins with them and not interested in dealing with it anymore.

I basically have "hit prices" on steaks, salmon, and other higher end meats. NY Strip is up to 8.99

No I think doing an entire trip of groceries into to find they are more expensive than the prices in the shelves is worth a bitch and moan.

I put the corn aside and told her she could go restock the sh!t.

Wrong.

The correct response is to simply walk away from the entire purchase and let them restock everything.

That's what I did the last time I shopped for groceries at Walmart. Of 1,000 registers, two were open. The lines were absurd, and there were employees wandering all around the store. At one point, after I had already been in line for I don't know how long, and still wasn't next in line or anything, there was some sort of problem at the register with another customer and the cashier left - ostensibly to go get a manager or something. Standing there with a cart FULL of groceries, including ice cream and other frozen foods, I just walked out and left it all.

If they don't care about me, why should I care about them?

Winn Dixie is real bad about that.. They don't have the correct price for sale items. Their sales begin on Wednesday and they still don't have the correct price by Friday.. I blew up at them and said "how many people have you been ripping off?" This happens almost every time I have been in there.. Lately, if I can catch it at the register, the cashier just takes my word for it and corrects the price. This has also happened at Rouse's but not as much..

Self checkout you’re supposed to buy multiples and only scan one baw.
