Wal-Mart, Line 9 - No WHITES ALLOWED!

[BATMAN]

Maybe numerous people that are tired of being treated like foreigners in our own land need to circulate a petition and send it to the corporate office. Numbers speak louder than solo complaints. And I understand all the gripes people have had, but I am glad people are not just taking it. Tee, for example, calling her on it was what needed to be done. Dodge is going to hell in a handbasket.

I for one refuse to use the self checkout lanes. They hire people to work there, they're going to do their job, not me. I worked in a different grocery store for 2 years, so I refuse to do it if I don't have to. I agree with the sh!t-assed coverage on the checkout lanes too...and for god's sake, get people who have a little speed, I am so sick of wanting to pay for 3 items and having to wait for 15 minutes to get through the line when there are only 2 others in front of me. One of their black checkers has been particularly slow the last couple of times I've been stuck with her, and none of them even seem to give a flying ****!!

I made a phone call to the Bentonville AR Corp HQ and spoke to a CSR there. She was appalled at what had transpired and she asked me to call the Business Ethics Hotline. I did, and they interviewed me at great lengths.

I also informed them that I have a video of the incident and that I was considering sending it on to Bill O'Reiley at Fox News and/or upload it to YouTube. I have all the phone conversations recorded as my phone records everything-all the time.

I suspect that Walmart also has it recorded, as they have a hi-tech DVR system and cams at all the registers.

I sincerely feel that I and many other customers were discriminated against and I am wondering if I should seek legal representation for a discrimination lawsuit.

I was told by Adriana (asst mgr) that I would receive a callback today from the mgr- as of yet, I have not. I was also told by Corp that I would get a call....hmmm, nothing on the caller ID or answering machine for today.

I am betting that once it's on Fox News, I'll get some calls and they will actually do something about it, but not until then. hmmmm.

This is why we will take our money to Dillions and to Target in GC. I am so sick of the hispanics when at, Wal Mart Sucks, They will Literally push you to get ahead in line, they walk as a family side by side so you have to move out of the way. Last time we was at Wal Mart Sucks, I stood my ground and pushed through the aisle. I hope that you can get a story out there Tee, and maybe Corp will at least call back to address this prob at Wal Mart Sucks.

But you know, it happens at all the Shopping places. Getting where them FU--ERS think they own them places.

Good luck Tee with the Wal Mart Sucks story. Bill Young

Ha Ha I do that too! Another thing I hate about going in there is the kids that run all over everywhere. If they run out in front of me while I'm shopping, I don't slow down, they can run into my cart for all I care! Maybe then it would teach them to quit running!!!

Another thing that pisses me off is all the half eaten candy, food and such all over the stores.

Well Bear, glad to know the Big City Doctors didn't take away your 'tude.

When I worked at another grocery store (albeit a much smaller one) there was a lady with a bag of grapes running around the store with her kids, eating the grapes. My manager actually told me that when they check out I should charge them for a pound of grapes, and I did, and the lady got all pissed, but I just told her that we'd watched her eat them, so she had to pay for them. She left in such a huff, but I didn't really care. (She was hispanic of course...)

Tee-

Go for it man. Get it on Fox and/or YouTube. People that don't live here, just can't get it through their head that things like that really happen. Dodge City is a long ways from the border to be a border town, but that it what it has become.

I try to avoid Wal-Mart and especially the restrooms. I try to use the ones in the back of the store if I really have to, I seem to find them better than the front one. I should have taken a picture of the used toilet paper piled in the corner of the back stall of the front restroom, but the smell was unbearable. The pile was about eighteen inches tall. Pure filth.

It is odd but in the few times in a month that I eat in restaurants, I see almost no one ever go wash their hands before eating. Today, at King's Buffet, I watched for about 30 minutes as I ate -- only two out of about 30 people went to the restrooms before putting their hands over all the food. Hopefully, they washed up before coming out.

This was a mostly white crowd. Perhaps they all washed up before coming, but at lunch I doubt it. Besides, if you open the doors at the place with your hands, you really should wash right away, even again, before reaching over the food. It is sad that the huge advances made in sanitation since the early 1900s -- the major reason for our health being better -- seems to have been forgotten by most. Do they teach health classes anymore at the schools?
