walmart Yesterday

Mama Mia — Thu, 03 Jul 2014 19:50:54 GMT

We shopped at a super Walmart yesterday, and spent nearly $600.00 in two baskets, two trips through the checkout. A lot of pet things etc. Anyway we needed stamps, so asked for two books. Also $20.00 back in fives. She gave us back the receipt folded, the check and four fives, and I thought I saw stamps in there. so just put them in my purse.

Got home, no stamps. I went through my purse at least four tomes and Dh a couple. I then called Walmart and got CS, gave her the checker number and time etc. off the receipt, forgot to tell her to let me know, either way. So I called right back and explained if the checker balanced, she kept them, because we didnot get them.. I told her I know I sounded accusatory but that was the way it was.

I did tell CS we went through her line two times and she never said a word, so she probably just forgot.

This morning early got a call from CS and all they said was "bring your receipt and come pick up your stamps at CS"so I don't know what happened. They are $9.80 a book you know. I am glad I at least followed through on it

It doesn't sound like the cashier stole them. It sounds like she just forgot to put them in there, so her register was over.

Glad you got your stamps back. You probably freaked her out with so much stuff that she just forgot.

Indeed. The store will take care of the customer and can deal with the cashier as it sees fit.

I'd give the checker the benefit of making a mistake. I've had it happen a number of times. The checker and I became busy talking or finalizing the payment and lost track of the stamp order.

I really think it was just a mistake too, and my fault for not looking through it when she handed the money and stuff to me. I should have learned by now!

mm

I wish I could count how many times I unloaded the groceries into the car, started it and went "MY STAMPS!" The checker will see me run in and we both get that look on our face. LOL

I like to get mine thru the ATM..but once I was at Albertsons and asked for $60 cash back..and got to my next stop, and didn't have it...I went back and they were VERY skeptical, but gave me my $60..I still feel like they think I was trying to rip them off whenever I go into that store!!

On Saturday we were watering flowers in our back yard with a Pocket Hose and, poof, the hose broke in two. So, on Sunday we took the hose and receipt back to WalMart. Our receipt was two days past the 90 day guarantee, but CS did allow us to get a new pocket hose at no charge. I hope this one lasts longer than 3 months! Anyway, we left as satisfied customers.

I didn't even know you could buy stamps thru the line at Wally World.

You have to be wide awake when you check out at Walmart. A couple of times I've gotten out of the store having left something in a bag on their carousel.

I can't tell you how many times I've hit the "cash back" button on the ATM machine at the market, and then had to remind the cashier that she/he hadn't given me the cash. Not surprised that it also happens when you buy stamps.

They did an audit of her register. And, she probably got fired.

I'm not sure why people automatically assumed the cashier did it on purpose or got fired.

Mistakes DO happen. That's why you check at the end of the shift when you balance.

When I was in college, I was a teller at a bank...the lead or vault teller, actually.

I handled thousands in cash every day. Every afternoon the op mgr and I balanced the vault.

Tellers could be out of balance, but NEVER the vault. Our vault was $2000 short, and I had no.idea what happened.

Two weeks went by. I thought for sure I would be fired. Then when we were balancing the vault one day, my op mgr happened to shift a stack of cash, and guess what? A pack of 20s (2000) had fallen behind the other stacks and was not noticeable.

Things happen. You don't just fire people.

at my walmart they have to call for them...the stamps are not in their register drawer...it is so easy to forget to give them out....they ring your order...your chatting with her/him..the bagging...and you leave....to even think she was trying to steal your stamps is absurd...and unkind....I worked in a market and try as I may I would sometimes forget to give out the stamps...and we had ours in our register drawer....
