I posted a while back about the Wal-Mart from hell (scroll down if you don’t remember).

Last weekend I had to get things for work and I have no option really except Wal-Mart to get the things I needed unless I drove much further away and still for the items I needed Wal-Mart was the better deal. I have to think of budget matters for work so I have to keep things as inexpensive as possible.

Anyway………I refused to go back to THAT Wal-Mart so I went to a different one which is nicer and cleaner by the way.

I had intended to simply pay for the items myself and get reimbursed rather than having the check hassle again. As I was doing my shopping and the cart full of things kept growing I decided I’d just talk to the manager first about the check and see if it was going to be an issue.

I went to the customer service desk and the guy there looked intelligent so I showed him my tax exempt card and the check and asked if it was ok that I write out the check to pay for the purchases. He looked at me like *I* was an idiot and said of course you can. I then had to explain about the other incident so he knew why I had asked. He said oh that should never have happened, municipalities don’t print names on checks that would be stupid (his words)! I said, yes it would but this did happen to me. He told me it was fine, go ahead and write the check. He said they have people sign checks all the time that aren’t theirs such as area farmers who have others do their shopping and sign the checks, their names aren’t printed on the checks either but it’s not an issues.

How do you like that! Seeing that I know for a fact that each store’s employees get a bonus (yearly I think) based on their sales, seems the Wal-Mart from hell fucked themselves. I bought another $200 worth of items from a different Wal-Mart where they are more knowledgeable.
