WALMART STEALS.

Why you may ask did I title this entry this way.....? Well lemme tell 'ya. Went to Walmart to get the oil changed in my truck before making the 150 mile trip back home. I had my digital camera on the console of my truck. I liked to keep it there to take pictures of stuff that caught my eye. well anyway they finished my truck i paid and scooted out. Got 'bout an hour away and realized my camera was gone. Of course called the store only to be told.... "SORRY THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO".
Yeah I realize that they have the sign up that states they are not responsible for items left in you car. But didn't think that it was also a license for the employees to steal. Am I bitter? Heck Yeah. I mean it was only a $150.00 camera but it's the principle of the matter. I used the customer service link to the main office in Bentonville, AR. No answer from them. So this is my rant against WALMART.
And of course you gotta shop there. They move in and run everybody else out of business. But I have learned my lesson. Never gonna give them the opportunity again to steal from me. Gonna watch them like a hawk from now on. And lock my stuff up for sure.
So 'nuff 'bout my great life. Hows things for you? Drop a line and say "HI".

I have never personally purchased anything from a WalMart. I have only been in one of their boxes once, and soon after that I convinced my spouse that these are not people we want to share our money with.

I will gladly pay more at a store with political attitudes that are more in alignment with my own. Costco, for example, has a better reputation with its employees.

That sucks.

I take my cars to a little neighborhood garage that employs heroin addicts to do odd jobs and I've never had a problem. I'll leave $thousands worth of professional camera gear in the trunk and it's never touched.

WalMart probably goes to great lengths to screen their employees for clean living and moral integrity, but they still end up with thieves going through customer's gloveboxes, while the junkies at my local garage mind their own business.
