My friend had a bad experience at WalMart.
She and her husband were at WalMart, and before they began shopping, they stopped to get a check that was made out to her cashed. When the WalMart employee cashed the check, she ignored my friend, Toni, and held the money up to her husband. Toni asked her what she was doing, and the employee ignored her again and said to Toni's husband, "You're the man of the house, and you will know how to better spend this money." :wtf:

I don't shop at WalMart. They are planning to build one a few blocks away from where I live---but, I won't be a customer.

2. What I would have done...
I would have called the store manager and told him, "Your employee cashed my wife's check and handed the money to me, telling us that I was the man of the house and would better know how to spend it. She's right. I am going to hand the money to my wife and direct her to spend it all at your competitors."

5. I definitely would have asked to talk to the manager---
and I asked Toni why she didn't do that. She said she was in shock and just didn't think of it. Hell--I would have shouted it!!!

14. Someone at WalMart
needs to look who is standing in the lines to check out. 75% of them are women.

12. The really shocking part
is that you're going to be living a few blocks away from a WalMart. The traffic congestion alone is going to be murder.
