ceraurus, just feel lucky to know your getting them in your area. i understand your anger though. but i bet you thought it would make a great story for the rest of us. when things like this happen to us, we should remember, we are providing a whole community here with entertainment. don't get mad people, just vent here and it will all be better.
if i ever see a case in a store, never have, i am going to take my craftsman box-cutter open it up and plop those figs down on the register and play dumb. |

Yeah, the girl is the best option. They can always get someone to open the cases, or go in the back and look. Makes me furious...when she's busy, that is. |

Just got home from Wal-Mart and nothing. I'm gonna try another Wal-Mart, Target, and a Toys R Us tomorrow morning. I'm not holding my breath. I really want the Wild Weasel pack.

Made my rounds tonight. First Walmart was empty. Second - I found a sealed case! Noone was around to help me so I bought the whole thing! The woman at the register counted them all as Tomax/Xamots, so if you go to South Plainfield NJ and have them check inventory, don't count on it being accurate!
For those in the NY metro area - look out tomorrow AM, it may be tonight's restock |

I asked someone else who put a call in for a manager, but I think this guy was a manager. (Be warned, a hissy fit follows.) I am so pissed and I just may never go into a walmart again. At least I never lost my cool there. I just can't believe I had the 2 cases in my hands only to be denied do thoroughly. I hate you walmart. Sorry to hear about your luck today. I kinda had a problem with wal mart today too. I had asked another employee to get me some assistance in the toy isle. I waited and waited and then eventually he came. Right as soon as he came around the corner he bellowed out "we don't have any" and walked away within 5 seconds of rounding the corner. I never had a chance to tell him what i was looking for. So anyway, i decided to just leave. On the way out i noticed 2 1/2 pallets of toys in the center isle. I glimpsed at them when i walked by and did notice a box that said 25th anniversary on it. I said nothing and went home. I figure that guy obviously hates his job and decided to be rude for whatever reason he may have. I was not rude, in fact i never even asked him a question. Maybe he knew what i was going to ask, who knows. I decided in the end that it wasn't a big deal. Who cares that some wal mart employee wants to be rude. I know what some of you are thinking. Poor wal mart employee, he probably gets asked about gi joe all the time. Big deal, and i don't feel sorry for him. nobody chose his profession, and if he is not happy, he should leave. He is in a retail job and as surprising as it may be, you have to be nice to customers. |
