I went to my local Walmart about an hour ago. I asked the employee there if she could look to see if there were any Joes coming soon. She told me, "I've seen you come thru quite a few times. I've seen you looking at the pegs and at the boxes on the pallets at night. I believe you have a serious problem if you keep coming here every other night looking for toys. So I suggest you leave before I call security." So I told her to call security. She did, and security and a couple managers came. She told them what she told me. I told them that I'm a collector and I just want to spend my money there. Well, after one of the managers told me that the GI Joe brand is not being carried there anymore they had security escort me out the garden section(I parked on the grocery side). I think I'm going to write a complaint to corporate.
I don't leave a mess when I search. I don't open unopened boxes on pallets. I don't bother the employees. I just walk by. If I don't see anything new I keep walking on. **UPDATE** August 17th 8:45am Good morning guys and thanks for all your comments. Didn't think my rant thread would still be alive. Lol. I've read thru alot of the post and want to update this a little. First of all, the guy I saw that I thought was the DM was the assistant DM. I went back and looked at the picture in customer service. I just remembered the assistant's face because his is the only one that stands out. What I mean by that is that on a few occasions when I had refunds and whatnot I've chuckled to myself about his enormous goatee. Now the toy aisle worker was not some young chick. If that was the case I would have avoided that aisle from embarrassment. Sorry, that's just how I am. The lady was a little older than me and her teeth were all black with some white spots. What I didn't mention in my first post was I did notice two guys going thru the Hot Wheels at the time I was being escorted. So I will be contacting the DM today. I actually was able to schedule an appointment with him this afternoon when I went to double check the picture of the guy I thought was the DM. I do also plan on seeing what I can find out as far as the recent decision on them not carrying Joes anymore. Oh and yeah...I do keep an itemized report of all the groceries and toiletries and toys I buy each year from my local Walmart. It's in the thousands if you count up everything for the whole year. Wish me luck. **UPDATE** August 17th 4:30pm I had the meeting with the actual DM and Assistant DM of Walmart. He was a pretty nice guy and let me explain my side of the story. I told him that I do not or have I ever gone through any boxes on pallets nor do I shift through the pegs leaving a mess behind. He did say that no one said that of me. I told him that I collect the 3 3/4" GI Joe action figures. And new waves come out every few months or so(well, supposed too)and since I am unaware of when the GI Joe action figures are restocked, I do frequently check in the action figure aisle, when I do my grocery shopping, to see if any new product has shown up. I've never asked a Walmart associate to check the back or to check to see if they know of any new product that is suppose to show up. He did apologize for what the associate stated to me as being "creepy" and "having a problem". It's just that she was not sure how to handle that particular type of situation and they are looking to train their associates on what to actually look out for in a disgruntled shopper. But he did assure me that they are continuing their investigation in this matter and I may be called in later to give another interview. I asked how long does something like this take and he said a matter of a few weeks. Last edited by sbartek1974; 08-18-2013 at 08:43 PM.. |

Yes, I was cool. I kept saying, "All I want to do is spend my money here." The manager kept saying, "I understand sir, but it's just a little unsettling to our employees when you're walking thru here everyother day."

For your info, I don't sniff loudly in the lady panty section...I do that in the spray paint and paint thinner section.
