Walmart Manager arrested

[FrannyD]

This made my local paper's police report this week.

Shopping Nightmare
Last Saturday morning a manager from the Davis Street WalMart was arrested for allegedly assaulting a shopper. The customer tried to buy a costume advertised as 75-percent off the original $24.88 price, but the discount did not appear at the register. The manager offered her the costume for $15, then $12, but the shopper insisted the correct amount was closer to $7. The manager made a rude comment and walked away.

The upset shopper was about to leave the store when she noted an overcharge of $24.88 on her receipt. When she went to customer service, the manager told her to leave. She refused and threatened to call the police. A physical altercation ensued when the manager grabbed the shopper’s arm and attempted to take her phone away.

Police arrived and the manager was taken to jail.

there's a reason why they say 'the customer is always right'....

8. That speaks so

well for wal-fart's mentality. Wonder if that shopper will be back?

12. Not to mention the manager's intelligence.

If you do the math, the shopper was right on the discount.

But then I think everyone here knows that Wal-Mart is a bunch of crooks. :+

13. Rue, welcome to DU! nt

14. Thanks.

I've lurked on here for quite a while and only recently registered. Since I greatly dislike Wal-Mart's economic and labor practices (my union member father will not enter one by his own free will), I figured this was a good topic to reply to?

Any updates on this? It seems to be especially egregious.

15. Welcome to D/U Rue. Another reason to not shop at Walmart. Like I

needed another reason, LOL.
