Went to Walmart on Parham Rd where I picked up my needs and a few wants. On the way out, I was assaulted by the receipt checker when I didn't hove to and present my papers. Most of you know how I feel about having to prove legal ownership of my personal possessions and are aware of Walmart's official policy on store security.
When I did not stop for the "excuse me, sir" but simply responded "no thank you," the lady in question rapped me sharply 7 or 8 times on the shoulder from behind which drew an immediate exclamation from me - "Don't touch me again!
In all the times I've been in Walmart, only one time did i ever have the person at the exit make an attempt to halt my progress, and it was at that store. Have to admit my response was not quite so polite as yours, instead i just went back to my English roots and shouted 2 words at them, the first of which began with 'P' and is a 4 letter word that, when 'ed' is added can mean either upset/angry or (to an English person at least) drunk, the second word was 'off'.
Many years ago I upset one of the then assistant managers there. I was a driver working out of the Walmart Distribution Center at Zion Crossroads, I was recovering from a broken arm and hadn't been released to drive again so was working in the office on a night shift. Had a driver call me because he was trying to get in the back of the store and they wouldn't open the door at the back of the store for him, nor would they answer his phone calls. It's a long walk to the front door of that store in the dark so he wasn't going to do that. I tried calling the store and had the same lack of success. The main office at the distribution center tried calling on an internal number and still it wasn't answered. It was about 2am and this is a 24 hour store, so being about 50 miles away and unable to see what was going on, I called the non emergency henrico co number, told them I didn't know if there was a problem at the store but i was concerned for the safety of our driver and also for the safety of any employees at the store in case there was an incident as that was all i could think of for the store not to answer an internal company phone.
About 10 minutes later the driver called me to say that the door had been opened for him by an employee who was accompanied by a uniformed county employee (another had showed up outside to check on the driver). About 30 minutes after that the assistant manager called and began cussing at me because he'd just had his ass chewed by 6 or 7 cops who'd responded and been rather upset with him because he'd failed to manage his store and allowed his employees to disappear to where ever they went to hide. Every time he raised his voice at me and every time he cussed I hung up the phone, think it took him 7 or 8 calls to say one sentence. He ended up reporting me, which led to my manager listening to the recordings of our conversations which led to the store's assistant manager being disciplined
