Spoke to a manager at Wal-Mart. I was tired of the bullshit and had to have an answer.

 

He and the assistant confirmed:

 

1.) They do have the policy "We reserve the right to refuse service at any time, for any reason." Even if it's not on the doors/walls when you come in, it's company policy. They generally will bend the rules if possible, but in a situation like this (legally binding street date) they cannot and will not. (and any employee, even a department manager, will be punished. They could even be fired.)

 

2.) Ticket switching IS illegal, and a form of shoplifting. (They've had people busted for it before.) If caught, no ifs, ands, or buts... you will be removed from the store (by police escort if necessary) and you will be outright banned from that store. If they so choose, they can put you on a list to be banned from ALL Wal-Mart stores and if you violate that, you can be arrested. (It then becomes unlawful trespass.)

 

3.) The people they put on the Self Checkout booth are new and inexperienced cashiers, and when they rotate the crew, they put in a cashier with years of experience. The inexperienced ones won't even notice what you're doing, but the old skool cashiers will, and they will stop you. Otherwise, you've just cost them their job. (In a situation like that, it's a case by case basis, but the cashier IS reprimanded, and some have even been fired on the spot.)

 

4.) It does screw up inventory. It raises prices, creates confusion, less stock is ordered, and they have to hire a third party to come in and find the discrepancies. All of that cost is returned to YOU, the customer. That's part of the reason why everything in the store's gone up. It's not just the economy, they're correcting for lost items, fraudulent sales, dirty coupons, etc.

 

YOU.

END.

UP.

PAYING.

 

So, bottom line is this:

 

1.) You are not allowed to buy the figures until the 30th. Circumventing the restriction is a big no no.

 

2.) It's illegal, and they will remove you from the store, and ban you from it.

 

3.) You're going to cost someone their job, a promotion, or a raise, all because you want your figures a few days early.

 

Pathetic. Stop pulling this shit.

Well, it's a shitty thing to do to the stores and their employees. He's standing up for what he believes in and I agree with him.
