A One With A Whole Bunch Of Zeros Behind It
I see they have something new they can discuss over at the employees section of WalmartSucks.com. It seems someone in Georgia tried to pay for more than fifteen hundred dollars' worth of merchandise with store gift cards that had only a little more than two dollars of credit left on them. Of course, one might understand a lack of knowledge about the exact amount remaining on the cards. We'll stretch our imaginations that much. But then this woman offered to pay with a very special alternative that was not exactly legal tender. The lady claims to have gotten the bogus bill from her estranged husband. I'm betting we'll see her soon on either Divorce Court or Judge Judy.
As for Wal-Mart, I suppose their biggest headache was having to put back all the stuff that woman brought to the register. Then again, maybe the cops did them a favor and hauled it all away as evidence. I'm glad I wasn't shopping there that day. I always end up picking the slow check-out line, and this one sounds like it was a real show-stopper.
