TANNER'S MOM wrote: Ok, I went to Wal Mart last for Bday shopping. I saw these cute pink Breast Awareness Bracelets for .94 cents. They look like the live strong bracelets and a proceed of course go to breast awareness.

Dh and I went to self check out..and he handed me all the stuff. We were putting stuff in the van and he said what is this..It was under your purse! OH NO! I STOLE IT, I said...

I said I am going to go in pay for it.. Randy said oh how embarresing. I said well if I don't I wont have a good consious..and that could be some really bad KARMA! You know ..

So back into Wal- Mart I went. They were schocked that I returned a 1.00 item.. But I paid my $1.00 even with tax.. I can Sleep NOW!

PascosGirl replied: I would have done the same thing. My 5 yo (when he was about 9 months) grabbed a car washing sponge and played with it. I meant to put it back but forgot, so we stole it. lol I went back and paid for it too.

Isabelita replied: Aww good for you. I agree, it would have been very bad Karma if you had not returned them happy.gif

GavinsMommy replied: That was good of you Mel! Now Wal-Mart should have a bad conscience for ripping you off on so many other things laugh.gif Yay Wally!!!

TANNER'S MOM replied:
Well, I am in the vicintiy of Wal-Mart home office. I have many friends and family who work for Wal-Mart..and Wal-Mart has never ripped me off. They do ALOT for our community as far as sponsorships and scholarships. They also employee alot of people of people in the State of ARK.

My Aunt who I told you was mentally retarded.. the school she goes too is funding by Wal-Mart.. She says she works for Wal-Mart.. she breaks apart the price tags..that come proforated ..and see basically unfolds them. She makes a small amount..but this school also learns life skills from the School type place..such as bathing properly, dressing, making easy meals..she always forgets what she learns. But everyday someone PAID by WAL MART helps her.

I have no greivanc against WAL MART.. I know they have put some Mom and Pops out..but they have helped my community and my family.

Right Tamara wink.gif

Mel sad.gif

A&A'smommy replied: WOW good for you!!! thumb.gif

Mommy2BAK replied:
Thanks Mel! You beat me to it laugh.gif

If I told you all the awesome things that Wal-Mart does you would be amazed!!! I sure am, my DH works in the WM home office.

I don't know how anyone figures that Wal-Mart rips them off.... where else can you get anything cheaper than WM??

But I do hate that they have put so many home town stores out of business! mad.gif

Mommy2BAK replied: Mel~ You did the right thing! I am proud of you!

redchief replied: An absence of greed... and there are obviously still honest people in this corrupt world!!! That's so refreshing! You're all good people smile.gif

GavinsMommy replied:
aww...lol i didn't mean it like that! i know they do a lot for people smile.gif in fact, there was a boy i went to school with who worked there and they really helped him a lot with learning new skills and having some money to spend.

i like wal mart and i shop there. i just meant that sometimes you think you're getting something for the lowest price bc it is at wal mart, but according to.....i think the history channel...lol...you're not. for example, if there are ten microwaves that wal mart sells...their cheapest one would be the cheapest out of wal mart, target, k-mart, etc...so you think...hey, well the cheapest is the cheapest anywhere, so the others must be the cheapest also. but supposedly that is just their marketing strategy. so all these times i thought i was getting something the cheapest i really wasn't. lmbo! it's a free game and market though and the convenience makes up for it.

sorry i offended you

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Good for you. thumb.gif I would have done the same exact thing. In fact I walked out of the BX with some diaper cream once without paying for it. I realized it and walked right back in. I personally love Wal-Mart. Spent a lot of time there in college. The grocerys were more on my students budget.

mommy2owen replied: Good For You! thumb.gif

GavinsMommy replied: this article is interesting. i had seen this a long time ago...there are many out there like it. i just thought since i offended you i should better explain what i meant by saying that. i don't think wal-mart is evil or has bad intentions... link

TANNER'S MOM replied: Oh I don't think you did..you didn't offend me. I just realize they are a LARGE company with some LARGE issues...but a mainstay on our community. I can't imagine where we would be w/ out them...

Mel

GavinsMommy replied:
Well I agree with that! What other store can you get groceries and everything for your home? It's just that in their effort to bring everyone low prices, they have caused some of their distributors to go into debt or close totally. But I guess like I said before that it is a free game. happy.gif

Mommy2BAK replied: Mel... I really hope you mean breast CANCER awareness and not 'breast awareness' LOL rolling_smile.gif

TANNER'S MOM replied:
oH my word! I was drinking a diet coke and had to spit everywhere..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I did that ALLL DAY LONG..
heee hee I am a MOD and can fix it!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

Mommy2BAK replied: laugh.gif

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Lol good for you! thumb.gif I would have done the same thing. happy.gif
