Stopped in wal mart to pick up refills at the pharmacy and needed to get home in a hurry. Seemed to be a good day since I was able to walk up within a couple of minutes to get my meds. The only items I had were my meds and in a their small med bag with the receipt stapled over the top as usual. Headed out the door and 5 foot granny asked about receipt, held the bag up and that didn't satisfy her. I kept going and she came after grabbing my bag saying I need to see it, and twisting my hand and the bag around where she could read the damn numbers. Seeing the receipt was not good enough! While she was holding the bag I told her, ' you know you can get into trouble about this', and her reply (sung) was a tune from a song, 'ain't that a shame'... I left and headed for my car and the more I thought about it the madder I got.
I knew I had already read on here about a similar episode in shreveport and the results there. Well before I got a half mile away I had the manager on the phone telling her what happened. The manager told me the lady was not supposed to do that because, ' anything bought at the pharmacy can't leave without being paid for first and she did not need to see any receipt'. She asked if that was the only bag I had and told her yes and she said she would have to have a talk with her about what she did being wrong.
I am still steamed over it. Have never had it happen before and the usual guy that is at the door was over by the door sitting down and said nothing. The manager could not believe what the old lady said in reply to me. The old lady acted like she was the sheriff.
I don't think this is going to be the end of this. I am normally easy going with things like this and have shown my receipt before when leaving and other times had my buggy full and some stuff not in bags and just walked right on out with just a nod or even at times slowed down to show the receipt without them even asking to see it. I guess this is one of those things that gets under your skin and u just have to scratch it until your satisfied, so I think I got some scratching to do... Rock.
