The date is wrong, but this happened and I am hoping Walmart changes their policy. It was a busy shopping day toward Christmas. We had just begun shopping. No items in our cart. Our first stop was the elctronics dept. We wanted to get some dvds. We picked out 4 dvds two were dvd sets about $40 a piece. The movies were $25 a piece. We placed them in our cart over $100 in total not counting tax. There was a line that stretched out around the entire length of the Elect. Dept.into the shoes dept. We walked around the lines because we were not ready to leave yet. Suddenly a walmart Employee jumps out at me scaring me silly I actually jumped, grabs my arm and yells "you have to pay for those movies here" I informed her we were not done with our shopping, she tightened her grip on my arm and said "you still have to pay for them here" I looked over at the long lines and said "like hell" I handed her the two dvd sets back and the two single movies. She made a face and said "don't you still want them?" I turned and said no we don't have time to stand in line twice. Keep them! Then we walked away. I realize they have to protect themselves against theft, but my Partner and I are returning customers. Acting as if everyone they come in contact with are thieves is very insulting. I for one do not appreciate it. I did end up getting both sets and both movies later, but not at Walmart. And we paid alot less for them! Btw we did find two movies up front in the 2 for $10 bin. We decided if they asked us to go to the electronic dept to pay for them we would just set them aside too, but happily they let us pay upfront for them... I should add when that Employee grabbed my arm she came close to getting her lights punched out, first by me then by my Partner... It is so not a good idea to grab someone like that!
