Walmart

I don't shop at Walmart on a regular basis. But on Friday night I went to pick up a donation gift card for the PTO and thought I'd look around a little, I had a little time to spare before picking up the girls (who where singing with the church group.) J was with me, I ended up finding a few things for the girls for Christmas. I left J with my debt card because I needed to go to the bathroom, bad, and I needed to leave to get the girls. Half way to pick up the girls I jokingly said to J did I spend $200 dollars. No, he tells me the amount but then says wait the receipt says (blank), which is $40 more than the merchandise I bought. I called right away and went back. I was told the register balanced, so I would have to wait 24 hours to get my money back. I was mad. I made J strip when we got home just so I knew without a doubt that he didn't take the money. Many phone calls by me later, and P today, because I was working all day, and 71 hours later I got my money back and a $20 gift card for my trouble. Which really isn't the point of being ripped off, and having to go back twice, and fighting for my money. $40 didn't seem like very much until I thought about well, if I make $8.00 an hour (I make a little more than that, and more an hour when I sub as a para pro) that's 5 hours of work, then it seems like a lot, especially since if I wasn't working all this overtime like I have in the past 2 weeks, I only work 10 hours a week. UGH.
