Walmart carded me for buying glue. They were caving to public pressure over supposed kids who like to "sniff".

I love the store, but now I won't buy anything that they card for, like glue and DVDs.

"Made in China" is one thing, but I don't want to feel like I am actually shopping there.

I was at a self service register last week. I got carded on some paint remover. It kind of insulted me. The clerk didn't ask for ID . She just looked at me and punched in an approval.

Skip Wal-Mart and China.  Buy direct from India.  :-)

I say this only half in jest.

Of all things, on Monday I purchased online a . . . tortilla press.  Monday . . . 27 March.  The press will arrive tomorrow . . . 31 March . . . from Bombay, India . . . a day late due to a late train somewhere in Ohio!

Dell Computers is located 85 miles north of here and they can't ship to me that fast.

Tonight I went in to do an exchange. The top of my receipt was smudged. But, the part that would have had any card info. was on the bottom. So, obviously, it was a cash exchange. The girl asked for my i.d., which I had left at home. So, I went to the back of the store to find my husband and have him exchange it. She gave him a hard time, saying it was a third party exchange, even though it had been paid for in cash originally. He said if she had pushed it we would have gone home to get my i.d., then had a talk to her manager when we got back. The stupid thing is if he had been the one to take up the stuff in the first place there would have been no problem.
