[StBernard] WAL-MART

[Westley Annis]

Got this from a friend.  Don't know how true it is...but it's still good
advice. Never thought to do this cuz I always say "no" to cash. Also, always
make it my business to watch that items ring up at the correct amount.
Sometimes, tho, you are rushed thru and kinda expected to grab your bags
from the turnstile to put in your buggy, so you don't always see what's
happening.

OMG!  YES!  THIS IS TRUE!  It happened at the Wal-Mart Supercenter Store
#1279, 10411 N Freeway 45, Houston , TX 77037  a month ago.  I bought a
bunch of stuff, over $150, and I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was
handing me the bags.  I saw a cash-back of $40.  I told her I didn't request
a cash back and to delete it.  She said I'd have to take the $40 because she
couldn't delete it.  I told her to call a supervisor.  Supervisor came and
said I'd have to take it.  I said NO!  Taking the $40 would be a cash
advance against my Discover and I wasn't paying interest on a cash advance!
If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order.
So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order and re-scan
everything!  The second time I looked at the electronic pad before I signed
and a cash-back of $20 popped up.  At that point I told the cashier and she
deleted it.  The total came out right.  The cashier agreed that the
electronic pad must be defective. Obviously the cashier knew the electronic
pad was defective because she NEVER offered me the $40 at the beginning.
Can you imagine how many people went through before me and at the end of her
shift how much money she pocketed? 

Here's another one!!!

Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Milford DE Walmart last week.
She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and
didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt and the
cashier was annoyed and gave it to her. My co worker didn't look at her
receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for $20
cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK. My co worker called Walmart who
investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called
her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her this. There is a
scam going on. The cashier will ask for cash back and hand it to her friend
who is the next person in line.  Please, Please, please check your receipts
right away when using debit cards. The store has the cashier under
investigation now. We can only pray that she is caught very soon. 

I am adding to this.  My husband and I were in WalMart North Salisbury and
paying with credit card when my husband went to sign the credit card signer
he just happen to notice there was a $20 cash back added.  He told the
cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has
been messing up and she canceled it.  We really didn't think anything of it
until we read this email.  Please be aware
