The Buda Walmart is permanently off our family shopping list

So I’ve complained many times in the past that the Buda, TX Walmart always makes me feel like a thief when leaving the store. Every time, they stop me and check my basket and receipt. Like I’m stealing something. It really bothers me so i usually try to go to Target or HEB when possible, but sometimes Walmart has what I want. Today was one of those days and as usual my cart was checked on exit. This time I decided to say something. The man said I was the 5th person to complain since 9am. So I asked to talk to the manager. The manager, who happened to be named Tammy, was zero help. She said it’s company policy. I said it doesn’t happen at other walmarts (and other stores in general). I said I put in an online complaint but never heard anything. She said I didn’t hear anything because this is what’s supposed to happen. Ultimately she said she’s not changing it and that it hasn’t affected sales. I said it will now.

If there is something I MUST go to walmart for I’ll drive to slaughter or San Marcos, but mostly I’ll just be going elsewhere. I’m just completely fed up. I almost turned around and returned my entire $150 purchase, but I just wanted to leave! I’m still debating returning it, but I probably won’t. I just don’t want to deal with them at all anymore. They can consider it my goodbye gift

I’ve already seriously reduced my trips to wal-mart. I get so sick of them checking my reciept at the door. And today was no different. They of course had to stop me and check my reciept. Do I look like a thief??!!!! Gggrrrrr!!!!

I will be coming here even less now. Probably very rarely, if at all. I love Target anyway. Just came here for Zoe’s nap. Won’t be doing that again for a long time.

Thanks. Vent over.

We are at a Walmart in Plainfield, Indiana

We have decided to stop at a Walmart in Plainfield, Indiana. It is close to Indianapolis. There are a few truckers staying here too.

We had a bit of a mishap on our quest to find a Walmart. I was following the GPS’s recommendations and suddenly a sign for a bridge was ahead that indicated that the bridge was only about ten and a half feet high. Brutus is 12″1′ tall! That math does not work. There was only one street after the sign and we turned left on it. It led us directly to a private road with a sign stating that there was no tresspassing. There was no point to turn this rig around. So, I put on the hazzard lights and unhooked Julie and Dolly. I connected Dolly to Julie and Tammy drove that rig as I turned Brutus around and we selected another Walmart. Some fellows in a work truck stopped to ask if we needed help and then directed us to this Walmart. Whew!

We arrived without another problem. I pulled in and Tammy parked right next to me. We are leaving everything disconnected for the night as Zoe has to get to bed. As I am typing this on my phone, I can feel the RV rock while Tammy is hard at work trying to get Zoe to sleep.

We will leave here tommorrow for our weekend destination in St. Louis. Really, the campground is in Illinois and it is called East St. Louis. I had no idea of the geography in the area. I love learning all of this. This campground is supposed to have a beautiful view of the St. Louis skyline and of the bridge. Strangely enough, the place is called The Casino Queen. I wonder why. . I am excited as the ratings in Trailer Life give it good marks.

We plan to visit the St. Louis zoo and the addmission is FREE! Zoe loves fish and animals. I guess that I will have to gamble a little too. It breaks my heart (or something like that…).

In an earlier post, I was wondering if the moon that I saw in Canada is the same as in the USA. Apparently it is not as I think the one tonight is much prettier. I’m not biased…
