Once again, after leaving WalMart a great deal more harried and lighter in the pocketbook, I realized I've been ripped off again by the superstore. Yet another of my bags of groceries did not end up in my cart.

After having this happen numerous times in at least at 4 different WalMart stores, I am on my guard for any missing bags left at the carousel. Still, after dealing with hundreds of other shoppers, crying children, unattended shopping carts, rude and clueless store personnel, mega-jammed shelves and long, long check-out lines, I reach the cash register with an urgency to leave the store. And at least once a month I get home without my full money's worth.

I find it hard to believe that this is happening only to me, and if it's happening to WalMart's other customers with any frequency at all, this has got to be adding up to quite a little profit for our neighborhood superstore.

Is WalMart so desperate for our few last coins that it's willing to steal from us right out of our grocery carts? SHAME.

Hardly a ripoff.

AUTHOR: I am the law - Chicago (USA)

How is this a ripoff?

You left your bags on the carousel. Walmart didn't physically rip the bags out of your hand and put the stuff back on the shelf. You were distracted and you made a mistake. Own up to it.

I'm sure this is not an intentional act

AUTHOR: Thuno - Zanesville (United States of America)

I am employed by Walmart and also shop at the store I work in. I have had this happen to me several times, even when I checkout with cashiers I know very well.

This usually happens when the cashier is really busy and I'm not paying attention. I know for a fact that in training cashiers are told to double check that all bags have been removed from the carousel before moving on to the next customer, unfortunatly sometimes they are to busy and or simply forget this.

I personnally feel that it is just as much the customers responsibility to make sure they have all their bags. Simply ask the cashier, "Is this all my bags"?? before leaving the checkout. In most cases the cashier should be happy to give it a fast spin and check.

It would be hard for me to believe that any  Walmart store or employee is intentionally "ripping off" anyones purchases by doing this.

It happens once, we learn, we check from now on.  How many times does it have to happen to you before you learn?

You should be thankful to Walmart, you insist on shopping there, It must give you a reason to gripe.
