I brought my ten year old son shopping with me. We went to your store in Georgia. Your store was giving away cookies if we donated to charity. The charity was to help feed underprivlaged black children. I am not about to give a dollar to some black mama that has children without planning on them. However my son wanted a cookie. They first treated him like he was stupid, and said that he could not have a cookie, he has to make a donation and ask a parent. He came over to me and asked me for a dollar. I told him to just take a cookie, those cookies cost $1.89 for one package. They are ripping us off. A cookie and a coffee for a donation. People were giving $20. He told the person that mommy did not want to make a donation and that he wanted a cookie. She let him have one cookie. However my son saw that there were three different kinds and wanted one of each. She told him he could only choose one. I saw how she was rudely talking to my son and told her what will it hurt if he has three cookies. At this time my son started crying because he wanted to try all three cookies and she would not let him. Finally she let him try all three, which made no differnce because I would have asked him to ignore the lady and take one cookie anyway. This is a total ripoff. I bet the people giving $20 only got one cookie as well. Now I am not a poor person. I can certainly afford $1.89 each three times for a package of cookies. I am a registered nurse. I make 80k a year. However it is the principal of the matter and I think my son should be given a $25 giftcard for the grief and embarassment you made him feel.

How is they at fault?

AUTHOR: Mrtim - Worth (U.S.A.)

So let's get this straight: you told your son to take a cookie without making a donation. It's doesn't matter what others were donating or the cost of the cookies in question, you told your son to steal a cookie. And then when they gave him a cookie anyway, you were still upset because they didn't give him an assortment? So you contributed NOTHING and were upset even after they gave you something?

I don't think you understand the whole point of Rip Off Report, because in this case YOU are the one who ripped off a charity. And at the end you state how much money you make, yet you still want MORE for your son's alleged embarassment?

You are entitled to nothing.

Are You Kidding Me!!

AUTHOR: Mandysmom90 - Canton Country (U.S.A.)

You told your son "to just take a cookie"! These people were not giving away free cookies, they were trying to earn money for a charity. You had the choice of donating or not donating to this charity. So how is this ripping you off.

As for wanting a $25 gift card for your son for his grief and embarrassment, I hope Wal-Mart tells you to take a hike. You are the person at fault here. You allowed your 10 year old son to create a scene by crying because he did not get what he wanted. You told him to take something that did not belong to him(stealing!). You are the person making racist judgments about people.

Of all the self entitled people in the world...

AUTHOR: sylver8248 - murfreesboro (U.S.A.)

You may be one of the worst.  Did it not dawn on you, that the point of the whole thing was to DONATE TO CHARITY?  They were giving away cookies as a thank you for donating money to a cause.  I think it is absolutely sad that you would teach your son to be so self entitled.  Not only did you teach your son, to disregard the fact that THE COOKIES WERE FOR PEOPLE DONATING MONEY, by telling him to take a cookie...you then didn't accept that he couldn't have 3 (after they went ahead and let him take one), until they relented.

And THEN, after they gave in and gave your son 3 cookies, you expect them to GIVE YOU MONEY AS COMPENSATION?!?!?!?!?!  You are the reason that some people should not procreate.  You are also the reason that kids now act like they are owed the world.

Disgusting.

A lesson for life?

AUTHOR: Robert - Buffalo (USA)

Are you for real???

"He came over to me and asked me for a dollar. I told him to just take a cookie,"

So you told your SON to just go ahead and STEAL one-all because your precious brat wanted one and you with your claimed $80,000 income was too bigoted to make a donation.  But there's more....

"At this time my son started crying because he wanted to try all three cookies and she would not let him. Finally she let him try all three, which made no differnce because I would have asked him to ignore the lady and take one cookie anyway."

Great life lessons you're teaching your child!!!  Take one anyway!!!  Oh, but there is more yet....

"I am a registered nurse. I make 80k a year. However it is the principal of the matter and I think my son should be given a $25 giftcard for the grief and embarassment you made him feel."

What hypocracy!!!!  "It's the principle of the matter" you say! If anyone caused your precious any embarassment it was you-you set the stage for this unfortunate chain of events.

If the store should give your son a gift card for $25 I think YOU owe the person at the cookie/donation stand $1000 for the turmoil that ensued under YOUR DIRECTION.

This person is doing what whe was hired/volunteered to do and along comes Ms. Pompous Ass RN telling her son to steal!

And your bigotry is equally appalling.  Another fine lesson you're teaching your son.  Perhaps folks as I will think your some "white momma" who didn't plan for her child.  After all, if you must resort to telling your child to STEAL THREE COOKIES because you can't buy him any, that sure looks like "poor planning" to me.

Do us a favor and tell us WHERE YOU WORK so we can be sure to avoid the establishment that unwittingly allowings someone as you to remain on the payroll.

This is unbelievable!

AUTHOR: Leann - Springfield (U.S.A.)

I had a hard time believing that someone actually posted this on here.  Lady, you are in no way being ripped off.  Your son was graciously given a cookie even though he did not make a contribution.  Then he decides that he wants to try all three types and when he is told no, he has a temper tantrum.  To make things worse, you decide that for some reason your son is special and deserves all three cookies.  You, my dear lady, have ripped off the charity that was trying to collect money to feed children.  How ironic is that?  You are showing your son that it is ok to take what he wants when he wants it no matter what.  He now knows that if he starts crying, you will give him whatever he wants.  Instead of Wal-Mart giving you a $25 gift card, you should be giving that charity $25.  My goodness woman, get a grip!

Has to be a bogus report...

AUTHOR: Robert - Irvine (U.S.A.)

This report was so outlandish that it "rang a bell" so to speak.  So sure enough look what else this person wrote on a visit they had to Pizza Hut.

So I will use the same phrase another poster left in the other thread

Troll, but this kind of BS does happen.

AUTHOR: Mafiagodfather - Makham (Canada)

At the wal-mart I worked at a mother switched the price tags in hopes of getting something cheaper.  Unfortunately she did not tell her daughter this was illegal and considered fraud.  How could her daughter know she was seven.  The mother would have gotton away with it had the loving daughter not stood up for her mother.  When the mother and daughter went to the check outs she claimed she was charged higher than the actual price and the law says she gets it for free since it was under ten dollars.  They would have given in to her except the daughter wanted to help her mother out.  The daughter told the cashier my mother switched the price tags and she should get it for free.  As soon as the child said this the mother started yelling at her calling her degrading names such as biotch, idiot, stupid ect.  Then she told the cashier to call the police on her daughter saying it was her daughter that scammed them not her.  Then she left, and someone overheard her trying to get another cashier to give it to her for a lower price.  She told her that if she did not get it for the price($1 difference) she would slap her across the face in front of everyone and beat her with a belt when she got home.  She was hitting her all over the parking lot and calling her the same names as stated above.  Someone saw what happened and called the police.  She also told the daughter that she would leave her in the parking lot and hope a stranger kidnaps her.  Anyways that mother got in real doodoo for treating her daughter like doodoo.  Then she claimed the police, security, person making the report (same race as her) were all racists.  As you can see there are those select few people who are a few fries short of a happy meal.

 

However this person has been posting on (((Redacted))) the same kind of crap.  It leads me to believe that they are trolling.  I have a feeling that it is the well known troll Tracy/NonnieMouse/Jason Tillo/Shoelady/cynthia who all are accounts by the same person.  I know cause NonnieMouse slipped up and wrote on of these.  "I am a registered nurse eat my sh!T it is better than you" kind of letters.

If this is true all I have to say is holy hitsay lady. Grow the uckfay up and get a life itchbay.

PURPOSEFUL IGNORANCE NOT AN EXCUSE

AUTHOR: MAA - North Plainfield (USA)

I agree with Sylver8248 People like you should not be able to procreate! I also agree with Robert - What kind of message are you giving your kid?

Lady, you must be suffering from some kind of defect.  You sound like a serial schemer, a lier and a thief!  I pray your kid doesn't pick up your character defects.  But, by the sound of it,  it's probably too late.  The consensus here says you are a sad, hateful, pathetic human being...

By the way, "you" could have avoided 'any' and 'all'  "Drama"  - 'You' should have just bought your brat of a kid 3 Boxes of cookies for $6.00 and been done with it.   But, it is obvious you don't have a quarter of a brain to do that.
