As much as I have supported Wal Mart, this is the second time a store has gone out of their way against policy to piss me off. I stopped to get a roll of tape on the way home from work. After waiting in line to pay, I was forced to wait in line to leave! They locked all but one door on my end of the store and made everyone wait single file while a half blind old woman drew a line on everyone's reciept. I didn't have a refrigerator or even a case of soda under my cart. I didn't even have a cart. I had one blue wal mart bag with one roll of Scotch tape in it. When I went to exit the other door, a clerk approached me with a tape gun that had a blade at the end! I was forced to wait about fiv minutes AFTER PAYING before I could leave. Their manager on duty, Eric, thought this was a laughing matter. Both calls to Wal Mart's corporate headquarters were taken very seriously though. They are supposed to have a real manager call me by next week to straighten things out. They cannot stop you from walking out of any exit unless it is designated as a fire exit only. The only way for them to legally detain or make an attempt to touch you is if they witness you commit a crime. Corporate headquarters understood this very well and couldn't understand why yet another moron manager of theirs would take it upon himself to create a new policy. Want to let Wal Mart know how you feel? Call 1-800-WAL-MART. Choose option 1, then option 3, then wait on the line. Say you were shopping at theTucson, AZ Super Wal Mart on Valencia when this happened.
