What was the last thing you did for play or fun?

Apparently the prompt generator really wants to provoke Walmart stories this week. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

If you are catching this blog for the first time, welcome. You’re coming in on day 2 of what is turning out to be a pretty epic Walmart series. Part one can be opened in a separate tab if-you-click-here

After writing yesterday’s prompt- I ended up on the phone with my brother. Occasionally, I will read him the daily blog post while he is driving all over the earth. It just so happens, the last thing I did for fun was LAUGH SO HARD I CRIED at the wonderful Walmart Experience shared by my elder sibling.

He got the joy of experiencing the wrath of a holiday receipt checker. 🤣😂

As is customary throughout the lower fourth-eight, Walmart features enhanced security with at least 2 receipt checkers. They are backed up by Walmart security. In addition there is one extremely bored local rookie cop who’s getting paid overtime to sit outside in their car and swipe Tinder.

You see, this cop is so bored because you have the horned-jacks of Loss Prevention that will stop at no receipt, literally.

Picture this… im laying on the couch in my blanket hoodie trying to will the motivation to get a shower. It was about noon-something when I finished yesterday’s post. (Yes, these posts sometimes take 3 hours to write). The phone rings. I tell Siri to answer the damned thing and it’s my brother. I haven’t heard from him in 24 hours, meaning that the first question out of my mouth to the person I usually talk to daily was, “What the fork happened to you yesterday?”

He had gone into Walmart to purchase three items- milk, toilet paper and Christmas lights. Upon becoming the MVP of yet another self checkout machine, my brother elected to not take his receipt.

The receipt checker skips the guy in front of my brother and targets him because of the Christmas lights. My brother refuses to show him the receipt and continues to walk out the door. He makes it out the door and into the parking lot before the second loss prevention guy runs out of the door and cart snatches him. My brother then proceeds to chase loss prevention man back into Walmart while being a loudly disgruntled paying customer.

The loss prevention dude proceeds to retort attempting to place blame on my brother for stealing. This endures for about 10 minutes before my brother blurts out,

“The fucking slip is right over there on the register. I didn’t pick it up because I don’t need extra trash loafing around my car!”

This is exactly where I lost it, dead to rights in forking tears. I understand fully the frustration and shear asshole tone that was assigned to my brothers statement. It was more than enough to prompt loss prevention dude into going to look. I promise he felt really stupid when he saw the receipt and had to let my brother go.

Have you ever experienced anything like this?

Lemme hear your Walmart stories in the comments. Let make comedy gold!!!
