"Try Me"

This event that I am about to recap for you is in full dedication to my cousin Jodee Egbert. She had posted a "Walmartism" on her blog a few days ago about a question that was asked from a walmart employee to her. Well, now it is my turn to share. I am thinking of starting a whole other blog specifically to "walmartisms". ok, here's how it plays out. Well, I ran up to my walmart marketplace to grab some items for dinner. While standing at the check out line waiting my turn I noticed a rack of california scents car fresheners. On it it says, "Try Me'' with a scratch sticker so that I could smell it before I purchased it. I liked it so I threw it with my stuff. Well, my checker lady was scanning my stuff when she came acrossed my airfreshener. She scanned it then stopped, looked at it and looked at me and said, "Now this is free right?" So me being a smarty pants like her says that it is free and they are doing a special promotion right now. I was totally teasing her as I thought she was me, trying to be funny. Yeah, well she says in return, "yeah I thought that because it said "try me" on it". Again, I think she is being funny, you know, making conversation. She pushes a button on her computer and I pay. I get home and pull out my receipt and low and behold.........my airfreshener had been scanned and then voided from the transaction. SHE WAS SERIOUS!!! She thought that it was free because it said "try me" on it. My sides were splitting I was laughing so hard. I called up to the manager at the store, (my soul is not worth an airfreshener) and explained what had happened and he could not believe it. He was so embarraced. He told me to keep the airfreshener and he would go and discuss with this lady that the "try me " sticker does not mean it is free. It means to smell it. Oh, my! You have to be a special breed to work at walmart. . That was for you Jodee.
