Heh.. well all's well in the end...

Manager called me back and sold me the display model for 10% off the Black Saturday price (which was >30% off the normal price), so I've got a TV for the bedroom now... heh. Prob could have weaseled some other $$ off, since it was missing the remote, but screw it... good enough deal for now.

Call 1-800-walmart and bitch about the service. Give them a line of how they wasted your time and gas and you had to settle for a display model that didn't even have the remote. You'll get at least a $50 gift card for your trouble.

I had an ex who worked in returns and she would tell me crazy stories about the free stuff they would give people if they called the head office to complain. People would bring in bikes that's hadn't been sold in years and walk out of the store with a brand new bike and a gift card. Or girls returning pregnancy tests because they were defective. There is no way they could be pregnant.

Well, the black friday sales are all about wasting people's time, just to get people into the store... and walmart's close enough that since my windshield was frosted over, I just walked (evn though I was planning to get a TV.

I gave up on Wal-Mart years ago. I do all my shopping at Target. The prices are a little higher but the customer service is great.

Our Wal Marts are 24 hours, but they "open" at 8am. The start of the "Wal Mart Day" is 8am, and that is when the sales start, not at 12:00 midnight.
