Question for people who have problems at Wal Mart

I want to know for those of you who have had problems at Wal Mart. Did the ones who gave you trouble have a sign up for NSNSNS or have no sign?

I ask because the Wal Mart i used to go to out of town had the sign but a new one in my local town does not have a sign so maybe they dont have that rule?
My town has no NSNSNS signs except for McDonalds which is the only drive through that has one.

 

Don't go to walmart!!!!

 

Some McDonalds that have the NSNSNS signs still serve you when you're barefoot...

 

No, the Walmart that gave me a big hassle did not have signs posted. Then, when I was confronted by this bitch manager, she refused to show me where in the store's manuals there was a written prohibition against customers with bare feet.

So in other words, she's a liar. Why on earth would someone who was telling the truth not come out with the proof of what they were saying?

I did not look real hard for a sign at the WalMart that tried to give me the bum's rush for barefeet. If they did have a sign, it would have been relatively hard to find it.

I was in WalMart about 3 months ago and spent some time with a clerk looking for something they did not have. I was barefoot that time and had absolutely no problems with store personnel.

I don't know if this is a new manager with an upwardly mobile nose or what but things seemed different this time.

Again, I have not been furnished with the store policy prohibiting bare feet in the store and the manager promised she would send this information to me after I gave her my name, phone number and address.

Been a week now and I am still awaiting the store policy.

I have received documentation along the lines of if the store requires one to have footwear, they legally take it upon themselves to cover any problems arising from difficulties you may have in their establishment when you wear prescribed footwear.

Legally this becomes a nightmare for them as most merchants want to get as far away from responsibility for liabilities related to customer behavior as possible.

 

Send a letter to this manager and ask where the promised "policy" is. Specify that you have awaited it patiently, all the while shopping at more barefoot-friendly businesses. Mention to her that if she fails to reply, you'll just have to mention your dealings with her when you seek an answer from corporate headquarters, in an effort to understand why you were told you could not shop at Walmart.

One would hope that corporate suits will be concerned that managers are turning away business especially if they DON'T have a real policy against bare feet.

And any person in the corporate hierarchy who claims to be familiar with the insurance policies that cover Walmart (or any business) will have to be honest that there is NOTHING in such policies that say Walmart wouldn't be covered if a barefoot customer got injured.

If they say, "Our insurance policy won't cover us if you get hurt," say,
"OH. You've actually read your store's insurance policy? Wow. It's rare that employees get so involved in the legalese. Would you mind showing me your copy, so I can see for myself in black and white where your policy makes this provision? What's that? You don't have a copy of the policy? Did you lose the one you say you've read? What's that? You haven't read the policy? Then how on earth do you know what it says well enough to cite certain parts for me like the one about how you're not covered for my bare feet?"

There's NO REASON AT ALL to protect a LIAR from being made to feel like they're being called a liar. They should feel it, and it should sting.

If such concern were rational and legitimate, merchants would be terrified of any woman coming in wearing high heeled shoes. They are FAR more likely to suffer injuries than barefoot customers are.
