Best Retail Store Stories (Non-Fish Related)

One summer several years ago, my dad had the great idea to go to meijers at 2am for chlorine tabs for the pool. The "floor walkers" like to follow me around like I'm gonna steal something. I had my doo rag on with hair down to the middle of my back. I was wearing a muscle tee with my multiple tattoos showing. I admit I do look a little suspect wandering aimlessly through the store at 2am. I got separated from my pops and had 3 or 4 people come up to me and ask if I needed any help(really anoying). The last person who came up to me had a name tag on and was wearing a radio on her belt. At this point I had enough of being followed! I replied quickly "I'm looking for my dad. he has the early stages of alzheimers and likes to eat paint."... She said "OMG!!"..and grabbed her radio and ran off. I went around the end of the isle with the pool chemical and saw my dad with an open bucket of 3" chlorine tabs smelling them to make sure they were fresh ... We put the tabs in the cart and made our way to check out and all of the employees were gawking and staring..It was all I could do to keep a straight face ... I didn't tell pops until we were almost home !!!!

Hhaha, thats funny. When you saw him, you should have ducked back into the aisle and let an employee find him with his head in a chlorine bucket.

When I go into walmart to buy my weekly supply of shrimp for my fish I usually walk out with 5 bags. A few months ago they had a sale though so I walked out with 14 bags and nothing else. The cashier was looking at me kinda of funny. What? can't someone buy 14 bags a shrimp without any odd looks lol ;-0
Like come on this is walmart I'm sure there is a lot more weird stuff that goes on there.

I also buy my shrimp and fillets from Walmart. I have a lot of hob filters. Instead of buying replacement filters I buy activated carbon,green scrubbies and ladies nylons for holding the carbon. They look rather disturbed when I go there and buy six pairs of queen size panty hose. I don't know if they think I'm gonna put them over my head and rob someone or if I'm getting ready for Rupaul's drag race.....

Once I went to Taco Bell and the lady at the cash register didn't know how to use it.. after 5 minutes of trying to open it she asked my friends and I if any of us had used a cash register. We said no and after about 10 minutes she admitted that she is usually a cook but the cash register worker didn't show up today. We had to wait like 20 minutes till she finally called her manager.
