wow Irsa, i don't know what to say sorry you had to go thru all this hassle...

[krysta lynne]

what the f***? this is awful. absolutely awful. this needs to go to head office and these people need to get the boot. i am appalled that you had to deal with this bullsh**.

[galliefamily]

I cannot believe what a run around you had... I hope you report all these people.

I'm confused what happened. I also tried to do $ off 1 item and B1G1 free off that, and was denied at walmart, and when I did the Nivea $2 off + Lipbalm at walmart I was told that its not that item because it's scanning less regular than the coupon, and I just left without and was thinking ok so many people on this board got it, why can't I. But can't lose sleep over a lipbalm.

It's rude of them to ignore you and accuse you of fraud, I would complain to HO about that.

[Marteli]

OMG !!! I can't bealive you went through that !!! i'm so sorry to hear it .. you definitlly should call HO and let htem know that their staff needs to be trained and more respectful.

[irsakhan]

not same not i had gone through some problem before and call HO they said store manager will call you from 2 diffrent stores oshawa and toronto they call and oshawa store manager said sorry for trouble and toronto one till waiting for his 2nd reply since he said he willinvestigate it and return call it has been 3 months . but still will try to HO this time again

I must have missed something - I re-read that at least ten times, and hear no evidence of racism. If someone else read that and saw the racism in what happened, please, explain it to me.

I can appreciate English isn't your first language, but if you are going to accuse multiple employees in an organization of racism, you (IMHO) have an ethical obligation to back it up with an intelligent, coherent explanation. If I posted that I received awful service at WalMart because they hire immigrants, I would hope the members would demand a reasonable explanation of how I came to that conclusion.

I am guessing (guessing because I didn't understand 80% of what you posted) you received bad service at Wal Mart - but no racism.

Unless you have proof that every single white SmartCanuck always receives excellent service at Wal Mart - and has never had an issue with printed coupons, overages, SCOP, Rain Cheques - or simply getting an employee to help you find something - there is no racism here.

I do believe the title of the thread is in the form of a question. She's asking if it was racism. Key word: "asking".

Although her case may not have been racism, the way a person dresses or looks does affect the way they are treated by store employees...unfortunately.

I've seen many store employees act friendly and helpful towards "white" people, and a few minutes later when a visible minority comes to their cash, their mood drastically changes and they become difficult.

I see where Isra is coming from, although reading her post was very difficult to follow as it was basically 3 very long sentences.lol
