Grinch sighted in Hilo, Hawaii, leaving for Whoville,

I was finishing, setting up my Christmas light display today. It's pretty
nice. I've Santa and a Snowman standing in a sleigh, being pulled by eight
reindeer connected with a blue light rope and on one side and one that
alternates green and red, it looks like they are flying, arc-like upward,
connected to the eaves. I put different walls of six strings of lights
operated by controllers that put on a twenty-seven minute light show of 18,
90 second patterns. There is a wall each in front, side and back. Three
trees each in front ,back and are decorated, one is a Norfolk pine and has
lighted ornements and canes, with lighted tube packages around it.
Everything comes on with photo-cells and timers.

Most of it, I've collected the last couple of years, on sale, just before
and after Christmas; at Sears, Ace and WALMART. Last year I bought six
controllers at WALMART. I opened them this year and half of them didn't
work.

So, to flesh things out a bit I needed a few more strings of lights to add
on to the show. I checked out Sears and there wasn't much left. The next
closest place was either the new Home Depot, opened this week, or WALMART
across the street.

I went to WALMART and found the lights that I needed and was checking out of
the store. I felt a fuzzy touch on my right ear, and a flash of green out
of the side of eye and I turned around. There was the GRINCH in WALMART and
he was giving me the MOON. Well, I MOONED the s.o.b. back and kicked him
between the legs and the last that I saw of him he was flying somewhere over
toward Whoville.

I don't mean to sound harsh but why would you buy from Wal Mart? Many
times local merchants offer superior merchandise at comparable or even lower
prices. Well, Wal Mart has screwed the mom and pop stores, yeah, the ones
that built your city, and you helped them by your patronage by trying to
save a buck. Okay, they took the mom and pop store. They got you too. So
what's your point? I mean you got what you deserved; sad to say you probably
got offf easy, next time may they nail your A$$ to the wall and take you to
the cleaners!

To the RGO, my sincerest apologies for my outburst. Mea culpa.

I hope they can straighten this out--when desperate, demand to speak to
the manager, and kick up a fuss until you do.

Several years ago, my husband and I went out for a very expensive
dinner ($$$$), and when the bill hit the VISA card, it had been charged
multiple times. Of course, we dragged in VISA, and the restaurant said
that they had made an error and would reverse the charges. In fact,
they did not, and it took months of phone calls, emails, and letters to
correct the situation.

Exactly the reason to pay with a credit card!

There is an implied warrantee with CC purchases. If you gripe in writing,
they will temporarily drop the charge from your card, ask the vendor to
resolve the issue (while charging them a "chargeback fee"), and if it is not
resolved, you do not pay.

Sounds like the grinch could ware a Walmart vest. In writing
delivered to both Bank and Walmart. State that this is the charge
for the purchase and these are the errors. Start with the Bank
for a reversal and a reason. Go to WalMart management with the
demand as well but you may get it back from the bank first. It
could be a stolen ID case so watch for other charges you did not
make.

It's been a really rotten week or so lately but that is not
justification for me to be the Grinch. I should have said when making
payments on lay-a-way items make sure you get a receipt and of course save
it. Like I'm organized? But in spite of that, get the receipts, staple them
together, envelope them but save them. Hope you can get it straightened out.

I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, to live here one needs to purchase
everything at the low end of the scale, unfortunately Walmart is the only
discount store in town, I do try to avoid them whenever possible.

No problem, Walmart recognizes the layaway, but can't figure the subsequent
