Wal-Mart Troubles

For the record - my wifes maiden name is Reed... Judging from her family - it's probably a relative. On the other hand - I did a few of those things back in my K-Mart days

--

My wife received this letter from Walmart!

Dear Mrs. Reed,

Over the past six months, your husband, Mr. Jim Reed has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this type of behavior and have considered banning the entire family from shopping in any of our stores. We have documented all incidents on our video surveillance equipment. Three of our clerks are attending counseling from the trouble your husband has caused. All complaints against Mr. Reed have been compiled and are listed below.

15 Things Mr. Reed has done while his spouse is shopping:


  1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.
  2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
  3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the restrooms.
  4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares..... and watched what happened.

  6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
  7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.
  8. September 23: When a clerk asks if they can help him, he begins to cry and asks, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"
  9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, and picked his nose.
  10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are.
  11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
  12. December 6: In the auto department, practiced his "Madonna look" using different size funnels.
  13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people were browsing through, yelled "PICK ME!", "PICK ME!"
  14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed the fetal position and screamed "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"


    (And; last, but not least!)


  15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door and waited a while; then, yelled, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"
