The inconvenience that is Wal-Mart

Ok, so I was hanging out with some friends a couple days before Christmas. They were going over to WalMart to get a couple gifts so i figured i would go along since i needed to get something for my brother anyway. I bought the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight" and when i went to pay for it, for some reason they gave me a $5 gift card. I didn't want it in the first place since i hate going to WalMart and only do so if my friends have to go, and i usually dont buy anything anyways so this gift card is just a waste. But i figure ok, cool, there will probably be some random time i will use this. So, i get home, throw the gift card where ever, and wrap the movie. Well, i turned out my brother had just bought The Dark Knight. Sooooo, I go back over to WalMart yesterday to return the movie. Now, i was already pissed that i had to spend more time in WalMart, but when i try to return the movie the girl asks "Do you have the gift card?". I'm thinking, WTF? Then i remember the stupid $5 gift card that I DIDNT EVEN WANT. Apparently you need to have it to return the movie. I go back home to try to find it, and of course i dont know where i put it because i didnt think it was going to be that big of a deal. Now my options are, either keep the movie (im not a big fan of Batman movies), tear apart the house to find the damn gift card, or try to give them a five dollar bill in place of the gift card. Looks like im going to be tearing thru the house, i WILL NOT pay WalMart an extra $5 for something i didnt want in the first place. Oh, and this isnt the end. I go back to WalMart after a quick search for the card at my house. I was going to see my brother last night anyways so i wanted to give him his belated present then instead of having to drive out to St Louis Park. So, i find another movie "Burn After Reading" and i go to the self check out to pay for it. I only the movie to pay for so i figured it would be quick. Nope, wrong. I scan the movie and some message pops up saying something about an employee having to log in. So, a girl comes over to put in the code or whatever. After she does that its supposed to go back to shopper mode so that i can pay. you think this happens? NOPE! the damn machine goes retarded and it takes a good 5 minutes for the girl to get it back to shopper mode. Have I found the gift card yet? NOPE. am i still out $20? YUP. THANKS WALMART!
