Have you been to the fairly new Walmart distribution center near Albuquerque? It was being built when I lived there for a short while.
I've been there. That's the place that caused me to stop shopping at Walmart unless absolutely necessary. There's a half hr line that stretches to the road to get to the guard shack so you can get a door assignment.... only they couldn't give me one b/c one of the 57 pcs of paper they have to fill out had the wrong number on it or something. So then I went around back and waited in the line to talk to the receiving people and she told me that she'd call me on the cb when I got a door. An hour later she called me in and told me what door to back into and then asked if I was going to unload it or pay Walmart to. I told her I guessed I'd pay walmart to. She said it would be $30.
I backed in to the door and unhooked to pull into the bobtail area. Two and a half hrs later they told me on the cb that it was unloaded to come in a get the paperwork. I asked the woman to sign a receipt so I could get reimbursed and she said she wasn't signing anything. So I told her she wasn't getting pd and went back out to call dispatch. They told me to pay her with a TCH check and I wouldn't need a receipt. I pd with the TCH check and found that there was a receipt that she hadn't bothered to mention included already.
I will not miss pulling a van....
Geez
