He was just angry at a dumb girl at the register. He has a crush on her. ;D

Crush part is my lie.
But he probably does have one. ;D
No biggie really. Incorrect prices and what I'm guessing was a rude cashier caused his anger (or deep feelings of Thrally lovin') to come out in the form of wishing her fired and imagining her wrapped around the wheels of a Mack truck.

Wishing for bad stuff to happen to Wal-Mart employees is a waste of wishes.

Geez. I'm guessing you had a bad day. All you needed to do was tell here that is what the peg said and you could show her, then she would have rung it up differently. Also they have to ID for anything chemical like super glue or even white out as kids have been getting high off of them.

I told her what the peg said, but she said it didn't have a sticker on the package so there was nothing she could do about it. (The Dusty had a $6.97 sticker on his.)
I didn't have a bad day, just a bad experience at WalMart.

Ah well that is BS then, her not doing a price check. Was there anyone besides your dad in line?

It was one of those things where I wouldn't buy it at full price, but at $3.50 how could I not.
Today ruined it for me, though.

Sounds to me like she was just fucking with you to be honest.
They can call to have someone run back and check what the price is on the shelf tag and then have a manager override it it's still ringing up at the incorrect price. (Of course, I've honestly never had a cashier not take my word for it when I've told them what the price is).
I don't get what difference it is if there's a sticker on the package or not. There are barely any figures at any of the Walmarts near me that actually have price tags on each individual figure. Usually that's reserved for stuff that has been marked down repeatedly.
Sure, it's only three bucks and some change, but it's the principle of it.
Now when you're trying to get stuff price matched...oh ho ho, don't get me started there!

I've never really had problems with price matching at Wally's.

Well, I've never had them not do it, it's just the irritation involved in getting them to do it.
I understand that there are a lot of people who are out there always trying to get one over to save a few bucks, but I don't have that kind of time to scheme and plan. I just want to go into a store, pick up what I want, pay, and then go the fuck home.
The last great debacle I had was when I tried to get the Jim Carrey "A Christmas Carol" back in December. The picture in the ad wasn't exactly the same as the slipcover (because the slipcover has a lenticular card glued to it) so the woman at the register didn't want to do the price match even though the ad itself described exactly what it was (3 Disc set: DVD, Blu-ray, & Blu-ray 3D Discs) and that's exactly what it was.
She took the ad over to a manager after studying it for (no exaggeration) just a shade under four minutes trying to decide what she wanted to do, and the manager took a quick glance at it and told her to do the price match.
So she comes back and does it, and I fucked up her world by giving her a $10 off coupon. Well! Now she has to make sure it's not expired, that's it's actually for the movie (even though the coupon also has a picture on it), that's it's not a figment of her imagination, et cetera...now I'm pretty patient for the most part, but I wanted to scream "Just fucking scan it! If it takes the ten bucks off it's a valid coupon, if it doesn't it's not! ^#^@!@^!!!"
She scans it and lo and behold it takes the ten bucks off. I pay and fucking hightail it out of there.

Damn, that's crazy. I've only done a thing or two, like milk when it was in the ad for Fry's but I wasn't going there. LOL Now I see where you're coming from. Well, I hope she gets fired and run over by a truck.

Just picked up the Copperhead/Shipwreck 2-pack, 25th Rock & Roll, Crimson Guard/Cobra Officer 2-pack, Tiger Force Duke and a ML Longshot for around thirty bucks. Really wanted that Copperhead as he's pretty representative of my original figure, the rest were impulse buys. But, like I said before, R&R was an original favorite, so I'm glad I got him. TF Duke looked pretty cool - better than more recent styles. The Cobra two-pack was $2.50, and so was Longshot. I really dug that character when he first came out. Don't ask me why, I dunno either, because all mullets should be lit like candles. But for less than 3 bucks I couldn't pass it up. And after seeing it, I really, really, really, want to get the Assault on Cobra Island box set.
