Me: My friends?
Her: Yeah, your friends that do what you do.
Me: I don't know who your talking about.
Her: Yeah, Ok
Me: I'm here to make a withdrawal.
Then she starts talking about the weather and how she can't wait until covid is over to be able to go to the movies again.
Me: ???
It's new rules every time I stop by this location and to think this use to be my #1 WM about 2 years ago.
Welcome to the wacky world of Walmart (or WWW). In this world, repetitive activity attracts attention and if it doesn't make sense to the CSRs who serve you (and your "friends"), then new "rules" get implemented that will impede your affairs, if they so choose to do so. (Fortunately, not all stores behave in this manner).
You can safely say that Walmart #4 is burned. Depending on how fast the staff turnover is, you are going to have to wait until the old crew goes and the new crew has forgotten about your previous history.
Unfortunately, your "friends" will continue to try and utilize this store, with the outcome being that no one will be able to use it.
I burned one WM in exactly the same fashion. Too much of the same thing that didn't make sense to the CSR. It took more than a year to bring it back on line (in a limited 2 swipe fashion).
This is exactly why I try to limit similar repetitive activities with the same CSRs at the same store. So far (after the first failure), so good.
