Walmart Would Like You To Know That They Accept All Forms Of Debit

By December 21, 2007

Meg: Accepted?
Ben: it must mean they take all forms of debit
Meg: Yep.
Meg: I can’t post typo things though. Too hypocritical.
Meg: I’d have to write, “Further proof that Walmart’s grammar is only marginally better than my own.”
Ben: aw
Ben: then the terrorists have already won

That doesn’t even look like a word. [Writing on the Wal]

    @Pylon83: Specifically, that is where legal tender comes in versus something else – if you incur a debt by contract (even a sales purchase) without any contravening clause then they must accept cash, but still can refuse credit.

    @Pylon83: I essentially agree. It is not “illegal” not to accept CC/Debit Card even if one is contractually committed to doing so. One may have a third party beneficiary claim etc. It is not worth the time to assert such claims. The best thing is to report the violation to Visa/Mastercard.

    @UCLAJason:
    Obviously though, it would be worthwhile to aggregate such claims into a class action at times.

    @UCLAJason:

    It is the basic difference between public law (the statutes as well as private rights to sue under the statutes) and the private law of contracts. You can breach a contract and pay the price for such a breach, and while it is essentially in some ways a breach of trust (a subjective ethical question), it is not illegal.

    Maybe theoretically they accept all debit but my debit card never works on their stupid terminals at my local store.

    what ever happened to Spell check? Or better yet, some decent schooling would be nice.

    Maybe they meant expected? I use my CC everywhere so I can rack up points.

    This isn’t that much worse than Chick-fil-A’s BRILLIANT slogan to recruit employees: Never Work Sunday’s Again.
