Walmart
Reviews and Complaints

It shouldn’t matter what Walmart my bottle return sips came from when returned as long as it’s Walmart just like any other return this is [censored]

My complaint is about your store in general, your workers are idiots. I bought myself an xbox headset and the package looked open to begin with but i said screw it it obviously works if they are selling it to me. It was junk and i brought it back. I upgraded to a pair of turtle beachs this time and this box looked like it had been open too. I asked the lady about it and she said oh we dont put open items back on the shelf..yeah okay. This time the wire that it came with had a broken end to i had to spend extra money for an adapter, that pretty scumbagish to sell broken ### thats been opened. especially when i can tell its been opened right from the get go.

how about not excepting any large water bottle that wall mart sells, gladly take your money for deposit but doesnt want to give it back.

the walmart at clearfield Pa. sucks . i went there to try and find some boots for my boys and wouldn't you know it all they had was a lot of shoes for girls and woman, witch averaged about 85% of their shoe department. for men and boys all they had was cheap sneakers and work boots. no winter or hiking boots. then i went to their sporting goods department witch is another joke, most of the stuff they carry is junk or stuff people don't use. it is bad enough we only have 2 other sporting goods stores in clearfield, witch are overpriced as is. needless to say, they carry what they want, but not much of what we need. if you ask someone to try and find something in back all they do is go have a smoke. but some of the people that work there are really nice, but they are the ones that are left go.

Well you were being payed to be at your work station, And you are only allowed the alloted breaks, And the company does get alot of crap about poor service, And there are others that would gladly fill the position.

some advice, , , the next job you have you need to realize that, No matter how fast you are, if you are not at your work station you are of no value to them,

2nd..taking longer at breaks weather it is 2min, or 2 hrs...it is called time theft, which means you are clocking full days hours when in fact you are not working a full day, , Kinda like fraud...just an observation.

Re 1 year battery without a reciept
I just tried to bring my 1 year old dead battery in without a reciept to NaziMart, no go on doing anything for me, the one lady says well even if you have a reciept you'd still have to go through energiser cause we only have a 90 return policy ! So i went to lordco and bought one :) At least the reciept is big enuff that you can read it :)

Certainly WalMart has some sort of regulations that keep track of returned or refunded items. I can't believe the employees just throw things away. Because then 'Bob and Jim' and others like them could pull scams as explained in the story.

I don't think WalMart became the ultimate giant mega-store it is by letting employees pull such 'easy' scams.

I have a car battery to exchange (not refund) that is only a year old. I also cannot find my receipt. I am hoping my WalMart treats me better than LakerFan210's WalMart.

Cry Baby! Store Policy Clearly Written at ALL walmart stores is ALL RETURNS MUST HAVE A RECEIPT. See what this does is eliminate situations like the followuiing... Jim and Bill are best friends! Jim works at walmart and Bill is currently unemployed. Bill and jim come up with a scam that whenever a customer (that has a receipt) returns a battery for warranty, Jim will put the battery out back behind the dumpster, and then Bill can then pick up the battery and enter the store and just show up without a receipt and get his money back! NOW DOES THAT SOUND LOGICAL TO YOU! Man now Bill doesnt need a job, he just waits for Jim to put those batteries behind the dumpster so he can collect his pay check! HAHAHAHAHA

We live in Palm Desert Ca and the Super Wal-Mart on highway 111 in La Quinta has always had bad meat. Even their Walmart branded cans of vegetables are short weighted. We have since switched to WinCo and we love it. Prices are better and the staff SPEAK ENGLISH whereas at Wal-mart your lucky to find someone who can answer a simple question.

Walmart is one big bullseye for every woman who have children with PROBLEMS... These 'mothers', who have a pshchologically-impaired, dysfunctional ego and paranoid psychotic mentally-imbalanced problem themselves, must SHARE their unfortunate life with the public... and Walmart is the place for them to do it. They bring in these children and CUT THEM LOOSE... and when someone, anyone, customer, and especially someone who is an employee there, says ANYTHING at all, then that is the mothers' psychological VENTING opportunity to SHARE with everyone, and she "gets-it-off" with all the gusto that she can expound. ... Happens daily. ... Watch for it... Sometimes very 'entertaining'.

Hi there. I work at the enid walmart and have a daughter with asperger's. I, personally will talk to the store manager about the situation. I am deeply sorry for this. It breaks my heart. As fir Lori she no longer works for the enid walmart. Mel does and I will talk to her. please feel free to email me or talk to me. I am the photo lab manager and safety team leader. Email at helenlazcano@yahoo.com. Hope to hear from you.

Agreed, the Wal-Mart associate should have kept her mouth shut and her opinions to herself, but maybe your daughter should have tried to get Charlie to wear shorts or some article of clothing while shopping out in a public place. Not everyone will know Charlie has problems but will see an obvious 5 year old out in public basically indecent and in diapers. I find myself thinking it's ridiculous to see a child about 4-5 years old with a bottle or pacifier. I'm sure I would have felt the same way if I saw Charlie in a store unclothed and wearing a diaper with no bottoms on.

I worked there also and had a male employee as I am a female start harrassing me sexuall. So in result I told the assistant store manager and they did nothing. Their solution was putting me working the same hours as him where I had to go back and forth from his department. Finally I spoke up and told him he needs to figure out where to place me because I do not want to work with this employee and his answer...well stockers work everywhere he won't bother you. So I did the next best thing and decided it was time to leave. Mind you I only worked there for maybe 3 weeks.

I and my husband both bought cell phones @ Walmart in store. I live in Vermont, and I just wanted a phone to access certain things and stay connected. So within the first three months I missed calls and didn't think anything of it until I was waiting for a very important call and realized the phone wasn't ringing. It's a defect and then contacted the care plan company assurion.. It was then I was informed that since I didn't break the phone, and it was under one years time, it falls under the manufacturers warrantee.

I then called a different number and they told me I had to ship it back to them. What was I suppose to do without a phone then? Not there problem, so I explained it was unacceptable and then was assured that if I had another arraign talk phone I could transfer my current service, which is what I did. The next day I received an email, alerting me that a refurbished phone was on the way. I contacted straighttalk that night, online chat. I explained that my phone had a defect, it wasn't broken, or damaged by my own doing and a refurbished (used) phone isn't part of my purchase contract since I'm not obligate to accept a less than purchased replacement. I get a claim number...and then promised someone will contact me from corporate. No one has and it's been 4 days,
When I purchased this phone I purchased a care plan, sold by walmarts sales person and told it will cover all issue accept lost or stolen issues additional to manufacturers warrantee. Lie . So now I have a refurbished phone I don't want, and using an outdated phone prevents me from checking my emails and Important calendar events etcetera . Now what? So even though they told me I was covered, apparently that's not true if you purchased a defective product. False advertising and fraud.

We had 42 inch Hanspree TV that would not have video at times when turned on. We called Walmart
product care and a box and UPS shipping label was sent to us in December 2013. This was during the Christmas rush when UPS got behind schedule. After a few days, our TV was returned to us unrepaired and now had a busted screen.The warranty company, which is New, said that they do not repair broken screens. We told them that we did not send it broken and that it must have been broken in shipment by UPS. They told us to file a claim with UPS, who in turn told us that since we were not the ones who initiated the shipping label we could not file the claim. After hours of talking to many different people at New asking them to file a claim, we finally talked to a man named Rick who told us that New would not file the claim with UPS and further that New would not honor the warranty. We now have a broken TV and worst than that, a broken trust in Walmart product care. Don't buy extended warranties from Walmart.

I was gifted a hp laptop and a 2year product care plan from wal-mart.

Well I had the product from the end of March 2007 to around September 2009. the plan kicked in late march 2008. This is a terrible warranty they contract to repair centers that can't repair your product their service centers also don't listen or double check, run the proper diagnostics send proper replacement parts" which melt inside your machine". Sure it is easy to call in and place a service order But I had Four separate cases where my product returned as damaged as before not fix or they couldn't replicate the problem. Then I had to send my belongings in to the center.

These cases took up to two months to get threw. I even talked with a Manager that said they would have the problem looked at which never happened when it was shipped it was a waste of my time. So before it becomes a waste of your time really think about the hp, dell, ext extended plan by calling them.

At this point my care factor is very low for buying things from wal-mart also for anyone that fights on wal-mart behalf my care factor to hear you isn't there I REALLY don't care. This is just a review on what they sell.

I got a reimbursement but it was after calling in so many times the plans not worth the stress that comes with it. If you did buy it and got reimbursed good for you I bought a upgrade to my old laptop.

Now I found this online its dated 2007 but i really doubt that it has changed at all.

The reply from New Customer Service is Bull. They post to make themselves look good. I have had the same problems with Walmart Product Care, which is actually N.E.W. I purchased an ipod and the warranty
from Walmart Product Care, aka, N.E.W. Shame on Walmart for partnering with this disreputable company.
Walmart has lost this customer.

Please email us at help@newcorp.com with the name and phone number you used to register your claim. Once we hear from you, we can reach out with a resolution.

Sincerely,

I can't believe what I am reading about the issues that customers were having with their 42" Vizio TV's.. I am having almost the same exact problems 3-4 years later. My TV is a bit over 2 years old, and one day as I watching TV the power turned off and from there on, it has been terrible. I have power to the TV, but it wil not turn on.
Called Walmart on 10/28/12, and told the Customer Service Department the problem, and she scheduled for a company by the name of ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL SERVICES in St. Petersburg, Fl to call me in which they did to tell me that it was not necessary for a tech. to come out, since he believed he knew what the problem was, and that he ordered the part the same day. That day was October 29th, 2012. Today is now November 13, 2012. Advanced did not call me back to tell me that the ordered placed on the 29th was not in stock, and that it wasn't until 11/01/12 that once again the part was ordered, this time from apparently a different place. I still wait!
Back to Walkmart Customer Service----the rep. that you talk to on the phone keeps telling me that they can only do so much. That I agree on, but when the Supervisors for the Product Plan does nothing, but says, we(meaning me) have to wait, until it comes in, then he's no better. You wouuld think that the Supervisor would do more! Find another TV repair shop that would be able to get this done!
Only suggestions that I have for all of you out there, especially you southwest/central Floridians, don't buy a Vizio, however if you should, don't by the extended warranty at Walmart. and if you do and there is problems with the TV that require parts, be prepared to wait, and wait, and wait.
ADVABCED TECHNOLOGICAL SERVICES doesn't care about us, the consumer.

My husband & I visited a Savannah Wal-Mart last Friday, we shopped & checked out &left when we got home we were missing several items we had purchased. I then called back to Wal-Mart's to ask if we had left bags there & did someone turn them in/ they informed me they were there & I would need to bring my receipt & return to get them. I asked if my daughter could pick them up for me because she lives in Savannah, they told me they must have the receipt. We live in Clifton, Tn & I thought that would save me a trip (however they did not care I had to make another trip the next day). I returned to Wal-Mart the next day & went to the service desk to pick up the items with my receipt, The lady was very nice but told me items had been put up. I then had to go all thru the store to locate these items & return to the service desk.
We also had other items we had got but I am sure the person behind us got them because they were not on our receipt, before leaving the check-out line I asked the lady if that was everything & she said yes.We spend a lot of money at Wal-Mart's & this disgusted me, Wal-Mart is not for family or I would not have to go thru all that trouble after having a brain hemmorage & having to do all this again.I cannot drive yet due to my condition so my husband had to made the same trip also--gas from Clifton to Savannah is not cheap-then back to Savannah gas is not cheap.The other item we got no telling what happened to them. Wal-Mart, I will not visit you as often now.

My problems in above paragraph.

I wish I had read these comments before I purchased a Vizio 42" Flat Screen and also Wal-Mart's Product Plan August 9, 2009. My problems began November 25 with no picture. I did nave sound, but that went out on the 18th of December. Repairman sent out and main board ordered. Problem not solved with the replacement of the main board. Now I am told set needs Inverter Boards. My compaints sound like others. I too have been told they are on back order. Call in 3 to 5 days 0r call in 7 to 10 days. Here it is Jan 1, 2010 and I have no TV. I am a senior citizen on oxygen and depend on TV for news and entertainment for I am home bound most of the time.
I have also contacted Vizio and in so many words told that once the product is made, any problems should be handled through the extended warranty purchased. Isn't it sad that companies no longer take pride in their finished product? Did Henry Ford turn his back on problems and say to the new owners of his automobiles who had problems, "It's yours now, you take care of it." No, thank goodness. He took pride in his product.
I an a retired educator of 38 years and have had lots of patience until I started dealing with this problem. I am ready for a check in the amount I paid to be given to me and this "lemon" picked up.

Where can you find the details about what is and what is not covered under this plan? They sure make it difficult to find this info on the web!

Ok now today I find out that Walmart has lowered my credit line from 500.00 to a measley 100.00 and I am damn mad. Anyone had this same problem? They are chastizing me for using what I paid for and that is payment protection. I spoke with customer service today and the first guy lied to me and told me that no manager was there to speak with me, until I finally hung up and called back and spoke with Micheal who is a manager who said that one thing had nothing to do with the other, YEAH RIGHT! Take my word for it, take out the payment protection, God forbid you have to use it, then they walk all over you and cancel your credit line. ###! WalMart takes your money for the payment protection and then they take almost a year to actually pay off your balance then punish you by making you send in one document after another after another after another and you get so damn frustrated and often they loose your paperwork (I believe conveniently) and make you resend the same paperwork in again and you keep on waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting, then after 8 months they do pay off your balance as of the date you lost your job but what they LIE TO YOU ABOUT IS THEY PUNISH YOU FOR IT! THEY ARE a liar, and a JOKE! I am going to scream until someone hears me! How can they say they reviewed my file and decided to lower my credit line and lie and say it has nothing to do with me filing (and complaining to BBB/consumer affairs) and even said that it was just coinencidence that they cut my credit line now that I have used what was my right to start with (and plus I had been paying for----PAYMENT PROTECTION). I had tried many times to get an increase in my line just before this all happened and kept getting turned down. WHY DIDN'T THEY LOWER MY CREDIT LIMIT THEN?

I have an idea ... what if everyone who came in contact with each other inside the store has to be nice ... no matter what ...
I know it is a concept some can not do but maybe it should be a law because on both sides we have some down right nasty people

I was hired as a seasonal employee. I have to say that as of tonight i was told that i was no longer needed with the season being over and I am happy to have been let go. I was hired December 4, 2012 so I only worked there a little under a month and i swear it felt like a month from hell! I was hired on the third shift which is 10pm til 7am and I must say that there is a monstrous Shift Manager named Sam that is seriously in need of training on so many levels. This person (I refuse to cal him a man since he doesn't even act as a decent human being) is rude towards employees and customers alike. His authoritative decree is that third shift should be deaf mute lemmings. We are not allowed to help customers because " we are stockers". If we assist a customer he considers us not doing our job, although i went through two and a half days of CBL's which are computerized tests that stated "Customers are always right" and "Customers come first". Apparently that is only for the first and second shift associates as I was told. Sam is mean, rude, condescending, embarrassing and will put a person down for no reason at all. I actually asked a few of the associates why he was so mean and why it seemed as if he had it out for me. I was told that my first mistake was being nice to him because he saw me as an easy target. I feel so sorry for alot of the employees that i got to know because if he treats them half as bad as he treated me then they are going to have to live in pure hell. I cannot stress enough just how horrible this particular work environment was. I have never in my life been so belittled and humiliated while working my ### off for a company. The location i worked at is Lansdowne Station in Baltimore, Maryland. I would suggest that if anyone attempts to get a job there that you do not under any circumstances apply for the third shift. I was warned on my first day that there had been a multitude of complaints against this man, and I asked then why is he still there? I was not given a response, just a look. I guess I should have asked who were the complaints from and what were they in reference to. I can honestly say that i shall never work for this location ever again unless major changes were made (which I can almost guarantee that won't happen) and I will have to make a big decision as to whether or not I will ever shop at this location again. I will say this much, while defying the ludicrous demands of not helping customers, I enjoyed every single customer that I encountered and never found any to be rude or mean.

I would like to know if you work the night shift and you have a supervisor from 11:00 til 8:00 how can a day supervisor come in and tell you that you have to do something and it"s your time to go home?

i was employeed at this company for around 1yr. i was expected to carry my entire depts work load for all 3 shifts. and unload trucks. and "bin" the merch. which is scan in merch into steal using a hand held computer. I was attacked by another employee in the dairy cooler. i was squated down putting bacon in bottom bins which is where it should goe because of being a raw food. a second shift employee who had worked that day and left at 10ish. came back in at 115am went into the dairy cooler sneaked up from behind me and wraped his arm around my neck pulling me to my feet (while choking the bejezzuz out of me) screamed in my ear "give me all of your f***ing money". i elbowed him in the stomach. and ran to the manager. told him what happened and who did it. The entire situation was ignored for 6weeks. i had to continue to work with him an hour every day. walmart tried to shove this situation under the rug because said employees mother is a dept manager and is activly engaged in a sexual relationship with a higher up mngr. so go figure i had to get home office involved. causing said employee to be fired. and the beginning of totally treating me like dirt. i did not envoke or friend or even have anything to do before or after with the ### that choked me. i eventually quit because of choker guy still came into store and stocked me nightly. they wouldnt even make him leave. because oh he is just shopping. he would watch me work for hrs on end never buy anything. so f*** WALLY WORLD UP THERE ###! they really let the ball fall on me.

@tasha09... this complaint is 3 years old... why bother?

My wife worked foe walmart for YRS they went super center hired BLACK WIDOW to come in and run all the full time workers out of store.

Walmart store, MANY LA

Funny thing is walmart treats the customers better than they treat their employees i am an employee and I've been one for five years and they treat you like slaves. when you work for walmart you're just a number literally. They treat you like ###. Being in walmart at night is like being in a suffocation tent. the air goes off and it's stale air you're breathing in with all the germs and crap too. the vents don't get cleaned so you're breathing in dirty air but when you call off they give you all hell cause you're suppose to be a slave to them but when they call off it's alright. the people who work their ### off for this company get treated like ### but the people who call off and don't show up on a day to day basis get employee of the month. ###ed up right. I was the nicest person you could find before i employed with walmart now i try to stay the same but it's hard when you've got managers telling you five different things and breathing down your back you'd be grumpy too. I'm from a small town but within 30 miles of my home I've got 5-6 walmarts and it's like they're taking all the economy away. they suck up the money and when the area is dry and dead they move on! I'm not gonna say walmart sucks cause there's a lot of positive things about it but there's more non-positive things about walmart than meets the eye!

i don't mind wallieworld wife works there the employees for the most part only do there jobs i have seen people treat people working there so bad and blaming them for the Co. policy and the Co. treats the employees bad bad hour threats of write up even for an honest mistake one time all employees got wrote up when a customer stole something no one helped them just a shoplifter took it off the floor she was not even working we were on vacation that week and they still wrote her up she is not a manager just an hourly worker been there awhile and they call her on vacation days off cause they need help change her hours after posting then write up for not being there on time one lady i now was threaten job if did not stop talking about her treatment on Facebook to her Facebook friends of 45 people the cut back in hours the cut back in employees i have never worked for a Co. that a family ins. policy did not cover family wall marts does not cover spouse unless you pay very high amount then it has to be the worst on the planet well see if they do something for me writing this

the problem with walmart as i have experienced it, ( i work for walmart) is they hire friends of a friend and they reward those lazy ### workers for being lazy and not doing the job that this FRIEND who is in management got them hired to do. So that poor unsuspecting soul who gets hired in to do the same job, who is not a friend of any of the managers, or assistant managers there seems to be 6 to 8 assistants needed to run 1 store. God only knows why that is needed hummm... maybe the store manager could answer that only he or she wont speak about that because, well lets face it it makes their job easier and there is more people to blame ### on. Anyway that 1 employee who believes in an honest days work, gets to do all the work in that dept. while the friends of the manager, get to walk around with a shopping cart and will blatently say "I'm not doin that i don't care what our supervisor said."' all day, or send text messages to the boss who happens to be the one who got them hired in the first place. So if there happens to be a complaint from a customer about their service, maybe the employees are trying soooo hard to keep a somewhat level head and not loose control, that it is hard to be happy and smiling all the time. Imagine if every time up walked into work you had to climb a hill, watch your back and carry 3 people just to get your lousey minimum wage paycheck, while you watch the others backstab, text and kiss ### with your boss and get the pat on the back, when you are working for all of them to get the job done and trying to keep the customers happy.

f*** walmart you killed my dog a husky you ### walmart knew hartz flea and tick drops were 99% poison they did not warn me I am out $800.00 plus the lose of my dog walmart says they are not responsable there were over 33, 000 deaths from this product this is no 100% sat guarntee they tell me to go to hartz thats wrong please go to hartz problem, or hartz victim .com this product him in two days

I have my daughter prescription glass from walmart their advice to return on the 14th happpened to be closed because its sunday, so i went the next day monday i spoke to this lady is on the phone and asked us to wait we had our dinner at the store and finally went back to asked about the eyeglass, her response is she dont know when the eyeglass is going to come and she dont have idea when its going to come an atitude thats better said than telling us when to call or advise. this type of services is really poor and walmart should designate someone who is educated to handle costumer service. this lady at the visoin center in san leandro should undergo a costumer service seminar. poor attitude and manner towards costumer.

DO NOT BUY FOIL WALMART VISA GIFT CARDS! Unless you like throwing away $50 and $100 at a time to companies who make their money by stealing from Americans! That may be their American Dream, but not ours.

I just opened a Walmart visa gift card
'Gold' $50 02.13.2010. IT was given to me by my sister for Xmas. I finally remembered to bring it today and happened to open it at the customer service department right in front of them. IT WAS EMPTY INSIDE except for the paper cardholder agreement! THERE WAS NO CARD! They said they could do nothing at all! NOT even a phone call. I had to get my sister's receipt for the gift card and take it to the store it was purchased from was all they said they could tell me. IT WAS EMPTY; how can I prove it was never IN there, I asked them? You are my witness, I said.

So I went home already knowing how this is going to turn out. I called the given number on the foil package and the inside card agreement at 9PM at night and of course they were supposedly inundated with calls at that moment and had me hold (music)and then eventually they hung up on me. So what do we do when the public is being stolen from by Walmart and GE Finance Banking $50 and $100 at a time? That's a lot of money, America! I guess the only choice is the Better Business Bureau, and of course our local news channel. It's our only recourse!

Honest, Single Mom in AZ.

I had been given a written 'coaching' for something that had nothing to do with why I was terminated. The written occurred on 28 Oct 2008. Then on 20 Nov 2008, I was called to the management office where I was met by two Assistant Managers. One informed me that I was being terminated for not taking a break on 11-10 & 11-14, and that I had taken personal items to the area that I worked in.

I seldomly missed taking a break and sometimes when I did I did so in my assigned area. Even though I told the Assistant Managers that I did take a break, when I used the facilities, got a drink, took medications or sat in the area without doing work. Then I was informed on 11-20 that I had to be out of the area for 15 minutes, that I could not take breaks in the area.

Additionally I told them why I was carrying my personal bag, but one retorted '...you're not suppose to have any personal items. You were seen eating Yogurt (I don't eat yogurt), drinking and getting spray from your bag.' I again explained, what I had done and yes I did have snacks but not yogurt and I did get spray from my bag. The spray was Fabreze, I had been using it ever since I was there as a matter of fact the day associate had been using Oust in the area which I can't handle with my asthma. She said Fabreze would be fine. I retrieved the bottle from my bag because the one we had in the area was empty. I sprayed it and exchanged it for the empty bottle.

The store's Loss Protection individual made copies from the security films, which were dated and timed, showing me performing my assigned responsibilities in my work area. It also showed that I had taken my 'personal' bag, which had my various medications, snacks and a small bottle of room spray.

I had taken my personal bag with me since an episode in the break room in October that made me feel insecure with leaving my stuff in there and the fact that I had multiple medications, some which were used in a nebulizing machine that was also in this area.

On multiple occasions, various Assistant Managers as well as the Store Manager, Co-Manager and other individuals witnessed me taking my personal bag to my work area. None of these individuals questioned why. None said...'don't do that.' I must add that there are no CBL's or specific written guidelines for this area. Its a judgment call as far as I am concerned. Especially since others in this area had since I've been assigned there doing what I had done.

In the time that I was in the area I and others assigned there had been taking breaks in the area, using spray and eating snacks. But that wasn't the way it was suppose to be...according to the Assistant Manager on the 20th. I had done what the others had been doing but I am the only one fired.

Yes it is true that I had a written for something that had nothing to do with the reason listed on the termination sheet. But I feel that the WM corporate office was pissed off because: 1) they had to pay overtime because the local managers failed to enter 8 hours on my work week in the appropriate week 1 of the schedule, thus making week 2 go into overtime; 2) that ever since I had been in that area I had clocked out when my work was done, sometimes 15 minutes early--no one said I could not do this and it did not become an issue until after the 28 Oct 2008 written was issue; 3) that corporate wanted to separate me because of the Oct incident but they had to tred lightly and were thus 'gunning' for me.

I must note that after the Assistant Manager terminated me, she told me to make sure I re-apply in 6 months. Now I find out WM is fighting my unemployment claim.

I have been a shopper at Wal-Mart probably since they have opened up here in Houston. There used to be a time when you wanted to check out it did not take 45 minutes. The store here in Houston, at Almeda, has got to be the worst on here in Houston. I went in today and they only had 2 (yes 2) check out lanes and 1 self checkout line open. Needless to say they had at least 7 peaple in each of them. I went to buy some cigerates and she asked me for my ID, I am 55 years old, and (I wish I did), but I do not look 25 or less. She would not sell them to me until I went to my car & got my ID. Them she would only ring up 1 pack at a time instead of all 3 packs, and I had to pay for each one individually. I will not shop at that store again. I hope for the other peaple that shop there it gets better. I will waste some of the precise gas and go the 2 extra miles to one of the other stores.

First of all, the opticians, NOT the doctors, generally order trial pairs of contact lenses. The real purpose of trial contact lenses are for the doctor to give to the patient at the time of the eye exam for the patient to try. All of the doctors that are in Wal-Mart Vision Centers are independent, licensed, fully insured doctors of optometry (OD), and DO NOT WORK FOR WAL-MART! (Depending on the state the vision center is located, and the laws in effect for that state). After the patient returns for their follow-up (if needed), which is also complimentary, within a reasonable amount of time, it is the patients responsibility to purchase their boxes of contact lenses. Second, trial contacts are FREE. Granted, you may have to wait if the trial contacts are not stocked by the store, but they are complimentary. It is NOT up to the opticians or the eye doctor to give out OR order free trials to patients once the contact lens rx has been finalized because people fail to purchase their contact lenses.

walmart vision center eye doctors are a bunch of quacks! they cant even order trial pairs on contacts like normal dr office...you may have to wait longer and paid a tad more at a real eye doctor but its so worth it if they actually know what the hell they are doing!

Walmart is notorious for coaching people for not knowing that they have been doing something wrong, even though supervisors never made the duties clear to them in the first place, or in some cases, gave them wrong information entirely. They also will not give you any feedback on a daily basis to let you know if you've made a mistake or aren't working fast enough, etc. They will tell you a week or 2 later when they are giving you the verbal or written coaching, thus making sure you are unable to fix the problem before being reprimanded for it. They will ALWAYS take the supervisor's word for things over yours even if they are in the wrong. If you explain health issues to them, they will act like they understand and will say they are willing to work with you to help you keep your job, but will turn around and use those very issues against you first chance they get. I was just fired 3 days ago due to my health problems, and was told I was rehirable in 31 days. (I can have a part-time job, they say.) Yeah, that will pay the bills. In short, no matter how hard you work, no matter how few mistakes you make, it will never be fast enough, hard enough or perfect enough for Walmart.

walmart[or any other store, for that matter]is only as good as the idiots they hire to wrok for them! They need to TRAIN THEIR EMPLOYEES!

well i am a 9 year assoc. for walmart and i do see alot of what you are saying.my car was damaged while i was inside working by there dang shopping carts and no one wants to help me.i have never had any problems with anyone nor have i violated any of there stupid policeys i have never missed of day of work

By the way, they told me to re-apply in 30 days...jan 11 is when i did...still, waiting.

I feel for you. I really do! I was terminated, separated, let go, fired, back in December 08. I was a meal exception, too many times! Yea, I know. I should have been watching the clock . But you see, that's not me. I cannot leave things undone. I tried to perfect too much. I was a hell of an employee. As I am sure most of us are. When I first started there, someone once said to me, "why are you working so hard? Nobody will notice you." I was not even "working" that hard. Its my nature...hence...my email address. Then I realized, the home office doesn't give a crap what you do. Even some of the assistant mgrs. and Co mgrs. don't really care either. Just as long as you are not making "them" look bad! Maybe I wasn't meant to be there in the first place. "They" contested my UI, 30 days, exactly, after I applied. Christmas was well, non existent. Finally, two months later I recieved UI. Now, just a few days ago, I get a letter stating "Please be advised that the Commissioner has withdrawn the determination...blah, blah, blah. I called the UI office...Walmart is contesting again. I have been taking my dog, sick with cancer, to the vet. I have a huge bill due. How am I going to pay for that? This "Satan" from Arkansas is disgusting! The way the employee's are treated is so damn disrespectful! We may as well all be cattle. If I could stop people from shopping there, I would. After all, 99% of the time I am looking for something, it's not there! I don't know what else to say other than Walmart... If Sam Walton were alive, this kind of crap would not happen. This is NOT what he wanted! Walmart...you suck!

This is happening more at Walmart. I put it up to clerical error in the past, but when they look up the mystery item with a weird description ( usually 19.98 or around 20.00,) nothing matches it. The only way I can see around this is to make more trips there for fewer items each time. Walmart counts on people making huge weekly purchases, making people less likely to check receipts right away. You have 30 days for a return, so you can return you nonexistent item and get a real item. Walmart system rings items up with the wrong item number, another way they overcharge you. And the have the ---- to check our receipts? They are stealing from us. They have theft insurance for shoplifters; they want you to think theft is the only reason their prices are through the roof.

Clarksville, IN Walmart. I just so happen to look at my receipt and notice I was over charged. I purchased 12 cans of dog food for 68 cents each and 1 bottle of grape juice for $3.98, they(Walmart) charged me for 12 bottles of $3.98 juice and 1 can of 68 cent dog food. this is not the first time it has happen, I just never think anything about it till this last visit, only God knows how much money is being taken by Walmart from the customers whom never look ate receipt. 09/18/2017

I bought 6 curtains at Walmart in Alexandria, VA. The cashier charged me for 7, when I asked her to correct the charges, she was very rude and was not willing to correct her mistake. She keeps telling me to go to customer service, which had a much longer line of people waiting than the cashier line. Walmart need to train the cashiers not to overcharge.
Pissed off customer.

When Wal-Mart initially installed the self-checkout, they had staff standing by to help the customers (until they would work out the quirks in their new system). I ran my card once. The clerk had to come over to help, as they were having to help with many of the customers who were checking out at the new self-checkout systems. She went to run the card again. I said, 'I've already swiped it' (in my gut I immediately was leary that it could charge me again for the second swipe). She said it was ok. When she'd swiped it again, she still could not get the transaction completed. There was no problem with my account; as I had more than ample money in my checking to cover my purchase, plus overdraft protection anyway. After the second time with the system stalling (or whatever the problem was), she wanted to swipe it again. I told her that I needed to be sure it doesn't charge me again. She said, 'Oh, it won't.' Somehow, in my gut, I just had a feeling it might be charging me for every swipe. Altogether, she swiped it 3 times. She finally got the transaction to complete, and handed me the receipt. I always use the debit feature, to come straight from my checking balance; so the accounting available balance is instant, whereas a credit takes numerous days to process through the system. When she handed me my receipt I was charged around $300, rather than what should have been around $90 for the merchandise, which I could see initially on my receipt had this amount. It's like it charged that and then added the additional amount because it had been triple swiped. The total charge was simply around the $300.

I thought to myself that this will be a simple transaction that can be momentarily corrected. I pointed the total out to her and that it had triple charged me and that I needed the 2 extra charges credit back to my account. She tried to 'play around with the system' for just a short bit, to no avail. Then, when she, obviously, didn't know what to do, she told me I'd 'have to get my bank to take care of that.' I've been with the same bank for 20 years; and I knew that this was not the banks place to correct. I also knew that if I'VE submission of my security passcode that the bank honors whatever charge has been deducted from my account. I told her I have to have this credited back to my account before I leave the store.

I asked for a supervisor to come and correct the transaction. The cashier supervisor 'played around' with the system for a while longer than the cashier, but couldn't get it corrected. My teen was with me and she was an athlete with a busy, tight schedule between school athletics and her high school courses. By this point, we'd been at the cash stand for a half an hour. I'm thinking that I have to prepare dinner, and my daughter has homework to do and we need to get home. We usually liked to have at least a little quality time in the evening to just chill together outside the routine daily demands. Then I told them that I need to get home to do things and I needed a manager who could get this reconciled.

A manager came, and between the 3 of them, it took another 2 hours to finally get the error corrected, and a receipt in my hand where they had credited my debit card for the 2 extra charges from my checking account. I'd shopped at Wal-Mart a lot and spent quite a bit of money there, as much as $5, 000 or more each year. I was so disgusted from this incident it was over 2 months before I went back to any Wal-mart; and then it was late evening when something unexpected came up that we had to have, and no place else was open. I'd like to add that I was very leary at the beginning of this transaction error because I'd had a previous problem with a phone-in pizza order. In this instance the girl over the phone was having problems with the system where she kept asking me to repeat my bank card number, because she was 'having some problem with the computer.' I'd asked her if she was running it back through and that I needed to make sure it didn't charge me repetitively. She said no, there would be no charge until she had finalized the transaction. I've used my bank card for so long that I also knew that the bank has a computerized security feature. If my bank's computer identified an out of the norm attempt on my debit card, it will reject a transaction. Then, if I had an emergency, or needed to get gas, I could be stuck not being able to use my bank card until I follow up with the bank to advise them that my card is safe. When I got my bank statement, I was actually triple charged for the pizza. I'd called the pizza restaurant and spoke to the manager, who pulled the transaction in the system and readily could see what had happened. He promptly credited me the 2 extra charges and gave me a confirmation. Always make sure you get receipts, and or confirmation numbers (if a phone transaction), and the name and phone number of the agent handling the matter. I learned from these two experiences: follow your gut and do not simply take the word of a store clerk, particularly with Wal-Mart. They are often not well trained and simply do not know. You must protect yourself by ensuring that your personal monies are in tact.

since you were given the 19.74 price what is your gripe?

I'm glad I work at a terrific Wal-Mart! Although in 2 years I have NEVER seen a debit card charge for each swipe! But, the quick remedy for that would have been to call a Customer Service Manager and he/she could have just voided the whole transaction and returned your overpayment.

I understand that you have wasted your time. Besides the waste of time i dont see any other big issues here. As humans people do make faults. And i think she could have been a new employee and she was just learning to use the machines and Walmart system i think. But any how, no offence to you dear author. I have been mischarged and stuff in the past. But i took care of it in a timely manner without a hitch. Nobody is at fault here. What happened to you is an accident. People do get into accidents and i believe its no ones fault, because nobody plans that they should crash into this person at this place at this time today. After all, as human beings, how can we live if we dont cooperate with each other.
