Walmart

The open door policy is a crock since I have had a nervous breakdown due solely to one of your assistant supervisors and am no longer mentally capable to enter my place of work and none of the other assistants or the main supervisor, whom has been replaced by another who I have not met and as i understand hasnt started work yet, have tried to speak with me over the phone or email or regular mail. So much for Walmart Family values within the associates branch. I am both mentally and physically capable of doing the job that I loved doing . My store number is 3770, stuart virginia. My lawyers and workmans comp have made a settlement, none of which I have seen a dime of and my family and my resources are nearly dwindled down to nothing, so that when or if my settlement comes in there will be nothing left to live on let . And still the original problem is there both mentally and physically and I have no way to take care of my family or myself. Thank you good people of walmart for your mental health and just plain human compassion for your associates. yours truely Bobby lee Gammons 3rd shift

My husand and I received an offer for a WalMart credit card for $100 limit. We paid our account off with them in 2008 and closed the account (so we were told). We didn't respond to the offer, didn't get a card in the mail, didn't activate it either. Next thing we know we get a bill in late August with a $45 balance on it. When I called to inquire and close the account (that I did not open) I was told the $45 was for credit card security dues and I had to call the company on the invoice to cancel that then, and only then, I could call WalMart back to close the account. On September 3rd I called the "credit card secuirty service" which was a Montgomery Ward recording and talked to "Linda" and had the dues rescinded. I was advised they would close the account through WalMart with no further hassle to me. Since that time I have received bills, collection calls and many a heartache being on the phone for many hours trying to get the problem resolved. I am told I need to call the credit card security company and when I call they tell me we aren't on their system anymore because they closed our account on September 3rd. It is now November 8th and I have received harassing phone calls and bills with late payment charges that now total approximately $65. I had a WalMart Customer Service Representative accuse me of cursing at her tonight when I did not. I also told the lady that I did not want to have problems with any of this showing up on my credit report. I have never been so harassed, pissed, mad, upset and put off by this kind of situation in my life. Interestingly, when I called last week on the 4th (yes this is a weekly thing) and again talked to the "credit card security company" the young lady I was with on the line decided to help me get this taken care of once and for all. She told me "they" would be upset when she conferenced a call with her, WalMart and myself together in order to take care of the problem. Needless to say once I identified to WalMart that the other party was on the phone with us she miraculously disappeared from the conversation. I was told tonight that the account had been closed but had a $45 balance and they were "investigating" the matter. I have to wonder what WalMart does with all the money from the people who pay these things without putting up the long fight or just not even checking the bill and paying it. Any suggestions any one? I am fed up and WalMart totally sucks in my eyes. I sure hope someone from WalMart sees this because there is no other way I can get through to those people.

After my order was rang up, I told the cashier I was using 2 debit cards. I showed the first card and said I need to put $50 on this card and the balance on another card. She said ok swipe the card. I swiped the card. The signature line appeared for me to sign. I asked the cashier, why didn't it show me to sign for only $50. She said she forgot to put it in. I explained to her that that is not what I had wanted. That I only had $50 to be removed from that card. She said well it went through so you must have it in there. I said yes, I do. But, that isn't what I wanted. I had other payments/checks that would be posted to the acct and if I spent more I would have bounced fees. She said, well we will have to re-ring it all up; I don't know what to do. A head cashier came over, she said again it went thru if you want to cancel we have to re-ring it. I said that's what needs to be done. The head cashier re-swiped my card and said it didn't go thru since I didn't sign anything. So, the items were re-rung and I paid $50 towards the $153 order and put the balance on my other card. When I got home, I called my bank and they said the original order for $153 was pending and so was the $50. My bank said I needed to go back to WalMart and have them call with a an authorization number to release the hold on my account; I couldn't do that. So, I went back to WalMart spoke with the assistant manager, politely told her what happened. She looked up my original receipt. In the meantime, the head cashier came over (the one that I had at the original transaction). I told her that the bank said it went through and that I was very upset. In the meantime, I had checks that would be pending on this account too and that bounced fees would be piling up. She and the assistant manager said there was nothing they could do for me. That WalMart doesn't get involved in my problems. MY PROBLEMS! They even said it was my fault that I chose my bank and it could take up to 30 days for my money to be returned into my account. I then got VERY UPSET! MY PROBLEM! I did get very upset then. I said who is going to pay for these fees; what am I suppose to do without my money, what happens if this transaction does go through and I am out the $153 plus the $50 that I did the second time. I asked if she would please call the banks 800 number to help me. She said no. Another man from management came over and told me to be quiet that it wasn't WalMarts fault that if I had been accurate in the first place there wouldn't be an issue. So now I am no longer the victim I am the problem. The three said it wasn't there problem it was mine and it was now between me and my bank! So who cares if the cashier made the original mistake. I stood there for an extra half hour trying to get this right and it is MY MONEY MY BANK and I am the customer. In these days, $153 is alot of money plus bank fees and the humiliation of returned fees that I can't afford to pay. BECAUSE WALMART CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR MANAGEMENT HAVE NO SKILLS TO ADMIT THEY MADE A MISTAKE NOR WOULD THEY EVEN TRY TO CORRECT IF FOR ME. I told them you want me to be quiet. I have been here 3 times in 2 hours due to your mistake not mine and now it's all my fault! I even told the head cashier you were standing there when the cashier admitted she made the mistake; now she sides with management and the -ell with me. I left there in such a terrible state of tears, humiliation and nausea.

I went to Smart Style Salon at 9:00am to get a relaxer so I could go to work that afternoon. I had to wait for the stylist because she came in to work wearing capris and wanted to buy some long pants in Walmart. I left and came back and the stylist was in the back of the store. She did not acknowledge me when I came in. I had to find her. She was not very friendly and she did not smile.

I spent three hours getting a relaxer, a blow dry and flat iron. She did not blow dry my hair all the way before applying heat from the flat iron, she over heated my hair with the flat iron, she did not use any styling tools when she blew dried my hair. By the time I left, my hair looked terrible. She did not even give me a style. You could not tell that I had been to the salon.

The stylist had the nerve to give me her card in case I wanted to come back after I complained that it took so long for nothing. I will never let this woman touch my hair again. She was unfriendly and did not know how to do her job.

Have been buying WalMart brand Arabica Bean Coffee for years and years so this month they make the can 6 oz smaller charge the same and change it to "roast" which is horrid coffee, it lacks flavor and I know it is cheaper. I used to be able to count on it but no more. Why don't they just say" Brand New, no flavor, cheaper coffee, now get less for more money!"
Also they don't carry frozen Welch's Cranberry Juice any more . Numerous other "good" items have disappeared.

I'd like to worn you about the walmart money card scam!
I decided to put money on to pay my bills, including electricity, phone, cell phone, water bill, and rest of my utility bills. I go to my local federal way walmart and bought a card.
I came home to try to activate it online and it wouldn't let me. So I then call them to ask and they said that my information doesn't match. I've had there card before with no problems. They say my information may not match and dont activate it. They said to allow 4-6 weeks for the check to come with the amount loaded. I paid $3 for the card, and the charged me $3.00 to send out check. I am so pissed and will never use walmart money cards again.
I know im not the only one and sure they are making intrest off my money. I am so frustrated now I have no money at all to pay my bills and have to wait for another month for my paycheck.
I at least wanted to go to my local walmart and get my money back and they wouldn't let me.
Boy, I hope you dont get scammed by the wal-mart money card : (

An update to the acer fraud, thievery and bogus warranty and walmart bogus warranty, fraud, false pretenses:

A customer "service" hateful, sarcastic voice woman at walmart asked what the story was regarding acer. I told her. She bore false witness! She stated that walmart has a 15 day warranty. I pointed out that is not true as you have not taken the product out of the package in 15 days and a flimsy piece of trash may last 15 days. A 15 day warranty is a sick, sick joke. It is worthless, hence, not a warrany! The hater of customers anti-service rep then said she has an acer and it works fine. I could tell that she was lying. Now that is some customer service! A lying hateful, sarcastic talking girl employed by walmart: typical. And overweight at that! Next time i'll tell her: "you believe in acer. Pay back the 313.00 that acer stole from me when they refused to honor their warranty; even asked for 169.00 on top of that! If you buy a vehicle for 20000, do you expect to pay an extra 12715.65 on top of that because the dealer forfeits his warranty while bearing false witness and insisting the vehicle is on warranty?!?!"
Learn from this, walmart! This happened: when sears-k-mart, nee k-mart tried to say the warranty had expired on one of their products, I showed the receipt. Even though it was "past warranty period", they let me replace it. The original only lasted less than 3 months. The replacement {same value; same price; same brand } lasted 15 years. This is good public relations, and, so long as sears hasn't corrupted k-mart, I will give k-mart a great deal of business and ask thousands of friends, loved ones, students, employees, customers and acquaintances to do likewise. But walmart has blatantly and obscenely proven that it knows nothing about customer relations; cares nothing about customer relatons; looks down upon you as a slave to be exploited and is condescending toward the people who pay their salaries and make wal-abominable possible to be a going concern!
Further proof is hiring a filthy pond # like that so-called "customer service representative". And, after that, she pointed again to the 15 day walmart warranty! What! Fifteen days and she lies and brings it up after I had already shot down that blaspheymy?!?!?! I mean, what a braindead dilldock!
In addition to that, I had the receipt. But walmart cares nothing about cutting their customers slack. An evil operation like that won't last long. Doubtless they are aspiring to be medieval barons with their goal to be for you to have no choice but to do business with them! They must think of themselves as medieval nobles who can do what they want to the serfs. Walmart looks at patrons as serfs; as worthless eaters. That's it! That's why they are so globalist and love the lying, internationalist propaganda put out by the press, the sorcerer sodomite shrinks, the actors, the scondrel politicians, the university professors, the public school superintendents - "the people that matter". That's what walmart is. And they'll go down. Read psalms, proverbs, revelation, etc. Wal-abominable will go down. Be sure your sin will find you out: numbers 32:23. For our god is a consuming fire: hebrews 12:29... And the abominable... Shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death: revelation 21:8

I was in the Walmart by my school the other day buying a couple items with my friends. As I was walking out of the store somebody came up behind me and told me to stop because I had stolen merchandise in my purse. I instantly stopped and started at the man because I knew he must be joking. However, he preceded to tell me that I had stolen a 5-hour energy drink from the store. I took out my receipt from the bag and showed him that I had purchased the energy drink that I had apparently "stolen." He then tried to tell me that I had another 5-hour energy in my purse that I had not purchased and that he was calling the police. So standing in front of Walmart, I poured the contents of my leather Diesel purse out on to the sidewalk to show him that in fact I had nothing stolen in my bag. Instead of just realizing his mistake, the man started to raise his voice at me and told me that he needed his merchandise back and that there was video footage of me putting a 5-hour energy drink into my purse. At this point I was just confused because there was nothing in my purse and he was still telling me that he was calling the police. He then made me walk into the store with him and show him where I picked up the drink that I had purchased. Once I showed him where I picked up the energy drink I bought, he said he could still call the police but he would let me go with a warning. A warning for what?! I did nothing wrong! The whole situation was embarrassing and strange. Needless to say, I will never shop at a Walmart store again.

Classic bait and switch pricing. Online, Walmart offers (in this particular instance) a replacement Optical Drive Model#: 1270VI for home computers at $38.54 they also offer you the ability to check a local store to see if they have them in stock. Needing an optical burner drive to complete a project I checked to see if my local Walmart store had one in stock. Yes they did. Needing this drive I drove down to the Walmart store in Matteson, IL. Where to my shock I found the exact same drive offered online. Only this exact same unit was shelf priced at $49.95. Needing the device and having spent the time and money to drive to the store I was compelled to purchase it there. A huge 25% price increase over the online price. The item is offered on the web with no mention of additional costs, just the friendly link to show that it is available at 4 local stores... Offering an item at a price is advertising, when you get to the location and they will not honor the advertising is FALSE ADVERTISING. This practice doesn't really fall into the bait and switch catagory because they have the nerve to offer the EXACT SAME item. They will not honor their own deceptive advertising. They WILL offer to order you one of the units. (Exactly the same as the one on the shelf...) But it will take 7 to 10 days to be shipped in to the store. If I had wanted to order one online and get it in 2 days I would have picked a proper internet retailer. Other retailers that follow this same bait and switch pricing are: Best Buy. Retailers that honor web advertising are: Tiger Direct, CompUSA

My car was vandalized in a Walmart parking lot and I can't get security to respond. No one seems to know who heads security and phone calls are not returned. The police are waiting for me to file a vandalism report, but Walmart needs to be contacted also. Perhaps a security camera picked up something since the lot has cameras. I am also concerned that they won't bother to review the tapes given that they are not responding to phone calls and email.

Walmartstores.com (the online store) basically cheated me out of my purchases. I had downloaded dozens of Mp3's several years ago which no longer play on my computer because Walmart changed something with the licensing.

When I try to play them I get a message that the "Windows Media Player can't play this file, " etc. Then the message instructs me to go to my Walmart mp3 download account page, sign in, install the download manager (which I already did), and select "authorize this computer" which, it says, is "required." Except there is no "authorize this computer" option anywhere on the page.

I remember reading somewhere online that Walmart simply told its customers who had downloaded music from their website before a certain date (the date before they made their licensing change, or whatever) that they were basically SOL, so to speak. When I tried to email Walmart customer support, after taking ten minutes to fill out the required fields and describe my complaint, I got an error message saying that the transmission of my email failed. There was no explanation for the error and no information how to correct it. So I clicked around the site for another customer service link and went through the whole process again, only to be informed by another pop-up message that I had not filled out all of the required fields. True, there was one required field that I did not fill out, but that was because the box was grayed-out and unresponsive, no matter how many times I clicked on it.

It really seems as though Walmart is trying their best to screw over their customers and hide from being held accountable. I would think they would have it in their power to restore my downloaded mp3's that I paid GOOD MONEY for, or at least refund me. It honestly feels like they've comittednnothing short of theft. If they don't fix this problem I will NEVER download music from them again. I will also tell everyone I know not to patronize their business, tweet my dissatisfaction to the world, and go on every blog and website I can find in order to diss them. They deserve it, the greedy corporate ###.

Store manager would not let me cancel my order and get a refund on an item that I am still waiting for three weeks for. I was guaranteed 7-10 days but still has not got here. So, went in the store the customer service online says I have a right to cancel my order and get a refund. Store manager and staff were very rude and thought it was a joke and denied me my refund. Told me that when the item was actually in the store they'll cancel it and refund. Made a joke about me being on disabilty and being a Veteran! Told them I would notify attorney and other Veterans about this and they said go ahead we don't really care and laughed! Do bnot do buisness with Walmart in Randleman NC!

I started working at Wal Mart in 2001. The pay was great, the benefits were awesome, and the employees were hard-working, sensible people. I had to quit in 2007 to take care of my sick father. 2 years later, I returned, only to find out they would not re-hire me because of a background check they started in 2004. I had a misdemeanor charge in 1999, when I was 18. I am still in the system as "re-hireable", yet they won't let me come back because of a minor charge I got when I was 18. Now, they hire felons for huge tax breaks, but if you have a misdemeanor, you're screwed. I wasted 6 years working 40-70 hours a week for this company. I started as a cashier and left a salaried assistant manager. It makes me sad to know that they have taken away all the great profit sharing and retirement benefits they once offered. Now, all they hire is part time bums who do nothing, while screwing all the full time associates that have put 10+ years into learning the business. Sam Walton would be so disapointed.

I have never put words to paper regarding my Mother's untimely death but after 20 years and a month I thought it might be a good release...

Following my Mother's death in 1990, my family spent 10 long years in both state and federal courts fighting for rights of consumers and the reasonable security they are owed when visiting a retail store such as Walmart. Not only did Walmart's legal team deny that my Mother was anywhere near there store when she had receipts from their store the day of her death, they also argued that they had no responsibility for her or anyone else's safety on their premises. Using the clout that a corporation of their size has, they were able to be dismissed from our case. While I understand the goals of any corporation, I deplore the efforts of Walmart's legal team who hid evidence and skirted the law in order to free Walmart from any legal obligation they had at the time of my Mother's murder.

I have not bought a single item from this God forsaken company since the day my Mother left us.

I understand that life isn't fair, and that "fair" is nothing but a festival that comes once a year. But I also believe in karma, and those who err on the wrong side of it are only waiting for karma to come full circle.

I was walking through Walmart yesterday and I was looking at dog treats and I heard this screaming noise like a little animal and I looked under the shelf and there was a mouse stuck on a glue trap trying to get off and it was screaming! This was extremely disturbing especially since I love animals so much. I almost got physically sick! I can't believe that they would use those things instead of a normal quick trap to kill mice. What if it was a curious little kid looking under the shelf...anyone could've heard this. I didn't know what to do and I thought about it all day...couldn't get the image out of my head! I don't know if I will ever go to Walmart again! I would've taken a picture but that seemed morbid and I couldn't look at it again...made me want to cry.

My 14 month old child's foot got stuck in the grocery cart at walmart. It took 3 manager people, three regular workers and a bolt cutter to get her out.
She's okay now. She's going to have a pretty big bruise around her right ankle and some soreness. We were grocery shopping and everything was fine for about 45 minutes, and then my husband says, "Oh my god dude!" and I look ...down and see that SOMEHOW she's stuck her foot in between the little bars beside the leg hole. (kind of like -> |__||, her foot was in the small part.) So we try to pop the foot out of the hole, but it's obviously hurting her each time we try. Then we're getting frustrated so I suggest we go to a department and ask them to call a manager. We end up in jewelery and the old lady is like "Oh my goodness!" And calls for a manager, and an assistant manager lady and a CSM (?) lady comes over and we try to use some lotion. All that managed to do was get them and my daughter slippery. My toddler is pretty calm this entire time except when we're trying to slip her foot out, it was pretty amazing. Then they called for ANOTHER manager, and this tall guy manager and another dept. manager come over and the tall one says, "Oh, I know! We'll use the bolt cutters!" So he calls yet another guy to come bring the bolt cutters over and we're attracting a small crowd at this point. Finally the last guy comes over with the bolt cutters (and a shopping cart guy for some reason) and he has an expression on his face like he's terrified. Well, they end up cutting one of the bars off, but had some difficulty doing that. The bar wasn't wanting to come off so they had to twist and shake it some which meant that it was tightening up on her poor little ankle and that's when she really began bawling, but by that time it was all over and she settled quickly.

Apparently this had happened before which is how the manager knew to use the cutters. They never asked me to fill out a complaint (which I wish I had now!) and I never thought to at the moment because I was obviously upset over my child being hurt. She could have been hurt worse, a broken or sprained ankle, what if her circulation had been cut off? Her poor foot was turning an off-shade of her natural skin-tone. I'd have photos of the bruises, but I haven't been able to take a picture yet since it was bedtime by the time we came home.

Saturday, September 25, 2010, I had a prescription (Glipizide ER XL 5mg TAB) filled at your pharmacy. However, I discovered that the Glipizide that I was given on Saturday was not the medicine I had been taking. Upon my discovery, I returned to the pharmacy with what I thought was the wrong medicine. At this time, I was told that the Glipizide that I was given on Saturday was the correct medicine. However, the Glipizide that I had been taking for 5 months was not the Glipizide that I was given on Saturday, September 25, 2010. For 5 months I was given the wrong medicine. Because the numbers corresponded, I was told that I had the correct medicine. This is not true. An error of this magnitude is inconceivable. A mistake as serious as this should not be overlooked. Mistakes like this should not happen. Also on Monday, September 27, 2010, I once again returned to the pharmacy to speak with the manager. Ms. Wollanso Boschulte was no help. Her attitude was as if this mistake did not happen. Ms. Boschulte acted as if I did not know what I was talking about. Ms. Boschulte told me that when I left the store that would be the end of the situation because I did not have any more of the pills remaining. But for 5 months I was taking a Glipizide that did not resemble the medicine I was given on Saturday. In all the years that I have had prescriptions filled, I have never been given the wrong medicine. This incident should be thoroughly investigated. This is just unforgivable. I can no longer trust Wal-Mart Pharmacy to safely fill my prescriptions.
