Walmart
reviews and complaints

I was at the Wal-Mart in Severn Maryland located at George Claus Blvd, and decided to purchase a meal from the hot bar. The hot bar located in the front of the store had old food, no one was attending the front and when I called for assistance was continually ignored by the Deli Manager Patty. I was later informed that Patty is an extreme racist and refuses to replenish the hot bar when customers of color are waiting to be served. I find this behavior totally unacceptable. I was later informed that she is a prone to insult her employees of color and the store manager is aware of the problem and finds it acceptable. Being a customer of color I refuse to purchase anything from her department, but when I went to the Subways the treatment was twenty times worst. The foreign employees of India and South America descent are totally hostile towards any American that wants to place an order with them. The food is thrown together and basically thrown at you, and when they take your money when you pay for your order it is recounted at least five times when the correct amount is given. Their treatment of the American customers makes you not want to shop there.

WE were having a thanksgiving get together. I was required to bring the snacks. There was a sign that said buy 3 packs of chips for $8. Well we only needed five packs. I was charged almost $15 for five packs of chips. I told them that this is false advertising. I told them that they should be charging $2.66 per package instead of $3.17. They then showed me a receipt where I was charged $3.17 for the first two packages and told me that it was already calculated and I was only charged $1.66 for the third bag, yet for bag four and five I was charged $3.17. They told me that if I bought a sixth package then I would get the sale price. At this point my 12 year old daughter interupped and I told her to shut up or she would have to stay home alone when we went to my sister's for thanksgiving. Needless to say we had to return the two packages because they were ripping off. I asked for their skanning code of pratise and they said it did not apply since the price was not wrong. I told them the price was wrong, they refused to budge. This incident made me so angry that when my 2 year old had a dirty diaper I slapped him. Several people called the pigs(cops) on me and they visited my home during thanksgiving. They asked my daughter if this happened and because she was still angry at me(two days later) she told them yes that I had slapped my son for having a dirty diaper. My husband backed me up and said that never happened but they belived my daughter and those other people and threatened to have my children(though I did not touch my daughter) put in a foster home and me sent to anger management.

I was percriped 25 mg of IMITREX, I recieved 50mg . I took the medication not knowing the amount was wrong. I did have a bad reaction to the 50 mg. I went to Walmart and told them about the doses is wrong. I recieved the correct dose for free (value of $17.38) and a $25.00 gift card and a "I'm Sorry". I am not happy and considering moving my family to another pharmacy.

i witnessed a Walmart black woman employee strip searching a black 8 year old girl in the womens public bathroom at Walmart in saint paul Minnesota. DEAD SERIOUSE NO JOKE! This made me sick to my stomach and i felt like going insaine! i felt so upset and scared for that poor child. i wanted to cry! the black woman was forcing this girl to be complatly naked in the bathroom stall with the door open where every one walking by could see her naked. the child had this sad scared look on her face. the little girl told me she was being forced to be naked infront of that woman strip searching her. and that employee had no reason to force that poor girl to be naked...the female child was wearing a purple pants and a purple long sleeve shirt. but i didn't ge the chance to tell the operator the color of the child clothes so the police could find that poor girl and protect her from being sexually abused. i never give out my name or phone number when i make 911 calls to report people abusing children or other adults. it's for my own safety.

i had to deal with a really weird female operator on 911 call. i hate 911 operators they are so weird and stupid most of the time.

Ive had my card for several years now. I use it for online and travel purchases. This gives me a bit of comfort knowing the loss of funds is limited should there be any issues of a lost/stolen card or unauthorized pruchese(s). After all this time to have text alerts flood my phone through several weeks and replying with the message -stop (as instructed in such cases) I got no releif. I called the cutomer service center sereral times was told they did not show a text alert request from me on file nor did they find any evidence that I had signed up for text alerts through any online partner method. But they did see and confirm that text messages were being sent and the stop replies coming in to the sysytem were sneding confirmations. It was - to my puzzment- suggested on one of my calls to the CSRs office that I contact my phone provider to block the texting. In my exghuastion I did make that call. The block was placed and the text continued. On my final call the CRS told me that he had cancelled my card to stop the texting and then aked me if I was interested in Direct Deposit!? WTH.

My wife was grocery shopping at the local Walmart and when she went to check out and pay by check the machine refused to accept the check. The claim was it couldn't read the check. We waited until the next set of checks came in and the first one in that set was accepted, but then it refused the rest.. If we go anywhere else the checks will cash, no problem. We always have more than sufficient funds so can't figure out why. I sent a complaint to corporate, but now i know what everyone means about they don't care. They lost a ton of business, I was going to spend more on needed items but they screwed themselves. This is a heads up for all the consumers and a up yours to Walmart. Thanks for your time people

I'm looking to contact Internet On The Go MiFi users who have seen their usage on their 'account overview' dramatically increase when you are absolutely sure that you haven't dramatically increased your usage, but maybe only slightly or moderately increased it. I'm talking about a strange, unexpected doubling, near doubling or more of your usual usage amounts.

If you've had such experience, I urge you to begin keeping a detailed log of when you turn on/off your device and ip addresses and amounts of usage reported to you on the mifi.admin page.

I only use mine for sporadic surfing on a desktop machine, so it's easy for me to keep a detailed log, however, if you are using multiple devices, are carrying the device with you and using it for long periods, this log keeping may be really difficult. Of course, this is something that could work to their advantage.

At first, I had trouble keeping a log manually, so I created a program that I click on when I turn the box on or off, that records the date/time/ip/usage to a txt file. I've been logging for a month now (1 wk manually - 3wks with program) and compared it to the 'account overview' provided by them.

The first thing I discovered, is just how really difficult it is to read and comprehend their 'overview'. The first 2 mos of use on my recent overview shows many (0 MB) entries, one after another next to each other. I've deduced after looking at an old overview that I saved after just the first month's use that these are really usages of less than 1MB. My old overview I saved shows .3MB, .6MB, .7MB, etc. where now each entry of the same exact time shows 0MB. This is confusing and makes no sense.

Now, to add to this confusion, two months since joining them, since mid june, there are no more (0 MB) entries being logged. None. There are now multiple (1 MB) entries being logged. Some of them are just 3 minutes apart.

Sorry, but I just don't surf that fast ... not even close. MAYBE if I run across a couple of large photos on one webpage, it might happen, but that is rare ... SUPER rare. This is because I use a literally bare-bones, stripped-down browser that only downloads the html in compressed gzip file formats with no css, javascript, cookie files or anything else and I surf with all graphics off and then decide when I read the page, IF I want to download and look at any of the pictures on it. This takes my downloading down to an absolute minimum, and I love it that way and I've been doing it that way for many years before I even heard of Internet On The Go. I've been surfing sometimes five, six or seven hours and only download two, three or four MB's.

Now, enough of my babbling, here's the problem:

Since the changes on the overview from partial MB's to just (0 MB)'s and then from (0 MB)'s to (1 MB)'s, the (1 MB)'s have begun to sporadically multiply ... and they are appearing when they shouldn't be. Mainly when I'm not connected and surfing and my mifi box is off!

This was finally very easy to see when I created a text file with my usage log stats side-by-side with theirs. There are now many sessions where a pattern is visible. For less than an hour before I've turned my box on and connected to less than an hour after, mysterious (1 MB) entries can be found. Never a full 60 minutes before or after, but more randomly from between 10 to 50 minutes and most of them appear BEFORE I turn on my box and then connect.

Now, this is not supposed to be possible because, first of all, the box is off, and when it IS on, powerful encryption is used and I'm pretty certain that the 3g wireless system I'm connecting to knows exactly when the box is on and when it's off ... so ... there should be no possibility of a sneak-thief surfing on my box and the pattern of just before and just after and even during my surfing that the extra MBs show up, makes me think there was some rogue? software introduced on Truconnect's system. Intentional? Who knows.

What I do know is, I'm experiencing a deletion of service which could be construed as a THEFT OF SERVICE and it's a just little here and just a little there and just around the times that I COULD be connected - it could be argued by Truconnect - if I didn't myself keep an accurate log of my connection times and usage, without me being able to actually and confidently see and realize it with my own eyes.

I would call them and complain, but I twice called CS before I became a member with some simple questions about the service and literally waited on hold a half-hour before getting ... yep ... some foreign guy in some foreign land. I also have a feeling they would just say that I don't understand how their system works and blame it on me. A foreign CS guy is not someone to call with a problem this complex. I would just get the 'run around'.

Additionally, all those (0 MB) entries that are now logged as (1 MB) entries, give me the impression that ALL sessions that are less than 1 MB are being counted as a full megabyte now! I connected early one morning just to do a quick google search which ended up being two searches and the total download amount according to mifi.admin was 44 KB. BUT, when I later looked at my 'overview', the only entry for that time period said 1 MB ! A FULL megabyte was deducted from my account for just two google search pages and nothing more that totaled 44 KB ! AND NO EMAIL has been sent to me indicating that this type of calculation and deduction is now in effect on my account. WTF WTF WTF !

A problem I'm having now is, since discovering all this, I've shut the box off and no longer use it, so now I can't surf the net. How could I possibly turn it on and use it now, since I KNOW something is going on and I can't trust their system anymore? The first two months were OK. Both around 70 MBs used and many normal entries on the overview showing less than one megabyte deducted from my account. Third month hit 174 MB and the forth month 139 MB. I know I DID surf more in the third and forth month, but not THAT much more. The third month, starting in mid june was also when the mysterious extra off-session (1 MB) entries started appearing on my 'overview'.

I know something fishy is going on here and I'M BEING ROBBED !

Interesting how nowadays corporations seem to be taking a lot of liberty with their customers and how they treat them ... and when they get called out on it, it's 'We never had any intentions of taking advantage of anyone'. When the reality is 'We never had any intentions of ... getting caught'.

The funny thing is, on the back of the plastic box it comes in, it says (bracketed is in bold print):

We believe that you own what you pay for [so your megabytes never expire] (if used once a year). No monthly charges, no activation fees or any other hidden charges. It's simple: [pay only for what you actually use.]

That last sentence has been an utter joke since mid june.

Anyone else having this mysterious disappearing megabyte experience ?

I stopped at the Walmart Auto Service Center for an oil change. When I left my car, the car didn't have any sevice lights lit up on the dash. When I came out after the oil change, the brake light was lit up. The brake line was broken and fluid was all over the ground. Walmart said the line was rusted and it wasn't their fault. So not only did I have to pay for an oil change, I had to pay to have my car removed and the brake line repaired. That cost over $250.00 . I had to find someone to pick me up. Then I filed a complaint, but they said that nothing will come of it. Warning! Do Not Get Any Service Work For Your Vehiles at WalMart.

I just sent an email complaint to LaChoy about their chow mein noodles purchased about 1 month ago from the LaPlace WalMart. The form required the sell by date, difficult to see on pkg but turned out to be Sept 28, 2012. Today is Aug 19, 2013. W H A T ? This is a common practice in this WalMart. I once removed many out of date pkg'd food from the shelf, pkgs of bird seed crawling inside with insects and spewing flying adult bugs all over the pet dept; had to swat them away from my face. Once I noted a freezer full of individually pkg'd fish fillets with exp date the month previous. I returned the following week to find the same freezer with the same fish (apparently) all of which had the sell by stickers REMOVED! Of the thousands of Americans who die annually of food poisoning, the CDC, FDA, Dept of Agriculture, Wildlife & Fisheries should check WalMarts as a potential source of food contamination. Perhaps some lives can be saved. I suggest that WalMart store managers be served such items, with the time elapsed until correction monitored. Possibly the managers could be Olympic contestants. This store is a filthy dump unfit as a food outlet or a subplot in a new murder mystery.

DO NOT DO IT! I have had soooo many problems with these people, it’s not even funny. Latest quagmire: One of their employees reported my card lost/stolen in error and they cancelled my card. I called to have the problem fixed and they tell me it’s nothing they can do, they ave already mailed a new card out, I have to wait 2 weeks in order to get it in the mail and access my funds. This happened one day after my paycheck was direct deposited on the card. I told them I need to buy groceries to feed my children, and I need to put gas in my car to get to work, so I cannot wait 2 weeks. They say they cannot tranfser the funds to a bank account, only anothe rwalmart card. They tell me the only thing they can do is if I buy andother card, and deposit more money onto it so it can be activated, then they can transfer the funds. I told them my money is on the care they cancelled, so I hace no cash to buy another card. All I get is attiude from thier employees. It has been over a week, and I haven’t received a new card. I have had to take my kids to a homeless shelter to eat dinner, and I have missed several days of work. I asked to speak to a supervisor, who said te same thing, so I asked to speak to another supervisor. The woman in th ecorporate office says “I’ve told you what to do, if you have nothing else to say, I’m going to disconnect this call.” I asked to speak to her supervisor and she refused to transfer me. Their customer service dept. is horrible! Save yourself... the headache! I should not have to suffer for a mistake their employee made, but I am. I trusted them with my money and this is how they repay me!

i made a purchase on ebay for $3.00 useing paypal and the buyer as not ecepting payment for some reason so i canceled wich was reposted to my walmart card apparently on 8/2/2013 wich left me the balance of $879.00 now im not sure how they got that amount cause i started paying bills at 4:30 am after derict doposit by the time i was able to place order on ebay my balance was $37.00 afert hitt commit to purchase that left me with $34.00 shipping was free and no taxes. so im wiating for the refund to post from 8/2/2013 to today 8/5/2013 and to my surprise its in the account under 8/2/2012 balance $876.00 -$3.00 reversed for balance of $879.00...well as with (CAPITAL ONE) lying. cheating. allways cost in the long run so walmart you can bet ur bnottum dollar i will get my $3.00 back and more (CRIME DOESNT PAY).

Optometrist was unprofessional by telling me that the symptom of headaches & blurry vision was in my head (with my new pair of glasses) & basically blew me off. Two years ago he diagnosed me as having astigmatism in one of my eyes and now I no longer have it because the glasses corrected the problem. I had to spend an additional $65.00 for another eye exam. A total of $130.00 within 1 week. The new optometrist told me 1) I now have astigmatism in both eyes; & 2) glasses will not correct or cure astigmatism. I trusted this optometrist to take care of my eyes, which apparently he did not do. I am hoping by submitting this complaint that other customers would not have to go through what I went through.

That's why Wal-mart settles so many discrimination lawsuits- Because they continue to support racist business policies, and wrongfully targeting minority customers for false shoplifting charges! Many Consumers' complaints about Racism at Wal-Mart Continues across the Country! Racial Policies of firing African-American male Employees For No Reason in Augusta, Georgia & Aiken County, SC. Customer Service continues to decline at most Wal-Mart Stores. The store management and employees are consistently mistreating minority customers and are rude & unprofessional! Celebrities & Civil Rights Leaders; like: Stevie Wonder & Rev. Dr. Franklyn V. Beckles, Jr., have already led protests against buying any products at Wal-mart Stores!

Wal-Mart store managers (mostly incompetent & lazy women) at these locations are known for refusing to hire qualified African-American men, to work at inside their stores, deliberately hiring mostly unqualified or inexperienced women (who deliberately hog up all of the jobs & discriminate against men). The Wal-Mart are usually incomepetent, rude. hostle toward new-hires and minority customers, and the Augusta & Aiken Wal-Mart stores have been sued more times than any other department store in America (second only to Dillards, Sears/K-Mart, & Roses)! And has more lawsuits filed against them for racial discrimination and very poor customer service!
