Was told the insurance if bought was quick. Not quick at all, called the claim in on the 1st of January and have still not received the envelope to mail the phone in. Called again on the 9th, was put on hold and the call was never answered. Called back on the 12th and was told they had the wrong address, wow, then they told me it would be 3-5 business days for the envelope then when they receive it, it will be another 2-3 weeks to receive the check so we can get another phone, that's a month and in my book that is anything but quick - it's plain bull.

On 01/11/2015 I went to Walmart store 2198 to make a return with an item that I did not need. There was two customer reps in the customer service area helping. One sale associate was helping a customer and the other was stocking with five people standing line waiting and looking at the lady to say, "Can I help?" The supervisor had to come over to tell her to help me.

My son worked at Walmart until 1/11/15. His one year job anniversary is in march 2015. I was told by another mother a couple months ago who son worked there that walmart fires those young people before they make it one year and I need to be looked into. It's mostly cart pushers and janitors. My son was shocked on a Sunday morning to be fired because of the way he was told to clock in and out. Please look into walmart in firing practices in Natchez, MS.

Walmart has a Savings Catcher program that when you scan barcode, if lower prices are found at other stores, they advise you. If any, you are rewarded money-wise, to be used at Walmart or Sam's. I have been using Savings Catcher since July 2014. I have several receipts dating back to first of Dec. 2014 and information states sit tight, it takes 72 hours. Again receipts that have been scanned go back to beginning of Dec. 2014. I also got a Bluebird card (American Express Co.) which you're supposed to be able to click REDEEM & your Savings Catcher points will be doubled!! I can't find anywhere on Walmarts Savings Catcher Dashboard where you can do that!! I get NO answer from Walmart other than they've had technical problems with the Savings Catcher program!! It's getting to be just a HASSLE!!!

I have never been THREATENED over the phone when inquiring about an incorrect return process that was done in store 2917. I have worked in the retail industry as MANAGER myself for TEN YEARS and was appalled by this behavior. A shouting match is unnecessary when a question is only being asked. I am aware that for a proper return customers need to be physically in the store, it was unnecessary for the yelling and the threats from Mr. ** to NOT HELP ME IN MY SITUATION. I did not appreciate being yelled at as some form of farm animal. Last time I checked customer service is key to have a returning happy customer.
It is apparent to me that this particular store manager has passion to be always right rather than ensuring that the customer and their needs are met. It is self evident that the STORE MANAGER is toxic since his lazy, rude and over the top vulgarity is projected on all the employees at the store. Feel free to do a proper customer service survey to prove what I have previously stated. I normally would shop at store 2917 for all my needs and now I find my self going to TARGET. I would rather deal with a small security data breach that with what I have just been put through OVER THE PHONE. To make things worse, my issue was not resolved and I am still left with an incorrect return.
If you would like for me to physically go to the store and teach Mr. ** how to be an aspirational and polite store manager with a dash of integrity, I would be more than happy to do so. I will be doing a great service to Wal-Mart and society.

I hope corporate for Walmart in Keyser WV fires or demotes the employees and management today because I was approached by both while leaving the store today with my friend and my family was pretty close and saw everything. This big mean looking lady started yelling and accusing me of destroying merchandise. The only thing I did was open an airsoft gun that was already open. I wanted to see if it was made of Teflon plastic because if not I didn't want it and it wasn't. I returned an item when I first got there and they acted if I stole it. My grandmother from ocean city bought us Christmas gifts and I had one of what she had gotten me so I wanted to get something else. My grandmother has never kept receipts ever since I was little kid. But they treated me like I was scum. And I overheard the customer service doing the same thing to other people. I've never dealt with anything like that in my life. Threw me into a panic attack.

Whenever Albertson's or Fry's has an item on sale in their weekly ads, Walmart will purposely pull that item from their shelves so consumers cannot price match it. For example, whenever Arrowhead 24 pack of water goes on sale at a competing store Walmart will pull all of the Arrowhead 24 packs off their shelves until the sale is over. When I asked an employee who was stocking nearby about it, he confirmed that YES Walmart will pull items over $3.00 when a competitor puts it in their weekly ads!! That way customers cannot price match that item for a discounted price. Walmart does this on NUMEROUS items! This is their so-called price matching to help the American family save money??? NOT COOL WALMART!!!!

I ordered a Schwinn 26" Meridian Adult Tricycle online via Walmart.com. I was scared to order it but really wanted it for the good price offered. After ordering, I was alerted by Wal-Mart for fast shipping that they can ship it to my nearest Wal-Mart or Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market. I have a Wal-Mart market about two miles away and so, I opted for the market. Shipping was fast, the seasonal worker was annoying and rude but my bike is awesome! Wal-Mart really chose a quality product by choosing Schwinn. What once was an American made brand is now made in China. I was looking for an American made trike but good luck to that. American made is over $1000.
Wal-Mart offered to assemble the bike but I opted out. I wanted to insure that my bike was put together right. The Schwinn Meridian Adult Trike is awesome. It comes with a rear basket, great brakes, good tires, adjustable handle bars and seat. The seat is a well-padded wide seat. The bike is so well balanced and lightweight. It's a strong built bike made out of metal. I only see one plastic piece on the bike and that is a knob that covers the break cable on the handlebar. It feels a bit odd at first to ride a three wheel bicycle but, after an hour... I'm loving it! I don't have a disability or road hazards.. I saw a man one day enjoying his day while riding his trike and thought... I'd like one of those.
I'm impressed and excited about my new bike. I'll be riding my new bike this summer on the California trails from Riverside County desert to Orange county beach. I recommend purchasing the bicycle from Wal-Mart online. Wal-Mart has the best deal ever if you purchase online only. You can purchase an extended warranty and if you need to return the item you can either take it to a Wal-Mart or Neighborhood Market or request a return label online. Bring back a little fun in your life and purchase or at least test drive the Schwinn Meridian Adult Tricycle sold at Walmart.com. I have nothing but good things to say about my online shopping experience and the actual product.

When it comes to Christmas products, do NOT order from Walmart, especially through third party Tool King. They are selling defective products and not replacing them. If you do choose to buy Christmas products for the following year, make sure you check them out thoroughly before you pack them away. If not, you will be SOL. I always thought Walmart was fair. Christmas products are used but a few weeks every year, that makes their return time very limited. I feel this alone should warrant their warranties to be handled on a case by case using a special set of guidelines for unique circumstances. I will not be using Walmart for Christmas anything and I will NEVER buy from Tool King or LED GEN again.

On Jan 5th and 8 pm I visited this store to pick up 20 dollars worth of food for my household. In a hurry, I used the self check out lane. Ran my card and the computer froze on me! After half an hour of trying to explain (I had a atm print out of my before and after) that the money was taken out of my account, I was literally told to leave or have the cops called on me! I left in tears without my food or money. The manager at the time smirked at me while he and his employees made comments like "can't fix stupid/some people shouldn't be allowed in public/come on preacher... even Jesus was disgusted by liars and thieves." This man sincerely seemed to enjoy threatening me.
The next morning I got on the phone and my financial institution informed me that the money was not sent back to my account. So I spent 3 hours, half of which was on hold, with customer complaints trying to figure out where it had gone. Finally fed up I called the store directly, asked for the manager by name, spoke to him for 3 minutes before being put on hold for 26 mins. At that point a csm got on the line and at first was not helpful at all until I told her the entire conversation, or lack of, was being recorded and I was going to turn it in. So I was informed to come get my groceries and a 20 dollar gift card for my troubles. I was able to return to the store that evening. Thinking this would be simple enough I went to the front desk and tada they had no idea what I was talking about. It took half an hour of arguing (yes I argued this time) being told no one was there to issue a gift card to which I replied ok well that's fine I need my groceries though. "Ma'am we can't allow you to just go grab what you want and leave."
Wal-Mart is a multi million perhaps even billion dollar company and these employees are treating me like trash over 16.99? Then think that a 20 dollar gift card makes it all better?! Why not train your employees better and find management that doesn't smirk in the distraught face of a mother trying to feed her kids while allowing and taking part in bullying her. Why not purchase self check out software and hardware that actually works? I am still upset and angry about this situation. And to the head manager, Norman, putting an upset woman on hold does not make the problem go away. I'm far from done with this site and it's employees. I will use every resource I can find to let them know treating customers with this level of disrespect is not just uncalled for but also disgusting.

I purchased a coffee maker that was $89 yesterday and some other items that brought my total purchase to just over $140 at the Spring Hill FL Walmart. I had a $50 giftcard from Christmas and paid the remaining $90 on my debit card which comes directly out of my checking account. Went home tried using the coffee maker and there was a horrible plastic/chemical taste. My husband tried cleaning many times but was just not a good coffee maker so decided to return today.
I brought my receipt showing I paid $90 out of my checking account for the purchases yesterday but was told they would not refund me as a credit for the full amount to my check card. Said they would only refund me in the form of a $50 gift card and the remainder back on my card. I asked "Why since it is like I paid out of my pocket for the coffee maker and you could say the other items I purchased were made with the gift card?" She said they could not do that unless I returned everything including the other items I purchased. Their policy was to satisfy the gift card first...a well isn't the card already satisfied on the other purchases I kept and since I paid $90 out of my checking shouldn't I be entitled to get that money back. I asked for a manager. After waiting about 20 minutes for the front end mgr (Jasmine) to come was given and attitude. I asked her if I purchased just those items without the coffee maker yesterday I would have been allowed to use the gift card on them so why are they making the cash from my account used apply to the items I am keeping instead of the item I am returning. So in essence they were forcing me to purchase more there by giving me another gift card and keeping the same amount I paid out of my checking.
I have never run across this at Walmart before and have bought/returned from them many times. The attitude towards me was "Duh are you stupid for expecting your cash back" and I did not appreciate that. The front end manager also claims this was always their policy that even if you spent $500 total on an order and used $100 gift card and $400 cash then came back to return $100 worth of the purchase they would only give you a $100 gift card. I told her that I have done purchases like that in the past and as long as the cash you spent was the amount you were returning they would refund $...She said I was wrong their policy was always this way. So basically calling me a liar but I have had that experience. I tried to call home office to complain about the way I was treated as well as the whole situation and was put on hold over an hour and transferred all around. Horrible customer service and will not be shopping at walmart anymore and tell everyone who will listen if this is how refunds are handled - with hassles.

I planned a vacation to Florida with my family. We decided to drive down because it cheaper. For such a long drive, I needed a oil change, so I took my truck to the place I usually take it to, Wal-Mart. I get there and was told that they were not doing any oil changes today after being ignored but they took not one but two customers before me. I talked to a manager who made them give me a oil change. Now after 3 hours, they called me back to tell me they couldn't change the oil because the oil plug was overtightened and stuck. They admitted that it was done by them and suggested to go to Sears to fix it.
I went to Sears to fix it. Now over another hour later, they told me that if the tank is stripped that I would need a whole new tank for $800. After another hour, they said that they would cover it. Come to find out that Sears got the plug out and the tank was not stripped. Went back to walmart to get the money for the oil change and the cost of the plug. Little did I know that the manager expected me to get the oil change at Wal-Mart and wasn't going to pay for it. I asked her how was I going to drive to Wal-Mart without any oil. About an hour later, she sends another manager which only gave my $5 for the plug. After talking to that manager, he gave me $35. Mind you it cost me $45 for the oil change at Sears, not to mention the whole day wasted because of someone on the walmart staff that can't tightened down a plug without messing up my oil pan. Will NEVER trust Wal-Mart again and I suggest you shouldn't either.

My name is Jennifer and I've worked for walmart for 2 years in Port Arthur, TX store 449. I first worked day shift as part time and after a year transferred to nights as ICS associate working 40 hrs a week and after receiving my first check for overnights, I didn’t see my pay change. So I went into hr, asked them about this and they said it would have to be fixed, OK fine. So, two months of continuously going into hr, still no change in pay so for two/ three months I’m missing $1.20 extra an hour. No back pay at all. Now, I was terminated on New Years 15 for "ghost picking", no write ups, no coachings, no complaints before on my job performance. Keep in mind I’ve done this same job for over a year and never one time have I ever been called into the office nor said anything to about my job performance. I will be going over their heads for wrongful termination and if walmart was unioned, this would never happen to anyone.

Vizio 42" 5.1 channel sound bar - Ordered 2 of these sound bars on Walmart.com after Thanksgiving on sale for $198. I had them delivered to my local Wal-Mart in Rocky Mount Va. When I picked them up, I noticed the boxes had a lot of clear sealing tape on them, but didn't think that much about it, since a lot of boxes from Wal-Mart are that way. Gave them as gifts at Christmas, and upon opening, both were missing the boxes containing the hook-up cables and remote. Going to Walmart.com I discovered no Wal-Mart store within 50 miles had any of these units in stock, so I took them back to my local store and received a refund... Only hours after I returned them, I went to Walmart.com and the Rocky Mount Va. store listed 2 in stock. Rocky Mount was the only Wal-Mart in the area that showed any. They were on sale for $238 at the time, $40 more than what I had purchased these for after Thanksgiving. It just seems odd that 2 units appeared back in stock after I returned these 2 missing accessories. Maybe the local Wal-Mart pulled a slick one on me?

I would give a zero rating if I could. This is in regards to Walmart's online website as there is no place for me to write a review for them there. This Christmas, I thought I would try ordering an XboxOne from Walmart online to give it to try. What a mistake that was. We had nothing but trouble in relation to this order. First UPS said they delivered the order but we never received the package. Then after reporting it not being delivered, we have not had any help with getting a replacement for the missing package. I have done everything Walmart requested I do including filing a police report and contacting UPS. UPS has agree that the package is missing and that we never received it and I have FAXED Walmart a copy of my police report. Also they said part of the problem was the fact that we had stopped payment for this item and that our credit card company needed to contact them.
So we had our credit card company talk with someone in accounting and assured Walmart that they would be paid once the package was shipped out. Now Walmart is saying that it is still because of the charge back which is ridiculous. None of the customer service reps ever told us that they could not authorize a replacement for the XBoxOne. This was another issue. One of the customer service representatives also told us that he had talked to a supervisor and got an ok to put our request through.
I'm very frustrated and upset by the lack of communication between the customer services reps and the ones who are able to approve our request for a replacement. The last person we talked with was someone who claimed she was the administrative assistant to the Vice President of Walmart and once again we were given the run around because she said it was because of the charge back. Now I am just sick and tired of all the red tape and hoops we have to do to try and get our son the replacement that we deserve and I think it's because Walmart wants us to give up and not ask for one. If this is how you do business, then you will never get any more from me or my family. I will also tell my friends and other family members not to shop at Walmart, especially not online. I am so disappointed and will never use your online website for anything again.

Since Wal-Mart has completely neglected our claim on our children's health that we filed through Travelers Insurance, an insurance company on behalf of one of their distributors, I have no choice but to post this everywhere I can now!
Nov 24, 2014. Krysteena **. Hi Mitch this is Felipe I'm sorry I missed your call. After discussing this issue with my wife we have arrived at an answer for you. When Wal-Mart grossly neglected their merchandise by allowing it to sit on the shelf for over 4 months past its best by date of 6/16/14, then sold it to us, they endangered our health but much worse our three innocent children's. When we confronted the store after unknowingly consuming the moldy product and diuretic repercussions, they further misconducted themselves with arrogant aggression and no remorse, yet later still acknowledged and validated our claim by assuring us they had removed all similar products off their shelves in multiple stores.
When we spoke with Sedgwick on behalf of Wal-Mart, the claims adjuster Sue attempted to infer that it was my fault for not checking the label to see the best by date, while simultaneously trying to assure me that a best by date does not mean the product is bad or that the company has any legal obligation to remove the product from the shelf by said date... By the end of the conversation she said she would call us back after she obtained the pictures we gave Tara, and the pictures the store was taking, yet later when they learned we had been in contact with legal advice, they decided to dismiss the claim altogether, based on us having an attorney (which was untrue), as well as the lack of evidence (that we had surrendered to asst. manager Tara, but had obviously been destroyed/disposed of) and instead have placed the responsibility on Klondike for this problem.
Due to the gross negligence that caused our children's health to be compromised and ultimately led to illness, we are asking $1500 per child and $500 for my wife as compensation by way of punitive damages for all the hardships, mistreatment and neglect our family has undergone and been put through by this life threatening incident, and any unforeseen repercussions we could suffer as a result of Wal-Mart's underhanded business practices.

I'm besides myself with confusion when it comes to Wal-Mart and their manner of dealing with issues. Customers service is a joke but what do you expect when you’re dealing with one of the largest retailers in the world. Being just one person out of billions who shop there, I guess that's why I don't count as a valued customer! All I wanted was to be reassured that my children could visit your candy dispenser safely but all Wal-Mart can do is say they will look into the matter but in no way will they reassure me that the matter had been dealt with or not. I told the customer service rep and her manager that was all I wanted was a call back on the matter and was told over and over that's not going to happen and then hung up on!
So now I have no choice but to continue venting my disappointments with the security of your customers and their loved ones. I shouldn't had to inform Wal-Mart that they have no security on their candy, stickers, and toy dispenser. This is something you would think they would already have but beware all you parents and care givers out there that if you’re by the candy dispensing machines, there is no security cameras on them. Anything could happen while a child is there or in my case an elderly person. Wal-Mart has informed me that they have no security on these machines in any store. Shocking isn’t it to think of all the Times my kids have went to them machines while I’m looking at red box but never again will I be able to let them do this!
Thanks Wal-Mart for placing dispenser like this in all your stores directed towards kids but not having enough sense to place cameras where you could or the police would be able to review what happens at them. I'm not only concerned about kids but at my local Wal-Mart many older people will wait by these machines for their rides to pick them up or to look for car keys in their purse. Now anyone could walk up and take their belongings and just Like in my case with no cameras on them, the thief gets by with it. Even contacting the police won't help as in my case I did contact the police and because they have no cameras on the candy dispensing machines, the thief got my stuff and nothing can be done about it. I just don't understand why I had to be stolen from and nothing can be done about it.
But like I have told the customer service I'm not looking for replacement of my item I just want a call back on this issue once they figured it all out and let me know if they have or haven't decided to place cameras on an area directed towards kids! My venting won't stop until I get a call from someone who explain why this is like this and it is changed.

I received a $100 WALMART GIFT CARD for xmas from my sister purchased @ the state of MA store # 2903, I live in FL and use store #1702, and when I went to use it, it said 0 balance. Customer service ran the number and it said $100 was used in a Cali store #2177. How could that be, the pin wasn't scratched & I physically have the card & receipt? So there's either a glitch in the computer system, bad card, or stolen in house. I Googled online and saw this happened numerous times in 2009 with the same store in CA redeeming them on people all from out of state.
My customer service in FL told me to call corporate, so I did. The supervisor Stacey, told me to return it to the store purchased. I called again next day and talked to Kevin, another supervisor. Same thing, no apology, no help, said call police, and still no resolution, the worse customer service ever! I told both Stacey & Kevin, they are going to say the same thing my store said, it's been used, which it hasn't. My sister called corporate 3 times and the MA store and they said same thing, sorry, call police! I am not happy with corporate customer service, and I called the store #2177, & they said call the police, for what, make a report and still be out my $100!
There was NO register number on print out my store gave me showing it was spent in Cali store! I have gotten the runaround from customer services and no resolution, worse customer service ever! When I go online and put the card # in it says $100 used in Cali store, but when corporate switched me over to automated #, and I put the card # in. It said card was invalid! I just want a new $100 card, this is ridiculous & a huge hassle! I don't appreciate being ripped off! They have my sister on video buying the gift card. Well let's see the video of who used it in Cali, there isn't one, because it never happened. It's a BAD gift card, a glitch in the car or system or something, and they won't honor it! Won't even conduct an investigation! So corporate needs to send me a new $100 card!

My mother in-law worked at Walmart since Walmart first opened their doors in our area. She was an Accountant for 25 yrs at Walmart. All and all Walmart treated her well until her last 2 yrs before retiring. Two years before she reached her retirement age. Walmart started treating her very rude. She said, she felt Walmart wanted her out after 25 yrs of service.
I myself worked for Walmart in Nashville,TN in sporting goods for a short time. It only took me that short time to realize it wasn't for me. My first day on the job they throwed me on register with no training with swing hours. Back then, Walmart made employees use shared register drawers. Register drawers was short before I was hired. The day I was hired Walmart CSM told me they had problems with register drawers becoming short every night. They had no cameras at the registers in Sporting Goods to know who it was taking from the drawers. And with shared drawers made it impossible for them to know who it was taking from their drawers. My manager in sporting goods was lazy to do risers. Made me do all the risers while he ** with other employees. One day the as-manager came to me accusing me of the drawer being short. I got fed up and told the main manager I quit. I never stoled a thing in my life. Being accused of something you didn't do is very uncalled for without claim of proof.
After I quit, I realized who it was taking from the drawers. One of the front main manager's is who it was. I remember she use to come all the way to the back of the store in sporting goods to get $10's & $20's saying she was short up front. I was a new employee I had no idea it was wrong for her to take from my drawer. My guess, she still works there today taking money under radar.
My wife just quit Walmart about 2 months ago. She worked at Walmart for 7 yrs. Walmart treated her bad as well. Till this day she hasn't been able to get her last paystub from walmart. Does anyone know how to get a paystub from walmart after you quit? After you quit, walmart removes you from their online system so you can't printout your last paystub.
Through the yrs I knew many people that worked at Walmart. All says they hate or hated it there. Walmart conducts harassment and favoritism to their employees. For 7 yrs my wife attempted and applied for manager in her dept and was turned down every time. Walmart hires people off the streets for managers instead of giving it to their employees.

Well it was back in 2013, I had just started working for Walmart. I was hired as a temporary associate, I also work the night shift in maintenance. Working there was stressful I hated it. The managers were always harassing me including this one manager. That's why I was glad I got fired from there. As the two month I was employed there it wasn't good because there was this one lady that worked in maintenance for 30 years and she is lazy and does nothing and she got rewarded.
When I was hired I was told that everything has to be done before your deadline. I was like I could do that. So is an hour before my shift ended and I was assigned to clean the front end where the registers were, I was yelled and almost cursed by a manager because I missed like two spots that needed to be swept and the manager still came back taunting me.
So one night on one of my shifts I was getting these real bad headaches and I was feeling like I was about to pass out so the manager sent me home and I got sick. So I returned to work three days later but during those three days there was a fraud on my bank account and I needed to put a stop to it so I had opened up a brand new bank account and I had to change my banking information for work and the same manager told me that "you should've done it on your break" but I fell asleep. So the manager rudely stated that "you've been out sick and right now. It's not that important right now," and that we are so busy to even deal with it.
So my shift ended at 8 in the morning and I notified HR and HR stated that he should've let "now your money is going to that old account." I was like, "Seriously". So one week I enrolled in school and I needed to change my schedule so one of the managers said that they'd work with it so the next night they fired me. That's why I hate Walmart. I will never shop at this Walmart.

I worked for our local Walmart store 1931 for 9 years and it was great! In the last two years it had become too much. As an overnight csm we deal with everything at our store. Well in the last year they say I had a rough one and had several write ups but still a strong performer. On Dec. 30 I was let go. After I put 9 years into that store and they said had too many complaints. Well people at our store, the customer can yell at you, swear at you and as a csm you bring up management to help, they talk to the customer and give them what they want and a gift card. Nothing about how you were treated.
At store 1931 why do some people get written up and others do not. Why does management not respond to requests from csms about front end issues, why does management not respond to personal attacks by other associates at store 1931. Why does store 1931 pile more on the front end with already a 2 cashier, 1 csm front end and expect the csm to still service the customer with customer service desk, jewl, respond to cashiers and stock etc. Why does store 1931 respond to a request to look into a write up that was unfair. Yes store 1931 has a lot going on that needs to be fixed. Just remember what customer and associate say is not always right and you need not make up your mind before you really talk to the associate involved.

Me and my family have shopped at Wal-Mart and in the last few years they have clearly stopped caring about their customers as well as their employees! I pick up an item and I always check the price label under each item (frequently place items above wrong price label) and make sure I match the barcoded label with the item barcode to ensure correct price is given at register and I have been overcharged every single shopping trip! An item shown to be 5.98 is 9.98 at register! Items marked on clearance are not clearance when price is checked at register! Items are marked at a lower rate and clearly marked way up at register! Not fair to people that have to wait behind me on price checks etc. Clearly they are too cheap to buy bigger bags as well! Spend a few cents more and order bigger bags instead of bagging my items in 500 bags that allow each of my items and clothing to fall out, get dirty instead of saving bags and bagging items in bigger bags that would mean less bagging, and less bags being used!

Ordered a Beachbikes - Women's Urban Lady 7 Speed Beach Cruiser Bike [Qty - 1] From Wal-Mart Ordered on the 16th of December, with 6 day shipping, to be delivered by the 22nd of December. When Seeing the UPS go by my house on the 22nd I decided to call on the shipping status, as this was expected for Christmas. Called Wal-Mart and after 10 minutes was told that the order was canceled and they did not know why and they would have to call Wayfair in the morning to get an answer. The next morning I received an email at 5 AM stating the order was canceled and to call Mayfair customer service. I was given 2 different reasons, reason 1: unable to ship within the expected timeframe, reason 2: I have confirmed that the color of the bike you wanted is out of stock until February. Issue: Website does not reflect actual inventory available, currently today the color is still on site. Issue: order should have never gone through, or should have been contacted prior to delivery date. Issue: they really don't care.

The first thing that happened was I have been waiting on a new phone because I had a product care plan that they sent me a wrong label on. I confirmed & talk to representative & of course they claimed it was the right label. I've been waiting for two months for my phone w/ the promise of a call-back (6x's) that I never receive. Now I was @ the store trying to purchase another phone & a galaxy pad. It took them over 30 min to handle the couple in front of us & when it's finally our turn, a young man walks up in front of us saying he has a question about a Wii U. I think the sales associate will tell him after he has taken care of us he will get back to him. No such luck! He walks off w/ the young man & leaves us standing there!!! Huh!!! Very rude especially since we waited so long & have over $2,000 worth of purchases. I left my basket right where it was & told my fiancee that we were going to the next town to buy our products (we stay in a smaller town in Kansas w/ only one Walmart). We just had to travel over 30 miles just to buy our stuff. Walmart has went downhill. I'd rather go to another store & pay more than have to go through this again!

I am constantly getting yelled at by customers. I have to cover jewelry and shoes. And at Christmas time that is nearly impossible. But management does not care one person in a supercenter trying to keep shoes zoned and filled meanwhile trying to wait on angry customers in the jewelry department. Also we got robbed twice. No one was in jewelry as usual. But that's are fault too. Really. I have been with Walmart a very long time over 17 years. But these past ten years have been the worst. They give me one associate for both departments. And most of the time they pull her upfront for returns or to ring. And if you are older talk about discrimination. They don't care. You better get the job done or you step down or get fired. Walmart used to be a great place to work, not anymore. It used to be family oriented and they cared about the associates, not anymore.

The Walmart in Thibodaux, LA does not give proper customer service. I went into the store several times during the week and every time, the employees will not assist you if you ask. They are unfriendly and when you do find an item and want to pay for it, you have to wait an hour to be checked out. They only have 1 lane open for many people waiting in line. You go to customer service and complain, and the employees who work there, Say, "then go somewhere else and shop." What kind of big corporation would allow the store to go on as it does. The store reflects the manager who operates it. I will not be going to Walmart to ever shop again. My time is valuable. In addition, maybe if Walmart increase its salaries, they could have better employees... I guess if you pay cheap, expect your employees to give cheap service.

When you buy a brand new item, you expect it to be new, right? I bought PS4 console while I was in Italy for $400 on Nov. 29 and when I got back to States on Dec. 15 (return policy 15 days exceeded already), I played PS4 for few days and it never turned on! Also got one of my games stuck inside of it (NBA 2K15). Took it to store where I had the item picked up. The manager was extremely rude and did not leave or tried to work something out for me. I was completely pissed at how they valued me. I was given the only option to send it to Sony for a fix but I do not buy a DEFECTIVE item and then have the manufacturer fix it. WHO KNOWS if the item was already returned before because it sure was not in best shape - one of the strap stand on bottom was not PERFECT, as if it was taken out and put back in again!
I talked with Walmart.com and one guy gave me hope by saying they should have honored the 15-day policy to replace the item for me as it was defective from THEIR stock but the 2nd time I called, the person even talked to her supervisor and there was no support whatsoever. I always order my things online, usually Amazon. This was my first time ordering from Walmart after so many years and look what it turned out to be. Even if there was no support from them at all, they are the ones who should be dealing with Sony about these defective items, NOT the customer, because the customer wants brand new, non-defective item! I will call again tomorrow, try to get something done because I am not going to send this PS4 to Sony and get it "fixed," as I am not fan of used/defective items. I always put a bit more money into my products so that they are good quality, but there is only one PS4 which is made from Sony. It clearly states that if the item was defective, the store should have been clear about a good customer support by exchanging my item for a NEW one and dealing with Sony themselves with the defective item!
Also, the receipt did not show that return policy for anything is what. I had to call today after the system stopped working to find out how many days is the return policy for the PS4. Walmart SUCKS. I feel as if I have been robbed.

I have had my Walmart credit card for 1 year. I have always paid it on time, and never missed 1 single payment. Usually, I pay double the amount on my monthly statement, sometimes I have paid it in full. This month, I decided to pay it in FULL, so I could use it for CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. I have never had a problem, until THIS MONTH. I paid my bill IN FULL on DEC 9th. I paid with a BANK CHECK at the WALMART LOCATION near my home. I usually can use my WALMART card on the same day when I pay in the store, but this time I could NOT use it which seemed weird and made me question if the check was applied correctly to the correct account.
So, I called customer service and they said the check was posted, and the check payment appeared on my account; however, they would not released any available balance until the check has cleared.... which would take about 7-14 days. I called back again 14 days later and was advised, that it would still be ANOTHER 12 DAYS until my credit card had ANY available BALANCE. SO - Forget any CHRISTMAS SHOPPING THIS YEAR!!! I took 100% of my business to other merchants WHO APPRECIATE my hard earned $$$$$$$$$. I have never been so furious in all my life, as most of my grand kids wanted games at WALMART.
I will NOT be using WALMART as my primary MERCHANT again. It's the most ridiculous thing ever - to not permit the credit card available balance to be available.

My son was 6 months at the time. Then they sent me to Ponderay Idaho (Spelled that wrong. Basically sandpoint.) for 10 days. Could not see my son (except for skype, and that broke my heart). I worked hard stocking, and loading and unloading freight. I was supposed to be there for 15 days. One day while stocking baby clothes I started to tear up because I missed my son, a friend/co-worker asked if I was okay. I told her I missed my baby. She hugged me and we got back to work. The next day, my manager knocked on my hotel room door and said it was time for me to pack my bags, I'm going home. I asked why, and she said that obviously me missing my son was interfering with my ability to work. I got really upset and closed the door. It didn't interfere with my ability to work at all. I said I missed him ONCE. I cried the entire way home. Didn't get the 10+ hours overtime I worked for (so I worked 10+ hours for no pay). When I got back I got sick with strep. I missed a couple weeks of work. Nothing I could do, doc said to not show up.
He called them and they said that they'll write it down. My last missed day with strep was October 3rd. From the 4th of October to the 10th of December I went to every shift. EVERY SINGLE ONE. My hours varied from 8 hours a week to 27 hours a week. Never a steady week. On the 11th of December I went in to minor care at the hospital with my son. We were diagnosed with ringworm. I called in, and they said that I can't come to work contagious (understandable, don't want to infect 100's of customers that go through my line). Two days later (three missed days) this would be my 4th day of calling in. They said that I can't miss any more work. BUT I CAN'T come to work contagious. I have missed 8 days because of my son and I being contagious. Everytime I call in, they say "you can't come contagious, I'll write you down. But you can't miss any more work or you'll get fired. But don't come in, you're contagious." Okay? That doesn't sound right at all. I call in today just to receive my schedule for the next two weeks. I'm not scheduled to work for the next two weeks.

Ever since I started working for them I have struggled to the point of crying to make ends meet.

I returned to the store the next day to find out that the cashier rang the transaction incorrectly. Cashier rang it up as I accepted the item in the store at the time of purchase which was not the case, which was the cause of not being able to register the items online for the one hour guarantee.

Today on 12/20/14 I called the store for a status on this item being that I still had not received a call or email and a month has almost gone by. In talking to the manager that was working today informs me that this item cannot be ordered. My only option is to get a refund. I then call Wal-Mart corporate who basically gave me the run around and stated they would have to contact that store manager and have them contact me which would take up to 3 days from that store manager. So that will be one day before Christmas. I was also told that I am not guaranteed it will be in for Christmas because I have a rain check now and not a one-hour guarantee because of the inexperience of the cashier ringing the purchase up incorrectly. So not only has this been a nightmare but I have been told several conflicting stories starting from the original store electronic manager, then from representative from corporate, and lastly from a corporate customer service manager.
None of the three know what the other one is doing. Needless to say this was not guaranteed in stock as it was stated, due to no fault of my own. I will have to get a refund a few days before Christmas and will have no gift because of the negligence of this company not standing up to their advertisement. One-hour guarantee is a joke and has not done anything to rectify this ongoing problem along with absolutely zero communication.

Was told I need to be more on time with the times that was in my tasking. Now mind you it gave me 15 minutes for an entire pallet and 20 minutes for the water isle that I had to pull 3 pallets to put out and then an additional pallet that I had to break down and put up. This was the norm for the first month. Then in October I came in and was told I was sporting goods, automotive and hardware. No problem. And then I was told I had to train a new girl now. Ok. I've been here a month and I'm training someone. So we work it together and everything but like 2 items go up.
The next night I come in and at the nightly meeting they tell us who's no longer considered temp and guess what? The new girl I trained the night before gets hired and not only that but full time and so do every other ** worker that was temp. Now me and 4 other ** workers are told there isn't room to move anyone else up. So whatever. I'll look for another job. No big. This will pay my bills till then.
The next two weeks go by and then the new schedule comes out. I had asked for a certain day off because I had to have my daughter at a doc app. I didn't get it off because according to management it’s a Thursday to Friday and well that's not possible coming into the busy season. But 2 ** coworkers whose hire dates were after mine and hired perm asking after me got it. So I go to management again only to find out that the one manager Shawna is now making the schedule and they had a good reason for needing it off. Then the next schedule comes out and because I spoke up I went to every other day for the next 2 weeks. Those of you night shifters know that's a hard schedule. Well do it and keep my mouth shut. Now it's November at 3:20 am. I get a deep cut. Go to manager to get a report written up and ask to drive myself to the hospital for stitches. He says no calls. The nurse’ line they tell him, “Yeah, she needs to go in,” and he tells me, “You gotta wait for a female management to come in and that's not till 11 am.” Now that's clearly past the 8-hour window.
So at 6:15 when a co-manager comes in I talk to him and the head manager comes up they talk to me and tell me that I have to come back at 10:30 and that a female management will drive me to the after hours clinic and get it taken care of. Then the manager says, “But if you can try and let it heal on its own!” Really not happy at this point so inform them that I called my doctor’s ER line and she told me I needed to be seen ASAP. So I was clocking out and leaving. This was 6:41 am. I go to the ER where my doctor had told me to go. I ended up with 3 stitches and a brace along with a weight lifting rest iron for a month. I take it back to work there pissed and ask, “Well did you file workman’s comp and if you did your off work till it’s figured out and no pay.” So I come back to work the next night and was put in electronics. That whole week I was there up until an ** worker went and yelled at the co-manager Shawna and said that was his comfy spot and I had to be moved because he was not stocking **. In other departments, she gave him the electronics and moved me to seasonal.
The next night I was put on isle 3. Now I'm not supposed to be over there at all. I told the manager that was against my restrictions. They said, “I don't care. Get it done or your fired!” That night a male ran over his toe with a pallet jack screwing off and was placed in fitting rooms answering phones, and ended up being there a whole week while I was back and forth from seasonal to isles 3, 5, 6, and 7.
The last straw was the 3 nights before Thanksgiving when the manager Shawna had all the ** workers all 9 of us putting up old pallets while the ** workers was doing displays and screwing off and she came out and told us at 6:15 am to mush mush. I told her I'm not a dog. I’m a human and she said, “Mush get it done or don't come back.” We finished 2 of 3 pallets she had pulled out. The next morning I came in tried to speak with the head manager but was told he wasn't there and wouldn't be back that day so the next day again came in to talk. Nope not there. I ended up calling in for 2 weeks straight after trying to put in my 2-week notice and my schedule was changed to every other night for those two weeks. I had proof of it being changed and the manager Shawna told me that Walmart requires 3 weeks notice not 2.
I had left 6 messages in 3 days for the head manager and the head manager never called me back. Everyone on 3rd shift knows that managers are racists and they are very open about it. They don't care and when it's brought to ethics like the one man in meets did, he was fired 1 week later after being there for 10 years for speaking up. Just utter disrespect.

Hello my Name is Brian I'm 29 and I do not consider myself disabled but I suffer from Mental disorders like very bad anxiety, ADHD, Depression. I have minor brain damage from a bicycle accident as a kid and I have problems explaining things and talking to people especially in person. I get very, very nervous and bad anxiety to the point where I shake and my brain doesn't work right. I just moved from Maryland to a small town in Grand Rapids Minnesota with my girlfriend for 10 years. I find everybody here in this state so freaking nice, and I'm being serious.
Ok so here’s what happened. My girlfriend and I went to the Grand Rapids Walmart mainly so we could either Return or exchange a couple printer ink cartridges we purchased around the end of November 2014 because they were the wrong ones to our printers. Not only that but they sure are not cheap. So I walk in with my girlfriend who by the way was with me the whole time, and customer service Lady scans them and tells me they were never purchased from Walmart. I told her, “there has to be a mistake could you check again,” and she said, “NO, try target.” OK??? At this point I didn't think anything of it besides I knew she was wrong.
So I walked to the electronic section where I purchased them and I found the same exact printer cartridge on the shelf with matching UPC and bar code numbers. I took both mine and the one off the shelf to the electronic employee and explained him the situation so he scanned My ink Printer Cartridge just to double check and BOOM, there it was right on his hand held scanner thingy. He says "Well I'm not sure why the other lady told you it wasn't purchased here because it’s coming up in the system and I know you got it from here.”
At this point I'm just ready to get this over with so I ask what I should do because that lady up front just straight up lied to me and told me it wasn't purchased from this store. He went in the back and came out 5 minutes later and told me that someone told him to apologize to me for the issue and just to take it back up to the same lady. I asked if I could talk with a manager and he told me, “there’s no manager here right now.” I said to the kid "well then who's running this Super Sized Walmart?” He did not know.
On my way out the door because I was so angry at this point I ran into a MANAGER. His name was ** and he was very calm and seemed to be a very nice gentleman, so once again I explained to him the situation and he told me to follow him to the customer service register so he could fix this for me. Now on the way he started almost drilling me with these odd questions, "When did you purchase this item?" I told him I think a couple months ago then he asked where I purchased it and what was the exact date I purchased the Item, what was the name of the person I purchased it from, and why I had 2 different brands of Printer cartridges. Well at this point my heart is racing and I'm sweating and shaking (This is the mental disorders I have, I get very anxious just speaking with someone I don't know and this guy was like some kind of FBI agent interrogating me).
I answered the questions and then he asks my girlfriend where I purchased the items at and what my motive really was. She told him the truth. After stringing me on for 35 minutes he shakes his head and tell me that he doesn't trust me and refuses to return or exchange the item I purchased from there with in the 90 day frame and I was well within my Right to Return or Exchange the item.
So at this point there’s no question in my mind what was happening, ** the manager was treating me like I was some low life, belittling me along the way with his rude uncalled for comments, looking at me like I was a loser and I straight up told him that this was not Right and “I know you’re profiling me.” He laughed at me and then walked away. I walked toward him and asked him one more question. I said, “Are you refusing to return this item because of your job or is this personal?” He said, “NOPE has nothing to do with my job.”
I then said one last time "You’re profiling me aren't you?” ** answers, "Yes I am Profiling you, look at yourself and the way you talk something is wrong with you, you’re High or just mighty **!!" as he chuckled under his breath. I did not know what to say or do I was just in shock because of how physically and mentally painful that was. So I went home in tears and anger and hurt.
Walmart let me say this, I have been profiled, mistreated, talked down to, and belittled my whole life and I can't let that go on. I have been getting better and better at not letting this kind of abuse happen to me anymore. So this time I decided to take "Notes" which he knew about. I have 100% cold hard proof I was not only profiled but mistreated, as well as My Girlfriend who was with me the whole time. All I want is to be treated like a normal person and not refused services that I'm entitled to. Thank you for Reading this.

I am a very upset and heart broken single mom right now, and I need this to be known by many other potential victims of Walmart. I placed an online for iPad mini from Walmart.com to be picked up from store at Oldsmar, FL. Shortly after, my order got cancelled because of some unknown credit card processing error. Well they still charged my Card for the Mini iPad anyways after the email said they would NOT charge because of order being cancelled.
I had to reorder the Mini iPad, pay for it AGAIN even though they already have my money for the first order and now 2nd order Today gets cancelled again, because the store I wanted to pick my iPad up from didn't have it, so again from store at Oldsmar, FL Walmart. But when I was making the purchase it said they had it in stock but they took my money anyways in 7-10 minutes or less, but it will take them 7-10 days to credit it back into my account. So even though they couldn't produce the product, I got charged and I now have to wait 7-10 business days to get my money back on an order they could not produce!! And the 1st order because of an order processing error, so it's TWICE the amount I was charged of 235.00!!!
I am so upset because I am a single mother trying to make ends meet and really was excited to buy my 7 year old this Mini iPad with all my heart for Xmas. Now I am not sure if my little boy will even get a Christmas gift because I have no money available because now I will have to wait 7-10 business days. With Christmas around the corner I am not able to buy any more Christmas presents, or groceries and pay for certain bills until that money is credited back. People all over need to be informed and know this before wasting time and then ending up with their hard earned money put on hold for 7-10 business days. Money they cannot use till then, very sad. Walmart needs to correct this HUGE error in their system now.

On Thursday, December 18, 2014 at 20:39 I arrived at the Money Center at WALMART off Pines Rd 6235 W Port Ave, Shreveport, LA 71129 to be exact. The MoneyCenter had already closed for the night so I proceeded to go to Customer Service to use MoneyGram services. When I arrived, I was told by a rude associate they they were closed for the night. My issue was that it wasn't suppose to close until 2100 and it was closed 20 minutes early. I then asked to speak to a Manager and a guy by the name of ** come over to me. He said that they were understaffed and she (moneycenter associate) was suppose to get off at 2030. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 30 minutes? I was informed that there was nothing he could do to help me. This situation left me very upset and unsatisfied because I send my parents money all the time using this service and this was a case of emergency.
By the time I made it to another WalMart it was closed and it's the closest store to my parents to transfer money. I plan to call and speak to the Store Manager in the morning but I am very disappointed appalled and downright furious at the customer service of this particular store. I think this definitely should be: CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWFUL, WILL NOT SHOP AT THIS WALMART AGAIN!

Let me tell you, this is the last year I will buy anything at Walmart. They are so backwards. To me the consumer always comes first, I was a Walmart employee and as an employee I have only lived in two places. Now because of an error on my part, and a stupid glitch in their system which doesn't correct the mailing address when you switch the billing address (which I switched back to my first address, the first place I lived when I previously worked at Walmart). They sent 150 dollar and two TV sets to my old address, luckily I was able to recover the TV sets. I was able to, THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME OUT THERE. The box when I got there was open. And now, being the 150.00 (163.+ after taxes) are Christmas gifts I have to get the police involved and explain and prove to them that yes they were sent to the wrong address and that I believe they would open that mail seeing that they opened the FedEx box and let the cops handle it all. Then Walmart also owes me some backpay from last year the last paycheck (vaca pay and the bonus that was due me) seeing as I never received it.

Walmart... I hate Walmart. Every single time I shop either online or in store at any walmart in any area, I have been so disappointed. A few months ago I went to the walmart in Pleasanton Ca, which is a very nice area with my husband to shop for a baby gift only to find everything in the infant department on the floor. So then we drove to the Walmart in Almaden San Jose, Ca to find one little shelf and nothing had a price on it. We then had to find a toys r us. My next experience was with walmart.com. I ordered some baby food after about a half hour of trying to figure out what was actually available which they would only post at check out. This should have been my first sign. When the baby food arrived, they had shoved 15 small glass jars in a plastic bag in a box with no stuffing I was shocked that nothing broke.
My next experience, the latest one - I ordered an xbox one and a game for my husband as a surprise Xmas present. After paying for an increased shipping rate so that everything was guaranteed before xmas, I find out only the game is going to be shipped and I have to drive all the way to Gilroy 40 miles away to pick up the xbox in store! So somehow I figure out how to do that with baby and husband not knowing.
I arrive at the store, walk to the pick up center in the back. Of course no one is there so I press the call button. I wait for about 10 minutes until someone finally arrives. By this time of course there is about 10 other people behind me. The employee takes my order slip and goes into the back. We wait, about 5 minutes later another employee walks by and asks if we are being helped. I said I was but no one else was. He apologizes and says the wall is full of pick ups, ignores everyone else, continues to the door but just before ha this is the best... he takes his walmart shirt off to let the whole bunch of us see his fat and sweat coming out of his tank top. I mean how low can you go. Eventually the other guy comes back with my box and I leave. Now to complete my story, yep, not done yet - remember the game I ordered. Well in the mail the small package came and what do you know - IT'S THE WRONG FREAKING GAME! Basically I am returning the game and taking all of my business elsewhere because this company is pathetic.

I placed an order online on Nov. 25th that was to be donation for a Christmas Family, and was told it would arrive in two packages on Dec. 3rd and 4th. I was impressed when one of my items actually arrived early on Dec. 1st and when the other 23 items didn't arrive on the specified dates, I was understanding as I know sometimes things happen beyond anyone's control especially as inclement winter weather approaches. However, when Dec. 10th hit I began to worry. So I called customer service and waited all morning to reach an agent. This is when I found out that 9/24 of my items hadn't even shipped yet. As the gifts were needed to be distributed on Dec. 15th I cancelled those items and were assured that I would be refunded for their value.
On Dec. 11th I received 14 of my items and was relieved and feeling better now that I thought my order was all sorted out. And here it is Dec. 18th, my refund was supposed to occur in 3-5 business days and I still haven't received any word so once again I spent a ridiculous amount of time on hold to speak to customer service. The woman I spoke to was snippy and rude telling me that I needed to speak to my bank before I called so that "I would know what I was talking about". So I thanked her, got off the phone and did just that, where I was told that there are no funds on hold in my account. This is getting ridiculous, and is very disappointing as all I wanted to do was fulfill an in-need family's Christmas wish list.

Give me another reason to avoid walking a whole mile just to get in the store and get the essentials, bread, milk, meat and vegetables etc.... The set up stinks at best and there's no way to just run into Wal-Mart and grab 2 or 3 things without major advance planning. We aren't talking about a 10 minute trip anymore but rather a half hour ordeal! I lament like another review writer from PA that it "used" to be a real blessing but the quality has hit rock bottom, can't find the help when you need it and can anyone tell me WHY there are 22 checkouts when there are only 5 being used and the place is full of customers? It's not like the greedy place can't afford to employ more cashiers now right!!!
Ok, lately my point is, I CAN'T drink regular coffee anymore as it will cripple my feet with gout. It is my ONLY drug so LISTEN UP!!! I use SIMPLY SMOOTH by Folger's. Recently I finished my larger container and all I could find to replace it was this tiny $5.38 and up container that I'd NEVER have purchased due to its ridiculous price for so little! Now it's the only choice I'm given as yet another item has been systematically removed from the shelves. I've had to travel to another town to attain this larger size for approx. a year & 1/2 now and so I make a point of having other reasons 2 or 3 times a year to go that direction.
Last time I went, it was basically for nothing because the coffee was indeed my whole point. I'd rather QUIT coffee than pay those outrageous prices for just barely enough for 2 weeks! I can't afford it and it causes me to make MORE trips - more gas! I'm checking out other stores and going over the internet. I will not be cowed into paying higher prices just because Wal-Mart is greedy for what I work so hard for. If Wal-Mart is so geared to the customers needs and wants, then WHY so many complaints? I don't know ONE person that "likes" going there and I'm always hearing "I HATE this place!" Believe me, I will find another way. We DO have a Kroger and Aldiis in this town!!!!! I can just simply do that! Give me a reason Wal-Mart!

I left work during my lunch break to pick-up an item I purchased online from your store located at: 1320 Altamont Ave Hannaford Plaza Schenectady, NY 12303. I was at Walmart because I received an email that the item/s I ordered was ready for pick-up. Order Number: **.
When I arrived at the above location I decided to spend time searching for additional gifts before picking up my item at the customer service counter. While looking for that perfect gift for my daughter I noticed an employee loitering around the store. He was pretending to be working in the area. This employee passed me by and walked around the general area I was located in on more than seven (7) separate occasions. I know because I counted each time I found him gazing at me and I have a VIDEO OF HIM!
Being ex-military and law enforcement I stopped the employee when he was passing me or in the area for the eight (8) time and asked if he was following me and why especially when there were so many other people in the area doing nothing but standing still or dragging packages off the shelves and just hanging out along the aisles. Your employee stated to me, "yes I'm following you" and started laughing when I asked him to clarify why he was following me he then stated no, "I'm only kidding. I am on lunch and just walking around." My reply "Okay, so why would you be following me or walking around the customer area while you're on your lunch break?" Your employee then made himself disappear shortly after I stated to him that I plan on filing a complaint regarding his behavior.
So when I go to the customer service pick-up desk I wait there for more than 20 minutes waiting for someone to respond and assist me in picking up an order even after two (2) of your employees stated to me they if I needed help and they would contact someone to help me. Essentially I spend the better part of my lunch hour being harassed and ignored by your employees! Ha, ha, ha very funny Walmart Executive in charge of profile training for black customers!

I ordered RCA Voyager7 tablets online on Thanksgiving. I ordered 3 tablets. Here is my experience. They charged me wrong price for two tablets and after making few calls they adjusted the price. I spent about few hours on calls and repeatedly told various managers about the mistake Wal-Mart made. Online order said it will be free shipping. I was expecting items to arrive at my home. Instead, items were shipped to local store. It took again half day of my time to go and pickup the product from the local store because of the local store customer service procedures. Two of the items have do not work. One is defective and the other one has hardware problem.
I called the Walmart and after long wait they told me to call the local store for a replacement. I called the local store and they told me they have the replacement tablet in stock. I went to the store and again I have to wait for few customer service managers to give me the replacement product. They had one unit of the replacement item but their computer said the item can not be given as a replacement because it can not be sold at the same price I had paid. The managers were not able to override. I spent at least 4 hours in the store. They wanted to give me a different model instead which I refused to take.
I have tried to call 1 800 Walmart few times and waited for 20-30 minutes after several prompts but nobody picks up the phone. The escalating procedure for customer service is very frustrating, time consuming and the customer service at the local store does not exist. Nobody, at the local store wants to be accountable for customer service and to voice your issue to corporate Walmart does not exist.

I'm hoping to keep you from making the same expensive mistake I did. If you buy several Visa or MasterCard gift cards at Walmart, make sure and count the cards before you leave the register to make sure you have them all. I didn't on Friday, and I regret it. I bought 10 gift cards Friday afternoon. I didn't check them before I left, and when I started to wrap them Friday night, the most expensive card in the group was missing. I went back to Walmart with all my receipts and the cards I did have, but basically was told - after they checked the recorded tape - that their apparently very high definition camera at the registers "clearly showed" the 10 cards bundled together when the cashier put them in the bag. Their register cameras must be more high tech than their cameras at the door if they could "clearly see" 10 individual cards in the bundle.
So, I was basically told there was nothing they could do. And because I don't have the card number, there was no way I can deactivate the card. There was no way the card fell out of the bag because I put the bag holding the cards into another bag we had (basically, double bagging them) and the bag went straight from my trunk to my kitchen. So, a warning to anyone shopping at Walmart. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

The other example was when there were no apples in store for FOUR days!! I could understand if these were unusual items but these are VERY basic everyday commodities and there is really no excuse for this..... TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE..... so I went somewhere else for my shopping. Also when you ask a staff member where something is, most of the time they have no idea, or they call someone but no one comes. Customer service is virtually non-existent and staff training obviously never happens. Really an appalling situation for a multi-billion dollar company!!!

The e-mail stated part of your order has been shipped then gave me estimated date of delivery as well as a tracking number. I checked it daily. The FedEx site said to check that I had typed the tracking number properly. I shrugged it off thinking it was a glitch of some sort. A few days later I had everything I'd ordered except for that item that had been shipped out first. I checked the tracking number yet again. This time it showed a history. It stated that I had given the wrong address so, it had been returned to sender.
I called the customer care number where I was on hold for 12 min just to ask someone why I had no problem receiving all but, that one item. The rep looked into it and said, "Oh I see what happened. Ma'am they were out of stock when you ordered the item. So, it never was sent." Annoyed at the fact that they had lied to me & sold me an item they didn't have I cut him off there & asked for a refund. "Ma'am my computer is running a little slow may I place you on hold?" 5 min later he comes back on to see if I'm still there places me on hold again. Another 5 min goes by he comes on says that the refund has been placed. It'll take 5-7 business days for the refund to happen.
The fact that they were deceiving has caused them to lose my business. I will never buy from them again. The part I don't understand is when I was doing my Christmas shopping there were a lot of listings that said out of stock. Why didn't this item? Why not just e-mail me the consumer stating that you are out of stock & offer other similar products or an offer to send it as soon as it arrives. Makes no sense to me. I can live without the product but, the fact that they tried to claim it was error is the part that gets under my skin.

The employees at this Walmart told me that they could not make this right and that I would have to contact the other Walmart where the item was sent or the customer service number from the website.
I called customer service and spoke to a rude employee named Roseann who bluntly told me she couldn't help me and then hung up on me while I was trying to explain that my item had been purchased with gift cards and not a credit card. I then called the Walmart that had my item and spoke to the manager. She said that they could not ship my item to the Walmart closest to me but that I would have to cancel my order and place it again. I explained that it was purchased with gift cards so there was no way to refund my money. She said that she would be off the following day and would leave a note to have her assistant mail it to my home. She said she would also have the person send me a courtesy email to confirm it. I never got an email so I tried calling the store to speak to a manager.
Twice I was put on hold, once for 7 minutes and I hung up and called back, then again for 4 minutes and I hung up again. I called again after work and spoke to another manager who assured me he would have someone call me right back. Four hours later when no one had called, I went back to the website to try to email the Headquarters. There is no email address on the web where you can write to the Walmart Headquarters to complain about their stores. Everything leads back around to having to email the store nearest you. So I tried the online chat and was told by someone named Shiva, which is the conversation at the beginning of this message, that I would need to call customer service again. I was at my wits end of bad employees giving extremely poor customer service. Then I got a call from the manager at the store with my item and she shipped it to my house.
I haven't gotten it yet, it's only been one day. But the stress and frustrations in trying to get my item has left me with the decision to never order from Walmart again. Amazon.com will get my business from this day forward. By the way, the website has a really bad bug in it that defaults your local store, so beware of this problem. I've had others tell me the same thing happened to them.

I had purchased a Gel spa sensations memory foam mattress from Walmart about a month ago. I paid about $300 dollars for the mattress. While I was at work my boyfriend decided to surprise me and go pick it up and set it up for me for when I got home and when I came home I realized that they had given him the wrong mattress. The mattress he had received was the regular 8" mattress in a box which is only about $129 dollars. At this point I wasn't angry just disappointed but of course I wanted what I paid for. The mattress was way cheaper than what I wanted. So I contacted Walmart and they said in order to return it I needed to place it back in the box. LOL!
Now pardon me when I say this but WTF! How am I supposed to do that? It came completely vacuum sealed. I also explained to her that when my boyfriend set it up for me he got rid of the box. Anyways long story short, it's been about a month and I am still sleeping on this mattress that is far less than what I paid for. So I am just out 150+ dollars and there is nothing I can do. This is pathetic, honestly. This company is huge but yet they have 1 to 2 star rating because they can't get their ** together and actually provide good customer service. We no longer shop at Walmart. We refuse to be robbed by this pathetic excuse of a company.

I made 7 attempts to buy my brother and his family some Christmas presents online. He lives in California and I in Montana. Before the first attempt I called my bank so that they would be aware of the discrepancy between the billing address and the pick up in store location (I wanted to avoid shipping costs and any possible damage to the TV I was buying for them). Every time I tried to make the purchase I would receive a cancellation notice from Walmart saying that my bank rejected my information. Every time I received the cancellation notice I would call my bank. EVERY SINGLE TIME MY BANK ASSURED ME THAT I WAS IN THE CLEAR TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE.
I was well below my daily spending limit and ALL of my information was correct and matched my Walmart account (which I only made for this purchase). I even checked my visa verification code and that was correct as well. The problem was on the Walmart side. I only shop online and I have never had a problem with any other company even if the shipping address differed from the billing. This was my first time ever using Walmart online. Because they continued to blame me and my bank for the problem this will be my last time using them. Seven attempts is my limit. Now I am left furious and with no idea how to get this present to my out of state family. Shame on Walmart.

I called my local Walmart to get a price check on NHL 2015 for PS4, they let me know it was $59 and change. I went to Walmart.com and it was only $39 and change. It said on their website, "Available for pickup today". So I place the order. I go up there and wait for over an hour for them to get it ready to only find out they were going to ship it to the store, when they have it in stock. They were going to have me wait for days before I could get the game. So I have them price match their online price and pay for the game in store. I try contacting Walmart.com via phone for 45 minutes, someone finally gets on the phone, asks me my name & as soon as I start speaking I am hung up on.
I call again spend 25 minutes and get to the wrong department. They transfer my call back to their main menu where I start again. 40 minutes later, I get through to someone and tell them I would like to cancel my order (status on their website is still "Processing" as I had just ordered the item 2-3 hours before). He says no problem and submits the cancel. They are a joke. I get an email yesterday saying my item is ready for pickup. So, the order did not cancel and they expect me to go to the store and do the whole refund crap. I'm furious with the time they've wasted of mine. I could not find anywhere on their site where to cancel the order either, or I'd have done that.

A multimillion dollar company does not have the power to refund money after many phone calls and emails stating they were sending me the item to my home.

We purchased a TV on 11/13/13 and insurance for our son. My wife tried to fix the problem herself because the tv had strips on it. We were told that it wasn't returnable, as it was cracked. Now I get involved by taking it back to Walmart and they say they can't take it back after 90 days. I talked to the manager and I ask him, "was it cracked" and he said, "no it wasn't" and for me to call the Asurion number. I did and it turned out to be another business. I called the 1-877-968-6391 number now for the second time and talk to a guy and told him I want his supervisor. We talk and he asked for me to send him a picture of the tv on and he would call me back no later than Monday.
My wife sends it. It's Tuesday and no phone call follow-up. I called today, Tuesday, and go through the same ** again. Talk to guy, ask for supervisor and send them the text of the pictures again. But this time I ask him to call me and later he calls my wife and she tells him to call me and he says "whatever" and tells her that they can't help us at all and hangs up. All I want is a new tv because that's what insurance is for and that's what I paid for - was insurance for problems like this.
Hmm, maybe we need to get insurance every time we go to walmart to shop. The people are rude and don't treat customers like guests. Is this what wal-mart is all about. I was a general manager for a restaurant for over 10 years and if I ever ever ever seen one of my employees treat a guest like that, I would fire them. Maybe that's what this walmart needs is people that care and not give us the runaround.

I ordered gifts online not realizing that Walmart.com still had my old shipping address which is in another state. When part of the gift showed as shipped in an email to me I called them. I was on hold for at least 20 minutes before someone who spoke very broken English answered. The package had not actually been shipped but the label had been created. I was told there's nothing they can do besides try to intercept that part of the shipment and cancel the order on the other part. They did neither. That was 3 days ago. Today I received an email that the other part of the order was shipped as well and yes to the wrong address. I was told it would be cancelled and my card would be credited in 5-7 days. Clearly that won't be happening.
I have sent multiple emails and made a few phone calls attempting to speak to a manager. They refuse to help you because they don't have to. Now my son is not likely to have Christmas until well after Christmas comes and goes! I don't have the money to buy gifts twice. Walmart refuses to provide decent customer service and I will never purchase from them online again. I manage a 7 physician OBGYN office and come into contact with thousands of shopping ladies a year. I will make sure they all know not to register for baby gifts with Walmart and to avoid ordering anything as their customer service is well below what I would have ever expected from them.

I went to Walmart #5056, 17585 Airline Hwy, Gonzales, La. with my son this past weekend to buy him the Beats headphones. He saw the color he wanted, & we proceeded to contact a sales associate for assistance. My son located an older female who says she did not have a key to the glass door & will get the person who does. She found the guy, & says he doesn't have one & will be back. Mind you, we're in electronics, but no one seems to have a key or know where the key is. The other associates are just walking around avoiding other customers.
Ten minutes past, we're still waiting. I ask a nearby associate, who's loading boxes in an aisle for display, "Can we get assistance please? We're waiting on a key." Her response, "Oh he's over there helping someone, he'll be there afterwards." I'm saying to myself, "he was available a minute ago". So we wait another ten to twenty minutes. Associates passing, no one asked if we needed help or had been helped. We just continue to stand by the glass of headphones waiting patiently. Finally, I decide to leave.
I shop at different Walmart stores frequently, & this one is no different than the other stores. Except a few of the other stores do not clean the floors. I go to different locations hoping to find one that suits me but Walmart's customer service is always below standard. Back in my day, employees were reprimanded for not providing the best possible customer service. Most of them do not want to do work, but they seem to complain about wages.
At this moment, I'm better off shopping at Target or Costco's. I have cards with all vendors, but will not continue my relationship with Walmart. They lost out on a $300 sale from me that day, & who knows how much total loss with every customer, they have ignored on other days. I have spent thousands through the years with this company.
Does this company/store not realize the customers are the ones who make you billions? If it were not for consumers, they could not be employed.Unfortunately, no other local store carried the color he wanted. I ended up ordering from an online retailer from ShopRunner, free 2-day shipping with my American Express. Many consumers, as myself, & others like me, will not continue to do business with a company that practice bad business. I suggest Walmart get their employees on the same page, otherwise this company will not continue to be successful for long with such poor customer service.

I was at Wal-Mart located at 1001 73rd St. in Des Moines Iowa tonight to get supplies for my fish tank. I looked at the fish to see what they had and I was appalled at what I saw. All tanks had two or more dead fish. Most of the living fish in all the tanks had ick. The filters in every tank were clogged with algae, fish waste, and decomposing fish. Standing next to the tanks all you could smell was the stench of rotting fish. It was obvious that no one had taken care of the fish in a very long time. This store should be banned from having and selling fish and there should be some type of fine for keeping fish this way.

Well ever think that some of the deals Walmart is advertising to you on Black Friday and Cyber Monday seem too good to be true? Well, in my experience, they were!! Went out Thanksgiving night and stood in line 4 hours to get deals at Target, one was a 7" Sony tablet for my son for Christmas. It was a hot item selling for 49.99 and sold out after I purchased one. Later, shopping online at Walmart.com, I saw a 7" Sony tablet with a case and keyboard also selling for $49.99. I thought it was the better deal because it had quad core instead of dual core. I ordered it and paid for it with paypal. I then promptly returned the other tablet to Target. That was a really big mistake because I never got that tablet from Walmart.com. After waiting about two weeks, I finally got an email to come pick it up at site to store. What they sent was not a tablet, it was some kind of GoPro camera.
I spent over an hour at the store trying to get assistance. Finally, I spoke to a representative and she said, "So sorry, the system will not let me reship it to you. You'll have to take a refund, that's all I can do." Can you believe it?? I wasted so much time on this and they really didn't care at all. So my advice to you is.."no, do not order those 'deals' if you really need them." I'm still looking for a deal on that tablet now so I can have it in time for Christmas.

I had worked at Walmart for 3 1/2 yrs. in grocery 10 yrs ago and it was a workable job. I recently hired back on with them. Now I understand why the are extremely understaffed. First they give you a 6-8 hr spiel on their policies, respect and customer service (as they did in the past). Told to take your training CBLs. Which were to be accomplished 2 hrs daily. I was put on the sales floor with no CBLs, no training and no trainer. Dept Mngr. was so busy she had only been able to spend maybe 5 min with me. There was no other associates in toys mind you this is Dec. toy season. I couldn't stock as all are cross referenced had no telzon or training on it. Was not allowed to dump any card board as had not been allowed to do the CBL. Couldn't answer the phone as I did not even know where it was.
Spent my whole day apologizing to the customer for not knowing any more than they did. Felt like a total useless idiot. I was frustrated to say the least. Told a Mngr. on my way punching out that I would not be back and explained why. Walmart spend their time and money on a bunch of talk and no action. If you can't empower your employees with the right tools and some respect for them, you will be the losers in the end. It's already happening, 80 employees down proves that. At 8.20 an hr. I feel sorry for the next person you put through this.

At the risk of not having the job anymore that I really like, I wanted to comment and HOPE Walmart folks in Bentonville are really reading these things. I am a cashier with Walmart. And I truly believe in quality customer service. Maybe I am old school but to me the most important person in our company is the customer. However- BIG however- if I do the right thing and make the person in front of me the most important person, at the time when I am working, I run the risk of not having a job.
Walmart's policy dictates that no employee is ever to say "I don't know" unless it is followed by "I will find someone that can answer your question." Walmart policy is to never argue with any customer, always ALWAYS be polite no matter what and request mgmt if that becomes necessary. It is our CSM's (floor supervisors) and on up the ladders responsibility to deal with an unhappy customer whether the complaint is legitimate or not. Have more than 20 items in the express lane? No cashier is ever to tell a customer to move. EVER!! Customer needs to find something? DO NOT POINT. If at all possible take the customer to the product or get someone ASAP that can do that.
Ultimately, my job security depends on the person in front of me and giving such great service that the shopper will want to return. However, in order to follow all those policies ALL my managers have to be on board - not just say they are and ALL employees must be absolutely directed to follow the policies. NOT HAPPENING. I was a customer when the founder was alive. As a customer I noticed a lot of unhappy changes when Mr. Sam Walton passed. Now I am retired from my past career and have a new one as a p/t cashier. I am proud of my job and my customer service. I am not proud of some of the disgraceful reaction of some higher ups and some employees when I attempt to follow company policy. Walmart has been very good to me overall and it saddens me to read about the treatment of our customers at many of our stores. This was not the founder's vision. It is very sad now. There are some excellent people in various stages of mgmt and some excellent employees. Unfortunately we very well may be a lost breed so to speak and not just at Walmart.

I have gone on overnights when asked. I have worked extra days when asked. I have never clocked in late. I was on overnights 7 pm to 4 am, Sunday through Thursday. From September 7, 2014 to October 1, 2014. I was helping Department Manager in domestics with mods in her department. I was also keeping up with my clearance aisles as that was my daily job in store 2758. Store Manager had left notes for us to do a deep zone in the clearance aisles for that night / morning shift. We were caught up on mods so he wanted us to concentrate on a deep zone there and then in domestics).
Department Manager in domestics and I had just come back from lunch on the morning hours of October 2, 2014. We were in the clearance aisle when we were approached by an overnight manager of some sort (male) and an assistant manager (female). They both stood right in front of Department Manager of domestics and I...no more than a foot from us. The male put his finger in my face and said “You" then he put his finger in Department Manager of domestics face and said "You". While his finger was in my face I had to pull my face back from his finger as it was right in my face. Then he put his thumb over his shoulder and continued to say "I want you out back and I want you dealing with the clearance." The male’s tone was loud, nasty and condescending and having a finger in my face was threatening to me.
While the male is speaking to us in that manner Assistant Manager female is standing right there and the only thing she says is (while holding a greeting card with some character on it) "I really like” (and she said the name of the character...but I am sorry I do not remember the name of the character). Then the male and female managers walked off. Awhile later while I was "dealing with the clearance out back" I was approached by the male again. I was putting comforters and sheet sets on the black span and flagging them in the action alley next to the clearance aisles. The male asked me if I was dealing with the clearance out back and I replied "Yes. " He then says to me "You're such a sweetheart." I have to be honest with you at this point I was very upset, close to tears, mad, and really just wanted to walk out and go home. I did nothing to deserve being treated this way and Assistant Manager female did nothing to stop him in any way. I finished my shift and clocked out. I had already decided that the second time I was approached by the male that I would return to the store that morning and talk to Store Manager about what had happened.
I went back to the store, it was early morning and Store Manager was there. I went out back and saw him talking to Assistant Manager female from the last night...so I did not go to him. I went to Personnel and talked to them. I did not tell them what had happened I just told them that I needed to speak with Store Manager about an incident that took place during my shift. They got a hold of Store Manager over the walkie talkie and told him that there was an associate that needed to speak with him. Store Manager replied that he was far too busy and that it would have to wait until later that afternoon. At this point I'm trying to hold back the tears... and I'm feeling like I am invisible and that I just don't matter. I just wanted to get this over with and dealt with... it took a lot to come back to the store in the first place never mind a second time. While I was trying to pull myself together Store Manager walked past personnel and into his office. Personnel told me to pop my head into Store Manager office and let him know I was the one that needed to talk to him and I would be back later. So I walked to Store Manager office and stood in the doorway and waited for him to pause from his conversation with an Assistant Manager. Store Manager made eye contact with me and asked what I needed and I told him I was the one that needed to talk to him and I would be back later that afternoon.
When I mustered the courage to go to the store a second time...my husband came with me. It was late afternoon. I left my husband out in the photo lab, which is the closest place he could be without actually coming into the back of the store. I walked past personnel where Store Manager was, having a conversation. I stood out in the area between the personnel office and Store Manager office and waited for him... as Store Manager did make eye contact with me as I walked by... so he knew I was there. While I was waiting an associate from deli walked past me, stopped, backed up, and looked at me and said that I looked like I was going to cry. Well that was all it took...I burst into tears. She hugged me and I asked her if she would please tell Store Manager in personnel that I needed to talk to him. She told Store Manager that I was out there and needed to talk to him. Store Manager came out and took me into his office. Store Manager waited while I tried to compose myself. I do not cry in front of people so this situation felt so far out of whack to me. I proceeded to tell Store Manager the story I just told you, while he took notes. Store Manager told me he would talk with all involved and that this situation would be handled.
Store Manager never did talk with Department Manager in domestics. To this day I do not know how it was handled or if it was handled. I never have had a follow up on this situation nor have I been apologized to. It feels to me as if it was just swept under the rug. That night when the male put his finger in my face I had two other employees comment to me that the male had been hateful to them. Fast forward to October 19, 2014. At this point I was back on days and had been since October 6, 2014. I had a clearance partner who came from electronics. She and I worked great together and we got along perfectly. I liked having the help in clearance and since we were told that the three aisles in the middle of the store were to be moved to the clearance aisle in HBA it was nice to have an extra set of hands to do that. She had a different schedule than I did.
On Sunday October 19, 2014 my husband and I stopped in to the store to pick up a few things we needed for the work week. I stopped by the clearance aisle to say hi to her and see how she was doing on the project of moving the aisle as I would not see her that next day Monday (she had it off). I wanted to get a feel for where she had left off and know where I needed to begin the next day. While I was talking to her she told me that a Zone Manager told her (my clearance partner) that Store Manager wanted her (Zone Manager ) to tell me on Monday October 20, 2014 that I needed to step it up because I was too slow and that I was anal.
Hearing this my first thought was why isn't Store Manager coming to me and telling me this...as he had just told me that he would be my direct boss as clearance didn't really have a manager. Why pass the buck to someone else that has nothing to do with that part of the store and was not my manager in any way. Second thought was why is Zone Manager saying anything to my clearance partner...as she is not me. Why say anything to anyone but to me? So at this point I knew I was going to be confronted by Zone Manager. I was alright with this because what was the big deal? She had a message to relay to me and so I will try and step it up. I mean really if you have a problem with me by all means please do come and say something to me otherwise how else will it be dealt with and fixed?
Monday October 20, 2014. I waited to hear from Zone Manager. I did not hear from Zone Manager. Towards the end of my shift Department Manager of domestics came over to my clearance aisle and she could tell I was upset. I told Department Manager of domestics what was going on and she told me that Zone Manager came to her (Department Manager of domestics) and told her that I was too slow, needed to step it up and that I was anal. So now I have heard this from two people...and not from the one person I should have heard it from. During this week Store Manager was on vacation as he was moving into a new house and had the week off...so he was not in the store at this time. Department Manager of domestics at this point told me that what Zone Manager was doing was against Walmart policy and she (Department Manager of domestics) went to an Assistant Manager and said something to him about this situation. By Thursday October 23, 2014 I still hadn't heard anything from Zone Manager. So it had now been 4 days.
After lunch on October 23, 2014 I was helping Department Manager of stationary in her clearance aisle...and she said something and I made a smart comment about being too slow...because at this point I was understandably upset. I mean seriously what the heck did Zone Manager do? Announce this at the morning meeting? Department Manager of stationary said she had heard. I asked Department Manager of stationary what she meant by that and she said someone had told her I was slow. I did get it out of her (Department Manager of stationary) who said it and was told it was Department Manager in electronics. Now whether Department Manager in electronics heard it from Zone Manager or said it herself...I do not know and at this point I did not care. I was seeing red. I'm sorry but please try and see this from my side of things...I can take criticism. I want to do my best. I take pride in my work. If you have a problem with me or something I am doing please come to me and let me know. I am not a mean person...I am very positive...and I am very nice. Hearing it once is alright...but from different people over and over you start to feel like you really do suck.
At the end of my shift on October 23, 2014 I asked my clearance partner to please let Store Manager know that I would like to talk to him...as she wanted to talk to him as well...because she did not think what was going on was right either. I was going to be off the next three days. My clearance partner did get a hold of me and told me that she did tell Store Manager that we wanted to talk to him. Monday October 27, 2014. I was back at work. It had been eight days now that I had still not heard from Zone Manager. Store Manager was back at the store and when I saw him I told him I needed to speak with him and it was important. Store Manager told me he did not have time that day to speak to me.
Tuesday October 28, 2014. I saw Store Manager and told him again that I needed to speak with him and that it was important...was told that he Store Manager did not have time to speak with me that day either. So now it has been nine days that this has been going on. What did it matter anymore...I was done asking. You have to agree with me that this is getting ridiculous...I mean nine days? Anyway later that day Store Manager came to the clearance aisle and told me he could talk to my clearance partner and I on Thursday October 30, 2014. So that would be day eleven. I told Store Manager that to not even bother because at this point I was exhausted and it had been way too long that it basically didn't matter any more...I felt defeated, sad, and at that point was done caring. I mean why bother? Eleven days...that's almost two weeks...unacceptable.
I had gone to the right people...I was trying to do the right thing and take the appropriate steps. You can only take so much before you get to a point where you just don't care anymore. I finished out the rest of the work week. Some time before this situation we had our first Spark meeting. I went...because I like to get involved in my job. While in this Spark meeting we were talking and discussing the results of a survey we all had to take at the store. Zone Manager was there as well. Store Manager wanted to know what were some of the problems we had in the store that needed to be worked on. Zone Manager spoke up and said that the Assistant Managers in that store needed to learn to keep their mouths shut about certain situations in the store...that when someone was fired or coached they needed to not tell everyone because that was how all the problems started. WELL ISN'T THAT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK?
I wrote a detailed e-mail to Walmart ethics on November 12, 2014 and didn't receive any reply. I called Walmart ethics on November 16, 2014. I was told that they don't deal with these complaints and I needed to work my way up the chain of command. I got an e-mail from ethics the next day telling me again that they don't deal with this kind of complaint and to contact the Market Human Resources Manager. I contacted the Market Human Resources Manager on November 17, 2014 and he wrote back that same day and told me that he would look into it and he would be visiting the store that week. Now it is December 6, 2014 and I haven't heard anything from him. I sent him another e-mail telling him that it has been almost 3 weeks and haven't heard anything and asked him if this was the way they deal with complaints and wanted to know if maybe they were just sweeping this under the rug and or just telling me what I wanted to hear to pacify me. I also told him I was disappointed. Beside myself...chain of command does not work. Policies there do not work.

I bought a toy castle accessory at Walmart the week before Thanksgiving - in the clearance isle for 14.88 marked that price and all. Then last night 12-5 I'm back at the same store shopping and in the same clearance. Isle and same spot there is that toy I just bought with fresh stickers pricing it as 30.00. Yes so how does a toy on sale double in price for black Friday/holiday deals. This is absolutely wrong. This company makes so much money but yet they price gouge for holidays and all they care about is making that extra dollar. But not everybody has a extra dollar or in this case 15.12. So beware of their "deals".

Horrible experience ordering 5 bikes through Walmart.com. I ordered 4 bikes for angel tree. I was told the bikes were in the store and ready for pickup. I even got an email confirmation that the bikes were ready to be picked up. When I got to the store, I was told that actually there were none of the bikes I had ordered available and that I would have to cancel the order online if I didn’t want to wait the 6-9 days for delivery. To make the whole experience worse, the online order status site was flaking out and I was unable to get confirmation that my order was canceled so I then had to spend 20 minutes waiting for a customer service rep on the phone.

I recently bought a collapsible 4-way tire iron at Walmart. The very first time I used it, it broke before getting even one lug nut off my Jeep. I was stranded on the side of the road with a brand new jack and brand new broken tire iron from Walmart. Upon returning home, I went to my local Walmart on Albert Pike in Hot Springs Arkansas to exchange the broken tire iron for a new one. I would have like a refund, but because I had no receipt that wasn't an option. Who would keep a receipt for a tire iron? I've never even heard of one breaking or malfunctioning in any way.
During the exchange, the lady behind the counter at the customer service desk said there was nothing she could do because there was no UPC code on the tire iron. I suggested I go back to automotive and find a new one that has the tag. She consented. She then asked me for my identification and would not take it because it has a crack. It isn't broken - it has a crack. I said, "I'm not trying to cash a check. I am attempting to exchange faulty merchandise that I bought at this store." She called a manager who said she would accept the identification "pending." I said “Pending what?” She replied, "Pending whether you are a repeat offender or not." "Offender? How?" I asked. Her response: “to see if you habitually return items without a receipt.” “Ma'am, I'm not returning an item. I'm exchanging it because it is broken.”
In the end I got the new tire iron but the amount of hassle and insult I suffered was certainly not worth it. I hate being accused of a crime I didn't commit. Walmart is absolutely the worst store on the planet. They not only treat their employees poorly, they treat the general public with contempt as well. I shop there as infrequently as possible.

On 11/25/14 my son purchased a PS3 video game at the Alliance Ohio Walmart (#**), at that time he also paid extra for a 2-year free replacement plan. When he attempted to play the game it would not load, and each and every time it does the exact same thing, it will not load so that the game can be played. I contacted Amanda (employee #**). After calling the 1-877-968-6391 claim coverage number, she asked me a few questions about the game and then told me that the game needed to be taken back to the store because it was still under the store warranty period, and since the game is not physically broken or scratched it is not eligible for warranty through the 2-year program.
On 12 /4/14 my son returned to the Alliance Walmart in Ohio to either exchange the game or get a refund and was told that since there were no games available they could not exchange it, and he was also told that they would not give a refund for the game due to copyrighting issues??? I would just like to know what kind of scam Walmart is trying to pull, a game was purchased and a 2-year free replacement warranty was also purchased at the very same time, and yet we are being told that it cannot be exchanged and a refund will not be issued for a game that has NEVER work from the day of purchased.
I find it very irritating that I not only felt as though I received the run-around when I called the claims number, and that they told me to take it back to the store, but that my son received that run-around when he drove 20 minute from our home to the Alliance Walmart to do exactly what the individual at the claims department had advised us to do and your customer service people were not only rude but disrespectful to him, and treated him as if he was trying to do something dishonest or illegal. Why should a customer purchase a warranty from your dishonest company if you have no intention of honoring the warranty???
Warning, I will make it a point to post this complaint on every blog and customer complaint site all over the Internet so that others will know just exactly how dishonest and misleading your so-called 2-year free replacement warranty practices actually are at Walmart.

I called Walmart.com again and they were useless. I emailed customer service to complain about this and didn't even get a reply back from them.

I recently bought a $167 doll house for my daughter in Walmart.com. 2 days later, I saw that the price dropped to $149. I immediately emailed Walmart, only to receive an automatic mail to try to cancel the product. However the product already shipped. We picked up the doll house at the store and were told to contact Walmart over the phone to get the $18 difference. When my wife finally got hold of Walmart representative, he told her that Walmart will not reimburse us as the deal is no longer valid and had passed. We however emailed Walmart WHILE THE DEAL WAS STILL ACTIVE!!! We COULD have ordered a new one for the reduced price, and just return the first one for full reimbursement. But out of basic common sense (Which Walmart apparently lack), we preferred to be sensible and save Walmart the trouble. Apparently that was the wrong move.

This is really where my complaint is: when I went to WalMart they told me I would have to send it back to the manufacturer.

I ordered a box spring from Wal-Mart, but I called the delivery team to cancel it the day before the scheduled delivery day as I found that it might be too high for me if I put a box spring in between the bed frame and the mattress. I asked the lady from the delivery team if I still needed to call walmart to cancel the order, she said no. She said she would inform Wal-Mart and walmart would issue a refund to my account. A month later, when I received a credit memo via email, I was shocked because walmart only issued a refund of $88 while I paid $188. They charged me $49 for shipping and another $49 for return shipping. I called the consumer service center and talked to the representative and the supervisor saying that I called to cancel before the delivery and asked why they charged me $100 for something that I have never received. He kept asking why I called the delivery team, but not walmart. I told him that's the instruction on their email and asked him to call the delivery team to confirm my call about the cancellation. After he kept me waited on the phone for 5-10 minutes, he agreed to credit me one $49, but not the other $49 for the freight he said.
I asked him why I should be responsible for the $49 freight charge when I called to cancel before the scheduled delivery date. He claimed that it's already shipped, so walmart shouldn't be responsible for it. Basically, I lost $49 for something that I have never received, probably $98 as I haven't seen the credit of $49 yet. Not sure if they would really credit one $49 back to my account. I will never purchase anything from walmart.com from now on.

I e-mail Wal-mart and they reply that they can "try" to cancel one order, but that it may be too late. I will have to return it when it arrives in a few weeks - which is ridiculous because, both orders did not ship until 3 days later. They recommend returning one order. Then I ordered something else on the day after the first incident. It gave me a list of stores to pick up my items, but then it gave me the wrong store- the one FURTHEST away. It said to pick up my order in a few hours. The next day I get a refund because they could not locate my items.

Unfortunately, with Walmart you sacrifice competence and customer service just to save a measly couple of bucks. I went to this particular Walmart (Walmart store # 937, 2795 Chastain Meadows, Marrietta, GA 30066) to send some money via MoneyGram. Well for one, the line was long and no one was at the Money Center. Someone ultimately called someone, but the line soon grew.
Some loud and outrageous young man with deer antlers came and decided to help with the line. I believe according to his name tag, he was a customer service manager, but he was clueless. Before started the transaction, we asked him what was the limit and fees and he didn't know. He asked the other woman, then threw his hands in the air and said that he didn't want to do this anymore when we told him how much/to whom we were sending the money. BTW, next day Walmart and I spoke to MoneyGram, come to find out that this customer service manager and the other Walmart crew were wrong in the limits and process to send the amount of money we were trying to send.
After this customer service manager left (upon refusing to do our money transfer), another Walmart employee took over. She was polite, but she was also a bit clueless. When she printed out the receipt for me to sign, I advised her that the recipients name was not like how I put it on the MoneyGram order. So, there you go, that customer service manager was busy coming up with reasons to refuse to do the money transfer, instead of inputting the information correctly on the transfer. But, thankfully, the other Walmart employee fixed it. Now, when this other Walmart employee completed the second money transfer, my address was wrong. I asked her to fix it, but she refused saying that it was not necessary. I insisted, but she insisted, so what can you do? I took her word and was wrong.
The next day I get a call from the recipient of the second money transfer, letting me know the transaction was blocked. I went back to Walmart and the employee at the Money Center called MoneyGram and MoneyGram advised the Walmart employee that Walmart was wrong about the limits on money that could be sent.
Well, after staying on/off hold for the longest, and several transactions done by the Walmart employee and another manager to resend the money, there was an error in the recipient's name. Again, I asked that it be fixed, and had to wait again. So, I browsed the store and came back. Well, the manager came back again to help the Walmart employee and told me he corrected the recipients name, but could not give me another receipt showing proof of it. I was upset, but what can you do?
Two three hours later, I get a call from the recipient, letting me know that he cannot pick up the money because of the spelling of his last name. I, at past 2PM, have not had any breakfast, spent most of my morning trying to fix Walmart's error from the previous day, had to jump into my vehicle, spend time and gas to drive back to Walmart.
When I went back to Walmart, I asked for the store manager and all I got was several floor managers who claimed that there was no store manager present, but they would take my information. I got even more upset. Then, one of these floor managers smacking chewing gum and talking to me like I'm a fool - said that she was refusing service to me. Mind you, not once did she even apologize for the piss poor service I had and/or cared to ask why I was so upset. I left her and went to the Money Center, and just like how I was allowed to go to the front of the line earlier that day, I did the same.
Well, this floor manager, she followed me. The customers were upset because I went to the front of the line. I tried explaining to them that I've been here earlier this morning, that the recipients of my money transfer were standing by waiting on the money, and I needed to fix this. The floor manager called security and I pulled out my cellphone to start recording and was told to leave the building. I refused and continued recording and both the floor manager and some guy she called (perhaps store security) told one of the customers in line to go ahead and call 911 because they were doing the same. So, I left the store.
Therefore, after two days of going back and forth to Walmart, being told erroneous information, being disrespected by Walmart and its employees, I was kicked out of the store. Now, they can say what they want to say about my conduct today, but after being yanked around for two days, spending gas and time to do a simple transaction that should have only been done once from the get-go, how would you feel? Wouldn't you be upset? So, there you go, discounts in exchange for incompetence and beyond garbage for customer service.

Location: Albuquerque, NM Coors and I-40. I purchased a Black Friday prepaid phone online. Was excited to get this late gift for my dad from same day store pickup. Upon arrival and pickup the phone does not activate. The supervisor was willing to let me exchange it, and asked me to meet in the electronics. I was asking the associate on duty which phone might be comparable to the one I purchased. Upon seeing me asking the associate questions she decided not to come verify the exchange. I returned to site-to-store after a 10 minutes and asked if I was forgotten. She claimed she saw me being helped and thought I was okay. I asked her to come back to the phones so I could verify the exchange (as this was a black Friday deal the original price was 99.99 reduced to 39.99).
The comparable phone I chose, I found out, I would have to pay the difference. I let the supervisor know that was unacceptable, and I wanted a phone comparable to the one I purchased. She repeated that I can take the Moto G they had, but it would not work, and any other phone I would need to pay the difference. I replied, "It wouldn't make sense for me to take a broken product. I want a comparable phone at the price I paid." She pointed to an entry level phone, and said, "You can get this one." I told her "No." I explained that I purchased a phone and came to pick it up, to find out they do not have my product. She replied, "We do have it, it just doesn't work. You can leave with it if you want, but it won't work."
At this point we're going in circles, and I ask her to make the exchange for the phone I chose, even though it is a downgrade. She said, "You expect me to give you this phone at the same price, when you've been disrespectful the entire time?" I did not respond. "I'll give you the phone, even though you've been disrespectful," she added. While walking back to the site-to-store location, I decided this was not okay, for her to call me disrespectful, after I asked for a comparable phone for something I bought during a sale. I told her I wanted a refund and wanted to be done with the situation. I let her know, "It is not okay for you to treat customers this way, regardless of how you feel. Whether you feel I offended you, I am a customer and you cannot speak to me that way." I let her know I would complaining about the transaction.
Upon calling the manager, she knew the situation. I come to find out from the manager that the supervisor claimed I called her a derogatory name, which is completely untrue. She acknowledges that she wasn't there, and did not know what actually happened. The only name I called her was the name I saw on her name tag. She said I need to watch my language when with associates. At this point I'm really angry. I reply to the manager on the phone that her supervisor lied, and she did not act professionally. I pointed out to her that she shouldn't tell me I should watch my language, when she wasn't there to verify there was any foul language at all. The manager said, "The way you're talking to me, I can see how you are. You act that way, you can expect to be treated this way." She then hung up on me. All this for a black Friday phone. I hate to avoid this store because it's very close to my home, but I feel so angry that they will pass judgment on me, lie, and dismiss me, all for wanting what I paid for...

I did so and was advised they did not have it. I had someone at the store at the time of the alleged sale at 8:00 p.m. and was still advised they did not have the item. I attempted multiple times online and always got the same option. I have two screen shots of this showing times and even the "ONLY ONLINE" banner. I contacted 1-800-Walmart at the direction of the local store advice when trying to complain about the issue. I was waiting almost 45 minutes when I finally gave up due to needing to return to my parental responsibilities too. I tried again today 11-28-14 to contact them to address the matter. The first time I spoke with a Gabriel and Jackie (supervisor) who both stated it was error on Walmart's part, but there is nothing they can do but apologize and I can leave feedback on this site.
I explained that is unacceptable, that I did everything as a consumer I was supposed to do to obtain the sale item only to be told no one has this, that it was posted as online in error, and Walmart has no recourse or compensation for this. I asked if there were some other person I could complain to or speak with that this was unacceptable, and Jackie hung up the phone on me. I immediately called back (total between to the two calls expending 1 hour and 36 minutes of my cell phone time), to which I was then answered by an agent named Catherine. She was by far the nicest of the four associates/agents I spoke with. She explained the error as well, put me on hold, talked to a supervisor and came back stating because I hadn't placed an order (although the site would not allow me to), there was no compensation or recourse Walmart had to address this. I asked her for an outside agency/entity I could file a formal complaint against Walmart as this made no sense and was apparent it was their company who had this error, yet refused to remedy it with offering me a comparable computer for the same price or anything because THEY (WALMART) would not let me place an order.
She offered to let me speak with a supervisor advising that was all she could do. I agreed and spoke with another supervisor named Corey, who stated he would not hang up on me as the previous one had done when I advised I was asking for an outside agency I could file a formal complaint against Walmart on because they had refused to remedy this matter while owning it as their fault. He stated the information I had been told was correct, but that he could offer for me to find a computer I was willing to accept and they would adjust the price of. My assumption obviously was they were either adjusting the price minus the $159.00 I was going to pay for the one or the $139.00 savings I was getting off the one I had tried to purchase.
I located one which appeared by all accounts to be the same computer except that it had multiple items like a case, mouse, etc. with it for $299.00. Corey then advised he could take fifteen percent (15%) off that displayed price. I advised that was nowhere near the savings of the other one, that $44.85 was the savings off that which wasn't even close to what I was saving on the one they erred on. He stated that was all they could offer for me to locate one and I wouldn't pay the advertised price. I continued to pursue but was unable to locate one that was either in stock or close to the one that was on sale and thus was unable to find one. I then asked again for an outside agency contact, he directed me back to the same 800 number I had contacted and to press 2-2-1, (which I later discovered was customer relations for store issues). This issue arose outside of the store first and should have a comparable resolution!!!

I waited approximately 6 hours for a Walmart.com sale to arrive on Walmart.com; during a Thanksgiving sale event that never appeared on Walmart's website. This was supposed to be a Christmas present for my thirteen year old daughter. I spoke to two online agents and two local Walmart sales agents at my local Walmart store regarding a Dell laptop that was in a very misleading Walmart flyer I had received my Thursdays morning paper.
According to the first Walmart.com rep, I had spoken with at 6 pm, stated that the sale had not started yet and that they had plenty of stock of the particular item. The rep suggested that I wait, and refresh the webpage and the event should be on at 8:00 pm. During this time I waited, constantly refreshing the webpage, waiting for a cart button to show up. This never happened. I called Walmart.com back for a second time at 8:10 and the Walmart rep claimed the sale had not started yet and that Walmart had plenty Dell Laptops in stock.
The rep suggested that I still keep trying and that it should come on at midnight. Again, I waited up, constantly refreshing the webpage looking for a cart button that never materialized. At 12:10 in the morning; I called Walmart.com and spoke to a supervisor that stated that the Walmart.com sale went on at 8:00 pm, and they sold out of the item shortly after 8 pm. I told him that I was refreshing my webpage every few seconds before, during and after 8 pm, and the sale was never happened. There wasn't a visible cart button. I also told the Walmart supervisor that I had a Walmart.com rep on the phone after 8 pm, which stated that the item was still in stock and to wait for the sale! I missed out on other local sale events because of this!

I need a few grocery items just before Black Friday's Thursday 8pm sale. There was yellow tape blocking a lot of aisles and there were so many people waiting in lines which made it impossible to get most of the items I needed. I got very upset because I would say "excuse me" to people in my way. I got so frustrated that I started yelling "get out of my way" and had to push my cart to tap people with it before they would move. One of the many sheriffs there came up to me and told me I should have known there was a Black Friday sale going (This was 8pm on Thursday night) and that I should have known I was not supposed to do regular shopping during the sale. I did not know anything about the sale or the "rules" about not shopping. The sheriff said I must know about it, it's been advertised on TV and newspapers. I told him that I don't have a TV and I don't read newspapers. His attitude was that I was in the wrong because I should have known about the "Wal-Mart you can't shop during a Black Friday sale" LAW.

There were dead fish and poor sick fish stuck in disgusting cramped tanks. I was very mad and disappointed. Next time I go look for fish I will scold the Walmart manager. Oh yes, and the betas were dying of finrot and ich. The fins were torn and there was no air for the poor fish in the container under the betas on top.

I purchased a turkey for our annual Thanksgiving Dinner. Upon cooking it Thanksgiving Day I found it to be spoiled! With 18 guests arriving for our meal the only recourse I had was to go to Kroger and purchase the fixings for a meatloaf. Needless to say our Thanksgiving meal was ruined! After everyone left I called Walmart to tell them about the spoiled turkey, I was shifted around to several people before getting to explain my situation. The gentleman said he was sorry and wanted to know if I had my receipt. I told him I didn't save Grocery receipts and he told me it was your policy that I had to have a receipt. After some small talk he ask me to come in to the store and he would try to help me out.
We agreed upon a time so I went to the store witch is about 15 miles away. I waited for him for several minutes and he finally sent another person to me. She ask for my receipt, which I didn't have so after some conversation, she finally gave me my money for the Turkey. So as it turns out my dinner was ruined, I drove 15 miles to see a manager who never showed and got the price of a turkey! I guess it doesn't matter about my 18 guest who mostly left to go to Cracker Barrel for a Thanksgiving meal and all the other food that got thrown away! All that mattered was I didn't have a receipt and he didn't have time to keep his appointment with me. Hope whoever reads this had a Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends and a good meal!

I purchased an e-gift card for my sister's birthday present. It was to be delivered in 24-48 hours. That was 16 days ago. I have made REPEATED attempts to either get the card delivered or refunded. After making threats of formal consumer complaints and file a fraud complaint with the bank to refund my money, they finally agreed to mail the card. Each response required me to do something different; i.e, create an account, provide an address, provide an email address, we can't refund because of this or that. I'm still not convinced it will ever happen. Given the nature of the complaints on this site re: the very same problem, and mdse from walmart.com not being delivered or refunded, I believe this rises to the level of fraud and deceit and there should in fact be legal action taken against them.

I bought a futon from this store. Two sales associates took it out on a pallet jack to my car. Since the box didn't fit in my car they removed the box containing the frame and the black bag containing the mattress and put it into my trunk. I thanked them and went home. I proceeded to take the box with the frame upstairs to my officer to assemble the frame with a friend of mine. It took us nearly 4 hours to put it together, but we did it! So she goes and gets the bag with the mattress in it opens it up and says, "Look they even gave us blankets"... I said, "What? it doesn't come that, where's the mattress?" At the same time I'm saying that she is saying "It’s all trash ripped up stuff." I'm like "Oh my god this just sucks."
So I bag all the stuff back up and drive back to Walmart, find the box in the parking garage where the two sales guys left it, even though they said they would take care of it. I wait in the very long line for my turn and the girl tells me, “Oh you have to bring all in.” I explained to her that we just assembled this thing and only need a mattress, why would I disassemble one to get another one to just assemble it again? It would make more sense for her to keep the frame in the nice neat little box it comes in and give me the mattress from another one. She says “Oh no we can't do that.” So I said "Fine okay I bring it all back but then I just want a refund" she says, "Fine." Now this was at 9:30pm & the store closes at 11:00. She told me what time they opened because there was no way to get back before closing.
Next day I go to return it and am told no. Now on the way in the store the cart pusher tells my friend and me about all kinds of scams the employees are into there. Like switching TV's out for bricks in the box, notebooks in the iPad box, etc. Here I had assumed this was happening because of a customer. Now remember the previous day I was told returning it was not a problem. But now the manager Wayne ** says I can't return it. He knew that either someone else returned it and it ended up back out on the shelf even though he swears they do not return merchandise like that to the shelf for resale or the employees were up to no good. "Yeah right Wayne, sure Wayne whatever you say."
But rather than assume responsibility for his store and his employees he chooses to screw me out of my money. So in a nut shell that Walmart has stolen my money. According to the return policy he should have returned it, no problem. Several other employees stated to my friend and me that those futons get returned all the time. I just want my money back. I know there are cameras in the store and I asked about the ones for the garage and the manager, Wayne, told me that the city of Long Beach takes care of those. The parking garage cameras would show exactly what happened in the garage and what was loaded into my car. Guess we can't look at those though.
At this point this is about the point of this, not the money. Walmart shouldn't have a person working for them that can't even follow a simple return policy. You can read right Wayne? Wayne you are a sad excuse for a leader with little or no customer service skills. I can only hope this sort of thing happens to you... what comes around goes around... so Wayne you have a pleasant day.

I had to drive back to the repair shop at a certain time and picked it up.

Many people unfairly criticize Walmart for lack of service and long lines. What needs to be realized is that Walmart can offer the low prices because they adopt a very thrifty operating system. You get what you pay for. If a person aspires for individualized attention, then they should go to a boutique store, where they will pay obscene prices for overvalued merchandise. Why pay over one hundred dollars for a pair of jeans when you can buy the same at Walmart for $19.97? No one will notice unless you bring it to their attention. The same philosophy holds true for all the departments. My being able to retire at a comparatively young age is partly due to the amazing value I receive at Walmart. Some of us do not care if something is locally sourced, free trade, sustainable, etc. We just want the best value for the money. I do not care if the item is made in China, Bangladesh, or Equador. All I want is the best bang for the buck. But, one cannot forget those who make a shopping excursion truly enjoyable.
Which is why I would like to single out several employees at the Harbison Boulevard location, Columbia, South Carolina, as embodying some of the finest service I have ever encountered in any retail establishment. First acknowledgement goes to Ty, Pharmacy Technician. He is a genuine, efficient soul who cares about his customers. Always goes far beyond the call of duty. Ty's demeanor is professional at all times. If I owned my own business, I would hire him in a second. Second is Margret, photo shop manager. Today I was shopping for items to give to needy families to make their Christmas better. While in the shoe department, Margret took the time even though it was not her department, to ask me if I needed help and needed any assistance. I watched her interact with other associates and was positive and upbeat. Last but not least is Frank, the greeter. A great guy working at an age far beyond retirement age. Friendly and a great ambassador for the Company. Great job, well done!

I have written before about the great service I have received at the Walmart on Harbison Blvd in Columbia SC. Yesterday's excursion was fantastic. First, Walmart is lucky to have Debra ** on its staff. I knew her from her days (or, more correctly, 20 years!) at Piggly Wiggly grocery store. After the store closed for business, Walmart hired Debra and her work in Customer Service is exceptional. I watched her handle difficult situations, and she follows every policy and never strays from professionalism.
However, besides Debra, Ty, Frank, Margret, and Demetrius, there is one associate I feel needs singling out. Her name is Michelle. My 10 year old daughter and I were checking out and Michelle was so nice and kind. She treated me and Kitana like we were gold. Efficient, cordial, and just the kind of associate any employer would want to have on their staff.
When leaving, Michelle was outside on break and I complemented her on her service and she profusely thanked me and stated just how important she felt it was to appreciate her customers. What a great person. This was approximately 9pm on 12/26/2014. Additionally, phenomenal service from Lamont. I am in the unique situation of being a 60 year old white male with mixed-race daughters (white/african-american) aged 10 and 14 and while some people treat me with scorn, Lamont and all of the aforementioned individuals treat me and my daughters with love and respect. Bless them.

So Walmart says I did not take out a extra warranty plan... What should do if this product so defective? So having a bedroom TV and using it about 80 odd times... the TV just does not work. I had At&t install the new connection and I had At&t come over and tell me the TV, it does not work. This was the black Friday special... If Walmart has knowledge the products they are selling is defective, then Walmart should recall and return the money... if lots of people have been having the same issue, fuse or power supply board blowing, then it is a ongoing product issue recall.
Selling Defective products to the consumer is criminal due to the fact of damage goods being sold without the consumers knowledge. Offering a extended warranty on a defective good is criminal behavior because the innocent is not aware the product was defective and should not be offered defective extended warranty knowing it is still defective as a product. The company who placed their name on the product they sell, knowing it has a defective issue of the power supply or fuses blowing and it counts as a extra cost to the consumer should not be sold without a label saying this product has a defective recall.

Wal Mart had it, except it was in a Locked glass case. I looked around for assistance and saw an associate stocking a shelf. I ask if there was anyone that could help me as the glass case was locked. She replied that she would get someone for me. I looked at my watch 1:31 PM. A few mins. later I heard a request over the intercom system to help a customer in the cosmetic dept. I waited for 15 minutes and no one showed up.
I saw my daughter talking to an associate that she knew. I motioned for her (my daughter) to come over and I explained to her that I had already been waiting more then 15 minutes for help. She went to find someone. #2 call over the intercom system was made. While waiting for help an associate Amanda was walking past. I said "Excuse Me" I was ignored. I again louder "Excuse me." She stopped and I told her I had been waiting for some one to help me. Her reply was "I have no key" and she proceeded with a man she was walking with.

I proceeded to the check out area, the cashier SARA was very nice and she was apologizing. I ask her what the associates name was (As the associate Amanda walked pass where I was checking out). I told the cashier it was not her fault and that I spend a lot of money in the store. There was NO reason for this to happen.

Everywhere in the store is someone asking to help. At Wal Mart, it is not given to the customer. We are a bother to the Wal Mart Associate. Get new management. Train associates to be courteous to the people that pay the pay check. I will only use this Wal Mart for minimum products.

My 28 year old daughter has worked for Walmart in city of industry for 9 years, we have had issues before but this year she has been Harassed, Stressed and Discriminated against. She is been told that she is being watch over the camera, she's too slow at her job, she has been disrespected in front of coworkers and degraded to crying at work because they get her so upset. She was written up on using cell phone and that same night another associate was called in to the office to be written up for cell phones usage and she came out of the office and told my daughter that she got emotional and started to cry so the manager told her it was OK she wouldn't get the write up. In my eyes that's discrimination. My daughter has a job coach for 30 hours a month. My daughter has been told she spends too much time with customers, takes too long with going to the bathroom, my daughter will stop and assist customers so they accuse her of taking too long of a break.
Management constantly tell her she is too slow but they will move her to 6 different Areas a night and then expect her assigned area to be recovered. My daughter learns from hands on and being repetitive. I have actually dates of things that they have done to her in the last month and I filed a complaint with Walmart themselves but not she is now being retaliated against by management. I need help, I do not think my daughter deserves this, she is diagnosed as Moderate Retardation and learning disabilities.

I worked at Wal-Mart for half a year. I was hired as part-time, but many weeks was working full-time. They are supposed to give you benefits if you work full-time 5 weeks in a row which I had more than once. If I would say something, they'd cut my hours for a week then bring them back up. A few weeks ago, after my back aching and no insurance, I went to one of the managers and asked to keep me at 32 hours if I wasn't going to get full-time benefits. He said that would be fine, I would be off Wednesday-Friday. It lasted a few weeks until last week. I was off Wednesday and Thursday. Come Friday, I didn't go since I was told I could be off those day. I worked Saturday and nothing was said. I went in Sunday and was fired for not being there Friday! It was from a different boss. I told him Jeremy said I could be off Wednesday-Friday, but he insisted I was supposed to have been there. I like how I was used the night before. If I had worked that Friday, I once again would have been there 40 hours without benefits.

I was a overnight stocker at Walmart and I did not last long even though I tried my hardest to hang in there. My first night of work, I was put with a "trainer" who showed me nothing and kept getting pulled away to do other things so I was on my own. In Health & Beauty which consists of 5 aisles I was completely unfamiliar with and was totally on my own. Not to mention, I had 4 pallets that were full and expected to be done by the night's end. I did the best I could and was figuring I'd be doing computer training to teach me how to work the hand scanner, normal procedures, etc. A week later I finally got to do the computer training. Actually, my first entire week of working, I was in a new section every day by myself trying to learn the area and learn how to break down pallets and figure out which products go where. None of my coworkers were helpful, if I asked for help I would be given attitude, told to ask a supervisor, or even had comments like "you don't know how to do anything yet do you?".
The majority of the people I worked with were much older and seemed threatened by having someone half decent looking and a brain in their skull since I figured out everything on my own in a week and was getting more pallet done than them. To the point I was actually asked to help people who have been there for 10 years because they were running behind, even though I had done more than my fair share of work (which was much more than what these people had completed). So I went along with it and helped out to be nice. Until the one lady that was threatened by me needed help and I went to help her. She said, "Oh you did all of your work that fast? No way, it must all be incorrect." And I said, "No, you can go check, I made sure everything was in the right spots and double checked before I finished." And she said, "Oh you must not have put the pallets, carts, or cardboard away then." And I told her I did all of that and actually helped other employees with end caps too. So I helped with the boxed pasta and she did the soups. In the middle of me finishing up the pasta she walked past me saying, "Dumb ** put the soups in the wrong spot, I knew she wasn't doing things right."
I said, "Excuse me? I've been on pasta and haven't done any of the soup, that's your job and must have been you." She went off on a tangent saying she's been there 10 years and knows every spot blah blah blah. So I finished helping and went to my supervisor and asked where else I was needed. After that, she told all of her "Friends" at work about what happened and they said I needed to learn respect and they would throw me looks and purposely drop carts full of items in my sections that didn't belong.
I also was asked to help in arts & crafts being told there was a pallet left that needed to be done within an hour. I went to help and it was still wrapped. I started breaking it down and the arts and crafts worker came over. She was larger in size and older, leaning on a cart because she was too lazy to walk on her own. I asked her how much she had tonight. She said she has that pallet and had a cart of returns and some bins. I said, "What?! I had 4 pallets stacked to higher than my height tonight and got it done" and she said, "Oh I'm busy." So I broke the pallet down, a third for her 2/3 for me. I got my 2/3 done, her cart of returns she claimed to do, and another half pallet they brought out. I went to check on her and she literally had maybe 10 items put away... In a hour. She works that section every night. Then I said, "Oh here, this is for your section" (we split the arts & crafts aisles up even though I took more aisles) and she said, "Jesus Christ I BLEEP-ing hate this place, do it yourself." So I left it there and finished my work, told my supervisor I was finished and clocked out when leaving time came around.
I told my boss and HR I could only work part time and 25 hours max. They had me scheduled 38 hours then 40 hours. At one point, I was scheduled 9 days in a row. 9 days. I told them about it and they said, "Oh we need all the help we can get and you get work done fast." I told them when I applied and accepted the job that I could only work part time. They said they'd fix it. Nope, they wouldn't listen. Then someone in IMS (in the back stock room quit) so they trained me to do back there since inventory was coming up. I did all of my work and then some. The employees back there felt threatened, would make snide comments, and would purposely screw me over on my breaks and lunches so I couldn't go. I had to go home one night because I had a migraine so bad that the room was spinning and I almost vomited. My supervisor said it was fine and he'd see me the next night. The next night I came into work, my coworkers were making comments saying I was faking and screwed them over. Even though we were overstaffed that night anyway.
So I quit. I quit because I was sick of being overworked, being treated like dirt by the jealous incompetent employees, and being accused of things I never did. I will never work or shop here ever again. And I encourage anyone reading this to do the same.
