I went in to pay my phone bill. The woman was rude. She started doing it and the host server went down. I can understand that but it had already approved my card. She said it didn't count. I said I needed a supervisor to take out the transaction. She argued but called one who cleared the credit card machine. I left. I went back 2 days later and before she tried, she said the host isn’t working but she would try. It came back no host so I said okay. I had not put my card in yet. I went back today and got in line to try again. She said to the other lady who I believe was named Sheryl I have issues with this one. I couldn’t believe she said that loud enough so I could hear it. When my turn came, she said, "You're next, and I said, "I guess I would wait for someone who didn’t have issues with me." The other lady was very considerate and when it said no host after it approved my card and I explained that it was on my bank statement even though it was put back in short order. She called a supervisor and had it removed.

Incorrect billing statement - Walmart and Sam's credit department has some of the worst customer service associate I have ever come in contact with. OMG, where do they come from? And how in the hell did they even get the ** job in the first place? I'm so ** pissed off. I am continually bounced around. How many Walmart/Sam's employee does it take to handle billing error?

Last week, I purchased some items at online stores including BestBuy.ca, Amazon.com and Gucci.ca, all approved. But yesterday, I received a cancelled order email from Walmart.ca. No reason given. The bill and shipping are the same and my card still have lots before the limit. The only reason I could think is maybe I only purchased cheap diapers because it is on sale with free shipping! It is my first experience buying at Walmart.ca online and I spent lots of time filling in the info to create an account. We use credit card at the retailer and does not require to fill in lots of info. "Even card cannot go through", was the reason given. Walmart, please do not waste your customers' time if you cannot provide a reason why you cancelled the order!

I just wanted you to know that Walmart (1807 West Craig Road, North Las Vegas, NV, phone number, 702- 633-6521) sells fake gold jewelry. Of course, they deny it and claim that the necklace is not from their store. It is hard to prove now, but I know for a fact that they sold me a fake necklace. In a nutshell, here is my complaint:
I purchased a gold necklace for my husband at the Walmart in North Las Vegas, Nevada. It cost approximately $280.00 and it was bought as an anniversary gift for him. Today (July 1, 2012), we took the same necklace to two different jewelry stores and were informed that the necklace is fake! The only real gold in the necklace is the 10K stamped clasp! The rest of the necklace can be picked up by a magnet. I am in total shock! This necklace has been on his neck since the day I gave it to him. It has never been taken to any jewelry store or repair shop and it is totally impossible that it has been switched by someone else (we live alone and do not have guests). But the fact remains the same; he has never taken it off since the day I gave it to him. I will do whatever I can to make sure that the world knows what type of quality jewelry or should I say down right fake and fraudulent gold that Walmart is selling to its customers.
I truly cannot believe this happened to me. I am beside myself thinking about the betrayal I have endured from this store. Is Walmart so broke that they need to steal their customers’ money?

I was totally turned down today for this that you show on TV on price match or buy one get one free! I also was standing there and in other lines, I've seen a total of 9 other families turned down also. Most people said screw it and left entire carts they've loaded with food. I guess this is the way you do business! I guess from now on, we will go back to Winn Dixie and or Publix to buy your food and may start shopping at other places for clothes. The average person shops there to save money and now will have to spend more shopping at Wal-Mart. So what happened overnight? You get a new district manger or store manager trying to throw his or her weight around. What a ** poor way of doing business. I doubt I will ever shop at that Wal-Mart again and maybe never again at any Wal-Mart after finding that there is not much of a discount!

I'm not sure this is the correct place for this complaint but I don't know where else to go. The Princeton, KY Walmart Supercenter has the absolute poorest selection and inventory I have ever seen at a Walmart! It just moved and changed to a supercenter a few years ago and the old "smaller store" had at least twice the selection and inventory of the new store. It is June in KY, the very beginning of summer, and they have already stopped keeping most summer items. This is just the complaint for today's visit, but for every visit, there is a complaint about selection and inventory. It is not just me. Every single person I have talked to has the same complaint - even the employees!
The Dollar General Store has more selection on many items, and that is very sad compared to a "supercenter." The problem has led me to start going elsewhere for what I can and has had the same effect on everyone I know. I hope whoever reads this takes it seriously and addresses the situation, not only for my sake, but for the sake of business. I'm certain they are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue yearly due to this problem. Thank you for your time.

I bought the wireless adapter at the Walmart store. When I opened it, the box was empty. There was nothing in the box. I went back to Walmart store and explained what happen so that they can return my money. They told me that Walmart was not responsible and that NETGEAR was the responsible one. I called NETGEAR and they told me to take the product back to Walmart store because they are the one responsible for the product. I only want my money back.

I just want to complain about Wal-Mart’s putting water in their ground meat. They can deny it if they want to, but they sell their meat in 20-ounce packages now instead of by the pound. And I know when I get this meat home and start to cook it, I have a huge amount of water cooking out. This is the expensive 93% and 96% ground beef and ground turkey. And by the time I get it cooked, I weigh it on my scale and I will have between 10 and 11 ounces of cooked beef. Now, this is almost fat-free meat, so there shouldn't be much cooking out of it. And as if that isn't enough, they charge huge prices for this stuff. Well, I have bought my last meat at this store. I will buy at one of the grocery stores from now on because they don't put all of the water in there. Wal-Mart just keeps on ripping people off and no one seems to be able to do anything about it. I am so angry and dissatisfied with them.

I used to go to your old store at least 10 to 15 times a week and never left pissed off. But this new place on US Highway 19 is nothing more than a large convenience store; everything is backwards as related to other superstores - the layout really sucks, and the absence of both a deli and bakery causes me to still shop in Inverness (a round trip of more than 30 miles). I live only 1 mile away. This place has too few checkers and slow check machines. And when a checker makes an error, it takes a long time before someone to come and clear it while my ice cream milk and other perishables melt or get warm. I now shop your store only when it is an emergency; otherwise, I try to avoid going there, choosing rather to go up into town, where I can shop faster with less headache. Whoever came up with your new store design should be fired. The place is a mess.

I was at Wal-Mart in Berlin, MD. I had not been there in a long time and noticed that they are selling fabric. I love to sew, and it is so hard to find fabrics in our local Wal-Mart. This just made my day. I began to shop around for some things that I could use, and as I was shopping, a couple of the employees started complaining about whatever it was that they had to do with the stock. It seemed like they were checking off the bolts of fabric on the shelves. One in particular was just screaming out real loud about her "situation." I felt so bad and out of place.
I proceeded to look around for some bolts of material and had them in my cart. The more she screamed and complained, the worse I felt about shopping. At one point, she said, "Someone just shoot me." This was a very inappropriate action for any employee, it seems to me. I went and put my purchases back on the shelves because at this point, I really did not feel like I should bother her to cut my fabrics. I was very disappointed that I was not able to get my material today from the Berlin MD Wal-Mart.

I am a 46-year old professional woman. I was at the Wal-mart Neighborhood Market tonight (corner of Indian School and Litchfield in Goodyear, AZ) with my 20-year old son purchasing about $100 in groceries. The cashier, **, asked my son for his ID. I told her that I am the customer and she insisted that children of customers must also be 21 years old to purchase a 12-pack of Heineken beer with groceries. There was a customer in the next aisle about 30 years old with about a 4-year old child. I asked her if she would deny him purchase of beer and she said that she would use her "common sense" and know that he would not give his small daughter alcohol (implying that I would). I asked her what the difference was and she didn't have a good explanation.
I asked her for the store manager and she directed me to the customer service manager, **, who backed her up. I left without purchasing any groceries. I was so hot about this issue that I went home and called the store to get the names of everyone involved. I was then told that who the cashier told me was the store manager was actually not. I returned to the store and confronted her with the store manager and another cashier that the actual store manager, **, pulled in to be a "witness" (**). The cashier had the same flippant bad attitude with me as she did when I tried to buy groceries. I am absolutely disgusted with Wal-mart and will never shop there again.
The most embarrassing thing about it all is that in front of other customers, she was implying that I was purchasing alcohol for my under-age son. I am a doctor of Psychology, a specialist in Neuropsychology. I would never stoop so low to purchase alcohol for my underage son. The entire event was absolutely ridiculous!

I shop at the Wal-Mart on Thomasville Road near Kerry Forest in Tallahassee, Florida. I have purchased spoiled/bad food several times from this Wal-Mart location. I found that the Wal-Mart brand milk does not stay fresh but sours before the expiration date. I have purchased Wal-Mart brand stick butter that was spoiled. I have purchased Hillshire Farms lunch meat in the Rubbermaid type container which was spoiled. I have purchased ground round that had a good date on it but the meat was spoiled. I find that when I return the items, the staff in customer service always refunds your money without any hassle. What is disturbing is their lack of concern when you tell them about spoiled food. Their attitude gives the impression that they have spoiled food returned regularly and it is no big deal. I believe there is a significant problem with the handling of food by the Wal-Mart employees. I would not feel safe purchasing food from a Wal-Mart store for my family.

I think the attendance in Circleville Wal-Mart sucks. It really needs to be worked on. You really need to look at other parts of the store than to judge people's attendance. If it wasn't for the cashier, you wouldn't have a store. We do a lot more than our share. We get called to other departments that we know nothing about and that's not fair. Then because we call off too many times, we get in trouble. We all have lives outside of work too and things really happen that you need to call off.

I took my 11 year daughter to Walmart on 6/13/12. She had her own spending money. We were in line and I let her go ahead of me. I was on the phone not paying attention when my daughter was paying for her items. When it was my turn to pay, my daughter had informed me that the cashier had told her that she was not old enough to buy the Pop-Its. And when my daughter told her she would have her mom pay for them, the cashier ripped them out of her hand and took them to the service desk. All the cashier had to do was inform me what was going on instead of being rude to my daughter. I’m not at all happy with your service. Very rude and disrespectful!

I went into the Walmart on Tuesday because I noticed my Ghost Recon Future Solider was cracked. I got a customer service manager, who kept accusing me of breaking my game without inspecting it and refused the extended warranty. These were her words exactly, "We lose money on our warranties." Then today, I called the main manager. All he did was laugh and think they can handle all the complaints. I know we contacted the Better Business Bureau twice on these warranties and I am thinking about seeking the attorney general on them even though the main manager laughed at that also.

I was in Walmart Westbury, NY two weeks ago, around 8PM. I was looking for edible paper or sugar paper to decorate cakes, but the area was blocked with merchandise pallets and I was unable to reach the merchandise. I asked an employee, who was pulling out a pallet from the backroom, "How can I get the merchandise?" The employee said, "I don't know." What kind of customer service is that? I took boxes out to make space. I was putting my life in risk, something heavy can fall on top of me. I think there shall be a law that no pallets full of merchandise to pack out can be outside while the store is open, if they are not going to help.

I went to Wal-Mart to return a comforter that my wife and I received for our 20th anniversary. It was too small. It was a king comforter and I have a California King, which Wal-Mart does not sell. So, since I did not have the receipt, I was asking for it to be put on a gift card. In that way I could buy something for my wife and I to remember 20 years of marriage; however, I was told that Wal-Mart would have to see if a comforter had been sold recently. If not, they would not be able to return it. Needless to say, it was not returned. I have been to 5 different Wal-Mart stores, only to be told reasons - from it was over $50.00 or that I could exchange it for another one that they don’t sell at all or that I can take it back to the original store.
My daughter lives outside of Arizona, but could not put it on a gift card. I have read over the return policy and nowhere have I found any of those reasons on the return policy. So, here I sit with a comforter that does not fit my bed and I'm being told, “Oh, well.” It does not sound like very good management or customer service. This is not the first time I have been disrespected or treated like a piece of - well, I think you get the picture. What can I do about this? Well, I have contacted my attorney and just maybe that will get the attention of somebody inside the Wal-Mart stores.

I went to the local Wal-Mart on Nifong in Columbia, MO. Once again, the bathrooms were filthy. There was so much trash in the bin that it was contaminating the clean hand towels that were in a dispenser above it. There were dirty diapers, flies, paper all over the floor. I have never been in this Wal-Mart and gone to the bathroom and found it clean, never. There was a telephone to report this so they could get a #10. What a joke. The phone just rings and rings, no one answers. There's no place to leave a message. This is how this store must get a #10. They simply have no way for people to complain about the filth.
I will only go to Wal-Mart to buy products I can buy nowhere else; this is one of the reasons why. As a customer, you are treated lower than an animal because most barns would be a lot cleaner than the restrooms Wal-Mart provides their customers! I know no store/company can always have clean restrooms but it was very obvious that no one had checked these restrooms for quite a few hours!

Customer disservice - It started 2 years ago. A sign fell off a shelf and cut me above the eye. I bled like a stuck pig. No one from management would respond when the girl in Electronics called for a manager to assist her. I super glued the cut closed. Today, I was given five dollars in quarters because no one would bring the cashier bills. I went to customer service to tell them about it. The young man manager thought it was more important to play with some electronic equipment than address my concerns. This is careless and sloppy management practice when you dismiss the concerns of customers. It makes me regret not contacting a lawyer when I was cut. By the way, it's a nice scar.

I bought some things. I asked the cashier if I got everything and she said yes. I got home and an item was missing so I called the store and the girl told me to come and it will be at customer service. I told her this has happened before and I'm tired of wasting my time and gas. She suggested I speak to the manager so she put me on hold on my cell phone. After ten minutes on hold, I went to the store. I arrived and customer service was closed. The greeter told me to go to Register #11. Only two were open and had very long lines, and I'm still on hold on my cell phone for the manager.
I waited in this line for ten minutes. I got up there, explained the problem and the cashier stated as if I should know, "There is the manager." I told her to get him. I showed him that I was still on hold for 25 minutes and he said, "Well, I am the only manager." I told him that someone should have gotten on that phone. I explained how the cashiers need to be trained better on double checking bags and I'm tired of wasting time and gas for this. He really didn't care about my troubles so I left. I ended up going back the next day for a melon I didn't get, I paid for that as well. I am really tired of people that don't want to do the job.

I ordered a bunk bed with a futon mattress set that came with a twin too. And I ended up finding another one I liked better which was wood and the one I ordered was metal. I received each item all separately and I returned the bunk bed frame and futon mattress at the Walmart on Norman Dr. in Valdosta, GA and they gave me cash for the return. Well, today, 6/22/12, I received the twin mattress and I was on the opposite side of town. I went to the one on Interperimeter Rd., same city and they told me, which is understandable, they had to put it back on my card. And that's how I purchased these items.
But why would one store give me cash and the other state they can only put it back on my card? Me, personally, with the two being the same business need to have the same policies, don't you think? I wasn't asked if I wanted cash. She just gave it to me, and I assumed I was getting reimbursed with cash for the twin mattress too. I didn't get her name but she was very rude. When I asked to speak to a manager, she said, "I am one," and I asked for someone with higher authority. She was a complete smart ** over the intercom!
Also, the frame and futon mattress was free to deliver and the twin mattress was free to pick up at the store but they wanted me to go to Cordeal, Tifton, Albany, Cairo or Adel to pick it up so I just paid the 19 dollars and some change to have it delivered to my house because by the time I would drive to those cities, I would have used way more gas than just paying the 20 bucks. This was really when the lady started being rude, saying she wasn't able to give me back my shipping fee and I explained how it wouldn't let me choose Valdosta, GA to be sent to a local store. I mean, really?
If I had the choice, I would have picked my local Walmart. All in all, if you're going to be affiliated by the same company, all managers knew to have their employees being on the same page. Who is to say the rude lady could've been right but I was expecting cash the same way I received the other 2 returns I made previously the day before. And Walmart is supposed to be known for great customer service and tonight, Walmart on Interperimeter Rd, Valdosta, GA put a bad taste in my mouth and I will never shop there again. I felt as a loyal customer, I was mistreated and disrespected! I think all surrounding Walmart managers need to have a meeting over policies because, obviously, everyone isn't on the same page! As much money as I spend there, I'm sure another store would love to have me as their purchaser.

Deceptive Advertising, Argumentative & Untrained Employees - I visited Wal-Mart at 621 Uptown Village in Cedar Hill, TX 75104 (Dallas), which is managed by ** and with phone number 469-272-7344. At terminal 49005417, I paid by debit. The cashier was passing items over the "scanner' back and fourth again twice, causing 4 over-rings of merchandise. She paid no attention to the overcharges and had to be shown her error, and I required her to refund back the over-rings.
The advertised policy of honoring competitors' advertised price is misleading to consumers. We had today's copy of a Kroger ad showing the same merchandise carried by Wal-Mart, to wit: Kellogs Frosted Flakes (1), Town House Original Crackers (1), and Dreyer's Ice Creams (3). The discount said to buy any five and get $1.00 off each item (which saves $5.00 on total), which was not honored by Wal-Mart! I sent the items back, and they stayed on the register top long enough for the ice cream bars to melt (about 35 minutes).
The signs in produce said strawberries at $2.98. I checked with the produce manager, and it was per package. Also, green grapes were priced at $1.98. When I got to the cashier, the grapes rang up $3.31 for the package. I told cashier the sign said $1.98, but she argued. Thus, I went to the department and got the small sign and presented it to her. It stated $1.98! She argued, so I asked for the cashier supervisor or store manager. The manager was out, and the cashier supervisor at the register stated that the register would not ring up the $1.98 and thus cost was $3.31!
I complained after much of their "talk back" and their even "hostile" attitude. The sign said $1.98, and I insisted on paying that price or wanted discussion of this with the store manager ** or the assistant. The cashier supervisor, finally with a "disgusted" attitude, voided out the error and rang up the item at $1.98, the actual sign advertised price. I indicated that the signs in the department should be changed to inform other consumers, and she said she would immediately contact the produce manager about the problem. I checked out and took my merchandise with my wife to the parking lot. It's about 35 minutes to check out beginning at the actual register.
We loaded the groceries (which total $101.04) and drove out of the parking lot area. I stopped at a newly opened slot close to the front, left the A/C running for my wife, and went back inside to the produce department. I traced down the produce manager and pointed out the erroneous signs, which were still out and asked if he had heard from the cashier supervisor for correction. He did not hear from her! Two other error signs were posted at the $1.98 price!
I told him of the problem, and he said only the store manager had authority to change the signs. I asked if I could take the signs to the cashier supervisor for correction, and he agreed. I gave the signs to the same cashier supervisor and informed her the produce manager had never been contacted by her, and she became belligerent! I left the store and planned to return to Kroger to obtain my other desired items per their advertisement.
I am very dissatisfied! If this ever happens again, I plan to leave the store and let them replace all of the merchandise, or perhaps I will keep the receipts, get a witness, and later file an individual tort civil liability lawsuit at the local Justice of the Peace Court. The cost of about $65.00 can easily be recovered along with my $27.00 per hour lost wages, travel expenses, and any consulting fees from my attorney, etc., if judgement is granted under the Texas/Federal Fraudulent and Deceptive Trade Practices Act(s) and other Texas Consumer Fraud Statutes. Consumers, beware. Check every entry made by the Wal-Mart cashiers and perhaps remember to write down the prices, etc.

I went online to order a bike for my friend and it all went well until my order got cancelled. Then, I called and asked why. They said they didn't have any in stock. So, I called another store to see if they had any in stock and they said they did, so I went ahead and placed another order online. I came to find out that my order was cancelled again.

I told him that I had called ahead of time to make sure there was and they said yes, there were four in stock. Then, I called another time to see if there were any in stock and they said yes, they just did not want to get it because it was too high up above.
Ridiculous. After all this, I called the first store and asked, "Do you have any of these bikes in stock?" The lady said yes, she was looking right at them.

I can't believe the customer service at Wal-Mart. On June 18th I phoned three different Wal-Mart’s to inquire if they had a particular Brother sewing machine in stock. I live in California and all three stores had non-English speaking personnel answering the phone. At all three Long Beach stores, they were totally incapable of understanding what I wanted. How can a company as big as Wal-Mart allow people who have very poor English skills to answer their phones? This is America and the last time I checked English was the native language, although it seems as if non-English is becoming the norm. Wal-Mart, you definitely lost a customer.

I was traveling to Baltimore and stopped at the Walmart on North Point Blvd. I had to use the lady's room and when I went in, it was a mess. The door on one of the stalls was falling off it wouldn't even shut. The next stall had a mess on the floor. The next stall had a brown mess on the top of the toilet paper holder (it was finger polish). Now if you do have people that come in to clean, they would have had to see this then get it off! The area is not a great one, so extra vigilance should be taken and that all boils down to management.
When I came out of the bathroom, I did mention the mess to one gentleman and he did say maintenance was in charge of them. Well, they are not doing a very good job. Someone needs to contact that Walmart and get them to clean up. I will be going back to see if my time was not wasted sending this email. If someone needs to call me, this is also welcomed.

My son just turned 16 years old, and applied at Wal-Mart. He was so happy when they called him for an interview. He came home and told us he had the job. Next, he went in for the so-called orientation where they sent him for a drug test. He did it and passed. Then they had him fill out information for a background check so he did, and then he waited and waited and waited for them to call him to start work. He then got a copy of the background report in the mail with a clear background, nothing on it and called Wal-Mart to find out when he can start working. They told him to call the background place and give them permission to let Wal-Mart have the information, so he did, several times back and forth phone calls.
He received another background check. Finally, the background check company told him he didn't get the job and they sent him a turn down letter. He went to Wal-Mart and they said that is their policy. It turned out that when he filled out the paper work for the background check, they told him (while he believed he was an employee, an implied verbal contract by Wal-Mart) to put everything he ever did on the paper; if he got in trouble for anything, put it on the paper. He did get in trouble as a minor (he still is a minor) and the records are sealed, of only minor fractions of the laws, that of a misdemeanor. But he listed everything anytime he had a situation when the police were involved. They told him to put everything down because if they found something that he didn't put down, he would lose his job. And then when he was found clean with nothing on his record, they fired him or reversed the hiring because of what he had put down on the form.
I am so angry that this is Wal-Mart's policy, and I intend to make people aware of this policy, also to suggest people don't shop there anymore. Being a student in the College of Legal Studies at Kaplan University, I feel his civil rights have been violated as well as him being a minor and assumed Spanish but because of his background was discriminated against. This was his very first job, so it really sucks he went to such an awful place for employment, but the one who misses out is Wal-Mart. My son is a genius with computers, and is gifted as named by the schools for some extremely high scores (100%) on state tests; probably one of the hardest workers, biggest team player, and the least likely to steal. I don't think that Wal-Mart could have had a better employee, but now I know why they are always short on staff, who are overworked and treat customers like they are a burden, and have to lock everything up so no one can buy it, instead of a staff that is friendly and can help customers with questions, much less releasing the merchandise into a good paying customer's hands.
I can't tell you how much money they have lost because of the lock down of merchandise. Anyways, I don't shop at Wal-Mart anymore and I feel Americans should boycott a store that violates the civil rights of the American people especially its youth. When you are 16 years old, you can't have much of a background. Are they kidding me?

We are not regular grocery shoppers at Walmart, but been there a few times when wanting to buy relatively big ticket household items like laptop, microwave, vacuum, etc. On the 16th of June, we went to the 275 Main Street, White Plains, NY store to buy a low-end netbook. Upon entering the electronic section of the store, we saw 5 laptop boxes on display in the "clearance" section. We were interested in one of the items on sale and asked an employee for the price. He went in and came out after about 10 minutes and said it was originally $278, but everything on clearance was $100. We told the employee we'll buy it, so he went in to get the item (only the empty boxes were on display). After about 15 minutes, he came out and then we went to the checkout. This was when all the frustration started.
First, they spent like 10 minutes just trying to scan the item. The customers behind us were getting frustrated and we could see them going to other lanes. The guy who was helping us couldn't get their system to work, so he got another person to take a look, possibly a supervisor. She put a key to do an override and the final price was displayed, so I swiped my credit card and signed. At this point, this lady (if you can even call this rude person that!) said, "I can't give it to you at that price. You have to pay full price." This person said it in such a rude manner as if it was only $2 more! No apologies, nothing. Then I asked to talk to a supervisor. While waiting, this person took this empty box that was on display out of the table and sneakily tried to put it where the registers are. I noticed this and went near the cash register and asked her to put that box back where it was and then she said, "No, I can't," and on top of that, said to someone else "Call security!"
We are decent people and it's absolutely insulting to be treated this way for a fault of their own! Then after about 5-10minutes, a 200lb woman supervisor came in and said, "I don't know why the employee said that price, but I can give this to you only at full price. Take it or leave it." No apologies, nothing. Then I asked if there was a store manager I could talk to. After another 10 minutes or so, Beverly, the co-store manager (who looked more like a black version of Big Bird in Sesame Street than a manager), showed up and said the same thing, "I don't know why the employee said that price, but I can give this to you only at full price. Take it or leave it." No apologies, nothing. I asked her to talk to the employee because this guy actually checked the system and informed us of this lower price, but it was getting nowhere. All in all, we spent close to an hour on nothing. I don't mean to profile people or discriminate, but after having worked with a number of quality people of color, I was absolutely appalled by the very low quality of the people who served us on this day (just for the record, I only saw a small black community in the electronics department).
Walmart really should fire these so-called managers who know absolutely nothing about customer service and give our war veterans a chance because they are looking for work and will actually do what they are supposed to do - make customers happy and in turn, make Walmart more money. The only reason I mentioned 200lbS and Big Bird is because these facts show that they don't take care of their own selves. So how can you expect such people to take care of the customers' needs? Never did any of these employees use the words “sorry” or “apologize”, so it's not surprising that they didn't even offer a partial discount for their own fault. I'll certainly try to avoid this store and Walmart in general as much as possible. If you just want to walk in, get something and get out then it's okay. But don't expect any customer service from these people!

During my shopping experience today, as I was checking out, I used my credit card. I was unsure how to operate the CC machine, so I asked the cashier to help me and she ignored me as I was standing there. I asked her again to assist me and she yelled at me and said, "I can’t see from here," and ignored me again. The customer behind me heard her and couldn't believe her attitude. The cashier came around and bumped me and started the transaction on the machine. She didn’t say, “Thank you. Have nice day!” She treated me badly. I shop in Walmarts a lot, but with my experience of the employee, I feel devastated and awful to know you have people like that cashier there. The customer that was there with me was angry, too, that I was done that way. I have been in the public for 45 years of my work and never had this happen to me. The cashier was too busy talking to her friend to assist me.

I was treated like a criminal and terminated - I'm not sure where to begin. I had started my employment with Walmart, excited to be working for a company with Walmart's values. The orientation was great. I was totally jazzed about being there. The very first day on the floor, and it was a whole other world. I'm a happy person, a little hyper at times, but an excellent customer service rep. so when I see how a customer was treated rudely, I was disturbed. The associate said, "Walmart doesn't pay me enough to deal with their **!" Wow, I was like, "the customer is the reason we have a job."
And since that incident, I have heard from every employee I've come in contact with that "Walmart doesn't care, so why should we?" or "forget orientation, that's just **." They don't honor their promises, but still, yet I come to work just as happy and friendly as I have always been. Despite all I've been warned about, my customers love me. They call to make sure I'm there before they even attempt to come in to the Photo Lab. So I'm thinking, "Great. I love my job," and I worked my ** off on returns, and I'd hop on the registers or customer service to lend a hand because that's how I believe and everyone likes working with me. Some even prefer to because I work hard and I like things to go smoothly.
Well, it only lasted just under three months. Last week, an associate came up to me to tell me that someone said I had alcohol on my breath. I started laughing and I said, "I don't drink." So later on, I was walking out for my break and my friend, Dawn, or at least I thought we were friends, was at the door. She's Asset Protection. Anyways, I walked up and told her, "FYI, I don't drink," and I laughed and told her what I had heard, and she said, "Well, a couple of people had asked me if you did." And I laughed again. "How funny," I said. Then as I proceeded out to my break, I turned back around and said, "If they want, they can bring it on, a test or whatever because I don't drink."
At that time, I didn't pay attention to how she was acting. It's clear now that she had been the one who said I was smelling like alcohol, because the next thing I knew I was brought in to the manager's office and told to never touch her again and to stay away from her. And I was saying, "I'm not gay. What? I didn't do anything but touch her shoulder," and then again, my manager said, "Just stay far away from her and be nice." I said, "Okay, I'm sorry I didn't mean any disrespect. I thought we were friends and I was just telling her about it but I'm truly sorry and I promise I won't say a word to her."
Then I asked, "Am I going to be fired over this?" and he said, "No you're not; go back to work." So I did and everything was fine. Then, I slipped and fell and could not get anyone to make an incident report. I had hurt my hip and bruised my hand and by the end of the night, I told one of my bosses, "Can we do this later? I'm not going to the doctor or anything. I'm tired. I had worked nine hours and had the next two days off." She said, "Okay." So I came back to work three days later and two hours into it, I was called to the office and told that I was fired for gross misconduct and that was it. Oh, and I'm not re-hireable. I cried.
He wouldn't look me in the face and just like that, I'm unemployed. He said in the paper that I had grabbed Dawn and blew in her face. That was a lie. She was my friend and I was telling her. I just didn't know she was the one who may have reported it, but still I had no ill feelings toward her. So, I was thinking they totally blew this way out of proportion and why. What did I do that was so wrong? Now I'm hearing that they are saying I'm on drugs. So not only am I not re-hireable, but they are slandering my name as well.
I just want to curl up in a ball and cry. I don't know what I can do but surely something can be done. Oh, yes and when they brought me in to terminate me, he said, "Do you remember what day it was that you talked to Dawn?" Wow, I was treated like a criminal without being asked. I was told this is what happened and I'm done, no job, not re-hireable , and I didn't even get the chance to defend myself at all. And they did not even know what date I supposedly acted with gross misconduct?!

I was in Wal-mart looking for swimsuits for my granddaughters. I found one, but could not find one for the other. I wanted to know if they had swimsuits in smaller sizes (18-month). There was no one in the area, so I went over to the dressing room and asked the lady who answers the phones. I told her what I needed and asked her if she could find someone to help me. She told me that there should be someone over there. I replied that I could not find anyone there. She again said, “Well they should be there.” I again replied that I could not find anyone. She said that the last time that she saw them, they were by the aisle. I again replied that I could not find anyone. (I was getting a bit frustrated by this point.) She finally said that she would call someone and picked up the phone. (She had a walkie on.) I went back to infants and waited 10 minutes, but no one came. Finally, a lady from deli came and I told her my plight and she apologized to me and went and got an assistant for me. She came back and waited with me until the manager came (about 2-3 minutes).
I told the manager what had happened and he also apologized to me and said that Wal-mart does not operate that way. He called for the person that was over that area, and she immediately came over. They both said that they had not heard anything come over the walkie that someone needed help and again apologized to me, and the lady over the area answered my question. They told me that they would take care of the problem immediately. I shop at Wal-mart frequently and am typically very pleased with my shopping experiences. Even though this was not a good experience - the assistant manager, the lady over the area, and the lady from the Deli were wonderful. It is good to know that the majority of the time my shopping experiences at Wal-mart are very good and will go out of their way to help me.

On June 5, 2012, Walmart.com had a special deal on a Sony Vaio laptop for $41.00 or $53.00, which included your selection of a printer, mouse, and flash drive at a quoted price for each. The laptop came in colors of pink, white, etc. There was no place for me to choose a color, but being such a great deal, I figured whatever color they sent would be fine. Funds were immediately deducted from my banking account. I then received a shipping order ** with an estimate delivery date of June 7-13.
First, I received the flash drive, and upon checking the tracking number showing the time frame to each delivery, on June 9, I emailed Walmart and questioned why there was no information on the laptop tracking. I heard nothing so I emailed them again on June 10th until June 11. The answer I got back on the 12th was something that says, "Thank you for contacting us on not receiving your order. We would review the order status." An 800 number was also included. Later on that day, I received another email stating that since I did not select a laptop, it was not being sent and there was a pricing error. I called Sony and spoke to their customer service department. I was told to contact Walmart. I called Walmart on the 800 number and spoke to Brandy who told me that the pricing error had been corrected on June 6. She said that she was sorry but there was nothing she could do.
If it was corrected on the 6th, why did they even bother to send out the other items - and to have no type of communication with me until the day before the last day the laptop would be sent? She stated that they had and were receiving calls from other customers who had also placed orders. I told her I understood her position but I felt that they should honor their commitment because the error was not mine. I also told her that I would be contacting our local television station, which I did on 6/14, where I was given the telephone number and address for Walmart's corporate offices.

I was alone that day, and I had an exceptionally large amount of groceries to purchase as we were expecting guests. I was putting items upon the conveyor belt, to be checked out, when the clerk (I could not see her name, as her name tag was pinned to her lower blouse, at the side) made a rude comment about there being too many bags in her way. I still had a few things to put upon the conveyor belt, (it is hard to reach into the basket on the wheelchair to retrieve the groceries).
I quickly finished putting up the groceries and wheeled up to the bag section. I tried to lift a bag into the cart, but it was quite heavy. I asked her if she would please help me. She ignored me, while she continued to check items through. I asked her again, a little louder. She continued to ignore me. Finally, after my third attempt to get some help, she grunted and rudely said, "Sure, if I have to." I really needed her help. I had a lot of heavy groceries, and she put the heaviest ones into the same bags. The one redeeming act that evening happened when I wheeled out to my van. I had a hard time getting my bags into my vehicle. A young man (who was taking care of grocery carts) saw me struggling and asked if he could help me. He came over and put all of my groceries into my van, then drove the cart back into the store.

I purchased 3 Sony 15.5" Vaio VPCEH36FX laptops and 3 accessories (a printer, carrying case and USB drive) for each laptop from Walmart.com on 6/6/12. The purchase of 3 accessories was required for the purchase of each laptop. After confirming my purchase on the website, I noticed my email confirmations omitted the purchase of the laptops completely off of my receipts, but I was still being charged for the accessories. I also noticed the prices of the accessories were suddenly doubled and quadrupled. I emailed the customer support department at Walmart and received no response. I then called the billing department and spoke to a supervisor named Stephanie.
She informed me that the price of the laptop was a misprint so it had been taken off of everybody's orders. I asked why weren't any customers informed of this and why were we still being charged double and quadruple prices for the "required" accessories, she had no answer. The very next day, the useless accessories were delivered to my residence. So instead of receiving 3 laptops, which I had originally confirmed in my purchase order, I received 3 printers, 3 carrying cases and 3 USB flash drives which were only bought as a requirement to be able to purchase the laptop. Now, Walmart sent me an email claiming it was my fault because I didn't choose a laptop, I only chose accessories. Huh? I have 3 emails where you guys admitted it was a "typographical error" on your site. Get your lies straight!

Myself and several friends purchased a Sony laptop through Walmart.com. The site was very clear as I scrolled down all the various laptops and I saw a pink Sony for $41.00 (approximately). I chose that laptop and then it said this special purchase comes with a bundle and to choose a printer, a carrying case and a USB flash drive, which added no additional cost to my purchase. I received a warning that the printer I chose that was included for free was sold out and I could now choose from one that added $12.00 or one for $24.00 to my purchase. I choose the one for $12.00 as I really only included the bundle as it was required to get the special deal (the Sony laptop).
All items arrived within days and yesterday, I received an email that I never choose which laptop I wanted and now they are not available. But I can return the other items in order to get my money back or I can keep them, as what I paid for is what I received. I paid $41.00 for a laptop and an additional $12.00 for a printer. I did not get my laptop, so how is this possible? They admitted the bundle was confusing and that for my inconvenience, I will receive a $20.00 Walmart gift card? No thanks, I want my laptop and will not be happy until that happens.
We feel that this was a deliberate act of false advertising because a lot of people are not going to take the time to return these items they received in order to get their money back. Anyone with information on how to assist in getting Walmart to honor this sale they made, please post. By the way, my receipt clearly states that I purchased a Sony laptop of my choice (the choice was in the color pink blue or white!).

After checking, 2 more bad packages were found by the manager and his meat department manager. The 3 packages (including mine) were kept inside the store freezer. As a result, I requested to file a formal complaint at Wal-Mart, so they take necessary action. The store manager offered to give me a $20 gift card and return my money back.

Yesterday (06/12/12), a representative from the "chicken company" called me and offered to compensate me with some free coupons to buy the same products, but I also refused as I don't trust this food company and the way they handle their food safety measures.

Shortly after arriving home, the juice was opened, at which time, I looked over my receipt for any discrepancies, thus noticing the price I was charged for the juice being $4.67.
There was no other signage in Wal-Mart stating that buying one item of Tropicana juice would cost me $4.67. I did not return the juice for the simple fact that it would cost me more in driving there and back to save $1.17.

Her response was that she just got back from lunch and didn't know what was happening. She said, "They give us limited staff. It is what it is."
Oh, the other customer left part of her purchase on the bagging carousel and the cashier left me waiting for almost 3 minutes while he attempted to catch up with her, going all the way into the parking lot.

Once I got to the store, I spoke to a manager (who I was told had played pro basketball in Europe) and relayed my concern. Bethel told me I was wrong for doing this and was very rude. He also stated that the manager in question had every right not to be happy with me, as I had mentioned to Bethel earlier that I spoke to the store manager and felt he was not happy with me. The greeter agreed the manager had every right to be mad at me because he has more important duties to attend to at this point.
The greeter told me I was wrong and became so mad his lips were shaking. I then left and said I would never buy anything from Walmart again. I felt so offended and so disrespected for reporting a legitimate concern and then speaking about it. I got home 20 minutes later and called the store and spoke to another manager, but I did not feel this situation would be handled fairly since it was all in the store. I also sent an e-mail to their corporate office. I was told by a friend I should send a complaint to an independent agency if I wanted faster resolution. I hope to hear from you regarding this situation.

I am a senior citizen who shops at Walmart 2 or 3 times a week. When I entered the store yesterday, there were no shopping carts out where I could reach them. I refuse to crawl back under the plastic to find a cart. There was a man standing back a ways (a greeter maybe). I told him I needed a cart. He came and pulled one out for me. As he pushed the cart to me, he said, "What are you going to do this winter when the carts are full of snow?" I told him I would shop at another store if this happens. Please bring the greeters back to the front door at the Terre Haute South Walmart store!

I placed an order online for a computer chair and had it shipped to the store. I received an email from Walmart stating that my item was ready to be picked up and I must pick it up by a certain date. A few hours later, I arrived at the store and I was told that my item is on a truck somewhere and they can’t get to it. They proceeded to inform me that they are not sure when they will have a chance to do it? So basically I wasted an hour of my time plus gas to travel to the store to pick up my item which they told me was ready and it wasn’t.
I proceed to speak to a manager and his attitude was oh well like it didn’t even concern him. So, I emailed customer service to explain to them what happened and received a response that there are things out of their control. Wrong, this is under their control; they are the ones that told me that my order was ready and to pick it up by a certain date. Poor, poor customer service in store and online.

This is what happened. On June 5th, 2012, one of my friends called me to tell me that Walmart was selling a computer with bundled items for $41. I did not think this was strange, since Walmart has a reputation for doing crazy online sales like that all the time. So, I ordered the computer. I also had to order a printer, carrying case and flash drive that was included with the computer for $41. The product description said you could have your choice of computer colors; however, when I tried to order it, it would not let me choose the color I wanted. I was okay with that. For $41 I didn't care what color it was.
I decided to call Walmart.com the next day to see if I could choose a pink computer and it was then that I was informed that the $41 price was a mistake, and I wasn't going to get the computer. The price of $41 was only for the bundled items: the case, the printer and the flash drive - all things I do not want or need but only purchased them because it was part of the deal. I told Walmart that I did not want the rest of the ** and to stop the order but lo and behold, today I get the case.
I called Walmart again. I told them I did not think it was fair that I have to spend my time or gas to return these items, and they told me they would send me a label. I told them it was unacceptable that I have to spend my time and gas money to drive these packages that I bought under false pretenses, and they finally agreed to have UPS pick them up at my house. That's the least they could do for the bait and switch they pulled on me. This also happened to my boyfriend, who ordered 2 computers for his children who are now extremely sad and disappointed. Shame on you, Walmart. I will never order anything online with them again for fear that this may happen again. I still feel this was unfair.

I learned this morning that as of July 15, 2012, the Walmart store, at least in Ottawa, KS, will no longer honor other store brand products on sale with Great Value brand products. The Walmart advertisement says to tell the checker about the sale prices. You do not even need the ad itself. That is not true either! There have been many times when going to shop, a clerk will be loading the sale item in a shopping cart only to leave the shelf empty for the customer. That is not honoring the advertisement of your store. Once a week, we are close to competing stores and we will shop there instead of shopping at the Ottawa Walmart. Your store has not helped our town one bit and has hurt many other businesses.

Well, I wanted the mollies but you can't find a price so what am I to do? She said, "Thank you, have a nice night," and walked away. I do not see the reasoning behind having fish tanks if they are not going to be taken care of. Why not sell them like Crossett, AR did and be done with it. By the way, this store is in Bastrop, LA. I drive 35 miles to trade with Bastrop because of the fish, and to be treated so nonchalantly and to see the shape of the tanks was a disgrace. What do you do with your tanks?

Then when it got to be my turn, there was still a watermelon sitting on the side of the cashier that looked like she had not rung up the watermelon for the lady before me. I simply said to her, "Oh, that watermelon is not mine" just in case she thought it was with my stuff and she totally snapped at me. She said something to the effect of "Would you just let me do my job?" or something like that.
I apologized and said I was just trying to help. She was very rude. I am sure she was having a bad day, but I am also having a bad day and I don't choose to snap at people I don't even know because I am having a bad day. I don't want her to lose her job over this, but I do think that she should understand that she shouldn't talk to people that way, especially when she is in a customer service role.

Attention everyone, both present and post employees of Walmart. We have rights. If you feel you are being discriminated against for a disability, age, sex or any number of reasons, please contact the equal employment opportunity counsel or EEOC. You can file your complaint with them. They are a federal agency that routinely sues Walmart for such violations. Do not hesitate to contact them or a lawyer. Walmart is one of the worst companies that I have ever worked for in regard to how they treat their employees and customers. We, as people, do not have to take this kind of treatment. We have options and it costs us nothing to find the information and file these complaints with the correct state and federal agencies.
I fractured my ankle due to store negligence on 2/5/2012. It was not reported to OSHA as required by federal law. My job was threatened, so I filed a worker's compensation claim as allowed by law. I was removed from active duty for a month and secured a leave request from the store 2024. My doctor misdiagnosed my fracture and cleared me to return to work with restrictions. After about two weeks of being back on the leg, the pain became unbearable and I began to call off until I could secure a note from my doctor removing me from active work status again.
In the meantime, I purchased a 47-inch TV and returned it because it wasn't the one I thought it was and replaced it with a 42-inch 3D TV. When I requested another leave request, I was fired over the telephone and told that I had tried to steal the 47-inch TV that I had returned. Now they are trying to get out of paying my worker's comp benefits and I have retained a lawyer. Further, I spent 20 minutes tracking down the receipt for the 47-inch TV I had originally bought and the store now refuses to provide it to me until I come in and make a statement to loss prevention, also illegal. So tomorrow, I'll contact my attorney to have them served with a subpoena for those records as they have no legal right to withhold my receipts. So people, do not let them get away with the way they treat us. Make the effort to put Walmart in its place. Without the employees and the customers, they are nothing.

This store has only 6 carts available, and at least 100 adults that need to use them at least 20 times per day. This is the only large retail store in our area and county and so it is used by many. It is also the only store that has at least 3 broken carts at all times. It is the only Walmart store in a 50-mile area to have this problem.
When speaking to management, they only say that the carts will be fixed, but that never happens - or that they are expensive. Does the cost come out of the employees' pockets? That is how they make it sound. I have had to wait at least 45 minutes for a cart, and sometimes, I have to travel across the river (another 15 miles) to another Walmart to shop, which is very inconvenient and costly. The management is very rude whenever you speak to them regarding this issue. Can you help and get some more electric carts, or at the very least, get ones that are not "broken" all the time?

I am the Materials Director for a local hospital. I average three visits a week to the North Hanover Wal-Mart store to purchase various items for the hospital. I would estimate yearly purchases average about $25,000. In my visits, I hit nearly all the various departments each year. For the most part, I feel the store is well run and the staff do a good job; however, I feel the Deli Department is the exception. Sometime back, the store initiated a numbering system to help speed up service. Since then, it has only gone the other way. The numbering system is not the problem. The problem is the department usually has about five staff working; however, many times only one (20%) is servicing customers. The rest are busy making chicken, stocking shelves, etc.
All it takes is one customer to want three or four meats, cheese, etc., sliced and the rest of the customers can expect a 10-minute or more wait. The department staff are very busy, but there should never be less than two available at all times to wait on customers. There needs to be a system in place that one or two of the other staff automatically shift their attention to the customer over restocking shelves, making chicken, etc. If the sales are such that is not doable, then they should have more staff strictly there to wait on customers.

They are unhappy employees and upset as I could tell the "chain of command" in the store is confusing and frustrating them. I worked for Walmart years ago in Phoenix and we did not have that problem. The dept. store manager needs to assign employees to managers and jobs so they have tasks assigned by one person. This problem causes employees to stand around complaining and you are losing productivity as empty spots on shelves attest to.
We are disheartened that such a nice store (although too small) is such an unhappy one. What incentives are these for employees to improve productivity and attitude? That same day, I saw an employee put strawberries on an end shelf (not in the produce)! Why? He didn't like the fact that customers are always handing him things they find in the wrong department and expect him to put the item back! He and others are very unhappy and this proves it. This is not the only time we have experienced this. There are other problems, but who has the time to send a letter longer than this? I hope someone pays attention to this matter as we now prefer to shop at the Target store across the street where the employees smile and are polite. I have never heard them complain. I also enjoy receiving a 5% discount on my purchases from Target. Sorry Walmart, time to work on the management to create a better store!

I was up at your store early this evening. I got 8 bags of charcoal. Two in the bag came at $46.00, which they overcharged me by $22.00. I went back up there with my receipt. I did not like the attitude when I tried to explain. There were three of them. When they saw I was right, I do not know if she was the manager or what, I did not like her when she told the cashier to "give this man his money". I really did not like that, it should be "give this gentleman his refund". I am still upset. That was about 3 o' clock in customer service. I'm 69 years old and I did not like that "give this man his money".

There are never any riding carts for the handicap. They are out in the parking lot or haven't been charged. There appear to only be about 5 for the whole store. The last time I went, there were two of us, customers, waiting for carts for 45 minutes. I finally left & went to Meijer & they will get my business from now on.

This is the complaint/comment against the Wal-Mart on Forest Drive outside of Fort Jackson, SC. I visited the store on Saturday, May 19, 2012. There were buggies in the parking lot full of trash. There was trash outside of the entrance door, trash in some of the buggies in the holding rack inside of the store. The floors looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks. Each end of the potato chip aisle smelled like fish. Upon exiting the store, I swallowed something that was flying around all of the trash that was laying around. It was disgusting. I had a cough for about an hour or so afterwards. I had a very disappointing shopping experience and I could not do the shopping that I needed to do. By this Wal-Mart being right outside a military installation, I expected the standards to be a little higher and the cleanliness of the store to be a little better. I recommend better management and a better staff.

I won a 32" flatscreen TV in a raffle from a professional business organization I belong to. I wanted to exchange it for a 52" flatscreen with DVD player but was told that without a receipt, they could not take it back even for an exchange for a bigger, more expensive model. So I said, "Ok, I will go get the receipt from the committee member, who purchased it for the raffle." Then I was told that if the receipt was over 15 days old, they still would not exchange it.
As it turned out, someone suggested I move one of my TVs from one room and use this 32" in its place. Well, that worked out just fine and saved me over $500.00 I would have had to spend with the exchange. I am sending out a bulk e-mail to all the members in our association telling them about Wal-Mart's policy and how I was treated and that next time we wanted to buy something to raffle off, we may want to look into other merchants.
This store in La Marque is the worst Wal-Mart I have ever dealt with. I could understand if someone wanted their money back and did not have a receipt. But to turn down sales for almost twice as much as the original TV being returned and then to tell me that even if I had a receipt that they still would not honor it if it was over 15 days old makes no sense. That tells me I don't ever want to buy any electrical equipment from Wal-Mart, especially for holidays and birthdays.

Falsely Accused of Theft, Walmart Overlooked Complaint - On 2/17/12, at around 7:45 pm, I entered Wal-Mart at the 5501 Hwy 6 location in Missouri City, TX (store # 2505). I walked in (no greeter present) and went to the electronics department to see if the store had the PS3 red controller in stock. Once I saw that it was in stock, I walked back to my car, grabbed my wallet, and my DVD player that my aunt previously purchased and had given to me as a gift. When I entered the second time, I purposely looked for the greeter so my DVD player could be tagged as a return as they have always done in the past and I still didn't see one. So, I proceeded to customer service. I explained to the cashier that I wanted to return this item and I did not have the receipt because it was a gift. The CSM came over and said he needed to check the serial number and told him go ahead and check it. He told me it would be a minute. I waited bout 10 minutes before he came back and said, "She is on her way." I said, "Who is she?" He said she’s the manager that is going to look up the serial number. After waiting about another 15 minutes, the manager never came over to the customer service stand, never grabbed the DVD box, or verified anything.
The CSM returned and told the cashier to go ahead and process the refund. After the transaction was completed and the cashier gave me my ID, I was stopped as I turned around to leave the customer service stand and detained by some form of Wal-Mart security. He approached me and said, "I know what you are doing. Come with me." I asked for what and he told me, "You know you took that DVD player off of our shelves and brought it up front for a refund.” I tried to say something and he rudely interrupted and continued to say, "I saw you on the tape. You did not come in the store with anything. We know you stole this DVD player from our store." He continued to state I stole the DVD player and to come with him. At that point, I explained that I came in to see if the PS3 red remote was in stock as I had previously been to two other Wal-Marts that did not have it. When I saw it was in stock, I returned to my car to get my wallet and the DVD player that I wanted to exchange and pay the difference for the remote. I told him and the managers that they need to go and check that tape again because I did not steal anything. I proceeded to call my aunt who had purchased that DVD player and given it to me to find her receipt or CC statement to verify that the DVD player was stolen, in spite of the fact that she lives over an hour away from that store.
They decided to review the tape and at that point I was detained by the assistant store manager for an extended period of time. During that time, I called a lawyer to let him know what was going on. After being harassed, falsely accused of theft, and detained like a criminal, the loss prevention guy and female manager came back and said, "He's good." The loss prevention guy told me that I have to see things from his point of view. I explained I understand you are in loss prevention, but I do not have to see things from your point of view. I am not on the clock and I am not in loss prevention for Wal-Mart. I explained to him that he should have had his facts in order before harassing and falsely accusing someone of stealing. He went on to say that he was told that I had stole the DVD player that I returned and that he looked at the tape and went off of what he was told. He did apologize, but that does not change the fact that I was embarrassed, detained, and worst of all, accused of stealing.
I do have questions and concerns that I would like to be addressed. Why was I detained if I was still in the store and hadn't exited the building? Why was I even given a refund if loss prevention and the CSM claimed the DVD player was stolen? Why was I singled out? Whoever was watching the tape should have seen everything and not what they wanted to see. The loss prevention guy should have done what he was supposed to do before detaining, harassing, and accusing an innocent man of something as serious as theft. I have been a loyal Wal-Mart customer since 1986. I am one of those people who will drive out of my way past Target, H-E-B, or any other stores just to shop at Wal-Mart. I do not feel the same about shopping at Wal-Mart after this has happened. I am not taking this lightly and I need to know what actions are going to be taken. I called the district manager and left a brief message with his secretary and they never returned my call. I submitted this complaint online at Wal-Mart's website and got no response.

I went to the jewelry department. There were two associates. One with the name tag of Juanita; she was piercing ears. There was another associate with no name tag. I was there at 19:36. The one with no tag was sitting there and talking. While I was waiting, two ladies walked off without any help. You’re losing money. I patiently waited until 19:58. I went and checked out with multiple people looking at the jewelry. It’s still 20:22. I went to the service desk and asked if there’s a manager on duty. The lady there also has no name tag. She asked why, I said they need more help in the jewelry department. She said there’s no manager on duty, so then she called the jewelry department. She looked back up and said Juanita can’t stop piercing ears to help me.
Then I said it takes two to pierce ears. She smiled and said I said she was piercing ears. So I left quietly, went to my car and called and asked for a manager. Then, I was connected to Mario who was an assistant manager. I told him and he asked who told me there was no manager on duty. I told him that at 20:46, the lady which is now behind the service desk at the cashier for service desk. Now, I’m in the parking lot making this phone call. He said that at 8:00 he then left the jewelry department, checked out and went back to the service desk. Wal-Mart has a camera. This incident happened between 19:36 to 20:46. Normal time is 7:30. Until waiting, I left and went to the service desk to my car. If someone from this store checked the camera at the jewelry department on 05/19/2012 from 19:36 until 20:22, you can clearly see what I’m talking about.
I’m waiting to the left side of the jewelry department and a man walked up, looked, waited approximately 15 minutes, and then left. A white lady standing there with blue shorts on was waiting longer than I did. She was still there even when I was leaving and waited on. I assumed piercing ears was clearly made more important with more number of employees. It takes two to pierce ears. This store is selling jewelry, maybe it’s more important. I just thought this is a sad situation. I was in your store more than forty-five minutes and not waited. This store is clearly losing money in this department.

My name is Ken. I am a 47-year old male and I had a stroke on Dec. 27th, 2009. Due to the stroke I now deal with chronic fatigue; my right side arm and leg are out of whack; I have back pain and migraines. I have to use the electric carts when I go to stores like Wal-Mart and others. I have been in a continuous battle for Wal-Mart to keep their carts safe and just charged up for us disabled folks to be able to use. There has been this one cart in particular that I have had the most aggravation with for the past six months. It began when I used a cart that slid some when I stood up to get an item on a higher shelf. The carts are supposed to lock in place for safety when you are not pressing the handles to make it move. I told the manager on duty and she promised me she would look into it.
To cut to the chase, this dance went on for four more months and then this incident happened to me. I went shopping at Wal-Mart at about 1am one night and got a few items and went to my car. I sat on the cart and placed the items in my trunk and then with the last bag I had to stand up to place it. I put one foot on the ground between the cart and my car and one foot was still on the cart. Then it slowly began to move and before I could become aware of my situation (for info sake, I have comprehension and memory issues so I am slow to get things sometimes), I became wedged under my bumper and the cart in such a way that I could not maneuver my arms or legs to use the handles or push myself up. So I stayed wedged for about 15 minutes until a nice young couple came out and helped me up.
I went inside and spoke to the manger on duty, Shirley, and was promised she would have it fixed. Now also know that she never asked how I was and never asked me to fill out a report. This same dance went on for another month with this same cart and it was never made safe and it was always put back out. I told the mangers on duty three more times and the last time I threatened to sue Wal-Mart and surprise, I got their attention. This time they had me fill out an incident report and the next day, I spoke with **, the stores head whatever. He was kind and supportive and even told me about his daughter being severely disabled and how he would be upset if she was not safe. He promised me that he would see to the matter personally and make sure that the cart was made safe or thrown out.
Finally, I felt that something would be done to protect us from unsafe carts and I felt sure that this would be resolved soon. I took some time off from Wal-Mart because it just wore me out mentally and physically. So a month later, I went shopping at Wal-Mart and to my horror what did I see when I walked in the doors? The same cart sitting there but I still thought it had to be fixed so I tried it and to my shock and dismay, it was not. It was just as dangerous as it was before as if nothing was done at all. I was mad and hurt and disgusted at Wal-Mart and especially with ** for lying to me and not caring about the disabled and after playing the disabled sympathy card about his daughter. I went home and fumed and then called him the next morning. I told him what I thought of him and that I thought that he personally did not care about the disabled at all.
He explained that he called the guy that fixes the carts so he did what he said he would do. I told him again what he said to me about making sure it was fixed and again he said he did what he said he would do. I told him that he was a liar because he said that he promised he would make sure it is fixed or thrown out and that he cared about the disabled because of his daughter and again I called him a liar and he just continued to explain that he did what he said he would do. So you decide for yourself if he cares about you or someone you know that is disabled in some way. What I want from this happening to me is for Wal-Mart to care about us and make it safe for us to come to Wal-Mart if we choose.
Personally, I choose not to anymore. I do not believe liars. Thank you for your attention to my situation and I hope that you will make yourself known to ** at Wal-Mart at 5448 Whittlesey Blvd #B Columbus, GA; phone # (706) 322-8801. Please let him know what you think of his concern for the disabled. No one should have to wait that long for help.

I have been doing the price match guarantee at Walmart for a very long time and had my first run-in this past weekend in Winston-Salem, NC.

A local grocery store had 12 packs Coke on sale, buy 2 get 3 free. I have used the price match several times before for different items and the cashiers have never had a problem with it. The cashier didn't believe us and went to look up the price of them online. I have never had anyone do this before. I contacted the manager and she advised me that they don't match prices for this particular store. What? Where does it say that? Then she said that they would raise their price and charge me what the other store is charging for this product. How can they do this legally?
Basically, their own employees do not even know the guidelines for this. So how the heck do they expect their customers to know what they are? I refuse to shop at Walmart until this gets changed. Walmart needs to stop this price match guarantee completely or revamp their whole procedure on this.

Victimized in the store - My 16 year old daughter and I were shopping at the Bossier City, Louisiana Walmart, located on Airline Drive, on Sunday May 6th at about 4 pm (To avoid confusion, I will refer to the taller, older appearing male boy A and the shorter, younger appearing male boy B). We were looking at the jewelry when two black males, ages I’m guessing late teens to early 20’s, whom I now believe were trying to sneak my phone and purse. But I noticed them getting a little too close, so I looked at them and said “I’m sorry are we in the way?”, and moved aside just a bit. At this point, boy B says “no I mean we are looking at the jewelry but yall are okay“, then boy B asked how we are related. I am thinking he may know my daughter from school so I replied “I’m her mom, do you go to Northwood or something?” He replied “no but I used to.” He then asked my daughter her name and if she had a man. Both boys started laughing.
My daughter and I simply walked away, talking about how rude and stupid they were and wondering why they were laughing, as we walked to the cosmetic area. About 2 minutes later, boy B approached us again by himself telling me boy A, whom he referred to as his cousin, wanted to “holla” at me and was pointing behind him towards my right but I never saw boy A. I basically told him I was not interested. Understand that my daughter was standing to my left, beside the front of my buggy, where my purse was with my phone lying on top of my purse. I am directly in front of my buggy holding the handle. Boy B was on my right side, he then told me boy A was just shy and said “look at him he’s trying to hide.” He pointed and even looked in the direction of the aisle that was on the left of where I was standing (we were standing in front of an outward facing shelf between two aisles) and completely opposite where he initially said he was.
Instinctively, I looked and when I did, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed boy B quickly moved his hand near my purse and took off to my right and made a left turn which was towards the exit. Then, I noticed purple in his hand, my iPhone 4 has a purple otter box on it. This was when I realized what had happened. I had a bottle of lotion in my hand this entire time. He was about to make it to the exit and although I am loudly screaming “he took my phone!” and running after him, everyone, including the employees at the door, just stood there and watched. So, I threw the bottle at him hoping to slow him down or get some help or something, but I missed and I screamed again "he took my phone". I was yelling as loudly as I can for someone to stop him. The employees, some being male, as well as everyone else in the area, just stood there watching all of this and never tried to keep him from leaving the store.
So I chased him out of the store, all across the parking lot and when I finally caught up to him, luckily, he handed my phone to me and said “I’m sorry, I thought you were someone else.” I was so mad I was screaming at him and really wanted to hit him so badly, but I knew better. He took off and vanished. I went back inside and 4 of the workers told me that this type of stuff happens all the time. And that earlier, the same day, the 2 guys had been lingering inside the front of the store, near the entrance. That boy B ran out of with my phone, with a light skinned female with a big afro and a tear drop tattoo under her left eye. They actually overheard them discussing who they thought would be an easy target and the 3 of them were just watching people as they came in.
My daughter and I came in on the grocery end but went straight to the other end where they must have seen and targeted us. Now, I believe that boy A was actually on the aisle to my left and the plan was for boy B to distract me while boy A stole my purse and phone. But since my daughter was standing where she was, he couldn’t. So boy B had me look away from him so he could steal my phone and possibly my purse. I think they tried 2 times before they were successful on the 3rd. I went to find the manager but he/she was not there. So I talked to the person in charge at that time, explained what happened and nothing!
I was told how sorry he was and that there was nothing they can do. He told me there was nobody available that could even review the surveillance video. I felt like I have been violated and victimized on so many levels. Where was security? Why did they just watch boy B run out of the store right past them, why did they not call the police? Does Walmart not offer a reasonably safe shopping environment? Granted, they have no control over people that do this type of stuff. But they have total control when before the fact, they overhear and suspect them of planning some kind of crime against a customer and ignoring it and when it actually happens. They didn’t bother to even try to stop him or even called the police because a crime had been committed in their store.
I, on my own free will and just very sudden reaction without thought but honestly expecting security to be present somewhere, go after him. But anything could have happened to me and it would have been nice to at least have the police on the way. I honestly thought that there was always a security guard in the parking lot, not that day. I did have the Bossier Police come to the store so I could make a report. Had I just left it, there would be no record of what happened. And as I have told this story, I am finding out that this is very common as is the way Walmart does nothing and they will not make a report or call the police. If you want the police, you have to call. It seems that Walmart does not want any of this in writing; they want it swept under the rug, kept secret.

I have been shopping at my local Walmart Savoy, Illinois for over 10 years. I rarely exchange or return items. Today, my husband and I went into the store to exchange our Kindle Fire. We had the box, all the packaging, the receipt and we had bought a protection plan on it. My husband went to exchange it while I shopped for some other things. He came and found me and said they called a manager and he said no. One day out of the return policy. It had been 16 days since we bought it. I was unaware that the policy in electronics is 15 days. Okay, I have the protection plan so that should cover it. I went back to the counter myself. I have been in retail for 20+ years and I thought trying to take care of the customer is the goal. I know in my company we do whatever it takes to keep our customers.
The clerk called a manager, Chris. I waited for over 20 minutes for him to arrive. She paged him at least 3 times. About 5 employees walked back and forth around the counter commenting on how they were sure Chris heard the page, that he is just not responding, rolling their eyes like this is common. I asked, is there no other manager working today? I know in my store we have at least 5 decision making managers working today. Walmart, as big as it is, and they have one manager working on a Sunday. Insane! Chris could not even act like a human, but acted like a robot just repeating the policy over and over. He needs a good lesson on customer service if he is going to survive retail.
What I don't understand is the reason I purchased the protection plan in the first place is so I could deal with my local store and not go through a manufacturer. What is the point of buying protection when it doesn't protect it and it isn't convenient for the customer? Now I will be without my Kindle for probably 2 weeks while I wait for a replacement. Someone needs to look into the customer service in that store and the scheduling. I like my Sundays off too, but this is retail.

Six people in line to check out and 3 cashiers at speed/self checkout left my cart sitting. Sure, they can get someone to put the groceries back or do they think that is self service? Next, they will start wanting you to change your own tires or change your own oil. I am sure they would if they could. As for me, Target or Food City gets my business. Self checkout is okay but don't force it on me. Look how many jobs are lost to this - makes Walmart profits higher.

Yesterday, May 4th, 2012, was my birthday. Since I am an avid sportsman, my daughter thought I would enjoy a day at the shooting range. She coordinated everything, the range time, targets, and purchased the ammunition from our local Vadnais Heights, MN Wal-Mart store. Due to her inexperience, she bought two (2) boxes of 45 Colt ammunition at $23.97 per box when she should have purchased 45 ACP.
Today, May 5th, with receipt in hand, I went to exchange the 45 Colt for 45 ACP. When I went to the return counter at the Vadnais Heights Wal-Mart where the ammunition was purchased the day prior, I was rudely met by a Wal-Mart Representative who seemed happy to point out" we absolutely, positively, do not accept ammunition returns". I explained my daughter made a simple mistake, I didn't want any money back. I merely wanted to exchange the wrong ammo for the correct one. I further mentioned 45 Colt ammo was absolutely useless to me. This was met with a "Nope! Can't help you".
Are you kidding me? Their Customer Service associate representing Wal-Mart caught me off guard & I was taken back. So I made my way to the sporting goods area to see if there was a sign or something which may have warned my daughter of some sort of a No return policy. I did not see any such warning. Extremely frustrated, I returned home. My wife & I promptly went through a year's worth of receipts. In our estimate, we spend just shy of $3,000 on everything from household goods, pharmaceuticals, pet food, auto maintenance supplies, school supplies, etc. This does not include the groceries we just started to buy at this location.
On my daughter's strapped budget, she spent $51.36 on a birthday present she thought I would enjoy. It seems Wal-Mart is happy with their Wal-Mart = 1, Daughter = 0 scenario. No resolution in sight.

I've been shopping at the local Walmart ever since I moved in town in 1991, kept spend 100's of dollars every year. My recent visit today was another disappointment. I'm writing this because I felt to do so since there were only deaf employees who don't care how and why you spend your hard earned money there. I spent more than $250. While at the register, I told the clerk, reading a sign that said spend $100 and if you open a Walmart credit card, you can get $20 back before, she started scanning my items. She didn't know how to process the application. She asked the guy at the register nearby and apparently he didn't know either. I stopped by at customer service and after waiting nearly 25 minutes, they said since I purchased gift card (obviously not free), they cannot reverse the transaction. The bottom line, I wasn't able to get $20 back like what they claimed in the written display.
A bunch of lazy people who works at same location stays busy chatting with each other on ears, God knows what they talk about. They keep kicking each customer who seeks help like soccer ball. I have experienced last week while picking up site to store order around in the back of the store. They stop many Hispanic and Oriental people and ask to show receipt and flip the cart upside down. Are we really in 21st century? Every visit to this Christiansburg location makes me scratch my head. Is any one reading this post taking any action?

Buyers beware! I ordered a swing set online for my daughter’s birthday. Walmart processed the order. A couple of days later, I received another email that stated that they may not be able to process my request because the supplier may not have enough of the product to ship. I would need to wait 10 days to see if they can fill the order, if not, they will just cancel my order.
Meanwhile, they refunded the money on my card. I didn’t know if I should wait or order something else from Toys R Us since they were having a sale on swing sets that were similar in price and style. I figured I could wait till the last day of the Toys R Us sale. I received an email in time from Walmart that the product was in ship status and they withdrew the money again. A couple of days later, I received a call from the shipping company for Walmart. They would only be able to deliver on Tuesday morning between 9-1. I told them that that day isn’t good for me since I work and my daughter goes to school. She told me that they can do it the following week, but the same circumstances. I told her Tuesday was no good but that was the only day they were in my area. My only options were to take my daughter out of school and not work to get this delivery, have my sister who lives out of state to sit and wait for the delivery, or to cancel my order.
I called corporate and they were no help. She told me it is really out of their hands but they could assist me and call the trucking company for me. She has no control over the shipping end of the product once it is ordered. In conclusion, Walmart just doesn’t care about their customers and eventually, it will hurt their business because I will not buy another thing from them.

I have gone to the Walmart on Rt. 541 in Burlington, NJ and have experienced the same problems. The time I went to the Walmart in Burlington, the machine was printing the money orders but was not giving back change after you put your money in for the money order. The customer service people were nice, however, this should not be happening. You put these machines in place of utilizing a human being and the machines are unreliable. This seems to happen a lot because I know other people who have had the same problem. Give someone a job and stop replacing people with machines.

Franklin, the store manager, said he was sorry but there was nothing they could do. I have been living in the Natomas area now for 6 months and the third cart that he is saying is broken was broken way back then.

I have a Walmart Discover credit card which is run by GE Money Bank. I called the credit card customer service and spoke to a representative who told me there was 6-month interest-free financing for purchases over two hundred and ninety nine dollars. I said, "Great; now I can afford to purchase this iPad2." I made the purchase through Walmart.com, received the item and was happy.
When I received my credit card statement, I had to pay the full price. I eventually spoke to a supervisor, Valerie, who told me that it doesn't make a difference with what the representative told me about the 6-month interest-free financing. He would be disciplined internally. I called Walmart.com, told them that I can't keep the purchase. They have a no-return policy on electronic purchase after 15 days. I spoke to Jaime, a supervisor, who gave me approval to send back the item. I received emails which I made copies of what to do. "The iPad2," he told me, "go to your nearest Walmart store and have them call walmart.com to approve information and ship item back to them." A receipt was given to me which I have as proof that it was given to them. I received a credit on my account and everything was fine.
On the January 31, 2012 statement, the amount of $536.61 was charged to my account. I did not know Walmart.com recharged my account. When I spoke to them, they told me someone went into my email account and purchased something. They told me to contact the Walmart Discover charge card account and i did and filed a fraudulent charge. I received a new credit card and they told me to cut up the old one. I received a credit. I did not make a purchase on Walmart.com until April 2012. When I received the new card, I never cleared the old card out of my account on walmart.com.
I purchased two pairs of jeans. The account was blocked. I've been calling Walmart.com for the past two weeks to explain to them that I never cleared out my old account #.

She had keys to open and hand me the phone but chose to page someone who never showed up, so I left the store very upset that I did not get the item that I drove in to get. This is not an example of a good manager at her level and she clearly relayed to me that there were more important matters for her to attend to than to reach over and hand a phone to me that she had the key to. I took it personal and she needs to be notified of this incident and retrained in how you acknowledge the customer and handle the situation better. She is a poor example of management at her level.

I went into the Super Walmart in Janesville, WI a few weeks ago on a weekday afternoon to the photo department to have some old 8 millimeter film transferred to DVD format. It’s a family footage dated on 1959 found among deceased brother’s belongings marked “Trip to Conn. and Shorts.” When I walked up to the counter, I said to the associate, “Hi, can I get this put on DVD?” She proceeded to stare at me like a deer in the headlights and remained speechless a little too long. So to break the silence, I said jokingly, “Maybe not, you’re looking at me like I’m from another planet.” Then she said, “We don’t do that.” And I responded, “I’m pretty sure you do. Is there a manager around who may know?” She grabbed a scrap of paper and asked for my name, so I said and spelled Michelle **.
Then she asked for my phone number. I felt my pockets and said, “Oh, I left my phone in the truck. Are you going to call me while I’m in the store shopping?” She then replied with attitude, “It’s gonna be at least an hour.” I was taken aback with her tone and unwillingness to ask a superior for help plus the run around with the supposed call back. So I said back with tone as I took the film and tin off the counter, “Well, I don’t have a lot of time to be screwing around,” and added I was going to go up front to ask a manager I turned around and walked out of photo department, angry.
Then at the end of the isle where it meets the main isle, I saw a manager and two sales associates talking. I held up the film and tin and asked, “Say, do any of you guys know how to put 8mm on DVD?” The manager took the film and tin from me and carried it up the next isle near electronics and found another associate stocking. Her name was ** and he handed her the film and tin. I followed him and there was the counter person already complaining/explaining about me to ** and everyone in front of me, very uncomfortably standing there. So ** walked me over to a drop box where she filled out the envelope with my info. I began to take the film out of the canister and she stopped me suggesting that it would be better to leave it in.
We also discussed how I was hesitant about sending more than one reel at a time for fear of loss or damage to irreplaceable 50-year-old family images of long ago passed away parents and brother. ** handled the material, put it in the envelope, sealed it, tore off the claim check receipt and handed it to me. She told me that pick up had just happened yesterday and it would be another week. I said that would be fine. She is the one gem of that department. I got a call a week or so later on 4/19/12 from the processing company out of Georgia. My caller ID read **. The person asked me if I knew if I had sent her an empty tin. I was stunned and knew for a fact there was film in there! A manager plus ** had handled it; you can feel the difference in weight of an empty tin and one with a reel of film.
I’m 99% sure that other associate tampered with it. She had my name and I made her look bad and went to a manager, plus I gave her attitude back. I am sick over the loss of this film, which had been carefully stored for so many years, and priceless and irreplaceable images that I’ll never get to see now. I went back into the store the following day and luckily ** was there again and I refreshed her memory not that there are a lot of customers bringing in 8 mm film. She was very forthright and remembered my concerns about more than one reel and leaving it in canister and the whole situation with the counter person.
When I told her I got a call that the tin was empty when it got to the processing company, she looked surprised knowing she had sealed it in the envelope. I told ** I was almost sure that other associate had tampered with it; she had my name from the slip of paper and access. I asked what the other associate’s name was and ** replied she couldn’t tell me, but she knew who the person/employee was. When I asked the name of the manager who had carried the film in tin and handed it to her, she thought it was **. She also assured me that Walmart would take care of it, investigate, and that there are cameras everywhere. I thought to myself, probably not inside that drop box, though? ** tried to find her manager, but she wasn’t in the back and I wanted to write out what had been said between myself and the counter person, which I have done here, before taking it to management. I got another call from the processing company telling me they were shipping the empty tin back to the store, which is where it should presently sit.

I have no problem shopping at Wal-Mart and dealing with the rest of humanity. We all come in many shapes and sizes and no one scares me. What I do have a problem with is the lack of adequate parking for Wal-Mart's business in all locations. I have tried to get a license for a business before and I know each city requires adequate parking for each business and the restaurants inside them. I have never seen a Wal-Mart that has supplied safe and adequate parking for their facilities. I live in a bedroom community and have to travel to shop. I like Wal-Mart’s prices at Simi Valley, Oxnard and Woodland Hills stores - all in California. Wal-Mart stores always have parking spaces that are too small in rows, too close together, and lack the volume of spaces to provide for the quantity of customers. I drive a Toyota Tercel.
There are never any empty spaces ever. I have never seen a worse parking situation, not even at the old karate studio I tried to license in an area that required one space per 10 square feet. I realize the zoning is different for a store, but the parking is horrendous, not to mention waiting in line to check out with a lack of customer help and plenty of empty check stands. I realize no one can do anything about the management and nobody is about to boycott the stores. I would suggest multi-floor parking garages and more stores or an inspection into the parking for each store as licenses require renewal. I'm sure there are some violations there. Then again, Wal-Mart seems to do the bare minimum to get away with everything, so maybe I'm mistaken. Thank you for reading. I'm just complaining.

This is the very first problem I've ever had with anything blazing in the microwave. My microwave is not faulty. I'm just wondering if something changed with the packaging. I'm just trying to prevent this from happening to someone else.

I placed an order as usual on the Wal-Mart website. It came back 5 minutes later, saying that the order had been canceled due to billing issues. I then ordered the item and paid for it via PayPal. It got canceled again. I tried several different ways, including a gift card from Wal-Mart that I had; and everything got canceled automatically.
I called customer service, and they forwarded the issue to billing with the request to contact me about this. I received no call. I then called again, and they told me the same. Still, no call. I have called four times now, and I still haven't heard back and my orders still get canceled when I submit them no matter how I pay. My grandmother even registered (We live at the same address.), and the system canceled her order as well. Please help!

I will never, ever purchase another item from Walmart or Walmart.com! My fiance purchased a lovely 1/2 carat princess cut diamond ring and proposed on Christmas morning. Three days later, one of the side diamonds fell out. A couple of weeks after, another side diamond fell out. After taking it into a local store for repair, I was told it couldn't be fixed. A couple days after that, yet another diamond fell out. I've had the ring roughly 4 full months and Walmart.com wants nothing to do with it! Now I have no choice but to return it, but Walmart doesn't seem to care that the ring had a special meaning to me and my soon to be husband! I feel defeated and just want to sit here and cry! They also keep pulling my comments from their website and Facebook page.

Garden shop needs some good strong men in it. I am so upset with the Yulee Walmart and this is not the first time. All the time, in the garden shop, they have only sweet old ladies back there and never any men to lift bags of heavy stuff to load in the car, or the customers just load it up. The one older lady says they have to or it's their job and they have no business doing any of that. We know how Walmart takes advantage of the employees and they don't care about them at all. But I do, and I am speaking up for them.
Somebody better do something over that area and keep some men back there to help them out. It is not right and I know you can afford to hire some guys to do all the "heavy lifting" asap. If one of those old folks get hurt, maybe they will sue the heck out of you all to get a piece of that pot you are filling up, thinking and making these people feel their jobs are in jeopardy if they don't do what you tell them. Have some respect and care for those who have been there. Look out for the older ones. This is flat out wrong. Something needs to be done. What do you think we think as customers seeing such stuff as this. It shows how you treat the old folks. It's just simple; get some men in there to help them. That's all. Is that asking too much?

I looked online for a certain product, and it showed it was in stock at the Cookeville, TN store. I proceeded to call the Cookeville store and inquired about the availability of this product when the associate told me they had 18 in stock and where it was located. I drove to the Cookeville store to pick up this item. When I got there, they told me they could not find the product and that there was a system error and they did not have any.
I then asked if they could have one transferred from another store, as it was their fault that their system showed they had 18 and they really didn't. The store manager rudely replied, "We cannot have one transferred from another store, and there is nothing we can do about it." I have never in my life seen nor endured such horrible customer service! I am thoroughly disappointed!

I talked my wife into buying the Mistic eCigs from Wal-Mart instead of buying it from another store because I felt Wal-Mart would always be reliable for having them in stock. But now we can never get filters in the 1.8 traditional. We paid $30 for the starter kit and would like to be able to go to Wal-Mart and find the filters in stock. We don't feel like we were done right by Wal-Mart!

Clearance fish scale remover - there were two on the rack, beside all fishing gear Items that were on clearance too. I'm sure it was not misplaced. I went to pay, it scanned at regular price. I ask the clerk that it had scanned at regular price. She called **, Customer Service Manager. I walked him to where the clearance was. He said that it was not on clearance, because of inventory, everything was not in its place. I said, "May you honor the price since it's there?" He said, "No! It's in the wrong place." I asked him what he was there. He said customer service manager. I told him no good service. Customers are first, and he could have honored the price. Walmart will only lose a customer. Store is at 1455, 8401 Anderson Blvd Fort Worth, TX 76120.
