We were in line at the pharmacy department, while a lady was piling her groceries on the side at the counter. We were next in line while the cashier told her she's next. We had finished our shopping while she had gotten out of line to continue her shopping and decided she was ready to check out. The cashier told me I didn’t know what I was talking about, while she jumps in line in front of us while the cashier and customer are arguing with us. I asked to call for security after being threatened with authority. I asked to please call security and management!
Plain clothed security came in on their own time and asked me if I was being served now and what was my problem? We then went to customer service where they again called for management. He apologized for the problem and would correct the problem. I want to follow through and make sure this is put to a stop. This was after many problems with this store and I will not stand for this rude service anymore. You let me know if I should shop somewhere else. Fix this please. Contact me if this is your policy at your store, so I can make other arrangements.

I have been shopping at the Portage Wal-Mart for 10 years now, and it was always the store to go to for just about everything. in the last year, there has been a steady decline of service, cleanliness, and products on the shelves. Now, it is to the point that I have stopped shopping there, because the store is always out of things I go there for. The store is absolutely nasty with shopping carts all over the parking lot and none in the store. Also, trash is blowing around everywhere.
I'm not sure what has happened to the store, but I can tell you as a resident of Portage, my self and a lot of others are counting the days until the new Meiers opens across the street, because we are sick of the crappy way Wal-Mart is being run. You have went from the top store in Portage, IN to the store you go to only if you have to. This is the 1st complaint letter I have ever written in my life. I hate to say it, and pardon my French, but that store has turn into a giant crap hole. So please, if you don't want to lose the people of Portage to other stores, please do something and fast.

This is the second time I have a complaint about the lack of plus size clothing at this Walmart. What few they do have is so ugly, I would never wear it. It is really sad when a 2x is size 16-18. Come on, get real. Guess I will have to spend more money and do my shopping in a Fashion Bug. If I don't shop Walmart for clothes, why should I shop for anything else?

Why do the rules change every time I enter the store? I went to the bread counter to get my bread sliced and was told that you do not do this. I asked to see the manager and she was called and then she said no. I was told the name of the manager was Deb. Lafayette Rd Walmart seems to change the rules all the time to fit that day. So I would like to know the days of the week that bread can be sliced in the store. Looking at the receipt, the manager's name says Aaron **. So, was I lied to or what?

Assaulted At Walmart: I was at Walmart in Baldwin Park, CA on 4/9/12 at 8:30PM. I was waiting in line to pay for my items and realized there was another line that was shorter. I then went to the other line and a Hispanic lady tried cutting in front of a man in front of me. When that man would not let her, she told me she had been waiting in the other line for over 30 minutes and she was going in front of me and she didn't care. When I told her no, that she could ask the person behind me, she just started pushing my items off the conveyor belt. I looked at her oddly because no one does that. Once she saw my face expression, she started cursing at me and stated that I didn't know who she was and she could kill me. She started screaming racial slurs and then started throwing items at my face.
A man behind me tried stopping her and the lady's daughter was screaming for her to stop. After I got hit, I yelled out for someone to call 911. The cashier just continued to scan the lady's items and no one would help. There were multiple employees at Walmart, but no one would assist me and my 5-year old daughter. I was worried for my child and I called 911 myself and filed a report with officer Guerrero badge #**. I asked him to try and get footage of the situation. The customer service supervisor at that time was Albert and I told him that I got assaulted by the lady and asked him to get her information and car so I could press charges. He told me there was a police officer outside, but he did not get any assistance and the female left after assaulting me.
I am very upset that Walmart's staff did not follow any policy on assisting a customer while getting assaulted under their supervision. They did not do anything to stop the situation and I feel that they did not even care. This lady could have really hurt my daughter and I. Please give me some input on what I can do on filing a complaint on these Walmart employees.

Since you brought the fabric back into the store and marked the prices up, I cannot shop here for fabric. I'm sure you have noticed the fabric is not moving. Mark it down $2.00 a yard like it was before and your customers will increase. Right now, I cannot afford to buy fabric at Walmart. There used to be some fabric that was $2.47 like flannel, and some that was $3.07. Now, there is crappy fabric for $1.50 and the next price is $5.97 or there about. It never goes on sale and I can wait for a sale at JoAnn’s or Hancock and get it cheaper than Walmart. Wouldn't you rather sell some fabric and make some money than sell none?
Another thing is, I come to Walmart after 4pm and no one is even in the fabric area. So I have to go to electronics, and tell someone I need some fabric cut. By the time they get there, I have wasted 20 minutes, just waiting on someone to come and cut the fabric. I am really dissatisfied with the way the whole fabric scene is going now.

I put my lenses in Equate solution overnight. In the morning, I put the lenses in my eyes and felt a slight burning sensation that I thought would subside, but it only got worse as minutes passed. Even after removing the lenses, rinsing my eyes, and applying a cold compress to my eyelids, I was in pain for 4-5 hours. A year prior, I had a similar incident that sent me to the ER while at work. I was told I had bi-lateral abrasions to my corneas. At that time, I assumed that my lenses were dirty, but in retrospect I realize I had used Equate solution on my lenses. After going to the ER, I didn't wear contacts again for almost a year before trying again. My ophthalmologist gave me new contacts and a small bottle of solution, which I used until it was gone. It was not until I bought a bottle of Equate that I had the sensation that I had put Tabasco sauce into my eyes. They should take this solution off of the shelves: it is horrible!

My mother ordered a cake to be picked up Easter weekend for my son. He won an award where we live in, West Virginia, and we ordered a cake to be picked up to celebrate with family at our Easter dinner at my parents. I was very unhappy about the cake not being done. The woman who waited on us said, "I make the cakes and I did not do one for a Tyler." She never even apologized. All she said was, “There are only 2 cakes in the cooler and there is not one that you described.” She never even offered a solution to the problem.
I understand this person was unhappy about having to work on Easter, however this does not constitute being rude to a paying customer. My mother was very upset because we had a celebration planned. She phoned in the order on Wednesday. The cake was to be blue and gold with ‘Congratulations, Tyler!’ with a golden horseshoe on the cake. This took place at the WalMart in Norwalk, Ohio on Milan Avenue/Westwind Drive on Easter, April 8, 2012 at approximately 1pm.

I was in the Kearney, Nebraska store in the morning of April 6th. I spent over an hour in the store and then waited 30 in line. After the lady had rang all my stuff up, I put my food stamp card in and put the password in, which was right; she told me it won't go, try it again. There were 3 people in line and I hated using that card anyway, so I tried it again. Then she said it locked you out and not even the head person couldn't do it. Or she was not trying and just stood there and looked at me. I was so mad I had over $200 of stuff and was going to pay the rest in cash. I was so embarrassed and mad I told her to put everything back and I am buying my stuff somewhere else and won't be back.
I would have paid it with cash, but I was so mad with the way I was treated and felt talked down. I do not deserve it nor will I ever go in there again or any Walmart again. I went home and used my card: it went right through and they said there was nothing wrong with my card. You need to train your people better not be so rude, to do everything to help the customer and to make it right. I called the manager and he said he would look into it but didn't offer to call me back or anything. Hey, no problem, I am telling everyone about my trip and what happened. I guess my business doesn't mean anything to you. Thanks for nothing.

Buggy is old: they need new ones. Now, there is no one up front to help you get them when they are locked together. Most of them do not push well and need to be replaced! Workers seem to not be treated with the respect they are due for their work, for they are always unhappy and will not help you. I have heard most of them say they are just trying to get through the day and do not like working at this store! They never have what you need and looking for and lots of people besides me complain about that. The produce is awful looking and there is not a good selection. When I can afford to, I go to the Wal-Mart in Jonesboro, AR because they have the best selection of everything I need and the produce looks good and there have lots of it!
There is never anyone to help you at this Wal-Mart! Mr. Sam Walton is probably trying to dig out of his grave because of the way Wal-Mart is run now! Mr. Walton was a wonderful man. He treated his employees with respect and was a great people person; the Wal-Mart company in general is not what he would want! As far as rating this Paragould Wal-Mart, I would rate them a big fat zero! If I had another place in Paragould to go, I would! I go to Fred’s and Dollar General even if I have to pay more because I do not want to go to this Wal-Mart! My mailing address where I get all mails is **.

I have seen a lot of solicitors at the door asking for donations. Your signs strictly say, "No soliciting on premises.” I don’t care if it is for a so-called non-profit organization. Soliciting is soliciting. I hate being harassed going in and coming out of your store asking for money. One solicitor tried to preach God to me and it really pissed me off. Target does not allow this for this very reason. My question is I am a salesman and I sell products, so why can’t I set up at your door and ask and harass people for money? I am a needy cause I have a family to support. Let me solicit my products at your door. But basically this is just a written proof letter for the reason of being that if anyone else preaches their religion to me, then I will file a lawsuit.

I have decided that Wal-Mart will be the last on my list of stores to shop. I've been struggling with this decision for some time. More and more, the shelves are not stocked with the brands that I use and I am speaking of the Wal-Mart brands. It seems to be a marketing ploy to have the consumer buy something that they don't want just so you can deplete your stock. I am going to use the latest experience: Great Value Swiss rolls. These have not been stocked for 2 weeks now. Everything else is. Another experience I had was with the meat department. I buy round steak, not thin round steak. The employee told me they didn't have any round steak and asked what I wanted it for. I told him soup. He suggested I buy chuck steak instead. I told him if I wanted chuck steak, I would buy chuck steak. These are only 2 examples.
What I find myself having to do is get only part of what I want and then go to another store for the rest. I have decided that I will go to HEB since I live a lot closer to it instead of wasting my gas going to Wal-Mart. And, by the way, you are not cheaper on many items. The store I am referring to is located at 1205 Sawdust Rd., Spring, TX 77380.

You all need to get better and add more wheel chairs than what you got because I love Walmart. With all the money you all make, no person should have to wait when they go to the store, especially when they can’t walk. It’s not fair and then they die on you in the middle of shopping. So, it’s not cool. I spend lots of money in your store and this is something that can be improved.

We are very discouraged with the fact that we received a piece of a finger tip off of a blue latex glove in a package of our Great Value Grape Drinks Mix. We are very fortunate that either one of our children, a 2 yr old and a 5 yr old, did not inhale this item in their juice cups. Unfortunately, my husband did. He was very discouraged with this and discarded the entire content down the drain.
We are continuous Wal-Mart Shopper and do not know how such an item was overlooked during inspection. Any employee would notice the portion of their hand equipment was missing considering the size, which was approx 1.5 to 2 inches in length and color of the latex glove was blue. I would appreciate it if you would take the time to look into this matter.

The employee in the yard and garden department in the Magee, MS store did not offer to get another cart when I asked her - mine went dead going up a hill. Then, her boss came out and she started screaming that I had not asked for help. I told her then not to bother. There were many customers who witnessed this outburst. Many of the motorized carts in the Magee, Hattiesburg, and Columbia stores are run-down or often broken. I have seen customers leaving or not shopping (as I have done) and little elderly people who could barely move and have to walk.
This is a shame and reflects poorly on your company as you have so many elderly who shop at your store because it is hard for them to go from store to store and shop elsewhere. There are just not enough motorized carts to keep them replenished. I travel many miles to go shopping like many of your other customers do. I believe if this was corrected and improved upon, your customers would be better served and you would have more customers. Many of my friends have quit going because of this also.

I purchased a money order Wednesday night for $600. After running my card three times at one register (2 were declined, then the third one froze the system), I was asked to go to another register. I asked specifically if those transactions were voided and of no consequence and the clerk (some ** guy named Nick) said that the register was being strange and that I wouldn't get charged. I went to another register and told the new clerk that I wanted a money order for $625 and that I had $25 in cash. So she ran my card two times. The first time was declined because the woman was an idiot and ran my card for the wrong amount. After correcting her, I finally got my money order for $625.
I left the store. At this point, I looked on my mobile banking app and I saw three charges for $600. One was credited back within the hour and had just fallen off my statement. One $600 transaction went through just like I needed it to do. Thinking of everything being finished and that the 3rd $600 transaction would fall off just like the first one, I didn't worry about it.
This morning (2 days later), I opened my bank account to see that two transactions for $600 posted and I was now -$42, only one of them was approved. I went to the store and after dealing with ** associates, I called for the store manager. During this waiting period, I overheard a couple associates together and one of them said I was lying and just trying to get $600 from them. Finally, the store manager showed up. I explained the situation and showed them my bank statements and they said that I was only charged once and that I had already been credited for one mistake transaction but they have no record of the second transaction and refuse to hold up their "#1 in customer service" ideals and told me they wouldn't do anything about the mistake and that I had to dispute the bank. It's not my bank's fault, it's the stupidity of Wal-Mart for hiring incompetent people to run their business. I will not shop there again and I will encourage people to not shop there ever again.

The Vidalia Walmart store has been without the electric shopping carts for the handicap for over four months. My discussion with their management indicates that "they are on order". The lack of the shopping carts, as well as management's excuse, is totally lacking and devoid of any management concern. I did enjoy shopping at Walmart but can no longer patronize the store at 3109 E. 1st, Vidalia, GA. 30474, because of the lack of my mobility.
Three months ago, a "manager" took my name and phone number and said he would contact me when the matter was resolved. The call has not been received and until such time. I do my weekly shopping at BI-LO, where they have ample carts and they are workable. Thanks so much if you bothered reading this far. I am certainly looking forward to a resolution to this problem and my return to Walmart shopping. Note that after reading further down, I do not need an attorney's contact, but I would like some sort of acknowledgment of receipt of this complaint.

Walmart sells keys that start fires in your car. Do not take a chance with Wal-Mart keys. I bought keys from Wal-Mart at phone #414-355-0892. Jim ** of Wal-Mart works at phone # **. The keys started an electrical fire. The mechanic ordered brand new parts, installed them and tested Wal-Mart's keys again. All the keys made my engine go haywire. My own key which I brought the tech worked fine. The mechanic had to shut the engine off immediately or it would have started another fire with Wal-Mart keys.
Wal-Mart's representative was contacted by phone and was sent fax approximately 30 times. They don't want to pay for the devaluation of my vehicle and the car rental. They only want to pay for the labor and gave me one day to agree. I informed them that, "You are supposed to inform the public that your keys are a danger to the public." Forty five days later, I went back to the Wal-Mart and they still had no signs up warning the public that their keys can start an electrical fire. Why hasn't Walmart sent a technician out to test the brand new parts to see if they are endangering the public? Forty five days later, they haven't even put a sign up.

My daughter, who worked at Walmart years ago, has a serious eating disorder and is on disability. At that time, she was bravely trying to work, becoming more weak and thin. Long story short, she tried to take a basket of groceries out the door. A year or two later, she went in another nearby Walmart where she then lived and tried to take food again. Both times, my daughter was starved and was waiting for insurance companies and travel to go to eating disorder facilities (there are none in my state and there were very few counselors who can help). Long story short, she has gone to counseling for years. She and her therapist wrote letters to Walmart and Hastings, where she had stolen. Hastings understood my daughter has a problem and decided to give her another chance. Walmart, on the other hand, has coldly told her no, they will not lift the no trespass order. Since then, my daughter has slipped into depression and her condition is very serious.
I wrote Walmart and tried to tell them about eating disorders and that my daughter is a very good person with a very bad illness. I am very disappointed that Walmart would react that way. Can't they see that she wasn't even in her right mind when she did those things? What part of sick do they not understand? She has done her part and worked hard, even when there are no ED facilities here. Her therapist believed she was ready to deal with shopping again. Even criminals do their time and then are out of jail to live freely again. Walmart has labeled my daughter a bad person and has done irreparable harm to her recovery. If she dies, I hope their management can live with it.

I didn't know that all Wal-Marts are not equal! Today, April 2nd, I went into your Wal-Mart store on Gresham Rd. in Decatur, GA to make some purchases. While I was there, I spotted some patio cushions on sale for $21 each. I needed 4 cushions but they only had 3. I waited patiently for the sales person (the only person working in the area around noon time) to check and he said the Memorial store had nine cushions and suggested I go there. I drove to the Memorial store to purchase the cushions and was stunned to learn they refused to sell me the cushions for the same price as their Gresham store. I was told by the assistant manager named **, who told me to be sure to spell has name correctly, that he couldn't sell me the cushions for the same price as the Gresham store because their cushions wasn't on sale at this store. He refused to honor the sale price that the other store had and said the prices can vary on merchandise at each store based on its location.
I said, "Does this mean all Wal-Mart stores are not the same? How am I to know (as a consumer) that when I go to one store that I can be paying more in one store than another. I thought all Wal-Marts were the same." Guess I am wrong. He proceeded to suggest I was begging him to reduce the price. At that time, I threw my hand up and walked away. Because I have learned something new about Wal-Mart stores, I feel compelled to pass this information along to my friends and family and will consider whether I need to make purchases from them in the future. The assistant manager was sarcastic and unprofessional and I am old enough to be his mother. Sometimes we need to put people in positions who can think outside the box. I was not only buying cushions but also in the process of buying a $400 patio set. It was the loss of $40, worth the risk of losing $500. It doesn't seem business savvy to me.

On 3/31/12 I took my 18 yr old grandson to Super Wal-Mart in Plano Texas at 1200 E Springcreek, to buy a shotgun for skeet shooting, for his graduation from high school. We arrived at approximately 4pm and went to the sporting goods. The clerk’s name was **, an older man. When my grandson told the clerk what he wanted, he immediately became rude and had an attitude. When learning my grandson was 18 years old, he began to grill him. To make a long story short, after 45 minutes of this clerk’s hateful attitude, he refused to sell him a gun.
May I add that T, my grandson, is an honor student and has never been in any trouble. I own a gun license and watched him fill out the answers required on a computer and know for a fact they were correct. After all of this, he informed us he was not going to sell him the shotgun. When T politely asked why he stated that, he was not going to tell him. We went next door to Academy Sporting Goods store and purchased the same shot gun in about 20 minutes, by the way for less money. You people need to know the 2nd amendment was violated yesterday. This clerk committed a crime and I will be contacting whoever necessary to try to get him reprimanded.
You have this incident on camera. Review it. It is not up to an old worn out Wal-Mart clerk to decide who can and cannot purchase a gun. I want Wal-Mart to know I will not let this drop until this man is discharged. I live in Oklahoma and my grandson is a resident of Texas. I am going to keep in touch and want this dealt with. At Academy Sporting Goods another customer stated he had heard a lot of complaints about Wal-Mart and how they treat gun-buying customers.

On 3/31/2012 at 7:52pm I went to our one and only Walmart at 2425 Memorial Dr, Waycross, GA to return some goods. I had the receipt for some of it but did not for the Leapster Explorer and 2 games. There were two customer service reps at the desk when I walked in. The first rep I dealt with returned the items that I had a receipt for and told me she would have to make a call because of the value of the Leapster items. Not a problem. After waiting 15 minutes, a call came in and the second representative answered the phone. She quickly got off and said to my husband and I, “We can't take it back.” I said to her, “Okay, why?”
She huffed and puffed, rolled her eyes and got back on the phone and said “They want to know why.” She proceeded to say, “Because you don't have a receipt.” So my husband asked if it was possible to look up the transaction using the credit card I used to purchase the items in question (we know of several stores that can and do this). She didn't bother to ask ** (the manager) our question but proceeded to tell us very angrily at this point, “We can't do anything for you, unless you know the exact date, time, register and check.” I told her that I did not think she understood what I was asking and again repeated the question. She interrupted and said the same thing all over again, “You need to know the date, time, register and cashier.”
At this point she was still on the phone with the manager and asked her, “Can you come talk to these people?” She walked across the room to the other customer service rep (who was helping other customers) and said to her, “I should have let you deal with that.” I looked over at her at the same time she looked at me and said, “What?!” I told her that she had customers present and that type of behavior was not necessary. She said, “I just said that I should have let her deal with you.” I told her that I knew what she had said and again, that it was not necessary. She rolled her eyes at me and quickly gathered some items in a cart and disappeared.
My husband and I waited another 10 minutes for the manager, **, to arrive with the assistant manager, **. I told the manager that I did not think ** understood what I was asking and told her about the attitude she had. Though ** was ultimately helpful, she did blow me off with my issue pertaining to ** as quickly as she could. Not even so much as an “I'll talk to her”. Anyway, I was informed that if I could pinpoint the purchase to the day of purchase, that the CO would likely be able to track my transaction. ** took my information including my phone number to give to the CO. As of yet, I have not heard anything. We shall see.
This is not the first time I have had problems with customer service at this Walmart. There are a few really sweet employees that do work there, but primarily, they are out of control and treat the customers who provide them with their jobs like dirt! There's a reason Walmart is losing business and reporting losses in their earnings!

I frequent a Walmart in Livingston, TX and it never fails that they have about 12 managers walking around with clipboards and a full store. I'm not sure about the total number of registers but there is always about 75% that is empty. My question is, if they are for busy times, how busy does it need to get? It already is a journey just getting in and the parking lines are very long.
So this morning, I decided to use a self-checkout kiosk, which is not a problem as I am educated. At any rate, for every third item, the voice says, "Please put your item in the bagging area." I already did this but to continue, you have to push "No" on the screen. So when it gets to the third item, it requests for a manager's help. So why don't they either fix the problem with the scale-bagging area or open and employ some more registers? What is the purpose of the registers sitting idle, especially when you can't walk for all of the displayed items in the way? It's just unused store space. Hey Walmart, wake up.

I went to store number 1881 in Antelope, California. I purchased a toothpaste holder, iPhone charger, a Cricut that didn't have a CD and a mat. I also had a clapper that smelled like it had burnt up inside–very strong smell. I went to the store and stayed there for 1 hour to get help. I was told they couldn't help me with my return because the store manager ** said they have lots of thefts at their store. I explain to them we order the items online and I don't have my receipt. I plug the clapper in my outlet and plugged my light up; it shorted my light out. They refuse to help me. They advise me to go to another Walmart.
I went on Walmart’s website and this is their return policy: “Walmart's No Receipt policy applies to items returned in a store only. You have the option of a cash refund (for purchases under $25), a Gift Card for the amount of the purchase (for purchases over $25) or an even exchange for the product. We also follow any manufacturer's warranties. You can make up to three No Receipt returns within a 45 day period.”
I truly believe they don't give every customer the same treatment mainly due to their race. I truly believe it should be a class action lawsuit because I'm not the only person who have experienced this problem at Walmart.

My girlfriend has been working with Walmart for almost six years now. While she does have a disability, it is not severe. She has been in maintenance the whole time. She has had one main manager who treats her very badly. Last week, she asked for more hours and she got the usual run around. That same day, she was called into the office and was told that a customer had reported that she was heard talking about being dissatisfied with her hours. She was told that if she did not like it there, she should just go. She constantly requests that she be allowed to try other departments and every time she asks, she gets told to hang on and then watches her hours get cut. Can we sue this person?

Absolute worst customer service I could imagine. I tried to order 8 items and use the "Free to Store" shipping method offered at checkout. Once I got to checkout, Walmart indicated those items don't ship to store but will ship to your home for a $140 shipping fee. I called customer service, waited for thirty minutes after incompetent Ebony said she could put me off to a supervisor (not intentionally just the way it was done). Jessica (supervisor) went to the account and claimed that items in my cart were not available for shipping to store.
I said this is only indicated at checkout (not before) upon which then I was informed that these items can only be shipped to my home, which I believe is false advertising to offer the option of shipping to store and then mysteriously take it away whilst I check out. I say mysteriously because both "customer service reps" are unable to tell me why the items are available to be shipped to my home for a $140 charge but not for free to their store which is less than 50 miles from my home. I asked if I lived outside the 50-mile range, would I be able to use the ship to store option. Jessica said it doesn't matter where you live in your state, that those items don't ship to store but can ship to your home, which begged the question why. She stated she doesn't know why the items are only able to be shipped to home but not the store, possible issue with distribution center.
Jessica said she only needed to inform me of what they could do and not do in regards to order but not the reason why (customer service person should never say they don't know why a certain issue with product or service is the way it is, ever). I stated that the reason you ship to home but not to store is due to the possibility that items would be at the store and perhaps not be picked up. She said I was looking at the issue the wrong way. I was absolutely livid at this point. I again restated the issue that I was offered the option and then store pick up shipment was removed right at checkout. Items could be added to cart with option of store pick up with my zip code already added and then it vanished at check out.
This is false advertising and a total bait and switch of options and service. The fact you can ship to my home and not to your own store is total BS and furthermore, your customer service reps couldn't adequately explain why. A nonsense excuse of "distribution centers don't ship those items to Hilo store but they can be shipped to your home". I ask then, why offer free shipment to store pick-up while it's in the cart, but not when I pay for the items?
Forcefully Jessica stated what has already been said and I the paying customer just won't let that happen. So I forcefully restated the fraud and she hung up on me. Is that customer service? I don't think so. Walmart has lost my business for good. It is $260.00 plus the future spending I had planned to do at your store for the items that are available in Hilo. Target is right across the street from your store here and they at least don't hang up on you when you want an explanation.

I bought a $398 replacement plan along with the TV I bought from Wal-Mart in July 2009, only because the clerk said it was hassle free and even came with a gift card that would be activated once/if a claim was filed and the TV was sent to the warranty depot through Wal-Mart. The pamphlet that was stapled to my receipt said "Product replacement" but on my receipt it says two-year service agreement. The clerk told me that, "For $30 bucks, you have a guarantee that that if the TV does malfunction or is accidentally damaged, I would just call the 800 # on pamphlet and print out the shipping label and drop the box off at UPS or whatever. Once the depot got the package, the gift card would be activated and I could go to any Wal-Mart store and use the card for a new TV or anything else I wanted if another TV wasn't something I wanted to buy again.
The warranty people from Wal-Mart said my plan was an 18-month service plan and not a replacement plan. That means they send out my TV for repair which takes up to a month to process and determine if a check will be mailed or if the TV will be repaired. My receipt says two-year product care plan and not 18 months. The problem is that I was misinformed and given info that was incorrect in order for Wal-Mart to get the extra $30 from me! That is illegal for sure and maybe a mistake, but either way, Wal-Mart did me wrong and should honor what I was told and sold, despite what is or isn't offered for particular products. I spoke to the 1800walmart customer service and they said they were sorry but after 15 days, Wal-Mart has nothing to do with it. They just your money and run. The good old American way, I guess.

So, on March 29, I was called in the office by the assistant manager, zone manager, and my department manager. I thought I was having my verbal, but they shocked me when they said it was a written coaching. I told them I never had a verbal warning. They got on the computer and said that I had a verbal on Feb. 19 with the assistant manager over my department. The talk me and him had was the evaluation, which is done after 3 months when you are hired. I kept saying I didn’t have a verbal, but they went ahead and gave me a written verbal.
I was really upset about that because I have sacrificed and did my best. I remember working even on my days off last year’s Christmas because everybody was calling in. Plus, I had to go school full-time. I also remember one of the associates I worked with had problems at home and so the same assistant manager, who claimed to have given me a verbal, and a zone manager and my department manager had a talk to with her. She opened up to them and told them that her husband has been beating her and the kids. She told them because being the managerial staff, she trusted them as she told them confidentially. But the following day, all other department managers knew about it. She was the talk of the store. She ended up quitting because of that.

She said they must be marked wrong. So, anyways, she started acting like I stuck the $5 clearance price on the rack. I said, “Look, lady, half have stickers for $5, some for $7, some for $10 and some even had stickers for $10, $7, and $5 on some of the sweatshirts.” It’s like they could not make up their mind what to sell them for.
So, needless to say, the manager would not sell them to me for $5 and basically accused me of putting the clearance price on them. I told her, “Look at your ** camera—I never touched nothing.” There was a Walls work overalls that was marked down and on a clearance rack. I thought that was strange. So I looked around and there was none anywhere else at all. This was the only Walls overalls there. Ok, that must be why they are on clearance. So, anyway, them along with sweat shirts I was refused the price on the clearance rack that was listed for. I was accused of moving items and changing prices.

A new assistant told my wife (pharmacy department manager) she had till February (This was before Christmas.) to get her "outs" down to an acceptable level. In early January, she got a verbal coaching from this same assistant. My wife felt she was being treated unfairly, and via the open door policy, she went to the store manager who seemed to support her.
Now in March of the same year 2012 (March 27), she received a written coaching for the same thing, after things had seemingly returned to normal (and her outs were down). The next time her outs were up, there came the written coaching described above in which she was told that she was not allowed to say anything in her defense (no excuses allowed) and that the same assistant had been told by the store manager that my wife had talked to her about this same assistant manager.
I am convinced they are trying to get her to quit or fire her soon due to the higher wage she receives (She's worked there 25 years with no complaints and had hardly any sick days used.) in an effort to trim overhead. She has heard that new policies have come from the home office that is forcing this pressure on employees, but it's a no-win situation for my wife. Here are a few of the unfair pressures put on her in the last few months:
1. Shorter hours from 32-40 varying each week.2. Constant removal from her department to assist others in their departments, so she has less time to get her job done
3. Being put in a situation that she can't succeed in with some management pushing one way of dealing with her 'outs' that contradicts store policy on
ordering too much at a time
4. Basically, she has two hours a day to complete what used to take a full 8 hours and was told by this same assistant that since she has a small department,
that's all she should need (small but very high volume) to get her job done but that also her "outs" were to be her main focus when she has endless
modulars to set up and freight to put up with more time wasted with a couple of hour-long meetings a week.
5. And the worst part is that an unknown amount of the "outs" problem is coming from receiving not doing their job with her storage bins in the back never
holding what the records show they should have. She just found a box that was completely empty and yet it was being scanned as full.
Through fear and intimidation at Wal-mart, I believe, it's taking advantage of the current job market to "crack the whip" (It's common to be told that if you don't like it, get out). And then to top all of this stress with the removal of the profit-sharing program that had been in place for most of my wife's career (replaced with one that only matches employee contributions), there's increasing health-care costs (for less coverage).
My wife is breaking down from wear and tear to her hands and back and the stress with no other skills to fall back on, since she's been at Wal-Mart most of her life. I am extremely concerned for her and us (I am sad to say, mentally ill from stress and anxiety-related issues, so this is my only chance to help her), and even to make this complaint terrifies me that it will cause her more grief at work. We are just hanging on here and are in desperate need of help. (We're married 32 years.)

I probably won’t be back for anything in your service center. There is certainly no “express” in Wal-Mart Tire & Lube Express. This could have all been avoided by asking and informing guest of decisions made that affect our pocketbooks. I am aware of the whole get-them-to-shop stuff to buy more, but that's not for everyone. We shop there when we need other things. When we need a tire to get other things done, a little promptness would be appreciated.

I really don't know why the dispute began, but this is not my complaint. My complaint is that there were a few cashiers who worked the morning of 3/28/2012 who found the situation very funny. ** also thought it was funny that when the customer appeared to leave, she made an obscene and derogatory gesture about the irate customer because he had appeared to be homosexual. I told the other manager that seems to be above her with the fake eye and he looked at me as if he didn't care even though he said he would keep an eye on it! How? When the customer has left. Before I told him, I did see the customer still standing there but he did not witness the team leader's action.
I took this very personal because I was treated the same way by another cashier at another Walmart, and the same thing happened. The cashiers laughed and the manager did nothing. I was disappointed by the actions of the workers and the team leader, who should know better not to increase in other possibilities of stress. Because there was an older lady who looked fearful because it took awhile for the head managers to come help diffuse the situation, she had to walk right by the cashier and the angry customer. As ** walked by the first time, I asked her "should I be fearful and leave for a while?". She said nothing but kept walking, I am not sure if she heard me or not. I am just glad the angry customer who appeared to be a homosexual did not witness her gesture because I think it would have been more trouble and yelling, possibly hitting, after that because she attacked his sexuality. What if I was his relative or a mystery shopper? If you guys decide to have a meeting on this, I will be more than happy to attend to show exactly what she did!

I am complaining about the removal of the employees that stand at the front of the stores. I believe that they are referred to as door greeters. Since they have been removed at the Princeton, KY Wal-Mart Supercenter, persons that are handicapped or disabled are not plugging in the motorized carts. Others that are very good about plugging them in are entering the store to carts that are not plugged in and charging or to ones that have been placed every which way thus making the area congested.
I use the carts due to knee problems and the fact that the concrete floors that are in this supercenter makes them hurt more. I know that you can not do anything about customers that do not show courtesy to others but when the door greeters were there, carts were neatly placed and customers were not coming in to dead carts. I think removing the greeters was a huge mistake for Wal-Mart and its customer service. I know that some of the door greeters in other supercenters did not do that much, i.e. Hopkinsville, KY, but Princeton's greeters have always been very nice and courteous when it came to customer service. In regards to being ADA compliant, I wonder if this is being compliant by not aiding the handicapped. Also, some areas in this store are not made to get the motorized cart through. One area in particular is in the plants. The passage is not wide enough for the carts let alone a single person.

She all but called me a liar saying the item displayed was not selling for the price displayed. I got angry and told her that there was no reason for the price to be in question if the place was in order. I changed my mind and told her I would file a complaint.
I shop this store all the time and am a Sam's club member. The whole store always looks non-shelved and things are out of order. Please have someone address not only this situation but the overall cleanliness of the store and the availability of items.
I've had two other unpleasant experiences at this same store. (1.) Christmas Layaway I really appreciated it but when I went to pick up the item, I was told that it was put back into stock. I waited until the deadline due to storage. The clerk told me they had attempted to contact me. I received no calls from Wal-Mart. I was in the store on the Friday night for pickup but was told the deadline had been extended. I said great since I was ready to pickup but it was raining that night and I didn’t want to get wet with the loading. When I arrived on Monday, I was told it was back in stock. The clerk who told me the deadline had been extended was working but would not admit she told me it was extended. I was upset due to my trying to get things taken care of for the children I made the purchases for. The staff of layaway came out and it seemed to me they all wanted to blame me for not picking up the lay away on time.
(2.) The other thing is the fruit and produce section. Until a month or so ago, it never looked clean. The tomatoes and strawberries especially looked bad and usually I throw away more than I keep. I told a friend who works in a different Wal-Mart what I experienced and since that time, things have looked better. I do not intend to stop shopping the store but this is what happened to me. There is no telling what is happening for other customers.

I love going to Wal-Mart. They have good prices and they have everything. The one thing that had me disappointed yesterday, 3/21/12, was that I wanted to make some photo copies and I didn't know how to use the machine. I wanted to make a picture 8 by 10 and I asked a Mexican lady that works at the photo center if I can make a photo 8 by 10. She said yes, but in a manner that was not acceptable. She was making faces like she didn't want to be there or she didn't just want to help no one. That was the worst costumer service I ever had. She told me if I don't like the results, then go to another store, basically kicking me out of the store. So I had to go to Walgreens instead. I have been in retail for 6 years and still in progress and I always have a positive attitude and the best customer service. I leave the problems at home. I’m sorry for this complaint, but I really did feel sad how I got treated by that lady. She’s the only one that has no customer service skills. She speaks for her self, but all the other employees were excellent!

I went back to the store on March15 with the receipt to see if an item was left at the register. The associate that I asked for help was rude, arrogant, and said there was nothing she could do for me. I took my receipt to security. I came back and said they looked at the tape and saw all items were put in bags and watched me leave the store and put the bags in my car. All I wanted her to do was to check and see if they had been turned in. After spending $172.00, I wasn't trying to get something for nothing. She flipped her hair and head around and chalked off. I was stunned. The nice associate at the return department register asked if she could do anything to help. I thanked her and said I'll take care of it.

It was a Wednesday afternoon, at 3:10. I went to the jewelry section to ask if they can pierce my 6 month old baby’s ears, but I was told that the lady who pierces ears was on her break, and she would be back in 15 minutes. I waited patiently, and walked around Wal-Mart. After 15 minutes, I walked to the jewelry section again, and the lady ask me if I needed help, and I responded back saying yes I came to get my baby's ears pierced, and she said she’s already closing and is about to go home. I told her we were here already, and had been told she was taking a break. She rudely replied that she is leaving already. In that moment, a friend told her that we were informed that the jewelry department closes at 4:00, and there were 20 minutes remaining.
My friend asked her in a polite way, since it will only take a few minutes, and she said "I don't want to take, and wouldn't take just a few minutes on a baby" very rudely! I left very angry and upset with the way the jewelry lady had treated me. I believe that when a customer has a complaint, the staff deal with it in a polite manner, not the way I was treated. I know now never to return to Wal-Mart again, if I know how I am going to get treated. The lady who is in charge of piercing was very unprofessional, and not friendly. Wal-Mart should have friendly staff members. The Wal-Mart where I experienced a bad afternoon was the one on Santa Fe springs on Telegraph and Carmenita.

Wal-Mart employees refused to carry a heavy ladder for me. I am a 49 year old handicapped male that has rheumatoid arthritis. My disease is very advanced. I get my meds for this condition at Wal-Mart. I went in to get a 24 feet ladder, so that a friend could do some work for me, that I am not able to do to my home. I knew, or thought I knew, that an employee there at the store would carry it to the register for me to pay, and then out to my truck. Well first of all, I could not find someone around for 15 minutes. I finally got someone paged overhead to come help me. Finally, a young black guy showed up and when I asked him to carry the ladder up front for me, he gave an angry tone to me and said that I should have walked 2 or 3 aisles over, and got someone else to help me, instead of having him paged.
He just stood there and refused to do it for me. Once I insisted, he left to go get someone else. Then, he showed back up with another younger black guy, and they both stood there talking about what I wanted them to do, and acted like I was lazy or being unreasonable for asking them to do it. After they asked me why I couldn't carry it up front, I got angry and just unchained it, and got it to the floor and then picked it up and carried it up front. They just grinned at each other, and walked off. It hurt me so bad to carry that ladder up there that I had to sit in my truck for 15 minutes just to be able to drive home.
It’s been 5 days now, and I am still in horrible pain from the incident. This disease is a horrible thing to have, especially someone at my age. You have no energy, and joints and bones cripple every day. After paying for the ladder, I got a manager to get someone to carry it out for me. I told them what happened, and they said they would straighten his attitude out. I am not sure that caused me any damage, but I do know it should never have happened, and that I have been in miserable pain since then. I am the type of guy that would have tipped him after he got it on my truck.

I'm visiting Casa Grande, Arizona for 3 months and plan to make this my winter home away from Fernley, NV. I have been supporting your store in Casa Grande since arriving here in January 2012. Just the other day, I was wanting to develop my throw away digital camera and had taken the camera to the film department. There wasn't anything posted as far as options for one pic or two pics or CDs, etc. I asked the associate what was available and the cost. So she explained. Then I asked what it would cost to have a CD copy and then she said to ask her everything that I might want because she didn't want to walk back to her list again. Mind you, she only had to walk back 5-6 feet to her list.
I mentioned that it would be nice to have the options displayed for customers to see what was available. She then said that usually customers know what they want. Well, that's all well and good for someone that does this all the time, but I don't always get photos developed because I have a digital camera that I had purchased from Wal-Mart years ago. This camera was a back up camera that we keep in the car just in case we don't have the digital camera. It is sad to believe that she can assume that everybody knows exactly what they want without options displayed clearly for the consumer to select. She had made me feel rushed and unsure what to order, so I hastily chose 1 print and CD. After leaving the photo department, my wife and I asked to speak to someone to file a complaint in customer service and spoke to a representative, a very nice young lady who said that she's the one to lodge a complaint with. So we explained what happened and she had mentioned that there have been complaints about her in the past and she would talk to her. The following day my wife refused to go back to the photo department, so as not to be served by the same associate.
I said that I'll pick up the photos. When I returned to the photo department, it was clear that she had been spoken to—she gave me that look. I gave her the claim ticket; she asked me for my last name; then she retrieved my photos. I had some more shopping to do, so I asked if I could pay at the main checkout. She said no. So that was fine. I swiped my AE card and it was approved and I signed the signature pad. I placed my AE card back in my wallet and was ready to put my wallet back into my pants pocket when she asked me for ID (driver’s license) and the card to verify it was me. I have never been carded at Wal-Mart, especially when the card was approved. She was clearly trying to make her statement that she will get the last word in this matter. I purchased some more items and the more I thought about it, the more upset I became.
In the past, I had owned a specialty retail business and if this happened to one of my customers, I would not tolerate it from my employees. But I was selective on who was in a position to be out with the customers and who was in the back. I proceeded to the front. As I was leaving I saw the first lady that I had spoken to the day before and had thanked her for following through on my complaint, but mentioned that she had just carded me as I explained earlier in this statement. When I returned back to my place of residence, I called to speak to the manager about this carding incident and how I felt I was singled out because of the day earlier. He took my phone number and said he would call back after he talks to her. He has not called back.
I'm going to return back to Wal-Mart in Casa Grande today and return my photos and CD for full refund and probably never return back. I have been a loyal customer at Wal-Mart for over 10 years, shopping in Reno and Fernley for all my needs and groceries. I have found the Fry's store last night after my experience yesterday. They were very courteous and friendly. That is where I'll be shopping during my stay in Casa Grande. It is a shame how just one phone call back to me or a friendly associate could have made a difference. I usually spend $300 to $400 a month at Wal-Mart at an average.

I told the lady I was apprehensive, but she said "I will open it to make sure it was alright". Well, it was just like the first one. Like I told the young lady, anyone can make a DVD and put on it what they want. Then I was told I could not get my money back after I was told I could. I go to Walmart everyday because I like the store, but this is outrageous. I know I am just one customer, but if the professionalism that I love about the store is no longer there, I will get my movies elsewhere. To even accept and sell movies like that is a disgrace.

I purchased a barbecue. I paid for it. I always throw my receipt in my purse thinking I might need it in case of a return. I went to walk out of the store. An employee at the door said I will need to see your receipt for that barbecue. I rummaged through my purse and couldn't find it. I said if she can't you go to register 13. I am sure she will be able to tell her I paid for this barbecue. She said she could not leave the door. I said then what do you want me to do. She said she can't let me through the door without a receipt. I went over to the cashier myself and she happened to forget to give me my receipt. She had it on her cash register and handed it to me.
I know that your prices are good, but they could be even better if you did not pay someone to stand by the doors making people feel like a criminal. I was very embarrassed, angry, and felt very at a loss of what to do. I knew I paid for the barbecue as I was very upset that I couldn't find a male employee in the area of the barbecues to help me lift it in my buggy. I fought with it and got it in myself. I left concluding that you do not pay employees to be in the areas that they are needed—to help women pick up larger items—but you pay someone to stand by the door and watch for people to walk out the door with items and no receipt. I bet this happens numerous times, as nobody expects that in Walmart. Costco perhaps, because that it is their policy. If this is your policy, then the cashier should do what most stores do and put a paid sticker on a larger item. Make sure you know that they are going to ask for your receipt when you are leaving so that you have it ready or the best solution ever: post it at the cash registers where it is clear and visible.

Same thing over and over at your 4975 Transit Road Lancaster, NY Walmart. Shelves of many of the same items bare every week or they face the shelf with other products to fill the hole and it never gets ordered. Even if it is automated ship for a certain number every week and you see that you're out of it all the time, I am sure there is a way that could be overridden and a number manually put in. There are never enough registers open, this also happened during the holidays. I've seen two customers be hassled by greeters on the way out, which was uncalled for. The store is very poorly ran and even though it is less than 10 minutes from my home, many times I will travel to the store on Transit Road in Clarence.

I went to Wal-Mart to get some fish for my newly cycled 55 gallon aquarium. To my horror the conditions were disgusting. There is really too much to say so I'll just name a few. First, there were several dead fishes in each tank. One had 9 dead African Cichlids that were so decomposed they had to be there for days. Algae eaters were feeding on their rotten corpses. Second, there were some tropical fishes with cool water fishes! Several of the beta fishes were dead as well. But the worst thing I saw was a poor beta fish that was placed in a tank with other fishes. I couldn't tell that it was a beta fish at first because all of its beautiful fins had been eaten by the other fishes.
The aquarium was also full of dead fishes that the beta probably killed. An employee did this because the aquariums were locked. They have the worst conditions I have ever seen. You might get a fish here with enough diseases to kill your entire tank. I spoke with a manager who didn't seem too concerned but when I returned that evening the dead fishes were at least removed and the beta was killed. I suspect because it was removed from the community tank but I didn't see it in the cups with the other beta. Wal-Mart is all about money and that fish wasn't going to sell with its fins shredded and eaten.

Then too, there was the 1-year Emerson guarantee, which turned out to be only 90 days on the labor subsection and the full year only on the parts subsection. But in addition, I paid $10 each ($20) for an extra 2-year extension on the said Emerson guarantee. That was on 10/20/11. Then, some 5 months later and without any advance warning signals or provocation of any sort, the screen went dark.
Next day I reboxed it and hauled it and the manual, sales slip, guarantees, et al., back to WalMart where I learned from the pitiful girl there that it was not their responsibility but Emerson's. So I hauled it back home, got on the phone and called the number given on the manual cover. To shorten my story, after staying on hold for 17 minutes, the lady who I kept being reassured "valued" my telephone call finally answered her phone, got all my and my TV's data in full detail, and then forwarded me to a man for whom I had to jump all the very same hoops - Name, address, mod. no., serial no., date of purchase, etc.
I couldn't tell if he was an American or not, but he had obviously had a 'bad hair day'. He then required me to fax to him my WalMart sales slip, saying that he would get back in touch with me. Two days later, no reply from him.

Statistically, they have learned that putting that gap into their guarantee program saves them and/or their insurance partner-in-crime oodles of money. With TV repair a long-lost local industry, I've a mind to call them back, claim that my initial contact was a false alarm, that the fault was in the wall socket, and then -- you guessed it -- come this 10/20/12, put in a new claim on the extended warranty.

I am very angry about how managers and employees at Wal-Mart in Newport, Tennessee treat their customers. I am a Hot Wheels collector and my kids also love to get different kinds of Hot Wheels off of the shelves when we go there. The managers and the employees who stock the shelves go through the boxes of Hot Wheels while they are still on the clock and get certain Hot Wheels out of the boxes, lay them up somewhere for themselves or put them up so they can call another person to come and get them and make a little bit of money to that. The reason I know this is because I have seen employees go up to customers with the Hot Wheels in their hands and give them to the customers and take money from them and then the customer goes to the front of the store and pays for the Hot Wheel. I have seen this with my own eyes.
Also, another thing they do is there is a man who works back in the TLE department and the stoker's put them up for him to come and get. To me that is not right; it should be first come first serve. There are a lot of people I have met in the toy department who are also buying Hot Wheels who say the same thing about the managers and the employees who work at Wal-Mart. And if I can recall myself being right about this, Sam Walton always said the customer is always right. Thank you so much for taking the time to hear me out.

So we had to back out of the lane asking people to excuse us and went to another line. It was so embarrassing! We complained to a customer service manager and showed him the receipt that we had 16 items and how we were treated by this cashier. He said he would say something to her but he did not act like he was concerned about it and he walked away from us.
Also in this same store a couple of weeks ago, we wanted to buy some jewelry and we went to jewelry dept. We were the only customers at the counter and needed some help. The clerk was busy talking with another employee about personal matters. She knew we were there but did not want to end her conversation with the other employee. We even said, "Can we get some help please?" But she did not want to leave her friend. We waited 21 minutes and finally gave up and walked away. The bad thing about it was she watched us walk away and did not even try to get our business. We went elsewhere to purchase jewelry. We shop at this Wal-Mart all the time and spent a lot of money there but if we are going to be treated like that, it might be time to find another establishment to shop at.

I bought a $54.00 air bed that is not worth a nickel. The female floor superintendent told me, there was a new air bed policy that's only 15 days. Then she tells me not to come back with the bed because I would be wasting my time. The bed, when I bought it, came with a 90-day return; therefor, the new policy breeches my original contract. So I feel that they should give me my money back ASAP.

I do appreciate Wal-Mart at 2900 South Rutherford Blvd. But several times lately, the photo machines have not been working and when working are poor quality. Just again yesterday only, one machine was working and it does not scan. They did have the higher price machine available which I did not use. How trained are the people working that department? Are they keeping the the developing system clean? Surely Wal-Mart could afford better equipment. I have a sister-in-law in South Texas and she has the same problem. Thank you for listening.

I ordered a wireless computer right before Christmas. Four people witnessed that I ordered wireless. I just took it out of the box to hook it up (had to wait because I didn't know how to hook it up) and it is not wireless. I called the first time at 10:12 AM and it is now 11 when I got off the phone. I went through 4 people before I hung up. The first person named Leberious told me they would replace it free of charge for a wireless and gave me a number I would need to call. The number was to HP about a cord, so I called the first number back and talked to a guy named Jared. He said he couldn't do anything about it, so I asked for a supervisor. After being put on hold forever, she finally answered and refused to do anything. She said the time had run out. I told her what the first guy had told me and she still refused.
I asked for her supervisor and she told me she was the highest on the floor. I asked to speak to someone in the main office and she refused. I asked her where she was and she wasn't even in the main office. She was in NW, Alabama. Her name was Michelle and they are not allowed to give out last names, which I fully understand! At this point, I told her I now know why I don't shop at Wal-Mart and I would talk to an attorney, but she didn't care. She wasn't allowing me to talk to anyone but her! Ha ha! She must own the company! This was my first time ordering online and certainly my last time ordering or buying anything from Wal-Mart. Am I getting an attorney? Of course not, and she knew that. I lived without Wal-Mart my whole life and I can certainly live without them again!
This has certainly taught me a lesson. You know, I have heard how mean they are to their employees. And now I believe that because they are mean to their customers also. Ha ha ha! Thank God I just received a cheap printer and didn't waste my money! This is what I want, to let people know how they really are and don't order from them. They will not do anything about it if you have a problem!

It is not my fault that one of your employees failed to do their job properly and mismarked items. I feel I should be able to purchase those five CD's for that price. I frequent your store as much as three times a week and never spend less than $100.00. To me, this is bad business practice.

This is the 3rd time I have filed a complaint regarding a Wal-Mart employee, and the 2nd on this same clerk. Before, I never received any feedback on my complaint. Someone called when I was not home, and never heard from them again! I am 64 years old, mild-mannered, and I have always treated people as I want to be treated! Being a receptionist/PBX operator for a major SE US contractor for 11 years, it infuriates me to see someone act ugly to anyone. Therefore, for me to have a problem with the same clerk twice, I feel there is a problem with her, not me! I had a 20 lb. Special Kitty bag in my cart, so I asked ** to scan it before she started scanning my other products. I noted that the code was hard to find, at the very bottom. She ignored me and started scanning my other items. I had laid the bag down on its side to make it easier for her to scan and moved my cart around where she could reach it. Since I was going to have to put items close to this cat food bag, I lifted it, and again asked her to scan it.
Her hateful reply is, "I'll do that later, I heard you the first time. I am not going to walk way over there, when I have all these items on the counter!” Stunned, I let her finish her scanning, and then she walked over to scan my cat food. I just let her look and she said, "Well, where is it?" I jerked the sack up, told her, "It's at the bottom!” in a tone to let her know I was not happy. I fail to see why this clerk made a hateful remark to me, when she eventually had to walk over and scan it anyway! Most check out personnel are happy to scan your heavy items like animal food, bottled water, etc., when asked, and I feel they prefer to do it before they begin scanning your other purchases.
I really feel the Dyersburg Wal-Mart has had bad customer habits for too long a time. I knew the former manager had major health problems due to his cancer, and I always hoped the new manager would come in and make the much needed changes. You need to send secret shoppers to the Dyersburg, TN store, and just see what everyone here sees and talks about. If you ever get a competitor in the Dyersburg area, you will be in serious trouble because of the long check out wait, and the unfriendly employees.

This is the worst company I have seen go directly downhill. I know as I have family that worked for Mr. ** before he died. He made many of his employees millionaires and didn't say to them you must spend your money at my store.

On March 12, 2012, I went into Wal-Mart store located at 6149 Old National Hwy, College Park, GA 30349, to replace or seek core reimbursement for a battery which I purchased from Wal-Mart. In attempting to obtain service, I ended up waiting for at least 45 minutes to one hour just a manager to come and reimburse me nine dollars! The cashier called for a manager more than three times, still no response. One of the managers in the department even went searching for a manager.
After almost an hour, one young lady showed up and said, “Sir we’re sorry, now let's move along with the matter.” She was so rude and "nice nasty". At this point, a Mr. ** showed up and I expressed my complaint to him and asked for a complimentary gift card from Wal-Mart since I had to wait for so long. Mr. ** immediately insisted that I had not waited long and basically called me a liar. I attempted to get Mr. ** to make the whole incident a positive customer service experience, but refused and treated me very unprofessionally. Mr. ** even stated that he was in the area and did not see me and that I couldn't have been in store #3401 for 45 minutes to an hour waiting for service. If he was in the area, why didn't he promptly respond to the cashier's call over the store announcement call for a manager in the tire/car center department of Wal-Mart?
Finally, I called and complained to Manager **, but could not get through to the said manager. An assistant talked with me and promised the manager would call me back. No response or courtesy follow up by the management at store #3401. I contend that Mr. ** and the management team therein is very unprofessional and insensitive to customer needs.
In addition, I do want to point out that I received excellent customer service interaction from employee ** in the mechanic department, also his manager on the floor was very helpful as well, despite the number of customers waiting in line for service. Therefore, the relief I seek is: customer service training for the parties involved and a complimentary gift card for my inconvenience. Kroger store has often given me customer gift cards for any inconvenience or default products.

I would prefer someone call the number provided. I purchased an engagement ring. First, it was to be re-sized and would take up to a week and a half. After that time, they said that the ring could not be re-sized. This was missed by 2 different workers. This was on 3/3/12. So then I picked out a more costly ring, in which all they had to do was order the ring in size 8 because all rings are size 7. Now on the 10th, they said it would take another week and a half to get it. Now common sense says it does not take twice the time to order a ring than to send one in, have it re-sized and sent back. When I asked where it was, they took a whole 5 minutes trying to cover their lie. They didn't order it till I came and asked. My fiance was devastated because the first ring was the one she really wanted. The two managers were rude to me. I will tell you now I was courteous, but I will not be lied to.

Well, the girl rang up 3 packs of cigarettes, gave him the 3 packs, and put it all in bag. My husband came home. I said, "Why did you get three packs?" He said he asked for only 1 pack. So I was thinking on last Friday's trip to the store when 2 packs were asked for and 2 packs were rung up but only 1 pack was given to him for the price of 2 packs. I'm seeing there are weird issues going on at that store with the cigarette sales.
I called them at 5:23 am (When my husband was at the store, it shows on the receipt the time of 5:02 am.), as soon as I realized what they had done again. I asked to speak to a manager, and he was very nice about it all. I told him what happened last week when we got 1 pack of cigarettes but paid for 2 and that we had to run back to the store to get the other pack that was owed. Then I told him we wanted 1 pack of cigarettes and the same girl as last week rang up 3 packs and gave us 3 packs. We had other items and didn't notice the price issue till we got home. The manager was real nice. I also got flowers but were way past the viewing stage (dead and falling apart).
Then I also told him that last week when there was an issue, I ran right down to fix the problem but that this week, I couldn't run right back to fix yet another one of that girl's mistakes. I asked if it was OK to go back to the store tonight to return the extra cigarette items I did not ask for. He said, "Sure, no prob." and also said to bring in the items (flowers and unopened pack of cigarettes).
Well, I went in and I got money back for the dead flowers at purchase price, but they wouldn't give back taxes on it. I thought it was a law that you get taxes back on returned items. Well, they said they can't do it for cigarettes. I said that it wasn't my fault and that the girl messed up and gave me too many packs. I also said that I called the manager and that he said I could come in and have mistake corrected. Well, they would not say they're not allowed to by law, and I understand that. But they could give my money back and throw out the cigarettes. It was not my fault; the girl messed up again. It wasn't my fault. I couldn't run right in again to fix yet another cigarette issue.
The people at the front desk were very rude, and I felt like they thought I was lying. The cigarettes were only $2.12 a pack, so it was $4.24 total. I don't understand why I have to pay for that girl's careless mistakes. I should have been refunded the money and the girl should be retrained again.
I spend so much money in there every week and every month. I can't say I won't be going back there again, because I will have to. But I'll buy my groceries, gas, cigarettes, beauty products, and meds at other stores. I liked going there, because I got everything done at one location. But I'm going to try and spend at least 95% less there, even less when I can. A bummer for me, because I sure did like your clothes (lol). Anyways, I don't see how it can be at all right that I have to pay for someone's mistake. I just don't get it.

I dropped him off at the front door of the Walmart store #3828 on Tuesday, 3/7/12, and went to park the car. When I got into the store, he was sitting on one of the motorized shopping carts, but it would not go. He thought the battery was not charged up so he moved to the next one. It didn't work either. He tried to make sure it was plugged in and discovered that of the 3 prongs on the plug, only the ground one was still there. There was no door greeter, so I had to trot up to the customer service desk to find someone. They paged someone, but he never came. Meanwhile, a fellow customer told us that there was only one working cart out of the 6 sitting at the front entrance. My husband got on it and it ran, until he got halfway through the store and was stranded. Then I had to push my shopping cart ahead of me while pulling him through the store by hanging onto the motorized cart basket.
I finally aimed my shopping buggy at the back of his seat and pushed him on the "motorized" shopping cart using my buggy. He had to remain on the cart and press the lever to go forward or it wouldn't go anywhere at all. Shame on you for firing the door greeters, those folks kept the carts plugged in and instructed the customers on how to use them. They also reported the broken ones so they could be fixed. Penny-wise and pound foolish of you! While I am on my soapbox, why don't all of the Walmarts have the same foods? In Henders, they have Chappell Hill sausage. It's good and made 35 miles up the road.

If it is the store manager's job to order for his store, please shake his chair and wake him up. Lakeport (Longview) had plenty of Pillsbury biscuits, but Henderson might as well change their name to "Great Value" mart because they only have one Pillsbury product and very few Sargento products, but a ton of that nasty Great Value cheese and biscuits. Are you running a contest to see which store can sell the most Great Value? As far as the next field here about attorney contact, I just want you to wake up and climb down off your ivory tower there in Bentonville and see what your customers are seeing.

She had to change 4 times, then someone moved her dead cart with her groceries (of course, no store employee admitted to it), so she had to re-shop.
I’ve heard other elderly people complain about this same thing. The assistant manager says it’s because the customers don’t plug them up when they finish with them. It should not be the customer’s responsibility to make sure they get plugged up. How would you like being an elderly person and going through this or how would you feel if it was your elderly mother having to deal with this.
This is ridiculous! They never even apologized. I’ve asked to speak to the manager there, he is never there! They should designate someone to do that job, maybe one of those many people that stand around together talking and when you ask a question, they don’t know because it’s not their department! I’m furious! We will be taking our business elsewhere and I’ll be telling everyone I know!

Back in July, I placed an order on Walmart.com for a video game (Mass Effect 3: Collector's Edition) that was to come out March 1. It's common practice to pre-order games, especially limited-run collector's editions. In February, I checked online to see that the order was canceled and wasn't told why. I spoke with someone on the phone and the person explained it wasn't really canceled and would get back to me. No one ever did.
On March 5, I checked again only to find that it was still listed as canceled. I called their CS again and this time I was told that it was canceled. Nothing was said that it was canceled due to the release date change. I fired off a few e-mails and was responded to on March 6 around 2:30 am explaining why it was canceled and that it wasn't really canceled. Due to the release date change it was canceled to release authorization but will still be sent. All was well and good and I thanked the person for explaining it to me.
Later on in the day, I received another e-mail that it was canceled and that I had requested it canceled. I had done no such thing. I called Wal-Mart twice and I'm now out of luck. The item can't be ordered anymore because it's no longer available and I'm not getting one because someone there decided to cancel the item on me.
This is the worst customer service I've ever come across. I wouldn't wish Wal-Mart is my worst enemy.

I broke my laptop and I purchased a new one from Wal-Mart. I didn't open it because I found that the old one could be fixed. I waited to make sure that it could be fixed. After it checked out okay, I went to return the brand new, unopened Dell laptop to Walmart. They refused to take it because it was longer than 15 days. I was told I would have to return it to the manufacturing company. It was not opened. Why will they not take it back? I have not contacted Dell yet, but was told they are worse than Wal-Mart.

Store 0101 has lack of people greeters at the front entrances. My understanding is that they only have one at the door from about 10 am to 5 pm. They have a responsibility to take anyone who is after a product and don't know where it’s located that the greeter has to take them to the location. This leaves no one at the door to respond to door alarms going off or people bringing returns back. The front has electric carts in the way plus other carts everywhere. It’s basically a mess, plus a lack of security in checking out alarms or people walking out. Rolla has a good supply of people who will steal. The current procedure makes this much easier and I would guess that when you do inventory, it will be much greater than ever before of loss. If this is acceptable to Walmart, then I can live with it. This is just furnished for information only. It doesn't affect how or where I shop. I will continue to shop at Walmart.

I never received full order from Wal-mart.com. I ordered and paid for a 6-pack of halogen light bulbs. When the order arrived, there were only two bulbs in the package. When I contacted Wal-Mart, they said they would fix it and sent another package--also two bulbs. So I am still out two bulbs. I contacted them again and received no satisfaction. They just passed me around with no one resolving the problem. They even sent me a form evaluation of their online service. Even after my unhappy review of their performance, no one ever contacted me about the problem. I probably made about half dozen phone calls and similar number of e-mails with absolutely no resolution or apparent interest on their part. Probably the most aggravating internet transaction I have ever had. I would never do it again!

I was just browsing the local Facebook page and reading the remarks regarding the service at our local Walmart. It reminded me that I have been for some time been planning to write to you folks. Our store is always out of most things on a regular basis (Food Department). Some days it’s there, sometimes the shelves are empty, sometimes not. I would perceive that at least 30% of the shelves are empty at all times. The shelves in the Food Department are at least 6 ft. high and then stocked too deep that one would need to be 8 ft. tall to reach anything after the first row is gone. The same goes with other shelves that are stacked so deep no arm is long enough. I won’t go on other than give you two examples for three weeks running. In the meat section there was not a package of bologna, salami or any other sandwich meats; a blank spot of about 6 ft. long.
I like the Walmart brand of Diet Root Beer; completely out three Fridays in a row. This, on all three occasions, was at around 3 pm. The main topic of discussion while spending 20 to 30 minutes in the cashier line is the bad service, the lack of help, and the lack of product available. From my experiences at other Reno area Walmarts, I would think that whoever manages this store should be thoroughly ashamed. Does this store not have a district manager to check up on things?

It's another horror story from a Wal-Mart in Naples, Florida. Without a doubt the help that Wal-Mart hires is overwhelmingly Hispanic. It is because of their work ethic that Wal-Marts suffer horrible customer service. Hispanics treat whites as second class citizens. They simply do as they are told and do not use any initiative to excel in their jobs. Hispanics bring in their cousins, friends, relatives to a point where it's one giant Hispanic click in any given store. If there is a white manager, you will never see them on the floor; they hide in the back. There needs to be a massive restructuring of every Wal-Mart store so that there's an even mix of whites and other nationalities. As long as Hispanic workers account for their work force, Wal-Mart will continue to lose business as it's one lousy place to shop.

But never is it appropriate to pierce a newborn’s ears in the first 6 weeks of life. A global policy is needed on this issue guys before you end up with a complication and a lawsuit. This baby is fine at 14 days of age but they have very immature immune systems and this is why we don’t immunize them until 6-8 weeks of age.

I travel quite a bit so I get to several stores around the US. You have employees that do not meet what I think and what you should expect as professionals working in the stores. Examples: Checkers with bad teeth, body piercing on all parts of the face, young men with pants hanging half down their butt and oversized earrings. To me, it looks like you have gang members working for you. Point is, I do not think your stores are showing the professional attitude that they should. When I go to checkout, I don't expect to be greeted by someone who looks like some tribe in the jungle when you live in America. I have left the store on checkout when these sloppy people have been there to check me out. I left merchandise on the counter and walked out. I always thought Walmart was a professional business.

I went in to a local Wal-Mart in Ft. Worth. I'd been many times when walking by an aisle I noticed they had Betta fish. I walked over and to my disgust there many dead Bettas in rows on a shelf with absolutely no supervision. It appeared some had been there weeks with slimy water with so much feces floating through the water. You could barely see most of them and more than 10 were tattered and on the verge of dying. I fed them and the ones that could move ate every bit as if they hadn't eaten in days. It was heart-breaking a living creature is shelved and left to live in the sickening conditions without any care. No one works the pet aisles. There were no tanks of other fish and you would never notice them unless you were right in front of them.
I was told by an employee that some teenage boys put several together and left them. They obviously fought and looked awful. I pleaded with a manager to have someone change their waters. I bought one (at full price) and took it home. I went back the next day and a few waters had been changed but the dead fish I had set aside were still there! The worst plastic containers were not cleaned and it was so awful you couldn't even see some of the fish. I've now rescued 5 and they are doing much better. However there are approximately 15 left. They are lifeless and look like they were all torn up. I took pictures as well. The manager said he would request to stop sending to their store but he didn't think it was in his control.
It's heart-breaking to hear so many other Wal-Marts are treating them the same way. It is a living creature and it is unfair. I am going to keep finding a way to expose this so more people are aware to try to put a stop to this. If you are going to have them, take care of them and have it supervised several times a day. I'm now boycotting Wal-Mart and passing it along to everyone I can reach out to. I would suggest running a special on small tanks and give them away and never order them again unless you have other fish and someone is assigned to that area to take care of them. For young kids to come without anyone seeing them and putting them all together to watch them fight should never have happened. If you want to see on someone should keep them locked up for serious buyers. It is absolutely disgusting the way Wal-Mart treats these poor living creatures living.

I will start off by saying that every time I go to the Wal-Mart on Merchant Lane in King George to return something it takes forever. There is usually no one in line so you would think my transaction would be quick; however, the problem is the associates are too busy talking to their friends to help the customers. And this has happened on every visit to the customer service desk three times this week. When the associate finally realizes I am there, it takes forever to complete the transaction because they are well versed in how to do their jobs. On February 28, I made a purchase from the Wal-Mart in Washington Square. That same day, I exchanged it at the Merchants Ln store and brought an accessory to go with.
Upon arriving home, my friend said he had already ordered one online so on March 1 I returned to the Merchants Lane store to get a refund. After the associate stopped communicating with friends and got to me, she informed me that I do not have the correct receipt. I told her I never took it out of the bag and that was what I brought. She goes on again to tell me I do not have the correct receipt and she can only give me a store credit. I told her that was unacceptable I needed it credited back to the credit card I purchased it with and that was the only receipt the woman gave me. So she finally after several minutes get a CSM who proceeds to tell me the same thing. I told her I paid with my credit card. Wal-Mart's associate was the one who messed up by giving me the wrong receipt and a store credit was not acceptable.
So after several more minutes, the CSM goes over to another computer to look for the receipt which she can't find. She calls a manager over. He cannot find the receipt. By this time, there were five people trying to find the receipt (and it wasn't that they couldn't find my receipt, they couldn't find any receipt for the 28th. So they called someone else over an assistant manager. After a few minutes, she finds my receipt and tells a different associate to do the refund. Now, that transaction which should have taken a couple of minutes took an hour! Ridiculous. Totally not customer service friendly! These customer service associates need to be trained in how to serve their customers and not worry about conversations with their friends on work time. I will not be going back to this store. I would rather driver 15 more minutes and go to a store where I know I can get in and out in a minimal time frame.

Poor Management and Poor Customer Service: I have a complaint about the Cockeysville, Maryland store. I was in there to purchase items at the deli. There was one person helping one person while three of us stood there. I could see three other employees behind the counter and behind a screen. Two others walked past behind the counter. No one stopped to help. While we stood, another employee came on duty and actually yelled to the others that there were customers. Still, no one moved. After nearly ten minutes, I finally left and checked out my all 15 items of my other merchandise. The people I was standing with were still waiting for service.
I left the store and immediately dialed the store manager. I was put on hold for 8 minutes. (I timed it.) I finally hung up and dialed back and told the clerk I was put on hold for 8 minutes. Her response was the manager didn't pick up the line. When I finally got a manger, I was told how he now had to watch the cameras to see what happened, as though this was a nuisance for him. I think the entire store is in need of real management. This whole thing was a ridiculous waste of time during my lunch hour since it was apparent the manager was only going to yell at someone and not address the situation properly. It is a shame that the complaints about Walmart just keep rolling in and no one does anything about them.

Also, there are never enough cashiers. I was told that management changed. That seems to be when the problems started. I never had these problems before. I go to Wal-Mart at least twice a week and there is always something that I can't find. The only way to make sure it’s ordered is to tell someone.

I really wish someone would address this issue. A lot of people here in Clovis are not happy.

He arrives at work at 4:00 pm and his crew consists of two new employees and someone who does not speak English well. The manager Yvonne comes around at 6:00 pm, finds that the trucks are not unloaded and recruits other employees to help move freight, so they can remove the freight from the truck. It takes until 8:30pm to remove the freight from the truck. No one is in the truck helping my son remove the freight and his keeping up with the others as they remove the freight from the doorway. The others are responsible for stacking it in the warehouse.
Yvonne has her own criteria about how high to stack the inventory, which is not Walmart policy. The inventory was not stacked as wanted it so she said. "The Colorado store is able to unload and stack the inventory faster and better". She turns to my son and said "You have been warned about this before and you are fired". He was the only one fired, none of the one's stacking the inventory was fired. (Yvonne has written him up before because he pointed out that he does not control the other employees' behavior). Another manager told him he needed to fight the complaint in their "open door policy". This kid has had his toenail removed twice now because they don't maintain the floor jacks and he accidentally ran over his toe. There are times he has had scratches on his arms because he is trying to hurry to unload the freight and doesn't pay attention and scratches his arms.

Only after about six months the right mouse button on my laptop broke. Since she had bought the insurance on it, we figured we should send it in to get it fixed. So I packed it up and sent it out. Mind you, I backed everything important up. They tell you to in case something goes wrong when they're fixing it, and they wouldn't be liable if they accidentally wiped the hard drive. Shortly after we sent it out, we got a call saying that it was on its way. A couple of days after that a 1-800 number called and wanted to know the delivery address again. My mom was weirded out considering they told us it was on its way. So my mom had questioned her and the lady got all sassy. Just weird.
So it had been over a week and we still hadn't received it even though they said it was on its way. We called to ask where it was. They said it been delivered to the front door. I looked outside to see if we had not seen it on the porch, nope. Well, it had been delivered to some town in Washington, not Wisconsin where we live. My mother explained we never have and do not currently live in blah blah town in Washington. Very frustrated. We asked what they're going to do. They say they're going to get back to us in 3 to 5 days. The next day they did call and say they were going to send us a check for the full amount of the laptop. So did someone steal it? Did they send it to the wrong address? Can they try to get it back? They don't seem to have any answers. They said they have no idea why it would have been delivered to Washington because in their records they have our Wisconsin address.

We called customer service and asked for exchange. We were told that the same model was out of stock and we should keep checking in once in a while before the returning date was due.
Since we had put too much time and effort to hook up the TV and connect it to all other sound systems, including internet, Karaoke machine, and so on, we thought we may want to keep it if they can offer us a discount. So the first person we talked to was offering us $100 off, but before we could go any further, the phone got disconnected.
