    We were in our local Wal-Mart today and as we entered the store, we were stopped by a door greeter and was informed that we were not able to bring our orphaned kitten into the store. We then explained that numerous CSM's and managers had seen our kitten and had no problem with her being with us. She is kept zipped up in a pet carrier and is never out of the bag to contaminate any meat or food items. She never makes a mess in her bag nor does she dig and scratch and yowl to where she is a bother and noise complaint. Many cashiers look forward to seeing her and enjoying her progress and we get tips on care from everyone there.

    She was rude in the way she went about it and up until today we have never, ever had a bad shopping experience there. We do all of our shopping there as well. We are also complaining because we see many little old ladies in the motorized carts with little poodles, terriers, chihuahuas and other toy dogs not on leashes or in bags or under control yapping and jumping about in the baskets and no one has ever told them to vacate the store. We feel we were unjustly discriminated against and we are quite upset about it as our kitten is secured and quiet the whole shopping time. And now, after taking her with us for the last 10 weeks, even past this particular door greeter, we are now being targeted unfairly.

    This store also always has birds flying around who could contaminate the foods and yet they are never shagged out of the store. For all we know, the produce gets eaten and/or messed on by these birds who could be carrying God knows what diseases. All we ask is that until she is old enough to be left home alone in a few weeks that we be able to carry with us as long as she is secured within the bag and is never out of it. We can send a pic of her bag so it can be seen how secure it is for her.

    My name is Rhonda ** and I bought two bikes for my kids and a one-year warranty on them both. My son’s bike needed to be repaired because the handle bars were stripped out. Then, Friday, 01-07-2012, my son was riding the same bike and the whole front wheel came off and it threw him over the handle bars and he has all kinds of injuries. Worst one being a possible fractured elbow. He was hurt pretty bad because of this faulty bike. I took the bike and my receipt back to the store number 0368 and told them I wanted to exchange the bike. I did not want it to be repaired and I told them what happened and they looked at me like I needed to repeat it. I need to hear a response--don’t look at me like I’m stupid.

    They exchanged the bike and the whole entire time I was there not one person apologized for anything that happened. That upsets me. My son is in pain right now as I write this three days later and it’s from a faulty product. I put a complaint in on another page and have not received any kind of reply, so I’m done being nice. Now I want someone to apologize to my son and me for not even trying to be nice about the situation and for selling us this bike with missing parts so he can flip over and get hurt. You guys make it right or I will lawyer up because I’m tired of your people in the Parsons Wal-Mart being rude all the time. And I will quit shopping in that store. Just make it right, please.

    I ordered an item from Walmart.com Nov. 30 to be delivered "site-to-store." The latest possible date of delivery was listed as Dec. 16. When that date came, I called the customer service line. They had no idea where the item was and had no tracking number. It was lost in the system. After two more calls, I was advised to cancel that order and order the item to be sent to my son's house, since it wouldn't make it by Christmas. The original item was delivered to the store Dec. 23. It hadn't been cancelled, despite my request.

    I immediately cancelled the second, identical item, both online and by phone to customer service on Dec. 23. They assured me it was cancelled, but it never showed up as cancelled on my account page. Finally, Jan. 4, I received a notice that "delivery had been delayed." I called customer service again and said I wanted the order cancelled. They said they would try, but couldn't guarantee it. Long story short, it was supposedly delivered a couple days later. Now, my son will have to pay to send it back. There is something drastically wrong with WalMart.com's customer service system, and I will never order from them again and urge others to beware as well.

    I was checking out and asked the cashier if I needed to fill out the check or if she was going to run it through. This was a business check I was using. She then took my check to her supervisor and she turned and asked me if the business on the check was mine. I did reply, "Yes, of course." The supervisor then took the check to her supervisor with a copy of my GA license and a business card. She came back and told me they could not accept my business check because it did not have the bank address on it. I responded that none of my business checks have a bank address on them. I also stated that Sam's Club took the same check two times this past week. I was buying business supplies for my office. I know now to stick with local small business stores to do my business.

Most of these were gifts and Walmart.com keeps giving me the runaround telling me they don't need to be activated, but I kept one and called the number on the back of the card and they tell me to go back to where they were purchased to activate!

    I was making last minute Christmas shopping. First was a purchase for Planet of the Apes. The electronics department found me the movie I knew would be hard to get that night. I then made a purchase amounting to more than $200 towards men's Christmas presents. Next stop was groceries for Christmas eve, Christmas morning, Christmas day, right to New Year. I had it all planned, and even though I had a small limit on an already small budget, I put aside $75. A lot of money for my budget. My purchase was beeping through, and the total was $140.75. It was over my budget, however, a quick transfer from savings to checking would leave me $26 left for a snack for my son at McDonald's. I politely told the young man, "I am so sorry, I have the money, I just need to transfer it over. I'll just use the payphone. Maybe you can put me on hold, and get a few of more people through".

    I called the bank at TD Canada Trust. I told the guy I was standing in line short at Wal-Mart, and could he please transfer $75 over to checking, wished him a merry Christmas, hung up, raced back, and said, "all done, sorry for the wait" and the cashier had my receipt, then after that didn't work, he had a tiny bar code that he scanned. I put my card back in, and excited about the shopping being done and about to head home. The cashier said it didn't go through. I thought we pushed savings, or that we made a mistake, so I said "sorry, let me call the bank again, but I'm sure positive it went through". So again, at the payphone, my son standing with groceries at till, I said hello to the banking specialist and said "hello, sorry you just talked to me, I need $75 put into my checking account". He said, it was done, and that you just made your purchase of $140.75 at Wal-Mart. I said, yes.

    Being happy once again, I told my son to come over, which he did, because I wanted him to tell the cashier that it went through. This is when the nightmare started. I'm having a bit of an anxiety attack right now, just typing this. I am so scared I am going to have people mad at me for not letting this go. Having anxiety issues to begin with, is huge part of shopping at the last minute, because I don't have time to think. It's just all rushed. Anyway, there was a lady walking by. Pleasant she was, and I said to her, "excuse me, how is it that there is not enough money to verification, and that groceries are paid for, but the cashier said they're not". I was told to wait right where we began to speak, and I stood there by the wall next to the washrooms. I wanted to move, but I had staff looking and watching us, like were going to run off.

    I understand they don't know me, and maybe people might have tried to leave, but I was not one of them. The lady told a manager by the name of Dana, who came over, and I explained to her what happened, and even called TD banking specialists again. After a while of trying to verify I paid for my merchandise, I was repeatedly told I never paid, and because it was closing time, and everyone was anxious to get home, the manager, whom I can point out, because of a noticeable limp, and who was making a huge impression, even while I was in line before paying, as he kept walking all over, not even in an organized manner, but it was what he was saying that made him stand out. "I need to be out of here, and be home by seven. My family is waiting for me. Let's go. I need to be out of here. Deal with it. Let's get these lines out. I need to be home by seven". Hearing that made me nervous, but I still wasn't under the impression of what was to come.

    I had the bank manager, no longer the specialist. I had the lady employee come over every once in a while and say, we will get this dealt with, sorry for the wait, and if we could just stay put, and she would be right back. And now that I'm writing this, I owe Wal-Mart 2 cans of Pepsi. We were standing there pretty long by then. I was thirsty and hot, as anxiety was kicking in more and more, as people were standing there staring at us, from the employees to manager, to customers, to my son who was telling me not to shake and to relax. When the manager Dana is back, telling me that it looks like it didn't go through, and with the bank manager on the phone still, I said "can you please tell the manager here at Wal-Mart that it went through?

    They keep saying it didn't" It lead me to cry, as the bank manager says, "tell them to call the merchandise something, and they can verify that you paid, and even more was said and done". I was seeing store employees leaving, and the store was empty. The manager Dana standing next to me, and both TD and Dana said, "I am so sorry, and is there something i can do". I just cried, and said "I just want to go home please. Thank you for all your help, but I just want to go home". I couldn't stop the tears, as it was apparent I was leaving my cart full of groceries that I paid for, and although Wal-Mart said "if you want you can pay for the groceries, and you can leave with them, or come back after the holidays, because tomorrow will be crazy, being Boxing day".

    I told them repeatedly. I only had $75 extra, and I only have limited funds. I'm on long term disability. If I had the $140.75, I would have saved myself from this ordeal and embarrassment, and already paid. I would come back and get my refund. I would have already left happy, but I'm leaving knowing I won't even have Christmas groceries. Are you seriously saying I didn't pay? Dana said sorry, and I did snap a bit at her, as she said, "hopefully the bank can sort this out, give you back your money", as she handed me a huge printout of my groceries, and 6 lines highlighted in yellow.

    But wait, it has only gotten worse. I would like to speak to someone about this. I ended up in tears. I felt humiliated, and I was just so emotionally worn out from what happened a couple of days before New years Eve, to the next week leading up to this complaint. I swear Thursday that just passed from this date, that things went from horrible to just anxiety-heightened, and confused. What's even worse is that I actually worked for Wal-Mart years before. I still have not received a refund for $140.75, no apologies were given, and I am sitting here in pain, typing this complaint. I was embarrassed and in pain from the stress. I just want to say forget it, they win, let them have my money. But if I don't stand up and say something, who will?

    I called the Walmart in Truro, Nova Scotia. I asked to be transferred to the seasonal department because my mom had just bought a snow tube for in the snow and my kids really liked it so I thought I would go in and get three for us. I called to make sure there was some as I didn't want to upset my kids if I told them and they didn't. I tried three times and every time the woman answered all she said was seasonal and didn't say a name so I don't know her name. I would just say, "I was just calling to... " and then she would hang up. I got very mad and I tried for the fourth time and they just wouldn't answer in that department.

    This is not very good business. I buy my groceries and everything I need there. I am in every two weeks spending at least $300 as I buy diapers and all the stuff my kids need. This is not the first time I had a bad experience with this Walmart location but I still went back. After today though, I may cut my business with Walmart back since you don't get treated very well by some employees. It was not necessary for that individual to be hanging up on me multiple times.

    Wal-Mart Highway 280, Phenix City, Alabama. My mother is 78 years old and likes to shop at this Wal-Mart but it is hard for me to take her there because they only have two wheelchairs without baskets. She can not ride a scooter and half the time nobody can find these tore up wheelchairs. This is a big problem every time we go here. I keep begging her to shop at K-mart and she insists shopping at Wal-Mart instead. K-mart has plenty of wheelchairs with baskets on them. Please fix this problem. I told the manager it was a hassle to shop here and she said it was fruitless to order more because people kept stealing the wheelchairs.

    For Christmas, I received a bike that was bought through the Black Friday sale. When I put the bike together, I realized the rear axle was bent, the wheels wobbled, and it needed to be trued; brand new bike right out of the box. I went to Walmart in Troy, MI and tried to have it replaced. The assistant manager who was very rude told me the best they could do for me was to take the refund money off the purchase of a $200.00 bike. Apparently, according to her, the bike was just made for Walmart’s Black Friday sale and clearly was printed on the flyer.

    This bike, according to the flyer I read, its value was $199.00 and it did not state it’s a Black Friday item only. Most other stores would have gladly replaced the bike and been happy for the business. Well, I informed her that I would take my money and spend it at another store and would never shop at Walmart again. With refund in hand, I bought a brand new bike for under $100.00 at Meijer. I just want people to know if you buy Black Friday items and they don't work or are broken, they really don't care.

    Every weekend for as long as Walmart has been on 39th St. in Independence, MO I have taken my mother to buy her vitamins. This last weekend after lugging in all the sales ads of the Sunday paper to get price matches for my mother on her vitamins, I was told they did not or would not price match a sale for buy one and get one free. This was frustrating since I not only had to drag in all the paper to prove these were on sale, because my mother is on a fixed income and whatever she can save helps her to pay her medical bills. Then to be told they would not match them. If this is not your policy then don't advertise it. But if it is I would like to know where the cutoff is if there is any.

    Nothing is mentioned in your ads about buying one and getting another free. Since I live in Kearney and my mother lives in Indep she enjoys the trip to your store and I've always liked the one stop shop idea. This was quite upsetting for my mother since she was unable to purchase all she needed there. I was forced to stop at two other stores to get her needs purchased. Everybody needs to be on the same page. This has caused at least two other stores to benefit from the money that was spent to save an elderly woman money. Thanks for nothing!

The manager at Wal-Mart would not help me unless I paid another $30 for each scooter to satisfy the new price tag. Just because the items were on sale at time of purchase doesn’t mean that the items weren’t worth swapping or repairing at no cost.

    I demanded a complete refund for the items and the worthless warranties and told the manager that I would be spending that money at another store. She didn’t even care if the store lost business.

    I purchased an HP desktop computer from Wal-Mart, and was offered a "2 year extended warranty for $49.00." I bought it. Called HP and was told it is not their warranty, but a Wal-mart warranty, not extended and certainly not a warranty. I read the fine-print of Wal-mart warranty;

    1. Good for 2 years from "date of purchase" (the HP computer comes with 1 year warranty, so you are actually buying a 1 year Wal-Mart warrenty) so it is not "extended" and it is not an HP warranty.
    2. The warranty offers "one year of McAfee antivirus software" but the computer comes with Norton antivirus software (redundant, useless warranty).

    3. Warranty covers damage from electrical failures and power surges, again from date of purchase. It is not an extension of the HP warranty covering hardware, software and tech support. Again, redundant and misleading service/sales practice on the part of Wal-mart. I'm sure there are other misleading claims, but I'm not taking the time to read the fine print because I broke my magnifying glass.

    I have written to New Product Care Plan (WalMart) PO BOX 1818 Sterling VA 20167 (as directed in the fine print of the warranty) requesting a refund. It's not even Wal-Mart... It's a contractor. I have not seen the refund yet. In my opinion these worthless "2 year extended warranties" being pushed by Wal-Mart sales people falls under the category of "Bait and Switch."

    A year ago, I notified Walmart that they had removed the benches from the aisles of Store #5296 Barboursville, WV and placed them all in front of the rest rooms. My wife was being treated for cancer and needed to rest often. You notified the store manager to put the benches back and they complied. Since then, they have been gradually removing them and now they are none. We are both in our late 70's and get tired and need to stop and rest. I talked to some of the dept. managers and they told me that it came from the manager. We love Walmart because it is very close to Milton where we live. I hope the manager isn't trying to be difficult and I am not trying to be a troublemaker. Thanks for listening.

    On December 24 2011 ( Christmas Eve), at 7:40 PM , I was prohibited from entering the store by a very rude employee, wearing a managers name tag, with the name of Kimberly on it. Kimberly refused to give me her last name. She obviously made the decision to close the store down 20 minutes prior to the advertised closing time. I informed Kimberly that I had driven a very long way, and that my business there was very important, and I assured her I would be out within the 20 minutes remaining time on the advertised closing time of 8:00 PM. This was not sufficient for Kimberly. She proceeded with very disrespectful comments, and continued to deny me entrance. I will be furthering my complaint with the upper management and the Better Business Bureau.

    The Consequences are very obvious. From a customer standpoint, I should not have been denied entry prior to the advertised closing time, not to mention the rude manner in which I was spoken to. From a business standpoint, one can only imagine how much revenue was lost by one person making the poor decision to close the store 20 minutes earlier than the advertised time.

    In the beginning of November at the East Norriton, PA Walmart, I chose and paid for a bike for my 10 yr. old son, a black and blue mongoose. I also opted to have it assembled. I was told that it would be ready the following week on Tuesday or Wednesday and I would receive a call. By Friday, no call came so I inquired. I got a runaround by at least 5 different people. Finally, I was told by someone in electronics it would be done by Saturday and to come pick it up. So, Saturday, I came in to pick up the bike and they came out with a totally different bike (green and silver) and said it was mine even though someone else's name was on it.

    They said my blue and black bike was nowhere to be found, but I could have the bike they brought out for an additional 10% discount. At that point, I just took the bike so I would have one for my son. I took the bike and put it away for Christmas only to find that when my son went to ride it, there were no back brakes and he could not stop going down our street! Thank goodness he had a helmet on or he would have been really hurt! I couldn't believe that they did not hook up the back brakes! It's very upsetting to say the least! The bike is scratched up, my son hurt his arm and he's a bit afraid to ride it now even though I had someone else hook up the brakes. If the bikes are not going to be assembled properly, they should not offer the service!

    I ordered a custom made picture calendar from Walmart.com's photo center on December 6th, plenty of time for it to be delivered by Christmas. Well past the expected delivery date, I called customer service, and they said the order had been lost. They refunded my money, and reordered the calendar again (charging me full price again). When the reordered calendar arrived (after Christmas), it was haphazardly put together (the months were not even in the right order). I called customer service back, and they were very rude. I explained that I had invested a lot of time in creating this product, and wanted at least a significant discount on another reorder (thinking that maybe three would be a charm).

    The rep could not understand my request, and kept saying that they can discount a refund. No **! That is not what I was asking. He could barely speak proper English, and took his lack of understanding out on me. Finally, he said that if he received something he didn't want, he'd take it back for a refund. I reiterated the fact that I had already done that, and was asking for a discount on a reorder. Ultimately, he just said he couldn't help me and hung up. I then went to the online chat with customer service, and the girl there was even worse. Wow, do yourself a favor and stay away from Wal-Mart. Target is a way better option.

    I voted one star only because 0 isn't an option. This store's management has a total disregard for their employees and the needs thereof. Due to babysitting needs, I can only work certain hours but when I try to do an availability change, it is self admittedly thrown away. They say it's up to the needs of the customers, yet though I work as a cake decorator. The bakery associates work only until 5 or 6pm and I am stuck until 9 or 10 with nothing to do, yet expected to fill the needs of customers with no training of how to do such (hot bread is the first thing coming to mind).

    Although we are expected to fill our department with 4 full time and 1 part time employee, we have 2 and 1. I am denied personal and vacation days due to 'no coverage,' but the other employees take whenever they want and are approved. The managers don't like me and therefore choose me to abuse constantly. This is not the only Walmart to do this. Every Walmart I've worked for or had friends working for has been the same. Sam *** cared about his employees but corporate only cares about where their next dollar comes from. We're forced to work holidays, and if we get injured, no matter if it was preventable by management or not, we're terrified to report it because we get coached and terminated.

    I don't have insurance because to get even basic care, I have to give up half my paycheck. This is disgusting! I'm a single parent and can't even pay my rent unless I want my son to go hungry, all because corporate 'cant afford' to give us hours, even the full timers barely make 35.

    My brother and his wife gave me two goldfish from the Walmart Supercenter here in Klamath Falls, Oregon for Christmas. I told them I wanted to pick up a few more fish from the store to add more color and quality. We got the new ones home and did the proper change. The next day, the freshly made water with conditioner put in started to look murky. Then my bro's wife and I looked at the fish and the black one with bulgy eyes was starting to act strange, he started to lie down in the left hand corner of the tank in the front.

    The following day, he was still lying down in that same spot. Since I am a newbie at owning fish, I thought he was just sleeping. The very following day, the black one had died. I examined the body and the only thing wrong with it was a discoloration on its underbelly. Then I threw the body away and began to keep a close watch on the remaining fish. The big, white goldfish, one of the ones my brother and his wife got me, began to act the same way, only it began to show a scale hanging above its nose. The golden colored goldfish took a deep breath and then swam around the tank. I kept looking in frequently to see what could be causing them to act so strangely.

    I had been using medicine tablets to get rid of any parasites or diseases they may have. The following evening, the water was extremely murky and the big, white one had died. I took the dead fish and put it into a plastic zip-lock to examine the body closely, and it seemed to be bleeding. Even though the sucker fish seems fine, the other fish were acting wiggy. The gold one was twitching and the little, spotted one was trying to hide, but failed. So then I went online and searched up "Emergency Care for Fish symptoms" and got a few tips.

    I changed 25% of the water with conditioning liquid, but it does not make sense to have to change water so quickly. My brother and his wife had the two big goldfish for 5 days okay before they gave them to me and one has died! So I thought that maybe it was my fault. So I followed another tip to add kosher salt to the water, 1/2 of recommended for freshwater tank, and they seem to be looking up. However, I have been using the medication since Day 2 because of the black one acting so strangely.

    However, the big, white/clear one should not have died so quickly after the black one has died. I am worried more will die before I can find a proper store to buy some decent fish from. I may pay more to get different fish, but at least they will have been treated much better. It feels like one of the fish I had picked up from the Supercenter had brought home a virus or parasite.

    I was in line for approximately 2 hours waiting for the Kodak camera that our Helena Wal-Mart had on sale for $49.99 at midnight on November 25th. At 5 minutes to midnight, John-Wal-Mart’s manager decided that he wanted to move the display out into the open area of the store. I was 5th in line for this item and had been standing around waiting since around 10pm. As soon as he moved the display, several people who were just walking up to get in line were now at the front and everyone who was in the front of the line was now in back. This made everyone in line very upset, even me, because the display didn't need to be moved.

    Midnight struck and people went crazy. Everyone was pushing and shoving and it turned into a free-frawl. I bent down and reached through the people and got a camera. As I was getting up and trying to step out of the madness, I was pushed down to the ground and then trampled. I hit my back and my hips. It hurt really badly. When I was finally able to get up, I had pain that was moving from my lower back to my neck. My husband went and addressed this with a Wal-Mart manager, Brian, since he had witnessed the entire madness that just happened. Brian met up with me since I was in the front of the store and took my statement. He told me that if I needed to go to the doctor, Wal-Mart would take care of all the bills because this shouldn't have happened.

    I left that evening and ended up going to the ER because my back was hurting so bad and I couldn't get comfortable. The ER checked me out and told me that I didn't have any major problems, but that I pulled the muscles in my back and bruised my hip bones pretty good. The doctor gave me muscle relaxers, a pain medication, and a note to not go to work for 2 days and just rest. My husband went and talked to a manager later on November 25th about how I ended up in the ER and wanted to know how to move forward. He was informed that we needed to contact Claims Management in order to get the bills paid.

    We both called several times to file a claim with Debbie **. She called me once and left a message. Then, she sent me a letter that said she was going to close my case out because she hadn't heard from us. I called and complained that evening on her voicemail that I expected a phone call because she has never tried other than once to contact me. My husband finally got into touch with her and she said she needed my statement about the incident to make a final decision. I called her later the next day when I had a moment and gave her my statement. During the phone call, she told me that "I took the risk of going into Wal-Mart on Black Friday but she would review the tapes and make a decision".

    I couldn't believe this! You mean to tell me that I took risk of being injured by going into a store that should have prevented this from happening and could have if they hadn't moved the display 5 minutes before opening time. I waited patiently for Debbie to get back in touch with me. When she did, she left a voicemail that a decision had been made about my claim. My husband called about the status and was informed that again, I took the risk and there wasn't anything that they had done wrong in the situation. Now I have a $900 medical bill that Wal-Mart won't cover because they say I took the risk by shopping there. I just can't believe this happened and Wal-Mart won't take any responsibility.

Another mistake from shopping at Wal-Mart!

I got home late last night and checked my email and noticed I have been given a $10 credit for this item with no explanation for the credit. This peaked my suspicion so I opened the box. The entire fire bowl is: 1) missing huge chunks of black paint with exposed metal; 2) has a dent larger than a grapefruit; 3) is beginning to rust around the rim.

    Do you guys have a freaking clue? This is supposed to be a Christmas present! I cannot give a rusted, dented, piece of ** as a present! I do not want a $10 credit, I wanted a new, undamaged fire pit! I would have never left your store with this second hand junk had I known I was buying damaged goods. I have now made two trips to your store which has cost me time and money. Now, I will have to scramble at the last minute to find my son a Christmas present because this is not acceptable! I will have to waste more of my time and money returning this to Wal-Mart. This will be the third trip! I promise you whatever Christmas present I can find at the last minute will not be purchased from you!

    In your effort to grab up every dollar you can into your greedy Wal-Mart world, you forgot about simple things like honesty, integrity and disclosure. How many of you are going to give your family members dented, rusted and damaged gifts for Christmas? How many other unsuspecting customers are unknowingly picking up broken gifts at your "convenient" site to store pick-up? What a joke. I am posting this complaint on multiple consumer complaint boards so hopefully I can prevent someone else from falling prey to your bait and switch trickery. I have taken multiple pictures of the "new" fire pit which I am uploading on several consumer advocacy sites as well .

    What a joke. I want everyone to see what Christmas means to Wal-Mart. I would like to speak with a manager today re: this dishonest transaction. I want to know what rationale was made for this transaction and who though it would be okay to pass off a rusted piece of junk off to an unsuspecting customer for the holidays. Do not send me back a form letter unless your intention is to further fuel the fire.

    I called this morning, 12/21/11, at 10:00 am to ask if there was a Compaq Black 15.6 " Presario Laptop CQ57-229WM in stock. I explained that I would only purchase the laptop if it was in stock. Kathy, in electronics, told me yes, there was one. I asked her if I could pay over the phone and she said no but to pay online and she would hold it for me under the counter until I came out of work today. I placed the order (order #8228013-175939) and put myself & Roberto ** as the pick up person. Roberto went to the store at 3:00 pm today and was told the computer they were holding was for another person and that Kathy did not say she would hold it. Then Roberto was told while I was on the phone with him that the order was canceled because of the debit card. The card was not declined but they said that so that there was an excuse as to why the laptop was not available. I am very upset that our time was wasted and we were lied to by this employee. So now what? I do not have the item I purchased and this employee gets away with fraud. I shop at Walmart all the time and I am disappointed that the store manger would condone employees scheming on patrons. It is us patrons that keep the store running so that these employees can get paid!

    I went into the Wal-Mart on West Kellogg in Wichita, Kansas, with a holiday flier advertising $299 for a Kinect, including a $100 gift card. The electronics associate said they were out. I asked for a rain check, since the flier clearly stated in the ridiculously small print, that rain checks were given. I was told by 6 different associates in that store that they never give rain checks, despite what was printed. A package finally arrived with one of the Kinects, which she said were locked in the manager's office. So while I received the item, I believe I would not have, if I hadn't pushed the issue, and spent 45 minutes waiting for the 4th person I asked to see a manager.

    My problem is, why don't the story from the associates, and the information on the flier match? Why was it so difficult to get a manager to come talk with me? Why were the hottest sale items locked in an office, rather than in the display case? Why was I told they could not use the computer to check the stock, and then the manager used the computer to check the stock? I believe on items that are extremely competitively priced, the store makes it as difficult as possible, to purchase the item.

    I shop at the Walmart constantly. Tonight, I went in for shampoo and I accidentally got conditioner. I realized once I got home and ran back. All I needed was an even exchange for something that was less than ten dollars. The lady said that they could not do anything since the customer service had closed. She said it would mess up the inventory. I work in retail even if we had a policy like that. For something that small, I would have accommodated the customer. I feel like the customers don't even matter to them anymore. They would rather have correct inventory than a happy customer that could potentially give them thousands of dollars.

    I was unfairly let go, they kept my personal hours and sick pay which totals over 400 hours. They let me go since I was a department manager and if my people messed up they said it was my responsibility. I went from an excellent evaluation to a verbal to d-day to termination in 19 days. We got a new assistant manager and zone manager. They harassed us everyday. Our assistant had thrown stuff up on the counter and bad mouthed us. He had me physically sick for solid week to the point I was throwing up. He told me I was only one who knew how to do lot of stuff, the rest did not have enough sense. I was told the ones they were going to let go, but they are not because they are training new workers. He has coached some to d-day point.

    My zone manager has followed me and my spouse around and when I complained to home office they said nothing. They said I served out of date salad when I was not working. It's kind of hard to do if you are not there, but I was responsible as it was my area. He told me I needed to learn to be a horses rear, but used the ugly word and be just like him. They told my people that the zone manager was going to be doing my job when I was not fired yet. They did not realize I had people that respected me enough to fill me in.

    Today, I bought $160.00 in groceries to include to six packs of the 10 oz Dr. Peppers. When I got to the check out, I noticed that one bottle was missing from one of the six packs. Because these were the last two six packs, I asked if they could deduct the price of the bottle that was missing. The checker (who wasn't the most friendly girl, probably because of the busy days going on right now), said "let me ask again, instead of assuming, do you want the Dr. Peppers even if you have to pay full price?" I said, "no". She then said, "I have to address the situation with my sacks, since I am about out. I'll be back in a minute". she then came back, and put sacks on the racks, and began checking my groceries.

    When she got to my Dr. Peppers, she said, "the manager said we can't sell these for a lesser price, do you still want them?" I said, "no, that would be stupid to pay full price for only five, rather than six". When I got to my car, I called Mike **, the manager, and told him what happened, and that I couldn't believe they would inconvenience a customer in that manner, since I really needed more than the 1 six pack. He said it was because of broken packs. They can sell them back to the vendor, and get full credit, but that really they should have sold them to me at a discount, of which I replied, it's too late now, and that I was very disappointed, because I spend a lot of money at Wal-Mart, to be treated that way, and I wasn't sure if the girl really asked, or just didn't want to mess with me. He said that she really was not able to sell them to me that way.

    Anyway, the point of this, is to say that two weeks ago, I accidentally picked up a 6 pack that only had 5 in it, and had to walk all the way back to the back, to get a full 6 pack, and I really feel this same one was just shoved to the back, and I happened to have ended up with it again, but since I really wanted more, and it was the last one, I was willing to have them deduct the price of one, which would have been 66.2 cents from the $3.98 that the total pack cost. I think Wal-Mart still would have made more money off me, by selling them to me for $3.35, than they would, getting a full refund from the vendor for a 6 pack. Instead, now I am a very unhappy customer who has a new New Year's resolution, to give the smaller grocery chains, Family Dollar and Dollar General my business. I may have to spend a few dollars more sometimes, but I will feel better knowing that I get more individual, and caring service at the smaller places.

    My husband and I used to own a convenience store and we would never have said "we can't sell you this, because we would lose 66.2 cents, but not really, because of the mark up the store sells it for. It's too bad that Wal-Mart has gotten so big, they have forgotten who got them there. We, the people, and our business got them to where they are. Thank you for reading my complaint, even though it may seem minor to you, it's the point I want to get across.

Thank you Wal-Mart for ruining Christmas to two wonderful daughters that well deserve a good Christmas this year due to the fact that both parents are unemployed and I am disabled with a spinal cord disease. If the delivery date changes to a later date because it's going to Hawaii, then this should be the responsibility of the company, not the consumer, to inform the consumer especially for Christmas time. Wal-Mart has to coordinate with FedEx Smartpost and get this delivery dates squared away before promising the consumer the estimated delivery date.

We made several purchases that week, whereas it's the holidays and the only purchases still 'pending' on our Green Dot account summary is Walmart for the rod and the initial lamp. We aren't exactly the wealthiest of people. The money we spent was calculated within a strict budget, so we have pretty much been flat broke for almost 2 weeks now. If the items weren't in stock, why was it posted as available?

    Also, why did they charge us without first seeing if the item was in stock? And last, why haven't we seen our money in technically 1 week and 4 days? Judging from the many similar complaints here, I can only assume that it is intentional. Almost like Walmart is borrowing money from us without our permission.

I understand that is a big error, and I understand the store not wanting to honor the price but I feel that they could have offered me something better than 20%.

    I ordered a play kitchen for my daughter on 11/25/2011 from Walmart.com to be shipped site to store. I would pick up the item at a Walmart store next door to where I worked. After getting all the emails confirming the order and that the order had shipped and billed to my checking account, I got an e-mail on 12/6 saying the item was lost or damaged and they were canceling the order and refunding my money (within 5 business days). I called the next morning to Walmart.com because I still wanted the item and the item was still in stock online and in many stores in the area. I spoke to many representatives and supervisors and managers, they all said the same thing.

    No apologies for the mistake and the only thing I could do was to reorder the item online that was now $15.00 more. They would honor the original price, but I would have to have a hold for the full amount against my checking account until they could process a credit for the difference. So, I would have the original debit and the new debit against my account. This was not a credit card but a checking account. After letting them know that this was not acceptable, because I didn't want that much held from my checking account, they said sorry that's all they could do.

    I did give alternatives that were acceptable to me, such as holding one in a store a half an hour from me and I would pick it up when the credit went through my account. They said no, that was not in their policy. They could not hold an item and they wouldn't be able to honor the price that I originally paid if I bought it at the store.

    I spoke to many supervisors and managers, such as Lana, No. **; Jason; Tiffany No. **; Edward (who told me that he couldn't even talk to me about the order because my husband’s name, same last name and address as myself, was on the debit card used for the order, funny he was the only one that said that); Milton, No. **, who said that he did not have a boss when I asked to speak to someone higher, he was the highest. I thought it was Mike Duke that is the CEO, not Milton Duke.

    Also, Jim in South Florida. Also, Siedah and Jalisa who said they could not give out their ID nos. You would think that they would want to help and figure out a way to make it right since it was their mistake. I could not find one person who had a "can do" attitude or anyone willing to help. After working in retail for a major retailer like Walmart for 14 years as a Store Manager, I know that there are exceptions to every policy and managers are given the authority to make decisions to satisfy customers, especially when the store makes the error.

    I will not ever shop at a Walmart store or at Walmart.com again in fear that if they make a mistake, they won't fix it.

I paid with Paypal and one of the managers had the nerve to tell me that I would get a refund within 24-48 hours. Liar! It takes 7-10 days for a refund. I eventually had to order the scooter off of Ebay.

    Well, my grandmother passed away yesterday and I called the call in number like you have to and all that. Then two hours later, I called my assistant to let her know what happened. This is what I said to her, “I’m calling in for bereavement.” She said, “Well, for what?” I said, “What do you mean?” She asked what happened in the rudest tone and way you could tell she was like thinking ** the whole time. She wanted names, place, dates and was pretty much saying that she didn't believe me. So I will probably get fired now or a D-day. All they do is lie off their **. I've had my assistant tell me she will always believe her supervisor over me and that I don’t have a chance because everything I do is a lie and I was wrong. Most likely, I won't have a job in a few days.

    We ordered a paper floor lamp from Walmart.com. Initially we wanted two of the floor lamps, but only one was available. I even checked every single Walmart store in the city just to see if there was another one in stock, but alas there wasn't. So we settled on the one lamp. Later on, we decided to purchase a curtain rod, so we placed another order at Walmart.com that same night. Both were 'immediate store pickup', and we were expecting to pick them up after work the next day. Two hours after we placed our orders, they sent us an e-mail and text letting us know both orders were cancelled due to neither of them being in stock, and suggesting we purchase something else. So we ended up buying a different style lamp, and purchasing the curtain rod elsewhere, with money we wanted to save for the week, assuming we would get our money back and use that instead.

    I was informed via email that my Site-to-Store order was available for pickup. I went to the Beavercreek store on Dec. 5. They could not find it and said the Wal-Mart logistics system is a mess and it probably was not there, and that I should come back in a few days. I waited for 45 minutes for them to look for it. I returned on Dec. 8 and they still could not find it. They told me that there was nothing they could do but cancel the item. I asked if I could cancel the entire order. They stated that only the item that was not there. There would be a fee to cancel the entire order. I told them that I would not accept receipt of any part of the order until the missing item was available and asked if they could call me when it was available. They agreed.

    After another 1 hour and 15 minutes of waiting for them to find it, I left with the comment from the cashier that it was likely placed on the floor and sold. Wal-Mart of Beavercreek called me on Dec. 9 and told me that the entire order was there and ready for pickup. So, my wife went to the store to pick it up. Guess what? The microwave cart was still not ready to be picked up and they had no idea where it was at. This took another hour. We left with no resolution. And I have no idea what to do now, because I was given no advice other than to cancel the order. Well, that is not acceptable.

    I preordered SWTOR collectors edition in early October. They sent my preorder code just fine and everything was dandy. I emailed three times asking if quantity was going to be an issue, and ensuring that even though it said "available to be preordered," I wanted reassurance that they would not sell product that they knew they would not have on hand, to which they flat out ignored. However, since I got my code via mail I figured all was ok. Nope!

    I then got an email early December (that’s two ** months later) stating to “ignore my account page showing the item is cancelled” and that they were having technical difficulties. I replied seeking reassurance, and they emailed me back stating that I would, in fact, receive the item; then PayPal emailed me stating that I was going to get a refund. Then I emailed them asking what was going on. They didn't ignore me this time and told me to ignore it, I was getting my item. Then the refund actually processed and again they told me via email that my order was not cancelled; but when I called them, sure enough, the phone rep confirmed that the order had been cancelled.

    Lies, dishonesty, and the fact that I could have purchased this limited edition item from a different retailer—but due to their lies and greed (trying to sell more than they think they are going to get or have in stock) I end up getting **. Needless to say my son will be disappointed Christmas time—thanks walmart.com for making my Christmas totally stressful and disappointing. First time customer (well, almost) and definitely the last purchase I will ever make there. Money talks. I'm taking my money elsewhere and would advise any of you reading this review to do the same and save yourself the amount of time/effort/trouble that I have gone through.

    Note: I have not deleted any of the email correspondence. I will most likely be unable to obtain a limited edition item due to their ineptitude and their deceit.

    I ordered a Canon camera "bundle" that clearly indicated I was to receive a 75-300 mm zoom lens with the bundle. I have the screenshot of the website listing the item, not once, but twice within the description. I also have the FedEx shipping receipt indicating that the item was a part of the bundle. I did not receive the item. This occurred in September, and now, after multiple calls to Walmart.com customer service, several email complaints, and a letter of complaint with the screenshots indicating inclusion of the lens in the bundled deal both to customer service and the corporate office, I have been lied to, ignored, promised the lens, and sympathized with.

    I have been continually told that there is nothing customer service can do other than provide me with an offer of $50 for a lens that would cost $189.95 if I went to the Wal-Mart store to purchase it. When I began this complaint, the lens was in stock. It is now out of stock. I have been told to call the 1800 Walmart number to register a complaint. However, there is no selection for making a complaint.I would like Wal-Mart to either provide me with the lens, Canon EF 75-300 mm f/4-5.6 III USM telephoto zoom lens 6472A002AA as listed on my original order page and on my FedEx package list or send me a check for $189.95 plus tax so I can purchase the missing lens elsewhere.

    I have sent a letter to the CEO of Wal-Mart as well as a letter of complaint. Both have been ignored, as have been the numerous reports of this complaint to customer service. I am filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau right after I finish this complaint. If I do not receive written confirmation of a resolution underway from Wal-Mart to rectifying this issue. I will be contacting any other consumer bureau handling corporate ethics issues, as well as contacting my attorney to file suit. In addition, I am, and will continue to contact Walmart.com customer service regularly, express my frustration, explain my situation, elicit further agreement from customer service agents stating on recording that I have a legitimate complaint, and make it a point to cost Walmart.com considerable more per month than it would have cost them to send the absent lens when it was available earlier during communication of this issue.

    I will be setting up a Facebook page, and a Twitter account specifically to expose the lack of ethical management of customers with legitimate complaints. I have currently called customer service approximately 20 times over the past 3 months, have proven over and over that the lens was, in fact, included on the website, and in the FedEx shipping order, but was not provided and is owed to me. At approximately $15 a call to customer service for 20 calls, I have cost Wal-Mart approximately $300 for their lack of ethics in this matter and will continue to do so until this is resolved to my satisfaction.

    On November 27, 2011 I ordered an item from Walmart.com. The delivery they projected was between 11/30 and 12/6. On 12/8, after trying to contact customer service via email, I called the 800 number. I reached an operator named Bridgette. She listened to my complaint, consulted her supervisor, then told me that they put in a reorder with a rush delivery, and they would give me a $15 credit on my next order. The next day, I placed 2 more orders through Walmart.com. After placing the order, I called the 800 number again, as I was instructed by Bridgette to do, and explained to them about the credit.

    The associate that I reached said okay, she would be right back, she had to confirm with her supervisor. After waiting a while, I was told that they couldn't give me the $15 on the one item because it only totaled $16.95. They could only give me $10. When I explained that I had another order that totaled $119, she told me to hold again. Then she comes back on and says that the supervisor said she can only do $10 because that's policy. I asked to speak to the supervisor. After a long wait, the supervisor, Kimberly, gets on the phone. She proceeds to tell me that it isn't policy to give $15. She can only give me $10. I asked to speak to her supervisor and was told there was no one higher than her there. She would only give me $10 off my purchase because she wouldn't jeopardize her job. She was only following policy.

    I spent over an hour on the phone with these people and they didn't seem to care about the customer. If you promise a customer a certain amount off, then you should follow through. I contacted the main Wal-Mart customer complaint line. They took all the information and were following up. They said that they don't understand why I wasn't honored the amount they had told me, especially since it is documented on my account. They said it will take a few days. We shall see.

    I went to Van Buren, AR Super Walmart for the Black Friday event. They had a fairly good stock of sale items! I was after the Xbox 360 and the Xbox 360 live cards. The Xbox 360 live cards were on sale at Walmart for $12.00, however, Best Buy had them on sale for less at $7.99. So I picked up enough for two years! Finally, I made it to the end of the checkout. I was told a CSM would have to override since I had so many. I waited and waited for the CSM, only walking around and not helping anyone. After 10 minutes, I got her attention. She came over then sent a manager over. The manager told me to go to service desk and they could help me there! So she canceled my entire sale and sent me to the service desk. I got there the same manager and said, "sorry, there is nothing we can do for you. We can not price comp those because it is crashing our system. So you will need to pay our price and call a manager in the morning!".

    So then I had to recheck all my items, overpay Walmart price even though the signs all around me in the store say "if you find it cheaper, we will give you a gift card for the difference"! So I called the next morning, asked for the same lady. She told me, "sorry, everyone is gone. You will have to call again on Monday"! I just showed up, went to the service desk and asked again! They don't know anything so they called the manager. She said the department manager knows about it and to call her! They called her. She said, "make the lady come back here and I will explain"! So yet again, I walked back to her to find that she is putting me in line again to wait to talk to her. I left because you know what she is going to say? "Wait in line again for me just tell you sorry, I can't help you!". I mean really? Like she is going to give me a rebate at the electronic counter! So come on Walmart, where's the price comp? Where is the gift card if you find it for less? You guys are losing your touch and I am an unsatisfied customer!

    Check your receipts before leaving any cashier's station! It happened at WalMart Supercenter Store Number **** at **** a month ago. I bought a bunch of stuff over $150 and I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of $40. I told her that I didn't request a cash-back and to delete it. She said that I'd have to take the $40 because she couldn't delete it. I told her to call a supervisor. The supervisor came and said I'd have to take it! I said no because taking the $40 would be a cash advance against my Discover and I wasn't paying interest on a cash advance! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order. So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order and re-scan everything!

    The second time I looked at the electronic pad before I signed and a cash-back of $20 popped up. At that point, I told the cashier and she deleted it. The total came out right. The cashier agreed that the electronic pad must be defective. Yeah, right! Obviously, the cashier knew the electronic pad wasn't defective because she never offered me the $40 at the beginning. Can you imagine how many people went through before me? And at the end of her shift, how much money she pocketed? Just to alert everyone, my co-worker went to Milford, DE WalMart last week. She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and didn't give her a receipt.

    She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her. My co-worker didn't look at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for $20 cash back. She did not ask for cash back! My co-worker called WalMart who investigated but could not see the cashier pocketed the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her this is a new scam. The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person in line.

    Please, please, please! Check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards! This is not limited to WalMart although they are the largest retailer so they have the most incidents. I am adding to this. My husband and I were in WalMart in North Salisbury and paying with a credit card. When my husband went to sign the credit card signer, he just happened to notice there was a $20 cash back added. He told the cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has been messing up and she canceled it. We didn't think anything of it until we read this email. I wonder how many seniors have been or will be stung by this one? This scam can be done anywhere, at any retail or wholesale location! Before leaving the cashier's station! Check your receipt before leaving the stand. I've seen people do just that. Now I'll start! Pass this on to your friends, kids, loved ones.

    Store # 2954 650 Main Ave. Norwalk, CT. On 12/01/11, I purchased at Waltmart a pair of pants which clearly displayed with a sale price of $10.96 on the shelf. After I purchased the pants, I checked my receipt and saw that I was charged $12.96 plus tax. I went right to the customer service desk and I asked "Johnny" to accompany me and to verify my complaint that the price on the shelf was indeed $10.95. We went to where I selected the pants and we both saw that the entire shelf was indeed marked $10.95. Both "Johnny" and I agreed that the price was $10.95. We went back to the customer service area where "Johnny" informed the assistant manager "George."

    The posted sign directly outside the store clearly states that if the merchandise "commodity" is mispriced your money will be refunded in full. "George" said he spoke to the manager and was told thatt hey would not honor a full refund but would give me the difference. I refused but went back to Walmart two (2) days later and found that they did not change the pricing on the shelf but rather continued to collect what amounts to a 20% increase over the price listed on the shelf. Meanwhile, shopper that don't check there receipts are paying that surcharge and Walmart is profiting from it. That explains why after I complaint they didn't even bother to change the price.

On December 2nd, 2011, the front tire blew out because the valve was torn and it turned out to be defective. Stephen went back to Walmart to exchange it to the black and yellow Mongoose mountain bike on December 5th, 2011. After riding the bike soon after purchasing it, the left side of the gears malfunctioned and the front brake stopped working. To top it off, while riding the bike, Stephen was on his way to return the bike back to Walmart when suddenly the left pedal completely broke off, which caused Stephen to fall off the bike and land in the middle of the road onto on-going traffic, nearly almost getting hit by an SUV.

    After much shock, he managed to walk the rest of the way limping and arriving back to Walmart all distraught, extremely upset, and frantic with symptoms of anxiety, emotional distress, and has now developed a phobia of riding a bike again. Stephen spoke to the assistant manager of Walmart and described what just happened. The Assistant manager initially offered to replace the bicycle free of charge plus a refund. Yet Stephen did not want another bike from Walmart in fear of another bicycle malfunction happening again. Then the assistant manager offered a $50 gift card. Stephen sat down, still in shock over the fact that he may have got run over and hit by a car that night. Yet the Assistant manager went ahead and told Customer Service to give Stephen a refund, plus a $50 Gift card, without asking Stephen his consent about the gift card.

    Stephen and Michelle will meet with the Marketing Manager of Walmart first thing in the morning and complain about their defective bicycles. In order to prevent Stephen's situation from happening to someone else, with potential more serious injuries, this type of bicycle, or any bicycle for that matter, should be inspected properly and thoroughly before it is displayed and sold on the merchandise floor. Both Walmart and the manufacturer should be liable.

    When you ask an associate in their appropriate department, they are clueless. I have even heard an associate claiming that theynever sold a particular product ever to a customer who told them, I have bought this product here for years.

    Some things they have been out of stock or too lazy to check on are Diapers, Pull Ups, Baby Wipes, Kleenex, Toilet Paper, etc.

    Before the summer of 2011 (April/May time period) we were going to purchase a $250 above ground pool. We went and they were out of stock and then they told us that they would not be getting anymore in stock and then they said we would not be able to order through them. They told us this in person and then over the phone.

    We called the Lake City Walmart and we were able to order the pool and we decided to have it Site to Store there instead of Live Oak's Walmart. When we told them what the staff at the Live Oak store said to us in person and over the phone they said that they were being lazy and just did not want to do their job.

    Of course a week later the Live Oak Walmart had the pool in stock even though we were told that they would not be getting any more in stock that year.

    When we have been at the Perry FL Walmart we mentioned how we go this way when we can because the Live Oak Walmart is severely lacking, a cashier said she has heard that from quite a few customers.

    Oh, and I still remember when they were out of Dramamine for a number of weeks and the associate in that area told me that Dramamine was no longer being made. Imagine my surprise when I was at some other Walmart and saw it in stock. I questioned the associate and she was like what idiot told you that it was no longer being made.

Our children or other family members or friends could not stand in line with us, and if we left the line, we would forfeit and not be able to purchase the laptop. I got in the computer line at 10:00 and needed to stand there for two hours! Without the children being able to stand there?

    This has got to be the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. And Heather walked up and down the line like a prison guard verifying no one would come in the line or leave. Whoever heard of such absurd rules? The whole reason for having the computers (and other limited quantity sale items) is to "pull" people into your store. What were we to do with our children if they can't stand in line with us? Did Walmart consider the children being kidnapped in a frenzied store during the Black Friday sale since they couldn't stand in line with their parents? What about someone needing to use the facilities? If you needed to, you’ll lose your place in line? How ridiculous!

    Wal-Mart killed my dog.

    I went to that store and bought Hartz flea drops for my dog. It killed him in two days. When I talked to the manager, Wal-Mart knew it was killing pets. There are no warning signs any where about this product. Near or on the product. The vet bills total around $800. Please help: I can’t get no where with Wal-Mart. Hartz killed over 33,000 pets a year according to the EPA. Wal-Mart is just as responsible as Hartz. Wal-Mart knew it was bad but did not say anything to the consumer. No 100% guarantee.

    I went into Wal-Mart, as I usually do, this time to get a money order. I decided to do some shopping while I was there. When I arrived at the checkout I put my items on the counter along with some coupons for those items. I waited while the cashier rang my items and called another employee named Amanda to look at my coupons. One of the coupons had a torn corner, so Amanda said she would not accept it. I gave them the missing corner and they accepted the coupon. Amanda then rejected three more coupons. She said they were the wrong items for the coupons. I stated that they were the right items and she checked the bag and realized I was right, but she would not accept one.

    I asked to speak to a manager and waited. Anthony approached Amanda and stated that he was busy and had a phone call. He turned to me and said they will not accept the coupon and walked away. I asked Amanda again to speak to someone of authority; she took my coupon and walked away. So I waited. She returned and said her manager Brittney is busy and is not coming out. Brittney told her not to accept the coupon as it was unreadable, which was not. I told her again to get someone of authority she glared at me and started talking to fellow staff on the radio. That’s when Anthony approached and made a comment about me using coupons and walked away. I asked the cashier to please scan my coupons so I can pay for my things. She did and I went to get my money order. I was disrespected, embarrassed and treated as if I was a nuisance and a burden to the store and its employees for using coupons. I never received and apology or thank you. I will not be shopping at Wal-Mart in the future.

    Hi, my name is Felicia ***. I wanted to order Supernatural: TheComplete Fifth season. The 1st time I visited Walmart.com cyber week. They, (Walmart) had it priced at approximately $40.00 so I didn't purchase it. The next day when I logged onto Walmart Cyber week sale, in the "previously viewed" area, they had it priced for $10 so I added it to my shopping cart but I didn't check out. I went back to Walmart site to check out today, 12-2-11, and the price was still listed as $10; however, as I started to check out the priced went from $10 to $37.

    So I called the customer service direct line 1-800-xxx-xxxx. I spoke with Michelle and she stated that she could not allow me to get the DVDs for $10 so I asked her if there was anyone else I could speak to about this issue. She stated that there wasn't anyone whom I could speak with about this issue because she had spoken with her supervisor (I didn't get her supervisor's name). So I asked if I could speak with her supervisor's supervisor and I was connected with Sonya. I explained to her the same thing that I had previously explained to Michelle. She also told me that I wouldn't be allowed to purchase the DVD set for $10 and she goes on to say that this was a site error. I told her that I still should be allowed to purchase the set for $10. I did not cause the error, they did.

    So, I asked Sonya if she had an operator number or a last name that I could get. She said there wasn't any operator number that I could get and she didn't give me her last name; however, she replied that she was the only Sonya in the Mississippi call center. I asked Sonya to speak with her supervisor and I was connected to Tornia. Tornia stated that even though it was $10 on the web site, she would be unable to let me have it at that price.

    I was under the impression that if an item is priced at one thing and it was incorrectly priced, the consumer is suppose to be allowed to get the merchandise for that price. That particular set of DVD was priced $10 on Black Friday and I just don't understand why a company like Walmart who supposedly pride themselves on customer satisfaction won't honor their pricing especially since they placed the price at $10 after I had decided not to purchase it because it was too expensive at the price of approximately $40.

    I put some Christmas gifts on layaway. But before I did, I asked the cashier about the Christmas lowest price guarantee (as seen on TV ads) if this would apply to any of the items being put on layaway. The cashier said yes and it would automatically change if something went on sale. So I proceeded with the layaway. Lo and behold, the price for the sky lander starter kit went on sale Black Friday from $69.986 to $49.96. The next day I was at Wal-Mart and went to layaway to check on getting the difference. I was unable to because I needed to be there on that day and that the product needed to still be in stock in-order to get the difference and that I would also need to take out my layaway.

    A few days later, I decided to contact the store manager and got the assistant manager instead. I got the same story all over again, so I asked for Wal-Mart’s customer service number. I called the number given to me and the woman I spoke to told me she couldn't do any thing to help and I could contact the market manager for the area I live in. I called number and of course no answer. I am getting the run-around and it's really making a not so good experience into a bad enough experience that I will not spend my hard earned money at Wal-Mart any more.

    I wasn't able to get out for Black Friday, so I decided to go online to order from Wal-Mart the 3 items that I wanted that totaled $178. We have a long established account with PayPal with 3 confirmed fund sources. One from a personal credit card, another, which we have never used, is from a PayPal card, and the last is from our personal sales acquired through eBay sales. So I get the approval through PayPal instantly with a "pending" status from Wal-Mart. I figured it was due to backlog and decided to give it another day or so.

    When it did not change, I contacted Wal-Mart and received a notice saying they had cancelled my order due to security issues with PayPal. So I call PayPal who assures me that we are fully verified with excellent credit history and 3 available options for payment. They say Wal-Mart cancelled the order and has a history of doing so for no reason. So I made another call to Wal-Mart asking why they had not processed my order.

    I need to know exactly why the Walmart store on N Interstate Drive, Norman, OK treats its customers like criminals? I was attempting to use 10 legitimate manufacturer coupons that all had the clarifying info that your coupon policy on Walmart.com and posted in store states that it is necessary to have them accept the coupon. I was told by the checker that Walmart does not accept manufacturer's coupons. I asked for her manager and then she proceeded to call me crazy and said I was wasting my time and hers.

    She got her manager, which she referred to as her "CSM" and that woman then took a 1 second glance at the coupon and said it would not be accepted because the expiration date is too far away, 3/31/2012 to be exact. She "explained" to me that coupons are only accepted within 60 days of expiry. This is a flat out lie, this woman who supposedly had worked for your company for 15+ years and is supervising other employees doesn't even know the simplest info even when it was printed on a laminated piece of paper posted right next to her face! I asked for someone else to help me, I was then told that no one else would waste their time with this and I could either pay full price for the items or leave immediately.

    I refused, then they threatened to have the police remove me from the store. They took my cart full of groceries and my personal belongings from me and took it to the customer service area when finally a man, who I believe was of higher authority than the CSM woman, came over with 4 more store employees following him and asked to see the coupon. Immediately he said yes of course we accept manufacturer's coupons and instructed the cashier to continue with the transaction.

    This in total was a 45-minute ordeal and I feel if these employees cared about the job they are doing or if they were trained correctly that this could have been obviously avoided. I was treated like a criminal, a liar and embarrassed in front of my family and other customers, why? Why was any of this necessary? Is it illegal to try and save my family money? Even shoplifters are treated with more respect than I was shown. Does Walmart support such behavior? Will I be treated like this in the future?

    I just finished leaving my local Wal-Mart store and I must say, I have never had such a horrible experience at any store. I am absolutely horrified at the type of people Wal-Mart chooses to place in managerial and supervisory positions. Wal-Mart was,until today, my "go to" store for all of my shopping needs.

    I proceeded to make my way to the Christmas section first, and then went on to the clearance section. I came across an entire box of Christmas floral decorations. They were in the clearance section at the bottom of the shelf with not one, but two small clearance red tags that read $6.50. I automatically added 3 to my shopping basket. Finally, I headed to the registers for check out. I was attended by a very nice cashier, whose name I did not catch (store# 3623, op#**).

    As she rang up my items, I noticed the Christmas floral arrangements rang up at $10.00 instead of the price posted of $6.50 that was at the bottom of the entire box of arrangements, which I will add again, was in the clearance section. I let the cashier know that these items were priced differently in the aisle. So, our cashier made her way to another employee, or maybe a supervisor that was in the customer service area, by the name of Norma. Norma sent another employee, that was in the customer service area as well, to verify the price. But, first asked us where we had gotten the items from. We told them they were in the clearance area. My husband accompanied the employee to make sure he showed her exactly where the the items were located. Our cashier proceeded to ring up the rest of our items.

    Finally, the employee came back to the front with my husband and the red tags on hand. By this time Norma was standing next to my mom and I. As the employee approached her, she let her know that indeed the items were in the clearance section with the red tags that read $6.50. Norma, then called out to another supervisor by the name of Rosalinda and explained the situation to her. Rosalinda then approached us saying that the tag did not pertain to those specific items. I then proceeded to tell her that the price should be honored due to incorrect signage. She immediately said that she could only give me one at that price. I had 3 on hand. I thought that was entirely unfair so I pointed out that used to be a manager at a local retail store and that due to incorrect signage prices had to be honored. Her response to me was, "I am not dumb. I know people move things on purpose. I can check the cameras right now." By this time she had raised her voice at us. She was implying we had moved the items out of place. I had had it with the disrespect at this point, so I raised my voice as well and told he "well then lets go see, show me." She then said she couldn't show us any video because it was private. I told her I was going to call and file a complaint and she said, "that's fine, they're going to tell you the same thing."

    I had never had any employee show such disrespect. I am truly appalled at this employees behavior. I most definitely will not be returning to this store despite the fact that I am only minutes away. I know that the whole pricing incident may not seem all too important, but once the manager started raising her voice at my family and I, and falsely accusing us by literally threatening us to check her cameras, I had enough.

    I am a graduate student working on my Masters Degree in Gerontology with a certification in Counseling. I am also working at a position that is an equivalent to an internship position. Because of this position, I had to choose and limit the hours I would be available to work at WalMart.

    Recently in the past six weeks, I went out of town on a family emergency, at which time my niece lost her baby, and I assisted with that funeral. This past couple of weeks, I had to miss work again due to a family emergency. My step-father we thought had a stroke on a Thursday night; by Friday night, they discovered it was a tumor in the brain and they were planning on operating on Monday. I went out of town to be with my family in this. Monday when they operated, the family was notified that the tumor is malignant and has six months or less to live. I came back home a week later both exhausted emotionally and not feeling physically well. At that time, I saw my family doctor and was placed on medications for ear infection and high blood pressure. Walmart told me then that I had to make a choice and that if I missed anymore due to this family crisis, I was going to be terminated. Since when does an employer have that right?

    I told Walmart I quit and I will fight. I should not have to choose between being with my family and step-father and his condition or working at Walmart with no future or hope. Walmart at this point sucks and could care less about the family.

So to make it possible to have family time, we must change our availability and get hours cut. Some of us get stuck with a 9 pm to 6 am shift while the husband and wife don’t ever get stuck with that shift cause the husband has a straight 10 pm to 7am shift cause he’s an overnight dairy associate while his wife is an in-stock associate just like every one else that gets a 9 pm to 6 am shift.

    I’ve also had issues with them before as they are a relative to my ex. She has cut me down in front of people and I’ve talked to management and all they did was talked it out with us. Honestly, other associates have said some of the stuff she said was really bad and that she should have been fired. All other associates have told me I deserve the days off I request and that they are fine with it, but the wife goes and complains to management and then they say they can’t give me the days off I request because she complained. I don’t know what to do bout this. I can’t afford to be cut hours but I also can’t put Wal-Mart ahead of my home life.

    I have a home life or lose hours. I feel as if I got to cut my hours so I can spend time with the family.

Don't take my money and try to tie it up 3 to 5 days and try to turn the problem on me. I had nothing to do with what you have in stock and what you don't.

    My sister, Elaine ***, was going to get my grandsons bikes for Christmas and we all thought using Wal-Mart was a good idea. Silly us. Tim and I went to pick up everything on Friday. We were told not enough time for the order to get into the computer. We went down to the back of the store, found the little bike for Hunter, asked a male employee going by us if he had the bike we wanted for Axel. He checked and couldn't find one but said he knew he had one there. It's his only job to put bikes together. He's in that department so we believed him. Got an alarm radio and came back up front with the little bike. But we can't take just those two items. The order is not in the system yet. It has to be taken all together. Here is where you say, "Oh, my, guess it would just mess up everything, huh?" Someone should help you. People design a program that could help the general buying public to get what they want at anytime or be a little clearer on picking up items purchased online.

    This store in Rayham is supposed to be a 24 hour store. Apparently, it's only for a few select things because sure as heck, no one is working on orders. Hey, new concept, sell something. Fast forward to today. Went back to Wal-Mart. Now, there is no little bike that Tim and I personally took up front. There are no Harry Potter books and no big bike for Axel. "So sorry, looks like it was sold. The computer said it was in bin 402 but that's empty. No other bike like it in the store. So sorry." But here is the radio, with a slight shrug of the shoulders and a "See ya" attitude. I left the store.

    The girl who helped me tonight credited back to your account. Be sure to check your card, the only thing on there should be the radio. If you want to try again, use Wal-Mart in E. Wareham and you pick out the bikes. Blue is Axel's favorite color and he should have a 20". Hunter's color is anything (LOL for now anyway) and he needs a small bike. Boyish ones, you know? I am so sorry for this mess honey. I know you are working hard and tired and I thought this was such a wonderful idea. If you have any other ideas please let me know. They really want bikes. LOL.

    So I contacted their email department once again and was offered either a replacement item or a refund since they insist item was "lost in delivery." I opted for a replacement item since they do not carry this easel in any of our local stores. I received an email stating a replacement was being sent and to check my account for status updates. Then 6 minutes later, I received an email saying they were refunding my monies within 2 billing cycles. So I'm looking at 31-60 days before I get my monies back.

    At Yelm Wa. Wal-Mart, I have a 42" 1080 HD 3D Vizio TV on layaway which is almost paid off. It cost $648.00, $56.38 Tax and $5.00 for layaway. At my local Costco in Lacey, Wa., it was selling for $569.99 because of the MFG $100.00 Instant Discount from $669.99.

    Wal-Mart Professed to not only price match competitors but also on layaway items. It took over 3 hours going through every manager getting the run around stating that they do not price match Costco or Sams Club advertised pricing because it requires a membership card. In the Wal-Mart Rules, it says that they gladly match preferred shopping card prices for specific items that are in a printed ad. I printed out the Costco member price of $569.99, the online purchase price that was $999.99; the King5 TV online advertisement to prove I was right.

    No where does it state that they do not price match Costco or Sams and their excuse was that they couldn't put all the company names in the rules as it would be too lengthy. Does that mean there are more companies than Costco and Sams I asked and they said no. I think there may be a reason they do not put this in print nor make their rules more concise. They might be hiding behind Gray Areas for a better bottom line while stepping on those customers who just give in to the Wal-Mart excueses and just go home.

    I entered the Walmart store to buy a few items and while shaking friendly hand shakes, this ex-associate of Walmart (Kung-Fu bragger and beggar) locked my hand into his grip and hit me in the head with a blow that sent me air bound. I was knocked out to the ground. Believe it or not when 911 arrived there was no store security personnel during the whole time of this incident.

    They allowed the ex-associate to run away prior the police's arrival. However, the incident was captured on tape. I could not believe it. I warned Walmart and the police that if they did not stop the gang banging and violence from openly occurring at these stores, something bad was bound to happen. On November 3, 2011, a 74 year old David ** lay dead from a blow to the head after informing a drifter that he had no money to give. It's a shame that Walmart refused to stop this growing problem in LA prior to the death of this elderly man.

    I went to buy the PlayStation 3 Starter Bundle on Wal-Mart which was $229 at 3pm on 11/26. I had to go out and by the time I came back at 6:30, the price had gone up to $263 for the item. Now mind you, it was a lot cheaper on Black Friday and so I was going to pay more buying after that day, but for the price to change again in less than 4 hours. I could see if it changed at midnight, but during the day! That shouldn't be allowed. Gas stations can't change their prices more than once a day, neither should Wal-Mart.

    Two days ago, I went to walmart.com, placed an order and had it shipped to my local Walmart for pickup. I went back to walmart.com today and placed another order using my walmart.com account. I checked out and expected the order to be shipped to my local Walmart for pickup with the other order. When I finalized the order, I noticed that it was being shipped to a Walmart store that is not even in our area. I sent walmart.com an email about the problem and have not heard anything so I called their customer service department and was told that they could not change the order at all. That I would have to cancel the order, go back online and reorder and pay again. I was also told that it would be 7 to 10 days before I could get my refund on my PayPal account.

    I was told by their customer service person that this happens all the time and they have no way to correct it. Nice way for Walmart to keep my money for 10 days. I can't believe they can't make a change on an order. What good is customer no service? It was obvious that the customer no service person had no idea what she was doing. She had to put me on hold about four times to check with someone and all she did was read from a script. She said that she canceled my order but could not provide a confirmation number and anything for me to have.

    She said that I would have to check my account to see if the order was canceled. Now, I have to either take a chance that Walmart will refund my money or go ahead and reorder and hope that I don't have to fight with them to get my money back. This is not a good experience. I probably will not reorder from Walmart and purchase from another store. I can't believe they can't make changes to orders when the order was placed within the last two hours. Customer no service so buyers, beware if you purchase online.

    Unbelievable! Several years ago, I ordered something of several hundred dollars at Walmart.com. I later got an email that the item was unavailable and the order canceled. So I bought elsewhere. When the item unexpectedly showed up a couple of months later, I refused delivery. But it took me several more months and many phone calls to get my money refunded.

    A couple of years later, assuming it was a glitch in their system, I ordered something else of several hundred dollars from Wal-Mart and the same thing happened again only worse! This time, they sent me a special bill for shipping and warehouse storage fees because I refused the order! And, again, it took months to get my money back.

    Here's the most unbelievable part: I did it again! Must be a glitch in my system! Never again! Ordered something and just got the email from Wal-Mart that it's unavailable and the order canceled. Here we go again!

    On Black Friday 11/25/2011, I purchased a DVD player from Wal-Mart and brought it home and plugged it up. It did not work. I try to go back to the store. To exchange for a new one. I just recently paid for the item. I was trying to explain the situation to the customer service representative. She had a bad attitude about the situation. She stated that the numbers on the item does not match what on the box. I asked for the manager of this department which he had no solution to my problem at all and I felt like this was very disrespectful of your employees to talk to me with such an attitude.

    If I was doing something wrong. I only was trying to return your product, it should have been a simple exchange but they left me taking care of the business that they should have been doing the purpose of this complaint so that when this happened with someone else they would have a better solution and not leave the customer to figure out what to do.

    I bought a 32" Emerson flat screen HD TV on 11-16-11 for $249.00 plus tax. On Black Friday, they went on sale for $188.00. I went in to see if they could give me store credit at least. The Wal-Mart manager told me it has been past the 7 days allowed and was not even considering customer satisfaction. I feel like the rule should have been waived and given store credit. I thought Wal-Mart was all about customer satisfaction. Wal-Mart is 40 miles round trip for me and I’m a stroke victim. Thank you for your time.

    The store advertised to consumers that they where having their Thursday Thanksgiving sale starting at 10 P.M. November 24th. This advertised sale listed certain items to be available at 10 p.m. But, unknown to the public, they decided to start the sale early at 9 p.m. instead of 10 p.m. So when you arrived to participate in the wait, you where informed that the items are sold out because they started the sale an hour earlier. Wow! So here you have people fighting through the crowd to look for the line for the item you want to by only to find that there is no such item because they sold them an hour earlier. You make plans regarding advertised times by a retailer and you are "punked". Why freaking bother advertising! They did this crap in 2009 and 2010. When are they going to get slapped! They cause a mass frenzy for nothing and mess with people for money.

    It's sad when you go to Black Friday sale specifically for something that was shown on sale in the newspaper and when you get there, they tell you they never got any. What's really sad is when you hear from another employee that they did but decided not to put them out because they had no plate, and then they get rude with my mother when she tries to ask them about it.

    On November 24, we went to our local Walmart on Mullan to buy the Disney Princess Vanity Set. It was covered with plastic and we stood patiently by from 9:20pm until 10pm when a Walmart employee removed the wrap and I picked up the vanity I wanted. No Hassle!

    We inquired about the Vizio 3D TV which we wanted to buy for our daughter and her family and we were told we could not buy it until 8am, so we left the store and went home. I awoke at 5:20am and called the store as the site where the 3D TV was not listed on the store map. Tim in Electronics told me not to bother to come in, they had so many people standing in line all night and he had given out all the "tags" and there was still a long line of people waiting-- how could they get tags before 8am?!

    We went out for breakfast and went to the Walmart on the west end of our town, near the state line and got there at 7:20am. I was there with another lady who also wanted the Vizio 3D TV and a Walmart employee guy in a white shirt and tie told us they had people standing in line all night so they gave the tags out. We were still in the store and saw no one leaving with a TV, so I guess they gave the tags out and sold the TVs before 8am which is clearly what the ad said.

    I think if you are going to give out tags, anyone who shows up at any time during the sale period should be given a tag and all 40 million tags should be put in a drawing to see who gets to buy the item, and then call the winners and tell them they won and can come in and pay for their TV. It is crazy that people stood from 10pm until whenever the Walmart employees got tired of them standing there and gave the tags out early. That was not right! I'm going to Target and the Dollar store from now on!

    Black Friday false ad. The Wal-Mart flyer states at 8am on Friday morning the PSP will be $99. I was number 6 in line only to find out the store did not get the shipment. I went to the Wal-Mart Facebook page and this same problem happened in other stores all across the US. If not the PSP, the TV was not available.

    I attempted to purchase a Sony iPod/iPhone docking station advertised for $49.00. I obtained it from the stock on display in Walmart Store #1791, Fremont, Michigan. After waiting until midnight on November 25, 2011, I was charged $89.88. I went to Customer Service to advise them the advertisement is false. I was told, even though it is the same as advertised, because it came off the shelf, it had a different UPC number and was not on sale.

    I attempted to identify myself and Customer Service Representative, Angie, threw my card back at me and said, "I know who you are". Assistant manager, Kelly, was extremely rude, claimed that the Store Manager had talked to me earlier about that fact at the Subway located in the store and walked away.

    Walmart was handing out tickets for the PS3 bundles that were on sale for $199.00 this Black Friday. I got my ticket, waited in line for 2 1/2 hours for 10:00pm to come. When it was 9:50pm, a worker came around and said, "Okay, if you have a ticket, you will be getting a PS3, if you don't have one, please don't line up". When it came to our turn to get the PS3 they said, "Sorry, we have no more PS3s. All we have left are PS360s that are an extra $150".

    Now you would think that they would count the merchandise they have and hand out that many tickets instead of waiting till the end and giving us that "we're sorry" crap. To top it off, the employee there was trying to blame us for not reading the ad correctly, saying in small letters it says PS360 in small print for $349.00. I told her, "Well, I'm not here for that one. I'm here for the $199 bundle". So at the end, I ended up wasting almost 3 hours of my night.

    Walmart had the vampire movie on line up until 12 midnight for $49.99. The second it turned midnight, it went on sale for $10.00. Unfortunately, the sign now states sold out. Four different people I had at four different Walmarts said the same thing the minute they went on sale--they were sold out. This is a scam during Black Friday. This is false advertising to get people away from their families on the one holiday that you're supposed to give thanks and spend time with them. I am thinking maybe I won't be giving them business this Christmas either.

    At approximately 10:25 PM on 11/24/11, I was trying to prepare to pick up my family at the door, and depart from the above location. When I pulled in, behind a Sentas Security car talking to a Wal-Mart employee. I waited for a moment, and because there were people crossing in front of us, as well as oncoming traffic( in the parking lot), I did not attempt to go around. I then blew my horn, and asked if security could move over and allow me to pass. The Wal-Mart employee (male, **, with wild hair) told me I need to wait, or go around(they were simply gossiping). I then replied,"I can't, don't you see people walking there ( the other side of lane), and on coming traffic". The employee then told me to wait.

    I then opened my car door and told them they were impeding traffic, and the security car did not have exemption plates, so they needed to stop holding up traffic. Again, I was told to wait. So I reached for my cellphone, and began to take a picture of the security license plate to document which car it was involved in this incident. Upon my trying to take a picture of the front license plate of the vehicle, the Wal-Mart employee instructed the security officer (female, older, **, hair white), and he stepped on the gas, and the car began rolling up to me, stopping just at my knees. At this point, I'm now shaking and upset, and began screaming to call the Sheriff.

    Is this how Wal-Mart treats it's customers? Are you kidding me? I then turned towards the employee heading to his car, and began to snap a picture of his license plate, when he charged to attack me screaming, "you're not taking a picture of my ** car". At that point, I prepared to defend myself when I heard my daughter scream,"you better not hit my momma". At which point, the employee realized my family was coming from the store. He then called over the radio for help, because there was a fight in the parking lot. I told him to please call the manager, and the sheriff, and tell them to look at the parking lot video. Upon the arrival of the sheriff from inside the store, I was kicked off the property, and told that I could not get my son, who was inside the store, with no line of communication. I was kicked off the property by the Palmdale Sheriff's Department. Although, someone from your store did attempt to calm me down ( a hispanic woman with glasses and long hair).

    The Gettysburg Walmart employees and flyers had stated that Black Friday sales for everything but electronics would start at 10:00PM. Electronics would start at 12:01AM. We got in line around 9PM and entered the store about 10:15PM. We made our way to the electronics, we had gone for to get the Xbox 360 Kinect bundle for $199.99 and at 10:25PM, they were all sold out along with every other electronic. I am very upset and mad that Walmart had lied in the flyer and employees. They had sold out every electronics before the stated they were supposed to start handing them out! Walmart is a bunch of liars and I'm very disappointed with them. There should be a rain check, discounts or gift cards given out due to the false advertisement!
