Wal-Mart Reviews

Last week, I bought 11 plastic crates to organize my garage. The price was $5.00 each. Today, I received the new Wal-Mart ad where the same crates were on sale: 2 for $5.00. I went to the store, and the lady at the customer service counter informed me that they do not match prices, even their own, but that she would check with a manager. After talking to the manager on the phone, she informed me she was right and that the manager said to return them and purchase them again. That is so stupid. I am not going to take everything out of them, but I will stop shopping at Wal-Mart. I live in a small town, hopefully not much longer; and they are the only place to shop. Now, I will drive 20 miles and shop in a real grocery or clothing store.

Last week, we bought a new bag of Iams mini chunks. Both of our dogs have been having diarrhea for the past week. I narrowed it down to the food, as our big dog stopped wanting to eat his food and he never refuses to eat. Our poodle has had diarrhea for the last 3 days. I am taking the food back to Wal-Mart and will be letting them know my findings.

On Friday, 7/30/09, I went shopping for Iams Meaty Beef & Rice dog food. There were 4 cans on the shelf; three of them were badly dented. I asked a stock person, who was unloading stock for the pet department if there was any in the back. She said no. I went back today (8/4/09), and there were four cans. Two of which were badly dented. My question is "Why does it take so long to replenish stock?"

I am writing to voice a complaint against Wal-Mart and to see if someone can help me with an encounter I recently had in one of your stores. I was in need of a new television set. So on July 5, 2009, I began my search online at www.walmart.com to compare several different television sets, 3 in particular, in order to make an informed decision about my purchase.

I went to Wal-Mart on July 27, 2009 and used my sale ads. I was told that they would not take one of my sale ads because they said that the store ad was a generic meat that they sold at the store while the name of the meat that was on sale was called Terry’s. They would not give it to me. They always say that they take all sale ads, but they don’t.

I fell at Walmart on December 31, 2008, was picked up by ambulance from the store. I had just started insulin and passed out, so I did not try and get Walmart for the fall but Diabetes of America. Diabetes of America now tells me that they are not going to pay because Walmart has no record of the fall or any witness statements. Walmart has been ugly about it saying they have no trace of the fall and no records.

I am a big Wal-Mart shopper and am a little disappointed that the Parent's Choice Diapers have gone up by 2-3 dollars while the size of the packaging has gone down. I just wanted to voice my complaint somewhere. I am a single mom of 6 and living on SSI as my only means of income, and I have had to almost double the amount of diapers I buy since the size shrinkage.

I want to know why you took out the layaway and sewing fabric. It was bad enough when you took out the fish, but the fabric and layaway, that is just wrong. My whole family used the layaway. Now, we have to travel 45 miles to Kmart to shop because we don't want to shop where there is no layaway. Plus, I have nowhere to get fabric anymore.

I went to the store, developed prints, and made CD. On 7/29/09, as advertised, books are $7.00. I made up the photos for 2 books and got in line to pay. The clerk said they did not have the books for the photos. They were ordered 2 days ago and have not arrived. She said she could hold pictures and would call when books came in. I said ok. I stopped at the store on 8/2/09, and the books still had not came in. It was said they were ordered again. I feel if you advertise an item, they should be in-store.

I went to Walmart on 441 & Belvedere last week and bought Smithfield ribs, got home, opened the package and the ribs were rotten. I returned them and was given a refund. Yesterday, 8/1/09, I went back to the same Walmart and bought the same brand of ribs, got home, opened the package and they were rotten again. I returned them and again, was given a refund. I spoke to a few friends who enlightened me on the fact that they never buy Walmart meats because this had happened to them before. Has anyone ever done anything about this?

I shop for groceries in Walmart in Selma all the time. Today (8/01/09), I picked all the items I was going to purchase. The cashier rang all my items up. I gave her a blank check and showed her my driver's license. She typed in my driver's license number. But she typed it in wrong, therefore, my check would not go through. She and the key tech did not call the 1-800 number while I was in the store. They just voided my purchase and checked out the next customer. I had to leave out the store and go to the parking lot to call the 1-800 number myself. The lady that I talked to told me I should have not had to leave the store. She also informed me that the cashier entered the wrong driver's license number. I was gone only 15 minutes and they had taken my items out of the bags and thrown them back into the basket. The cashier was too lazy to correct her mistake, and I was treated unfairly for a mistake someone else made. And she was too selfish and lazy to correct it. I had to do it myself.

Well, it was really crowded on July 31, 2009 and I was in line for quite some time to cash my check. The lady in front of me had a MoneyGram form to fill out and so the cashier motioned for me to come forward so she could assist me while the other customer was filling out her form. I had folded my check to put in my wallet so it had a crease in it. It took a few tries for the cash register to accept it and by this time, the other customer was finished so the cashier, while she did count it as it came from the drawer, just handed it to me. I felt bad for it taking so long for my check to go through and the line was so long that I accepted it without counting it myself and I was comfortable with the cashier. I do know her personally and she has been an employee at Walmart for quite sometime.

While I was shopping in your Midland store this morning, I asked a man, who I believe works in the automotive department, if he was aware of where the liverwurst was kept. He assisted me to the area he believed it was kept which was the deli department. He asked the girl behind the counter if she knew where it was located, and she practically bit the poor man's head off. Now, I would kind of understand if the department was busy, but she was standing around doing nothing. There was no reason for her to talk to him like that when he was nothing but polite with her. This is the second time I've experienced rudeness in the deli department. Today's date is August 1, 2009. I was there at approximately 11:30. It was the older, heavy-set woman, not the younger girl.

I ordered a cheaper camera I found on Walmart.com that was not available in the stores. It’s a Vivitar ViviCam 5022 (order number **) which I purchased by credit card on July 17, 2009. I have tracked it all week hoping to receive it by tomorrow, August 1, 2009, because that is my 15-year HS reunion. I had been calling customer service and the on-site store checking the status, but no one could tell me anything because no shipping info had been updated online since July 21. Today, I received an email that I was being issued a refund. I called customer service and was told my order was lost, so they were refunding me my money. This terribly upset me because I don't have a camera for my reunion. I won't see the refund for who knows how long and I do not have the money to go out and purchase a new camera.

I feel I was unfairly targeted by members of management at Wal-Mart. Today, I was called into the office for "lack of productivity" or slow productivity. My department manager, as well as other co-workers, can vouch that I am a good employee. I don't cause any trouble and I always do what is asked and required. I was given a verbal coaching and now I am facing termination. The reason I feel I was unfairly targeted is because over the course of my employment at this particular Wal-Mart, I've seen various employees slacking on the job. When I say slacking, I mean sitting down and not lifting a finger while others are sweating and working hard.

Kelly (in electronics, I think) stated to me "You don't know how to read." It's the first thing she said to me when I asked her a question about buying a Vizio 32-inch TV, and I stated there was no TV of the make and size on display. She stated that it's because it's a cheap TV, at which time, she went to the same place in the back where she left me standing there not knowing if she was going back to where she was to start with or going to look.

We bought Great Value Purified Drinking Water with flavor enhancing minerals, 24-500ml (0 78742 11433 0), purchase date 07-27-2009, distributed by Bentonville, AR 72716 (NGK03121B). At first, we thought it was our cooking of a different product when my wife had a big pain in her stomach. But over the next couple days when making our daughter her formula, Similac, her eating habits changed. She spit up a lot and cried more. We thought it was the weather. I finally tasted the water today myself. And over the few days of experience, I've concluded the problems we are having is the drinking water listed. Above from birth, our 3.5-month old daughter has only had bottled water. We stopped by the nearest store at the moment on Monday night and picked up a pack of 24 bottled lowest priced bottled water at the Kennewick Wal-Mart on 27th avenue, Washington 99336.

I just would like to say that I have been shopping at Wal-Mart for a long time! But I noticed lately that just about every time I go there, most merchandise are not on the shelf. When I ask for help to locate or get some information about an item (to be specific, a mop), the help either won't show up or he or she never comes back with the result or answer. I am not the type of person to complain about anything all the time, but these things happened more than enough! I am not sending this message to put anybody in trouble. I understand it if they are busy. But let me say this, it can be managed much, much better. I appreciate all your help. I'll continue to shop at Wal-Mart. Thanks.

Wal-Mart in Cedar Falls, IA has recently remodeled the inside of their store. The aisles are now wider, but the inventory has gone way down. They have less name brand groceries and more store brand. I'm sorry, but not everything tastes good in the Great Value Brand. They don't have near as many grocery selections as they did before, and the prices have gone up significantly. For instance, Duncan Hines Cake mixes have gone up 30 cents. Cereal and crackers are higher. Paper products are higher, and the selection is way down. But, they can get more people comfortably in the aisles now.

We purchased a Hometrends patio set about 2 years ago from this store. On July 25, 2009, we heard a loud boom and went outside to investigate and found the glass top had exploded into thousands of pieces. We worked for several hours picking up and vacuuming the deck, but days later we are still finding small shards everywhere, especially under the deck which is located over the entrance to our walk-out basement. I of course cannot use the deck until I am sure every shard has been picked up and disposed of properly. The problem with this is I have four dogs and we use both exits out of the house many times a day. The deck is also my only means of using my power-chair because I am disabled and cannot walk for only very short distances. But my dogs are the real problem. I am so afraid they might get glass in their feet. So far we have been lucky and this has not occurred.

Today, I went to your store in Oakland to purchase a laptop computer. All in all, this is the worst shopping experience I have been exposed to in years. The store was not very busy and the department selling laptops had no other customers. At the iPod counter, there were two ladies in conversation. I waited and asked if someone could direct me to the laptops. I was told go around the corner and I will see them. It took me some time to locate them, but was not going to ask again since clearly I was not welcome to do so. I had some questions and went back to the counter and asked if anyone could help me. I was directed to the next counter.

I bought a bike for my daughter a 20" Slumber Party built by Next. It has a defective rear wheel hub. I took it back for an exchange and was told it was past the three-day exchange date, but they would have it repaired. I left the bike and came back two days later. They brought me the wrong bike (exact model minus the basket). Then, I went to the back to retrieve my daughter's bike. I was told that the bike "is fine, that is just how it is." There were no offers for an exchange, refund, or anything. My daughter can't even pedal the bike because of the dragging rear hub. It squeals and grinds - a very obvious defect! Out of curiosity, I checked what the other bike (the first one they brought up) was in for; and it too was in for a noisy rear wheel. I then went and checked other bikes similar to my daughter's, and all the bikes on the rack had the same noisy rear wheel. Wal-Mart is selling junk and is aware of it! My next step is talking to a manager and pointing out the defective bikes and see if they own up or just blow me off.

I bought a stand fan in June 2008. The piece that connects the fan to the base broke. All I wanted was the name of the company to contact about getting a replacement for the broken piece, but when I went to exchange it, they gave me the runaround that it no longer was in their system and that there was nothing they could do. The name of the fan is Retro stand fan and I think it's a mainstay product which was made in India. There is no telephone number or address to contact these people. The model number is 16S35RB. I would appreciate anything you could do to help me.

When I returned to my car, someone had siphoned gas from my gas tank and left it open. I called the store to report it to security, was left on hold for approximately 1/2 hour, then was told I needed to file a police report. I explained to the person that I wasn't so much concerned about the theft, but if I had not gone to the other side of my car to put packages in, I could have been a moving bomb. I am telling you, this store needs a complete overhaul when it comes to management. It is a sorry situation. I could write a book of people hanging out and not doing their job. I do not usually complain, but this was a very serious dereliction of responsibility. I could not make them understand that it wasn't the gas, but the danger of this situation.

I want to know why this store in Oswego, IL is the worst store to stock their shelves. They "never" have Walmart brand diet tonic water on their shelves. I always have to find a clerk to get it for me. It is the "worst managed" store in our area. ** was an awful manager and now it is worse than ever. People in Oswego go to Montgomery to shop, much cleaner, friendlier, and they stock their shelves! What is going on? I do most of my shopping at Walmart, but if things don't change, I will go elsewhere. Hoping this problem can be resolved soon.

I have been shopping at your North East Wal-Mart location here in Edmonton for almost five years now. My last couple visits have not been a very pleasant experience for me and my family. Over the past few months, I have noticed your staff is becoming very rude, snappy and lacking in personal hygiene. When I ask for help, your staff usually walks right by or says “I don’t work in this department.” Your staff seems to be too wrapped-up with themselves and their friends that customer service has fallen right out of the Wal-Mart picture.

I have been returning a lot of dead fish over the past 2 months. I have always been treated with respect until today. A lady named Brenda was extremely rude to me when returning my fish. The fish in this store are pitiful and ate up with fungus. The fish tank is filthy and uncared for. Something needs to be done or Wal-Mart has lost my business. Brenda should not be over the fish, if she cannot properly take care of them or the customers. She is the rudest employee I have ever dealt with. What happened to customer service?

My husband and I were checking out our groceries in the self check out lane. A female employee kept coming up to and telling me I had to take out my whole cart and put it on the belt. She was very rude to me. She then kept watching me and my husband's every move. She was talking about us to another employee saying, "Would not listen." I asked to speak to a manager. The manager then came to the employee and asked what happened. She said we were cursing at her. That was not true. He then got in my husband's face yelling at him in front of the whole store. He told us to get out. He had to other employees with him, one who I think didn't even work there. The manager was rude and very physical telling my husband he belongs in jail. I feel that we were discriminated against because my husband and I have tattoos.

On the Wal-Mart flyer dated Sunday, July 26 through Saturday, August 1, there was a Compaq Presario CQ60-419WM laptop computer advertised for $298. The ad clearly stated that the item was available at 8:00 a.m. on July 26, 2009, that quantities were limited and that there would be a minimum quantity of 10 per store. No rain checks were available. I arrived at the store at 7:45 a.m. today, July 26, and headed directly to the electronics department. A line had already formed and there were five people ahead of me, making me the sixth person for the 10 available. There was no one in the department when I arrived and when someone finally showed up, they were unable to help us and got a manager. Upon his arrival, we explained what we were there for and he went into the back warehouse area to get the item. Upon his return, he explained that they only had five of the item and that three had been brought to the front checkout area for purchase. He returned with the two that were still stocked and they went to the first two in line. As the others in line thought, wouldn't a limited quantity electronics item be available in the electronics department?

I went into Wal-mart this morning at around 8:00 a.m., and I wanted to buy a new TV. Everything was going fine until the guy asked to see my ID, which didn't make sense because I was using my ATM card to pay for it. So, I handed him my ID and he walked off and almost 1 hour later he came back and told me, "I have to deny the purchase because there is no way to tell if this ID is real or not." Just for the record, I'm originally from Reno, NV and I just moved here and haven't gotten a new ID yet.

This is sort of a new store and I don't know my way around there. So, I saw somebody who seemed to work there and she had a name badge on (assistant manager Tasha). I asked her where the cleaning supplies were and she pointed here and there, which didn't help me at all. When I told her I didn't understand the direction, she got really snotty and just walked away from me. I don't think they should get such an attitude at their customers. I think I'll go back to Target where the people are much nicer. My daughter was nearby and she said this attitude was uncalled for and she's not going back either.

Well, at the perfume counter, I was made to feel like I was going to steal something. As the shop assistant had to escort me to the cash register with the perfume I wanted to buy. Sheesh, okay, I understand that people have stolen things before, (but!) the least they could do to stop anyone else stealing items such as your darn perfume, would be to put a special counter there with a cash register and that would stop a lot of people feeling like criminals. Thank you.

I found a hair in my Great Value Bran Flakes this morning. I thought you might like to know.

I bought a 46 inch Polaroid LCD HDTV from Walmart. I bought the in-store warranty for 2 years. It has been 1 year and 8 months and this TV is already completely tore up. It started with a pinstripe blue line down the center of the screen. I called the number on the warranty slip. They came and got it 3 weeks ago. After about a week, I got curious about what was wrong with it. It was our only TV. I could not get anyone to answer the phone. I called for days, all I got was a recording. I called the phone number on my receipt and reached the New service center - Walmart's warranty center. I have been lied to over and over again. They have told me repeatedly that it would be 3 days.

Wal-Mart has been opened less than 2 years here. I shopped there a week ago, and there were maggots in different stages of development under the sausage meat. They were cold, so they did not move; but it was very gross. And no one wants to hear a complaint! 2 guys came to empty my cart. One of the two held the other's pants up, for they kept slipping down. That may be a (street) style, but it sure is ugly at work. Keep the meat in a clean area.

I own a small business and use a lot of your clear spray paint (product # 20014A000 1 00 78742 03230 3). You have discontinued it. Why? The other brand is too expensive and not as good as the Wal-Mart brand. Maybe you can forward this to the right dept. Thanks.

My daughter and I were shopping one night and she was using Family First card. We waited 30 minutes for someone to get a price on a package of sausage biscuits. When they were finally rung up, the cashier put them under nonfood and tax was charged. The manager came over and was very nasty. My daughter made sure she only got food that was covered. They could not get the product off for return and when they finally did, she wanted us to pay the tax on this item we did not get. I believe that these managers need training in customer service; they need to know the difference between food and nonfood. What happened to the rule "the customer is always right?" I have worked in customer service all my life and would never disrespect anyone the way this lady did. I am done with Walmart.

I had a converter box that will not work (DirecTV converter box). I went to my local Wal-Mart store, and I went to the service desk and explained that the box does not work. Then they made me wait around for the manager, because they said they did not think they could do it without a manager's approval, while the guy ahead of me was returning an iPod, and the service desk told him there was no problem and they would bring another one to exchange. That is all I wanted to do with mine, and yet, I had to have a manager's approval. Needless to say, they just happened to run out of the converter box; and they said they would give me a call when one would come in. And I'm still waiting. This was 5 days ago.

This morning, I was in the Walmart grocery dept. shopping at 5:00 a.m. and an employee (Ms. **) was working in the bread aisle. Ms. ** took off her shoe and scratched the bottom of her foot on the edge of the bread shelf. I reported this to the manager at this time. He walked up to the end of the aisle and stood there not saying a word to her. He then walked away. As he got close to me, I said something to him about not talking to her at that point because she could have done this again if she hadn't already done it before I'd seen her. I think this was very unsanitary. How would she feel if she had seen someone do this? I told the manager that I was reporting it to the health dept.

I am a victim of check fraud. Someone stole my checking account number and printed it on a check with a name other than mine. My bank has resolved me of any fault, but Wal-Mart has sent it to a collections agency under my name. Now I have suddenly become the wrong-doer instead of the victim. Getting a letter from a collections agency threatening that my credit will no longer be good at 300,000 merchants and banks is very disturbing. I am a 61-year-old retired nurse who has never done anything illegal in my life. Having someone steal your checking account number is a terrible invasion of privacy and very unsettling. But to then be harassed by a collections agency for something I had no part in is even worse. Perhaps Wal-Mart could investigate a situation before they give someone's good name to a collections agency. This has caused me unnecessary stress and emotional strain. I feel that I need an immediate apology from your company. It is not my fault that you told a check which was a fraud. Go after the person who committed the crime, not the victim.

I bought a swimming pool and I have contacted the managers for replacement. They told me I should contact the manufacturer. I did not buy it from the manufacturer; I bought it at Wal-Mart. The swimming pool has cost me around $300.00 and I can't afford to buy another one! It ruined my summer since I can’t replace it and it disappointed me big time in Wal-Mart!

I telephoned Walmart and the administrative Walmart. They told me that I could not get an exchange of the same brand and same cordless VTech telephone I have at home. The reason they told me that was I have no receipt. I told them that somebody had stolen my receipt and I no longer have access to my receipt. The only thing I have is a bank statement telling me the charges that was charged to my credit/debit card when I made the purchase. Please contact me regarding this issue. I need an exchange of my telephone, because the telephone I have no longer works properly. It rings two times then stops ringing. I am hearing impaired and I need a working telephone in my home. The reason I am hearing impaired is because I have a viral infection in my inner ear which causes my hearing loss. Please contact me regarding the issue of getting an even exchange of my VTech cordless telephone at home for the same product at Walmart. The model number is CS5113. The amount I paid for the cordless telephone was $14.35. The serial number for the telephone is **. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to telephone me.

I went to Boardman Walmart on 7/13/09 to buy coin wrappers and a sod for my grandson. I used the self check out for my purchase. When using my debit card, the total amount of the purchase was $3.48. When using my debit card, the machine asked if I wanted cash back. I pushed the black button on the key pad for no. It then went to the next screen to confirm the about which should be $3.48. I pushed yes to accept it. In return it gave me $20.00 cash back, which I did not want or request. No to say that my banking is over down due to the machine malfunction and the purchase of $3.48 will cost me an additional $20.00 plus the over draft fee of $35.00.

My daughter and I were shopping for my grandson's birthday gifts and party supplies at your Renton, WA store. One of his requests was a Spiderman pinata. We found the pinata hanging in a display (too high to reach) in the shoe department. We asked Brandon (store manager) if he could get it down for us and he said he would try to find someone to help get it down. We waited and no one came back. We decided to proceed to the checkout area and get help there. We saw Brandon standing at the checkout area talking to another employee. I asked him if he found someone to help us and he laughed. "Well, I was stopped three times and couldn't find anyone," he said. So I asked him, "Are you going to get it for us or find someone?" He did nothing, just stood talking to the other employer (not about business).

I purchased a product to kill Japanese beetles. I live in an apartment with a small deck 7' x 9'. I needed to kill the beetles in my plants on my deck. I made the mistake of getting a product for trees and shrubs that attached to a hose to apply it. I tried to return the purchased product and was told at the customer service center that any product with hazardous contents could not be refunded. I was told the policy was posted in the garden center.

Security guard thought that I had stolen something, in which I didn't. So he said, "Okay, you can leave." Then I get a call 10 minutes after I'm gone and he demanded I come back or get arrested. When I did, all he told me was to stay off property and said, "You can leave now and get out of my face!" He could have told me that on the phone and I wouldn't have been late to work. He's a little immature, power hungry, abusing mule (for another name though) and do not appreciate it. I will make sure my relative that's worked for you guys for 30 years will quit or make a scene with that loser because I really just wanted to handle it myself and maybe one day hopefully I will. The employees at Wal-Mart are terrible and think they know it all. Now, if they had been nice, I would have helped them out and told them a lot of others that steal from them. So go ahead and keep losing.

I asked the salesperson, "How do I apply for a Walmart Credit Card?" He told me, "only at customer service." I went to customer service but they told me since I did not have a license, to use the shopping pass machine which I did and was approved. I went back to the same salesperson to buy a 1200 dollar TV and he was very rude and told me I could not buy anything without a driver's license. I explained to him that customer service told me if I did not have a license, the quick shopping pass would cover it. The salesperson called a salesperson to aid him and she was just as bad, very rude. I told her my credit score was 780. She said it didn't make a difference, "you" need a driver's license. At that point, I told them I would not be taking the TV with me. I just wanted Walmart to know that their sales people should be trained in people skills.

I looked at their flyer. My daughter has her heart set on a pink or mint green desk and chair. I went in today to get one (I thought my chances would be good being the first day of the sale) but I was wrong. They didn't have any. They didn't know if they were going to get some. I just think it is terrible to advertise things that they don’t have. We also went to the North Conway store and the same thing there. I guess my question is how can you do that? I also work in retail and I would lose my job for something like not having sale items.

I went to buy some paint. No one was in that department. I had a representative call for a page for someone to come to paint to assist. The same representative had to make a second call before page was given by someone who could barely speak English or be understood over the intercom. Same rep then went up front and asked for someone to come to the paint department. In the meantime, another gentleman came looking for paint also. This man went to get us some assistance two different times. We both still waited and we left after a total of 25 minutes. I had to buy some vitamins. So at the front register, I asked for the manager and she was right there in less than a minute. Her response was, “We can go back there and I will get someone to assist you.”

I have always shopped at Wal-Mart because of the excellent service and prices they offer. I sent an American Express Gift card for my son and his family on 7/2/09. I live in HI. My son lives in TX. They received the card within less than a week. When they tried to use it, it was declined. My son recently moved to TX and is just getting established. He has 2 young children. They needed to purchase food.

If you go to Wal-Mart to save money, think twice, or at least take somebody else with you to keep a close eye on what the cashier is typing in the meantime you're putting your things on the counter. Be careful! The cashier always mark the same item 2 or 3 times! Apparently, they don't know how to count. Maybe, they didn't go to school.

I never buy any meat from Super Walmart in Peoria, AZ, but this one time I forgot to buy the chicken thighs I needed for my homemade soup. So I picked up a package at Super Walmart, even after I was told by a few of my friends that their meat was terrible. I had no choice. When I got it home to transfer the package to a freezer bag, it smelled so bad it almost made me gag. So I washed it, removed the fat, bagged it and put it in the freezer for the next day. When I went to use it the next day, it still smelled awful. So I then threw it out, wrapping it carefully so the smell would not travel, and took it out to the dumpster. I was so angry I told my neighbor about it and she said that happened to her twice. I will never, ever buy meat at Super Walmart again no matter how desperate I am. It’s not a big deal in economic damage since it was only about $4.00 and change for these thighs, but I am worried about the physical damage this may cause others.

I bought a Visa Prepaid card and lost the pin #. The price of the card was $3.95; the amount put on the card was $30. They will not help in any way to get my card activated .They were rude and very outspoken . All I want is my money. I live on a fixed income and $30 is a lot to me. I bought the card in May.

I was standing behind a woman with a real full basket getting checked out at 20 items or less checkout. I do not understand how you can put a sign up indicating 20 or less items and then check out someone with an overloaded basket. This should not be. They should be told to go to another checkout. Needless to say, I was very upset over this. Do not put the signs up and then not honor that. Thank you for your time.

I purchased a television from Wal-Mart. The set was six months when I tried to return the television because I no longer was receiving a picture. When I tried to return it, they told me they couldn’t do anything for I would have to go through the company that made the television. I have the receipt, box, cables, and book that came with the TV. When I called the vendor, they said you will have to send the TV in and they will repair the TV, and send it back. So in the meantime, I have no TV and out $300.00, and Wal-Mart and their vendor do nothing. I will never buy any large ticket from Wal-Mart again.

I went to your store in Greenville, Texas; and I bought a king-size air mattress for my grandkids. When I got it home, it would blow up. But the next morning, it would be flat; they would be on the floor. I told my daughter to take it back, and she did; but they told her they not supposed to take it back. She asked if they could put the amount on a gift card, because she did not want a new one because her father get the babies a real bed. One thing, I thought that your stores take their stuff back when it is no good. What can I do with an air mattress that won't hold air. The kids were in a hole when I got up the next morning.

Every time I visit this store to buy canned Friskies cat food, they always charge me for an extra can! It's only $0.44 per can, but this has been going on for well over a year. Sometimes, I take the receipt with me when I go back the next time but usually, I don't. If I do take it with me for a refund, I have to stand in the customer service line and that is a waste of my time compared to the $0.44 plus $0.03 sales tax I'll get back. As it is an every time occurrence, I feel it is a purposeful and intentional scam perpetrated on the public. They take the chance that the customer won't notice or is too lazy to resolve it.

I just don't understand why you took the benches away from the front of the store as you go out. I am a senior and need the benches. You must not care anything about us seniors. I am not going around and behind the drink machines as it’s too far to walk. I can go back to the car before I can walk there. Please put the benches back for us seniors. If not, I guess I will go elsewhere. Here's hopping you do care for us.

I had two shirts with receipt to return. It took 20 minutes just to return these. Now, I had an experience at the Wal-Mart in De Queen, AR. I bought a pair of shorts with tags still on them. I got the wrong size and went in to get the right size. She said I had to have the receipt to exchange the size. Now, this is crazy since I wasn't wanting to return them for cash back or anything. So I went back home, got the receipt, and then, I got my money back.

They sold me an HDTV 36" Sharp valued at $350. Two days after purchase, the screen cracked and defective leaving the TV beyond repair. I asked the store to exchange the TV. I did not even ask for cash back. I wanted my TV which I saved for a long time to buy. I'm on Social Security. They being Wal-Mart refused to exchange the TV without a box. They did not give me a box! It was a closeout. So they will not take the TV, I only had it for three days. The Sharp company says it's Wal-Mart's responsibility, not theirs.

I was shopping at the Wal-Mart above where they sell a product called Nardones Pizza, which comes in a box with a price on the package. The pizza is pre-priced at $5.99 and it is sold this way in every store. As a matter of fact, it is only sold in the pre-priced box. The Wal-Mart store above has put white stickers over the pre-priced amount and is charging $6.76 for this item. They store is making the customer pay more for the product than the company charges. There is almost a one dollar mark up on the product.

I bought two fish yesterday. As we were leaving the store, two women that were also leaving the store approached us, telling us our fish would be dead in the morning because we have carried our plastic sack of fish through the scanners as we left the store. They said the exit scanners damaged the ears of the fish, which would result in death. We laughed about it the entire afternoon, but this morning our fish are dead. Does anyone else know about this or have you heard of it? We thought it was a joke and maybe it is. One of the ladies that told this said she was a former Wal-Mart employee.

I carried my grand daughter and her husband to our local Wall-Mart Super Center last night where they found a TV stand for $19.00. When we got to the check out, it rang up $24.00. I had checked the bar code number and it matched the number on the sticker on the shelf with the $19.00 price. After they were made to pay $24.00, I went back and checked and found that it was stocked in both the $24.00 and the $19.00 spots. Like most on a limited income, they had counted their money and figured they had enough to buy the item. Stockers should not put items they do not have room for in another spot on the shelf as that is very confusing.

After three light applications of Equate's Moisturizing for Extra Dry Skin Body Wash, with Shea butter and vitamins, I noticed burning and redness overall. This is an unusable body wash for me. I must be allergic to some ingredients. I realize I cannot return it, and I don't have the sales slip anymore, but I think the product should warn of possible allergic reactions.

This past Sunday, June 28, 2009, my family and I were at the Walmart located at Livermore, CA 94550. My son and I decided to visit the pet department with the dozens of fish tanks and many varieties of pet fish. As we began to view the fish, we took notice that almost every tank contained at least one dead and/or decaying fish. To make matters worse, we noticed that living fish were feasting on dead carcasses.

I went to Walmart and returned my Net10 phone and exchanged it. The lady was helpful and nice but there was a cost difference in the phones and the service rep refused to refund the difference and was very rude and hateful. I find it false when Walmart refuses to honor the products they sell. I felt insulted and the rudeness was very unprofessional. I was treated with no dignity and no respect. It bothered me that Walmart employs such people who treat a customer that way. She told me she couldn't help me and basically told me to **.

July 1, 2009, we were in the store about 6:00 PM, a lot of the shelves were bare. We could not find products we usually buy at Wal-Mart. Also, we could not find an employee to ask for help. As we were checking out, my husband went to the customer service desk and asks to speak to a supervisor. He asked about a product, they didn't know if it was available or not. Did not try to help find it or call someone to help.

I was out of town in an area where there was not a Walmart store so I sent my daughter to make a payment to my account. It was due on 6/29/09. She was told that she could not make the payment. I had given her the necessary information but she did not have the card or the bill with her. I understand the policy of the store; however, the personnel was rude and disrespectful to her.

We went to go use the bottle return. All of the cans/plastic machines were not working except for one. We used that one, which soon stopped working. We had to wait for a long time for someone to come fix the machine. When they did, the person was rude. We also only had 2 machines fixed and they kept messing up and not letting us return bottles. After about 45 minutes of trying to return bottles with the machines going down and them constantly messing up, we decided to leave. We took our money and went to Meijer’s, whose machines worked fine. We did not even get done returning all of our bottles and had to take the rest to Meijer’s.

I was in Wal-Mart shopping and it was so hot, I had to pull my sweat rag out of my purse to wipe my face. I was told Wal-Mart is cutting down the air and shutting it off at night. I have a breathing problem with 2 spots on my lungs and I can’t breathe if it is so hot.

I went shopping at the Walmart across the street from my residence and was in the store for about 30-45 minutes. My mouth became dry and I started to feel funny. When I reached the register, I desperately searched for a drink as I was very hot and thirsty. It was at this time I realized there was no air conditioning in the store! We have had 90-plus degree weather and daily heat advisories. I was almost ready to pass out and I'm only 28 years old. I can't imagine how OSHA could permit all the employees and senior citizens going into this store and the potential for heat exhaustion. Something needs to be done about this. I am posting this hoping whoever sees this can notify the correct people as I'm still looking into this. It made me very upset as a customer that Walmart would be so neglectful. I believe the company has the financial capacity to provide this basic necessity for its customers and employees.

Bought a 42" Vizio TV to bring it home and find out that it had obviously been used and returned. The scratches on the back were a dead giveaway that someone had it hanging on their wall already. After spending $600, I was very unhappy with the picture quality, so of course, I go to return it just to find out that the TV serial numbers do not match the numbers on the box.

The receipt offers $1,000 possible winner after a survey. Open the website and it says you are a winner, proceed to get your $1,000 Walmart shopping card. They gather private information then start offers after offer with your private information already inserted to the products you don't take and keep skipping ahead until the end. Buy these first and then you might be eligible for the $1,000 shopping card. Well, I canceled everything but too late after they inserted my personal information into about 15 product databases. This is a bold faced scam. I booted up my email and there they were, 15 offers to go to college to flying to the moon. This is outrageous, an invasion of privacy, a manipulation on the Walmart's name and I will never buy anything from Walmart and will be telling my friends of the scam.

The receipt offers $1,000 possible winner after a survey. Open the website and it says “You are a winner, proceed to get your $1,000 Wal-Mart shopping card.” They gather private information then start offers after offer with your private information already inserted to the products you don't take, and keep skipping ahead until the end, “buy these first” and then you might be eligible for the $1,000 shopping card.

I went into your store to do shopping and to my surprise you did not have any cat food. I asked if they were relocating this aisle and they told me no, that they were taking inventory and they wouldn't restock until the inventory was finished. So I left what I had in the shopping cart and left and went to Wegmans and got all that I needed and did not have the aggravation that I had at Wal-Mart.

I bought a fryer last night about 7pm. I got home to find it full of fish grease. I called customer service and told them about the situation. I was told by Jessica, the CS rep, that this kind of thing happens "all the time" and that I did not need to raise my voice or get upset. I told her I was upset. She then told me to quit being an ** and gave the phone to a manager.

As a front end cashier, I was offered a different position within the accounting dept. as an overnight shift accounting clerk which included an extra .50 cents per hour differential pay as stated in the employee handbook. After 3 payday periods went past, I was never compensated for the shift differential pay. I brought it to the district manager's attention via multiple emails and phone call discussions and I was told by Craig ** with Wal-Mart that my non-pay wage was "trivial". This caused me mental and emotional distress as well as getting blacked marked with Wal-Mart. Now I'm not eligible for re-hire. Please help me get what I deserve and let Wal-Mart know they are not allowed to mistreat their hard working dedicated workers by not paying them what they earned.

I was in your store, Wal-Mart, today and watched the service people suffer in the 100+ degree heat that they were working in. I asked one of the TLE personel if they had any air conditioning for their work area. He said, "No, it doesn't work. We only have these evaporative coolers and they are threatening to take them away from us. We have a large evaporative unit on the roof but they won't fix it. It's been like this for two years." There is no way I would work any employees under these conditions. You are putting these people's lives in jeopardy because of the extreme heat. You get out of your climate controlled office and go to work for one hour in a hot box. See how you feel and how well you can operate. Don't tell me that you cannot afford to repair one evaporative cooling unit. You all waste more in five minutes than it would cost to repair that unit. Get up and fix their cooling unit before you have someone drop because of heatstroke! That hospital bill will sure be more than a repair bill on a cooling unit. You just don't treat employees like this.

I went to return a digital camera, they had to call electronic. Fifteen minutes passed because Photo was closed and Marcus was on lunch, but there should have been someone there to do Marcus's job, so I shouted loud after asking the clerk to call the manager, “Could a manager please come to customer service?”. The girl who look like a guy came but did not identify herself and just threatened to put me out if I didn't lower my voice. I said I will put my pride in my pocket, at least I got service. All Marcus did was look in the box, made sure everything was there - the same thing the customer service person could have done. Customer service at Walmart is getting worse with every new store that opens up. I like Walmart but I will go to the little man dollar store before I continue to deal with service as such.

I am a business owner in the area and shop at this Walmart almost daily. I went there this morning and purchased $66.00 worth of goods. Upon entering the check lane I discovered my cell phone had been removed from the front pocket of my purse. I had taken it out of my bra and put it in my purse right before entering the store. My purse was in the child carrier section of the buggy. I asked the check out clerk to please call my number and see if it would ring, which she did. It went immediately to voice mail. That meant it had been turned off and I never turn it off because it is for my business.

I have bought fish and accessories from Wal-Mart before, because that is where I usually go since I am a mother of three and have no time for going all over the place. I have bought fish and they have died. But just last week, I bought two of those miniature catfish. The next thing I know, all my fish are covered in ick. I had to treat the aquarium and my fishes are still looking bad. Not to mention the two fishes that I bought from Wal-Mart, died. Also as mentioned here, the conditions are terrible. Something needs to be done!

I shop a lot at Wal-Mart, because I enjoy the big discount items, the items that are moved from their department to a separate section (isle) that is major mark downs. On 6/21/09, I purchased 8 items at the self-checkout, self-checkout because that's where I check-out every time when in Wal-Mart. No problems while shopping are checking out except the 4th item scanned, it didn’t register that I had already dropped in the bagging. The cashier had excellent view of my scans and products, and not a problem when she cleared the scanner for me to continue checking out. Paid with cash, got a receipt and change. I waited for my friend to check out at the same spot, we continued to exit out of the right front side of store door. The clerk greeted us to 'have a nice evening' and took my baggy, he was very nice.

This complaint is a little late because I didn't know about this consumer complaint source. On 01-01-09, I went to Walmart, where I like to do my one stop shopping. Phillas was one of the front door greeters (but anything than that!) I am a disabled veteran and use a handicapped cart. When the other greeter Cookie sees me coming, she gets the scooter out for me and then when I leave, she helps me transfer my merchandise to a regular buggy because Walmart won't let me take it to my car where other grocery stores not only let me take it to my car they send a clerk to help me. Well, I knew from previous visits that Phillas wasn't going to help me because she is too busy visiting with friends or other employees.

Of course, my complaint of no one helping you is probably as much a general complaint as any but I do have one that I and others just can't get accustomed to. We pay for our purchases at the cash register. With our purse and or wallets open, we carefully wrap our receipt around our card and snug it away for safety. Then we leave from the cash register to the exit door to now be stopped by another worker wanting to see our ticket. I just left the cash register so if they are concerned something is not correct, why not pull the cashier's ticket and not make us stop in the middle of traffic and unsecure what we have just so carefully secured safely away.

Why are there so many self checkouts? They will all be open and only about 4 cashiers on a Saturday night! I know that I could check my self out as well as any of your cashiers (and better than most! I was a cashier myself for several years.), but I was taught a customer should be shown appreciation when they shopped with you. Whatever happened to the personal touch? Not to mention, how human beings could use the job!

I recently purchased a Visa gift card from my local credit union and sent it to a friend. My friend tried to use it at your store #0995 on June 20, 2009. This was more than your cashier could handle. So after some time of trying to use it for his purchases and holding up the customers in the checkout lane, she told my friend that he would have to pay cash for his merchandise. I knew the card was good as I purchased it myself with cash and have worked retail some 30+ years and have accepted many bank generated gift cards. Do you think your employees might need to be better trained in this matter? Needless to say, my friend left your store completely insulted and embarrassed!

Walmart continues to deplete the character that originally made Sam Walton's philosophy their customer service tradition: "Customers first". It would seem that children ran the company these days. Last night I went into Walmart Conway SC. Because of difficulty in finding a video cam, I saw a manager who was talking to one of the employees about a TV that she had bought, and was not working. He was instructing her in the steps she needed go through to get satisfaction. I waited and waited on him to no avail. I began searching again but still couldn't find it.

I shop at the Ocoee, Florida Wal-Mart just about every day. It has the rudest people working in it that I have ever had to deal with. I have met only one lady in this whole super Wal-Mart that is nice and her name is Linda. She is the door greeter. I think this store needs a class on being nice to the customers and letting Linda be their teacher and it might be a better Wal-Mart. I have talked to the so called managers of this not so super Wal-Mart but I think the complaints don’t go any further. The people that work at this Wal-Mart need to remember if it wasn’t for people going shopping at this Wal-Mart, then they wouldn't have a job. So they must not forget where their dollars come from. Thanks.

Walmart used to be a favorite place to shop till 6/19/2009 at 6:15PM. The manager's name was Tavorris. I asked the vegetable/produce associate person that the paper roll was empty and I was shifting through the cherries of which the bags were wet/leaking. Thus, I was hoping he will just get the paper. Anyhow, while I was waiting outside the area, I peeked inside and yelled for somebody in a friendly tone like hello. The person came and accused me of calling him names and he started calling me names and stuff like "why don't you come inside and we will take it up there". He was either hearing wrong or stressed out. So I asked for the manager and waited another 30 minutes for him to arrive.

I bought a plunger. The only plunger that was even in stock at the store. The plunger was $2.97. I love shopping at Wal-Mart and have always thought that they have fair prices for products. But this is by far the worst $3 I have spent ever. The plunger that I bought is so flimsy that it turns inside out the instant you put it in the toilet. I have bought a better plunger from the Dollar Store before.

I went into the new Wal-mart store in Jefferson City, MO and was really disappointed about the service. I waited at the deli counter for 15 minutes for the man to find an opened package of meat I had wanted then I had to wait for him to find the right slicer to use. When I went to check out, the cashier didn't know whom to give cash back on a check. I had my four-year old grandson with me and he was waiting very impatiently and running off before I could finish my transaction.

An employee of Wal-Mart was intoxicated during work hours. I saw him drinking beer out of his car, I guess during break time. I'm a loyal customer of Wal-Mart but what is going on with your employees? Nevertheless, the managers/security are supposed to be watching. What's going on?

I frequently visit several different Wal-Marts in our area. This is Texas in the summer, and it is hot! I've noticed the stores getting hotter and hotter, and upon inquiring, I have been told that corporate has told the Wal-Mart stores to stop keeping the stores as cool. At one store, I have witnessed an ambulance outside the store, picking someone up on three different occasions. Could this be heat related? As much money as they bring in every year, I think they can afford to keep the store cool. I'm going to Target.

I am a 53-year old man that shops at this store on an average of two times a week. I am also disable and depend on the riding carts at the stores. The problem is every time I go in your store to shop and use one of those carts, in less than 15 minutes, it runs out of power. Now, your store staff has always been courteous when this happens and that's a good thing. But their comments without them knowing it border on being an oxymoron. They politely tell you when you're getting on the carts, "Oh, this one's green. It should work and if it stops, come get another one." The thing that immediately comes to mind is "how?"

This is a follow up to the complaint I sent on June 14, 2009. Walmart has resolved the situation in a reasonable manner. They actually upgraded the console to a bundled package. I'm a bit confused. Walmart stated they were unable to reach anyone in authority at Sony. According to two different people at Walmart, one a district manager, the only phone number they had for Sony was the 1-800 customer service number. It seems odd, that two large corporations who have a business arrangement, have no way to communicate with each other when they have problems or concerns. I would suggest consumers check the contents of purchases prior to leaving the store. Also, if your item has a serial number, be sure the serial number on the box matches the serial number on the item itself.

The store is so warm by the time i get to check it, it felt like I've been in a sauna.

My husband has rheumatoid arthritis and cannot walk very much. This store has several carts for disabled people, however, when we go in most of the time there are no carts available. My husband will sit up front until one is available or I get through shopping. But what is so upsetting is the people on these carts. People, kids that are quite capable of walking. Adults and kids playing on them. They are taking advantages of this service and hurting seniors that need this service. Door greeters say they cannot say anything to these people because the manager will not do anything about it. I think this policy should change and those carts be available for people that you can see by their appearance that they need these carts. We would appreciate if you could assist in this problem. Thank you.

I purchased a 37" Polaroid LCD HDTV in December 2007 after returning from Iraq. Two weeks ago, it went blank and only the blue light will come on, nothing else. I took the TV due to misplacing my warranty and receipt back to Walmart with box, plastic, books and all and explained my situation and they told me to give them the exact date of purchase and they may be able to look up my warranty information. I have since spent $30 on credit card receipt retrievals which has been a waste of time. This was a gift to myself for multiple combat tours and having been wounded during two conflicts. Now, I am out a total of $1430 for wall mount, warranty and TV that is useless. I thought there were laws about this sort of thing. I'm not sure Wal-Mart needs anymore black eyes but this one will soon be coming from the disabled American Veterans.

Wal-Mart's fish department is gruesome. Even though their prices may be a little cheaper than most fish stores, they don't have the experience needed to sell fish. I have witnessed on many occasions where the fishes are dead or dying and left in the tank. There are so many issues concerning the improper handling and care by Wal-Mart employees. I am not, however, putting a blame on the employees. It's Wal-Mart itself that chooses to sell but don't have the people necessary to care or handle this department.

I had used a coupon from the computer several times at this store, yet today I was told Walmart did not honor these coupons. I felt like they did not believe I previously used this type of coupon at this store before. Not only had I used it at this store, but at the Walmart in Jacksonville, NC. I did not make a scene, I only told them Food Lion would and had honored this coupon. What is the problem? I was made to feel like I was doing something wrong. I did not see in the store anywhere that you do not accept this coupon. It was a coupon for Velveeta Cheese and Reynolds Wrap. Why do you not accept these coupon? There were other people around and I was made to feel like I was doing something wrong as well as holding up the line behind me.

I've been to Wal-Mart twice and the items I wanted were out of stock. I’ve seen a lot of empty shelves in the last week and the cashers are the most unfriendly people. Most of the time, they don't say thank you or nothing. Wal-Mart is the only store of that kind in town.

I purchased a flat screen LCD TV on 12/22/08. This TV broke 04/15/09. In store warranty was purchased at the time of purchase, TV broke 4/15/08. TV was sent to customer care for repair. I called to see if my TV was repaired and sent out. A part is expected in 06/25/09. It will be repaired and sent back after that date. I have no TV for over 2 months, no money back, no satisfaction.

Not once, not twice, but again and again, only one lane out of twenty is open. A long line was formed, and when I asked where the other cashiers were, I'm told to wait a minute. I've bought food from the deli, rushed to the line, only to take 25 minutes to get through the "express" lane. I finally started putting down the food and telling them I'm not eating cold, stale deli food. I've left cart after cart because of the slow service.

My husband was doing an online survey supposedly on Walmart website where we would be eligible for $1000, and gave them our phone number. On our AT&T bill was a charge of $9.99 for subscription to News Prediction game by Predicto. I am furious. I haven't called AT&T yet, but I will. I will not pay for this. I have canceled by texting "stop" to the short code. We have learned a lesson, but what can be done to stop this?

I had just heard a friend of mine tell me last week why he doesn't shop at Walmart anymore because of the long lines. Well, listen to this, all of you hard working consumers. I had just got off from work and when I arrived home, I realized that I had forgotten to pick up some blank CDs for some music I was recording. So I decided to go to my neighborhood Walmart. There I find the blank CDs that I needed and proceeded to the counter to pay at the department with one customer in front of me, and the clerk tells me that the customer in front of me was his last customer of the night. So I said, “Oh, well,” and proceeded to the front checkout lines only to find only 5 registers open on a Saturday night around 10:00 pm. Each line had a minimum of about 40 people and this is at minimum.

My husband and I went to Walmart Store #2256 in Henderson at 21:45 in the evening to pickup something for our pool. The store was full. There was only three registers open at the front of the store, four at the most. We went to the jewelry counter and checked out along with a lot of other people. The front registers that were open were lined up all the way down the aisles. This is very poor management! I asked the greeter at the door where I could complain, she told me to call or email Walmart Customer Service. She said she had a few customers say that just left their stuff, and that they were not going to wait in those long lines. I see on my receipt that the manager is Richard **. Well, they need to do something with him before they lose all their customers.

I purchased PlayStation 3 console, one game and an extra controller. I went home, plugged in the machine, opened the game CD and found the console did not work. 45 minutes after purchase, I returned to the store to exchange it. Yes, I had the receipt. I was told the serial number of the console did not match serial number on the box. Unfortunately, they did not check the console serial number when I paid and I did not know there was a potential for discrepancy. Had I been aware there was potential for a problem, I would have asked the clerk to compare serial numbers prior to purchase. I then attempted to return the game, it is useless without a functioning PS3. The store refused to refund/exchange the game. I would strongly suggest folks purchasing a big ticket item, check the serial number of the actual item against the one on the box and do so in front of the store clerk.

I went to Walmart today, June 13, 2009, to purchase a new movie titled Grand Torino. The movies were in a large hard plastic containers containing 2 to 4 movies. I asked a clerk, "why only this movie was in the container?". He stated because of theft. I am not going to walk around Walmart with 2, 3 or 4 movies in a plastic container shopping and then have to go to checkout and have them to remove the movie. I asked the clerk if he could remove the movie and he stated no, he was to busy talking to a female employee. Walmart, you just lost me as a movie customer. I will purchase my movies somewhere else from now on. Get real Walmart, your monopoly is slipping. I think I will try K-mart from now on.

I made a purchase online and there was a problem with my card so the order was canceled by Walmart. But the amount was still showing up on my credit card. I asked Walmart to send a fax (which was requested by my bank) to my bank saying that the order was canceled, because that was the only way my bank would reverse the money. This request was made on June 7.

They act like it is a lot of trouble for them to use the bags. When they are stocking shelves, they are invariably in the middle of the aisle and they act like it is irritating them when you excuse yourself to get pass. I have shopped in this store since it was built but I don't know for how much longer. Thanks for listening!

I shop at the Layton Wal-Mart all the time. I do all my grocery shopping there mainly because they’re the only place in Layton that carries Yoo-hoo drinks. Now, they haven’t had any the last couple of times I have went there. I have talked to the employees that work in the grocery department and they all told me that they would order some more. I have went to Wal-Mart several times since then and there is still no Yoo-hoo in the 16 oz cans that my husband likes to take in his lunch. I am very discouraged because I feel that I have been lied to. I have thought about asking at Smith’s grocery store and see if they would or could carry them in their store.

I recently bought a new window unit (AC) for my mom. This unit did not have a guard over the coils the coils are totally out in the open. There are screw holes and nothing says that it doesn’t have a guard. Therefore, I returned to the store and we opened another one and found no guard. This unit was $439 + tax. This makes the unit look cheap and for GE to save a few dollars, I think [they] will cheap themselves right out of business. Personally, I would pay the extra bucks for the guard and considering that the other four units on the house have them. This says don’t buy that brand anymore.

While shopping at Walmart, I have noticed the improper conditions in which they keep their Betta fish. I already spoke to their management but since they aren't knowledgeable on how to properly care for fish (and since they aren't a pet store), they don't see any problem with it. The Betta fish are all kept in individual cups which is unfortunately a protocol, but with very little water in the cups--barely enough to cover their little top fins. The manager's solution at one point was to just pour more water into the cups and I had to tell him that you have to add a water conditioner to remove the harmful chemicals for the fish. My point is, Walmart is not a pet store and should not carry live animals that they have no idea how to care for.

Last week I bought bananas, peaches, and avocados, which were all inedible. The peaches stayed rock hard until they shriveled up, the avocados had brown streaks while they were not too ripe, and the bananas were dried up with no flavor. I called the produce manager who said there were no other complaints, which I can't imagine, and she did say she was sorry for the inconvenience.

There were cards all over the store that suggested that when you purchased $250 or more, it was 12 months same as cash, then I was informed that they all expired May 31, 2009. When asked, there was another 12 month program in effect, no one seemed to know about it.

I was injured at work almost 2 months ago. I immediately went to a member of management and told them exactly what happened. The manager denied the incident because he did not fill out a report as he is required to do. Now, almost 2 months later, they tried to get me to change my story by bullying me in an office with 4 managers and myself alone. I stuck to my story. Then, they said they had an associate that gave them a written statement saying he or she saw me running in the park with my children (completely false by the way). They wanted me to see their doctor but I didn't. Under Pennsylvania law, if your employer does not have their doctor’s information posted in the employee areas, you are free to see your own doctor.

I am a loyal customer of Wal-Mart and have been for over 10 years. I shop at the Wal-Mart in Mechanicsville, VA, and I have always had pleasant experiences with that store until today. I purchased a Power Washer on September 2008. I purchased it at the end of the season, hoping to get an "end of season" price. But nevertheless, I got a good price. I didn't use it until April 2009. I loved it. I made an attempt to use it again in June when I noticed it had a leak. I took it back, hoping to exchange it. I had my receipt, and the power washer still looked new. But, it just leaked; so i just wanted to swap it out.

I have been a Wal-Mart customer for many years. I am very angry and upset with your Customer Survey site; I tried to enter for a chance to win a $1,000.00 gift card of which, I did not get to enter. After entering my personal information to the site, many other pages came up and I am now receiving emails from all of these sites. I had not given Wal-Mart permission to disclose any of my information. I want this to stop. You have violated my personal space and information, also my trust in Wal-Mart.

My experiences with the store in my town has been the most intensely unsatisfactory I can imagine. I bought a CD at the local store here in Ridgecrest and discovered that the music that was supposed to be on the disk wasn't there. When I brought it to the attention of the manager, he said "too bad, but we will not refund your money". I complained to the main office in Arkansas and received no response. Other times when I have shopped there, either the cashier failed to make the proper change or didn't understand how to perform her job. I was shopping for a new TV on another visit and the clerk in the department had no information at all the TV on display when I asked her for information about it.

I asked my 24-year old son, who is in the Army and has served overseas, to go to Wal-Mart to purchase some groceries and wine for me. He has done so countless of times before. At the checkout he put the wine on the counter first, whereupon he said the clerk (who he said had been extremely rude to him already) told him he had to have all three persons in his party give their ID cards! My son said the clerk was never pleasant at any time, only obstinate! My son responded that he had been in the very same Wal-Mart many times and that he was not going to have everyone with him have to show their IDs! My son said the clerk then responded "Welcome to Wal-Mart!" very sarcastically! So, my son then told the clerk to take the wine and put it back on the shelves.

I went to Walmart to cash a check today. After taking my license and copying the information on the check, I was told that I needed to input my Social Security number into a swipe machine, as well as relinquishing my DL number when it is my understanding that only one would suffice. Please tell me why both are needed? There is a greater chance that someone will steal my identity considering today's economy.

Well, I and my two children went to Walmart today and this incident happened roughly around 1 pm. As my 4-year-old son was using the toilet, and myself and my 6-year-old daughter were waiting for my son to finish up, a black female was screaming out, “If you don’t hurry up in there, I am going to beat your **.” Keep in mind this restroom has only two stalls as my children and I were taking up one of them and two little girls were taking up the other stall. So I had opened the door and said, “Excuse me, ma’am, but who are you talking to?” She said, “I’m ** talking to you, **.” I replied, “I’m sorry, ma’am, but my 4-year-old son is on the toilet and there is nothing I can do, so you are going to have to wait like everyone else.” The black female yelled at me again saying, “You better get his ** off the ** toilet right now cause if I peed on my clothes, I am going to beat your guy’s **, and drag him off the toilet myself.” I then yelled at her and said, “Don’t you tell me that because my son has cystic fibrosis, and he can’t help that he is using the toilet and there isn’t enough stalls, so you have to wait, and you don’t have any right talking to me like that.”

I bought a 50-pound bag of dog food a week ago. I was feeling my dog bowl up and nosed there was mold in the dog food. Then I looked at the bag, and I noticed that the date on the dog bag was "use by Nov 05." My dog have eaten a lot of the dog food. What should I do?

I'm 13. I know a lot about fish. That's all I do; it's my thing. I went to Walmart to buy a few stuff like chemicals or filter cartridges but today I wanted to buy a few Neons. I looked for support and found a person. He called for someone. No one came. I tried a different person. No one came so I got another different person. He helped; I asked for Neons. He gave me 2 Neons that were dying and one that was not even a Neon, so I took them home and they died when I got inside (I rode my bike with the fish 3 miles from home; they live for months in my tank from our local fish store). Walmart tanks are using one filter so that's always bad for Cichlids (in tropical tanks) goldfish and tropical fish. They had Plecos in very clean tanks and the very dirty tanks were just fish suffering. There were lots of dead fish eaten and dying, not to mention all going through the same filter. Bettas are in these tanks there either dead or trying to kill the other fish. I'm about ready to work there for free and clean the tanks and give the fishes second chances. Please only go to Walmart for fish chemicals or filter stuff, never fish!

I am very unhappy about the aquarium departments of Walmart. Two separate stores always have diseased fish or at times are unkempt. In particular, is the selling of a very special fish called a green spotted puffer. They are far too small as babies and sensitive to sell - it's extremely difficult to keep because they need to be kept by species only. They require a special diet of snails and blood worms. Most of the little babies I have seen suffer terribly in both your stores, barely hanging on most with Ick and other parasites. These are extremely intelligent little fish. I honestly would say these Walmarts might sell 5 out of an entire tank of 20 plus. I rescued one that would have died a horrible slow death. Most associates know nothing about what to tell customers about these fish either. Having all the tanks on one filter system is horrible for all the fish - tap water should never be used either. With the Betta fish, sometimes many are dead or have 1/2 inch of water (polluted) to live in. Please do something. I don't feel the customers should see this kind of abuse.

I bought a GE digital coffeemaker, model 169164, this morning. I brought it home, plugged it up, set the time, washed the pot and started to run plain water through the pot to clean. The coffeemaker came on okay and began to drip water for about 30 seconds, then beeped twice and cut off. I thought maybe I had done something wrong so I started over again. I unplugged it, plugged in again, put in more water, mashed the button to begin and it did exactly the same thing. So I guess tomorrow, I'll return to Walmart with my receipt and let them have this defective coffeemaker to do with as they choose. Hopefully they won't put it back on the shelf for someone else to have to go through this nonsense. I wish I had read all these remarks/reviews before purchasing this THING and I put that in caps because it's certainly not a coffeemaker!

For all you people complaining about video games, if it has been opened, no one (not just Walmart) will refund your money. The most they will do is exchange it for the same item. Also, it is not just Walmart that gives people a hard time when returning things. I have never (knock on wood) had a hard time returning anything at Walmart because I use common sense when buying and returning things. Never, and I mean never, buy any expensive electronics at Walmart. Go to Best Buy or any other electronics store and always save your receipt. You never know when you might need it. Just pick a drawer at your house and stockpile them.

I ordered a PN-40 three days ago. I paid for one day shipping. I got the GPS two days later only to find out that the GPS which I bought was not new. It was previously used. The PN-40 was not functional, scratched up and re-packaged and sold as new... very illegal. I contacted Walmart which was extremely difficult as there was no phone number anywhere to be found! I had to find a phone by googling Walmart customer service number. I went 15 rounds with them. Strangely enough, the customer support person knew exactly what had happened to me, the first red flag. It seems that it happens very often to a lot of people. They made it possible to send it back by sending me a prepaid mail label back to Walmart (nice). They refunded the one day shipping charge, reordered another GPS to me but sent it ground!

I went in and got some fishes and some fish stuff and I had no cash on me to pay for it, so I gave the cashier my credit card and my ID and they refused. I mean like it was a valid credit card and a valid ID and they wouldn't take it and they refuse to sell it to me. I think Walmart has taken advantages on certain things. I think that they should have let me use my credit card. I see no reason not to.

I placed an order only for personalized ring from Walmart.com on April 30, 2009. They gave me between May 4th and May 17th of 2009 to receive the order mailed to my house. I have been waiting for about 3 weeks with or without the weekends included and it always say that my order is being processed. It is taking entirely too long for 1 item, and for future references, I will not order things online with Walmart.
