Wal-Mart Reviews

I went into Walmart around 11:30am on 11/16/08 to shop. I was in a hurry when I left the house so I just put on anything (old sweat pant & husband's too big sweat jacket, a head scarf and a knit hat on my head). With me being a ** female, I supposed I looked like a "lesser" individual to some people. Anyway, I took a cart and entered the dairy area of the store to purchase some Yoplait yogurt. As I approached the dairy case, a man who appeared to be a store manager, dressed in a pair of dress slacks, shirt possibly a tie, was stocking the refrigerated case with more yogurt. He had the glass door to the case open wide which left very little room for other to get by.

I was shopping at Calera Walmart and found that I had bought some meat, and they're out of date.

I was just about to buy a Walmart bike. Thank goodness I read the complaint about the former customer who purchased a bike from you for which you do not stock tires, and then gave him such a hard time. No soup for you.

I am trying to settle a dispute with your jewelry dept concerning a return of a tennis bracelet. Walmart is giving me NO satisfaction whatsoever. This is a relatively simple matter if only someone would listen and take "customer service" seriously. A reply to this email will convince me I have a interested party. If not WalMart is just another cheap store.

I have been to this store on so many different occasions and I recently noticed that I was being overcharged by a couple of cents. Then on my second visit, I was overcharged by 33 cents, on my third trip also so I send a complaint to the store and I was told that they were going to address the problem. Well, I went back to the store and their prices on the shelf rarely match the prices that the register rings up... So I looked around and they had rollback price tags that said one thing and a huge sign with another price for the same item.

I purchased three containers of the Great Value Buttermilk Biscuits from this store. About a week later, I opened them to prepare for dinner. To my shock, there was something rock hard in several of the rolls as I separated them. Upon investigation, it was clear that the hard pieces were chunks of shattered glass! I set the mess aside along with the original wrapper and opened another tube. I found the same with the second and the third tubes! This was especially frightening since I was preparing these to be eaten by four children as well as the adults in our family! The consequences, had I not been paying close attention, could have been grave!

I have been purchasing motor oil for years from Walmart. When the price of crude was 140plus/barrel a 5 quart container of Pennzoil was priced at 997. When the price of crude started to substantially drop a month ago the price was increased to 13.50, then a couple of days ago rolled back 12.00. I don't understand the huge increase, now oil is less than 70/barrel. I can buy the oil cheaper by the quart from a local parts store. Do you expect to reduce the price further?

I purchased the GE Walmart canister vacuum, model number 169072, 8/6/07. I ordered replacement bags GE Canisters Style CN-1 5/07 as recommended online. They did not fit. The vacuum will not work without the correct bags. I called 877-207-0923 7/2/08 and spoke to Bill in Walmart customer service. He said the bags were renamed Arm and Hammer VC396. Bill said the delivery would take 6 weeks. I ordered them. They didn't come. I called back 8/14/08 and talked to Bill and reordered. I asked if the bags could be sent by faster mail. Bill said, "No, they could only come in 6 weeks."

For the past 2 weekends my wife and I have been to the local store here in Circleville. Last weekend the garden center doors was still locked at 12 noon. This weekend we went down to shop and the same thing at 10:30 am. I called and spoke with acting manager Mike who stated there was no reason for them to be locked. I agree, we and a lot of older people like to take the shortest walking distance to the store and enter thru the garden center where we also shop.

A couple yrs ago Walmart Special Kitty Littler changed to a new bag look. The original was in a bright red bad w/ grey litter, the new was a dull red.... but THIS litter was white dust!!!!! I complained and returned all I'd purchased. I say that to say this: Not long ago Special Kitty changed their Special Kitty brand LIKE PURINA... It came in a blue shiny bag... to a light blue bag... 'a new look'. I have learned these new 'looks' also mean SOMETHING INSIDE HAS CHANGED. One of my cats started getting diarrhea, first runny and almost black w/ blood, then it changed to pancake batter color and consistency. The vet tried everything... After the ENTIRE summer, he said I should try special food, that perhaps he was reacting to the dry cat food... And sure enough, the problem was this NEW 'PURINA LIKE' SPECIAL KITTY DRY FOOD!!!!! I almost lost the boy... So be alert... Any change in the outward, means change on the inside!

I purchased a 50 in DLP HDTV in Jan. of 2007. About 6 weeks after I purchased the tv, the unit quit working for me. I had to wait 3 or 4 months to get a new tv from the manufacturer. Now, Oct. 2008, my tv isn't working again and although I bought the extended warranty they are trying to tell me the repairs aren't covered because the bulbs are a consumable item. I read the new brochures in the store and it does say this, but I specifically asked the employee inside Wal-Mart before I purchased the tv. He told me everything including the bulbs were covered throughout the extended warranty. I explained this to the manager at the Galesburg store and he said it didn't matter what he said that's not the policy. So it is up to me to pay for the repairs.

I purchased 6 X Gold Fish and 2 X Alb barbs from walmart Chamblee GA Branch. I add them to my existing tank. Within 2 days time, my entire fish community start to die. I checked water each day from the Petsmart and not any problem found. Ultimately I researched the situation and found Ich symptoms are in all fish. I spent lots of money for Fish Chemistry and Medications.

I purchase Pepsi Products approx. 10-12 Bottles weekly. On the 14th of Oct. I bought Pepsi at Walmart. After opening to have some with dinner, we realized that it tasted as if there was a chemical added to it. We poured the two glasses out, noticed that it almost exploded in our sink. I took the remainder of the bottle to Walmart where it was purchased to make them aware of it, as I did not want other people to get ill or worse. There is no one else in our household who could have added something as only my husband and I live in our home.

We had shipped the CD player to Venturer Electronics because Walmart would not exchange it after 30 days. They in turn about 2 months later sent us an older CD player that did not work, and was not the same value as the first. I had made several phone calls to the company regarding the problem & left messages with the manager. Half the time the people on the phone would hang up on me & the manager has never once called me back. I told them that this is a fitness gym that needs music to play all day. We have had to borrow one from a member for the time, but they need it back. We paid good money for a CD player in May, & have only had one for a couple of months.

I shopped Walmart - Framingham, MA and out of six items I was overcharged on two. Not much, but irritating.

Early in the morning around 9am I entered the Walmart store in Indiana, PA. I walked back to get some printer ink and as I walked down I heard AC/DC playing real loud in the men's clothing section. Set up was AC/DC stuff all over the place and I could tell was keeping people away from the back of the store. I would like to ask Walmart to please cancel the bad taste t-shirts and way too much Halloween stuff! Believe me I am not the only one who dislikes this overdose of stuff. I am just someone who really cares and took time to email you about this. Please do something fast!

I doubt very much if this will help but I have to put in my 2 cents! I in the past worked for you and loved it! Now in the past years, way too much has changed and not for the best either! First you did away with Lay-a-way. That helped so many people in our area and remember we are the ones that made Walmart!! Second of all, you have done away with all the music and with Christmas coming, how awful to shop and have no Christmas music to help put us in the mood to spend money. Oh well, it is your loss. That's why we DON'T shop Target because it is too boring! Third, you have done away with all the sewing and yarn and crafts. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?? And now we hear that Sporting Goods is on the way out! AGAIN, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?? Fourth, I have heard that you're going to automatic phone system and we will be talking to a computer like at Meyers.

I was at Wal-Mart shopping with my children today as I put my infant in the carrier in the seat part of the shopping cart. To my surprise, as I was shopping, my baby flipped back in the car seat and into the buggy. Thank God that she was strapped into her car seat, and thank God that the cart was full of groceries. If it wasn't full, she would have fallen backwards in the carrier into the shopping cart. This is clearly a safety hazard and there needs to be signs posted around the cart storage area to make people aware of this hazard.

I went to Walmart tonight to buy some groceries and after getting home and putting them away, I realized that I had not brought home all of my groceries. I left 2 boxes of cereal and a bottle of ketchup. I tried calling the number on my receipt and the phone just rang and rang. I thought maybe I had misdialed and tried it again - same thing. I just happened to have a Campaign phone book and looked up the Walmart in Savoy and tried some of the other numbers and had the same experience - the phone just rang. I live 30 minutes away and with gas prices being up and the late hour (10 PM) I thought a call would be sufficient for now. I am wondering how in the world do you get them to answer the phone?

My Dell Laptop had broken and would be more trouble than it was worth to get it repaired. I went to Walmart to purchase a new one on October 7, 2008. Since I trusted Dell, I wanted to stay with that Brand. The sales associate was very helpful. I saw a display one that I really liked. The associate (Andrew) went to the back to get me a new one $898.00. I purchased the 2 service plan. My total was $1,051.76. I was on my lunch so I put the laptop in my trunk and went back to work. About 3 hours later, I was talking about my new purchase and saying that I wish it had Windows XP and not Vista. My IT guy says, "Go get your laptop and I will install it for you." I get it out the trunk, bring it in. We open it and it's a Toshiba laptop in the box. I tried to call the store but got no answer.

I purchased a Schwinn bicycle on 9/14/08. Third time I ride it, I have a flat tire. No problem, right? Well, turns out Walmart doesn't carry replacement tubes or tires in the 28 inch size on mine. After a lot of aggravation, I find no one does. At first, Walmart told me they do not take back bicycles. They have a return policy posted clearly and yet still argued with me. My blood pressure went sky high. They gave me my money back and never to buy a bike from them that don't intend to keep. What kind of answer is that? Whatever happened to the customer is always right?

Last night, my husband and I shopped for a few groceries and a case of beer. We unloaded the cart at the checkout counter and I stood back so my husband could show his ID and pay. The cashier took his ID and scanned it, then she looked over at me and asked for MY ID. I told her that I wasn't the one buying the beer so she didn't need mine. She told me that that was their policy. I told her that was too bad. She wasn't getting my ID! After giving me a nasty look, she went ahead and finished the sale, to my surprise. I will never, EVER step foot into any Walmart or Sams again!!! Who the hell do they think they are!!!!!! And, by the way, I'm not a child. I'm 49 and my husband is 46! And I don't drink!!!

I've had a few bad experiences. Never mind you can't cancel your order once you have completed it, but also you cannot MODIFY the order either. I placed an order today on Walmart.com at 8:56AM. I thought everything was a go until I got my email saying that the order was going to my sister's house, who resides in NJ. I usually get my nephew's gifts from walmart.com so that is the only conceivable way I can fathom why that address was listed as the default and not the BILLING address.

Went to Walmart at 6 am and because management is lazy, the cashier could not get help when she needed it. I picked up 5 items (packing tape and 4 bags of red beans and went register and it took until 6:29:40 to get checked out????? At 6 am, there should be no problem getting in and out without waiting 25 min to get checked out... What has happened to Walmart's great service???? Where is the management when needed????? Oh, I'm sorry. Screw the customer. They were on break... So what? There was 8 people in line... I go shopping early to avoid people, not stand in line for 25 min... Walmart needs to get their head out of their ** and hire management that gives a crap about people... not stand around and get paid for it... I have complained before and it never does any good. I don't think Walmart upper management cares either untill it affects their paycheck... When do I get compensated for my time standing in line.... I know - when hell freezes over.

I am an associate with Walmart. If you see the price listed is different than what it rang up for... you are to get it for the lowest price. If you are an associate --- you also can get it at the discounted price ---- and!!!!!! You can do price overrides for your items.

I returned 6 Parsons chairs due to the fact that on the box, they were said to be leather. On inspection, I found they were pleather, I. E., Vinyl. I wanted a gift card because I had no receipt or the box they came in. The store manager told me he would not override store policy, and that I should contact the manufacturer. He didn't tell me this in person; he sent the asst. Manager out to tell me. I left all 6 chairs sitting at customer service. I was out over $500. I will never buy furniture at WM again.

First off, I try to avoid Walmart as much as possible because of the lack of customer service. I can usually navigate and find what I need faster than it takes to track down an employee to help me. So this morning, I was feeling optimistic and I saw a TV stand online that I wanted and decided to go straight to the location and see if they had it. I picked up a few household things and went to look at the TV stands. I found what I needed but it was heavier than I could lift. There were three employees standing talking to one another with no customers around in the film department. They could see me standing there and offered no help. I approached them to ask what procedure was, i.e., did I need to prepay and then come back to have someone load it in my car or did I need to have someone come get it and take it to the front etc.

I just wanted you to be aware that Walmart in Saint Paul Minnesota on University Avenue has put your product Elmo live out TO purchase when all the websites say you must pre order it and its not supposed to be on sale yet in stores. I think that is so wrong when people pay good money to pre order it and pay extra for shipping and stuff. I think they are trying to earn an extra BUCK FOR THEIR STORE.

I would like to bring this to the attention of someone who can help. A lot of people shop at Walmart stores and are oblivious to the truck drivers who bring those goods to that store. While so many drivers on the road need supplies and food to save money, we also require parking on the lot at times. Well while we were in McPherson, Kansas, we parked at the local Walmart to do some shopping. While we sat in their parking lot, two gentlemen approached the driveway carrying shovels and put up a no semi-truck parking allowed - will be towed at owner's expense.

I do not like to complain. But i find this rather disturbing. It seems to me that Wal-Mart always has a clean nice appearance. Now I love the Wal-Mart at the north belt location, the people are always great. This is my issue: I was in your store on 10/02/2008 about 1:30 am when i went to the make up department. Ok, women want to look their best so when you ask the person a question in that department you don’t, as a woman, want to ask a man who looks like he just crawled out from under a car. Who has no idea what kind of make up you’re talking about. This is a department, i am sorry, where a woman needs to be. Women don’t feel comfortable going up and asking a dirty-looking man “What do you think about this product?” I asked a question, he just looked lost. That is a department women should be working in. When I ask about lip plumpers i don’t expect the person to laugh and say “I don’t know what that is.” What kind of person would send someone to a department that’s about beauty and cleanliness who doesn’t know himself? Does not belong there, he was out of place and had no idea about the products that people needed help with. Like i said i love your store. I know you do your best to help the customer. Thank you for listening.

I recently took a sales ad to the Greenwood Walmart from Aldi’s that stated US #1 Russet Potatoes 10# Bag For $1.99. I assumed that since Every Walmart in America has a Policy Statement hanging up when you walk through the door, that we will match ANY Competitors sales Price as long as it is the same product in question. The US #1 Russet 10# Bag of spuds had no difference in wording or brand whatsoever. Needless to say, I was told that they would not match the price because they couldn't take that kind of a hit on cost. To me they need to change their wording on their price matching policy or be sued for false advertisement. This seems to happen more and more as our economy struggles. I'm just an average Middle Classed Joe that wants to take advantage of a cost savings when it is available.

I had a film that I wanted to have developed at the 1 Hour Photo STORE that Walmart has always had in their stores. The woman behind the counter very rudely stated that they only had "2 day service now, and I could come back then!" I am handicapped and cannot get out every day to come and go with any ease like the non-handicapped people can. Why is this service being taken away from Walmart's customers? While the film is being developed, we are shopping, and thusly spending money at that Walmart store!! THIS WOULD SEEM TO ME TO BE A "WIN-WIN SITUATION!"

Walmart Freehold store has lower prices on so many items. Every time I go there when I get to the register if you don't watch the price on the shelf is lower than the register price. Today Oct 2, 2008, I bought 2 bottles of octane booster - shelf price 1.98. I used the self-checkout. The price for the octane booster was 4.50. I called the lady over. She said "I will go check out the price." She comes back with the price tag from the shelf which says 1.98. She says "look, this is a different name brand." In tiny writing which I could not read without a magnifier was a different brand. I said I want my money back. In the return department I told the women this is a crime. The price is marked 1.98, there are no other bottles there but this brand. One is 1.98 and a stronger bottle, same brand is 6.95. The brand for the 1.98 bottle, which you cannot read, is not on the shelf. I have had so many problems with the Freehold store. I told them I would never shop there again, and I would spend a lot of money in this store. I am pissed off at Walmart.

I went into the store to purchase 45 ct Zyrtec. The price at this store was $26.97. I just priced it a couple days ago at the Walmart on Wilmington Pk, Kettering, OH and it was $24.97. This is a much higher scale neighborhood than Xenia. It is hard to understand why the price is higher in Xenia, OH when this area is medium to low class. When I asked the clerk why the difference, she said the price was based on neighboring businesses.

I purchased several bags of potting soil in the garden center only to find out that they were out. I was sent to the service desk for a refund where I had to stand in line behind 3 other customers. There was one cashier working the service desk. Her name was Avis. The entire time I was there, she was gossiping on the company phone. She never stopped talking the whole time I was in line or getting my refund. She was discussing a car her friend just bought and several other personal things. She did not greet me or any of the other customers ahead of me. When it was my turn, and I put my receipt down on the counter she said the only words she said during the whole transaction, "What you putting that there fa?" (Not misspelled, that's how she pronounced it.)
