This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I purchased a $500.00 Walmart cash card on June 31 of this year. I have not received the official card. I have no way to check on activation of the card or to cancel that card and order a replacement. The phone number on the receipt provides no assistance in this matter. I have the receipt for the $500.00.

Walmart Bad Service - no product

Here is the letter I sent to Wal-Mart. I think it speaks for itself!

I would like to file a formal grievance about an on-line purchase I made from your tire department two weeks ago and total lack of customer service from the store and no point of contact for Wal-Mart customer service.

In the past, I have always gone to Wal-Mart for my automotive needs because I felt you were dependable and honest. As a mother, it is very important to keep be able to rely on my vehicle to keep my children safe. Unfortunately, this situation has been very disappointing. After two weeks, I’m still driving my family around on an unsafe vehicle as we have the donut instead of a reliable tire. At this point, I wish I would have gone to one of your competitors instead of being loyal to Wal-Mart.

I had a flat tire June 28 and went to Wal-Mart to have it patched. Your team told me that the tire was un-patchable and that I had to order two tires not just replace the one. Also, you did not carry my size of sport utility tires in stock and they had to be ordered. They further instructed me to go on-line to order tires from Walmart.com and that they would arrive in a few days. I ask at this point – why couldn’t the sales associate order the tires for me, instead of me going home to place the order? It would have made more sense from a sales/customer service perspective to offer to order the tires for me so that I wouldn’t take my business elsewhere. But as I said, I was loyal to Wal-Mart and did as they instructed.

I placed my order June 28 on-line for 2 Uniroyal Laredo Cross Country tires. When I placed my order, it said that my order should arrive at the 82nd St. Wal-Mart #2552 in Portland between July 2 and July 9. I received a confirmation email and an email stating that my order was being processed and the tires should be received by July 9.

July 10, I emailed Wal-Mart Eorder to see what the status was of my tires and why I hadn’t received a phone call as promised from the local store. Deanna emailed me back on July 11 stating that my tires should have been received at the local Wal-Mart on July 7. Obviously, I’m upset, because I’ve been driving my family around on a donut since June 28 and I could have had my tires fixed five days ago.

When I called the local store, they said that they have never received the order and furthermore, refused to help me, but instructed that I call the on-line customer service. I went to your web site and did not fine any toll-free number, which heightened my frustration.

I called the store back to see if they could provide me with a number and the lady I spoke to suggested that I call UPS to track my own order. I am paying YOU to find my order, it is not the other way around. So, because I was unable to find a real person who was willing to treat me as a valued customer and attempt to assist me today, I am posting this message in an effort for Wal-Mart to contact me.

I am very upset with the service I’ve received since day one and I expect Wal-Mart to find some way to rectify this situation and compensate me for the time wasted trying to track someone down as well as the time wasted waiting for tires that seem to exist only in cyberspace.

Sincerely,
C Scott

Walmart new 3yr old sanyo tv from walmart dies

I have been a loyal Walmart customer for over 25 years. About 3 years ago I bought 2 Sanyo color tv's from Walmart.

One of them has died after only 3 years.

It should last much longer that that! I went to the Sanford Walmart and spoke with the mgr. of the electronics dept.

His mgr. said there was nothing they could do. I still have the receipt. The manufacturer said the same thing. Help!

It's clearly stated at the service desk that there is a 90 day return policy. No place is going to replace a 3 year old TV. Some manufacturer's have warranties after the store return policy has expired but usually after six months you're out of luck unless you bought a protection plan. But those usually expire after 2 years anyways.

Walmart mean pharmacist

Today I went to Walmart Pharmacy and waiting 2 hours in line for a prescription that I called in yesterday. When I complained about the service, the Pharmacist said "### you ###." These words are very upsetting to me. I told him that he was unprofessional, and he said "go to hell you ###."

Real nice Walmart.

You could be right about that one, but he was just going by what he was told, I guess that will teach us to watch a friend's advice a little better. It's okay he didn't sell him anything, but still, nobody else was in line, he could've maybe pointed him in the right direction of something, over-the-counter or not, to help him out. Something besides being rude.

There's NO WAY that happened. You're obviously a liar. If he did give you a hard time (but certainly not to the degree you are professing), then it was only because you're probably a junkie looking for pain medication.

Well, IF this really happened, I hope you contacted someone in charge. But I kind of doubt it did happen. 2 hours? For real? And if he did say those horrible things, then you must of said something first. Why would he just say those words to you and not to every customer who complained? (If there was a two hour wait, then you were't the only one complaining.) And I know people who complain about something small like waiting will definetely complain about something that huge. He wouldn't even have a job!

Sorry, I flat out think you are lying. You are leaving out a lot of information. I'll bet anything that you were the one using that disgusting language. The police should have been called on you to remove you from that store. I also don't believe you were waiting in line for two hours. That is just stupid. You haven't been helpful one bit with this "complaint." You need to be a lot more respectful of other people, including those that may be reading what you have posted.

I purchased a greendot money card from walmart and after activation, was told my permanent card would arrive in the mail 7-10 business days. After 21 business days and no permanent card, I called the toll free number on the card, and got (of course) some hispanic that I could not understand and the assurance that it would be in the mail.

Walmart they tore up my car

Wamart changed my oil and left rags under the hood. They got caught in the belt, warped my harmonic balancer, put a hole in my timing cover, broke the belt. In other words my car will not ever run. This is a 2000 Sentra that was in good shape. It took 3 days for us to head from their insurance co. and 20 minutes to here we were denied. The work cost 766.00 for my car. I am walking 6 miles to work and having to bum rides, thanks to Walmart. They are devils. Do not shop there or use their lube service.

My sister recently had Wal-Mart auto services install a battery in her car. After a few days the car stalled and had to be towed to garage. The mechanic found that the wrong battery had been installed. It was too high, it overheated and welded the hood latch shut as well as caused damage to the underside of the hood. The cost of the damage was $490. She had the Walmart receipt for the battery and installation, a receipt from the mechanic who fixed the damage clearly stating that the cause was the installation of the wrong battery, and pictures of the damages. She submitted these to Wal-Mart's claim management company (CMI) and her claim was denied. They blamed the manufacturer of the battery not the ###s who installed the wrong one. Walmart takes no responsibility for their mistakes.

Walmart cancellation policy

Do not order anything from walmart.com... I ordered a pool, paid for shipping to my house because the item was not in my local store (Or so I was told when I called. See more about this below). However, the next day I ended up going into my walmart and found the exact pool that I had just ordered online! I tried to have the store cancel my order, which they could not, so I decided to go home and get back online or call myself. Incredible! Walmart.com will not cancel an order made online, even within minutes of ordering. They said it's because of fraud... What does that mean? What about my legal right to cancel a contract within 72 hours? I am certain my order had not even been processed as it was still inside 24 hours. So? I just paid an extra $27 for a pool and have to wait a week for my kids to use it all because of a zero cancellation policy. I even asked the manager at the store to refund my $27 if I bought another pool off his shelf that day. I was mostly angry because the day before I was told there wasn't a pool at the store and no one could tell me if or when any would be coming in. The manager said that was very likely true, they just got a truck in during the night. He said he was not affiliated with walmart.com and his hands were tied. Whatever.

Walmart non authorization of state check

I received my weekly unemployment check in the mail. As I had to pick up a few things at Wal-mart which is five minutes from my home, I decided to cash the check via the money center there. My bank is twenty minutes away. I was told by the very nice lady at the counter that the check was denied because of the amount ($326) and the fact is was my first time. I proceeded to call customer service. I was given a very broad ridiculous canned response stating that Certygy is unwilling to accept the risk of cashing my check. They cash my 17yr old son's paycheck from Sonic quite frequently but are unable to accept the risk of a state check from a 40yr old? There is definitely a problem here.

Walmart could not carry my purse in walmart

I'm a 40 year old mother of two and my purse is a small black book bag filled with diapers and kid stuff. The only thing I have that is mine is a organizational makeup bag with slots on the outside for my credit cards. I was not allowed to have my purse in Walmart. I was taken to the manager and she just rolled her eyes and said leave it at the front. I have been carrying that bag for 2 years. If I have a real diaper bag it would be TWICE as big. If I was 15, I could understand. I even showed the person at the front what was inside.

#1 a merchant has the right to tell you not to bring a purse/bag in the store. Why not just leave it in the car do you really need it? Secondly I find it hard to believe they would single you out unless they suspected or caught you lifting. Third you are very arrogant to say a 15 year old is more likely to shop lift. I've seen people of all ages and races lifting. I'm sure they are not upset to not see you in there anymore.

All Walmarts are different, if this really happened and you hadn't caused any problems before, contact your local district manager. The number should on the left when you talk up to Customer Service. Companies don't like the bad rep. so you might get offered a $20 or 30 dollar gift card.

Wow i've worked for Walmart before and never have any manager or any type of employee asked a customer to leave their purse/book bag at the front. As far as I know it's illegal unless they have a sign posted on the door stating they have the right to do that. even if your are a known shoplifter every Walmart has atleast one undercover security guard who will follow you around just in case you decide to steal. Your story is either a lie or you shop at a really really crappy store. If that really happens to anybody else make sure to check out laws to make sure it is legal to do that, and if it's not then sue the crap out of that store and get the corporation to fire the ### who order you to give up your personal bag for ANY reason. That is wrong and unfair.

Walmart moneycard isn't easy and not secure

I am making a complaint about the walmart moneycard.

When you want to use it just for buying stuff paying upfront for a Walmart moneycard they charge a whopping extra of $8 bucks, they don't tell you you have to give out your social security and personal information, then after I bought it I am sure as hell I inputed my social security number accurately and it kept rejecting my social security number claiming it is fake and/or not matches my identity.

THIS CAME FROM MY ACTUAL SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, yet they claimed my information was false.

So I had to call them to activate it and they sit there and want me to send in proof of my identity like I'm a terrorist and all because they refuse to accept my accurate number they claimed required by Federal law.

So they decided to activate my temporary card and they want me to scan my social security card to them without any security or encryption, WTF I will just use up that card and not send that in because I already sent them proof by federal law and now I should no longer be obligated to send more and more of my personal information to some foreigner that could steal my number.

If by law I have to give out my SS# why don't they make it secure and make it where employees can't record or remember numbers so they don't steal my identity.

Wasn't the moneycard suppose to be convenient and secure, it seems like a bother and YOU CAN'T GET A REFUND FOR THE CARD YOU PAY FOR, so it's like they can rip you off and if you can't prove your ID and they refuse to refund you, your lost.

I totally agree with the consumer about the social security number issue. In fact, I was told the same thing, that my social is invalid and that need to go and "request" a number that is accurate. Once I provide them proof They will qualify me for a prepaid card...My money didn't qualify me..My money only Qualify them as "IN CONTROL< AND FREE TO PIMP ME"

I thought to my angry self, Humm! Wait til I march in that Social Security Office, and tell them, after I have mad it through school. Have two of my own children to graduate from School, Buy two homes and one of them forecloses. A couple of repossesions...For almost 50 yrs now...you mean to tell me ya"ll handed me out a wrong social security number? No argument ..Just give me a new one ..Pal, right now...It's no wonder why I had some trouble getting financed...this number has never been for me .LOL
So I thought I was tripping when this what sounded like an Iranian on the other end of the phone tells, with certainty...THAT THIS SOCIAL IS NOT YOUR NUMBER! THEY GAVE YOU WRONG CARD! YOU NEED TO GO TO THEIR GET NEW CARD AND FAX ME PROOF!...This is all too funny! what the hell is going on here? I asked Well what kind of machine have they given you to know that this number is not mine? Can you give me some proof of that? and believe me, i will march right down there and tell them, because me and that number fell out many, many years ago...I been waiting for away out of this married...So please, what type of system or software on you using for these verifications? Right Now, There is a $109. deposit for a pay at pump ( A Walmart gas pump). I bought the gas on 7/3/08 for $25.02, that has already been posted. Bur they say they deposits for up to 60 days...I called the walmart murphy usa customer service...they tell me they don't even take a deposit from pay at the pump...they told me where to send proof and a complaint and i did
GREEN DOT gave me $12. of my money back and that it!...The point this story is that it's really not AMERICA'S FAVORITE STORE THAT IS THE PROBLEM...IT'S THE STEP DADDY WE GOT OUT OF THE MARRIAGE...GREEN DOT IS THE HUNGRY ONE! WHO IS KILLING ALL OF US BY SLOW POISIONING. i'M gOING BACK TO NETSPEND, WHERE I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM FOR OVER 3 YEARS...BUT BECAUSE AMERICA'S FAVORITE STORE HAD PREPAID CARD I DECIDED TO GO WITH THEM...NOW THE PRIOR STORY I TOLD YOU BEFORE WAS A PREPAID CARD I BOUGHT OUT OF CVS "GREENDOT"...SO I WAS UNAWARE ATHE TIME I BOUGHT THE WALMART CARD THAT IT WAS THROUGH GREENDOT...HAD I KNOWN IT I WOULD HAVE NEVER TOUCHED...LET'S FACE ! WALMART HAS GIVEN FAR TOO MANY FAIR PRICES TO START CHEATING US NOW! iT'S THIS NEW DADDY THEY MARRIED THAT'S GETTING US...GREEN DOT HAS GOT TO GO!

Walmart traffic pileup

I live in a fairly small town. When the first WalMart was built, no problems. There was no traffic light in front of the store and the traffic passing in front of Walmart flowed pretty good. Then, a big pain in the *** occurred a couple of years ago when a NEW Walmart was built and a traffic light was added (Walmart paid for it). Ever since, we have traffic backups over a mile! The good news is Walmart is NOT doing so great because people like me no longer go to ANY Walmart! (I might start a UnWalMart club... lol!).

Walmart I will never shop there again

I purchased a coffee maker ($44.97) in May and had to return it in 11 days because it would stop brewing the coffee. I exchanged my item and the service desk forgot to include my register receipt after I exchanged my item. I called back to wall-mart on Ireland rd in south bend, in. and was told if I had another problem they would take care of me if within 90 days. Well, its 6/7/08 and the coffee maker stopped working. I’m back at wal-mart to exchange and I’m told too bad, no receipt and they can't look up the item without a upc number! I will never shop wal-mart again no matter how cheap! They no longer take care of the member but they do not take care of their associates. I will shop at kohl's from now on! At least they will exchange without using the tale of "I need a upc code! What happened to good customer service?

THERE WAS ONE OTHER CAR IN THE LUBE BAY. I WAS NEXT. THEY TOOK MY CAR IN RAISED THE HOOD AND LEFT. AT LEAST 2 OTHER CARS WERE SERVICED WHILE I WATIED. FINALLY AFTER SOME ONE HOUR AND 30 MIN A WHITE MANAGER CAME BY AND I ASKED HIM WHAT WAS THE PROB. HE CHECKED AND SAID THE PERSON WHO PARTED THE CAR DID SO AND WENT ON BREAK--A LONG ONE. IT TOOK ME APPPROX 2 HOURS TO GET AN OIL CHANGE. THE CARS THAT CAME IN BEHIND ME FOR THE SAME SERVICE WERE LONG GONE BEFORE THEY EVEN GOR TO ME. I KNOW I WILL NOT BE MISSED BY W/M BUT IM TAKING MY BUSINESS ELSE WHERE. THIS SERVICE WAS LOUSY AT BEST.

Walmart terrible phone service

May 31st. 2008, I called walmart pharmacy, located in woodbridge, va, to fax a refill request to my doctor so that she could authorize a refill and change the quantity of the medicine. 3 days later, june 4th, I called the pharmacy to see if the medicine was ready so that I could stop by and pick it up, but nothing was done. I personally thought that the pharmacist had totally forgotten my request. Then I told the pharmacist, whoever was talking to me over the phone, to fax to my doctor asap, since my dad was waiting for the coumadin. June 7th, which is today, at 1:21pm, I called the pharmacy again, I was putting on a hold. My other phone rang, I picked up the phone, in the meanwhile, a pharmacist was speaking. If you could just imagine that I held 2 receivers, one at my each ear. As soon as I heard a pharmacist's voice, I said "could you hold on for just 1 second, please?" they both heard my voice. The person who called me held on me, guess what happened on the pharmacist, she hung me up.

She is too mean! If you know making a call to talk to a pharmacist needs to go through many steps. I understand the walmart pharmacy is very busy, but I could not figure out how a pharmacist can not hold a phone call for just 1 second, or tell a customer that she could not hold any incoming call. I, therefore, called back right away. She answered my call. I asked her why she hung me up 1 minute ago without saying anything. Her answer was: "this is wal-mart pharmacy, I don't know what you are talking about." and hung up again. Gosh, I was very mad at that moment when she hung me up at the second time.

I encourage every one don't visit this store, woodbridge, va 22192.

Why on earth are you blaming the pharmacist? CAll your doctor. Take responsibility for your own care. Most MDs require 72 BUSINESS HOURS (this does not include weekends and holidays). NEWSLFASH! The doctors are not standing there looking for your prescription refill. They see hundreds of patients and review and document medical charts all day. Did you wait until you were out? Of course you did. The doctor needs time to review your chart and determine if he/she is going to approve the refill (this includes deciding if you need an office visit, labs, etc.). Oh...don't think that just because your dad is on COUMADIN that you automatically garner sympathy.

Walmart lack of customer service over the phone

WalMart online has taken a step back into the stone age! By removing it's customer service number it has basically said that it does not care about the people who have made them a multi billion dollar company.

And now you can't talk to anyone, not even a person in India! if you have a problem. You must email the problem in, and wait, and wait, and wait and then someone might get back to you. But you can't reply to ask that person a question on top of your question and they won't call you back or give you a customer service number to call if you have a problem.

Here are excerpts from the emails I sent them, and their inability to resolve my problem and the infuriating responses I got.

MY SECOND EMAIL: (BECAUSE I NEVER EVEN GOT A RESPONSE TO MY FIRST EMAIL)

I have asked this question twice now!...

AND NO ONE HAS EMAILED ME BACK! AND there are no phone numbers to call on your customer service or for the credit card that I have still not
received!...

Not a happy customer right now, Especially because my job is online service and it is inexcusable to allow an email inquiry go unanswered for 3 days now going on the 4th!

Please call me on my cell phone...

THEIR RESPONSE:
We are writing in response to your email. We are deeply sorry that we are unable to address your concern in a timely manner. We are informing
you that unfortunately, we are unable to respond to your concern directly because it is not clear what specific credit card you are referring to.

(IT WAS ONE OF THEIRS AND IF THEY PROVIDED A PHONE NUMBER FOR THEIR CREDIT CARD DEPARTMENT ON LINE I WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN SO IRATE)

We sincerely apologize that your recent visit to Walmart.com didn't meet your expectations. We thank you for taking the time to send us your suggestions and comments to help improve our service. We value your input in continually improving your online shopping experience. Your satisfaction is our number one priority!

(IF THIS WERE TRUE THEY WOULD HAVE CALLED ME OR PROVIDED A PHONE NUMBER)

If we may be of further assistance, please email us at [protected]@walmart.com. We're here to serve you 7 days a week!

(SO WHEN YOU DO EMAIL THEM YOU GET A DIFFERENT PERSON AND THEY NEVER REFERENCE YOUR PREVIOUS EMAIL SO YOU ARE NOT HAVING A CONVERSATION AND THERE IS NEVER ANY RESOLUTION)

MY THIRD EMAIL:
This is the third email I have sent to your on line help center since Friday and I have not received any emails back. I am DISGUSTED! My job
is online customer service and this is the most neglectful thing I've ever seen in online customer service.

AN EXCERPT FROM THEIR RESPONSE: We would like to assist you with your inquiry but the email channel you are using is not a secure channel. For your own protection and the security of your personal information, we use a secure message center.
Please log-in to our secure message center by visiting our website at www.walmart.com (THEY PROVIDE THE MESSAGE CENTER FOR THE CC BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A NUMBER WHICH WAS MY WHOLE PROBLEM, THEN YOU CAN'T GET IN TO THEIR SECURE MESSAGE CENTER)

After receiving the last email (which was really the answer to my second email after the answer to my third, and never receiving an email from the 1st this was what I sent, and received)

MY FOURTH AND FINAL EMAIL:
Here we are again, not understanding how a company as large as Walmart can have the WORST customer service on the planet. I have sent 3 emails and have actually now gotten a response to two of
them but it has taken several days and you have still not cleared up my problem.

However if you had the ability to call me on the phone or better yet, if I had the ability to call you we could have cleared this up without all
this frustration on my part and the we-could-give-a-damn attitude on your side. (OTHER THAN THEIR FORM EMAIL INSERTS ABOUT CARING ABOUT MY COMPLAINTS WHICH WAS ALL VERY WELL, BUT WAS NOT DEMONSTRATED)

I thought this was a good deal, little did I realize what a headache it would cause to me. (you
are obviously sleeping just fine at night)

I say this because I do work as an online sales consultant and provide customer service. I deal with so many unhappy people in a day and try to find positive solutions to their issues. I
need to get on the phone with them to help them even if their problem or inquiry comes in online.

I also know that it is important to get back
to someone who inquires on line as quickly as possible, the old rule of thumb was with in 24 hours which you all don't seem to adhere to. While in realty the time frame people need an answer is with in 3 hours. (And
if people are having a problem it's much quicker!)

Thank you for the major inconvenience...Anyway, I just think your system is terrible, the emails I've received have never been from the same person twice, there is no reference to my actual email, there is no way for me to email you back from the email so that you can continue to see the conversation.

I think this is a terrible step for Walmart customer service and you are obviously depending on the fact that we live in a consumer society that will buy from you no matter what because of your low prices on items that people need and want. Now you don't even give a crap about the
people who are making your company wealthy.

I know this is a tirade but I am really sick of working so hard to provide the best service I possibly can and the same service is not
extended to me when I need it.

THEIR FINAL RESPONSE:

My name is Clavel. I am with the Walmart.com Customer Service team. Thank you for allowing me to assist you today.

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your email. I am truly sorry that your recent visit to Walmart.com didn't meet your expectations. We thank you for taking the time to send us your suggestions and comments to help
improve our Web site. We value your input in continually improving your online shopping experience. Your satisfaction is our number one
priority!

I apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

Thank you for visiting Walmart.com. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and look forward to your next visit.

If we may be of further assistance, please email us at [protected]@walmart.com.

AND SO IT CONTINUES WITH NO RESOLVE...AND NO PHONE CALL...AND OF COURSE THIS WILL NOT EFFECT THEIR DECISION TO ELIMINATE PHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I can't believe a company this size does not even provide a person over the phone to resolve the issue in a matter of minutes verses aggravating unresolved emails over and over. I did delete the major issue because I don't think it is relevant to the over all point that Walmart is not proving customer service.

I have had several problems with the Walmart located at 137139 North Central Expressway and Midpark in Dallas, Texas 75243. I have had problems with the pharmacy, electronics, bakery, food, and check out. Most of the staff does not want to work. They do not want you to ask them a questions. They have bad attitudes. I have spoke with management on several occasions. My mom was in the grocery department and asked an employee for help, and she looked at my mom as if my mom was crazy for asking for help. In the pharmacy, an employee got into a verbal fight with my mom. How unprofessional? I was purchasing a television and DVD/VCR player, I had to wait until an employee finished his personal conversation before I could get assistance. Again, How unprofessional? He and I got into an argument over this. Walmart needs to retrain its employees; maybe even terminate some of its employees in an attempt to obtain more professional employees.

At Walmart - Garden City, SC - no one in the bakery dept. will listen...the French Bread is overcooked and full of holes...You cannot make a slice, let alone a sandwich...we have told the manager many times...Why can't someone go to the next nearest Walmart and see how beautifully they bake their French bread... you can go there anytime and find fresh bread...At Garden City there is stale bread ALL OVER the entire store...

Walmart sucks. I tried to put money on my "walmart money card" yesterday and they wouldn't accept it because it was too much. Anything over 1500.00 they don't want. I had a shopping cart full and would have had more if they stocked what they said they had when I went there to get it.
So..."FU" Wally World... My office supplies and everything else will be purchased through a better service than they at W.W. can provide. Physically, one block closer also...

Walmart poor customer service - p.m.

My husband went into the pharmacy today to pick up a prescription that was to ready about 3:p.m.
When he got there they told him they got back from lunch late and it was not ready. They told him to come back at 5p.m. In the meantime; we got a call of an emergency nature and I checked to see if I had
enough meds to carry me over in case we were away longer than expected. I went over to Walmart to
pick up some travel necessities and the prescription. At about 7p.m. I picked up and paid for the RX and
went over to the customer service window. On my way; I noticed two girls who really weren't interested
in waiting on a older hispanic couple who were standing there forever until a younger man went over to assist them. I noticed that the tall white girlw/blonde hair was goofing around with her cell phone, while
we(people) stood in line waiting to be helped! And this brings me to the short black girl who finally got off
her- - -stool and waited on me. The reason I'm useing gender is because I could't see her name tag or if
she was even wearing one. The computer was in front of her instead of off to the side like the other employees place it. You could barely see her! I asked her if I could get a couple of refills on my meds and told her my circumstances and she told me " not until tommorrow" There was NO line at all by then
and she said "NO" but you can put in the order and MAYBE it'll be ready by closing! I asked her what she
thought I was supposed to do for 2 hr.? She just stared at me and I said "Never MIND' The more I walked
the angrier I got that She was so rude. I BET SHE DOESN'T SHOW THAT ATTITUDE WHEN SHE GETS HER PAYCHECK! The young man who is there during the day is what I call Great Customer Service
material... He made us feel that we were making a good decision switching all our meds with your
Pharmacy... As for this girl- - - without customers like me- - - she would't have a job... If she treats me
that way- - - - You can bet she does it to others. I won't let her wait on me again. The other employees
were just staring at her in disbelief but no one said anything... This kind of complaining is totally
against the kind of person I am. And- - - she"ll probably get away with it! Just Not with ME..

P.S. As in my previous complaint, I failed to mention that I continued to shop in the grocery side. It took much longer than fifteen (15) minutes. I did mention that anger would not cover what I was thinking! I thought it would not be prudent to voice my opinion at that time. That would make two (2) mistakes I made. The first was trusting someone I did not know! IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.. I will only go to a pharmacy that I do trust. No matter the distance I must travel.

I went to my primary physician on Sept. 30, 2015. He gave me a prescription for an antibiotic (7 tablets in total) and also told me to purchase Flonaise nasal spray. The doctors office e-sent the order to Wal-Mart pharmacy in Fayette, Alabama 35555 before I even left the exam room. It took about 20+ minutes before I left the office, after setting up my next appointment, walked to my car and was ready to leave. I received a call from my husband. He asked me to wait for him - thus adding about another 20 minutes. When I arrived at the Wal-Mart location, I took a buggy, cleaned it with the wipes provided, picked up a rotisserie chicken, and went straight to the pharmacy window. There was one (1) customer ahead of me. She was checking out with her items as I stood in line for less than five (5) minutes. The associate at the register asked my name and date of birth. I provided her with my information. She stated that my prescription was NOT ready and would be about five (5) minutes. I went to the health and beauty aids department and gathered a few items. When I returned to the pharmacy I was told that my prescription was STILL NOT READY. She stated that the prescription was in the bagging stage and to return in another five (5) minutes, I looked around for about another 5+ minutes, Once again, returned to the pharmacy, my prescription was NOT ready and that the doctors office has sent another prescription (for Flonaise nasal spray) Silly me, I thought that Flonaise was over the counter. A different associate said that Flonaise was covered by my insurance. She also said that it was a larger bottle and would be a much lower cost than the OTC product. I agreed. SILLY ME! No, STUPID ME, for trusting someone I don't know. Thesecond associate stated that it would take another fifteen (15) minutes. I proceeded to gather items from the grocery side. It took MUCH longer than fifteen (15) minutes. I went back to the pharmacy AGAIN. The pharmacist asked me how the doctor instructed me to take this medication. He did not mention any instructions nor the fact that they would be sending a prescription for Flonaise. I was under the impression (silly me) that the prescription would be filled and that I would call my doctor's office to get instructions on how to take this medication. I was not told that the prescription would NOT BE FILLED AS WRITTEN (BY A FULLY LICENSED M.D. WITH MORE THAN 40 YEARS IN PRACTICE). But was over ridden by a "Pharmacist" . I was exhausted by this point and anger does not cover the other things that I was thinking! I did not look in the double bagged and multiple stapled package until I returned home. Much to my surprise, the Flonaise was not in the doubled bagged and multiple stapled package. I called the pharmacy to question the missing medication. I am unsure to whom I spoke to. Needless to say, she was way beyond rude and uncooperative. I was told that they had told me that they would not fill the prescription as written by my FULLY LICENSED PRIMARY PHYSICIAN. I informed them that there would be NO NEED TO FILL THIS PRESCRIPTION OR ANY OTHER PRESCRIPTION OF MINE FROM NOW ON! By the way, I WILL NEVER GET ANY OTHER PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED AT THIS WAL-MART PHARMACY OR ANY OTHER WAL-MART PHARMACY. This is not the first time I have been screwed at a Wal-mart Pharmacy. IT WILL BE THE LAST! Because of the "F" job I got, instead, I am unable to take this medication that my doctor wanted me to start tonight (9/30/15). Now I am going to have to call and get another prescription (sent to a completely different pharmacy). Also, can you tell me why it took so long to get the antibiotic filled? It was only seven (7) tablets. Why on earth does it take that long to put seven (7) tablets in a bottle, place a label on it, place it in a bagging stage, and have it ready by the second five (5) minutes (a.k.a. the "F" job I got)? By the way. I will tell anyone and everyone that I know of the "F" job I got and encourage them to go somewhere else, anywhere else, to get their prescriptions filled. Wal-mart ain't the only game in town!

Walmart mispriced hair products

I stopped in the Smart Style salon at the Walmart in Oak Ridge, TN to buy Redken shampoo & conditioner. Both the shampoo & conditioner had sticker prices for an amount on the bottom of the bottle. When the cashier rung them up, they both came up with a much higher price. I questioned it and was told that they had gone up in price, but was not marked. I insisted that I should get them for the price as marked, but was refused. I then demanded she cancel payment. I also had to insist on getting my receipt to show that the amount had been credited back to my debit card. I realize that posted this here may not help very much as Walmart nor the Smart Style salon cares. They make so much money that one customer such as myself does not "stop their show." It just pisses me off that they can get away with this!

I work for Smart Style, and they have pricing guides that come in every month, and the manager has to change the prices. If for some reason she misses something, I ALWAYS charge them the price that is marked on the bottle, and so does everyone else in my salon.

You just got a rude stylist.

Walmart Money card from nightmare.

This pre-paid money card is a joke! You can't send them an email, you can't even talk to Customer Service with out being charged 2.00 & give your ssn# on the phone (since you don't know the card # because it was shredded right after you bought it) & then still can't talk to anyone without the 2.00 charge. They literally make it impossible to get a hold of any one to talk to (unless you want to pay for it). They make it impossible to get your money back. They make it VERY DIFFICULT to cancel your account. Can't return it at Wal-Mart where you bought it. The money card has so many hidden charges (in super small print) that you can't read it even with glasses on, to read before you buy. That's pretty bad when even the people that work at Wal-Mart warn their consumers about the "Wal-Mart Money Card". Unfortunately, too late. They charge monthly fees (fees for EVERYTHING) Fees to put more money on the card. I finally had to go to the store, buy something for 1.00 & get the rest back in cash. Like I said, trying to close the account is another story. Never used the card for anything else & they make it impossible to opt-out for marketing (even though you already chose not to share your info) Everything about this card is a nightmare.

Previous to today I had attended their store in response to a catalogue sale to purchase some camping equipment. When I arrived I found the camping aisle deplete of nearly all stock. When I queried this fact I got told the sale had started 2 days ago and they had sold out. The fact was they cannot have had much stock to start with if it sold out that quick. The bargains weren't that good. I was offered a rain check which I accepted. Then I was told it would be a minimum of 6- 8 weeks before it came in. After not hearing from them I rang them 3 months later. Yes, the item was in stock. Why I was not told. I couldn't find your phone number. I am sure I gave it to them at the time. If not, it is in the phone book. They did have my address so could have easily found it or even sent a letter. All I can say is that I will never darken the doorstep of their stores again. When I generally talked among my friends about this they too had faced the same situation. This store is not at all ideal.

I just got a perm on 01/04/09 and the stylist started to give me a perm without washing my hair first. When I told her about it she said she forgot if she was to was it before or after the perm. It took her an hour and a half to roll my hair which is a fifteen minute job. Then she left me under the dryer for twenty five minutes instead of the fifteen she was supposed to. Then she rinsed my hair and put the othet solution on for five minutes but only left it on for three and rinsed me out. But when she finised rinsing me I was soaked all the way down the back of my sweater whish she literly wrong out. She had put on towel what so ever around me. Needless to say I was upset. I told her to take the rollars out and I was out of there. I didn't wait to get it cut or dryed. Stylist that don't know what they are doing should not be working. I feel that I paid $34.95 for nothing.I will never go back to that store. And it was the new walmart in elkhart indiana.

And when I take a cart and put a box of pampers away a a guy with no ID comes to me an tells me that I have no right to do that. I asked the lady at the counter 4 times.

This Wal-mart Store is known as "The Ghetto Wal-mart"; and believe me, they have earned the reputation, the customer service there is horrible, they make customers bag their own groceries, intead of the cashiers doing it, they use racial slurs, and often refuse to assist customers with anything. I tried of getting lousy service from Wal-mart, and I'm not going back there again...

I am a customer who frequently patronizes Wal-mart that purchased a Wal-mart’s Money Card and loaded $110.00 on it to use it to pay my phone bill online on Christmas Eve. I had a problem with the online payment and called customer care because I needed the card activated. The Customer Service Agent at Wal-marts Customer Center put my card in “refund status” (a status in which I later found out would take ten business days to resolve) creating a situation of my phone bill money being tied up for the next ten business days. That was not what I wanted to do the to do with my $110.00. The Customer Service Agent at Wal-marts Customer Center was mean spirited and unprofessional towards me the Customer. The overwhelming damage is my phone service will be discontinued for the holidays for lack of payment. because of the and I will be without the ability to call friends and family because of the actions of the Customer Service Agent me for which I will seek restitution for damages.

A. The Customer Care agent sounded irritated pushy and mean and was not friendly or courteous and her phone etiquette was not what a repeat customer of Wal-Mart deserves.

B. The Customer Care agent was wrong in that she did not explain to me the possible resolutions for my situation after hearing my concerns.

C. Exclusive of my concerns the Agent abruptly hung up and put my account in refund status, did not inquire about any further concerns that I might have which is an earmark of thorough professional Customer Service.

D. The Customer Care Agent seemed as if she didn’t like me from the beginning without any reason she hung up on me.

I saw this boy who is in my grade five class who was stealing some toys and i told someone who said assistent manager. I showed the manager the boy who was stealing the toys and they reported it to security, then i asked what reward they give and the manager said we don't give rewards but thanks for letting us no, since i did not get a reward the next time someone steals i will let them and not report it. The manager also lied when he reported the boy to security, he said the boy was nine years old and that is a lie because the boy is ten years old like i am and i told him that also. he should have asked before lieing.

I purchased a t-fal toaster on april 12 2010 at 6:53 pm and my wife left with the automobile and came back home at 9:30pm when we opened the box we noticed that the toaster in the box was a used one !

Walmart terrible experience!

Recently my husband had triple bypass surgery. I brought him home from a hospital in Pittsburgh, PA that is a 60+ mile drive to home in Hermitage, PA, in a snow storm that was the worst storm in our area's history. I got him home safely, however, I needed to get his prescriptions filled. Since we had all our prescriptions at Wal Mart I wanted to keep everything together. I walked up to the counter and handed the slip to the clerk. She looked at me and asked if i wanted all these filled today. I said yes. She said it would take 2 hours! I asked her if she know what the weather was like outside and told her my car would be buried in snow in 2 hours. I explained to them my husband was just out the hospital from triple bypass surgery and he needed these medications asap. She then said there were 80 people in front of me. I looked around and said i doubted that and if the 80 people were call-in refills I was positive that they would not be coming out is this snow storm to pick them up. She looked at the so called "Pharmist", looked back at me shrugged her shoulders. I grabbed the prescription list out of her hand and I have never by back to Wal Mart to buy anything since. We tried to contact the District & Regional Pharmacy Managers but neither would return our calls, they did not want to handle this and had the store manager call us. We explained to them our situation and it fell on deaf ears. BY THE WAY WE NOW GET OUR PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED AT WALGREENS!

OMG. We had a prescription filled at a Hermitage, Pennsylvania Wal Mart all the way back in 1993 for our son's ear infection medicine... we are military and were told by the pharmacist that they accepted Tri-Care. They did not. We received a bill for 32 dollars in Fort Polk for the prescription, which we firmly refused to pay stating "the pharmacist said Tri-Care would cover it." We held firm.

I guess it hasn't changed much.

Be thankful you didnt have then filled there.I was diagnosed with a form of breast cancer last September and was given several different prescriptions.One was an antibiotic.Well in May I had recieved from Kroger if I switched my prescips I could get $10 per prescrip up to $60 in Kroger gift cards.SO i switched thankfully I did! I wasnt suppose to have refills every 2 weeks since Spetember I was inly to have 1 refill so WALMART had me getting this filled every 2 weeks since September.I now cant take that antibiotic until they know it is FULLY out of my system which could be a year.Ill never have anything filled by WalMart again.BTW there wait time is always 1 1/2 to 2 hours or more its crazy!
PS I would have sued but an attorney told me it would be VERY costly for me as id have to pay him upfront to even start the process and WLAMART most likely would win because they have better lawyers.I talked to about 7 different attorneys who in a nutshell told me all the same thing.
