Walmart
Reviews and Complaints

It is ridiculous that the government has now moved benign substances, which are inherently non-addictive but rather take dedicated ###s to turn then into meth, behind the pharmacy counter for the "pharmacist" to decide if you are deserving of the medication. Absolutely insulting to the vat majority of Americans. Also, as yor post indicates, such a system sets up a situation that is ripe for active discrimination by pharmacist. It's already an ordeal to get controlled medications from a pharmacist when you have a LAWFUL PRESCRIPTION. Whether your in pajamas covered in marijuana leaf decals or a 10000 Versace suit should not matter at all. Unfortunately, since pharmacist have been trained to believe themselves law enforcement officers they have slowly lost all concepts of customer service. When you're in law enforcement you are openly suspicious and confrontational. Our US Government has crively encouraged and trained pharmacist to be like this as part of our ridiculous hysteria with drugs and the "war on drugs". I've had several unpleasant encounters with pharmacist regarding my pain medicine for a military accident. Of course they act like jerks when they fill my script eventually, like they're doing me a favor. I'm sick if it. I've taken narcotic painkillers for a year and I've never be one this feared "drug addict" the government is so terrified of us all becoming. You have to actively tell yourself that you don't want to be dependent on any pill and take them as prescribed and you're fine. But I regress, I'm sorry you were treated like that but until the DEA is abolished and our country returns to a state of sanity than we can expect to pharmacists looking at themselves like doctors/law enforcement officers. And te best part? There is no recourse when their behavior becomes appalling. Why? Because pharmacies are in short supply of pharmacist and schools actively deflate candidates for pharmacy school IOT keep salaries artificially high. I don't care what anybody says, and I've heard many arguments, but pharmacists' jobs are by and large filling bottles with pills for 10 hours a day an making six figures. This creates a real sense of holier than thou type attitudes. Almost every time I get a new script filled the pharmacist NEVER take the time to ask me if I have any questions. And most people aren't taking drugs which interact to kill them. The whole pharmacy profession is out of control, but, again, that's largely due to our state and federal government's war on citizens-er, I mean drugs. And I'm a republican and in the military and usually defend law enforcement but this war in drugs in my opinion, looking at it in it's entirety, has caused way more harm than good!

They thing is happing me now.. Send a fax copy of my husbands DL said willl take ten days... Blah Blah... My husband also had his pay check D.D.. I'm ###ING PISSED...

"as much as they charge for the majority of their products"

...Really?! People do make mistakes. $100 off is very generous.

as much as they charge for the majority of their products, well they should have plenty of money to hire people that are competent enough to do the job CORRECTLY in the first place . yeah they should honor the mistake ..maybe then they'll stop hiring dumb ### people to do such an easy job as placeing tags on products.

Why don't you show us the picture you have on your phone of the tag ?

First off, have you heard of PUNCTUATION? It comes in handy when you are posting a comment. That way ppl dont run out of breath, and are able to comprehend what you have said while trying to read your stupid complaint. It's not Wal Mart's fault that there are carts in your COURT (not "cort"). It's the damn theives that steal them and then abandon them in your court.

I do not believe people are stealing Wal Mart baskets! In my town there are 3 Wal Marts, a Target, 2 Meijers, and 10-12 other big grocers. The Wal Mart stores are the only ones with no baskets. Do thieves steal only from Wal Mart stores? NO! This is an old retailers' trick to force people into using larger carts; the theory being bigger carts equals more purchases. This is why Wal Mart has only one giant size shopping cart whereas other stores have large and small plus hand baskets. Wal Mart simply does not want your business if you are only buying enough to fill up a hand basket.
There are three methods to prevent theft of baskets: 1. point of purchase confiscation; 2. greeter confiscation; 3. anti theft tags which are so cheap even antacid tablets have them! Wal Mart uses none of these methods while other stores use a combination. The Target store in my town has had the same dirty red baskets for 20 years; their check out clerks confiscate them at the registers.

I remember when my store had 1000 new baskets. We now have 12. Like Lisa said, people steal them

That's why the Winona Walmart has tags in the baskets that will set off the door alarms. You cannot leave the store with the baskets at all, so they are seated just past the door security alarms, normally, not out in the shopping cart area.

People probably think they make good toy baskets. I mean, why buy one when you can walk out of the store with a store basket.

I work for walmart-and people keep stealing the shopping baskets! What for, I don't know. But every time we order any, within weeks, we are right back down to only 2 or 3. So, management only orders them about once a year. They can't replace them as fast as they go away-they cost a lot more than you think. Thanks, Lisa

Check WalMarts website and see if they have an address or maybe a feedback area that you can make the suggestion for baskets. Maybe send a letter of suggestion to the corporate office. May not do any good but you'll never know if you don't at least try. Good luck.

I cannot agree more. i used to ENJOY shopping at Walmart, but they have been going downhill for the last 5 yrs or so. I just got home from shopping at a Walmart in Grand Prairie, TX. The store was very busy, lots of people checking out, but only 4 check out lanes open. I had to wait about 25 minutes to check out. Why does Walmart operate like this? Do they simply not want our business? Is it a hint for Americans to shop elsewhere? If Walmart doesn't get their act together soon, folks are going to get fed up, and Walmart will turn into the next Sears. Also, Walmart used to sell groceries at a much cheaper price than its competitors, but that is no longer the case. I still might end up paying a dollar or two more at a conventional grocery store, but paying a buck for descent customer service and open checkout lines is more than worth it!

I actually find different Wal-Marts have differences in pricing. The Wal-Mart near my parents house really has little to no price difference compared to Cub Foods, but the Wal-Mart near my home saves me at least $50 a month shopping there.

I don't know where you guys are, but up here in Canada I really don't find a difference in pricing. Yeah, it might be like 50 cents on some items, but man I'll just take my money elsewhere like you suggested. For the extra 5 dollars it will cost me to shop somewhere else, I'll spend the money. My time is worth more than that.

Our Wal-Mart has self checkouts, people are just too slow and stupid to make them useful.

So true, it's not just Wal-Mart up here that does that too. Canadian Tire, Zellars, and most of the big box stores up here. Home Depot and Lowes at least still have the self checkouts. I also hate most of the others stores for other reasons.

Most credit card companies will close your delinquent account once it is paid off. Often times before. If you aren't going to pay for what you charge, why would you think they would continue to extend credit to you? More than likely, once you stopped paying, your credit score dropped below what their lender thought was acceptable thereby prompting them to close your account. They offer credit insurance for a reason. Accidents happen, however, don't blame the credit card company or the store if they no longer wish to continue your credit after non-payment. Be thankful a closed account is all that happened.

Brad Russell - I agree with you in part. The truth is, a store is only as good as their manager is. Some Walmart managers are NOT good managers and equipment like this goes unrepaired for months or years on end which is why I've said, dial 1-800-walmart to complain. That goes in to the PR Department in Bentonville, AR, and they DO care.

At least this parent cares enough about their children to try to keep them safe. How many parents do you see with small children in standing up and crawling all over shopping carts because they're not buckled in? I cringe when I see that because I know children have died while doing that. Some parents simply shouldn't be parents because they're either too stupid or too lazy to adequately care for their offspring.

If the equipment has a space for seat belts, they're suppose to be there. If one of those children gets hurt because they are not there, Walmart would be liable for a lawsuit.

For those of you who think this is a moot or absurd point, seat belts were installed on shopping carts because children falling over the side of them hit their head on the concrete floor, and several have died from head injuries. If you don't consider that important, I feel sorry for you.

"The new ones, $400 EACH. I know. I asked."

Yes, but the cost of the straps is negligible.

They are ordered in the tens of thousands further decreasing their cost.

AND I can guarantee you, WALMART'S ATTORNEYS WANT THEM ON EACH AND EVERY SINGLE CART THE CHAIN OWNS - so if an accident does happen on a properly installed belt, it isn't Walmart's fault.

VALID complaint.

Those straps are there for a reason - because in the past, an accident happened that hurt a youngster.

Not having the straps is increases the store's legal exposure.

Not using them increases the parent's responsibility.

I bet if you dial 1-800-WALMART, those straps will be in that store installed in those carts before the end of the week because not having them makes the Walmart attorneys on staff crazy.

1-800-WALMART goes directly into their Public Relations Department in Bentonville, AR, and they WILL react to VALID complaints - and this is one.

Look the whole shopping cart safety deal and what not, here's the scoop, Wal-Mart in fact does make a very good effert to take bad carts out of cerculation to be repaired but the number of customer to to number of carts being damaged is high which in turn makes all the harder to keep on top of picking bad ones out of the good ones quickly enough. The greeeters and associates who collect the carts do there best to manage the problem. So if your one store is struggling to keep up or waiting for parts keep in mind they also have to process and maintain everything else in the store as well . I may have gotten off track a bit but the jest of it is the employees do what they can to keep bad carts out. Take a good look at the back of a store every once an awhile you will see all the damaged carts they have to deal with all the time. :) Yes i practically live at Wal-Maet and see first hand the effort thats put into store safety overall period.

The seat belts are probably made in the same Chinese sweat shop the rest of their products are made in. Citizens of this country need to revolt against this company!

People like this are what give the South a horrible reputation. If you want to spew all this racist, sexist, bigoted crap, I'm sure there's a KKK group near you for you to take it to... but I would much rather see you go to a psychiatrist, because you are clearly crazy. "I'm not racist but that guy was a ###!" Yeah, that would be racism. So yes. You are racist, and on top of that, I bet you're 55 with a fake tan and fake nails, caked-on makeup and sweatpants with the word "juicy" written on the ###. Take your attitude back to the trailer park where it belongs. You aren't beautiful... you're the one of the ugliest people I've ever had the displeasure to meet.

"beauty*

If you are attrtactive as you say, you are living proof beaty is only skin deep, racist, bigotted low-life trash.

Why did my comment come out with all kinds of errors?

It seems like you are one unhappy racist ### who can't spell. You hate gays, you hate other nationalities, you hate let me see... MEN! Whatever is up your ### must be pretty big for you to carry on like this about a minor error by a worker who is probably working his ### off for minimum wage. You better hope you never run into me. I'll show you what kind of change you deserve!

You sound like an ignorant piece of ###. Your talking all this ### and saying racial slurs but yet say you don't mean to be racist...### you are racist! Hilarious thing of all is that you are complaining about something so darn petty! The man did a simple mistake. I'm sure his intentions in the end were to give you that dollar back. If you dumb ### could spare a few mins to get your "$1" back then that becomes your problem which you will have to deal with. I bet you did not show any sign of frustration either because you are nothing but a cowardly, ignorant POS who can only vent via the internet. It's people like you who waste space in this society. Dumb ###!

Ook...

Or, you know, it could just be because you're a racist ###. I mean damn, just look at your response to it. He made a genuine mistake and you just went psychotic.

I think many people who are making things now have always made things to save money. It's something that people usually commit to from the beginning.

I'm with you there mollie. They are very similar in price now with things like toilet paper and cat food, so I go elsewhere for those items.

The Wal-Mart in my town still has the cheapest products compared to other places.

They definitely should have offered store credit.

In my experiences stores will either credit the original credit card or give a store credit. I am not surprised they would not give you cash but I am also surprised you did not receive at least a store credit.

Purchased glasses on 1/15/2013 : single vision lenses with a scratch resistant, glare coating or so I was told. Returned to store today 3/21/13 because lenses scratched when placed in my pocket last week while assisting in a code/CPR. Glasses were in pocket about 25 minutes. The cost of the coating was 40% of the lenses cost. I was told that I was past 60 days and they would not replace the lenses nor would they send them for re-coat or polishing. They don't provide the services. I did not get the glasses until after the 25th of Jan. and I had worked the last 7 days in a row from 7a-7p, , so there is no way I could have gone in at or before day 60. They would not honor their guarantee. They do not provide any customer service for the lenses they sell. All Wal-Mart wants to do is sell you more poor quality lenses. The lenses had only been in use from Jan 25th until March 15th when the lenses got scratched in my pocket. I will go somewhere where service is provided from now on. I hate paying out hard earned money for poor quality goods.

Wal-Mart Vision Center attempted to sell me used frames. I paid over $300 for the frames and the lens and when I was handed them the case was dirty and the frames were clearly used and had glue residue from the price tag and the company logo had letters missing. They told me they will reorder new frames for me. Just info.

Last June i had my eye exam done In the Ephrata, Pa Walmart Vision Center. At this time there was not many frames available to choose from that my insurance company covered, the selection was very sparse, contrary to the more expensive frames, there were plenty of choices. Hence i chose a more expensive frame. My prescription required bifocals. I got them they were so off that it was giving me a headache and was hard to even walk with out messing up my equilibrium, i was told that i needed to learn to walk and use the bifocals. in Nov, i lost my glasses, went to get new ones. Walmart Vision Center said i can get the cheaper frames at no charge because of the 100% guarantee replacement policy. Well if it was 100% then why did i have to go with the cheaper frames? well i took the cheap frames and when i picked them up the glasses were not bifocals? just plain lens. I took them cuz i needed to see to work. 3 months later the frame broke. I went back they repaired no charge. then in May i got a post card saying i needed to schedule my yearly eye exam. Okay its now towards END of June i scheduled for my only day off in 2 weeks and received a call the day before saying that i can have the exam however if need a different script on my lenss the insurance company wont cover because i had the new glasses given to me in NOV..(which were the FREE replacement, under THEIR guarantee) So when calling the store to question the issue, ALLISON was extremely rude to me, said she cant do anything and asked my why my insurance company wont allow it? I said to her well how or why would I know, walmart vision is the one who billed my insurance FRAUDULANTLY in Nov. for FREE replacement. I told her two times the situation, time frame, and she said nothing she can do and that i need to call insurance and figure it out. I told her it was not my responsibility because they fraudulently put a claim through, how will my insurance company know any different from what they are billed. she said hold on...put me on hold for 5 min came back and said nothing she can do. I said let me speak to a manager perhaps they can figure it out. She said she isn't here to call tomorrow...i asked her name because of how she handled my situation, ALLISON THE WALMART VISION CENTER EPRHATA PA employee then turned to another co-worker as i was on the phone and said "can you believe this, shes going to report me". I was shocked, ask I am in the Customer service industry, and just came out of a 3 day seminar for this specific issue, the lack of professionalism, the lack of helping customers with their issues, and helping them solve them. I called the walmart store manager, he said there was other complaints about the same things, and he tried to get me the information i needed however since the vision center is a "sister" store he was not sure how to contact cooperate office. He said he would help in any way possible, and was very pleasant and apologetic. I will be following up and making this right. Or i should say hold walmart vision center Ephrata pa accountable for insurance fraud claims and bad service as well as lack of candor in making sure vision prescriptions are handled properly. I now have a hard time seeing and since i have gotten the glasses it seems my eyes are getting worse ...faster. must be their way of having continued business by ruining people eyesight and making fraudulent claims, selling cheap glasses and not offering enough selection for the frames that insurance companies cover. in this day and age we need strong businesses who are not trying to rape the consumer of every penny, but offer the best at a decent price and quality that will keep the continued business of the customers. Isn't this walmarts philosophy? why don't they require the same from their sister stores?

The $38 pair of glasses is for clear, single vision plastic lenses for $29, and a $9 frame. There is a 60 day satisfaction guarantee, the glasses can be refunded within this time, or you can opt to get single vision reading glasses. The doctor fee, on the other hand, is non refundable.

I had problems with Walmarts vision center also. I was drawn in by the $38.00 for a pair of glasses sign. When the smoke cleared it cost me $199.00. After the initial shock I knew I needed a second pair of glasses, so I was fine with the price. When I picked them up they were out of focus and I could not find the bifocle part of the lens. They re-examined me and made some corrections and said the glasses were not measured correctly. I picked them up a week later and I am still having the same problems; out of focus. I got tired of messing with them and put them up. Who knows my vision may change to the point where I can use them. I do not think they made any corrections on the lenses. I think they gave me the glasses back in the same condition as when they first were made. I am not happy about the experience, so I will take it as a lesson learned.

You're a POS Weeres. Scamming and hurting people from BC to NB and everywhere in between. I hope you get ALL you deserve and then some. Still bopping your wh*re Becky aka Rebekah Donszelmann aka Rebekah Louise Weeres. Tell her I wish her daddy, your father in law well. He's on trial right now eh? For 97 counts of fraud and theft?
