Walmart
Reviews and Complaints

We have been filling our RX's at wal-mart for quite some time, and have gone through some strange things, that we have overlooked but today we really had a problem my husband is disabled, on oxygen with copd, also cancer also we are both over 60yrs old, when we tried to go through the drive in window to pick up a pain rx for him we were told we would have to come in the store, even though this is your busiest store in Md. even though we have a handicapped tag there are never any handicapped spaces open and this means we have to walk quite a long way, this puts a lot of strain on my husband;s health. we had been getting the rx through the window before but today they would not fill the rx and let us sign for it through the window. there have been times that we have gone to this walmart store and some of the rx's were not filled, also there was a time that we were given the wrong person;s rx, we were told to just thow that rx away and come back and get our rx. this could be very dangerous.there have been times that the pharmacy has filled some of the rx's twice and not filled the rx's that were ordered. I feel there should be some kind of allowance for handicapped patients, and not the cold unfeeling treatment we have received in the past. the pharmacy in question is the George Clauss blvd pharmacy in Severn md. please try and do what you can to correct this problem we will probably not want to deal with this pharmacy until this is addressed.

I purchased great value dishwasher detergent, and I have used it 3 times..it has ruined my drinking cups which I just purchased from Sams, measuring cup, etc. It leaves a thick white chaulky residue on everything. I can not get the white substance off. I have washed by hand and everything still has the white residue on it. What can I do to get rid of the powder stuck on all my dishes...Cascade never did this to any of my dishes.

I shopped at Walmart this past Saturday afteroon. I made a small purchase of 6 items. I set my cell phone on the charge machine shelf, and proceeded to get my credit card and id out of my purse, I slid my credit card on the machine. When it was clear she wasn't going to ask for my id, I proceeded to put them back into my purse, when the clerk, spun the shopping bag "lazy susan" around and because she had not hooked my bag on one of the lazy susan hooks, my bag went flying off and landed on my feet, upside down and half of the merchandise fell out onto the floor on my feet. I was flustered by what the clerk had done, I bent over, to pick up the items, she handed my my receipt. I went to the door, walked out to my car, and at that point (60 seconds) realized that I had left my cellphone at the register. I walked back into the store, approached the clerk and told her that I was back for my cell phone, she looked at me with a startled look and said “Oh, that phone was yours? HE said it was his.” I asked WHO, HE? What guy?! And the customer in her line, replied “She asked who's phone it was, and he came up and said it was his”, she continued to say that he came up took the phone and went out the door. I asked if they would come to the door, and point him out, since I had no idea WHO I was looking for...they both looked at each other, like, I cant do it...and they shook their head, and played dumb.

After spending a few minutes by myself in front of the store trying to see if i could figure it out on my own, and asking a stranger to call my cell, trying to see if I could find the man, I came back the Customer service department, first asked for someone in security and then for the manager. The clerk there said, Loss Prevention, said there was nothing they could do. I then asked to speak to the manager on duty, a phone call was made however no manager ever came down. I finally left as I had to go home and change passwords etc, that were on my stolen cell phone. This was not a situation where I left my phone and someone else came up and slipped it into their pocket secretly. The clerk, made an announcement so that anyone could come up and claim it as their own. Seems to me that instead, she should have put it into a drawer, and when someone came into the store asking for a lost phone, that she should be asking them to identify it. Per the other female customer's admission to me, the clerk, announced to anyone who was within earshot, “Who's phone is this?”

Wouldn't a responsible Walmarts store policy be that an employee should hold a lost item in drawer till end of shift in case owner shows up and they must describe it (NEVER ANNOUNCE IT) ..and if customer does not come in by end of shift. Turn it into their lost and found department.

I was going to write a letter of complaint to the headquarters, or is it a waste of time. Do you have any suggestions about anything you would do?

I am writing on behalf of my grandmother she is disabled and requires a motorized wheelchair. the walmart in ardmore doesnt have enough motorized wheelchairs the ones at ardmore are always broke down and there are only 2 or 3 to begin with and they are always broke down. everytime we come in the one that is working is always broke down. please do something about this. your store may have some of the cheapest prices but we are willing to pay higher prices somewhere else that has more wheelchairs. also when the store was remodeled outside in the parking lot the turned a bunch of the angled handicap parking spots into parallel handicap parking spots taking out several of the handicap spots that my grandmother has had to park at the middle or end of a row. that is very inconsiderate of a corporation that prides itself on being the best. ardmore is a smaller town that is mostly made up of retirees instead of trying to be the biggest maybe you should understand the needs of the town that the store is located. i hope to see some changes soon in our store in ardmore

I've alway had a love/hate relationship with Walmart. I love the low prices, but the lines and the lack of customer service and quite frustrating at times. You get what you pay for. Recently though my local Walmart has been doing some renovation and the store is very different even from day to day. Right now the electronics department is split in two. This was very confusing and in the processes of trying to buy a new computer and a few accessories I found myself walking back and forth across the store a few more times than I'm willing to admit.

I wish they would just close the store for a week or two and get it over with rather than dragging this out for months. I know it'd cost them quite a bit in lost sales, but they customers I think would be much happier.

On Tuesday May 25, 2010 I took my children into Wal Mart in Kingfisher to do my shopping as usual, while we were in the process of checking out my son decides to have a meltdown, he is 8 years old and he has a mild for of autism and cannot control when these meltdowns will occur . While we were in line an associate walks by and tells me "to stick a bottle in his mouth maybe that will shut him up " refering to my son . This was a young male who works there and apparently has no sense of when to keep his opinions to himself . I realize that hearing a child crying and hollaring is stressful, I was stresed out enough trying to quiet him down, I did not need the added stress and embaressement of having a young kid smart off to me . I want to say Thank You to the more mature associates that were working that day, they were at least trying to help me calm my son down. As for that young kid who smarted off that day I hope appropriate action is taken to deal with his inappropriate behavior . I hope more employees are informed of this condtion and become more understanding of parents who deal with this disorder. Autism is real and comes in many forms .

Wal-mart needs to reconsider their hiring process. My friends' children work as managers at Department stores (Kmart)and recognize that customer service is what affects the bottom line. These ladies are young but have degrees and brains! I was at the Irvine Wal-mart t and had the displeasure of dealing with a manager with the IQ of my shoe size named Harry Garrison. I had come - with a receipt - to return a DVD that did not work. It had already been exchanged once and I refused to exchange it the second time as it was clearly a bad batch.After a 15 minute battle of raised voices in front of other customers and her total refusal to return my money she agreed to change it for the 3rd time. I accepted - went to another Target and returned it. Now you tell me! Is itWal-mart's policy to inconvenience a customer like this? What sense did that make. The DVD was open when I returned it so she did not want to take it back. She quoted the "law" to me that it was Wal-mart's s policy and no Government policy could override it. REALLY? So she exchanged it for an unopened one that I could return? Go figure! THAT my friends was VERY intelligent. Would you not say?

I went online to Walmart.com about 2 weeks ago and noticed a special of Pepsi products for $5.00 a case. I went to my local Walmart and they said they DO NOT HONOR ONLINE PRICES. I asked why, they said because the online prices would always be cheaper. I was pretty pissed. They suggested ordering it online. I went back to the website and there is NO WAY TO ORDER IT ONLINE! Or any other grocery items.

This is what you call FALSE ADVERTISING. I'm checking with a lawyer about this to see if I have a case.

We went to the WalMart in Aberdeen South Dakota to get new tires. When we got home we were short a hub cap. We called them and they said they had video of us leaving with all four, and they refused to replace it. We have never had any problem with our hub caps before this. If they had not done a shoddy job of putting them back on I would still have four hub caps. They do not appear to care that the loss was their fault, as long as they did not physically lose the hub cap or "forget" to put it back on they won't assume responsibility.

I have a big complaint! I took a sale ad into Walmart on January 20, 2010. They match sale ads and the store of the ad was out of the particular item I wanted to purchase. I pick up the sale ad item and some other non sale ad items I head for the register and an assistant Manager stops and informs me that He cannot honor the sale ad. I show him the ad and it is verified that it is a valid sale ad but, a delivery guy of the product I was price matching told the manager that it was a misprint. He did not give me the match! I was completely in shock because Walmart's customer guarantee is that they price match any competitors sale ad. I shop several times per WEEK at Walmart but, maybe not now!I received a raincheck from the sale ad store for the products that I needed! I think I will start doing more shopping at that store.

I love Walmart, please understand that I buy there often, but refuse to by clothing. Why, you ask...I am 62, love to dress up, skirts, sweaters, dresses, slacks and jackets. Wait...I'm 62 going on 35, I do not look 62 nor do I act 62, and I'm not ignorant of dress codes, but I like to pick flowers, not wear them. In Lebanon, Oregon, our Walmart has nothing cute, with a flare, nothing bright without the glare, everything is out dated, and over rated. Give me some style and I'll spend my big bucks at your store. What human has been given the right to act as consultants for myself and other gals here in Lebanon. There is either a very unknowledgable wardrobe department, or some female that has a mother complex and hates women over 40. Stupid clothes...

Walmart pharmacy in romeoville illinois, the wait is always a minimum of an hour! I'm sitting here in massive pain and there's no one @ the register and they can't even fill my script. Ridiculous. Never again!

Received Text # 44847 on 5/15/10 at 3:56 PM Unknown if this is a scam, but I did give all info requested by calling the listed phone #, and speaking to a rep (unidentified). Was told I could cancel within 30 days by calling [protected]. Have I been scammed, or is this real?

I got an High Milage Oil Change for my 1990 Nissan Maxima. After I got the car, I drove it home and on my way home the engine shut off on me. I never had that problem or any previous problem with the car, its the first. The same day I tried calling the store and the TLE department and no one picked up. Its a 24 hour 7 days a week store! So there shouldn't be no reason why the phone calls are not being answered. Before this car I had other cars where I brought to Walmart for an oil change and the car would make awful sounds and it would take a long time to start. I told myself that I would never get an oil change from Walmart but that day I had no choice and I was desperate to get an oil change and while I'm there I can shop. Today I went in the store and talk to the department manager and he said that them changing my oil does not have anything to do with my car shutting off. He ask if my engine light came on and I said no but my oil light came on. He then replied its probably my alternator. I couldn't believe it! If it was my alternator then why after I got the oil change it started acting up?! I vow I would never get my oil change at Walmart.

I have four tractor batteries I purchased from the Wal-Mart in Lebanon, Ohio. They have never actually been used as to draining current from them. They have been recharged once.

As I live about 20 - 30 minutes away by car, I called customer service first as I no longer have receipts (they were damaged by water and were no longer legible). I explained I would be purchasing a different kind of lead acid battery. They said fine, bring them in. So I did, and took them to the auto desk as instructed. The ***-ociate refused to return the core charge, and when I went to the manager, he said I "..only had 30 days to return them anyway". Apparently he doesn't understand, derspite my explaining it to him, that the core charge is not a return but a deposit because of the recyclying neccesary.

They are also penny wise and pound foolish as I won't, of course, be buying a new battery there but also IO won't be sp[ending a dime there ever again.

As I worked for Wal-Mart for a time I am familiar with the idea that once they have money, no matter what the idea is to keep it, regardless of the situation, but this angers me enough to turn me into an anti-Mal-Wart activist. A core charge is a deposit, it's not supposed to be part of their profit. Now I have four tractor batteries I'm stuck with that I have no use for.

I purchased 3 items and paid and exited via the Garden Centre door. On exit I was asked for and presented the receipt. The guard took the receipt and looked at it for almost a minute; it had 3 items. He then initialed the receipt. As I was preparing to leave the parking lot I noticed that others had exited but the guard did not look at their receipts. I had 1 small bag while others left with larger bags and soil.

When I spoke with the Store Manager; in my opinion, he was most unhelpful. He mentioned to me several times that he was not present to see what happened. This is not how a manager/leader is supposed to respond to a customer. If I took that attitude with clients, I would be fired. He made no effort to keep a customer but sought to attribute blame to the customer. Yes, I am now a former Wal-mart customer. They may be the closest to my home, but they are not the only game in town, they are not the cheapest, they do not have the best goods and do not provide the best value.

Incidentally, the guard is South Asian; I am Black but I suspect he may be following store (implied) policy.

I use to work 4 walmart from 01/18/2009 til04/17/2009 when I recieved my employee discount card in the mail. Well I was just movin into my own place in longview, tx. So we were still unpackin boxes when my grand daughter moved the mail that arrived that day from where I layed it; so to make a long store short I went to work like usually and whated 2 purchases some items while at work so I asked another assoiciate 2 let me use his discount card because I couldn't find mine. Then I went to customer service and asked could I use his card and they fired me. I never used the card or anything but I was terminated 4 stealing they say and then I not rehirible they say. Walmart has very poor customer and employee services since mr. Sam died they dont explain all these suppose 2 be rules 2 u when you are hired because they are trying 2 get you on their floor 2 be worked like a dog and then treated like a dog. I have seen them treat the best works they had like crap and sum customers. We all need 2 boy cott walmart 2 either do better or loss the american consumers bussiness. They say they have a open door policy thats not true, they say they value the consumers thats not so either they value our money$ what has our country become.

I will never get a Walmart money card ever again I tried to activate it and they refunded instead so now I am stuck with no money and I am not happy with this deal at all I do not know why it did this but I am not happy with this at all...

My husbands debit card was stolen recently and used at walmart.com. We caught the transaction quickly and called before the items were shipped out. We were told we would receive a refund. A week later my husband called to get the status of the transaction only to find the items were shipped and we will not given a refund. We were not entitled to know the items we purchased or the location of the shipment.We were victimized by having our checking account hacked into and walmart wouldn't as much as apologize for the incident. The most humorous aspect of this situation is that a company called CA Sunnyvale ARCOT systems charged my account shortly before the walmart transaction. I later was told that they are hired by Walmart to make sure that the credit card is not stolen. I paid for that service...go figure!
