Walmart
Reviews and Complaints

I can't complain. Did I really beleive anyone is giving away $1, 000. I'll just unsubscribe to all products I am not in need of.

I did summit one before but after thinking about what i wrote ...sounded more like a young person over exadrateing, so i'm going to get down to the core of the prob with full detailed info that may aid Custimers wondering why employees are so rude..
Ok i started off in the radeo grill i followed as directed and was told by multiple people i cleaned it best and was the best cook and server, but i got shoved out by my current maneger to be replaced by her daughter in law who needed a job turned out she didnt do so well and quite after 1 month.
moveing on i was then placed in dairy, not so bad right well my manger made me pull 3 trucks during the holidays 27 -28 pallets of fright ALONE and with a handjack i wasnt certified to oprate the power jack and he would not allow me to get the training, one more thing...the hangjacks were broken so made things alot harder, so much so my butt touched the grown when i pulled them. turns out i ended up pulling both my shoulders and injuring my back. store manger didnt care all they cared about was the money spent on work related injury. it gets better ;)...he then would ask that i wrap milk creats and pull them to the back not so bad right? well it was at night time and it was raining he locked me out side, out back, ware theres no camera, at night and in the rain i then had to walk around to the front soaking wet only to have to work in the cooler for another 4 hours, His exsuce *oh i'm trying to make her a better worker*.
moveing on (Produce) i move to this department and it was indeed a much better time the manger over this one was a wonderful person In my opinion but -_- unforchently the department one was not...at first he was impressed with me i kept in clean, well organized and my custimers were pleased, suddenly he got angry with me becouse i didnt want to buy his car...he thin started strinking arguments with me every chance and even ask my MOTHER if i was retarted or just stupid...he got so bad i moved my scedal to avoid him i was literly afraid of him and my manger that was so wonderful had moved on the new one thank hevens shifted me to the Deli..
now it gets interesting, at first was great got along with every one till they relized i was fast -_- now i find my self sliging chicken, makeing salads, sliceing meat, chease, makeing sandwitches, rotisarys, washing dishes stocking the case and the wall, takeing out the trash, putting up new friaght, while still haveing a smile on my face for an upset custimer horrasing me becouse i didnt get to them before the person who was there first...ware are my co-workers?...well i take a look and =O...one is talking on her cell phone, wares the other ?...shes eating the food i so lovely prepard out of the hot case with out paying for it...well wares the other ...makeing sandwitches i already made becouse she hates custimers and no one will say anything to her becouse shes and older grumpy lady...stull luv her...well ware the 5th! she went to break after being there for 1 hour...no i'm not exadrating this is my daily routin...and custimers wonder why i look unplesent at times...why? simple, thanks to walmart my manger literaly drives me like a slave and thanks to her unknown dislike with me i had to drop out of GED classes becouse my scedal consisted of 1st, 2nd and 3rd shifts becouse she tricked me into opening me scedal so i could be trasfrered to the backery ware i so despreatly want to work, witch she ofer then told me wasnt availible the hired someone new into it. i have Depretion, high blood presure, IBS, back probs, migrans and extremly high stress and i'm 24 ;). my husband lost his job resently witch means i cant quite, becouse i'm the only income i cant rake the mony back up for schooling, i cant even aford a visit to the doc, i would just like to thank walmart for ruining my life and stealing my future becouse they dont take interest in the problems of the employees. oh one more thing for anyone who may wonder ware you manger leard there disrespect Brownsburg Indiana, this store is consittered the best and is ware mangers travel from all over the USA to tran its also the place ware ive had my wonderful exsperences.

When you receive your receipt from walmart it asks you to take a short survey... It's not really short. The complaint is that after you have put in your information (And it is adamant that you do not use a po box or you won't qualify) when you get to the actual survey information you still will not qualify if you do not accept and fulfill two of their suggested sites products. Specifically it reads "congratulations, to qualify for your free $1000.00 walmart gift card start by fully completing any two top offers below!". If it is a survey, why do I have to complete some other sites products which will cost me money and I have no guarantee that this site will ever inform walmart's site that I have completed their sites requirements. No where on walmarts receipt does it state that I will have to complete another companies anything! Nor purchase anything from another company in order to qualify.in fact walmart's receipts state "no purchase necessary to enter or win". Having to complete another companies surveys or purchase another companies products is just the opposite. Is shop and spend way too much money at walmart all over the states to be manipulated like this.

On 8/29/09 I went to the vison center at the Hannibal Wal mart supercenter to get my eyes checked for contacts. The optomitrists name was Marler. It took him all of 10 minutes to do the exam. I have had exams before and know it takes at least 30 minutes or more to do the exam. He gave me some sample contacts to wear for a week. When I returned for my follow up appointement I told him I couldn't see very well with them. He checked my eyes again, this time it took about 5 minutes, and changed the prescription, I was told to wear them for a week again and return for another follow up. I told him I was still having a problem. He told me it was astignatism causing the problem, that he could fix only 2 things with contacts and since I had to have help with distance and had to have a bifocal, I would have to live with the astigmatism. I excepted that, but why can't i read close up or see in a distance without it being blurry? Between the exam and the contacts it cost me about $100.00. I think they should refund my money or give me a proper exam and new contacts that work. If they are going to provide this service they need to do a better job of it with competent staff.

Took my granddaughter to the local Walmart to buy some fish and a fish tank...Almost all of the fish in the tanks were dead and some already decaying...the store mgr Mark claimed he knows and they have been having problems...those dead fish were in there for days to be decaying like they were...how horrifying to show my 3 yr. old granddaughter all those dead fish! Shame on you Walmart! Clean out the tanks at least until you can fix the problems!

Recently we transferred pur prescriptions to Wal Mart from Sam's Club. The first time we needed refills, the trouble began...two of mine needed to be authorized for refills by the Dr. I called the Dr.'s office myself to let them know to be expecting a request from a new pharmacy, Wall Mart in Belleville. When I went to pick them up two days later, they ( the pharmacy clerk) said they didn't have them. That the Dr. never called back. So, I dialed my Dr.'s office to inquire and was told that they had faxed the authorization the previous day.
The person at the counter proceeded to argue with me, that I was wrong. Of course, the fax was nowhere to be found. I had to request a second fax . at which time, lo' and behold, the first one magically appeared! Imagine that!

Unfortunatly, that did not solve the problem. Every time we need refills, we can't just call them in and expect to be able to pick them up
in a timely fashion.

The most recent ( today ) experience just broke my camels back! A week ago Monday, September 7, I called in 3 prescriptions, knowing two needed authorization from the Dr. on Thursday, the 10, I went to pick them up, and was told they only had one, as the Dr. hadn't returned their call. O.K., I figured, I could wait another day or two for them. One is Hydrlozine for High Blood Pressure, and the other is my anti-depressant. Well, today I went again to pick them up, and was told they did not have them. I said I know better, as I was at the Dr.'s office yesterday and asked her about it, she checked my chart and assured mr they had authorized the refills the 1st. of the week.

Now, I have been without my Blood pressure medicine and my anti-depressant for 10 days as of today. They didn't even offer to give me a couple to carry me over till we could get this worked out. Not that they care! Today I asked what was wrong with that pharmacy? I NEVER had this kind of problem at Sam's Club in O'Fallon, IL.!
The people at Wal Mart are really STUPID!

I used this card to pay a surcharge for my son. They took out the money twice. I immediately informed them of this and asked to be refunded for the problem, I was told I had to wait for this to post. When it posted then they told me that it was the merechants fault and I would have to take it up with them. I bought this card and have my entire paycheck direct deposited and I wa s told that if money was lost or stolen it would be replaced. This is not what happpened. No one will return my mmoney and I am left with NO MONEY FOR GAS AND WILL HAVE TO MISS WORK, I m the only income and this is horrible! Can't anyone be trusted and believed anymore?

I will start this letter off saying I am not happy with my daughter has done, nore do I endorse it.

However my daughter and I went shopping. My daughter wanted to look at the toys. After we met up again my eleven year old daughter was arrested for shoplifting. I thought they were just arresting her because she was black. However she was actually shoplifting.

However here is where the unfair treatment is. If my daughter had been white they would never have suspected her. She would have gotton away with it.

The security had the nerve to tell me that they have been watching her for a few weeks because she was acting suspicious. I guess all blacks are suspicious in their eyes.

They lied to me and said that my daughter was trying to steal before. My daughter admitted this, however if my daughter had been white they would never have caught her in the first place because they would never suspect she would steal.

I have punished my daughter for this. I told her she was not allowed to go to her girl Guide meeting. However the fact that she is black is the major reason she was arrested. They would not have even looked at her if she was white.

She stole Barbie dolls and Polly Pockets for your information.

I recently received an email of a number of security photos of Walmart customers. There were condecending captions beneath each, making fun of the customers.
It is quite obvious that Walmart employees are copying these "security" photos and releasing them at the expense of their customers.
If anyone looks odd you can plan on these photos being published on the world wide web. Makes you feel good that Walmart is protecting you. As a customer I can expect to be exploited and ridiculed and Walmart obviously needs to have the cameras turned on their employees. Bad business. Reason not to shop there. I feel sorry for the victims of this email whose families are seeing this and embarrassed by the cruel comments.

First off I LOVE Walmart and this is more of a suggestion than a complaint. When I first saw all the white cans, boxes and containers with the navy writing I said what is this?

Everything looks so low budget and generic. Taking the color from the products is kind of confusing for instance green beans, the whole had a orange background, the no-salt had blue, the cut had green and the french style purple. Now they are all in white cans with navy writing.

Don't get me wrong I am not to lazy to read the contents of the product, which takes time, it's just that it looks better overall.

I have spoken to many family and friends and they agree. I don't know whose idea this was or if it saves a lot money, but please reconsider. I love the Great Vaule Products. Thank You!

I recently went to this WalMart to get an oil change. Being a wise consumer I called ahead due to it being a holiday weekend and asked what time they closed. I was told by the person who answered the phone 6 p.m. I proceeded about 2:30 to go the service center, walked in and was greeted by satan herself. I stated I was there to get an oil change and she said "NOT TODAY YOU WON"T WE ARE CLOSING" I didn't say another word because it I had and she responded inapproperiately I was not responsible for my actions. I know these people are not paid much and have limited social skills, but i Feel that WalMart belives it is the only place in town, and there for not responsible for good customer relations or service. I am sick and tired of WalMart and the I want then to know they are not the only game in town. I will forever take my business else where even if it cost me more money. If people don't take stand this will only get worse.

SICK and Tired of the foolishness

i have been a cashier at walmart for almost two years. i am qualified to be a CSM and have passed the test for it. my IPH is somewhere around 1, 000 (which basically means that im really fast.) i started on oct 2nd 2007 and i was fired aug 31t 2009. 3 days shy of being one month away from my two yr anniversary. my CSM tells me 10 min before my shift ended, that i was wanted in the office.

i went back to the office and the first thing i saw on the screen was "notice of separation from walmart INC"

they told me that i was away from my reg too much. that and i was doin homework on my last break so on accident i took a 33 min break instead of the allotted 15.

they mainly fired me because of "being away from my reg too much" wat the heck...are you kidding me? such bull ###!

ok, when i say that i have a 1, 000 IPH...the required IPH (items per hr) is 420.

i have about 100 costumers that earch me out when they shop because they want to get in and out fast! sry guys im not there anymore

Well my local walmart store did not want to replace my battery, that it's still under the three year free replacement warranty, because I didn't have a receipt. The battery has the production sticker of 08/07 and I showed them but still they wouldn't take that. I asked them if they could look up the transaction since I payed with my debit card. They rudely said no. Which I think it's bs. They can't look up a transaction that was made two years ago but they f$&kin' expect to keep a damn little piece of paper. Wow walmart, you lost a customer. My wife works at a department store and they're always looking up transactions of people that don't bring their receipts. I'm going to call corporate.

i have shopped wal-mart for years, i can no longer stay silent about this part of wal-mart, i have purchased meat that has been consistently bad, just last week and this week i have had to take back meat items, within the last year i have had to take back meat items at least once once a month maybe more, i like shopping at wal-mart but i will be purchasing my meat elsewhere. julie shaffer

On Friday August 21, 2009 shortly before 9 PM, my daughter and grandchildren visited the Enid, Oklahoma Wal-Mart. My 5 year old grandson Charlie has a form of Autism called Asperger's. There are times when the weight of his clothing is too much for him to bear and he will remove his clothing. There times Charlie will either become afraid or over-stimulated by loud noises, crowds, and being touched by strangers, and this will set him to stemming and verbal noises. Charlie has a phobia of using public rest rooms, mainly because of the echoes that are magnified from the busy store. On the 21st, Charlie was wearing a t-shirt, shoes and a diaper; all of which was purchased from that very Wal-Mart. His hair was washed with shampoo purchased at Wal-Mart, as was the lotion on his skin, the soap he was bathed with.. well you get where I am going with this, right? Wal-Mart is one place where Charlie has felt safe, because his mother, uncle, and myself worked at the same Wal-Mart in Hillsboro, Texas until we moved to Enid. On this particular evening, my daughter was standing in line at the Pharmacy when an Associate, also in line, began to tell the cashier about the 6, 7, or 8 year old wearing a diaper, how the parents didn't care for him or they would potty train him or not bring him to the store in a diaper, among other things that were inappropriate on many levels. These things were said in the presense of customers, employees and the mother of the child in question. Shortly after this event, I entered Wal-Mart to pick up a few items for the weekend. I was greeted as usual by the friendly Associates when I heard my precious Charlie call my name. My daughter had been crying as a result of the verbal slandering she had witnessed at the Pharmacy. Being a former Vision Center Associate, I know that Wal-Mart takes every opportunity to educate the Associates on proper conduct and customer service. I was not upset with Wal-Mart, simply the offending Associate. I went to the Customer Service desk and spoke with Mel, the night manager who assured me that they would take care of the situation. Mel said that she believed that she knew which Associate had slandered my daughter and grandson and that it would be addressed as soon as the manager came in. I called to speak with the manager on the 22nd, and spoke with Lori, the assistant manager who then promised that the matter would be resolved as soon as she spoke with the manager on Monday. I asked for an apology to my daugher and grandson. Lori said I would hear from the manager on Monday the 24th. Here it is, Saturday August 29, and no one has returned my phone call as Lori promised. I gave her my cell and work numbers, and (husband)'s cell. I am now, not upset; I am mad! I will have an apology for my daughter and Charlie from Wal-Mart. I will be attending the 4R Kids Walk on 9/19/09, I will share my story with this group, on my blog, Enid News & Eagle, Autism Society, and anyone who will listen... Carla J. Price

I was sold a pair of glasses containing "Digamax" that was supposed to enhance the peripheral vision. When the glasses arrived, I wore them as instructed and had difficulty driving because of the "fuzziness" in my vision. After attempting to adjust for 2-3 weeks, I had my vision retested and the glasses checked. One lense was defective and was replaced. However the vision problem continued. I was told by the centers employee that if I was unable to use the glasses, they would remake them without the Digamax and remove the $300 charge from my credit card. I tried for another 2 weeks and had the glasses remade. New glasses were fine but the charge has never been returned and the employee has left the company. New employee will not do anything about the situation.

On August 21st at the Wal-Mart on411 in Rome, Ga I was shopping and during that time a storm came up.When I returned to me vehicle a lose Wal-Mart buggy hit my tail light.I went right in and filed a complaint the manager took pictures.Then the guy from claims said they were not responseable but he all so said the pulled the buggy guy off leaving buggys everywhere to hit peoples cars, I could understand if someone pushed it into my van but it was a Wal-Mart buggy that did. All I wanted was a tail light for my vehicle.
