Walmart
Reviews and Complaints

the employees of this store, not all of them some of them are very rude and unhelpful. When you ask a question or as for help they either arent in that department or they are on break so they dont have to help you further. sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get to someone who will help you or lead you in the right direction.

What happened to customer satisfaction? Did it go to Mexico and China along with all the second rate products the store now carries? This problem is from the Manager all the way down to the employee. Tell you what Walmart, if you spent half the time and money working on employee managers and helping customers as you do reorganizing your stores you'd have a much better business. Its sad that all of our home town stores are going out of business for your Corporate takeovers and that the wonderful small store owners who are happy and glad to help a customer get replaced by your corporation with second rate employees.

I recently applied at walmart they called me and offered me a job, i was hired, the third day after my tests
I received a letter telling me I had a prior arrest 4 years ago, that was not letting me be a walmart employee.
I was not even asked about it. I am more than qualified, id say way more than qualified, but my point,
im getting there.
Later I was shopping at walmart with my family, i seen a employee doing hand gestures to another
employee, at first I thought it was sign language, well i suppose to them it was, this was a spanish speaking
person that could not speak english to her co-worker, I was going to assist them sence they both looked utterly
stupid!, but I did'nt, I mean they were smart enough to work there, I supposed they could figure it out themselves.

if you dont know the person then u really have nothing to say!you need to get your fact straight before you judge someone else.sharpeye

Kind of hard to be nice if Walmart preys upon the poor and desperate and they know it. I saw first hand many people were working on their lunch break because corporate set unrealistic expectations. They act like thugs and encourage thug like behavior. They tell us we must report any employees that uses words like a liveable wage? Union talk was to be reported to management right away. As a member of management i was shown a video about how a store went union and Walmart closed it down as a message to other employees "Don't *uck with us because we can leave town in a days notice if you unionize the store.
There is a higher markup on chinese made goods and they are made so cheaply that after a few months it will break and the customer will have to buy another one again. They count on customers having to buys the goods again and again.
They just spent another 1, 000, 000 on remodeling the store and they can't seem to find the money to pay better wages. The pretend to care about the workers and pretend to care about the customers. They act as if they are too big to give a damn. too bad.
I have seen it all and it is such a hostile work environment that it violates the federal laws everyday without regard for the law. You dont like it here ...shop elsewhere...you dont like working here then quit and get a job somewhere else...good luck...haha.
Corporate welfare does not work and does not really benefit the community.

she should call first and see if they have the Item in stock! or go to the fitting room and ask for help they allways help me when I ask!

she should cll first and see if they have the item in stock! and go to the fitting room and ask if they can find someone to help them I'm sure they will help they are allways nice to me at Walmart!

so whats ya complaint im pretty sure on the app it asked about felonies or misdemeanors and you know damn well ya background is gonna be checked so why hide it

i guess we should start letting convicted child molesters work in day cares. Oh and all the convicted drug users could be pharmycists! How bout the car thiefs being valets? obvious to say I agree with Mary.

Well Richard, sounds like you just might be an accomplice. Such a lot of information from
a law abiding citizen.

My daughter had the same problem, double charged on her credit/debit card. She went to the head manager after a CSM kept staring at my daughters credt card & arguing with her. The manager told my daughter to give it a day or so, the charge must be a ghost charge (whatever that is). After a week, my daughter had to finally go to her own bank & dispute the charge. The money was returned to her account, after the bank got involved, in 24 hours.

Return policy on tv's is 90 days, WITH receipt! Yes, they might carry that model and they might have been carrying is for 6 or more months. If the product doesn't ask for the serial number to be scanned, there is NO WAY to tell when it was sold! Why is it ALWAYS Walm-Mart's fault if an item is defective. They purchase from wholesalers and offer it to John Q. Public who doesn't HAVE to buy it!

To the commenter, you're pissed because they realized that someone who wasn't you was using your credit card to make a purchase? Did you ever stop to think that maybe they were doing that for your protection in case the card was stolen? Sounds like you're the "nitwit."

Don't talk to me Jason. I changed it to 14 cause I turned 14 yesterday. I am in grade eight and not interested in getting laid yet.

YOU ARE RIGHT BILLY DUDE 14. THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT. I GUESS THE 21ST CENTURY DOESN'T SET WELL WITH ME BECAUSE I AM OLD AND SET IN MY WAYS AND I GREW UP WHERE A MAN WAS AS GOOD AS HIS WORD, AND PART OF ME STILL EXPECTS THAT. I STILL ABIDE BY THAT. I BET MR WALTON AND MR DISNEY WOULD AGREE. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR COMMENT.

glorybee that is because there is more scammers and thiefs in the 21st century and if the creator of the company dies it gets worse same thing happened with disney at least with their movies.

Unfortunately, WALMART, is not like it once was. I worked for them many years ago, and I still remember that Mr. Walton was at the grand opening, and we had a meeting before the store opened, and he said that if a customer brought something back, to either give them their money back, or exchange. Whatever they wanted, no questions asked. now, even with a receipt, they act like you commited a crime for daring to bring it back. I personally don't shop there very often, because I remember how it use to be.

Me and my wife have been shopping 13 year in the same Wal-mart store...We use credit cards.. my wife uses mine when I am not with her... on 4/16/2009 she charged $100.01 on the card.. they looked at her drivers licence and said it wasn't wasn't her card.. Meanwhile, I am NOW charged the $ 100. to my credit card bill, while i wait for a refund... Seriously, these people or kids who work in this store are nitwits, plus the so called manager, who aways seems to be hidding.

The responce from the so called manager was, I am so sorry.. Hey who give a c... I am out 100 dollars for the month..This store is in Surfside beach, SC on 544...

Well, i will not be back in that or any other walmart store...We also have 400 homes in the same neighbor, I will do what I can to warn these people(mostly retired )to stay away..

I too purchased the "new york strip" steak, from the start the meat was slimy and my fingers slipped right through it. But stupidly i cooked it and it made my roommate and I throw up and was sick for about 3 days. Yesterday I returned the remains to the Ukiah Calif Walmart Store and since I didnt have a recpt the cashier at the "Customer Service Counter" who was standing there with a "closed" sign on the counter, told me no they couldnt refund the money. So the CSR Lindsey came up and didnt bother to hear the reason and just smiled and said No sorry cant return without a receipt . I then asked for the Store Manager Drew, who came up and I explained how bad the product was, how sick I got, and in fact they were falsely advertising a meat product which in fact contained no meat and was a soy based product. He read the back and then said to the "Customer Service" cashier to refund the amount.
What was sad was the pleasure the CSR Lindsey took in refusing to help and denying a product to be returned.

We had a similar experience with New York strips at Wal-Mart. we normally don't buy groceries there, but since we were there for something else, i decided to make an exception. the steaks LOOKED great, but when i cooked one last night, it had a weird texture, and like another person described was almost ham-like. it was too weird and my husband wouldn't eat it. so we won't be grocery shopping there again - their produce isn't the greatest anyway, so it's not worth the trip to save a few dollars.

wallmart meat is horrible! i bought a pack of cube steaks and it was not real steak, and it was so full of red dye .

Your husband owns a meat business, and you're buying 14 dollar steaks at WalMart? Your whole story sounds phony. My guess is your a fat, lonely housewife with nothing better to do.

How can you sell package meat's full of carbonation & spoilage?
I may get food stamps but that doesn't mean I've got to get
sick eating it. Just because you advertise you got low prices
that doesn't mean you got to take away from some of your
other prices.

The Walmart in my city is NOT a Super Walmart and they still have a Craft and Fabric Department!

I used to live over 100 miles from nowhere and just made a monthly trip to the city. You can't please everybody, but you can sure tru to please the majority. And just think, if Wal-mart doesn't have that section anymore, it will keep a small business going!

i have to disagree, its all about supply and demand if there aren't enough people needing/wanting the product and that section of the store then they should pull it out, even if there 2000 people shopping in that part of the store that still wouldn't be enough to keep that section

I totally agree with what you are saying. I say this in regards to my mom who also lives in a small town and has to drive at least an hour to get to a sewing store (besides Walmart). Her Walmart is still carrying fabrics and craft supplies at the moment, however certain things are being discontinued like embroidery floss. She was very upset over this, and now I have to find the colors that she is looking for and send them to her. I hope that they will think a little bit more of their actions more, before they completely eliminated this area of business.

THE NEW LAYOUTS FOR WALMART SUCK HARD

Man i remember here in yakima when they were using supertech. You used to be able to buy that at the dollar store.

OMG! I had paid the extra $5 or so to have ALL of my fluids topped up during my oil change because i was going out of town the next day. Of course I wasn't even 10 miles out of town & I was out of antifreeze (and no, I did not have a leak)! ALSO: I was extremely low on windshield wiper fluid. Yes, I could have easily topped up these fluids myself but I had so many things to do before the trip & thought I would save myself the hassle for a few extra bucks.

I agree. Don't go to Wal-Mart for car work.

Wal Mart are true capitalists. Take all you can get and screw anyone or everyone if they complain. No integrity and definitely no quality. They forgot to put oil in my car resulting in blown engine!

Had oil changed and noticed on listed paperwork they had checked my air filter. Knowing last year filter was getting dirty and living near numerous construction site, I asked if it was okay. I was told that they checked it and must be okay. Asked person who actually worked on the car and was told no, they did not check it. I was told it was not convient to get too ? I guess they do not have a screwdrivers at walmart or unable to unscrew several screws? I noticed several other things marked as checked. I am sorry but will not ever go back NOT CONVIENT !

You went to Wal*Mart and got bad service at their garage... are you surprised?! It's Wal*Mart!

You go to wal*mart for cheap, Chinese-made junk not quality auto service. Sears looks down at Wal*mart for cryin' out loud!

I have had a similar experience here in Lubbock Tx.
I'll never use them again.

I would make sure everyone knows about this. Get as high up as you can. That is horrible.

Were they discriminating his age? I have more than 5 walmart stores within 30 minutes of my house and all of them have the return policy on the wall behind the counter. its a very large board so it can be read from the customer side of the counter. Your brother should have told the ignorant employees to read and learn the policy.

You say every time you shop at walmart you get so angry you don't go back. Obviously you do, so don't!

i am strongly agree with this, every time i go to shop at Walmart i never get any help and the people work there they try to walk away when we have questions included with all the cashier they are rude and never know how to smile to customer the reason so many people are going to their store because it is cheaper than other. hopefully Walmart will take this serious and show their employee how to respect customer

In Independence, MO, Wal-mart seems to have implemented some fairly extreme methods of shoplifting prevention. I say this, because I have been detained at the store on two separate occasions until I have shown proof of purchase for each item and the item itself.

On the first occasion, I purchased a $13 dollar game controller. I was asked to show my receipt by an employee as I was leaving the store. I kindly said no thanks, and continued outside. Although no alarm went off when exiting, a security guard followed me out of the store and demanded that he be shown the contents of the bag I was carrying. I refused, at which point he took the bag from my hand and searched through it himself. After removing the contents of the bag he asked where my receipt was. Unfortunately, the electronics employee had stapled the receipt onto the bag. Somewhere the receipt had fallen off. It could have been when the security guard took the bag.

At this point, he was sure that I had stolen the item and escorted me back into the building. I identified the teller that checked me out, and he said that I had purchased the item. I was still unable to leave though. I was informed that they had to look the purchase up in the database before I was allowed to leave. Thirty minutes later, I was allowed to leave the store with my game controller after they printed off another receipt which they then made me show the person at the front.

On the second occasion, Wal-mart was the only store open at 1 am, so against my better judgment I stopped there to pick up an electronics device that I needed. To my amazement, a similar thing occurred. As I was leaving the store, I was again stopped by a security guard. This one had actually seen me make the purchase for the item I was carrying. He had seen the lady put the product in the bag. He told me that he needed to see what was in my bag. I refused to show him what was in the bag, but I produced a receipt of my purchase. He said it wasn't good enough, and that they needed to check the contents of the bag. Again I refused, and sure enough it was taken from my hand. He then handed it to another person which took the item somewhere else, brought it back, and then said it was "ok". I was then able to leave.

I figured the first time was just unluckiness and some ill-informed employees. After happening two times in a row, I am convinced that this is store policy. The security guards dress in attire similar to police officers and carry a very intimidating tone. They are brutes. I called the store manager, and he just ignored me. I'm waiting until tomorrow to get in contact with someone higher up.

I have a Wal Mart credit card. Why is it that when I go into the local Wal Mart to make a payment I’m told the date on the check MUST be that day’s date? When I receive your statement I write out a check using that day’s date, this keeps my records in order. Now I might not go to Wal Mart for several days, I do at least 90% of my shopping at Wal Mart, so when I present the check for payment why will it not be accepted until I change the date? I can understand not accepting a post dated check, that is with a future date, but what is wrong with my payment...

you are absolutely right .Wal mart is become No Smart

The big deal is they can't force somoene to show the receipt unless they have absolute proof that something was stolen.

I was recently invited to a baby shower for twins. June 12th, I purchased two winnie the pooh pack and plays at your Gloversville, New York Store. When the boxes were opened, June 14th one box had shoes, clothes, a salt and pepper shaker, and other random items. This was extremely embarasing. I had to return the box of random items for a refund. We live and hour from the store. They are temporarily out of stock so I have to drive an hour again to purchase another one. This has not only been extremely embarasing, but with the gas prices very expensive.

I was in your Boone Wal-Mart store on Sunday, May 18th, and overheard a conversation between two gentlemen in your photo center. One gentleman was taunting the other about a hickie on his neck. The young man was gay from the conversation that was taking place and the other man was being very vulgar and making derogatory remarks about his being gay. It was so bad I almost said something to the gentleman but then I thought I should talk to a manager about the situation. I asked for the store manager but he was not in. I was told that I could speak to the manager of the department and when I asked to have him paged they directed me to the gentleman in the photolab! Alan, the manager was the one who was making gay bashing comments to his underling Spencer. I could not comment to him but thought that someone should know about this. I may even go to a gay and lesbian website with this complaint because a manager should not bash an employee because of their sexual preference.

You should have showed your receipt to begin with ...what was the big deal? That just showed a suspicious cause to detain you right there...DONT BE A SMART ### NEXT TIME...SHOW THE DAMN RECEIPT AND MOVE ON!...you are the kind of people that makes it hard on others when we shop ...GET OVER IT AND GROW UP!
