Walmart
Reviews and Complaints

It's 3 days untill Christmas. Wal-Mart has about 30 registers, but only 5 of them are open. The lines are unbelievble! This is rediculous! There is no excuse for this at all. Not enough help only means that the managers are going to get a bigger bonus for having less payroll hours. This is very unfortunate for their customers yet they wont change it or even care. Why? Because Wal-mart has gotten big enough to put all their competetors out of business.

This is not a complaint I dont no another way to contact you. My name tangeria mckinney im 16years old and I was wondering can you help me. I have a mother that is very hard working with 6 kids she have a 2yr old, 10yr old, 12yr old, 13yr old15yr old and me and christmas is coming up and she really need help I will be very dissppointed to see my sisters and brothers unhappy on chrismas morning. Im writing you to ask can you help a little my 2yr old sister dont know much about chrismas but she did say she wanted a babydoll. You will be a big help if you help out and you will make my sisters and brothers happy and they will be very greatful for whatever you offer. Thank you!

Advertise that they can cash checks, payroll, refunds, grant, ect . I went there and it was all false, first of all they ran my cerdit without my knowing, I found out after they refuse to cash if, they took my social security # ran it without explaining why. That was a big discrimnation act.

I had some holiday photos taken of my family and purchased the copyrirght released cd from the company nationalstudiosinc. I took the cd into walmart developed some photos to give out at chritsmas time, (From the cd the clearly states copyrightrelease). When it came time to pay for these photos, he uneducated person behind the counter would not let me have them. She said she need a signed copy paper if I was going to copy photos... I asked for a manager. When the ast. Manager got there I got the same bull story from her. I could not mke these people understnd I printed the photos from the released disk, they insisted I was doing somthing illeagal. I left the store called the comany I got the disk from and the have never had the issue before, you tell who the idiot is... I even tried to get them to phot copy the disk. It is no wonder we cannot get decent service anymore!

Don't even bother with this crap! I got a Wal-Mart money card today so I could buy my kids something online for Christmas. I didn't realize I had typed my address in it incorrect and long story short it denied my activation and is now sending a refund check to the WRONG address. I call up customer service and after a half hour non human communication it sends me to a real person who within 1 minute after explaining my situation to her says there is nothing they could do, since I was prompted to check my address before I submitted the form. I am a single mom who recently lost her job and I am on a VERY tight income, I have three children. I am almost in tears over this because I basically lost 65 dollars! I am so mad! Don't even give them your business!

I purchased a Moneygram money order from WalMart. I made it payable to Riverside County Animal Shelter for my dogs license, however I received it back from them stating our city animal licenses were taken care of through another animal shelter.

I took the money order and the receipt back to the Walmart where I had purchased it. The "assistant manager" told me they wouldn't give me my money back even though I told her that I had already called Moneygram and was instructed to write on the back of the check "not used for purpose intended" then endorse it with my name.
She obviously was an idiot. I was very angry which prompted her to be nasty, telling me that if she wanted she could just tell me to go to another store, etc. etc. Telling her again obvious just pissed her off. My husband stepped in and told her she could talk to him. After calling in another "assistant manager" who knew less than the first one, this assistant manager told my husband "why don't you take the money order to the animal shelter and see if they will cash it for you".
Then told him "well we haven't taken the Moneygram class yet, we will know more after we take it". So in other words no one at any of the Walmarts I went to for this situation knows or cares about how to take care of this.

My Mother is 95 and weighs even less. She is confined to wheel chair and on oxygeon She was harrassed, searched and humilated in full view of shoppers by greeter . We went in store, alarm sounded, we stopped. The greeter did NOT come over, we shopped and paid for items. As we left alarm sounded again. We stopped then proceeded out, Greeter came flying out the door, yelling" You are suppose to stop not keep going." we went back in, she was already in middle of store, she screamed at us to " get over here" We quickly showed her our purchases along with reciepts but that was not good enough. Meanwhile several cashiers gathered around us, shoppers were galking. She searched around Mother in wheel chair, in her oxgeon tank, then took her purse away from Mom. She ran it through scanner and said something made a sound. Greeter admitted she heard alarm when we came in but she did nothing at that time. They never explained why the alarm went off. I called the manager the next day. He was loud, belligerent and told me to never come in the store again, then he hung up on me.
My Mother is terrified to go into store again after this horrible treatment. Its a shame as getting out and going to Walmart is one of the few things she USED to look forward to.

I purchased a 50.00 Gift Card from Walmart back in August as a gift for my mother-in-law only to find out when she went to use it 2 weeks later that it only had 1.67 on it. We researched the purchases to discover that they had been made back in JUNE! So I was told by 15 seperate people that I would be receiving the money, after two times of FIGHTING with a rep that there was NO WAY I am filing a dispute claim since there was NO WAY we made the purchases. One customer service rep told me that for the hassle I would be credited 10.00, later to be told that the only way I can receive that 10 dollars is by purchasing ANOTHER walmart card. Once I received the refund check of 53.95 on October 18th. (Remember I purchased the card August 1st.) Then I called Walmart C. Service to verify that I would receive the 10+activiation, which I was guaranteed.. So I called the day before Thanksgiving 11-24-09 and was told I would get a phone call back from a supervisor that same day, and imagine that... Today, 12-9-09 I still had not received a phone call from a supervisor. So I called in and FAUGHT for my money. Except I was told I will not be allowed to get the activiation fee back. So Finally on 12-9-09 I was told that I would get my 10 dollars minus the activation fee back. I am extremely heated about Walmart and honestly try to tell everyone DO NOT PURCHASE THEIR GIFTCARDS or MONEYCARDS. Walmart is AWFUL at customer service.

So tired of Walmart always being out of stock on things. We were searching for a camcorder and found the one we wanted. We went up to the checkout to get someone to help us and was told to go back to the camera area and someone would be there soon. 15 min later we managed to flag someone from that department down who told us she didnt even work in that department (mind you i saw her in that department working..hmm) I got mad and started getting loud. All we wanted to know is if they had this particular camera in stock or did any come in? She looked dumbfounded till a co-manager of some sort just happened by and told her she could scan the item tag to see if they had any in stock. Low and behold they did but it was in a bin in the back and they didn't have a key to get into it. Isn't he the manager. I was like fine don't go work and get it out but can you tell me if any other stores have it in stock. My boyfriend wanted it tonight and really liked that one. She wrote everything down and went and checked. The Clay store had one. I told her to tell the girl to hold it we would be over. Even thanked her when none of them in that department were organized or even cared about the peoply buying hundreds of dollars of electronic equipment...

We drove to Clay and went to the back of the store where the Clerk Mindy pulled out the wrong damn camera. I told her no that wasn't the right one. She said she had confirmed it with the other girl who clearly was a damn ### to me now. I have to say the Clerk Mindy was very helpful and we actually bought a cheaper camera her store offered when she tried to help us telling us that she had tons of complaints from that store because they always seemed to be having problems.

What a bunch of crap...sending us on a wild goose chase after we had to practically drag someone to help us BUY something from the store.

usually when i see those winning things popup, i always ignore it. when i saw the walmart $1000 gift card, i was like lets give it a shot. after i registered and took two surveys, that was it. both of th esurveys said that i was confirmed, and my stuff should arrive soon. in a email, they said the same thing. its been three weeks now, and i still havent got my card or my gifts.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am a concern person that’s works for Wal-Mart. We work very hard every single day at very low pay and wait for our bonuses every quarter. I only received $7 bucks in my check only as a bonus. I come to find out I hear the store manager has been taking our bonuses and giving them to the schools here. Meanwhile, making sure he got his bonus, many persons and I did not give permission to do this. We also know he is the president of the PTA in which he gets paid for. In my mind that is embellishment of company funds that belong to the employees. I am seriously thinking of getting a lawyer for not only me but for all the employees of your Wal-Mart Store in Pahrump, Nevada. So to let you know I am sending this letter to all News Networks and News Papers. To show them how selfish someone can be to steal but do it right under your noses.

Now looking for a Lawyer!

My daughter went to Walmart, which boasts on their tv ad that they will match "any" ad of "any" store so you have one stop shopping, to purchase the WII fit, on sale at Meijer for 44. 99, this was on Thanksgiving day. She was promptly told that Walmart did not have ANY WII fits in stock and neither did ANY of the Walmart stores. How very convenient that none of the shelves were stocked with these items which beforehand were full of these items. Poo poo to Walmart's HELPING us out with our Christmas shopping - only when it is convenient for them.

Our family is seriously considering not shopping at Walmart any longer.

I was at the wal mart on Black Friday to try and purchase a laptop.I arrived at 330 knowing that the sale didn't start until 500a, I went to the area with the map and was told that the vouchers for the laptops were all gone. Since when did Walmart have this type of sale going on. I have been to Walmart on Black Friday several times, and this has never happened, when did they change there rules for Black Friday sales. I have shopped at walmart several times, this had made me very mad and dont know if I will continue to shop there. I know I am only 1 person but I am very upset with your new policy.. Pat Hanna

The buyer tried to activate the card and all went well until she tried to use the debit/credit (Visa). While trying to put some money on the phone, it was rejected?
Then she proceeded to call customer service and the woman on the phone was terribly rude. The purchaser then demanded a supervisor and was shut down. The customer service representative himhawed around and said the mistake was a street address entry. The purchaser supposidly told her the street numbers and not the house address. Then the Rep. explained that the money will be refunded back on the card on Dec. 5th. Mind you, it was purchased on 11/24/09!
Well, forcing the issue, the purchaser demanded once again to see a superviser. This time she was shut down again but with a promise that her money would be refunded within 2 business days. Readers, these type of cards are a sham! Take my advice, steer clear of the too good to be true prepaid and reloadable debit/credit card(s). Consumers Beware!

I had several checks stolen. Wal-mart took them without ID. If they had ask for ID they would have known the checks were stolen. Now I have pressed charges, Opened a new account, and closed the old one.

This Valley Steam store is the worst. The wait time to check out is at least 20 minutes. Today, I went to the service counter to uplift three small items which were ordered on-line. The associate was unbelievable rude. She was unpleasant and unprofessional. She was obviously annoyed that I opted to examine the items. She refused to bag the items because I had placed them into my cart and bluntly said “I would have bagged them, but you put them in the cart. Now you will put them in a bag."

Can you imagine these words from someone in a customer service position? Don't these people realize that customers are the reason they are employed and earning a salary? Instead, this associate saw me as an inconvenience.
