Walmart
Reviews and Complaints

My husband works at the Walmart Distribution Center in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin..My husband was written up for not being able to make it to work 12/21/12 do to the blizzard we had between 12/19-12/21/12. We made every attempt to get to work that morning, leaving at 330AM, he has to be to work at 6AM and we live 10 miles away. We got stuck in the middle of the highway, not even a mile from our house..Roads where not plowed yet and cars where stuck in the middle of the road making it impassable. The Governor declared a state of emergency and told people to stay off the roads.Later we where told our roads surrounding our village where completely closed.Anyway, my husbands Manager told him 12/28 that he was being written up for not making it in, they then asked him to write a plan of correction for what he could have done, he wrote"I have no plan for this, there was truly nothing I could have done" at this time they told him he could be terminated for this comment.Really! Now my husband was written up a few months ago for staying home with me when I was very sick and almost died 3 times from an unknown virus.He brought this to their attention asking why they would do this..his Managers comment was " It's not our problem you have personal issues and it's not our problem you live so far away"..I work for the government and I have to say they have a heart, I was excused for being unable to make it to work that Friday and was able to make up my hours.I work in a 24 hour health care facility, he works in what is basically a factory.They terminated a lady for not being able to make it in on 12/21..To me this is harassment and a hostile work environment, plain and simple! Walmart works the staff in the Distribution Centers to death, they get injured they get written up, but if they don't report an injury they get fired..There is something seriously wrong with this picture.I have watched my husband be harrassed for the 5 years he has been there, treated unfairly and harrassed. The Walmart DC in Beaver Dam, Wi is a hostile work environment. We are jumping through hoops right now so I can have an organ transplant, does this mean that when I get a donor he will be fired because he is with me for this transplant so I can live longer.or will he be fired next week because we couldn't make it to work do to a blizzard.If he is fired, we will be seeking an attorney!

i went in tonight to make a return to your store and i was treated very poorly, i was almost refused to return my $14.00 item with out a receipt, im very aware walmart dose make returns with out receipt there fore unless it is a expensive item i rarely keep the receipt, i must spend at least $200-300 a week in this store and the item that i returned tonight i purchased a few days before from the assistant manager him self in till # 18, the other females their stated to the manager on duty tonight that i always make returns with out receipt, it should not matter if your store takes things back with out a receipt then it not my fault, its seems as though this store and the employees just plain don't like me personally the way they acted is as though i had stole the item i told her check the camera and i'l wait i said check it for tonight and 2 days before i bought it at till no.18 i guess she realized i wasn't guilty and and then said no she will return it this time but if i ever try to return anything in the future she will refuse well i'm ready to take action against this store for the way i was Treated customers should have every bit of respect for their customers and the people working their have only showed a lack of it today 12/14/12 just before 21:04:17 i also have had previous incidents where a bottle of nail polish broke in my hand while holding it and another when i had bought some food and when i came home the gallon of milk that was bagged had ripped and fell and exploded all over the interior of my car and when i called in to complain i was told that it was my fault that i did not ask the cashier to double bag the milk, i've been their and cashiers have throw the items in to the bag with unnecessary force therefore destroying the boxes and bread shaking up the 2 liter bottles since the store has open i have been shopping their and have had many incidents i find people their are very rude and have no knowledge
i have also been in the store and it is cluttered with boxes blocking every isle making it very big fire hazard and impossible to get around the store i have pictures to prove this from a trip i made over the summer i was just so stunned and amazed i had to get pictures i will be looking into getting a lawyer i am very very fed up with this store ...

why do i think it is something against me personally
i go to this store 2-3 times a week in most cases i spend between $100- $150 Each Time
I am a white 30 year old female mother of 2 well kept, always dressed up always have nice designer bags nails always done ( in line was getting complemented on my nails just prior to the incident and the females noticed ) my cloths are always put together i prefer to pay with cash so always have lots of money in my wallet and have seen the cashiers look at the amount of money i have when i pay and my husband as well, the people that work their know me and my husband and i am very friendly with everyone at the store my husband always parks up front so a lot of the employees have seen i have a luxury suv
these 3 females just plain do not like me because i am not in their shoes i do not apologize for my fortunet life and should not be treated like dirt because they hate theirs or me ...

i have photos from my visit in the summer you can see in the photos the isles are blocked in every picture i needed to get paper towels and the isle was blocked so i could not get any that is photo 7

Last month someone hacked my walmart account and purchased a PC. I noticed via email that congrats me on my order. I logged into my account and saw a recent purchase for pick up in San Jacinta CA, when I live in Maryland. I got my bank on the phone and cancelled the order. No one has my account information nor do I use anyone else's PC so it has to be an inside job. Walmart seemed to not care and responded with they could not respond without a police report. I obtained a police report and their response was blah blah very formal (we take our security as priority) and only advised me to change my password.

I removed my stored card information and changed my password. I will not be shopping online at walmart any more and as for going in their store, no thanks.

I'm just pissed because of the inability of the fresh out of high school kid to admit she was wrong. She claI'med I don't look like my VALID id I'm guessing because i now have a beard. I pointed out several facial features and upon discussing it with another employee who was like, yeah its hI'm, and me taking off my hat to show my prominent widows peak. She had an attitude of all white people look alike to her and just couldn't admit her own stupidity. I'm baffled at who would think that someone grocery shopping with there 4 year old daughter on a Tuesday afternoon would risk producing a fake id for a 12pk of moose-head. Now i have to make another trip when my wife gets off work because i cant take my daughter into a liquor store. so thanks for costing me another 10 bucks in gas ###s.

I am and Have been a faithful customer of Walmart for many years, along with my husband and my now grown children we like many other families spend a small fortune at your store.And most always have a good experience there and also enjoy seeing everyone. But I went to the store as we call it on the hill ( Bonita # 0981) Sunday morning to by diapers for my granddaughter and while I was there decided to buy 2 more boxes for my boss lady that just had triplets I bought the parent choice diapers that are only sold by walmart! When I got to work Monday I asked her if they could wear them and she said they couldn't due to breaking out with them they have very sensitive skin. So I decided OK I'll just return them and get pampers, while I was in town we decided to go to Sam's for a minute and I bought some pampers there because I could get a larger box. Anyway I then went walmart to get my money back but since I had left the receipt at home I was just going gwt it put on my gift card for the gas pump instead same difference I thought, Until I was very RUDELY told I could only swap diapers for diapers needless to say that I did not understand this since they are they only one that sells this brand and they had not been opened. The young lady said that since I had just bought them the day before her supervisor would have to OK this and could pull the receipt.But that lady was standing there arguing with a customer about the return of some fish, she was very ugly to this lady about her fish and the problem she was having. She then came over to me and didn't really even give me a chance just said I would have to replace them with more diapers or take an INSTORE gift card that I didn't want I already had a walmart gift card I would rather be able to by gas with this or use it later if I wanted to in-store but I was going to the gas pumps that night to get gas so that's What I wanted besides I already had a gift card I didn't want another they are to hard to keep up with.She refused to listen to me I did not mind spending MY MONEY with walmart but I do expect to be treated with respect! I can't help she was having a bad day I never get ugly when I go into places and have a problem I always try to find a solution. I have worked with the public for over 30 my years and I know it can be hard sometimes and trying, But you do not treat people the way she was treating her customers and get away with it .If you do there's a problem somewhere.So I decided to write you this and hope someone will do something about this I had decided I would not go back to that store again when I left there because I deserve to be better.I will give it one more shot before I make that call but if I go back there and I am treated like that again I, nor any of my family will go back to that walmart there are many stores in our town that sell everything walmart does and they treat you with respect. I would like to hear back from you and know what will be done about this matter.Most of the employees there are very nice and considerate. Thank you for giving this your time I am sure it is important to you as well .

Started work at walmart as overnight maintenance, in august 2011, until may 2012 to make a long story short I was harrassed for 9 months by and assistant manager named jermaine as well as tina and tahir but mostly jermaine. I never spoke up about it to upper management, because I felt that I came to work and try to do everything they ask me to do and fast and work hard they would eventually stop bothering me or harrassing me. However that did not stop them from doing that I always came to work broke a sweat did whatever they asked me to do and worked hard and complete my tasks and never bothered anyone would be working and moving the whole time I worked there. But yet they were truculent towards especially jermaine, even some of the employees use to ask me why did the managers always pick on me, and one believed jermaine had something personal against me. There was one employee who I happened to be friends with who I noticed everytime I was around him or spoke with him the managers would get even meaner or after I came from lunch. Im wondering if they since all the managers are gay or bisexual if they somehow new about my sexuality and if thats why they bothered me, and possibly liked me? If so being mean isnt the way to go about it and eventually I got fired for telling the manager Jermaine off am I really a bad guy for that? After being harrassed 9 months how much could a person put with or take, Im just posting this because I want everbody to know the kind of jerks youll deal with working in this store.

I purchased a battery from Walmart in 12/11, it says 2 yr replacement warrany on it. On Friday, the battey was dead, we charged it over the weekend and still it will not hold a charge. My son, works at Walmart, so I ran him into work. Thinking I could exchange the battery while in town. On the way to Walmart we have a flat tire. I change the tire and make it to Walmart. I headed to the Tire repair, to fix a tire and get a battery. I select a battery and wait for 45 minutes to be told they cant fix the tire, so I proceed to exchange the battery. I couldnt do that because they have to test it first. Which takes about an hour or so. They cant test it tonight because they have three batteries in front of me to be tested for tomarrow pick up. I explained that we all ready tried charging it and that it was for an employees truck. The assistant manager said I dont care who it is for, you will have to do it tomarrow. Thats our policy. I said for one where is the policy at and two thats messed up if you dont care about your employees and customers. He walked away. End results no battery purchased. So what does a person to do when It is stated on the battery its self free 2 year replacement warranty if the company that sells it doesnt abbid by it//

I went shopping at wal-mart in ft. Wright ky. Last night and found that I did have a sasvings of about 25 dollars with the same exact items that I usually buy at my store kroger. Now I don't like changing the stores I usually shop at but I thought I would go see if there was a savings and like I said I did save. But it seems like each time I go into a wal-mart for misc. Items they only have 4or5 lines open no matter what time of day it is and super slow cashiers and it also seems that they always put old slow women as the cashier in the speedy line so it isn't so speedy. I also wonder why if they have so many lanes why is so many of them always closed? I would think that they would want all their lines open so the customer wouldnt get pissed off and just leave like I have witnessed before as those people just abondon their items and say screw this lets go to target. Well any way I dont think I want to go back and do any more grocery shopping there. I think that I would rather not save that 25 dollars and get throuh the line quicker. The krogers I usually go to has a great set up and I am never in line waiting endlessly like at the wal-mart. Well that is my gripe and that is all I want to say about that.

Walmart TLE is scamming every customer as we speak. You pay for a Fram filter they place a COR filter on your car...Yes made by fram but to the Walmart Supertech standard. This is serious violation of trust. The Walmart TLE website explains in detail the importance of choosing a quality filter...then they place the worst cardboard filter made "Supertech" on your car. If you had your oil changed at Walmart go outside look under the hood if you notice a totally black filter they got you! Now search the Part # it will be COR#####TLE you will not find any information. They keep it top secret. Walmart pays less than $.50 for theses and in truth it would be better to have no filter than to use cardboard. I have no ideal why this isn't in the news?

Again your told your getting a Fram filter (fiberglass) they install a COR generic Walmart (supertech type) filter.

Fram is Orange with a Black grip. These are all black.

i bought my child a pair of boots from walmart the are faded glory and she has only had them 1 month and only wear them about 5 times and now they ar broke on the bottom of both boots ...please get bk to me at [protected]@aol.com

I have been working at the above mentioned Walmart for 1 year and during that time I have been harassed, belittled, treated like a child and been blamed for other peoples mistakes. I suffered from I brown recluse spider bite that turned into a staph infection and was told not to be at work do to the staph. I told my employer that and they treated me like I was a pansy and said either I take a leave of absence or they will hold the days missed against me. I took the LOA but the days I had missed before hand were counted against me and I got a coaching (Sit you down like a 2 year old and belittle you) for missing those days. Months later I was working on the sales floor when the assistant manager came up to me and yelled at me on the floor because she said I gave another associate the wrong stuff that needed to be stocked. Which I didn't, she never looked to see what was on there. I customer saw the whole thing and started to tell here off. Saying that wasn't called for, and she had no right treating anyone like that especially an employee. All the managers gripe at us, belittle us, point and laugh at us, so know we do not work as hard as we used to. There is no point. We decided, screw them. I don't understand how our managers can get away with treating us this way, They quote Walmart policy, but change it to suit there needs. I don't know what to do. I can not just quit, but they are pushing me near the edge. Thanks for listening.

There was a missing child in the store when I was done my shopping. They had one of those code Adam pages. The doors were locked and they said that during a Code Adam no one is allowed to enter or leave the store until the child is found so I had to wait two minutes until the little six and a half year old boy was found. I find this policy silly. I mean I did not have the child with me. Also they what if the child was with one parent and not the other. Say daddy lost the four year old as he did in this case and he called his wife. Should his wife not be allowed in the store? Also the people who have not entered the store yet don't know a child is missing? If they wanted to take the child how would they not knowing the child is missing? What if the child left the store. Also isn't it dangerous to announce that a child is missing. That just opens the opportunity for any perv who wants to snatch the child.

I purchased a Walmart Money Card on November 20th before I went out of town for Thanksgiving. I paid the 3.00 dollars for the card and uploaded 85.00 dollars at the register. When I got to my families house and tried to upload the temporary card, there was no card at all inside the package. I called the Hinesville Walmart where I had purchased it and a manager told me to bring it in along with my receipt when I returned for the holidays. I also emailed Walmart Money Card and tried to contact them over the phone. When I got in touch with someone they where trying to put that card, not knowing who has it or where it is, in my name. I tried to explain to them I never received a temporary card but they just couldn't understand that. When I returned from my visit I went up to the Hinesville Walmart like I was told. I spoke with a sales associate first and she was great on trying to help me. Her manager Ms. Peggy had her call the money card number and see what she could do. They told her to give me the refund in store, even though the receipt says you cannot. They gave her a reference/claim number, and stated they would send the amount to the Hinesville Walmart. Ms. Peggy was no longer working and the sales associate, Ternerica, needed help on how to proceed with the refund since it was not allowed. A department manager, Sandra, was called on to help and she just said we cannot refund for those and kept doing what she was previously doing. Ternerica called on Tammy who is one of the head managers I guess you could say. She had to be called on three different times to get her to come assist. When she arrived she didn't even introduce herself or ask me what the problem was, she immediately had an attitude. She then went to basically calling me a liar saying that there was no way I didn't receive the temporary card because they open it out of the package and swipe it at the register to activate it. Being a manager I thought you had to be educated in all departments. When you buy a temporary card the cashier does not open the package. The receipt has a activation number for the money as well so you, the customer, can upload the amount onto the card. So with her saying that I stated that the employee who I checked out with was working and she must have my card if that is the case which it was not. I asked her if she could roll back the tapes then if the cashier is suppose to activate the card then we would see her with it on camera. She then says that :Loss Prevention is not currently working. Remind you I went to the store on Friday November 23rd, So not only are you calling me a liar you are saying that loss prevention is not working on Black Friday. I gathered my belongings and left. This Walmart is very unprofessional and the managers need to work on their customer service. The goal for Walmart is to have satisfied Customers, this store #0862 in Hinesville, Ga doesn't abide by that. The managers should be professional and respectful at all times. This situation should have never provoked an altercation with different managers or rude managers. The customer should not be accused of theft after waiting a hour just to speak to a manager. Why are managers raising their voice and making a scene in view of other customers which diminishes the faith in Walmart Customer service?

This scamming I am reporting now occured today March 22nd at 8 pm.
I am a canadian living in Ottawa. While surfing the internet, a walmart webpage popped-up. In that page, I was invited to fill a survey with the chance of participating in a 1000.00 shopping lottery at walmart. As a regular customer at walmart, I agrred to participate in the survey. The survey lead from one question to another until it seemed that something was misleading in the survey page. I found that the survey page has automatically changed from walmart to MOBSHACK. I was asked to fill in my address and my phone number which I did. Then another page appeared and asked me to click "YES" if I want to subscribe to celebrity news and that I will be charged $10.00 on my cell phone bill. I immediately realized this was a scam and I closed the page right away without clicking on the "YES" button. To my astonishment, I received a text message on my cell phone informing me that I will be chatged $10.00 on my phone bill: but I never subscribed.

I believe this is a widescale SCAM operating by Walmart and MOBSHACK to extort 10.00 from each walmart customers.
I would request you to seriously look into this issue, as I can see many other people have lodged their complaints online about same issue...before more walmart customers get ripped-off of their 10.00 dollars.

I write this with deep regret that a reputed super store walmart does not care for consumer products particularly food items which have specific shelf life, and bear an expiry date. I bought G V KTLLE ORG Potato Chips, on15 11 2012, at 17.56, having a bar code of [protected], after tendering the desired amount of money, we opened the packet, surprisingly the taste was so bad and was slightly smelling, immediately we started to look for the date of manufacture, OH ALAS to our great surprise, believe it or not we found " BEST BEFORE 13 FE 07, !" I do not know how many of them have been sold from their Chain, " Wake Up WalMart before you lose your Credibality.

Temporary 1 mo holidays few years ago. Liked me and wanted me to reapply in 60 days. When I applied several months later, I was told I was nice but they would not rehire me. Shocked and hurt ... they lied to me! I am one of many who want to work and I liked what I was doing and did it well. Walmart fails its employees by claiming they care but do not and fail to let you know areas you need to improve and do not help by providing tools to improve the skills needed. Not a very good employer to work for ... They just throw employee's away like garbage ... they do not practice what they preach.

I work at Walmart and they will not let me take off work without firing me. I have been diagnoised with cairi Malformation and I have sever headaches. They are seriously making me jump through hoops in order to keep my job. My dr has filled out a ton of paperwork and they still are not approving it. For black friday they schedule me till 2:15 AM when my availablility ends at 10PM I asked why and was told that everyone has to work whatever hours they want because their availability does not apply on black friday. People have availability for a reason! Then when there is a holiday they cut a day off your schedule so you dont really get any more money for working on a holiday you actually get less then you would make on a regular work week. Wow this place is sooooo bad I could go on and on, my husband and I stopped shopping there we used to spend anywhere from 8 to 1000 per month. I suggest you all do the same!

How come Walmart can help all types of charieties, but walmart cannot help their employees who are homeless. [protected]@yahoo.com
