WALMART SUCKS

[Massmann71]

I was not sure where to post this topic, but anywhere I guess is good. We bought our daughter a camera for her birthday back in March. It was one of the Polaroid i639M-Breast Cancer Awareness Digital Camera, the pink ones, where part of the purchase price goes to breast cancer. Well the other day it stopped working the zoom would not move (go in or out), so my wife called the closest Walmart which is 26 miles away, (yeah I live in the sticks), they tell her to bring the camera in and they would do an even exchange. She drives there and when she get there the guy at the return desk is being an ass, telling her she needs to have a receipt. She explained to him that she could not find it and had the box and everyother item that came with the camera ,Skin,TV cable, Wrist strap and ArcSoft® software on CD-ROM , book, etc. The guy ask her where is the USB Cable. My wife tells him that she probably forgot it at the house. He tells her with out that cable he can not do the exchange. At this time my wife tells me she is getting upset at this guy and tells him then take the USB Cable out of the new one. He says that can't be done. SO my wife ask to speak with the manager. The guy calls the manager on the phone and talks to him and then he tells my wife that the manager said he can not do the exchange without the cord. My wife tells the return guy that she would like to speak to the manager in person. The guys calls the manager again and tells the manager this and the manager refusses to come out and speak to my wife. So the exchange never got done and the manager has still not called as my wife left her number with the store to have the manager call her to speak with her about this. Cowerdly is what comes to mind, how can you be a manager at a store and refuse to come out of you office and speak to a customer. Billion Dollar company and they are making a big deal over a $200 camera.

well i was just there yestruday b/c these 'geniuses' messed up my moneygram. as i was there waiting for all of this, i texted my girl and said "what are the qualifications to work at wal mart?" and she jokingly said back "fat"...and i jokingly said back "just be able to breath"...seriously...they hire ANYONE...and most are dumber than a box of rocks. i dont mean to offend any of you if you work there or have family that works there but we have all been there and you guys have ALL have had experiences where you are like "how the fuck is this person even employed at all?"

That manager sucks...

A manager should NEVER refuse to come out to speak to a customer. The buck stops with management, and it looks like this manager chooses to hide behind his employees, cowering in his office.

Honestly, being a manager of a large retail store has to be one of the easiest jobs one can get.
Any work that needs to be done: just delegate it to someone else.

I've got my own personal reasons for hating Walmart, and this is just one more reason I can add to my list.

Hey Bro if you go to there web site and find the district manager or a # to voice your problem w/names and time you will get all the help you need, due to the fact I had a problem w/PEPSI about there 20 oz. bottles being flat from the gas station down the street and they sent me 5- 24 pack coupons 2-2liter coupons and a hat, so from now on if i have a problem I go to the top!!!!!! No comp wants bad exposier (sp) they will fall over back wards to make you happy cuz word of mouth is better than any tv ad out there but that is my 2 cents Hope every thing works out for ya engbulldog

Walmart is usually very good about letting you make returns.

HAHAHA!!! I know what you mean. I go there at 2:00 in the morning after i work out and there are some damn weirdos in there.

You should call the Walmart corporate office and tell them that the manager of the store refused to come out and talk to you. They will put him through the wringer for that one.

Let's see: the employees make minimum wage and some get applications for welfare benefits as well. That type of wage will never bring in the educated types to work. It's low rent retail at it's finest.

My question is WHY would anyone want to support a corporation like Walmart anyway? They destroy local economies.

Call Bentonville shit will get worked out, and yes they will put the manager through the wringer.

ya wal mart can be pretty wack at times....

Its very unprofessional that the manager would not come out, but I wouldn't have let the return go through either. No receipt and a missing item. You can'y use the camera at all to download anything without the USB cord. Walmart is the best place for returns IMO, yes they have there share of uneducated persons working there, but they have to work somewhere. About 75% of the US Population is uneducated or have not finished a 4 year Degree if you consider not going to college the same.

Target is another story. You can't even return unopened electronics with a reciept after 30 days.

I have worked at a Wal-mart dist. center over 20 yrs. I am also one miserable SOB! The company went to Hell in a hurry when old man Walton died. I honestly believe Management 101 is to give up one`s integrity and honesty. I don`t know of any Wal-mart manager I would piss on if they were on fire, unless I had just drank a quart of gasoline! Wal-mart has lost it`s soul, only thinks of the almighty dollar. I can honestly say, I will see each and every manager I have worked with in Hell.

Some Wal-mart lovers will say I am a disgruntled associate, you are GOD DAMN RIGHT! They made me this way, still I get perfect evals on job performance, doesn`t mean a fucking thing. They cater more to kiss asses and fucking deadbeats. I am not the only associate that feels this way, at least 90% do.

I have ranted enough, in closing FUCK WAL-MART!!!

do it like this

now go back again with cords etc tell them to exchange if they dont do it call 911 or do it my way make complain to head office
talk real sexy on phone with heavy tone ( they've girls picking up phone ) first chat with them, tell them your problem etc ask names, laugh all in sexy tone.
then tell them to get your call to someone responsible and they'll do it.
It works for me
Lower employs never let you talk to higher ones but if you talk heavy and calm they just do it.

I had same sort of problem with bank guys here, a guy sent payment to me and i didnt receive it after a week :| i was damn pissed, talked to manager etc nothing solved then i called chief on the region and lower employs wont let me talk to him i said f*ck y*u i dont talk to lower people like you i am army bla bla guy and he transferred the call imidiately.

Next time take your hubby with you, that'll have an effect on them
