Walmart

You know it is very true. Walmart also has this new thing called a "scorecard" which means that if you work in a certain area of the store let's say apparel and you are cross-trained in being a cashier, you can not go up to the register to help out all because of this new scorecard business. However, the problem with that is one day the rules stick and then the next day they don't.

You english is very bad for a 16 YO. You sound like a scammer from another country. If you wish your hoax to work, try studying english and get the grammer right.

Sorry, no dice, not buying it !

Most of the Photo Depts have paperwork that you can fill out or have the photographer fill out. I used to be a photomanager at Walgreens and most of the time even though the CD said there was a release, they may require written authorization on the photographers letterhead. The fine for the store is about $200, 000 if for some reason the photographer ever came back and said, " I didnt print that on the CD", and then decided to sue. I would suggest if you can get the photographer to fax you a release, you can give that to Walmart.

Trevor please cease with your hatred of blacks, get a life and check the welfare rolls, you will find more of your people on it than blacks.

Getting into the important matter, why is it when customer's make mistakes that they are CLEARLY at fault for, it's such as issue to accept PERSONAL responsibility, then move on with the consequences. You typed in the wrong address, thus making things hard for yourself. No one did this but you and now, just like most entitled feeling jerks, you blame the company for their rule on how to handle this. I can't stand customers like you.

They can't do anything, call your credit card company and explain what happened. You really should have checked what you posted before hitting submit.

My husbands debit card numbers were stolen recently and used at walmart.com. We caught the transaction quickly and called before the items were shipped out. We were told we would receive a refund. A week later my husband called to get the status of the transaction only to find the items were shipped and we will not be given a refund. We were not entitled to know the items we purchased or the location of the shipment.We were victimized by having our checking account hacked into and walmart wouldn't as much as apologize for the incident. The most humorous aspect of this situation is that a company called CA Sunnyvale ARCOT systems charged my account shortly before the walmart transaction. I later was told from my bank that they are hired by Walmart to make sure that the credit card is not stolen. I paid for that service...go figure!

On Jan. 13th 2010 I received a call from my 84 year old mother at my home saying my bank had called and said my checking account had been compromised. I rushed to my bank leaving work. I was informed that the banks fraud department had a few other instances of check fraud and that the one thing the victims had in common was that they wrote checks at the Walmart in Crestwood, IL.

I told my bank that the only checks I wrote were to pay bills and to Walmart in Crestwood as well. I went home found my receipts for the checks I wrote to Walmart dating all the way to June of 09 with the last check being written there on Dec. 23, 09.

I called the Walmart and the manager James McAlpine said he had no knowledge of any fraud occurring by his employees at his store. I gave him my receipt info which told what tellers checked me out. Someone else from the store then called me back and said they were checking into it but it was circumstantial at best.

I called Crestwood police who told me they had gotten other complaints re: that particular store but that I needed to file a report with the police where I lived, which I then went and did.

I called the Crestwood store the next day, the 14th, demanding to have my bank reimbursed as well as myself for the time off work needed to straighten this whole mess out. I went back to the bank on the 14th as well, to sign affidavits and was told that an 88 year old woman on social security, just had the same thing happen to her. She wrote a check to Walmart in Crestwood as well.

I called Wallmart again on the 14th and told them I would go to the media. I immediately received a call back from the head of the southside stores, Chris at [protected]. He told me they were aware of what was going on but that the Secret Service was involved as this was a 4 state operation and if I went to the media the people involved who pack there bags and go some where else and they would not get the ones making the checks. That day I also received a call from Dave Prendergast from the Secret Sevice Chicago field office [protected] who basically told me the same thing but added that I should not be so upset as the banks were the ones who were really losing money. He also states that he was in the store on Dec 23rd and was aware of the employee performing the act. I was also told that I was the 40th victim! I was told that soon the media would be informed as to what went on at that store.

I called Walmart head branch 1800 Walmart, with my complaint as well and was told I wold here from someone in 3 to 5 business days.

I received a call from my bank on the 15th saying my account was in overdraft and could I deposit more money. I started to cry and scream about how I had no other money and that Walmart should be putting the money back as they were the ones allowing this to continue in the name of a greater good. I told my bank what I was told re: the fraud by the Secret Service as well. I called the Walmart headquarters again on the 15th and told them I needed to speak with someone now. I was told the same thing 3 to 5 business days. I called Dave at the Secret Service and complained that he needed to let the banks know what was going on. I have not heard from him since.

Since that time my accounts remain in a mess and on Friday the 23rd I called Walmart again and told them I had not received a call yet and it was over 5 business days, I was told that now my complaint would be given to the next person up and he would call me in 3 to 5 business days!

So here I wait... Walmart's slogan, Save money, Live Better should instead be: Walmart Employees will take your money so your life becomes a living HELL!

Does Walmart care...come on what do you think!

On August 4th 2009 my mother in law sent me 2, 000 Euro from Spain, using MoneyGram services. In the same day two persons picked up this money in North Carolina (I live in Chicago!), using a fake driver license and all the secret informations needed for this transaction. One of them- that is what the police found- was "an employee at the business" who had access to the MoneyGram system. Location: Walmart Store#***9.
I consider Walmart responsible for this, because one of those suspects was an Walmart employee.
Lets' see how long it will take them to convince me they are innocent.

Two consecutive Saturdays, my identity was stolen by criminals who fraudulently opened up instant credit with Walmart on line. I spent HOURS trying to fix this last week, and filed with the credit b's for identity theft to have me notified by cell if ANY new credit activity. WALMART ignored this and gave another creep instant credit with MY info. There is almost no way to contact a live person on the week-ends or after hours and crooks know this.

We need INSTANT humans for trouble not just INSTANT credit to benefit the stores.

I have loved to do my shopping at Walmart here in Florida. There has been several problems with employees some nice, and some rude. I have continued shopping there. But today is the last straw. I had to ask 4 employees where, i can find an item, some would point in the direction where i can find it. another said in the stationary department. That item was not located in the stationary department. I saw another employee and walked as i was trying to get his attention.by speaking. The casher's are bagging incorrectly. No more of this ludicrious chain of stores. I hate the rudeness towards the customers. We are paying their salary.

On more then one occasion when i was checking my email i would get a sudden notice informing me that i am a lucky winner of a $1000.00 walmart card. All i had to do was to take a 5 minute survey and upon completion i would just have to verify my mailing address as to facilitate the delivery of my free walmart card. What happens however is they run you through a battery of different products that you have to purchase by giving up your credit card number. They try to make you believe that you don't have to purchase anything however you don't get any walmart card without a purchase. Even with a purchase i don't believe a walmart card is ever delivered. After closing the site i received a phone call from the company in question, it was by the way a computer generated call giving me a number to call for a free $ 40.00 visa gift card for my trouble of doing the survey. I called the number out of curiosity only to be asked more qualifying questions. No longer was i an automatic winner of a $40.00 visa gift card but only a possible winner.Obviously this secondary company using walmarts name intends to sell products to you and never intends on giving anything in return. Walmart is just as responsible for this fraud as the company that contacted me and i am not done here.

Actually the secret service was created in 1865 specifically to suppress counterfeit money. Protecting the president nowadays maybe what they are most known for but that is a very small part of what they do. They mostly deal with issues regarding currency(i.e. money laundering, check fraud, printing counterfeit currency). The FBI does as well... it is just an example of overlapping govt bureaucracies.

Merchants almost always get screwed with payment card fraud anyway since the rules are written by the card issuers, so going to Walmart is barking up the wrong tree since no sane merchant would initiate the chargeback process. You need to have your bank reverse the charges. You might need to sign an affidavit saying you did not make the purchase, but federal law limits cardholders to $0 of liability for card not present transactions which is the case for all e-commerce situations. I used to work for a fraud prevention program, so I know how the system works. If the front line workers at the bank give you a hard time demand to speak to a manager, but any competently run bank shouldn't fight back too much.

You are being given the run-around. The Secret Service does not investigate actions like this - that is the territory of the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). You need to go to the Police Department where you filed your report and get a copy of it. If possible, get the name of the officer that told you there have been multiple reports of this incident. Take that copy of your report and go directly to the District Attorney's office that covers the location of that particular Wal-Mart. Speak to them about the situation and inform them that you have been told there are other incidences besides yours and, if you managed to get it, the name of the officer that gave you this information. The District Attorney's office will be able to tell you what to do from there and may well proceed with an investigation of their own. Good luck!

Yeah maybe he shops at Walmart!

We had a Short overbearing Loss Prevention in Central Square NY; run up to me and my mother in the parking lot a few months ago and state that we were banned from the store for returning items too many items with or without receipts and were taking bottles and cans out of the trash. So we just started shopping at the Cicero NY Walmart and about two weeks ago the same LP from Central Square stopped us again and told us that we were banned from all Walmart's not just the one in Central Square. I told him show me the papers that state that we were banned and he told me that he did not have to show them to me and if we returned he would call the cops on us. I told him fine we do not have to shop at Walmart at all and get better quality from other stores anyhow. I am sure that I am not the only one in this area that has a problem with that Loss Prevention person; because he has the personality of most power hungry dictators that will probably drive customers out of the Central Square Walmart and cause the store to close.

LAWSUIT THOSE A HOLES

I have to say that Walmart in Central Square needs improvement. I am tired of seeing this place that is suppose to be a super Walmart when it is a JOKE! I say let me in there to straighten up that place...it needs it.

My wife has worked for Wal-Mart for 9 years. The first few years her bonuses were between $500 and $1000. Then she received a new manager and her bonuses dropped to below $100. During that time we moved to Tennessee and her bonus she received was over $800. We moved back to our hometown and her bonuses dropped to below $100. The store in our hometown has a substantially higher sales volume than the one in Tennessee. Due to this and other evidence, I belive the stories I've been hearing about how the manager has been using the store bonus money to constantly remodel the store, instead of paying the bonuses. The manager was also severely understaffing the departments, especially the cashiers so she could increase her bonuses. She also decreased the full time employees’ hours to the min. and hired part-timers at a lower wage to increase her bonus potential. She has severely damaged the financial security of many of the families that depend on that income to survive. In reply to Scotty1998 they can redistribute the money to things other than paying the hard earned bonuses the employees deserve. The example I give is the difference between the caring manager in Tennessee and the selfish manager in Ohio.

I was gonna say, it would be impossible for any management to steal money out of any associate's check since the checks come directly from headquarters in Bentonville Arkansas. I think your information is slightly flawed. Walmart does not run like any Ma and Pa store where the money comes from a single person. Everything at Walmart is corporately run and your paycheck comes from corporate directly. Sorry to say.

embellishment= an ornament or decoration.

embezzlement= to appropriate fraudulently to one's own use, as money or property entrusted to one's care.

you should probably forget big words when you complain...

Actually meebabi, I work at the same store as Stacy. The store manager did not steal from her bonus, she willing signed up to give her bonus to the schools and changed her mind and wanted her money back after her husband lost his job and she had trouble making ends meet, she has four children to feed. She is a hard worker but she is threatening to spread these lies to the media if she does not get her money back(which she concented on donating. Infact there is a list of those who donated on the wall by the employee lunch room and I would not be surprised if she only donated her bonus to look like a good citizen then beg for her bonus back and still be on the list of those that donated. Also she bad mouths our store manager all the time. I don't know if he got his bonus or not, that is no one's business and I find it weird that stacy would know his business, however she has told me she would be posting this on online blogs, contacting newspapers ect until she gets her bonus(which she willingly donated) back. She is even using her children to making them look desperate to get her money back.

I wish you the best of luck, that is awful! I work in the retail industry as well and it is a job where a lot is expected of you for very little pay. Although I am not fortunate enough to receive any bonuses (I don't even get a discount!) I would most certainly be appalled if someone where to take part or all of my bonus away from me without my knowledge & consent!

As far as the eye protection of these glasses they are the best I have ever owned. Unfortunately they were stepped on and all broken. Can't find another pair of Edisto.

My lens fell out...glass so shattered. Emailed got no response. Finally found a number and called. Got a call back...said for me to download and fill out form to submit. Would take approx. 6 weeks to get a lens. I explained I didn't keep back up sunglasses...it's summer...6 weeks is nuts. I was hoping to order and pay now...get lens shipped...no such luck. Online now looking for sunglasses...came across this and had to chime in. Good glasses, but good luck if anything goes wrong! Nonexistent customer service / parts ordering.

Also did make bad experience with that company. The glasses are high quality but frames are cheap :( its my second pair where the screw broke off and glass fall out. Try to contact the company several time via email no response!

Fully agree with Richard H and robbie, and can't understand alterior's response. Alterior, when the lens falls out, that's a bad product, and it's largely the frame's fault, not the lens'. Also, lacking a website (now can't even find it), and or having no contact information is suspicious. I wish I'd read Richard H's complaint before I got mine, which have been unable to maintain the ear-spacing (weak nose-bridge keeps allowing the frames to bend and twist), dropped a lens (and when you're wearing them, that can be a hazard; and it happened to me), and are so darn flimsy they twist and lose shape even when very gently handled. I will not use or recommend Caribbean Sun.

i bought caribbean sun polarized sunglasses for $ 79.95 after a little over 2 mounts the right lense cracked.when i went back to walmart they told me to connect caribbean sun for a new lense.i have been trying for 3 weeks with no result.there is no way to get in touch with the co.

I disagree, I bought a Caribbean Sun frame from Wal Mart to use as prescription sunglasses. Over 2 years, and constant abuse, frequent droppings, lens poping out, and metal is finally peeling off the high wear zones the sunglasses still keep on working. The frame to me is perfect, everything I'd want in a pair of sunglasses.

I'm considering going to walmart to purchase another pair because in my opinion it is a high quality product, especially for the price, at 150$ for polarized, prescription sunglases there is hardly any wrong. Less then 75$ a year, less then 5$ a day, these sunglasses more then made up.

Also, at doing the math I am quite surprised that it is roughly 5$/day payoff for a purchase of 150$. Would've thought it'd be much less.

May seem like a dumb question but if Meijer had the product on sale, then why not just buy it at Meijer?

This was probably an earlybird sale, and first comes = first served. Hard to see where WM is at fault here. Wake up earlier next year, if you truly want to have a laptop that has last year's technology on it (all these BF sales are essentially outdated merchandise).

It may not be your check that was given to the cashier. They take the routing number and the account number and use a program called "Quicken" and within a few seconds on a printer with blank check stock, they can have their names on the check and you without a single dollar in your account.

As soon as you know your checks are stolen, close the account and make sure that all bills are paid in full before doing so. Then open another account. So when the run the check in the check reader, the check will bounce. (That is why the numbers on the bottom of the check look so funny).

I worked for Walmart and the only time they told us to ask for ID for anything is if the register asked for a birthdate. If there was no birthdate asked, we were to take anything, credit cards or checks and even sell alcohol and cigs. Its an awful place. That is why I am no longer there and will never go back.
