Poor service, lack of knowledge, pooly trained employees and don't care attitude of employees in paint dept at Dry Ridge, Ky Walmart store!

To: WalMart Corporate Customer Service

I was at the Redding, CA Walmart last week to get a gadget for my new computer. As I passed the office department on my way to electronics I noticed that all the pens, pencils and markers are now behind glass and under lock and key. The last time I saw something under lock and key there for the first time (other than spray paint) was a week or so before that when I went to buy shaving cream for my husband. I had to have someone unlock the shaving cream, then the employee walked the shaving cream down to Register 15, where (when I finished shopping) I went to be reunited with the shaving cream. Then because I was going to go through the self-check, someone perp walked the Barbasol to the self-check line where, while I stood there, the employee scanned the Barbasol so they knew I had purchased it. I think the Barbasol cost $1.36.

Anyway, the guy in the Electronics department listened to my dismay about the pens and pencils and markers now imprisoned under glass, explained it was due to theft. And guess what else has been locked up? MEN'S UNDERWEAR. Now under lock and key.

So, my imagination wonders what the bad guys are doing with shaving cream, razors, markers and men’s underwear.

The sad thing is that last year I went to buy some spray paint from Walmart, and after waiting around for a little more than ½ hour for an employee to show up and free the paint from lockup with no success, I went to Ace Hardware to get it.

Walmart, you might want to re-think your loss-prevention policies before you lose your (paying) customers. I am a regular customer who was treated like a criminal while trying to by shaving cream for my husband, value $1.36. How much do you lose if I take my business elsewhere?

I am also a local small business owner, and I find it offensive to be treated like a criminal. A Walmart employee has to walk me to the self-checkout so they can scan my purchase so I don’t steal it? If I treated my clients like that, I’d be out of business.

Anyway, just a heads up. I’m planning my future purchases. If I decide to stop thinking of WalMart as my go-to place for everything (for good prices, good service, good return policy, and convenience) I may find options like Amazon, Target, Kmart, and other businesses that won’t be me like the dregs that are stealing your stuff.

I would like to hear back from you on this matter.

i go to the walmart on 159th st in orland hills. i will say this i love the store because its big and have a lot to choose from but time and time again even when i have my child. i have seen your employees smoking in their cars of the parking lot. these same young men have helped me to my car and i smell it on their clothes. i've seen them on their phones in the bathroom, and what caused this email most was a transaction between Tommie Milliner and another young man i only see Marvin on his ID. I'm familiar with Mr. Milliner because i've had conversations with him in the past and invited him to my church. this is terrible your employees are smoking in their cars MARIJUANA NOT CIGARETTES AND BUYING PRODUCT FROM ONE ANOTHER. this is bad for business my mother have seen them in their cars we always smell it on their clothes. something needs to be done about this or you guys will definitely have a bad representation.

i have recently started selling chickens. most easy way for me to receive funds is thruu wallmart to wallmart money gram. the last 2 transactions have been rejected by wallmart. when i go to receive my funds wallmart has put a stop payment on all my transactions. finally got a superviser to call for me and they would not tell him why this has been done to me. i have missed out on 2 sales for a total of about 650 dollars. if wallmart wants to stop me from useing this service should let me know that i have been barred from receiving money thru money gram. . customer service all but told me i was a fraud. at least i finally found this out so will never use money gram again. and i will tell everybody i know about this obsurd action. i 71 years old and i ant no hooblum and never have been. please reply john whistler po box 422004 del rio texas 78842 cell 830 719 3045

This happened at the Starke, Florida store between February 14-15, 2018. Purchased what I thought was a television after speaking with 2 associates in the television/electronics department. and when I got it home, found out it was not a television. Neither employee made mention of it being only a monitor or that additional equipment would be required to receive over the air broadcast television signals. I returned to the store the next morning and explained to two assistant managers individually (the actual store manager is somehow never available) that what they were doing was false advertising and false marketing by having monitors/tunerless displays mixed in with televisions and that they needed to be segregated after which the first assistant manager started to point to the price labels which were arguably misleading in their content and product placement. The first assistant manager argued with me even after me explaining the legal definition of a television requiring a tuner vs that of a monitor or display which do not. After requesting the assistance of another manager she claimed to be the only manager available. As I was walking out the store I found 4 that’s right 4 more assistant managers not 6 aisles away. I requested the one who was the most senior to come with me. I again explain the same thing I had with the first assistant manager. I even purposely and blatently led the second assistant manager past the first one to show her the same problem. The second assistant manager said she would send it up through corporate thought I doubt this will happen as she did nothing else but shrug her shoulders at it. No notepad, no phone, nothing. She said I could get a tuner (additional money out of pocket) or to bring back the other one and that they would exchange it. I went back home, disassembled the tv and because of the aggravation up to this point, lost my focus and nearly got a speeding ticket on my way to return the tv to the store. There is no good reason that a company of that size and technological prowess, with all of the strategic and purposefully designed facets of its operations, should have an array of problems like this, especially on the customer interaction level. 1/2 a tank of gas and 3 hours of life wasted going back and forth not to mention the sheer irritation, anxiety, and stress of the whole experience. I absolutely hate being lied to and I’m not going back for anything else either, I’ll be a lifetime customer elsewhere. I am an Honorably Discharged Disabled Navy Veteran. I also hold a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Business Administration with Dean’s marks and majors in Marketing and International Business and am eligible to continue Master’s and Doctoral studies.

I see there is NO need to had a complaint because I had one Sunday and I have not heard a single word from anyone from Wal Mart. This shows me that you DO NOT CARE about the people who spend their hard earned money with Wal Mart

I would like to inquire as to why money center policies are not the same at all locations? I live in St. Louis and pay my bills at Walmart, my Ameren account is online so I do not receive paper bills, if I take an old bill with the account number on it to the location nearest me, West Florissant in Dellwood, they will not process the payment stating company policy, however if I go to the Walmart on Lindbergh in Florissant, I have no problem, so I believe the location in Dellwood just doesn't want to do it, I am a disabled senior who does not drive so the extra distance is a disconvenience.

I have tried to have an online error caused by Walmart resolved since 1/29/2018 and as of today 02/13 it has not been resolved. I am at my wits end. I have been to the Walmart store in Castroville Tx 78009 customer service twice (1/29 & 2/9) to see if they could help and they have done their part at being helpful but its the customer service billing dept that apparently doesn't know what they are doing. I am owed a credit of $156.20 and the customer service billing dept has said that I would be receiving a credit on my credit card and like I said before it has not happened. What do y'all propose to do?

I tried to return some deco mesh that was purchased the end of December. I was told it was a Christmas item and couldn't be returned in February even though I had my receipt and it was well within the 90 day return policy. Nowhere have I seen this policy posted regarding deco mesh. I have been fighting both flu and strep and I don't think it was safe to expose store employees sooner. I spend an average of 600$ per month wal mart, however, I will not be doing business there again.

Having to stand in line half an hour waiting for a cashier with only 2 lanes open. Then you get stopped at the door for your receipt like you have
stolen your merchandise. I will be doing my grocery shopping at a different store. I might pay more but get treated with respect.

I stopped by the deli department at the Pryor OK Walmart as usual to get my sandwich meats I like. There was a new girl working, short, young, dark hair and glasses. I didn't catch her name, couldn't stand to be around her any longer. She was extremely rude, sarcastic tone, raising her voice at me because she couldn't hear me very well because of the noise in the background, and just so crappy to me, I told her to cancel my order, I'll just have to get my order at another store, even though I like the deli meats at the Pryor Walmart better than the other stores in the area were they're available. I've never been treated like this little punk brat treated me in ANY Walmart! She acted like she was PMSing, and I was her two year old brat kid! I have teenagers in my home that don't treat me or their mother like this! This little brat employee has obviously been raised without any discipline and has no idea how to treat people! I ended up not spending 40 to 50 bucks on my regular deli items, and now have none for my work week because I just don't like the meats I get from the other places I can get them. I live 15 miles away and go out of my way to go to the Pryor, OK store to get my deli items, but don't believe I'll ever get them there again as long as I see this little punk working there!

We live in a small town, Waverly, TN. We use Walmart at least 2 times a week for Walmart's' products. My husband went to return Walmart's brand,
' Mainstays Vacuum Sealer Rolls.' A 2 pack 8"x20" and a 2 pack 11"x16". I have used them before and buy extras. The ones my husband TRIED to return were both of these boxes. ALL FOUR rolls had CRINKLES in them across, about every 6" to where I could not vacuum seal them because the wrinkles in them would not seal right no matter how I tried. So he goes to Walmart and speaks to the manager but she says she cannot take them back because they were OPEN! and cannot be re-shelved! My husband asked her that if we could not use them, why are you going to put them back on the shelf for re sale?! She gave no answer. So, he brought them back (to take up space on our shelf) and he bought the Ziplock brands. We have a small grocery store near by and we tend to start using their services more frequently instead of Walmart and let our neighbors be informed how disappointed we are with Walmart.

Went to deli and waited while girl finished a cake ,waited while a discuss a job of being cake decor then while they waited on other people like I wasn't there and then a third girl cames back there after about twenty min. And ask if she could help me .I told her what I needed .she said I'll have to wait and let someone else.told manager they talked to them and I still had to leave without what I wanted

The associates at the store were great. I purchased a 65 inch LG TV on January 15,2018. While in BJs I say the exact TV for $250. less. I had already taken it out of the box and set it up and used it for 2 days. The associate too it out and never gave me the receipt. The girls at the store told us they do not match other stores and we would have to bring it back. I was very up set because of the fact we had to take it off the wall disconnect the cable package it up bring it back and of course we had no receipt. The girls looked it up and credited my Walmart card. This whole ordeal was a large inconvenience for me and my husband. We will think twice to make a large purchase again. I just needed to get this off my chest.

My name is Joe Michael in Joplin,Mo. I recently emailed an inquiry to doug.mcmillion@wal-mart.com but no response. My inquiry/complaint is I recently purchased a product online thru Walmart.com approximately 11/28/2018 and it has a defective part. It was delivered Dec. 18th and reported about part then, I am getting run around and stalled and without answers to when the issue of replacement part and repair is to be done. We talked to the manager at West 7th Walmart here in Joplin and she advised to notify you to see if we could receive any support on getting the issue resolve!We are needing support for a warranty issue concerning Leggett & Platte. We think almost two months should be ample time to replace and repair the part as is not usable as it now stands. We think we have been very patience in this matter and want the problem resolved asap. We have contacted Leggett & Platte number provided in owners manual several times with no success. Please advise where to report problem in more detail. thank you in advance

Workers cursing through out the store. One checker for the whole store. I asked fir help and no one helped. They just looked around!!!! Sorry experience tonight!!!!!!!!

On 1/18/2018 @ appx. 07:00 I went to walmart garden center to purchase a snow shovel the sale associate stated to me that they did not have any other than the ones with the pointed ends. so I asked him can I go out side in the garden area where tools are and he stated he could open the door to the area because he did not have a key and then he point out the only shovel he had was this # 004920613192 sitting by the inside door I told him I needed two and could he get the manger to open the door he the called the manger over who came right away and said I can't open the door to let you go out their due to safety issues now it was some snow out their that looked frozen over but I could also see plenty of concrete ground so I ask him maybe he could grab me a shovel "the manger said again I can't open the so I ask him his name and he stated Gary, I said you don't have a last name and he said he don't' give out his last name. I thank him and went directly to customer service. where I found another Manger Gogar v. walmart csm and I ask to speak with the manger of the store. She ask me what I needed so I said to myself I'll give her a try and I told her my problem. She then radio back to the garden center and ask for ( I don't remember the ladies name but she pretty much stated what the associate and Gary had told me,so Manger Gohar and I went to the Garden center where she talk with the unknown lady who went on to tell me the type of shovel I needed a round or square one not the pointed one that she only had left in the garden center. So Gohar said well can't we go out and look and Gohar unlock the door and the two ladies went out where the tools are kept. now i;m looking out watching them the other lady pick up a larger pointed shovel and started to come back in when Gohar picked up the same shovel 004920613192 that the associate and manger gary tried to sale me one of when I needed two all because this customer wasn't going to make them unlock the door and go into the cold. I want to thank Manger Gohar for going above and beyond her duties to do some one else job. My husband will be able to get in the house safely with the drive and walk way shoveled, from his dialysis treatment five stars to Manger Gohar.

Every time I go in for my 90 day refill request one or more of my refills is out of stock. I am told I have to go to this pharmacy. WHY CAN THEY NOT KEEP MEDICINE IN STOCK. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THAT THEY ARE GETING LOW AND KEEP THESE STOCKED

Went shopping on 1/6/18. Spent about an hour in toy section looking at radio control drones. I'm 61 and my granddaughter and I love these. Nothing had a price on it and no one to ask. Had to go and find scanner to see price. Left my buggy and walked to scanned at least a dozen times. 3 times I returned to find an employee walking away with my buggy. I had 6 items and my winter gloves and hat in there. When I left store noticed my gloves were gone. Can't get anyone to answer customer service phone.

On November 26, 2017 at approx. 4:15 hrs. My daughter (Ashley} asked Door Monitor (Isaiah) to assist her with a bike I wanted to purchase for my grandsons Christmas present. Isaiah refused to help Ashley, telling her with sarcasm to ask the Self Check Employee. When Ashley asked Isaiah to please utilize his radio to eliminate me from further inconvenience (I underwent surgery to have my neck replaced) he still refused displaying an unprofessional demeanor.

At this time, Ashley asked another Employee to please call for the Store Manager. As we waited Isaiah approached Ashley yelling at her as he raised his arm holding his work radio near her head in a threatening manner. This is when I stepped up towards Ashley and Isaiah, telling him to put his hand down and stop raising his radio at and near her head. Ashley moved away from Isaiah to ask for additional help. I informed Isaiah his actions are threatening and he needed to stop. Isaiah immediately approached and leaned into my shopping cart continuing to make sarcastic remarks. I asked Isaiah 3 times to move away from me. He refused to do so, also raising his handheld radio in very close proximity to me. I told him the radio is used to communicate, not use it as a potential weapon in a threatening manner.
Isaiah refused to step away from me putting his hands in the air making a verbal gesture to me (Attempting to provoke me) as he remained leaning into my shopping cart. There's no doubt I felt I was in danger as I tried to remain calm. I am physically unable to defend myself and extremely vulnerable. Not a moment sooner Assistant Store Manager Ymauda came to my rescue and intervened. She immediately ordered Isaiah to step away and return to his work assignment. Ymauda was very friendly and concerned with the above mentioned when I informed her. I observed Isaiah moving closer to us as I told Ymauda of his actions. Ymauda told Isaiah to have a seat in the office. To my dismay, Isaiah made yet another inappropriate comment to Ymauda refusing to obey her direct order. It was evident this embarrassed and surprised Ymauda. She gave another order to Isaiah to go to the office as I heard him tell her, "No". Ymauda immediately approached Isaiah and had a short conversation with him. He finally left and entered her office. Ymauda was so apologetic and professional in handling this situation that I don't want her actions to go unnoticed. I was pleased with the control and demeanor Ymauda possessed in dealing with the above and the respect and courtesy she delivered.

I can only hope this Employee Isaiah is no longer employed with Walmart. I have never had a bad experience shopping at Walmart, until November 26, 2017. No one has communicated with me as to this traumatic event I endured. I was victimized by Isaiah (Assaulted) to say the least. I only wish someone from Corporate reached out to me to check on my mental frame of mind. I have not returned to this Walmart since the above mentioned. I do not feel safe shopping here and will miss everything Walmart has to offer.

In closing I would like to recognize Ymauda. She was superb in her Leadership, Professionalism, Sympathy, and taking control of a potentially volatile incident that if not for her quick assessment could have had a much worse ending. For that I thank her and wish her SUCCESS with her Employment at Walmart.

Sincerely,
