Granted, I had an credit card account through walmart that was in bad standing, but it was never on my credit until recently. That was over 8 years ago! And then all of a sudden, on my credit report pops up " GEMB/Walmart" account in bad standing! I have 3 other accounts thru GEMB Old Navy, Jc Penny, and Belk in perfectl good standing. WTF!

I purchased a bra which rang up at .15 cents, it turned out to be a size too big, I went to exchange it for a smaller size and Walmart would not exchange it for me, even though I had the receipt. They wanted me to pay full price for the other bra, even though I purchased this one at a sale price. I contacted the store manager, and the customer service center and they would not budge. For as much money as I spent at Walmart, they could have just exchanged the bra to keep a loyal customer happy. I am Chaplain for the State of Connecticut, I also am an active member of my church which has over 1, 000 members and many who shop at Walmart. I will be sure to tell everyone I know, and post as many notices I can regarding Walmart's lack of customer service and resolution.

My complaint is how this store does the hiring for new employees. i have 14 years experience in retail. seven years in management. i did the online application at the store in sykesville, maryland. to begin this complaint, the type of mouse i used did not work correctly. it was a ball that did not work. i spent more time trying to move it to the correct responses than i did to complete the actual application. with this in mind, i firmly believe they do not go into the system to check for any new applicants. i am looking for a management position with walmart that is close to my home. i have a lot to offer this company with my management experience and this was not an option with the application. i understand its a basic application, but how is anyone associated with the store going to know if it is not available? i was a dedicated employee in my last job. i also believe that this store hires based on family and friends. not necessarily based on experience or knowledge. walmart is number one in the retail business. i would like to think it is more advanced that the typical kmart when it comes to hiring. my application has been sitting in the "we will contact you " zone for 57 days. if the company is not hiring, why is it posted on line? am the the wrong color? is my age a factor? many questions.. i just wanted to let you know that with todays economy and people losing jobs, it would be nice to know that walmart is helping. suggestion. change the way you hire. going on line is basically allowing the computer to do the hiring. or, maybe the manager of the store needs to go in and update all applications.
its a great store. get more involved in the hiring business. meet and interview. its all part of finding the right person for the position that needs to be filled.

I have had an on going problem with Douglas tires I purchased at WalMart. I read another thread on Douglas tires. My concern is not the same. First, I have a 2001 Century Custom. I drive approximately 10, 000 miles a year--mostly in my neighborhood which is relatively new and the roads are well maintained. I take a few trips out of town each year which average 400 miles round trip on interstate highways. I am not an expert and do not claim to be one. I maintain my car as per manufacturer recommendations. I think I have addressed the major issues which arose in the other thread.

My problem is different. I admittedly purchased the tires because they were inexpensive. Since I do not drive as much as most people I know, I did not see the need for high performance tires. I went to WalMart because I am a single mom on a disability income. That was a mistake which has cost me.

I purchased two tires in 2005. The tread wear was acceptable. In 2006, the tire would not hold pressure and was replaced under the road hazard warranty I purchased for $10. Okay, I thought that I might have hit something and not noticed it. However, a few months later, I noticed a separation on the sidewall--a straight line across the sidewall which ballooned out on both sides of the line. I took the tire back. I was once again told that it was a case of road hazard and that the tires were horrible and caused problems--two different WalMart tire employees told me this. In May of this year, I noticed yet another identical line across the sidewall. I took the tire back and was once again told that I must have hit something and that with this particular Douglas tire, going over a speed bump at 5 mph could do the tire in--I was charged $20 for tread wear (which, mysteriously was not recorded) and $10 for yet another road warranty plus balancing and stem charge. It is now June and I have another line across the tread. I have had the tire for 1 month and 3 days. After inspecting all of my other tires and seeing that I do not have a pattern of uneven wear or abuse, the manager agreed to replace the tire free.

After some discussion, I was not charged for the balance, road hazard warranty and stem (another $18). The new tire was mounted. I drove home a total of 2 miles. You can run your hand around the tire and feel where the belt is joined. There is already a rough spot. I guarantee that within a very short time, there will be a line form across the sidewall and my problem will reappear.

I have driven 20, 000 miles since the first Douglas tires were installed. One tire made it the 20, 000 miles. That tire would not have made it close to the warranty. Since I feared that It would develop the problem and had it replaced with a better tire. Two different WalMart tire employees have told me that the problem is with the low end Douglas tires. I asked if they would apply the proration to a better tire. I was told no. I feel like I have been caught in a trap. Since I replaced the Douglas tire, I theoretically had several thousand miles of warranty Although WalMart employees changed their mind about the initial source of the problem and now say it is a manufacturer problem, I was still required to pay from $18 to $41 each time the sidewall separates. Why, if they believe it to be a defect in the tire, should I be out for a new road hazard warranty and the other charges? If, as my local WalMart employees have said, the tire is problematic, why are they still selling the tire? Between the road warranties, stems, balancing, etc, I have been out $100 over the cosst of the tire itself PLUS tread wear (fortunately, minor). I should have bought high performance tires. Even today, although I have only had the latest tire for 1 month, the tire tech said it was just the tires. I will not purchase more tires at WalMart. I am praying that the latest tire lasts until my income tax return in Jan. so that I can replace it with a much better tire.

This is a problem with how the tires are manufactured--the fact that the tire put on today is already suspect should be proof enough that it is not my vehicle or my driving. I will never purchase Douglas tires. WalMart has pocketed $40 for road hazard warranties when no road hazard was involved. They should not sell tires their employees say are defective.

Wal-Mart charged me over $7.00 for one box of Bryers Ice Cream! I thought my total was rather high but I did not scrutinize my receipt until I got home. This is when I realized that I was overcharged considerably for my Ice Cream. I normally pay between $2.75 - $4.99 for Bryers Ice Cream but at the time of this particular purchase my Ice Cream cost over $7.00.

Upon checking my receipt I learned that my ice cream was listed as IMPULSE IC. The UPC number next to the item marked as IMPULSE IC was the same as the UPC number on my box of Bryers Ice Cream. Someone at Walmart imputted the item name IMPULSE, with the letters IC, along with the UPC code for Bryers with great care.

The term used to identify this overpriced item 'IMPULSE IC' is of interest as well. Some may consider Ice Cream an impulse buy, a common term used in the world of retail marketing and sales.

I feel that this was done purposely by Wal-mart. I believe that they have considered the chances they would be taking If they ripped off consumers in this mannor.

A customer might be upset but would hardly leave the comfort of their home for two extra bucks or to return melted ice-cream.

I might never have noticed the high price of my ice-cream purchase that day, and with that said, I did in deed notice. I acknowledged that Wal-Mart has effectively ripped me off for an extra $2.00 or more that day.

And that day, I choose to enjoy my overpriced Bryers ice cream, I did not return it to the store, and I vowel never return to Wal-Mart or any of its Subsidiaries again.

Wal-Mart is what's wrong with America! We should have listened!
