I hate Walmart!  email this discussion to a friend?

MynameisSteve (4)   ranked 669 out of 5,520 in shopping 3 years ago

So I'm in Walmart yesterday and trying to get a decent employee to answer a basic question is like pulling teeth! So after being treated like someone with the Black Plague I thought of these cool ways to get on their nerves. Take the shopping carts for the express purpose of filling them and stranding them at strategic locations. Ride those little electronic cars at the front of the store. Set all the alarm clocks to go off at ten minute intervals throughout the day. Start playing Calvinball and see how many people you can get to join in. Contaminate the entire auto department by sampling all the spray air fresheners. Challenge other customers to duels with tubes of gift wrap. And finally Walk up to an employee and tell them in an official ton, "I think we've got a Code 3 in Hours wares and see what happens. HA HA. Does anyone think I'm being a bit too extreme?

I don't shop at Wal-Mart, I use to work at the crumby place, I use to work, work, work I seems like sometimes, I would never see a day off, and the empoyers were as worse I was glad they fires me, I was sick with cancer, when Mylot fired me they said I took too long, to come back to work, and Walmart care about nobody, but money they don't care about customers, employees all they care about is the customers, spending your money in their stupid store, and most of their products come from other countries and way, none of them come from the United States, but We Americans support WalMart, by buying what in their stores,I don't think none of that money they make stay here in the USA.sadthumbdownshocked

Those sound like one of the jokes I got in an email a few months back. I would be afraid of getting the police called on me by doing those.
I do agree though that the Wal-mart employees always seem to have way too much free time on their hands. When you go into the stores you always see all of these employees walking or standing around and then when you need one in the certain department that you need they have all vanished and are not there to help you.Although yes I do think that those may be a little extreme although would be very funny if you could pull it off without getting cuffed and sent off to jail!

It's only my warped sense of humor but it was fun to imagine if I could do all those things but I'm a bit too old to be acting like the Juvenile delinquent! Ha Ha!

Hi MynameisSteve!
I LOVE your personality! I would SOOOOOOOOOO do ALL of those... well, maybe not... what's Calvinball? Don't forget to start placing odd items into strangers carts too... or go into electronics and play the video games then be as loud, obnoxous as you can then ask for a new game to try out LOLOL... I LOVE Wal-Mart... in a BAD way... honestly, I'll walk around the store because its the most local place to go to and then they still not have what I need *at least in a convienent place* so I'll wlak around the store saying as loudly as I can how much I HATE Wal-Mart and how I'm just going to go to Target because at least things are where they should be (so not true, btw)

The best part is walking around the store saying to NO ONE in particular because you are ALONE (for example, I did this once) "If you were a clothes line in Wal-Mart, where would you be" all the while you pass by 4 employees (ONE being a MANAGER) who completely ignore you.

Oh, and one time... I went there for paint... and I had someone paged 5 times to paint, finally 45 minutes later, I whipped out my cell phone, CALLED Wal-Mart, demanded to speak to a manager and told him he needed to come to paint to assist me before I decided I was going to learn how to mix my own paint... which would NOT have been a pretty site...

Wal-marts are pathetic and SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO over-rated!

Hey you have my wife's name and you kind of sound like her too!!


myLot reputation of 67/100. krissy32 (170)   ranked 4,441 out of 5,520 in shopping  3 years ago

Wow! I don't have a clue about the store where you live, but I can tell you its not like that at every store.I think a lot of the problems are not only lazy employees but management getting a bee in the butt about how not to do much while they are on company time. I would have liked to see the look on that manager's face when you told him that if he didn't get someone to help you, pronto, you would do the job yourself! That look would have been absolutely priceless.


myLot reputation of 89/100. fran429 (212)  3 years ago

Hi MynameisSteve,

Your wife has a frantastic name then LOLOL... I read your name and immediately thought of Multiplicity and had the urge to ask if you liked pizza, Steve LOL!


myLot reputation of 89/100. fran429 (212)  3 years ago

Hi Krissy,

We're actually stripping the wallpaper in our bedroom *hopefully* this weekend so probably next weekend I'll be going to Wal-Mart to purchase paint... we'll see if they have improved in that department since the last time I bought paint from there last year...

i hate walmart too.i only go when i have to.
with ours,it's not so much an asking a question issue-it's that they never have enough checkout lines open.ever.
20 booths,5 open.it's ridiculous.shopping for a few items shouldn't become a headache causing,all day event.


MynameisSteve (4)   ranked 669 out of 5,520 in shopping  3 years ago

If I didn't have to go to Walmart, I really wouldn't and actually try not to go! They only thing they sale made in America may only be their tomatoe plants. And I swear everytime I get them they happen to die anyway!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (11395)  3 years ago

i've bought a couple of plants from there-i usually transplant them immedietly.
the pots are usually too small,and the dirt poor.

I only go to walmart when I have too. I think walmart has gone down the past few years. It didn't use to be like that. Maybee you had that one walmart in town that was the one that was always crowed with crumy service but now they are all like that.

I just go when I know I need one specific thing. I use to make my groceries there cause I lived closer to walmart than my grocery store but since I moved im closer to HEB(a grocery store chain in texas) so I really have no need to go to walmart.

It wasn't until I actually knew some people that work at Wal-Mart that I began to understand the problem. They really do work those poor folks to death for peanuts. They act like that job is some sort of golden carrot that they can dangle to keep you running in to take the abuse that they hand out. The one's I shop at aren't so bad as far as how the employees treat the general public. I have seen a huge decline in customer service in a lot of places....not just Wally-world. I do not mistreat people no matter where I work. So I guess it is a statement about the way the world is today that employees take absolutely no pride in their jobs to deliver such a crappy performance on a regular basis all over the place. Happy MyLotting.

Walmart is such an awful place to shop. I certainly understand your feelings. The worst thing to me is the way they treat us like criminals and practically frisk us before we can leave the store, having to show the receipt and then having them count your items, etc. That is so demeaning and I seldom shop there for that reason alone.
However, please don't mess with the handicap carts. Some of the little old people who come in to shop REALLY count on having them there.


myLot reputation of 67/100. krissy32 (170)   ranked 4,441 out of 5,520 in shopping  3 years ago

Agreed, please don't mess with the elderly as one day you might be one of them.
