Ouch. That sounds brutal (referring to the OP)
I've honestly never had any real issues with Wal Mart. Part of doesn't know what I'd do without them
Honestly, I think Wal Mart has been greatful to me. I remember I bought my Playstation 3 there about 6 months ago and I got a three year repair free warranty for 20 bucks. (Which usually got 25 bucks a year elsewhere!)
Maybe your Wal Mart is just afraid of losing customers
