There was a time that I loved good old WallyWorld but I really do think I am officially done shopping there for the bulk of my groceries and household items. The shelves are empty, the selection of products is horrible, you NEED to know your prices, their produce is one step from the dumpster, they no longer sell their cute dog clothes lines, the lines are long and their employees are either disgruntled or just don't care they have jobs! Let's not even mention how the Super Walmart 5 minutes from me thinks that everyone is a thief and demands to see your receipt to exit the building. After waiting in line forever and stuffing the receipt into god only knows where I now have to stand at the door and prove I just waited 20 minutes in line and dropping a boatload of money with all of the other people searching for their receipt to get past this guy. There must have been 15 people standing around waiting for ONE EMPLOYEE to look over each customers receipt to exit the store! :thumbdown When I asked why he needed to see it he said for the giant package of paper towels on the cart~~even thought ALL MY OTHER FLIPPIN' GROCERIES WERE IN BAGS! :mad: If I was going to steal something I would be taking that 54" TV and not a $9 package of paper towels out the door! :rolleyes:

To put the icing on my visit~I am pushing my cart full of stuff and some woman who had on Indian moccasins and Rainbow Brite shorts with her (not face) cheeks hanging out needed to comment aloud that I had a lot in my cart! I should have taken a picture for Linda's thread or to submit to People of Walmart.com

I use to buy my jeans from Walmart~not because I am cheap but I loved how they fit and they carried tall sizes. Not any more! I loved their craft department~gone! Even my daughter commented how they don't have any selection in their clothing or jewelry departments. She would occasionally find something cute but not anymore! Nope~all gone! Sam Walton must be turning over in his grave! :(


After shopping on Saturday and now needing to go to a second store to get what they didn't have it really pushed me to never wanting to go back.

the last time i went there was around easter last year. I saw a commercial for bags of one color M&Ms. I was throwing a baby shower for a friend so i wanted to get a bag of pink ones there figuring they would be cheaper then the ones at party city. So off i go to the closest Walmart. As soon as i get into the parking lot some moron almost hits me because they neglected to stop at a stop sign. I should have just turned around then and there but i wanted those darn M&Ms. I get into the store and start searching around the easter stuff and then candy isle. no M&Ms to be found except large bags of peanut M&Ms. I figure i'll just ask someone where they are.... 10 minutes later i find an employee who works in that section of the store. I ask her about the uni-color M&Ms bags. First she points me to the regular candy isle, but then i tell her no, and explain about the commercial with the single color bags. Now she looks like she understands and takes me to the location. We end up in the baking isle and she points to the cake icing. I sigh, say thank you, and walk away to continue the search on my own. Eventually i find the M&Ms i'm looking for (in a totally obscure area of the store) and guess what.... NO PINK.... they only have orange and yellow...... :mad: so after being in the store for 40 minutes looking for M&Ms i have an arm full of stuff that i really don't need but picked up anyway on my search. i head to check out only to find 3 out of 20 registers open with at least 12 people waiting. the self checkouts are not working. at this point i'm so frustrated with the stupid store that i put all my stuff on the closest shelf and walk out of the store vowing to never return again. and i haven't.

another walmart experience that comes to mind happened a few years ago out at a store on long island. i was with my aunt and she wanted to pick up some cigarettes so i drop her off at the front of the store so she can run in real quick. I ended up having to park somewhere and wait because it took 20 minutes for her to come out. she said the people working the counter were so slow and incompetent that they probably shouldn't be the ones behind that specific counter. she had seen 3 people on line in front of her that definitely were not 18, purchase cigs from these employees.

Oh can I relate to how you feel. I do daycare in my home & used to go to walmart once a week for kid supplies, then we got a Super Walmart. What a joke they are, now I go in with the same list and come out with only about 1/4 of what's on my list and have to go somewhere else for the rest of what's on my list. I made a list of the things I can no longer purchase at walmart and called them on it. I was told 7 mo ago they would see what they could do. Let me tell you what they did NoTHing ! I heard they let go 10,000 people from the main warehouse. Well they will be letting more go soon as no one wants to shop there because you can't get what you want or need anymore. I think we all need to start calling and complaining about once a week and maybe then they will hear us and do something about it.
