I agree with everything you said, except for the "more consumer spending" spart. There's evidence that lower wages means lower consumption; on the contrary, low wages simply shift purchasing power from workers to shareholders. Theoretically, you could argue that shareholders have less of a propensity to consume than workers, but all the evidence (i.e. low savings rates) seem to refute this argument.

Any discussion of Wal Mart must contain a mention of the role its founder and CEO has played in promoting vouchers for schooling.

i am currently an employee at wal-mart, and i must say that walmart does treat there employees badly. They make them work 12--14 hours in one day and take that time off so they don't have to pay you over-time. They lie to there employees and make them think that they work for a good company. Which is also a lie.

After today's trip to Wal-mart I have decided NEVER to shop there again. I waited in line with two young children for 30 minutes on a Thursday at 1pm just to buy 10 items. I complained to the Wal-Mart staff and I am going to write a letter to corporate headquarters. I understand that they are trying to keep the prices low, but they have got to bend a little somewhere to make it less of a nightmare to shop there. The manager told me that the lack of adequate sales associates is due to "the economy.... and payroll..." I would almost accept that explanation except for the fact that the lines have been long for at as long as I can remember shopping at Wal-Mart. Plus, I believe increasing salaries helps boosts the economy because people then buy more goods and services. The Wal-Mart manager also told me that the long lines are due to the high volume they generate. I politely told the manager that I would shop elsewhere and help them solve that problem.

Can anybody help? I am trying to find out about Walmart and donations it makes to political parties. Here,in England, my local superstore is owned by Walmart. I want to try and make links between Walmart as a US company and the possible war against Iraq. Any way I suppose that some profit from here goes to the US taxman and thus helps the military indirectly? I'm not clever at these things so any help would be good.

Thanks

I recently was at one of your department stores and purchased 5 of the same item. I took it to the service desk and they scanned the box. Now the price that came up was a different price that was on the shelf in the photo section. Now I've been buying thesse photo tabs for my busines for about a year now and have always paid $1.67. Now they cost $2.94. But there is no shelf tag in photo for the 500's there's only a tag for the two hundred. The sku on the box is 078484033777. The sku on the reciept was 007848402602. I had bought them a store number 1681, operator 00002387 te#94 TR#0023. The manager of that store is Tony Boyd. Thanks for your time. Bye.

I am currently an employee of Wal-mart and I have to say that it is is not the family oriented company that it claims to be. They have you doing work that is beyond your job description but do not hand out merit raises for the work you do. They ask why you think you deserve one, then it's never spoke of again. If you go to management to discuss a problem, soon everybody in the store knows about it. I thought what you talked about was supposed to be confidential. They say we should feel priveleged to work there. With all the money this company makes a year, it would seem that they would increase the salaries a little. We do not get paid enough for the work that we do or our loyalty to the company. The open door policy is a joke, They tell us that our opinions matter yet they never want to listen to us. Also there is alot of favoritism at Wal-mart,It is hard to get ahead in this company unless you know somebody. Merit raises and promotions are given to those people who interact with management. People who do the actual "hard" work get nothing for their efforts. This is just the true facts of Wal-mart.

Last monday night my daughter who worked at Walmart, was viciously beaten and left bleeding on the in an empty vacant parking lot. She had invited a co-worker to go out to state campground, she was camped at, and then ask him if he wanted to invite some friends. One turned out to be a former girlfriend. The three girls dragged her out of the car and proceeded to kick and beat her ion her face and body. The co-worker left with these girls leaving my daughter bleeding on the ground. This co-worker told police he didn't know the girls or where they might live.

The police went to walmart, took pictures of extensive bruises and abrations and questioned the male co-worker. Officers then stated that they did not know who the girls were and for my daughter to call them if she found out who they were.

Three days later the same male co-worker informed Sara that one of the girls was checking out of the store. My daughter went to the front and ask the cashier to call police. She stated that her phone didn't call out so Sara ran to photo and they called police. Meanwhile the girl was walking out with her mother. My daughter followed her out and stood in front of car so they could not leave, until police arrived. The mother told her to move or 'she would move her'. The manager came out and told my daughter that she could not interfere with a customer leaving and sent her inside where she was fired. The co-worker who offered no help at the assault and in fact left with the three girls, who withheld information on their idenity and then offered no aid at the store, still has his job. Does anyone know who she can appeal to. Thank you, Diane

I am trying to find the e-mail for the corporate office or address I want to file a complaint against the walmart in avondale arizona 2554, I was an associate there for over two years until they decided they wanted to get rid of the workers that made to much money it didn't matter what kind of worker you were or how long you have been with the company. I have been in the working field for over 20 years and never had once been coached or written up, that is until Friday the 15th of August, when summer started I had told my department manager, my assistant manager and everyone else that I had transportation problems and would have to get a ride with my brother-n-law and I would have to come in the same hours he did which was no problem I told them I was trying to fix this problem but being the only one working in my family at the time money was scarce this seem to be no problem to them until this past Friday Aug 15th, 2003 when I was called in the assistant managers office where than I was told I was being wrote up for coming in late and leaving early which was a bunch of bull, my brother-n-law also got wrote up a few days before I did, and he was told he had one tardy but got wrote up for other things, and it seems kind of funny that when this assistant manager was on nights she didn't have any problem with me coming in early so they could pull me to other departments to safe their butts before the store manager came in, it all boils down to one thing money so they can get their precious undeserved bonus at the end of the year. Walmart is no more a family store than the sky is pink with purple polka dots. Well if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm looking for anyone who has infro and facts about walmarts tire and lube express.
after going with my car for oil changes for 9 months and paying for service I never got, meaning they told me they were checking everything, they never did, leaving my transmission to be almost empty or they empty it.
now my car is left with transmission and rearend differential damage.
I went to walmart to make the complaint and they turned it over to this co.CMI
well this is turning out to be a nightmere.
They won't pay.
I have ben seaching on the net about complaints which I found one site and now seeing that there are a lot of people like myself thay had their cars damaged by walmart and won't pay.
I plan on going public on the news this coming week, paper and tv.
this walmart is in a small town in upstate new york, Cobleskill, I hoping that I can make a difference about walmart, as now it's just not their tier and tube, it's the whole store in any walmart.
like they have brainwashed the public, oh this is a family store and we stand behind are products and work.
I feel sorry for the unpaid workers there.
So if anyone can help me with any leeds.
email me or call 718-626-4555
as I'm really upset as this isn't just a product that cost me $100 and I can't get it back.
it's mt car value $10,000.
my car is my savings and my life.
Thanks

I am a senior in highschool and have worked at Wal~Mart for over a year. In the beginning it seemed like an alright place but soon turned into a nightmare. Our store told us that minors were not allowed to work shifts over 5 hours long and this was a law. Crazy enough, children at other places and those at my store who were related to people higher up were allowed to work more hours. One day they changed it to 6 hour shifts, meaning we work at the register for 3 hours, get a 15 min. break, and then go back to the register for 3 hours.
We are constantly understaffed, making the workload 10 times harder and then causing us to make mistakes. After making a mistake we're taking into an office where a manager tells us that we are to be "terminated" is another mistake happens.
Is this really the kind of place a 17-year-old girl should be working after school? The job did not advertise for exhausting days and harrassment, it's just one of the unsaid perks.

I am trying to find out where I can write, call or email a complaint. I live in Mississippi and have 3 super centers within 15 minutes of my house. Only one of them carries matzo and other related items(I am jewish). I asked the manager of the store closest to home and was told there are not enough of my kind of people that would use the product to put it in the store. I am extremely angry.
Thank you

we as walmart customers dont care for the fact that walmart messes up and we pay we have a walmart card and all they can do is mess ou the billing dates or say we did not pay then they call us all day and charge the intrest too ............... i to want the adress thank u

I hate Walmart,their demeaning to all their associates,you know,all us dirty,inbred,people,who put out the stock everyday,run over to the grocery dpt/helping out also.Getting rid of all overtime,cutting down our hours around xmas,so the store manager can get his Fat-Ass bonus,making us look and feel like we have no future with your dog ass company.Who the hell do you think you are? Wake up and stop thinking you are hiring peons and idiots for your dirty work.When oh when are you idiots controlling WalMarts all over the country going to realize that your asses could at any time be on the way out also.Nobody,but nobody is safely employed at WalMart stores.

I was injured by the store manager at store number 2920, Orange Park Florida. It was an absolute madhouse on Friday morning but after he hit me with two dvd players he refused to take responsibility. All I wanted was an apology and all he offered were absolute lies and screaming. I intend to pursue this as far as I possibly can. I do not want money for this. I want to know HOW this man, with his horrible attitude toward his CUSTOMERS, could have ever made it to be a store manager. If there is anyone else out there who has or has ever had a similar complaint, please contact me.

I need to know the address of where to serve walmart with a small claims lawsuit. I was injured due to their negligence last year. I cannot find an attorney to take on the Goliath in a civil case so I am pursuing them through small claims court to pay some of my medical bills. Any help would be appreciated.

I was an employee at Walmart for 5 years. I was a Customer Service Manager. I went out on maternity leave. After returning to work, I stepped down to a Courtesy Desk Associate trying to adjust to the idea of having a new baby. After I got the hang of things and saw that several positions were posted for CSM, I applied. I was interviewed, and tested. After completing this process I was told by an assistant manager that i was not qualified for the position, after holding the positon for 5 years. I became very upset because an associate that had been there for 4 months was chosen over me. I contacted the District Manger and Store Manger only to be told that I was not chosen for the positon because the assistant manager had never worked with me. I quit and walked out in total frustration.

I purchased items online at WALMART.com on 1/18/2004 and within 30 minutes, canceled the order. I emailed immediately to advise of the cancelation, as well as followed the cancelation proceedure to be sure the order was canceled. Today 1/19/2004 I receive an email that it was shipped -- shipped within 30 minutes on a SUNDAY NITE from an online order? I think not. Now I'm responsible for returning these items - and I'm handicapped, so this will be a huge mess for me to deal with. This is fraud. They knew I canceled, this should not have been shipped & charged to my credit card.

I agree with the fact Walmart is not fair to their employees. My mother is 74 years old and still working. She is a faithful and dependable employee and work circles around her co-workers. She is constantly be picked at because of her age and is often refused time off. Currently she is requesting 4 days off at Easter(she has the vacation days)to see her sister that is not expected to live over 6 months. We are having a family reunion and she has been told she can not go. It makes me sick to see the T.V. spots that talk about how wonderful Walmart is to their employees. Furious in Florida!

I used to work Walmart. But before I worked there I was a Walmart fanatic. I was there all the time. I worked for the xmas season and only wanted part-time and applied from 6-close, which at that time was 11pm. After thanksgiving they automatically put me to work until 12pm and 12:30pm, with out asking me. They knew I had a day job which I started at 8am and my own business in the afternoons. Supposely if you are scheduled to work till 11:00 it's till then. The CSM are to get you off the registers 15minutes early so you can clock out by 11:00, not store # 1949. And what about this zoning, after 11:00, which don't make sense, that is why the have overnight crew... My other complaint is that on a day i was not working i went to shop with my family. I bought a "5.00" cassette radio walkman. It said 5.00 and there was alot of them. So i paid for it and went home, two days later when i was going through my receipts for the week, I noticed that the price for the walkman was 9.99 not 5.00, so I took it the receipt and took it to service desk for a refund, they said I can't have it because the walkmans were in the wrong place. I told them that was the workers fault not mine and I still didn't get my money because I was an employee. Another time i got charge twice for men's deorderant when I only bought one. Now instead of waiting till the end of the week to check my receipts I take a extra minute to check it. I bought a pack of cookies last night that was comp shop for 1.88, and walmart's price was 2.50, they had a sign that said 1.88. When it rang out OF COURSE it rang up 2.50 and the clerk called a CSM and she refused to give me the money back and walked away to the podium. I walked to the place of the cookies and ripped the sign off and put it right in her face. And demanded my money back NOW. This CSM doesn't like me b-cuz when I worked there I found 20.00 on the floor folded up and turned it in to her. "thanks for being honest" was all i got. Couple hours later I heard her joking with another CSM as to how she found 20.00 I walked up to her and her other CSM's and told her Isn't it funny how one associate can be honest and the other a thief.

I have a complaint/suggestion for this particular store in Lucedale, MS. Since the store has opened I have left very angry each time I visit and make a suggestion to the cashier to better customer service. My trouble is always a customer service issue. When I visit Walmart I buy for my grandmother, as well as, myself and always have a loaded shopping cart when reaching the checkout line. Rather than the cashier bagging my groceries and putting them in my cart or a spare cart that she should keep at her register, she piles them up on the bag rack and they fall off and she does not once put forth any effort in putting my bags in my cart. So while I am putting items on the belt my groceries are steadily falling off the bag rack b/c the cashier is just plain lazy or doesnt care. I havent decided which.
Also, if there is someone in line behind me and I have paid and still have groceries on the bag rack the cashier will proceed to check out the person behind me and bag their groceries without assisting me in clearing out my groceries on the bag rack which results in bags being mixed up.
My last visit to this Walmart their was a woman in front of me with a loaded cart holding a 12 month old baby while trying to
put bags in her cart and the cashier never
assisted her with this but, instead proceeded to check me out. The woman left very frustrated.
I normally shop at the Walmart in Mobile, AL because this type of service is ridiculous. The Mobile Walmart cashiers keep a shopping cart at their register so, that when the customer reaches the check out line the cashier can put bags in their cart(which she does) while checking the individual out. Then the cart that is left by the customer is used for the next customer and so on. This works VERY well and cuts down on customer frustration. I have suggested this to the Lucedale Walmart several times only for it to never happen. So, Now when I have to go to the Lucedale Walmart which I try to completely avoid, I always take someone with me so, that I dont risk having my groceries fall off the bag rack and break or mixing my items up with another customers items. I live in Lucedale so, making a trip to the Mobile AL Walmart is an inconvenience sometimes but, I would rather take great customer service anyday. I have discovered that my sister in law also will shop at the Mobile Walmart for this same reason and she also lives in Lucedale. I hope that someone here will train there employees better and teach them better customer service skills. Until then I will continue to shop at Walmart in Mobile AL....Thanks

I just wonder if there are any other people out there who are as frustrated and ticked off as I am right now. I took my car into Walmart's Tire Lube Express for an oil change and after that my car started running hot. Well come to find out the guy who did the oil change cracked my radiator, and not only is my radiator messed up now I need a whole new motor b/c when it ran hot it blew the head gasket. Walmarts insurance co. CMI has been such a pain to deal with they took 4 weeks to get me a rental car and then when they got my car in the shop and found out that the motor was blown due to the radiator overheating they are now refusing to pay. I don't know what to do b/c I am a single mom right now and I am also out of work (I had lost my job right before this happened to my car) and I don't have the money to pay to have my car fixed the estimate is like 4500$. This is like pocket change to them so I don't understand why they have to be a pain in the ass about it they KNOW its their fault. The insurance man from CMI even admitted that Walmart had destroyed evidence. But if I take them to court all they will keep it tied up in court FOREVER and I need my car NOW to support my child....WHAT DO I DO??? Anyone w/ any thoughts or suggestions email me @ Cheluvdav@aol.com or call 864-243-0169

Well come to find out the guy who did the oil change cracked my radiator, and not only is my radiator messed up now I need a whole new motor b/c when it ran hot it blew the head gasket. Walmarts insurance co. CMI has been such a pain to deal with they took 4 weeks to get me a rental car and then when they got my car in the shop and found out that the motor was blown due to the radiator overheating they are now refusing to pay. I don't know what to do b/c I am a single mom right now and I am also out of work (I had lost my job right before this happened to my car) and I don't have the money to pay to have my car fixed the estimate is like 4500$. This is like pocket change to them so I don't understand why they have to be a pain in the ass about it they KNOW its their fault. The insurance man from CMI even admitted that Walmart had destroyed evidence. But if I take them to court all they will keep it tied up in court FOREVER and I need my car NOW to support my child....WHAT DO I DO??? Anyone w/ any thoughts or suggestions email me @ Cheluvdav@aol.com or call 864-243-0169

I had a brother that passed away before Christmas. My son works for the Super Wal-Mart in Port Orange, FL. He went with us when we went to Alabama for my brothers funeral. My son thought he was going to get grievece pay. He was told that his Uncle wasn't considered a part of his imadiate family. Yet, Wal-Mart gave someone else grievence pay for a death of a Brother-in-law! My husband had a mini stroke and was transported from the VA Clinic to the hospital. I called my son. My son's wife works for Wal-Mart and in the same department that he does. Well, they were told that it was inconvenient for them both to leave. What would have been the difference if he worked in one department and she worked in another? Both were told they couldn't take those two days off as sick days. Wal-Mart has lost their family attitude. I am one unhappy person right now.

You have a good choice of workers. I know becuase I'm practically In love with one of them.

I am amazed to here all of these complaints we don't have these many problems in our store. The people are friendly and line ups really aren't always that bad no more than three to a line 80% of the time. The employee's that complain are the same people who are constantly late, don't show up for work or call in at least once a week especially on weekends saying they are sick. They also are the same ones that refuse to work when they are there and a small % of them do end up fired. Go Figure!

Yes, I agree strongly with everything that you have said. I worked for walmart for 2 years and they treated me like s*** when they fired me under false pretenses. I stood by and did nothing about it. Just the other day when I tried to see if I could be rehired their job line wouldn't allow me to do so. What can I do to become apart of this lawsuits that are going against walmart?

Hey
Just got my oil changed (or supposedly so) at WalMart in Indianapolis. I ran out of oil in the street. I stopped and immediately put oil in because I carry it in my trunk. When i went to the store the engine was visually torn up. They said there is no way running out of oil could do that and the "manager" of the automotive dept said he was 99% sure this was not their fault. Took it to the dealership to have it looked at. (After getting a note saying driving it to the dealership would not negate their responsibility). It did run out of oil and the engine must be replaced. I go to the store everyday and wait for something to be done, but its not happening. Anyone with a corporate number or advice please give me a call. 317-496-3051
Thanks
Amy

My sister was in Walmart (In Amarillo, TX) today to pick up a few items on her way home to Houston.
While putting her items in her car, her purse was stolen from her basket. There were no security guards in sight, and when she did find one his response was "What do you expect me to do, lady?"
The manager of the Walmart did not offer to call the police; after some coercion he did finally refund her money for the items she had purchased. She had to call me collect. They did not offer her a phone; they did not take her name until we insisted that they do so on the off chance that the purse is found. I told her I had quit shopping at Walmart just because the savings are not worth the hassle. I shop for a few items twice a year; that's my limit. Now I will not shop for even those few items. I have decided that they obviously do not encourage their associates to think for themselves. I have had it with them. She is certainly not going to shop there any more.

I was recently in a slip and fall at Wal-Mart store #5031 in Tucson AZ. I hurt my knee and threw out my back. They told me to go to the doctor and that they would take care of the medical expence. They will not pay for the medical bill. I am the one that is being sent the hospital bill. I keep taking the bill to the store and trying to get the matter resolved over the phone but nothing happens. I have tried to get a lawyer but everyone here is afraid to take Wal-Mart on. I f anyone happens to know of an attorney that has the balls to help me with my case I would appreciate the help.

My car was dropped off for an oil change at the Durham New Hope Commons Wal-Mart Tire & Lube service. The car was damaged during the oil change, the next day it was inspected and thereafter repaired by a certified GM service station in Durham. GM says that the oil pan was cracked at the oil plug, because of inappropriate use of extra force when replacing the oil plug, which resulted in cracking the oil pan at the drain plug.

Wal Mart's Claim Mangement Inc. refused my claim based on the fact, that the frequency of my visit for oil change to Wal-Mart Tire & Lube service was sporadic. The representative also said that the oil leak was a pre-existing condition that they had put on the receipt and I signed it. The real situation is, that I signed an electronic device right after I dropped my car (probably a work authorization something), before servicemen received the keys for the car, and when the damage occurred, they put a statement on the receipt that this oil leak existed already, and transferred my signature on it from the device. This is a very suspicious, moreover illegal way to make service receipts. Therefore it should not be considered any kind of evidence!

The fact that the servicemen nervously rushed to the customer service area and called a manager suggests that the damage happened while they tried to change the oil. They were 100% responsible for what they were doing on the car. So they took advantage of me by putting a statement on the receipt that I was aware of the problem. There was NO problem before I went there for an oil change!

I am considering a class action lawsuit, since I see a lot of people having the same situation. Do anyone have any idea of people who can help us doing this? Or this particular situation? E-mail me, please!

I worked for WalMart for two years and was terminated for the first thing I did wrong I was never given a verbal coaching, written coaching and the termiantion policy was by no means followed according to the way the company writes it in their big thick policy book, that by the way changes from day to day depending on who you are. And guess why I was fired you ready for this? Saying a swear word, That is what one member of management told me upon termination, and then I was told by a higher member of management another reason. Imagine that they really are not sure why they fired me the reason is because they did not fire me for the reason they gave me I believe it is because of my past. Which by the way they hired me knowing about my past because it is on my application. Please tell me how you can justify firing an employee the first time they do something wrong when I only called off once and was never in the office for anything. I was encouraged at the time of my termination to use the open door policy which I did I spoke to a woman who listened to my story told me that someone would get back to me in two business days and at the end of the second business day no one had called me so I called back spoke to someone different who at this time informed me that if you are terminated for using swear words they do not have to call you back. The open door policy is truley a big joke they decide when they talk to you which policy they are going to make up for the day. Family orinated what a joke and if they truley cared about their customers they would staff their stores to accomidate the customers they have to service, doesn't happen and they make excuses on a daily basis on why they do not have enough employees. And if WalMart cared about their employees as much as the care about the all mighty dollar their would be alot more smiling faces from the employees and for once the commericals would be true. Its pretty sad it took a law suit for them to figure out they were not paying competive wages to their people if they truley cared about the employees they would have paid them the wages they deserve, not because they had to due to being sued. WalMart gives people jobs who needs them to take care of their familys and then pays them crap and knows they will stay because they have to inorder to pay their bills and take care of their familys. Jobs are hard to find so you go in everyday and continue to eat the shit they hand out because you need your job. And then they talk about being the most admired company oh boy what a line of bull. Well I,m gonna go cause I said a swear word so once again im fired.

The manager of the Rocky Mount, NC WalMart is one of the most dis-respectful men I have ever had the misfortune of speaking with. When I tried to make a complaint he interupted me several times.
I was shopping at his store around 10pm when my daughter was almost crushed by a pallet of merchandise! The employee operating the hand truck had the smell of alcohol on his breath!!!
I spend around $800.00 monthly in this store, between prescriptions, groceries and household items. Because of this managers uncaring attitude and condecending tone, I will never set foot in a Wal Mart again!!!!!!!!!!!! The manager (Stephan) needs to go back to customer service training!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very impressive...you've got 70 rants, most of them repeated about 3 or 4 times....so, if I'm generous, you're looking at maybe 30 - 40 complaints. Hmmm, not hearing much from the other 1.3 million Walmart employees. The ones at my local Walmart seem to be the happiest employees I've ever encountered. Of course, you Liberal thugs know what's best for everyone, so it's quite clear that these folks are just too stupid to know any better. I'll go back and tell them they have no reason to be happy. Thank God you're there to save them.

The recent attacks on Walmart exactly what I expect from the lunatic Liberal fringe these days. For that faction that loathes corporate America, I've got news for you...corporate America is what this country is about...if you don't like it, my recommendation is to try Cuba or some other third world dictatorship. I'm sure you'll fit in and just love it there. Good luck.

Where do i fine contact for unfair practices of termination of an employee of Walmart Stores Of Florida? Please email me.

I am a handycap with a bad lung so I can't walk very far with out getting short winded. Just about 85% of the time I go in the store in Cleburne, Texas there is about five oer six scooteers with " OUT OF ORDER " on them. When you say anythiong about you get " Well the guy that works on them was here a couple of weeks ago and fixed them ". They must be in realy bad shape for them to be broke down already. I am not the only handycap and needs the scooter. the scooters they have look old and could stand being replaced. Is the handycaps business important? If not say so and I'll take my business else where.....
