Walmart

There used to be a time when Walmart was AMAZING. I would always say it was better than going to Nordstroms or some other fancy store. Not so much anymore.

One of the MAIN problems is Walmart DOES NOT allow anyone to compliment their employees. Back when Walmart was amazing and fantastic, I remember spending hours and hours writing several compliments about individual employees at one time or another.

I would email them or snail mail the compliments to District Managers or to Corporate hoping to get the compliment into someone's hands who would at the very least tell the employee they got a kudos from a customer. But each and EVERY time (upon my revisit) I would ask the employee if they were told of my letter. Each and EVERY time I was told they had heard nothing of it.

After a while I just gave up and stopped writing kudos. It was a waste of my time. I guess the REALLY outstanding employees just felt it was also a waste of their time too. Most of them over the years have moved on. I don't see them in Walmart anymore. The few I still see around have changed. Oh they still do their jobs... but there isn't that extra going out of the way for the customer anymore.

Maybe this is what Walmart wanted in the first place. Maybe Walmart wanted them to be more like robots that just do their jobs and shut up. But, I miss the days when I would feel special just by going to Walmart.

I used to go there with any extra cash I had and buy all my items there. I would go there and buy stuff when I didn't need anything at all. I just liked going. It was a fun experience.

Now, I only go to Walmart for the necessities. I spend my fun cash at Best Buy and Ashley's Furnature and now online at SammyDress and Alex NLD. In the past, Walmart would have gotten every penny because, at that time, my family and I didn't shop anyplace else... ever.

I learned a long time ago that people are not always motivated by money. A LOT of people are motivated by appreciation. If Walmart top brass could have passed on the compliments from me and other customers, I believe it would still be the awesome place it once was. Now it is just ehhh OK and that is a darn shame.

After MONTHS of playing Walmart's release game for the X Box Series X, I finally won! They took forever to ship it! And when they did, they went with a second-rate shipping company... Needless to say, it was Lasership, a company KNOWN for "losing" "not delivering" and "stealing" packages. Needless to say, I never saw my X Box! As soon as Lasership got their sticky paws on it, it was immediately marked "Lost" (Yeah I bet it was!) Wal-Mart refused to replace my X Box stating "Microsoft" Wouldn't allow it! Even during the MONTHS, I have been fighting for a replacement they had at least 3 releases of X Boxes! I was informed, yeah we have them, we just can't give one to you even though you purchased it and we messed up... What kind of MESS is that?!?! You have what I ordered but refused to replace it! I was offered a Playstation... But this was not what I purchased, if I wanted a Playstation I would have brought a Playstation and I'm sure this rant would be about a Playstation... But NO! I brought an X Box Series X! Give me what you owe! They basically said f-off we not giving you the item you sat up months trying to buy and playing this release game for! They gave me funky $#*! $50 thinking it would make me go away quietly! WRONG! I don't need your funky $#*! $50 CLEARLY I just paid 500.00 for a gaming system you refuse to replace. A gaming system I'm sure has been placed back on your website for $1,000+. CROOKS! O and this offer came MONTHSSSSSS after trying to go through customer service, who was absolute of NO HELP! Those agents are liars and useless! Trust me you aren't getting their real names if you are taking notes. I write everything and everyone I speak to down, so I found it beyond funny that I was given names like Lynn and Lisa only to get a survey asking me how my chat with LoveJoy went... WHO? YEP! CROOKS CROOKS CROOKS don't waste your time with the X Box BS it's all for show! And for NOT!

FRISK ME AT THE DOOR AS IF I WERE A CRIMINAL YET I HAD JUST LEFT THE CASH REGISTER RIGHT NEXT TO THE GREETER WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GOING TO COSCO
