I was so thrilled when Walmart opened in my neighborhood (Tacoma, WA). However, it's been a constant frustration to buy my grocery items consistently at Walmart. For six weeks in a row, I purchased Coke 12-packs that were labeled $4.18 on the shelf. Yet, the register rang it up as $4.88. Each week I told the checker, and was promised that management would be notified. I even talked to an assistant manager myself, who promised he would rectify the pricing error. Nothing has ever changed.
Items are consistently out of stock. When I've asked Walmart staff about it, they say that stocking is up to the vendors. My viewpoint is that I'm not a customer of the vendor. I'm a Walmart customer. I give my grocery money to Walmart; and they should bear the responsibility to stock consistently the items I need.
