I purchased a 22` X 52`` Ultra XTR Frame Pool from walmart.com part number 571444331 on sale for $205.75 marked down from $257.19. shipped to the store, when it arrived it plainly says box 2 of 3, it included the frame, cover and maintenance kit. When I asked where the rest of the pool was they said that was all that was included. When I called Walmart.com I spoke to 3 polite people but they said that the listing was for the frame only and not the entire pool. One finally admitted it was human error and then said site error, but she could not send the rest of the pool. They offered to give me my money back but not honor the original description. I am unsure what to do next but I feel this is deceptive business practice.

Customer: I’m looking for (pause) hairball.

Me: I’m sorry?

Customer: I can’t find a hairball.

Me: Hairball treatment? For a cat?

Customer: (Looks uncertain, turns back to shelf, grabs hairball reducing cat treats) Oh, there it is!

Me: Awesome! Have a great day! (Dies a bit inside)

Want to know the real truth about Walmart? Ask me anything and I will tell you everything I know. No secrets here. Fuck walmart and their shady ways!!

So, obviously Walmart is on the kick with the self checkouts, and for the most part in cool with it. When they first started, I always referenced a popular Bill Burr skit about corporations and self check outs. Here's the link for those interested https://youtu.be/FxINJzqzn4w

But now... now they have this person waiting by the door to check your receipt. And when I get done already waiting in line to buy my shit, now I have to wait in line again for someone to verify? Nah, I just walk out.

Example- I went to buy dog food which should have been a quick in and out. I wait to use a register, I get my 1 item rang up, then I get to wait in line again as all these people are waiting to have this person check their reciept. I walk past the line and flash my reciept. She stops what shes doing, holds the rest of the line up to verify my purchase and is adamant about checking. I have 1 item... and 1 receipt.... seems pretty clear I bought my shit. You dont have to verify my purchase and I dont think anything anywhere states I'm obligated to do so. Dont treat me as as a suspected thief when you literally watched me come from the self checkout line.

I understand that some people may ring up a pack of gum and try to walk out with a 70 inch tv. Ok, that's the price you pay when you give them the power to ring up their own shit. I'm not waiting in line twice cuz you dont want to pay for register clerks

What the damn diggity is walmart doing???!

So I go to get a bandaid at my store, and what do I see on the wrapper? A frickin walmart spark logo, then I open it up and it's all over the bandaid too!! !REALLY ?? HOW MUCH DID THE ASSOCIATES PAY FOR THAT ??!!! WHAT STUPIDITY, INVEST IN TOUR EMPLOYEES NOT YOUR LOGO ON A BANDAID !!! IDIOTS !!!!

DISCLAIMER: This is not my own story, a friend I worked with at Walmart about two years ago told me this story. I do not how much of this is true.

So my coworker (Let's call him Jeff) told me about how he used to be a cashier, but got demoted to cart grabber about nine years ago (seven years before this story). He said it involved a customer that annoyed him. Here's what happened:

Jeff was running the only register they had open that night (I think he said it was #6? When I was there it was always #6. Doesn't really matter, tbh), when this lady came to the register with a case of beer. He scanned the case, and asked her for ID. She nodded, and said "Si. Si." but didn't reach for purse, wallet, pocket, nothing. He asked again, "Si. Si." A nod, but no reach. Six or seven more times this repeats before Jeff gets tired of this, so, just for his own amusement, he looks at her, holds out his hand, and says, with a goofy accent [he didn't say goofy accent, I'm adding that for comedic effect], "Papers?" The woman bolted from the store, and nobody there ever saw her again. She didn't, however, get out without Management seeing what happened, so Jeff got put on cart duty and left there for seven years before I came along. And that's about it. I sometimes tell the story to my coworkers at my job I'm at now, and even my new managers find that funny, even if they wouldn't allow it there. Nothing overly ridiculous, but noteworthy nonetheless.

A few years back I worked at Walmart as a cap team 2 worker. I worked 2-11 as a temp for the summer. One night while stocking cosmetics an old creepy looking lady came up to me asking where the perfume section is. No big deal I thought so I go over a few isles and help her find what she was looking for. As I was about to leave she stops me and asks me if I can help her pick out perfume. I at the time was a 19 year old male college student who knew nothing about perfume but I did my best trying to be polite. As she was looking over the various bottles her responses are what made it hard to keep it together. First she asked me if one of the bottles was for little girls because of the image of a random dude on it. She talks about how she wants a perfume that won’t attract bears while she runs in the forest when she can’t sleep. I am trying not to lose my shit at this point and then she ends with the icing on the cake. She tells me my name is weird, it’s Dillon, and she said she had a baby in a town with my name. She ended up leaving and I went back to stocking. It was by far one of the weirdest experiences I had with a customer at any of my jobs.

Oh boy is this one a doozie... Yo, its ya boi, Freezer Boi here to hit you with another story time. So its about 7 or 8, its pretty dead over in my department so I’m just walking around, zoning, talking to some of buddies in the meat department. Life is good. See, at my wal-mart we entire refrigerator wall is dedicated to cheese. Im like alll the way on the other side of my department kind of near where the deli is. And there’s this man walking over and just observing the array of cheese we have on the shelves. This man is prolly 6’7 / 6’8 balding (but that skullet game is strong) and wearing a long beige trench coat🧥. Little sketch but i mean my wal mart is LITERALLY—i kid you not— across the street from a mental ward (an asylum basically) so yeah, we get some strange characters. I kid you not... this man, this lengthy, trench coat wearing motherf*cker unties his coat, checks to see if no one is around, and exposes himself to none other than the beautiful, illustrious array of cheese. Seriously we got men showing their pee pee to CHEESE! WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK DUDE!? The cheese dont want to see none of that. I had to stock all that cheese off the shelf, take it all back into the milk cooler and sit down with each package individually and give them my comfort and therapy so they could cope with what had just transpired. Just an update: the cheese is going through extensive therapy and right now they’re doing pretty well but its hard for them to keep their spirits up. They’re starting to overcome some of their trauma. If you want to support please donate to the CheesesWithPTSD foundation. We’d really appreciate it. Thank everyone so much and have a blessed day❤️

What a young, hopeful freezer boy I was. With a youthful gleam in my eye I walked out of the office, just finished the last of my computer work and it was time to get started at my knew occupation: “Dairy Guy”. So I’m doing my duties just trying to get a feel for my new area. I walk into the back to head into the freezer and a group is compiled around. An A.M is talking to a girl who works in OGP while others are listening in on the conversation. Apparently, the girl was grabbed by a man she described as only having 3 fingers, his face was slouched over like it had been melted off, and to top it off he was wearing a fedora. The A.M went to go find the guy but I don’t think he ever did anything about it (NOTE: its been 6 months since that incident and i see the guy matching that description come in almost all the time. He never buys anything. He just walks around like he’s looking for someone—probably her.) After that little tid bit, I meet up with my department manager and hes showing me the ropes, how to “properly” stock milk for all the lord’s customers to partake from. As he’s talking to me, he’s interrupted by an elderly man wheeling himself around in a wheelchair (he was missing both legs). He asks my department manager to help him reach something off the shelf. My DM helps the man, then the gentlemen starts taking him across the store and having him pick up every item he’s trying to buy and but them in his basket. After i think 15 minutes my DM comes back to our section and we continue our dialogue. During the convo he interrupts himself. He’s listening in on the ear piece and filling me in on what’s going down. So the man he was just helping had some sort of mental issue. He became confused about where he was, instead of being at wal mart he thought he was at his care facility. So, he goes over to the apparel section, takes a huge shit in his diaper and is demanding an associate change his dirty diaper in the middle of the store. I believe the owner of the store had to call his care takers because he clearly was confused about where he was. Prayers be with him. But that wasn’t the end of my first 8-5 at ole wally world. So its the end of my shift and im talking with the people lead about getting my schedule for the next three weeks. Like all the AMs and DMs, he has an ear piece. He had taken his off while hes sitting at his computer and he has the volume turned up to he can still hear whats being said. An AM reports that customers told him they witnessed some dude bitch slap his wife in front of his own children. The police were notified and I have no clue what happened after that. But he did it on the toy isle. ON THE TOY ISLE!!! So yeah thank for coming to my ted talk and please comment your crazy work stories (doesn’t have to be wal mart) Thank youuuuu have a good night peeps.

So I work in the Dairy department and I’m minding my own business stocking some cheese and out of the corner of my eye i see an older black man and his wife slowly walking in my direction just shopping. Suddenly the guy jumps and yells “GOD DAMNNN” I turn to look at him thinking something was about to go down but the guy is just holding his nose while his wife is quickly walking away from him. He notices I’m looking at them and says “You smell dat?” And i say no. “Damn my wife must’ve ate something BAD” Then, from behind me, i hear his wife cry out from all the way down the isle “That wasnt me, THAT WAS HIM!” Her husband looks at me and asks “wuz that choo? Dont lie to me!” In my head im thinking “dude im just trying to stock some fucking cheese” but no, i must tell this man that his wife is the one who cut the cheese and im just stocking the cheese. “No that wasnt me” i reply. “Okay den!” He says. And then him and his wife just continue shopping.

Attempted to enter my local WM (with a cart from a cart corral near where I parked) and had to stop to let THREE WM management staff (walking side by side) walk out of the entrance side. I know they were Management staff because they were griping about having to do management tasks.

Went to walmart in Kansas City Mo and saw a big pile of shit in the chip aisle.

Im a cashier in California and I am super annoyed with this reusable bag fee. There are a handful of scenario that makes it beyond irritating, but my all time favorite is:

Me: hello do you need to purchase any bags today

Customer: no thats okay

*completes transaction

Customer: oh i don't get a bag

Me: (talking shit in my head) you said you didn't need a bag ma'am, but if you need one it's $0.10.

Customer: oh they aren't free

Me: no they're not (only free for people paying with SNAP/WIC benefits)

CUSTOMER: oh no .10 never mind

Just to clarify im a cashier in cosmetics and the customer only bought 2 tubes of lipstick, which she could've just easy put in her purse. I don't know why some customers feel that they need a bag to exit the store.

Does anyone else feel like Walmart induces pooping? My gfs mom has to poop every time she enters a Walmart.

I'm at a Walmart near the entrance charging my phone and shit, this guy who looks like he does crack walks up and gives me a fucking mini Bible.. bitch I'm atheist, wth am I supposed to do with this bible now?

If you’ve ever been working at Walmart and thought to yourself yeah but WHAT KIND OF SKIN! You may be working break packs.

I work in Walmart and a woman tried to hand me her chewed up, discolored spin brush head today to identify and find refills. Lady, I will do a lot of thing for a paycheck, catching your diseases is not one of them. If you can’t read the information because you chewed it off, I am not responsible for deciphering it for you.

My fiancé and I were in Walmart a few months back, and as we were walking towards the back of the store, I happened to glance to my right, and saw a couple walking close to us. Well, as they moved, I noticed a live turkey just sitting in their buggie. I honestly was confused as to why there was a live turkey IN WALMART. Weirdest thing I've seen by far in Walmart.

Ok so I work in fresh cap1 at walmart. When I first started, they started me off in seafood and then by 9pm or 10pm we'll go to bakery or another department on our side. Lately they'll have everyone in produce til they get done and then they'll have me in meat by myself doing the capping, labeling meat, and running the meat. The problem I have is they assign the best workers the toughest jobs while others just stock fruit or fish. Then I put in for a management position and they just ignored me. They keep promoting their buddies, it's almost like a little fraternity organization. Then they make us do what others is supposed to do instead of reprimanded them for it. For example, if someone from the day before doesn't put labels on something or fails to clean up then we are responsible for it. My manager yelled at me today because someone keeps putting claims, which is old meat, on the good carts. Again, this is a daily thing. And everything is timed. So you got to do your job and someone else's job that they didn't do before you leave. Keep in mind everyone knows their duties. Is it like this at all walmarts?

My friend and I stole a chapstick from Walmart. We took it out of the box and left the box on a shelf because my friend said that the barcode would set off the alarm at the door. We’re worried that when they find the empty box they’ll look at the cameras and see us. We were both wearing our hockey jackets that had our last names on the back. We’re scared help!

I'm astonished at the amount of loss our store sees on a daily basis. I see the same 2 women several times a week. I always notify someone. They fill up their carts with as much shit as they can and just wait for the greeter to leave their post. Then out they go. Sometimes they'll just flip off the greeter and leave anyway. Greeter can't do anything but walkie talkie management and by then they're gone. Yesterday is was 2 carts full of comforter sets (the $100 king size fancy ones), dishes, toys, over flowing and right out the door. I don't get it at ALL. These 2 women have stolen thousands of dollars worth of merch and nobody does anything. And it's not just them. Being Florida we obvi have dopers who steal and try to return stuff (yes dopers are everywhere but Florida is a special kind of crazy) We see them. We report them. Nothing happens! Yesterday a 'regular' tried to return several brand new backpacks w/o a receipt. CS ran a reverse search on items and told him they had not been purchased in our store for at least 6 months (I didn't know they did that) so guy had to figure out what store they were purchased from and return them there. His argument 'they were gifts' went nowhere. My sons friend has 2 crackhead parents who were finally tresspassed after 10 years of doing this!! They made BANK to support their drug habits. So mom shaved her head and gained weight while dad grew out a full face of hair and lost 50lbs. They're unrecognizable (except to me of course) and right back at it. Now I just laugh when I see them bc what difference does it make? I thought the OGP theft system was brave. This is just on a different level. I don't even have milk until payday. I should give them a list lol Can anyone relate??

This one's pretty short but some teenager from the highschool a few blocks away from our store, came in to goof around and make our lives miserable like they always do whenever there's a football game at the school.

As he's going through the meat department though, he takes a pen he had in his pocket and stabs holes in so much of our meat that we ended up throwing away aroynd $1200 worth of it

I've got a boatload of Walmart horror stories so stay tuned

So while I was zoning toys (around the 'precool' section) I noticed a really awful smell but couldn't find the source.

I asked the Lawn and Garden DM what it was and he said it's probably just the new hoses they placed on the other side so I try to ignore it for a while until I move some toys over to see if I needed to downstock anything and there's two packages of meat rotten so terribly I gag.

It was covered in white and black mold, there were maggots all over it, there was some gross juice coming off of it, and when I poked it with my box cutter there was slime causing it to lightly stick to the surface of the shelf and a bunch of flies started panicking.

I call the Lawn and Garden DM back over and show him and he immediately vomits on the floor and says he's not dealing with this, that I have to stay there and he'll get maintenance.

So I have to stand on one end of the isle while Peter from Lawn and Garden stands on the other end keepung customers away from there till maintenance gets there.

They threw away the whole shelf and a bunch of toys that had mold on the packages after seeing it (idk who told them to do that but whatever), and I go back to work.

So I’m new to this subreddit, I’ve worked at Walmart for a total of a year and I’d like to share with you all the story of a pretty good shoplifter. So Sunday morning around 8 am is a slow hour for my Walmart. Not only do we have shift changes around that time and managers come in at 8:30 so the cameras that do work aren’t checked as often. I am in Cap 1 and work strictly GM.

Today I happened to be in the toy department. I had about 5 pallets out on the floor and 2 more in the back. Our cap 2 associates have been having a rough time with being overworked these past few months with the new changes in our job descriptions and sometimes I get electronics and pop figures on my pallets. I ended up getting a box of printer ink and went to put it in it’s correct location.

The printer ink had been placed in the same isle as the PlayStation merchandise and accessories. I see a man looking around there and of course being a Walmart employee I don’t give a shit as long as you don’t bother me, so I go about my own business. I get done putting up the box of ink and pack up the rest and low and behold I find this fucker grabbing a PS4 and shoving it in a Walmart tote. Firstly how the hell did this dude get the lock open so quick. It probably wasn’t even 4 minutes that I was sitting there. Guy walks away and I walk over to the electronics people and let them know what just happened. He’s stunned, I’m stunned, the key is jingling on his belt loop, and the overnight manager who was just about to leave is freaking out.

He was an average white dude, had a clean face and buzzed hair i think it might have been brown, and wore blue jeans and a white shirt. Nothing about this guy stood out. And no one could find him. This guy just walked with a brand spankin new PS4

The funny part is I saw him again today while I was at work and no one but I know who this man is.

Okay so.. I just saw that there’s this community on reddit about Walmart experiences so I thought I would share mine, so.... I’ve been with Walmart for almost a year now, I was the first to be hired out of the bunch that got hired later on, so I guess you can say I know Walmart pretty well for the time I’ve been here, the thing with my Walmart is that it’s a new store it just got built back in 2015 and it’s mostly nice looking, spacious, clean etc...... I would say that it’s nicest store in the area, the other closest one is not very popular, people say it’s ghetto and I don’t blame them, it’s not in a very good area, anyway.. my stores’ management it’s not to bad, i mean i can’t say I have a problem with management, except this one support manager who was really disrespectful to me and my co-workers, I almost took her to corporate but I guess you can say management had a “talk with her”, she left store after a couple of months of being here to become assistant manager to another store and god I feel pity for that store!!, it must be a living hell with that lady running it!, I work in electronics and in my opinion is that there isn’t another chill position as that one, it’s mostly zoning, doing mods, doing the inventory book, the audit, doing the photo orders, of course helping out the annoying/ without patience customers! And doing the freight, because my department is not to big we don’t get as much freight as other departments do, but the thing with me and my co-workers and also the thing that I hate about my store , is that I get pulled to other departments to do their freight, and it’s a constant thing!!, from what I heard, management doesn’t have any associates over night to work the freight for any departments at all! All the over night associates have to be focused on the grocery area of the store, and so when we come in the morning we can’t get anything done Bc we have to do their freight, I never get to meet my deadlines specially if my department is busy because I gotta run back and forth to help out here and there and come back, I don’t find it fair because only me and the other electronics associates take care of our department no other associates do, but we have to help out with everyone else’s work, like wtf?? And so my question is... why don’t they hire more associates for the positions they need to fill up?? My Walmart hires people as crazy!! Almost every time I see new associates coming in.. and they get hired for positions they don’t need, positions that are over-filled!! Things like: even more cashiers, even more door hosts, even more sales associate that don’t even do their own work, even more maintenance people, and even more electronics associates!! Just in my department there are 11 associates! And places like sporting goods only have 1 department manager and 1 associate, how does that make sense??, why instead of hiring more electronics associates they don’t hire more cap 1, cap 2 associates to help with the freight, why not hire more sporting goods associates? More housewares, stationary, toys, garden, etc... (don’t get me wrong, I love when you get to see someone new come in and you help them and show them around and train them), but I don’t think it’s necessary to have more associates for the same department, and to be pulled out of your department almost everyday!! lmao but I guess that’s how Walmart works, or does it? Does your Walmart work the same as mine do???

Ps; why doesn’t Walmart get rid of those slow ass mc40s??? Like for tc70s for everyone!!!

I just quit my local Walmart after being a loyal employee after 3 and a half years. Because I am physically disabled I was a people greeter until the greedy corporate got rid of the job nationwide I was FURIOUS. Enter a month later I was moved to electronics/photo and I was pretty sure I could do the job so I was lifting product on the shelf and instantly went down I blew my back out. I informed management that I would be out for a week while I heal came back got out of my transport vehicle and guess what I went down again ON THEIR PROPERTY. So I just went home so I came back in the next day boom instant occurrence I am STEAMED at this point so I just go about my business now my supervisor wanted me to lift TVS and put them on display WITH ONE GOOD HAND!!!! So long story short I met with management and basically called them out on the bullshit and gave my 2 weeks yesterday was my last day

May never SHOP there again cause they are SPAWNS OF SATAN!!!!! They are the very definition of the word Corrupt FUCK WALMART

One time I went to Walmart to grab some drink for my family. I pull into the parking lot and see a guy sprint out of the store try and jump over a bush but he completely just fell in the bush. I walk in to the Walmart and see a 12 pack just shattered on the floor and instantly knew what had happened. That’s when I realized... I shouldn’t go to Walmart anymore.

This happen last month but it still kinda gets to me. So my fiancee, her mom, and I were all at Walmart buying clothes for a baby shower as well as for my fiancee. Just like most men, I got bored and wondered off. I messed around for what felt like 30-40 minutes, looking at tires, video games, automotive section, etc. I decided to go up to the front check out to see if I can catch my fiancee and her mom coming up to the check out or something (yeah I had my phone but I felt like waiting for them to finish). That's when a big guy comes along and start asking me "Why am I following them?". I was really confused by this because as I mentioned, I was just wondering around. I replied back that I wasn't following anyone, that I was just wondering around. That's when he said bullshit I was watching you you following me and my kids around and we were going in and out isles to hide from you. I just replied back that I didn't even notice them. He wasn't having it, that's when he started to threaten me by calling the manager. No big whoop, I told him do it, but then he added that he will have them call the cops on me. Now at this point, I was started to get anxiety ( I know I did nothing wrong, but I don't like confrontation and get anxiety like crazy in situations like this.), I am a dark skinned man with a midsized beard vs a Caucasian man with young kids. I was pretty certain that they will listen to a man with kids more then a dark skin guy , who seemed to be all by himself ( imagine Aziz in parks and rec). The guy left to go do that and I decided to leave and meet up with my fiancee and her mom so I can have people defending me when shit goes down. Thankfully the cops didn't show up, it was just the manager. He asked questions like was I with my fiancee and her mom and what was my business doing here. I replied politely as possible with the manager, but lost my temper a bit with the father. He was shouting at me at that point, calling me a liar and such and such. Thankfully my soon to be mother in law told me to calm down (I would have definitely had a screaming match with the guy if she didn't say anything). We had to walk away from the situation while another employee watched us. They wrung us out and we went our way. Thankfully it ended right there and didn't escalated farther then that.
