I almost never shop there because their prices are higher on some things, like hair dye that I've seen them selling for like 8 bucks. I prefer other grocers - like Trader Joe's, Publix, Kroger, Rite Aid, Walgreens, etc. yeeah.

Of the thousands of transactions that happen each day mistakes are going to be made. I suggest you do as you were taught as a child-count your money.

I'm so glad to hear you finally received the hundred dollars they shorted you. <br/><br/>I don't think Wal-mart trusts their employee's at all. The cashiers can't open their drawers without a manager to even make change. This strikes me as funny since they have spent a fortune for camera's.<br/><br/>Maybe if they paid their workers a decent wage, allowed full-time employee's (instead of only part-time workers), paid benefits, (instead of simply making them "available" to their "associates"), they might find a little more loyality toward the company.<br/><br/>Our local Wal-mart has been "remodeling" for the past couple of months - what a mess. They could have closed down for a couple of weeks and got the job done all at once, instead customers are forced to play hide-n-seek.<br/><br/>I hate shopping there in the first place but sometimes it's necessary. On those occasions, it's been terrible trying to find anything. Several times I simply gave up and went to another store. Our family has begun searching out more local options and avoiding Wal-mart whenever possible. It's been more difficult lately because they recently closed our local Albertson's - one of my favorite stores.<br/><br/>Thanks again for sharing your story. Best wishes in finding alternatives. The more Wal-mart stores that go up, the harder it gets to find shopping alternatives. We find ourselves buying more and more items online. Dear “EX Wal-Mart Shopper,”

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so glad to hear you finally received the hundred dollars they shorted you.

I don’t think Wal-mart trusts their employee’s at all. The cashiers can’t open their drawers without a manager to even make change. This strikes me as funny since they have spent a fortune for camera’s.

Maybe if they paid their workers a decent wage, allowed full-time employee’s (instead of only part-time workers), paid benefits, (instead of simply making them “available” to their “associates”), they might find a little more loyality toward the company.

Our local Wal-mart has been “remodeling” for the past couple of months – what a mess. They could have closed down for a couple of weeks and got the job done all at once, instead customers are forced to play hide-n-seek.

Our family has begun searching out more local options and avoiding Wal-mart whenever possible.

Thanks again for sharing your story. Best wishes in finding alternatives. The more Wal-mart stores that go up, the harder it gets to find shopping alternatives. We find ourselves buying more and more items online.
