Before anyone reads the following review and says 'what do you expect? Its Walmart. Its the Monday after Christmas.' Just stop. If you owned a business, you would NOT tolerate the following behavior from your employees.
First off. Regardless of what silly American holiday it is, if your billion dollar business is open the day after a major American Holiday, you should staff your store accordingly. While the store didn't "seem" busy, they only had 3 staffed registers open. Whilst waiting in two of these lines for a good ten minutes each, we finally decided to go to self check out with a cart full of items, at least 150 dollars worth.
The older woman who is paid to be helpful in the self check out area was flighty and rude, walking away when we asked for help and basically ignoring us. She came off like she didn't even care to be there, I get it. You're about to die and you have to work at Walmart. Someone of her age shouldn't be working such a busy area. Im not an agiest, I think businesses need to staff their establishments with people who can handle the customers. Clearly this woman could not.
After the 4th time the older woman had to come over to slide her card to get the register to work, we asked for help from the dude wearing the giant sash that says "customer service manager", who was ill kept, with stringy long hair, not tied back. When we politely said 'excuse me' to ask a question, this man replied rudely with 'YOU'RE EXCUSED.' Zero eye contact.
That's cute. That may work on the playground when you're 12, but when you're the CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER at a billion dollar store, that is not proper homie!
When we tried to continue, the CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER, shooed us away back to our register stating 'She (old woman on her death bed) will be with you in a minute.'
So we left. Left 150 bucks worth of product in our shopping cart.
We normally shop at the other Walmart in Loveland. We wanted to give this one a shot, but after this experience, we wont be going back.
We did speak with the manager on hand, got the corporate number to complain to them as well. Nothing will change obviously. That stringy haired "customer service manager" will still work there, he'll just be moved to a different department. The old woman who should be enjoying retirement will still be put in places she can't handle.
But what should I expect? Its Walmart right? read more
