INCREDIBLY ARROGANT MANAGERS
I just went back to the WALMART to return the fourth appliance in a row that broke within 3 weeks. I bought a blender for my vacation and it broke THAT NIGHT -WITHIN LESS THAN A HALF OF AN HOUR! IT WAS SMOKING and could have easily caused a fire.
I wish I could say that was my first bad experience buying appliances at Walmart; but sadly, it has been the same over the last three years. I WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER shop for appliances at WALMART again. Less than three years ago, I bought a Mr. Coffee
for approximately $29.99. It was a pretty good deal, or so I thought. It broke in a month. I thought that was an isolated incident, so I just went on Amazon and purchased a Mr. Coffee for a little bit less, same model. Then, my wife, my girlfriend at the time, gave me her Mr. Coffee, which she had had for five years, and it was the red one -which is a better model. I gave that to a friend, and bought another one for $15 at Walmart, and I don't why but it only worked if you put the carafe on an angle, lol - but I thought what can I expect for $15? After that one broke, I bought the expensive, red Mr. Coffee, again at Walmart. It broke within THREE WEEKS. I was STUNNED! I don't have time to keep going back to Walmart to return purchases that are broken or get broken within three weeks. - at least, that is my theory; I have no proof of that. When I did get around to returning My Third Appliance in a row, about two weeks later, because I had lost the receipt, they would NOT take it back! The woman who works at the return apartment, Rayanna, was very nice and cordial;, but because the coffee maker that I bought at Walmart was broken, she had to call her manager, Marie, over -who was NOT NICE. She refused to take back the Mr. Coffee coffee maker, the one that had broken INCREDIBLY after only THREE WEEKS- then her manager, Jon, whom she had already prepped, also refused to take it back. I could tell that she was not going to take back the coffee machine, because she already had an angry, disgusted look on face: as though we were wasting her time. Both she and her manager were incredibly ARROGANT, RUDE, and CONDESCENDING. So my wife and I left the store and will be calling corporate tomorrow, and the Mr. coffee company so that no one else gets TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF in this way! My point is to WARN any potential customers of the White Marsh Walmart to NEVER, EVER buy any appliance from White Marsh Walmart, because it WILL BREAK within a few months, and really who saves receipts for that long. They know this and they take advantage of it -it's a SCAM! and if you try to return it, and they are there, you will be treated HORRIBLY. read more
