This Walmart is a DANGER to elderly shoppers, and the employees have no compassion, for an injured elderly person. But if top management treats its employees as they treated my mother and I, I can see why working at Walmart would make the employees completely oblivious and uncaring to anything around them.
No STARS for the lack of empathy and compassion when my 82 year old mother tripped on their newly polished floor and fell head first cutting herself, hitting her head, elbow and hip.
A customer helped me help her up, my mom was in tears not understanding why she had fell and was in pain. Which was very obvious when the store manager walked back to the scene of the incident by the amount of floor polish that had not been buffed out properly under the sweater rack causing a tripping hazard.
My mom's wrist was bleeding and I asked the closest employee if she could help us and get a towel or bandaid. She rolled her eyes, and then proceeded to receiving where she disappeared for quite a few minutes where I waited until other employees looked annoyed that I was standing there and asked me if I needed something. I told them my mom had fell and I had asked for a bandaid and towel to stop the bleeding. Again, no empathy. I finally asked to speak to a manager. How hard is it to find a first aid kit in Walmart?!!! The manager came out. I told him I needed a bandaid and at this point I want to make a report as well. He then disappeared for quite a few minutes. Walmart How do you not have a first aid kit readily available in receiving?!!!!
My mother continued her shopping because we were in a time crunch so that I could catch a flight. I asked 2 associates hanging out by the vacuums to please unlock the cabinet so we could buy a vacuum, employee seemed annoyed that I needed help. I also told her I needed a bandaid that the store manager had disappeared when he was trying to get me one. Finally got a band aid, an ice pack and took a report.
I was asked if I have a lawyer? NO I don't have a lawyer! What kind of question is that m?!!! My mother is injured, no I don't have a lawyer on speed dial!!!
The next morning Walmarts lawyer contacts me and tells me "he has video footage of my mom tripping over my foot, and that I might I not know it happened though because my back was turned to her"
how is that even possible? I was at least 5 feet away from my mom when I heard a thud and looked back to see her laying in the floor.
I ask to see the video, and he refused to send it to me, telling me he would be mailing me that the case was closed. Why won't you show me the video if it's NOT YOUR FAULT?
Walmart does not care about its employees, or its customers plain and simple. And your lawyer is a typical prick.
I will never shop at Walmart again and make sure they the 1000's of dollars I spend for my 2 businesses and family go anywhere else, and I will make sure this is shared with every one I know.
Enjoy your shopping experience in a Dangerous environment where you have to do all the work yourself from finding a cart to checking yourself out. Walmart you are worthless. read more
