In the store, the aisles are so crowded that obese and hygiene-challenged customers run into you while their children run around and scream. You finally find what you need with no help from an employee. You try to check out and wait in line while the cashier chats up a friend. Then, as noted before, an old guy at the exit checks your cart. Ugh. Never again.

After paying the cashier your hard earned money, you’re then stopped at the door by the door lady wanting to see your receipt and checking your cart for contraband. Then you go to your car feeling that you just paid Wall-Mart to treat you like a petty thief. Sad to say but you missed a step in your How to shop at Wall-Mart.

On November 13, 2008, I placed an order online to purchase a Nintendo Wii bundle that had everything I desired for the price of $499 (Customer Choice Bundle). After the order was placed, it was cancelled without ANY notification that there was any problem. I did NOT receive any notification when placing the order that something did not match and I did NOT receive an email later saying there was a problem. Over a week later when I went to view the shipping arrival dates, since there had been ZERO communication, I discover it was cancelled the same day of placement. Again, I had NO notice. That was order no. 2677399505216. I tried to purchase the system again, but that bundle was NO longer available. I found one that was NOT as good and tried again. Since the Discover order had been cancelled, I used my Visa card. on November 25, 2008, the date I discovered through my own means since there was NO notification, that the original order was cancelled. Guess what happened - it was cancelled but again secretly. I get no warning when placing the order and NO emails letting me know. I go back and look - cancelled. So I talk with a warm body on line and try again,. You can guess -- the same thing happened. It tells us both that the order is processing then over 30 minutes later cancels it. I in the mean time had verified ALL credit info in your system AND tried a VISA card thinking maybe Discover had a problem. I also called Discover who acknowledged that there was a pending authorization and that all was GOOD on their end. They verified that I had PLENTY OF $9000 credit available and that there was NO problem on their end. To mitigate the damages created, I also went to Amazon and placed an order using that same Discover and you know what happened? Amazon AND the third party vendor selling part of the package had NO problem. I have part of the order already sitting in my office. So what is the problem? 1. Failure of Wal-Mart to notify of cancellation to allow customer to find alternate product. 2. Suggestion MORE than once by customer service personnel that the transaction WOULD work if I just used a Wal-Mart card. Someone, I think that is dishonest 3. Replacement of the bundle was NOT possible and the bundle purchased cost $300 more in order to come close to the bundle first offered at Wal-Mart. 4. Failure to provide customer with THEIR own credit information - I get answers that "some part of your credit information did not pass our system" but "we cannot tell you what or why." So you deny my card, suggest I use YOUR card and then keep secret the reason why??????????????????????? Walmart has HORRIBLE online shopping and DECEPTIVE PRACTICES.
