10 HUGE MISTAKES Everyone Makes Shopping at Walmart 

haha Your "Canadianism" you're too cute

Nothing at Walmart not a fan of the store.

Cat food.

Chips. Hands down the cheapest!

Laptops

@@applicationuser9764 that's way too much effort when I can just go to Amazon and buy the product. Gotta figure out the phone number, gotta deal with the automated telephone machine, gotta deal with the manager, then you gotta deal being guilt tripped into asking for help when none of this should've happen to begin with and is not your fault at all. Fact the manager comes with an attitude is absolutely appalling to me. Like you guys decided to put the glass up, take accountability for your decision to do so. Either hire more people to handle it quicker, or do it yourself. Likely a superior product too, since they actually cycle through products unlike these products that stay behind glass for months. I bought a battery operated device from Walmart behind glass. It died after a month. Bought same product off Amazon, it's still running perfectly fine for over a year now. 🤷‍♂️

@@applicationuser9764 LOL In our store the person picking up the phone is me. because I am very hard of hearing and management will not upgrade the phones in my area so do not ring.

Just don't patronize the joint!

@@SupraKooper Are you serious? Too much effort? How lazy are you?

@@reh3884 Clearly not as lazy as your ass.

My brother was an overnight stocker at Walmart for many years up until his accidental passing away 😢✌️

Walmart is eventually doing away with cashiers and only going to have Self Check Out lanes.

@@tonistrickland9603 Yeah, I heard that too a while back. Fine with me. I don't think I've been to a cashier lane since the first time I did a self checkout about two years ago, and I found it was so much easier than dealing with a cashier who makes like it's chore to bag something separate from everything else. For example, I collect Hot Wheels. When I'm there, I go out of my way to only pick out the cars that don't have damaged retail cards and I place them in the basket or cart in such a manner that nothing else in there can damage them. Plus, lately I've been moving away from their blue card lines, and buying the more premium lines, which cost about 5× as much. I don't know how much you know about it, but to us, package and card presentation and condition is everything. When it's time to check out, I need those cars bagged separately and arranged in such a manner that the cards won't be damaged by the simple act of just picking the bag up. Self check out means they get bagged the way I want it done, plus I'm out of there a lot quicker when I do my own check out. Or maybe I'm not but it just feels like I am! 🤣🤣🤣

thats when you go to the self check out and only scan half your stuff.... talk about bargains!

@@lukewarmwater6412 and get 'help' real quick. I don't like self checking.

@@lynnmoser6918 I love it. no easier way to get free dogfood!

Wow 😳 Shoes! I will open the boxes from now on.

What.. 🤣 WOW

We're they Walmart brand shoes that they sell

Something like that happened to me with some pantyhose, that come in an egg. Bought went to my car zooming out of the parking lot, grabbing the bag so when I would get to work, I would have them in my hands, go straight to the rest room to put on. So when I open it up, we'll it was empty. I had to make a u-turn and go back to the store 😩 I was late for work.

Oh yeah, dock at Value City, same. Most of those crushed boxes are load shift "injuries". The square hole in the toaster oven box is from a forklift. My gripe though, is the morons who don't know how to properly use a box knife. Eye drops, bandages, antiseptic creams, feminine hygiene products and other H&B stuff sliced open during unpackaging. These can't be sold now because there's been a chance of contamination. Ugh.

Walmart changes their model, their methods...all the time. Trucks were being unloaded directly to the floor the last I heard. If they are short-staffed I suppose there can be bottle necks and huge messes as a result. Also, most stores have stockers working when the store is closed for shoppers, but they also have to re-stock and clean as well. It's a horrible job.

@Kurt E. Clothier the one in Santa Clarita does majority of its stocking during store hours

@@annehenry6243 Agree Ugh don' they care? F*** Me

Spot on 💯!!

Most people will wait. So it didn’t cause more people in the store. It’s actually saving money that’s why they do it.

Walmart does this all the time, all over. They intentionally understaff their stores, Walmart is one of the greediest companies on the planet.

I do the same thing!

Great idea :)

Having a different price on the shelf tag and at the register is considered fraudulent, and states will fine the merchant. So after you force the store to honor the posted price, contact the state.

This is one App I’m glad I downloaded. You can never find a working price checker in the stores and rarely an actual person. But the app can price check everything and if you type in the item you’re looking for, it tells you exactly where to find it. I’m glad I watched this video bc I didn’t know you could type “clearance” in your search bar and find deals. That’s always great to know.

Great Idea ❤

inflation

It was rolled back to who knows when...lol.

I always wanted to carry in and post yellow frowning faces pointing out what things used to be. Donuts @$1.44/dozen and fried or roasted whole chicken $2.97 comes to mind.

I remember one time I was trying to get a store clerk oh, and I was waiting and waiting and trying to call over people to help me. So I just started screaming like a maniac "HEY CAN SOMEBODY ASSIST ME!?!?" Over and over. And sure enough three people came to see what I was screaming about. And then they asked me why were you screaming? I told him cuz I was trying to get someone to help me. And the guy literally said to me "that's not how you get somebody's attention." And I schooled him by saying, that's literally the only way I was able to get their attention.

@@joeybaseball7352 "Well, it worked. You're here." I've only done that once in my life. I was in indescribable pain. My friend had driven me to the ER and it had been a long ride. I could not take it anymore and just began to scream. It was not busy and there weren't any doctors or nurses around. But they all came running when they heard me screaming. Turned out they shot me up with the good stuff, turned out it was a kidney stone. LOL

We've found that some of the people are actually too stupid to figure out how to unlock the cases...🧐

i have asked associates walking by for help. i got "thats not my dept" when i ask her to call someone she literally just stared at me for several seconds and just walked off. didn't get anyone just ignored me. when i saw her later in another section i told her thanks for the help..she stated at me again and said 'i told you it wasn't my dept" i knocked over a jar of pasta sauce. glass shards everywhere, pasta sauce everywhere. i sent my daughter to find someone i couldn't leave with it just laying there too many kids in the store. she was gone several minutes. when she came back she said she found one lady who said she would find someone. we waited 15 more minutes. i final called the store on my cell and asked to have someone sent over. took 10 more minutes....no joke timed them on the phone. when the did come they had nothing to clean it up with. they had to leave and send someone else back. 30 minutes waiting to have some one clean a mess that really could have hurt someone. it was ridiculous. i had my 2 younger sons and daughter. try keeping an autistic 3 year old calm for that long as well as a 7 year old. i very rarely ever go in. my husband does the shopping there. my daughter in law refuses to take her family in. she has 4, 1-13 and they are rude to her everytime. the kids are very well behaved. 2 ride the cart and the 13 year pushes the food cart. she looks about 22 and has a harried look about her she is a mom of 4 and my son works out of town. they will look at her like she is trash I've seen it. so she shops at Kroger. they are very nice and accommodating. their produce and meat are way better. this edit is for everyone 5hat thinks i did this on purpose. you are nuts it was later in the visit. it was knocked off because of how the shelf was stacked with other items. i am appalled someone would suggest i act that way...i may not have worded it well but when others clearly see what was said you just want to find fault. i always have to edit after i post because i miss misspelled words... you ppl are ....

@diver dave did that before.

If you are only spending 8$ a week on tips and membership what is the dollar amount are you are ordering. A fifteen percent tip on 35$ is 5.25. With covid we are tipping 20% and that is 60$ on a 300$ order so I just go to the store and pick up.

$4........?

👐🤙🙌👆👏🤏 I agree!

I couldn't agree more! I love his personality. I talk with my hands all the time too. Don't change.

agree

Big facts😂😂😂

Same here That's the way I talk to

I love grocery pickup. Just have to check the items when I get home for any issues.

It's such a blessing! I was partially disabled in a wreck in 2005, and I don't even want to imagine how many thousands of dollars worth of food I have thrown out over the years because, after struggling through the grocery shopping experience, I was too exhausted and my pain level was too high for so many days afterwards, food went bad before I could cook it/ prepare it for eating. Dad's going through cancer treatment now, so we have dozens of appointments each month, and being able to whiz by and pick up groceries for 2 households and get back home while only adding about 7 minutes to our trip is amazing!

Their curbside service is the best bar none! As a senior during the pandemic it's been wonderful to get very fresh fruits, veggies, regular groceries plus tools, paints, crafting supplies . Wonderful employees

I agree, their store pickup is very good. I don't like going inside stores during this pandemic.

@@annmarie4999I like store pickup but my store won't come out and pickup is way in the back.

yeah probaably great for the people putting used stuff in box and returning it too it all makes sense now

Depends on the time of day here. We have the luxury of shopping when most people are working.

@@joeybaseball7352 Shit yeah! Self Checkout + Plandemic = free shit lmao. No one checks receipts because of social distancing. Just scan the cheap items, bag em, stick the other stuff in the bags and walkout lol And to top it off you're wearing a mask. Besides fuck China, they own everything and prices keep going up but they want you to go back and work for pocket change; fuck that!. I'm not a socialist but I call it for what it is. You spend $60 and walk out with nothing lol

Sesshōmaru’s hoe My new year’s resolution is not to go thru self checkout, I always get stuck. But that’s a great come back “can I get an employee discount since I’m doing an employee’s job”. Also it’s against the law for them to check ur receipt while u r still in the store.

@Susan Fudge Doesn't matter...if you're caught stealing, anything from Walmart, they let you go. I guy walked out with a huge TV, and they followed him outside, told him to give it back, he refused, said he lost his receipt, and they let him go! Wow.

Joey Baseball it’s called stealing. Shame on you. Where is your self respect?

I tell 'em I've already worked 20+ years in retail, now it's your turn. I've also replied with, okay, do I get your paycheck? I'm not going to walk into the store past a "Customer service is our #1 priority" sign and hear that from an employee.

Michelle Wei Oh I know. Spent 30 year’s in retail and seen it all.

Yep. I've seen that too. They rip open stuff, toss it aside and pick another one.

People don't give a shit

@@allie5909 👍😂👍😂👍

That's just weird. Thanks for sharing.

Why?

@@tinaflintstone8148The register sometimes rings up the wrong price, especially soft drinks and fresh fruit. I often use my cell phone to photograph products and prices of these, to show at the register.

That's the same with electronics. I have a buddy that works at Samsung. He said that the TV's that get sent to Walmart, roll off of a separate assembly line made with cheaper components.

YES!!!! Their Dickies bar and is (or was) sub par. I love the Dickies brand and was sad to see how poor the quality was from Walmart. Bummer!

@@andrewhixson2235 and phones, same thing, cheaper components ,less memory etc

@@andrewhixson2235 I heard that from someone else. Guess it is true. On the other hand I got a TV from another big box. It has been good to me.

@@TheSaltySiren I have also heard that outlet malls are the same, their things are made differently.

We're aware! 😅 Also, if FedEx guys could stop eating all the Christmas candy shipped- that'd be great! Thanks! 🤣

Yep this is what should be #12 - using the app to find hidden secret clearance.

Just type in clearance??

@@atcmadness4351 just scan with the app. But if I know exactly what I'm looking for i price check on the app the surrounding stores and go to the cheaper one.

@@Lirio.Branca I have gotten some nice things that way. Problem is I was so excited at the price, I bought a top and still have not worn it. Just sayin’.

@@wsue1038 yes, guilty of that too but I try now to avoid that. If I buy clothes it's mostly things I know I will use, such as I avoid seasonal clothes that will most likely not get used right away or at all.

My roommate bought a 3# bag of tangerines. It started to go bad within three weeks.

@@patriciaaturner289 3 Weeks. Do you think they last forever?

I bought 2 bags of apples, different varieties from different stores. They both had molded seeds. The exterior was fine. Clearly not WM fault. Still yuck. Most stuff is fine.

COVID-19 has entered the chat

Or the 1st of the month

At a gas station recently I saw candy at "2 for $3.00 or regular price each".

Caught several "sale"prices that were morè then the regular price.

Grocery stores use this tactic a lot.

Buy one get one Free

I agree to this with more stores than just Walmart. The important thing is just to know your prices before shopping if it is possible to do so.I have seen some stores that may have an item that usually costs 1.45 ea. and then put an ad out to get everyone to think it is a great deal for 2/ $3.

Why should they?

I worked at Walmart. The motto is " Do more for less. It starts with their employees. They don't pay a living wage and keep people working part=time so as not to have to provide insurance or any benefits. Employees have to get food stamps to be able to eat. Single people don't get support. I worked with many people who came to work and had no lunch. We asked the supervisor if they could help by giving people more hours or providing an emergency food program. . He response was flippant at best and thought it was good people knew how to suffer. He also quoted the company motto: We do more for LESS; I guess he thought that starving people was just fine as long as he was able to make his bonus for keeping costs down. I know what you are saying --employees have no loyalty to the store.

Yolanda Denny find another job

@@erose964 they do. It's rare to find a employee with a 5year badge on them. Most people quit before then.

Wrong

One mistake I Will Never make again at Walmart, I will Never buy a money order from Walmart. The last one I bought and mailed to pay on a credit card was intercepted and cashed. Yes, someone took my money order and cashed it. I went to walmart to see what they can do about it and they had me to call a service number. The money order was for $75.oo and they wanted me to pay $16.oo for them to investigate the issue and correct it. So, since walmart can not guarantee the safety and security of their money orders then i will simply not get them from walmart at all.

Thanks for being here Mike!

It’s okay at my local Sams I work at, on one our our shipments for 99 supplies, the person who set up the pallet at the warehouse put the cleaning chemicals in the middle of the pallet 🤦🏻‍♀️ so when it got to us it had busted open and leaked all the way to the bottom of that pallet.

Petco wraps their stock when it comes off the truck

Amazon is the same way

Good point Eyre, the pallets should be shrink wrapped before distribution, and yes this is common sense.

Will they discount products with damaged packaging?

It was over a year ago. I just don't give them the money or put myself back into that position again. Plus I warn people on how underhanded they are with their Money Orders. I figure the more people who know about it the less it will happen to someone else.

@Clyde McClain It's my understanding is that Walmart and most retailers do not guarantee or have any kind of insurance on their money orders. So if it gets cashed by someone other than the intended person/entity you have no recourse 99% of the time. If you get it from the post office, bank , etc. part of the reason they are more expensive is because they are insured. So if your money order gets in the wrong hands they will investigate and insure you get your money back. A few years back I bought a $250 money order that was intercepted and cashed by the wrong person. I was lucky that the merchant traced it and I got my money back. They did advise me that their policy was not to investigate but they would do their best. It was a few years ago so things could have changed but I'm pretty sure this still is true. Hope this helps others not to lose their hard earned money.

1 thumb up for Tomato post

Be careful at other places too. Especially check cashing stores. Many people think all money orders are guaranteed, but some aren't. Best bet I've found is from your bank. They cost a bit more, but your chance at recovering after lost or stolen is much better. I was a property manager for about 20 years and saw many tenants learn that the hard way.

I'm so glad I read this thread. I have used Walmart money orders for years, mailed them, & never had a problem, but there's always a first time. Good to know. Thanks for sharing.

I wished Walmart had an isle for special needs toys .it makes me tear up when I do my Christmas shopping and there is no variety of toys for my blind granddaughter 😕

Wondered why I hadn't seen him on WKYC lately.

Just be careful you buy pre mixed salads, I had 3 that didn't expire but the plastic was torn and lettuce turned brown!

Definitely an exception!! Not many people can say the same.

@@musicfanhawk4523 I disagree. I think many can say the same (including me), you just don't hear about them. People are quick to complain, but few bother to write a good review. In a way, that's understandable....kind of the "no news is good news" theory. I know many people who love the pickup service for groceries, and the lot is quite busy. If they were unhappy, they wouldn't come back. Like B. Bell, I've used it for years with only one complaint, which was quickly resolved and had nothing to do with freshness of produce.

Great tip!

A grocery item tip: If you want a can of mushrooms, don’t go to the aisle that sells mushrooms and olives. Instead, go to the aisle that sells pre-made pizza crust, pizza sauce, etc. In that area, they also have mushrooms, but way cheaper. Go figure.

Judy G It covers up the weed smell in a car

@@ef1910 I'll never tell...

I see someone mentioned the same holds true for Mushrooms, and I'm not surprised - coffee filters are the same way, at least the kind my parents used: nearly a dollar less if bought on the appliance aisle vs. the coffee aisle.

🤣

That's by design to coax you to self

If it wasn't for people like us,who like to use cashiers...ie interacting with people they wouldn't have a JOB

The closest Walmart to me completely eliminated cashiers. It's all self checkout. Unfortunately, people keep shopping there which encourages corporate to eliminate cashiers chainwide.

@@riverraisin1 I refuse to use a self checkout. I would if your bill total had 10% taken off because you saved them the cost of paying an employee to do it.

Back in the 80's and 90's walmart used to have signs by the register that said if there were more than 3 people in line they would open another register.
