My letter to Wal-Mart

Please enjoy my below complaint I just sent to Wal-Mart corporate about Franklin, KY walmart:


Last night, I was shopping at this store and went down the "clearence" aisle. There were two boxes of plastic toy trucks, bulldozers, etc with a tag underneath saying they were $3.00 reduced from $3.44. The tag ON the toy said $2.97. I am furious about this because this is not the first time this has happened. Last year, I complained because there was a tag underneath childrens swimming pools listing it as reduced from one price to another, when again, the tag on the item itself listed the price lower. I received a call from the store's manager, telling me that those items had been put in the wrong place, and the tag did not match the item above it. He appologized for the confusion and promised it would be corrected and should not happen again. This time I took pictures. If you will give me an email address to email the pictures to, I would be happy to share. This is ridiculous.




I will keep you posted on my war with Wal-Mart. I've been disgusted with their raising prices here lately anyway. I think Target and Food Lion are my new friends. In the mean time, beware of the clearance aisle!

Comments

  1. Ok, I have a couple of comments.. first of all, the manager that told you the construction toys were in the wrong place lied to you. Everything is driven by UPC and the UPC number on the toy matches the UPC on the modular (tag underneath). Also, you have to really pay attention to bundles. Bundle packs are usually higher. Same goes with pack sizes. Many times you can buy 3-4/packs of toilet paper cheaper than a 12/pack of the same thing. That's just one item, you have to check them all. Good luck with your complaint. One of their trucks ran us off the road 18 months ago and I'm still waiting for a call back. The one call I received, the guy said "oh, well the driver said it wasn't him" even though we were able to describe the tattoo on his hand as he flipped us off. I hate that place...

Mommy Kisses

WARNING: YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS POST WHILE EATING... My daughter has been sick since Thursday, running a high fever. Luckily its just an ear infection and not the flu. However early Sunday morning (and I stress Early, well before 8AM) my dogs started barking and woke Shiloh up. Since I was not ready to get up, and she didn't look like she was ready to face the world either, I took her into my room and laid back down with her. I was in a light doze, and she seemed to go in and out of dozing with some wiggling in between. After one wiggling bout, she started whining and I opened my eyes just wide enough to see her holding her hand in the air. Now at 19 months old, we are heavily following the "I hurt it, so mommy kisses it and its all better" philosophy. I naturally assumed the hand or finger had been pinched, rolled on, or otherwise "hurt" and needed a mommy kiss so we could both go back to sleep. I kissed it, and that is when I realized...THERE WAS ...

I am a working mom

It is no secret if you know me at all, I am a working mom.  I work full time. I leave my house at 6AM and barely make it home by 6PM, Monday through Friday.  And then I work overtime some nights and weekends...like today.  I am spending my Sunday working overtime.  And then I also do photography on the side to make extra money. And I am active in my church's childrens ministry.  It gets to be alot.  Our lives are very hectic and sometimes I wonder if it's worth it. Are my priorities right? I believe my work is important.  I believe my work is necessary for my families survival.  Sometimes my work is needed for my sanity.  Even with a crazy work enviorment, sometimes it is mental break I need to function at home. However, as my children get older, the more I realize that I am missing thier lives.  I've daydreamed about becoming a stay at home mom, but let me tell you, the numbers don't work.  Even if we gave up all the ammenities...
