Wal-Mart Failed



Wal-Mart you have failed me. Yesterday I requested that someone at the corporate level please contact me about my complaint, and I also requested that any contact be made by e-mail, and provided my e-mail address. Last night, I once again received a call from the Franklin, KY store, from yet another manager. I did not answer the phone, nor did I call him back. I am through playing games.

Today, however, I was searching for an Ipod touch as a Christmas gift, and google returned a search showing Wal-Mart had one of the lowest prices, so I reluctantly went to the website to look. Sure enough, an 8 gig 2nd Generation Ipod Touch was listed for $179.00. Below that was a Value Bundle package for an 8 gig 2nd Generation Ipod touch and a $10 Wal-Mart gift card for $197.98. I am sorry, I thought it was supposed to be a VALUE BUNDLE, as in saves me money, not makes them $8.98?

    One thing I DON'T expect from Walmart is customer service. Ever. It's kind of like Best Buy. You go in because it has the cheapest price in town, but you know you're going to be pretty much on your own once you get in there.

Parents and Nutritional Idealogy

Last night I was reading an article in one of my parenting forums. The article itself was innocent enough, dispelling the myth that caffine stunts growth. The comments however, annoyed the crap out of me. “I don't see the point of giving child soda…..They are pretty horrible for you. So why give it to my daughter? There are plenty of other options out there than soda. Caffeine free or not, they don't need all that sugar. The sugar alternatives are just as bad. Their little bodies are developing so fast, why not give them beverages that encourage a healthy mind and body.” “What amazes me, in reading some of these community answers is how much artificial sugar parents are giving their children. Diet soda is no more healthy than regular soda, it doesn't contain sugar but it does contain chemically made ingredients such as aspartame or Nutra Sweet which the FDA says to consume in moderation because long term side effects need to be evaluated. Its unfortunate that even Pedia...
