Such merchandise is clearly marketed under Walmart's "Great Value"
brand. All merchandise is presented in its original packaging, clearly
marked with all required labels such as content, weight, volume,
nutrition, etc.
and censored CDs.
Those, too, are clearly marked.
I have yet to verify personally these accusations
Yet you perpetuate them.
making workers work off-the-clock
Wrong.
Walmart ran afoul of wage and hour requirements YEARS ago when it was
revealed that SOME workers had worked off the clock. It is unclear
whether the workers were pressured by management to do so.
Today, the biggest rule, by far and away, is that one does NOT work off
the clock. Management is adamant about it. There are large (bilingual)
signs at each time clock forbidding working unless clocked-in.
So do the signs reach out and prevent this or are they there for show?
and a majority of responses on WM's side appeared to me
to defend WM by "blaming the victims" as opposed to
claiming that WM did not do such.
Walmart is extremely accommodating with merchandise returns and other
customer concerns.
For good reason, it costs them almost nothing. Ask any vendor how
returns are handled. Someone can purchase an item and literally destroy
it and haul it back to the store. Even though there were no defects
Walmart simply dings the vendor and makes them eat the cost.
Still, there will always be the customer that is
dissatisfied regardless of any outcome.
Remember, also, there are those that, not too much unlike shoplifters,
will intentionally take advantage of Walmart's liberal customer
satisfaction policies.
My wife was mistreated by a returns Associate as was my son-in-law - the
latter over a mere package of moldy pita bread. Much depends on the
Associate with whom the customer is dealing and how much experience and
training that Associate has had.
As in it's been quite a few years since
I bought anything from them.
That's too bad. It is a great place to work and shop.
