| - If I could give this Hell Hole zero stars, I would. One morning, I went to this Walmart to do some grocery shopping. I LOATHE going to Walmart in general, but sometimes I have to buy things there. After spending money, I needed two dollars in quarters to run an errand. If I had known asking for two dollars in quarters, yes all 8 of them, was going to lead to where it did, I gladly would have made another stop on the way home. The first cashier I asked was at the self check outs. In typical Walmart fashion, she was standing there not really doing anything. Upon being asked to exchange two paper dollars for 8 quarters, she promptly lied to me by saying "I don't have a drawer." The self checks have a drawer. I know this. I simply walked to the next cashier, waited until she was finished with her customer and asked her to make change. She refused to do so, saying, unbelievably, "It's against store policy to make change for customers." What? Against store policy to break two dollars into quarters? Surely, this couldn't be true. I went to customer service and was refused service there as well. By this time, I was getting frustrated. I found an Assistant Manager, an obese woman hiding her name badge, and voiced my frustration with having to ask so many "associates" and be denied a pretty basic characteristic of proper customer service that a Goliath retailer like Walmart should easily accommodate. They literally have an ENTIRE ROOM full of change. She promptly rolls her eyes at me and, with the attitude of a true deplorable, says "Well, I'll do it for you, but we really don't want our cashiers making change." It was TWO DOLLARS!! Then she goes full condescending, "Here's one. There's two. Anything else I can do for you?", treating me like I'm the world's biggest jerk because I had the audacity to expect the world's largest retailer to exchange two dollars in quarters AFTER I just dropped $50 on food. She was probably hungry. Anyway, I called the 1-800-Walmart number to complain. The next day, I get a call from a moron named Bill Huckabee, the Store Manager. He starts yelling at ME!! He dropped some choice customer focused rational like "I listened to you, NOW YOU'RE GONNA LISTEN TO ME!" and says "I don't appreciate you being belligerent to my Assistant Manager" obviously because Fatty McStupid had preemptively told him that I was "belligerent", to cover her own trailer sized behind. I was frustrated, but I wasn't "belligerent". And Mr(s). Huckabee wasn't involved with Quartergate, so his understanding of my mental state was complete hearsay. I couldn't believe it. Was this Walmart manager actually yelling at me? I'm in a battle with a Walmart Clown because I asked to exchange two FREAKING dollars. Then he says "Maybe you shouldn't shop here anymore." Oh, don't worry, Cheif; that's goes without saying. Dang man, I know your wife probably messes around on you, but I ain't the guy.
This, unfortunately, is not a situation exclusive this this particular Walmart. Every time I go to one of the stores, it's like an exercise in misery. The a large percentage of the clientele make you want to escape without injury. And the associates are some of the most miserable people I've ever seen. From the "Greeters" who usually "greet" you with a scowl, the sales floor staff and cashiers who take much pleasure in NOT treating customers well and the "where else are you gonna shop" arrogance of they're highly overpaid management, it's just not worth the savings. I'll never met an "associate" who wasn't ready to explain for 10 minutes why they can't do a task that would have taken 2 minutes to complete. And some of the "associates" are just plain nasty. I've actually had guys with neck tattoos STARING ME DOWN while I'm shopping. That always makes me feel welcome. Look, man; I know it's your first job since you got out of jail, but you're not actually JAIL anymore! You don't need to shank me in the yard to up your rep, I just wanted some fish sticks. Maybe if the only requirement to work there is to not have an open head wound with brain exposure. And the stores are dirty. Somebody is always getting hurt because it takes an hour for a spill to get cleaned up. Truly a place to avoid.
I know Walmart will never rectify the problems that their stores have. The top brass figure they can have dirty, unsafe stores and hire reprobates that treat the customers like enemies because a lot of Americans are poor and can't afford to shop anywhere else. But I refuse to do it anymore. Any other store, be it Fry's, Safeway, Target, Albertson's, freaking Quik Trip, a paying customer asking for two dollars in quarters is usually appeased. Or at the very least, the customer is told "My drawer is light on quarters, but I'll get the attention of someone who can help you." But not Walmart, where it's "Store Policy" to treat customers like garbage, because "Where you gonna go?" I don't make much money, but I'll never spend it at Walmart again.
