Like this to spread the word:
1) I have made complaints with the appropriate state and federal agencies that Walmart was selling pre-packaged food products were a) under weight; b) had water content which exceeded % printed on the package(s). . .And, in EVERY instance, I was corrrect! [I made certain to be present when the state or federal inspector showed up to test the products
2) I have purchased food products such as turkeys or chickens when they were on special [For example, I once purchased TEN turkeys at the advertised special price of 39 cents per lb. Several days later (when the birds were being sold at the “regular” price of 89 cents, I returned NINE birds, still packaged but now thawed PLUS the partially-eaten carcass of the tenth bird which I had had for Thanksgiving dinner. I complained that I was “not satisfied” with the flavor of the bird. I told the store manager that I could not find the receipts (The package “brand” indicated the birds had been purchased at Walmart and I had removed the sticker tags). . .According to Walmart’s posted guarantee policy, I could return the birds for a FULL refund at the CURRENT price of the product IF I did not have the receipts. Thus, I received a refund in the amount of 89 cents/lb for TEN 24 lb birds. . .An economic “hit” to Walmart of $120 because they could NOT “re-sell” the USED birds!
3) I was going on a camping trip with my son and went to Walmart. I purchased several sleeping bags; a lantern; two coolers; a camp stove; and other camping gear. . .A total outlay of around $500-$600. . .After we returned from our camping trip, I returned EVERYTHING for a full cash refund! Again, Walmart could NOT re-stock the items and sell them as “NEW”. . .I believe they sold some of the items at greatly reduced prices; and, the other stuff was probably “junked” as not “fit for re-sale”. . .
In other words, the ONLY language Walmart seems to understand is MONEY! And, this system which I have used for over 15 years has definitely hit them in the wallet!
Imagine what the impact would be if only a hundred people did this. . .Or, by extension, thousands of people??!!! I bet we would get their attention FAST!!!
Of course, they might change their “return policy”. . .However, I betcha that they’d lose a lot of customers if they did THAT!!!! Especially since Walmart NOTORIOUSLY sells “low end” merchandise that rarely lasts very long!
