Walmart Review

I do shop at Wal-Mart but it gets more annoying each time I do.  One week you get a good price on your staple items, the next week the price goes up.  Go back the following week and it is lowered again!  That little smiley guy that knocks the prices down, ALSO knocks the prices up but Wal-Mart doesn't admit that to the customer in their commercials.  It's a big game.

I also hate the fact that so many of their products are made in China.  Our country is going down the tubes in the manufacturing area.  And products from China are dangerous, as we are finding out. They do not care if our children get lead poisoning.  But the companies that import it are at fault there also.  They should have stringent testing policies in place before putting these Chinese-made items up for sale.

I like that Wal-Mart will "price match" if you bring in the ad from another store, but they sometimes make up rules as they go along.  I took a Petco ad to their store for a match on Friskies cat food, but they wouldn't match it because Petco has a loyalty card!  So I didn't purchase the 5 cases of food.  I couldn't believe they would rather anger a customer than give a better price!  It does not say anywhere in the store that they will not price match if a loyalty card is required.  I have complained to the manager about these made-up policies but he doesn't care.  He's making $10 an hour and just wants to go home.  Can't blame him.
