Sure. There was this one time when I was shopping at Walmart late at night. As I was walking down an aisle, a large stack of boxes suddenly fell over right behind me. It was really scary as it made a huge noise and could have easily hit me. Turns out, the boxes were not stacked properly. But no staff came to check on what had happened for a good few minutes.
A friend of mine had a horror story at Walmart. She was looking for a particular item and asked a staff member for help. The staff member was extremely rude and just brushed her off, saying they didn't know where it was without even trying to find out. She ended up spending a long time searching for the item herself, and when she finally found it, it was damaged. When she went to exchange it, she had to go through a whole lot of hassle with different departments.
Well, there was a situation where a customer's car got damaged in the Walmart parking lot. A shopping cart that was not properly put away by the store employees rolled down a slope and hit the customer's car, leaving a big dent. The customer had to deal with the store management to get compensation for the damages. However, the management was initially reluctant and tried to put the blame on the customer, saying they should have parked in a different spot. After a lot of back - and - forth, the customer finally got some money for the repairs, but it was a very frustrating experience.
Sure. A customer once bought a new refrigerator from Walmart. When it was delivered, it had a big dent on the side. The customer called Walmart's customer service immediately. But they were passed around from one department to another, and it took them hours just to get someone to start looking into the issue.
Sure. A customer had his brakes checked at Walmart Autocare. They told him everything was fine. But just a few days later, his brakes failed while he was driving on the highway. It was a really dangerous situation. Luckily, he managed to stop the car without getting into an accident. But it was clear that Walmart Autocare had made a huge mistake in their inspection.
A friend of mine worked at Walmart and had a horror story about inventory. They were doing the annual inventory count, and the system kept crashing. They had to start over multiple times, and they were stuck at work until really late at night, like 3 in the morning. It was a nightmare because they were so tired but couldn't leave until the inventory was done right.
I've heard that some Walmart workers in certain locations have to work in very poor working conditions. The stores might be under - staffed, so the remaining workers have to take on extra tasks like stocking shelves, cleaning, and cashiering all at the same time. This can be extremely overwhelming. Moreover, during busy seasons like holidays, the workload doubles but the pay doesn't increase proportionally.
A Walmart worker once told me that they had to work in extremely hot conditions in the warehouse during the summer. The air conditioning was not working properly, but they were still expected to meet their quotas. It was a health hazard and made the work environment very unpleasant.
Yes. There was a case where a customer host was guiding a customer to the electronics section. On the way, another customer bumped into them very hard and then started shouting at the host as if it was their fault. The host was just doing their job but had to face this unjust anger.
I heard of a story where someone bought a set of windshield wipers from Walmart. When it rained for the first time after the installation, the wipers just smeared the water instead of clearing it. As a result, the driver had very poor visibility and almost got into an accident. It was a nightmare situation, and the customer was left wondering why Walmart would sell such ineffective auto products.
A cashier once had a customer who paid with a large amount of small change. Counting all those coins took a lot of time and held up the line. The cashier was under pressure to keep the line moving but couldn't do much until all the change was counted. It was a nightmare.
Sure. There was a person who took Ambien and woke up to find that they had written strange and disturbing messages all over their walls. They had no memory of doing it at all. It was really creepy as it was like some unknown force had taken over them while they were under the influence of the drug.
Sure. There was a Pegasister who attended a Pegasus - themed convention. She was really excited to meet other fans and see all the cool stuff. But she accidentally bumped into a very rude group of so - called 'hardcore' Pegasisters. They started yelling at her and making her feel like she didn't belong there just because she was new to the fandom and didn't know all the 'inside' rules. It was a horrible experience for her.
