Today I was at the Hickory, NC WM and was rudly told that I coult, nt enter with my bookbag.I asked why and was told for security reasons.I respond with "what about people with purses/baby bags/brief cases" etc. and was told that was different.I then asked where to put my bag until I left and was told to put it behind a walmart sign that had dirt there from where someone had sweept.I then ask to see the manager for at least a reciept before I left my bag there incase it got stolen since they did not offer a secure area or anything to store it in.The manager came and locked it in a room near the entrance and said to have someone call him when I left to get it back.I then ask him about "why no bookbag" and was given that a bookbag could conceal a weapon.I again ask about people with other types of bags.I was ignored and exspressed my anger at being discrimanated at like this.The manager was J.T. Calhourn at the hickory, nc store.I am very unhappy about this and will persue it further especially since when I left I observed other people in the store with book bags and other types bags.

I thought Wal-Mart would match any food price as long as it was the same item? I live in South hill, VA. I was told the first time that They would only match what food lion had on sale if it didnt have the food lion logo on it. I went again to walmart and was told that they will only match with in a thirty mile radius. I lived in Texas and I never had a problem. I brought my pamphlet to store and they matched the price!! So, is it true like the ads on TV say or only in some stores?

If I have to I will travel the 30 miles and go else where. I was trying to do it my shopping in one place. But, I would like to know what is fact or are they macking it up because they dont want to deal with the extra work of looking it up in the ads?

I'm doing a school project on Walmart; my assignment is to write about their organizational culture. I picked Walmart (instead of other companies) because I knew they had an ethics policy. So I have been researching a bit, found some people like Walmart. Then I found this site...my goodness. I'll state in my project that the only reason i would work there is to be a manager, so at least the store that I'll be working at will be ran correctly.

How long does it take to get hired at walmart I have applied numerous times on line often by changing my password to reapply. I had 3 excellent years eperience in the retail field working at a Sears store and feel well qualified. I am over 55 and need a job to pay for bills, rent, food, but when I go into wal mart I often see most of the cashier jobs are given to young kids who probably don't need the money as much as I do. Also they hire mainly women. I am a male over 55.

On 9/5/09, I purchased items at WalMart located at 1725 New Hope Church Rd., Raleigh, NC. Upon reaching home it was discovered that I was charged twice for one product (overcharge was $2.68). I did not return to WalMart until 9/8/09 to resolve the overcharge but was advised by their customer service department that "unless the overcharge was resolved on the "date of purchase" the money could not be returned. Their store nor webisite has any company policies posted, regarding overcharges.
