zetsuei18stop being butt holes!! There are a few things im tired of customers doing all the time, and im just gonna put them down here. I ask that if your a walmart customer that you pay attention.
1.) DON'T OPEN THE PACKAGING!!! Until you've payed for it. I don't care what your excuse is. I've heard them all and 90% of them can be solved just by taking a second to read the packaging itself. You want to know what the box contains? there's usually a contents list on it somewhere. You want to know what it looks like? LOOK AT THE FREAKEN PICTURE ON THE BOX!! etc. otherwise your just gonna have to do what everybody else does and decide weather or not you want to take the risk of purchase. Seriously people, most of the opened packaging we have to send back, what we can put back on the shelf always ends up looking terrible and nobody wants to buy it if it's been opened. On another note, if you MUST open a package, find one thats already been opened and rummage threw it, don't open a new one....
2.) THROW AWAY YOUR GARBAGE! stop hiding it behind merchandise or throwing it on the floor, or even setting it near the trashcan. Put in INSIDE the trashcans. Seriously, I'm not sure how they do it in other stores, but in the one I work in there's at least 1 trashcan in every department. in some theres 2-3. There's always a can within a very short walking distance.
3.) PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE YOU GRABBED ITEMS FROM!! When you pick up an item to look at it, take a second to note where you got it from, so when and if you put it back you can do it in the right place. Especially if its a small item.
4.) TRUST US! I'm tired of people asking me a question about something and then accusing me of lying the second I try to give an answer. Also when we say we don't know something, were not trying to ignore you or get you "out of our hair". most times we really don't know. Like an employee who works in lawn and garden probobly won't be able to tell you where to find that special desk lamp with a built in radio or whatever.
5.) IT'S NOT OUR FAULT!! If you have a problem with a manufactured item you bought, keep in mind. We didn't make it! We just sell it! We also can't controle a phone companies policy. If they say that your daughter can't update her own phone and you have to be there to do it for her, then that what you have to do. Raising hell over the phone at US isn't going to change anything cuz theres nothing we can do about it. We are just as much at there mercy as you are. We are just a middle man.
6.) STOP SUCKING AT RETURNS!! If your item is past it's return date (15-90 days depending on the item) then don't try to return it! We're sorry but thats policy, if you couldn't make it on time then thats some bad luck, we all have to deal with those kinds of problems, get over it. Also If the item has been physically damaged AFTER you get it home, then don't try to return it. Your incompetence at handling your own crap is absolutely not our fault in any way. Or if you lost parts of it, or no longer have the ENTIRE product, then we can't take that back. I know some people are legitimate and honestly lost those parts, but walmart has to protect itself from those who buy a product to get the part they need and return the rest. Essentially getting free stuff. Hence the policy
7.) WE ARE NOT A SPECIALTY STORE!!! We are a one stop shop. Basically a large and glorified convenience store. We are not trained to know everything about a specific type of product. Instead we are just givin general knowledge on most of whats around us in our respective departments, and some beyond. Just enough to be helpfull. I work in electronics, but that doesn't mean I can tell you what replacement part you need to repair your dang computer. I am not a technician. Nor can I tell you why a certain device will work with one phone and not the other. I just don't know, and my free time is for me to relax and enjoy myself. I'm not gonna spend it researching all this crap I'm have no need for personally to answer questions I may never get asked. Also we don't carry everything for everything! We don't have those computer parts for repairs. We don't sell the power cords for every item in the store. If we carried everything for everything the store would have to be at least 5X bigger than it already is.
8) FORGET YOUR FREAKEN COUPONS!!! If they don't work, they don't work. Don't wine and complain to us if we can't accept it, you didn't buy the right thing, or they're expired. Boo-freaken-hoo. If the coupons at the end don't print out, and you expected a certain one, don't complain to me. I can't help you, it's the computer, not me. Oh, and don't you even dare make me refund the whole darn order and re-ring it so you can use coupons that printed off at the end. You freaken selfish buttholes need to realize our time is precious too. D:<
Theres more but I can't think of any of it at the moment.....please just be nice and try to not be a moron when you shop at walmart, it'll make everybodies lives better, and our jobs easier in the end.

I'd add another one, though.
8) Fuck your goddamn coupons. If they don't work, they don't work. Don't bitch and complain to us if we can't accept it, you didn't buy the right thing, or they're expired. Boo-fucking-hoo. We CAN force them, but, (at least where I work) we get bitched at for doing that, even if it's to avoid a shitfest at the counter so I can get back to my photo-developing duties. And if the coupons at the end don't print out, and you expected a certain one, don't bitch at me. I can't help you, it's the computer, not me. Oh, and don't you fucking dare make me refund the whole damned order and re-ring it so you can use coupons that printed off at the end. You fucking goddamned selfish assholes need to realize our time is precious too. D:<
(I work at CVS/Pharmacy, am well trained, and am usually the only person in the store save for the manager, so I have to run register, inventory, stock and the photo development lab all at the same time.)
hit the nail on the head. I used to be a cashier at a grocery store. Customers would raise all sorts of hell over a 20 cent coupon that didn't go through, and the reason it didn't go through was either it was expired or they got the wrong product. In other words, its their fault, but of course they try to blame me. And where I worked, we couldn't force them to work. Trying would just cause even more trouble, but every self righteous little jackass would piss and moan until we did.
I can't tell you how many times I wanted to tell a customer "Look, I'll give you 20 cents out of my own pocket if you just shut the fuck up about this damn coupon", because their shit was so annoying that if it cost me 20 cents to get them out of my face it would definitely be worth it.
