I dropped the kids off at school and stopped at Rite Aid to buy some toothpaste, shampoo, etc.. Went to pay with my debit card and it wouldnt work it kept coming up as unauthorized, man was I embarassed as a whole flock of blue hairs were lined up behind me and the gay cashier acted as though I was trying to scam them. I finally had to use a credit card to get the transaction to work since I allready felt like a low life. Went out to my car and there was a voice mail from my bank stating that they suspected my card had been used illegially at a Walmart in Westbury, New York (1500 miles from my home). I called them back and they told my card had been used three times in Westbury that morning to purchase $500 gift cards on each purchase. I told them that I had my card right here in my hand, so how could someone be using my card. I was told that if your purchase something online (which I had from Eastbay) that employees have access to your credit card and now have the capibility to make the exact card in their home. Luckily for me, I will get all of the money back since I had a gold card and the merchant was suppose to check for ID on any purchases over $250. I just had to call the Walmart in Westbury and tell them just what I thought of them. It took me 24 calls to finally get a manager, as everytime I called some moron would answer and transfer me to a line that would just ring and ring. Finally, I spoke to this nasty bitch (I know she had to be absolutely butt ugly and obese) and I told her the story about how her Associate failed to ID the buyer and how they had gotten my bank and me for $1500. This bitch told me "tough luck", we dont have time in the day to ID every card user! I really wish there was something for me to do to at least butt heads with Walmart since why should they profit from a crime when they failed to follow my card instructions. I thought about tossing $60 down and filing a suit in small claims court just to make them work a little bit, but it probably would do no good. Im done with Walmart, but I still have this feeling of needing revenge with them.

I think at all Walmarts in the customer service area they have a sign with the manager and then under the district manager and has their phone #'s. I would callback tomorrow and ask the customer serviceperson for the district managers phone #. If what you say is true, her saying "tough luck" and such, any customer oriented district manager would take great exception to this.

Yeah, she should have been saying sorry over and over to you. How hard would that have been for her? Even if there was nothing she could do. Some people are just brain dead.

It would have been too easy for her to say, I apologize for this inconvenience, and wish there were something I could to to remedy this for you.

I found similar rudeness at Sears after I had made the mistake of purchasing a kitchen full of appliances there for my first house. The store manager told me that she could not care less about my complaint, and that my business would not make or break her store. This was 8 years ago, yet I will never forget.........

there are bad employees in every major business..

if one wants the proper and correct measures to be tasken one must be willing to take the time to persue the bosses up the ladder to get the actions taken that you deem correct

If these people worked for you ..you would want those people reported to you so you could make the corrective measures..



Everybody has a boss...Even me and I own the company..My customers are the boss.

31 years ago my dad bought a washing machine from Sears and had problems with it - something about it was broke when it was delivered.

31 years my father has boycotted Sears and anything related to Sears. At the mall, he'd rather walk outside in -15 degrees than even walk through the sears store to get to the other side of the mall.

He's spent tens of thousands of dollars on Snap-on tools rather than craftsman over the course of his life. I'm not a big craftsman guy either.. but they're lower cost - if he's at my house, he will drive an hour each way to go home and get his own tools rather than use mine if we are fixing something.

Same here--If I have beef with store I don't go back. --however on this issue my anger would be focused on those stealing indentity--not a rude customer service rep.

This happened to my wife months ago. She got the money back but in order if her to press charges she had to drive 2 hours to show up in court... She did but most people don't care once the money is back in the acct...
