Wal-mart Refused To Work With Customer Bowling Green Kentucky

I'll try this again. "My boss GAVE ME PERMISSION to purchase "A" (not an) executive chair for my office, so long as it did not exceed the $100 purchase limit(WOW) on HIS corporate card"(at that). "I located a chair for $98.66 .... requested a small discount so it wouldn't go over my $100 limit". Now we're talking $104.92 with tax. "The manager told me no". Then he goes back to the office and finds it on walmart's web site for $98.54 or $6.38 cheaper.

So he goes back to walmart, a second time and confronts the manager with his newfound knowledge about the online price and requests an online "price match" which the manger again refuses to give him. Lord, if this guy was one of my employees, he'd be out on his butt for wasting at least a half a day looking for a frickkin office chair. He doesn't state if he ever got one or not but from the sound of it, he can probably piss away another half a day or more looking for one.

He should have just dropped the extra $4.92 on the counter, out of pocket, the first time and been done with it. Just think about how much time(payroll), energy and gas he spent, going back and forth to walmart, then back to the office, time on the computer, then back to walmart the second time, to be told NO a second time. He'd better hope his boss doesn't find out about this, otherwise he'll be getting canned and he just might end up a manager AT walmart. Hard to frickin' believe , another "businessperson" in the making. This reminds me of one of those management problems they give the kids in business class in junior college. Then you get to write a business letter to corporate America requesting a solution.

Your first mistake was even going to Wally World. You need to purchase your office supplies from the office supply store and stop supporting that cheesy Wally World, I don't even shop there and I am certainly not wealthy, but I lead a happy and hopefully stress free life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"At the same time they waste more money every year taking back everybody's junk that they have had for several years ..."

You mean taking back everybody's junk that they PURCHASED at Walmart?

You mean that junk purchased at Walmart several years ago can still be returned? Dang, I'm loading up the F-150 this Saturday morning! I'm already drooling about all the new junk I'm gonna get when I take the old junk back!

Thanks for this important tip! I'm never gonna need to have a yard sale again. Just load up and head to Walmart! Wow! Now that's what I call RECYCLING!

ROTFLMAO!

Yes you could have ordered it online if you just had to have this chair. Things are always cheaper online and that is how it is. Some Wal-mart stores are cheaper than another Wal-mart store. They may have a sell that another store does not have and it is policy to not honor that, but in most cases they give in. The reason they did not knock the price is because nothing was wrong with the chair. At the same time they waste more money every year taking back everybody's junk that they have had for several years that they bring back to customer service. In other words, $6 compared to millions of waste big deal. Otherwise there are other stores with nice office chairs, look around more.

and the walmarts around here don't have any trouble taking them.

I've used the one for my rental property management company with walmart online without any problems.

What type of business card have you tried to use Leena?

Mine are both VISA and I've never had any problem using them at any store or on the internet.

FOR THE OP: If you really want the chair, simply go on line and buy it and have it sent to that store for pickup!

You'll have the chair you want and, just maybe, the bonehead manager will learn something!

that you should get a "special" price for something? What makes you better than anyone else?

If they adjust the pricing just because you asked them to, they would then, in all fairness, have to do the same with everyone else. As a test, try that next time you go out to eat at a restaurant; or next time you go to the movies.

What you could have done, is paid the $100.00 with the charge card and paid the small difference in cash.

It is very common to find the same item priced different online than what a store has it priced for....and not just at Wally World......look at CC or BB.......it happens all the time. Selling it online means that they do not have the expense of shipping it to the store, unloading it, stocking it on the floor.

I really cannot believe that you are complaining about this.

Incidentally...although good ole WallyWorld offers a bevy of lower priced garbage for sale on their website....they do not accept business credit charges on the internet. nor can I use my business credit account to purchase gas from WalMart gas. Hmmm.....and I thought they were only interested in getting money. I guess they're just as interested in losing business. Can you really trust people that contradict themselves?
