Super Walmart Dept Stores Walmart's new questionable Tactic Internet

Good lord...

People will look anywhere for a conspiracy, won't they?

Karl,

Companies have been taking out life insurance policies on their employees for decades. When an employee dies, the company loses money from lost productivity and needs to spend more money training an employee to replace the deceased one.

This is not new information.

My dad remembers Kroger's taking out a policy out on him in 1961. So, you're a bit behind the times. There is no conspiracy, so your post is dumb.

did.

or did you have to work on it?

one post of your "poems" and crap is enough, but do you really have to keep spamming the same crap over and over and over again?

according to an article and a video available on the web.

It is always funnier if it is not your kid.  Nope, generally we do not video tape our son when he goes to work every day. 

How about you?  Go and buy a bike at Walmart and have someone video tape every trip you take.  I am sure within a couple of weeks you fall and then you can win some money on AFV.

Did you get a video of your son smacking the pavement? You could've sent that to America's Funniest Videos and gotten some money. I'm sure I would've laughed.

We received a phone call from a very humble store manager (previously very hostile) Chris Herndon who told us he will send a refund in the full amount.  Guess between the Ripoff Report, News Channel 31 in Denver, and me contacting the Regional Manager we can bring this to an end.

Your problem is with the manufacturer of the bicycle, not Walmart (retailer.)

You need to SUE the manufacturer for a defective product and for personal injury to your son. 

A similar thing happened to my step son some years ago.  His mother purchased a mountain bike for him and approximately 2 months later, he rode off a curb and the "yoke" (where the front forks attach to the frame) separated from the rest of the frame.  He was OK except for some scrapes.

My wife ended up sueing the bike maker.  It took almost 2 years to settle the case but my step son received about $4500 for his injuries in addition to a refund of the purchase price and legal fees.  My wife sued on behalf of her minor son.

Walmart is NOT going to get involved.  You should consult with a competent attorney and sue the manufacturer.

Good luck.

May 13, 2010: Received a call from Chris Herndon who is the Manager of Walmart store 2751 in Englewood Colorado (303) 789-7201.  Mr. Herndon seems to think, since CMI "closed the case he does not have to give us our refund! Even though I told him that the CMI report and our refund are two completely different issues he still refuses to give us our money back.

May 12, 2010:  I just received a phone call from Ms. Cricket of CMI (Walmart's Claim Department) who pretty much told me that it no longer their responsibility and I would have to talk to the manufacturer! Nice way of Walmart to get out of this!  First they do not respond to you at all and when you don't give up they just tell you that it is no longer their responsibility!  My son gad bloody hands, knees, and chin but all we actually want is out money back!

12 May 2010: Did research and found a Janet Hall of CMI sent an email to Janett and asked for help. She replied with an email and told me that she forwarded my email to Rodney Jernigan who is Crickets supervisor.

12 May 2010, 01:35 P.M. (CDT) called Rodney Jernigan (Crickets supervisor) and did not reach him. Left a message and am waiting now to get called back.
