I go to St Vital Walmart every month for my little girls pictures. I agree that to walmart it may be all about numbers, and dont like the little “fine print” when it coems to getting the advertisted deals. However, the girl who always does my daughters pictures is amazing! Her name is Anna. She takes the time to make sure my daughter is happy and smiling throughout her session. I was worried today, because my daughter was not so happy at her appointment time (she was so tired), and Anna suggested that we walk around for awhile so that she could nap, and come back later when she was feeling happier! (Even though it meant she would have to work late). Anna got some great shots, and its so hard just to pick one pose when she does the pictures! Also, you can get some great deals if you pay attention to the emails they send out! Got our family portraits done for free today, and yes, that included 3 sheets of free prints!

Did you demand the district managers number if you complain loud enough the will throw free stuff at you also as a soon to be ex employee for coming back from maternity leave to find that they are not accommodating to nursing mothers I’m gonna say just keep demanding there next persons supervisor if it gets to the vice Prez they tend to do what ever you want

I just found this. I work at a WM Portrait Studio.. It’s all about numbers to them.

Now, I’m grateful to even have a job, but I can’t stand working there. I’m not the best “sales” person in the world, but I am a people person. Everything is about sales there, not about quality products. Yes, they do train us how to take nice pictures, but it’s all about the money.

The way things are worded when selling products is very shady. I can’t bring myself to manipulate people like that. Basically, immediately tell someone the highest price, and convince them they need that product. Don’t mention lower priced products unless they ask.

And yeah, even though the $7.99 package is advertised all over, we’re told to not even try to sell it, unless the customer asks for it.

I can say no more, as I don’t want to get fired. Although, I probably will anyway, because my “numbers” aren’t good enough.

@Ron Simmons: How is that racist in the least? If he said he thought it was a branch of the US government would that be racist? If your answer is no than you sir are the racist. Try seeing everybody as one once in awhile

I think anyone that shops at Wal Mart goes there for 1 reason and 1 reason only CHEAP prices. NOT for customer service. The Wal Mart location that I shop at employes people with heavy accents that are really hard to understand, the cashiers move seriously slow and don’t know how to pack a bag to save their life, and if you ask any employee where something is located … good luck you would be better off walking up and down each isle to find it for yourself. So for me to complain about lack of customer service would be futile as there is none. I go there to save money period. PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT racist just stating the fact that my location employes people with accents I did not mean that in any derogitory way.

I have had nothing but terrible service and product at Walmart so quit going there ages ago. I believe they are an arm of the Chinese government and are attempting to undermine us and sap our resolve.

i worked for walmart for 5 years, in ontario, walmart cares nothing about its employees or customers, to them you are just dollar signs, no more no less

I don’t think anyone going to Walmart expects customer service.

Ron Simmons- I expect customer service and for workers to honour their word, regardless of the store so your comment is completely ridiculous.

I hope they honour the price several workers told you and the matter gets resolved

Is it possible to poor pay and working conditions don’t encourage the ‘associates’ to care about the business and its customers?
