What do you guys think about Walmart+? Service has good value, or just another way a company can suck more money out of consumers while providing the bare minimum of service and quality?
Edit: lemmy squashed my image into a potato, so here's a hosted one: https://pasteboard.co/ybPFckqHErr2.jpg
Is it just my client or is this picture really blurry?
Yea, it's a potato
Even downloaded it's really blurry.
Not sure what lemmy did, but i added a full res link too
I really have no idea why, I upload the original image to Lemmy and that's what came out π€·
Edit: and i just tried to post an uploaded version from imgbb and the link seems have been auto edited and immediately broke.
Edit2: this one? https://pasteboard.co/ybPFckqHErr2.jpg
Doesn't seem to me to be an outrageous request. I would have put it in a baggie or Walmart bag and returned it to the store, but it looks like it was resolved pretty easily. The threat to run it on the counter seems unnecessarily Karen.
Agreed on both points
Isn't the whole point of having things delivered to NOT HAVE TO GO TO THE STORE? The billion dollar company can eat that cost so the customer isn't even more inconvenienced.
Being right doesn't make someone any less of an asshole. Walmart is a horrible company and OP sounds like douchebag. Two things can be true at the same time.
While I am all for retaliating against corporate bullshit - don't smear it on the returns counter because that means some hourly person has to clean it - best mail it to corporate HQ.
I was instructed to bring it to the store and would not receive my refund.
Charge it back and unsub from Walmart + fuck em.
Sunflower butter = margarine?
I believe it is a peanut butter alternative.
Yep, in terms of flavor and consistency, it's the closest to peanut butter.
I've never heard of sunflower butter before but after googling it the containers look like peanut butter. Is it spilling because it does that thing some peanut butters will do where it separates into like, oil on the top and the rest underneath? Not doubting your post at all, just genuinely curious about this thing I've never heard of before.
Also the "Walmart pus" typo is hilariously kinda accurate given the situation.
Smearing it all over the counter would only ruin the day for one or more of their wage slaves, of course WM wouldn't care if you did that.
Those workers are paid the same whether they're helping customers or cleaning sunflower butter off the counter. Sunflower butter isn't particularly disgusting or difficult to clean. Every minute a worker spends cleaning it up is a minute not spent doing things that would actually earn money for the company.
Tell me you've never worked customer service without telling me you've never worked customer service.
I have worked customer service.
Would you rather be stocking shelves or cleaning mystery goo that a customer smeared on your workspace? Are the people working at Walmart other human beings with feelings or objects to be punished in a war against corporations?
With what degree of certainty would you be able to say that the mystery goo you're cleaning off of your counter has not been spit in or mixed with something really nasty by said vindictive and out of touch customer?
