Called me early this morning claiming they had been given my number by Walmart and were told to contact me. Isn't that interesting, because I have tried to contact Walmart's district manager and regional manager for the last month and a half, almost two months, after being traumatized after unknowingly sitting on a dried layer of human [***] on the seat of their electric scooter ( they store them in a dark area with no lighting)... I haven't been able to wear those pants since. Horrifying and disgusting. Walmart is stonewalling me, and suddenly someone from "Zenith Products" wakes me up early in the morning claiming Walmart told them to call me? Yah, right. When I told the woman my story she hung up on me. I also told her (I don't intend to miss any opportunities to lose Walmart a customer) I had started going to other grocery stores and had found their prices actually are very good and often beat Walmart's prices, the people are nicer and the lines faster, the bathrooms cleaner, the store and parking lots safer... and that is true. I have to think that either this was a harassment call or, as usual, Walmart can't even get a phone number right. Last week some guy from Walmart Claims woke me up at the crack of dawn, at his convenience, unarranged, and talked to me in a condescending manner when I got angry about it, saying he would call back when "we were calmer." They were using the obvious tactic of misdirection, non sequiturs, avoiding my complaint by instead harping on my choice of language and justified indignance, instead of apologizing profusely for causing me so much suffering. I had to decontaminate everything I touched in my car with chlorhexidine: my keys, everything I touched in the car, my pull-along bag, scrubbed myself raw in the shower, washed the pants three times but still can't bring myself to put them next to my skin... Had to sit on a folded towel on the way home so I wouldn't contaminate the carseat. And this is the second time in a little over a week that Walmart has awakened me early in the morning, at their convenience... They gave this woman a wrong number, she claimed, which is not unusual in my experience. Walmart is stonewalling me in the hopes that I will give up, but I will not. Be aware that every time Walmart loses a customer, they lose forty thousand dollars over the lifetime of that customer. You have power and can vote with your dollar. Be aware also that they really aren't all that cheap, that other chains have better prices and service, that is why they try to comp other store prices, that is why they try to bribe you with gift card contests on your receipt to fill out surveys that ask "where would you have gone if you didn't go to Walmart today?" and if you end up going to Walmart more than once a week because they are always out of something, you aren't saving time or money any more, so why not just go elsewhere, to the businesses that Walmart is trying to undermine and destroy, who offer you good deals and much better service, where employees care about your safety and the safety of their employees unlike Walmart... Don't let Walmart treat you like slaves or cattle. Why not just go to the horse's mouth (another merchant) instead of the horse's [***] (Walmart) for good deals? You should consider not buying anything from "Zenith Products" to put a little leverage on Walmart through them... if they are even a real business. These jerks woke me up after only four hours of sleep... twice in the last week! Don't shop at Walmart! Don't buy Zenith! Instead, go to Target, Albertson's, Smith's, Trader Joe's, Sprouts, Best Buy... Costco! I have been so wrong to go to Walmart, I know better now! I have shopped at all those stores in the last few months, and it has been a pleasure. Now that I am using my intelligence, I am seeing how often Walmart abuses customers and employees alike, and can no longer turn a blind eye to exposes I have seen on PBS documentaries, TV investigations and the NY Times. You don't have suffer needlessly or risk your safety, being treated like cattle, to get what you need! I feel like I am the last kid on the block to discover that. And there isn't any human [***] on the scooters at those other stores.
