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?

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.

[-] classic@fedia.io 19 points 6 months ago

Agreed on both points

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

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.

Is it just my client or is this picture really blurry?

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yea, it's a potato

Even downloaded it's really blurry.

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Not sure what lemmy did, but i added a full res link too

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I really have no idea why, I upload the original image to Lemmy and that's what came out 🤷

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

Yes, but Boost makes an interesting looking preview (when set to fixed height): Very tall chat image, with creative blank space

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.

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I was instructed to bring it to the store and would not receive my refund.

[-] citrusface@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Charge it back and unsub from Walmart + fuck em.

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

How do you charge back something you bought with ebt??

[-] Halosheep@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Hey man, mailing it to the corporate HQ just means that some hourly mailman and an hourly employee at the HQ now have to deal with it.

It's not like some exec will ever even know about that happening.

[-] citrusface@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Oh man you are right.

Guess the best plan of action is to eat the rich with it.

[-] TTH4P@lemm.ee 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] Boinkage@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Tell me you've never worked customer service without telling me you've never worked customer service.

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I have worked customer service.

[-] Boinkage@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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?

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Are you doing a surprised Pikachu face at having a poor customer experience with one of the most notoriously crappy companies out there?
