Walmart

I used to work there and refuse to go there ever again. I put in my two weeks July 2020 and I haven’t gone there since. I refuse to step foot in any Walmart ever.

offspring515 replied:
Yep. After I lost my job I got a job doing stock at Walmart until I could find something in my field.

The hiring manager told me he could give me about 30 hours a week and he knew I needed to work overnights or weekend shifts because of my wife's work schedule so I could watch our young son.

After a week of this they schedule me for 12 hours the next week. 3 noon to 4 pm shifts.

I go to my manager and explain the two issues. Not enough hours and hours I cannot work.

He shrugged his shoulders.

Like a fool I went along with it. I was desperate for any money coming in as my wife was just returning to the work force after six months and I lost my job right before she went back. We finagled it so my father-in-law could watch our son that week.

The next schedule comes out and I have 16 hours and all morning shifts. These I can't work at all because my FIL's work schedule wouldn't allow him to help and he was the only local relative we had who could watch our son. We couldn't afford (and didn't really trust tbh) outside help.

I go to my manager again and he starts to chew me out for complaining about the schedule. I lost it on him.

"[MOTHER-SHUT-YOUR-FILTHY-MOUTH] YOU'RE THE ONE WHO PROMISED ME 30 HOURS AND OVERNIGHTS WHEN I STARTED TWO WEEKS AGO! BUT I GUESS YOUR WORD IS LIKE THIS STORE A BUNCH OF [FUDGING BULLPIES]!"

I am very easy going. I do not get upset like that with people. Especially not in a semi public place where others can hear it. But the combo of no sleep because of a new baby at home, stress over losing the lions share of our income unexpectedly and this a-hole lying to me then chewing me out for asking how we could fix it was too much.

He just stood there stunned and I walked out of the store never to return. [F] Walmart and their scummy tactics, anti union [BS] and the lies they tell poor, desperate people to keep them working there.

Yuuup my mom with medical issues had to move to a new area where there wasn't much for work, she got hired at a walmart. She was always on time and had no problems, she was a door-greeter. She had an allergic reaction to a cleaner that wasn't part of her job to use but she was just doing what she was told. She asked for accommodation so she didn't have to use that chemical or be around it, she was told yes, it would be done. Then the next day a manager changes her mind and fires my mom instead. Even after my mom was told she would be given accommodation. I've never liked Walmart much and avoided it as much as I could, but now I'm never giving those jerks money for the rest of my life. I know they're still one of America's biggest retailers so my not going isn't anything to them but I couldn't give money to such a garbage corporation. After that incident my uncle who's from the south told me half his family was screwed working for Walmart too.

Person Online Asks "What’s A Company You Refuse To Support And Why?", And 30 Folks Deliver State Farm.

Before we met, my wife was in a car accident that permanently damaged her neck, forcing her to drop out of college and abandon her dream to play violin professionally, and requiring her to get an injection in her neck twice a year for the rest of her life. She's been in a 4-year legal battle with State Farm as shes entitled to over $100k since she was no way at fault for it.

But they will not budge and keep demanding ridiculous things from her. Next month she's actually scheduled to fly back to the state where the accident happened so she can undergo a 10-hour psychological analysis (when she asked her attorney why they're asking for that, he pretty much said "because they can"). State Farm also recently requested she shoot a video of her attempting to play the violin and then talking to me about how it make her feel that she can't play it painlessly anymore. In a recent deposition, they actually asked her if she had intentions to get medical treatment were they to award her with the money back when it happened. They even at one point asked for a printout of everything she ever posted, commented on, or messaged on Facebook so they have proof her life was indeed affected by the accident (fortunately her lawyer talked them out of that one). The list of demands from State Farm gets more and more insane.

They've become such a pain but we've made the decision to fight it out as long as we can, because giving up is what they want us to do, and we want to prove to insurance companies that they can't screw over their clients like this. So yeah. Screw State Farm (and honestly most insurance companies)

To clarify, she has had a lawyer since the day after the accident, separate from State Farm, and he isn’t getting paid a dime until the settlement is met. State Farm was her insurance; the other guy’s insurance paid out $25k which barely covered her initial doctor’s bills. She filed an underinsured motorist claim, which is what she’s currently in the lawsuit over.

- stadium scams: they threaten to move the team unless the city gives them a new stadium at basically the taxpayers expense. Atlanta took money from their public schools to fund a stadium that they get 0% back on .
- taxes are never what is promised. A city has never made money on a stadium. The tax revenue has never been enough to cover the investment.
- use of eminent domain to build these stadiums
- concussion coverup
- use of slave labor to the point that CBP (American customs) has rejected shipments of official NFL merchandise because it is illegal to import anything made by slave labor into the US
- many of the BLM shirts that the NFL (and to be fair the the NBA) were wearing were traced back to Haiti where black children were making these shirts for pennies an hour.
- Total disregard for CTE, as soon as it became apparent that safer helmets weren't going to work they tried to hide it, then they got "lucky" with the protests.
- most employees of the stadiums employee people at poverty wages in major cities, most are the minimum wage
- cheerleaders getting paid minimum wage (or less)
- the NFL does not give a [frick] about domestic violence, there is more of a penalty for players who dance in the end zone than who beat women.
- alumni of the NFL get arrested at rates much higher than other sports team's alumni.

Wells Fargo. They have scammed their customers so many times (including opening fraudulent accounts) and paid millions of dollars in fines and just keep doing it anyway.

Morgueannah replied:
Before the whole scandal dropped about opening accounts, I interviewed for a teller job at Wells Fargo. During the interview, I was told in order to get a "jump start" on the yearly goals, all tellers were expected to get "all of your family and friends" to make new Wells Fargo accounts each January. I forget the precise number but it was more than 20 new accounts in one month (and you couldn't count the accounts you actually got while working from clients looking for services). When I said that none of my family lived in state they got really hostile, talking about how I'd have to commit to having them make accounts at a bank 500 miles away if I wanted to be considered for the job.

I walked out of that interview confidently knowing I would never bank with Wells Fargo if their poor tellers were under that much pressure to upsell me on everything. I was so far from shocked when I found out what was happening because just the idea of being put under that much pressure made me walk away from the interview. I could definitely see that as something people that actually accepted the job would sink to to get those managers off their backs.

It kills me that their shoes are made in sweat shops in Asian countries. They don’t manufacture anything in the USA.

I remember when kids were getting jumped at their bus stops and their shoes stolen off their feet-this was a recurring news story for awhile.

John Deer is overpriced garbage and they don't honor their warranties. F-I-L bought a brand new JD yard tractor. I came over and mowed his yard exactly 3 times.

Loaded it up, took it to the John Deer place and they had the nerve to tell me it because of "Bad gas" and that's not covered on warranty. I said it's brand new gas! Fix it! They swore it was bad gas. I said, load it up, I'm leaving. Took it to a small engine repair place that I trust and the fuel pump was bad. JD refused to cover it. Assholes.

Person Online Asks "What’s A Company You Refuse To Support And Why?", And 30 Folks Deliver Lenovo from this point on. Absolutely abysmal customer service and desktop PC’s. It died after 7 months, a tech came out to repair it 3 times and failed. The final repair attempt was a new CPU (that’s important for later)

Lenovo wanted me to send the PC back to their depot and told me it may be 2-4 months before I get it back. I needed a PC so that wouldn’t work and asked for a refund since the PC was still under warranty.

Lenovo closed out my case as “resolved” and ignored me. I tried again and the same thing happened. Even though it was under warranty, they closed out my case.

I tried a third time and got transferred between every department imaginable for two hours before someone finally said this treatment is ridiculous and agreed to help me. I never heard anything else.

Now, I’m trained as an IT field tech and thought maybe I could revive the thing. Turns out the tech bent two pins on the CPU and killed it and the motherboard. Then I noticed Lenovo had sent a dual core Athlon 200GE to replace my Ryzen 3200G!

I called again and was told that there was nothing they could do since it was out of warranty. I mentioned the incorrect part, and that all of this happened under warranty and it was never resolved. They still didn’t help.

The ONLY way I got any help was to file a complaint through the Better Business Bureau. It got sent to a Lenovo case manager who was able to verify everything in my complaint using their call logs and even sees where they sent the wrong part. She said I should have received a full refund the very first time I asked.

I’m finally getting my money back after a year of fighting with this damn company.

Before you purchase a Lenovo product, read their BBB page to see what you’re getting into. This was the second nightmare repair ordeal I’ve had with Lenovo and that’s enough for me.

If you have nice stuff I'd say look at the more upscale thrift stores or consignment places since they are selective in what they take, which to me hopefully means they are more likely to sell the item than throw them away.

These sites are all useless. Try datingbuzz and zoosk. They let you have much more control over what search and match criteria - even down to details like height, hair colour, religion, etc. Tinder in particular is utterly useless. It just lets you match on distance, pretty much nothing else.

There are many nice people on FB who have posted their personal information. Find one or more that you like and request "friend" status. If you decide you don't want anything to do with them, later, just unfriend them.

This was a long time ago. But as a former tax examiner, I can tell you that a whopping portion of tax returns i handled were filed by people who would be owed thousands in credits and deductions for children, which the IRS would've happily given them, except they paid $50 to use H&R Blockheads. See, when you use a tax preparer, you assert the taxes are done correctly, and the IRS can no longer presume you just didn't realize you had thousands of dollars coming to. H&R Block doesn't want to spend 3 seconds asking about kids, so millions upon millions of taxpayers got ripped typically around $4,500 each.

I ordered twice off PLT. It’s insanely bad quality, I sew for fun and one thing they consistently do is sew ragged/wave like hems, uneven straps on tops and one that annoyed the hell out of me - a plus size 16au skirt I ordered to sew into my size (size 4-6au cos it was out of stock in other sizes). The ‘PLUS’ size “16” skirt had half an inch maybe from my waist, making it a solid au 8-10 - imagine being a lovely size 16 and ordering this skirt to feel sexy in, only to see it has a 29 inch waistline, I’d be pisssssed. But the child labour makes sense on why it’s so bad

Amen, friend. It's a hard road not supporting Blue Bell considering I live in Texas, but they chose profits over human lives. They knew their product was contaminated by listeria and did nothing. Not. One. Thing. Because of that, 3 people died. They may have had underlying issues, sure, but shoving listeria in their mouths wasn't doing them any favors. I understand food contamination will be a growing issues as our supply chain increasing becomes single source, but this isn't that: Blue Bell knew the entire time.

Person Online Asks "What’s A Company You Refuse To Support And Why?", And 30 Folks Deliver Rockstar because I’m holding a petty grudge against one of their employees.

[Screw] you, Flapjack.

So, Flapjack is the username of a guy that was brought into our gaming clan/discord by a mutual friend/member. He was some kind of team lead in development at Rockstar working on RDR2 at the time and the guy that brought him in was an acquaintance that was hoping Flap could get him a job at Rockstar at some point. I didn’t like Flap from the start. He was an arrogant know-it-all who threw his job status right in your face and demanded you worship him about it. Most of the guys in the clan kinda did, but I couldn’t stand the guy.

So one day in discord Flap made a claim that Romania is over 2,000 miles from Russia. Apparently there are Romanian characters in one of the GTA games or something and he was [upset] that everyone was mistaking those characters as Russian. Well, of course I immediately challenge this arrogant [know-it-all] on it. Romania 2,000 miles from Russia? Get real. The fallout was swift. He immediately [jumped] back at me, because the geographical center of Russia is 2,000 miles from the geographical center of Romania, what kind of peasant must I be to measure the distance between two nations by the distance between their closest borders? Everyone knows you determine that distance by geographical center! I decided I’d had enough of the guy so I carried on the argument until he got too [infuriated] to continue and he left the clan, but not before he had some choice words for me.

A few of the clan members followed him out but maintained a friendship with me. When they wouldn’t denounce me, Flap had the same kind of meltdown toward them, banned them from his discord.

A few months later I reached out to Flap just to try to clear the air a bit. I apologized to him and said I wished things had gone differently. He said he appreciated the gesture but I can still get [bent].

I still sleep fine at night knowing Romania isn’t anywhere near 2,000 miles from Russia.

Amazed not to see my two personal favourites: McDonald's (too much to possibly put here about their international practices, destruction of rain forest, disgusting, inedible food that is killing people, adhering to the bare minimum of standards in each country, oh there's just too much). Have never bought or consumed anything from McDonald's in all my 55 years. Exxon is the other. When I was pregnant I ran out of petrol (broken gauge) and I pushed my car past the Exxon garage because I feel that strongly about boycotting them. Just look up what happened after the Exxon Valdez spill. Then there's things like Chik-Fil-A and Barrilla and Hobby Lobby who are basically supporting homophobia. I have a list!

I’m not sure if it would be considered a company, but the f*****g Olympics. None of the Games have been within their estimated budget since the 60’s which ends up costing the host cities and countries $billions extra. Then all of the stadiums are arenas are just left to fall into disarray. And the worst is the incredible amount of displacement that occurs in host cities. In 2008 Beijing, it’s estimated around 1.5 million people were forcibly evicted and their neighborhoods demolished to make room for the Games. They do more harm than good and need to end.

Apple. Their original company philosophy was "It's all about the customer." They always claimed they made quality products that were tested thoroughly to ensure they worked the first time and providing quality customer care, unlike Microsoft. Then the iPod made money and turned into a company 10 times worse than Microsoft.

HR Block. Had my taxes done by them for the first time in 2009 (for my taxes from 2008) because I had gone on SSDI halfway through the year and had applied and got granted to get my student loans forgiven, due to a permanent disability. Not only did they overcharge me by adding a charge for every "extra" form that needed to be printed/signed, but they failed to submit one of the most crucial forms. As a result, the $70,000 in student loans that was forgiven was reported to the state by the IRS as income, and the state came after me for taxes on it, plus late fees. I fought it for 3 years on my own, bc despite the HR Block guarantee that they'd be your advocate if the IRS came after you, they refused to help, saying the form "never existed" in the first place. It got to where the IRS was threatening a lien on my SSDI check, taking my license away, and talking about an arrest warrant for tax evasion. I finally gotmiy settled w the help of a lawyer, who proved it was HR Block's f*** up, and got the correct info to the IRS. So much stress and fear for 3 years, because of one form and one mistake they refused to admit they made. F*** them.

Home Depot. Was promised full time. Day of hire told part time as they can't hire full time outsiders. But would be made full time in about 30 days. Then told would be one Saturday a month as there were 4 of us now (pro desk). So nice rotating. Wound up 6 am solo til 8 am when first kid would come in and never say hello but get on the one desk w a chair an play on computer or text til next kid came in at 10 am. Then they would gossip an go wander the store for two hours til the next person came in. I'd watch the 10 am person clock in sometimes and go right back out the door to go grocery shopping for 45-60 mins an come back w a cart full from the shop rite next door. Or she would pack stuff at her computer terminal to "buy" later but walk out with stolen. Or say she was sick and when my shift was over I'd see her bouncing over to Marshalls to shop. Not sick then. And I'd wind up with 3 saturdays a month. When I quit I found out those two put in for ever

Any brand name clothing company. The prices are ridiculous and all because their name is on it. The problem is that folks wont stop buying these items and so prices continue to go up. Guess is one example...that's not even a high end store and a simple shirt will cost over $100. Harley Davidson another...cheap, shoddy clothing that falls apart (I have gotten good quality clothes there but I'd say that's only half the time)..I have stopped shopping at both. Also, any social media platform...they're destroying our youth and if anything, make people more depressed and desperate for attention.
