WALMART GREED, ONCE AGAIN! SORRY TO BE A BROKEN RECORD, but this is a good one. email to all the powers that be @ walmart, or all the powers i can reach, which ain't many. ;)

 ok, WHAT is going on? this order was PROMISED TO ME to be delivered TODAY!!  & normally (lately anyway), it would be here by NOW! it SAID 1 day shipping & i spent ALL of the rest of my money on this order, which has ALL of my food for today, tomorrow, etc. so now i have NOTHING TO EAT! now i have to go out & spend more money, that i DON'T have to buy myself shakes, etc. to be able to EAT TODAY & TOMMOROW (supposing this doesn't arrive at the crack of dawn, which it never does).

i buy from you guys once or twice a week, regularly now, for like 8 yrs or so? i have been nothing but a faithful customer!

yet, i have been screwed over numerous times, countless times, yet i still order from you, which has not been cheap or easy for many, many months now, as you have gotten insanely GREEDY w/your prices. you used to be as cheap, or almost as cheap as almost anyplace else, then your prices started doubling, tripling exponentially & where they stop no one seems to know. almost EVERYTHING i buy from you now, i can find cheaper prices at almost all of my local grocery stores. here's a good example: (1 of the very many), you have an air freshener that used to sell for .99 cents. not all that long ago. i bought it many times. it is now $30-40 & even more! for 1 can of air freshener! i literally saw 1 roll of bounty paper towels on your site for $80!!! i'm not kidding. some for up to $90. a short time after i bought the exact same one for 99 cent! what is that? a thousand percent markup? more? and as i stated, that is just ONE EXAMPLE! everything is like that! the muscle milk that i buy also doubled, tripled, quadrupled in record time! even amazon has been cheaper than you in many cases. that is crazy. who is minding the store, so to speak? the greed police?

if you're not careful, you will lose ALL of your customers. 

the last time i was at the grocery store, a couple days ago, i purchased hydrogen peroxide, toothpaste and a tooth brush, EACH of them i would have normally purchased from you, but you have lost your mind with your prices on most items & i literally paid 1/10th of what you would have charged me on EACH of those items!

WHAT IS GOING ON WALMART? i know there has been inflation, as of late, but there is price raising & then there is price raping & you are raping, in tons of cases. no, i am not referring to 3rd party sellers either. so don't try to tell yourselves that that is what i'm referring to. it's YOU! 

you save SO much money on your staffing, your customer service, you outsource it to ANY country buy America, to pay pennies on the dollar i'm sure, to not employ US citizens. you don't care about your own country's citizens? how much people are struggling to get by, to pay their bills, to simply LIVE/exist! why aren't u paying american's to do your customer service? in all the times i've called, i have talked to someone in every country BUT the USA. i've asked them, each of them, where they live, none here, that's for sure. i have NOTHING against other countries. i'm not racist or prejudice either. i care about people all over this earth, but isn't there a saying about taking care of your backyard before you take care of others? something to that effect. you know what i'm talking about. 

i'm not going to bother re-reading this to edit or spell check or anything. i never use spell check or anything, i edit myself always, but i'm a hurry, so forgive any bad grammar or structure. i am going to CC this to all the walmart email addresses that i have in hopes that someone will get their head out of their booty, so to speak, & address these plentiful issues. i haven't even gone into delivery issues, bad employee training & all of that, but you guys need like a gordon ramsey "kitchen nightmares" type person for businesses to come in & do a big OVERHAUL. i know the bottom line for you & all big corporations IS greed & the almighty dollar, so perhaps you are thrilled, pleased, overwhelmingly happy with your business & where you have gone with it? could be. BUT, any business, any successful business SHOULD be just as concerned w/their customers AND their customer service & their customer's happiness & sustainability, regarding prices & everything else. if you are BREAKING your customers & making them unhappy, you should be highly concerned! i can speak for myself, you have made me EXTREMELY UNHAPPY! mostly w/your prices, as i've already stated very clearly, though you needs lots of work elsewhere, bottom line for me as well is PRICE! & i don't like being raped. 

sincerely,

Julie Trotter 

WALMARTS GREED CONTINUES, IT KNOWS NO BOUNDS.....& i thought they had already peaked in their greed recently, but nope

 check THIS shit out: WALMART: $106 for 1 roll of paper towels! i copied/pasted it. what a GREAT DEAL! omg! unbelievable. know what else tics me off? the TP & PT math. 3 double rolls=6! 6 double=12, etc. Nooo it still equals 2 or 3 or 6!

besides that, wamart in general has started to lose their minds! they have up'd & doubled their prices like nobodies biz. later in covid, they started raising things, then when inflation hit, oh shit! they started REALLY going big! there are .99 cent cans of air freshener (for example) that are selling for up to $40! no joke. 1 can! that was 99 cents. same w/crystal light. same w/almost everything. most things have DOUBLED in price, but that $106 roll of paper towels really took the cake for me. SO GREEDY!! god, i hate greed!! causes so much death, destruction & suffering in this world!
oh here is what i copied from walmart's site:

Get ONE$106.14BountyBounty Select-A-Size Paper Towels, White, 1 Double Rolls

how some 3rd party sellers on AMAZON bend us over!...

 this is from a message I was just sending to this asshat company on amazon. u can read the deal here. bought an alarm clock from them, 9 days ago now *& i have prime, u know 1 day shipping, etc.. just a side note....oh, i was leaving a lovely review for them, as i wait impatiently......

i purchased this clock from them NINE DAYS AGO NOW! it delivers from Los Angeles TO Los Angeles, where i'm also at. there is a delivery estimate time of May 1-11th. okay, i LIVE in LA where it's coming from. it was shipped about 8 days ago. again, from LA TO LA! but guess what? they want to really charge u for shipping, which i happily paid, i NEED this clock desperately & was SO happy/excited to see it was coming FROM LA, my city, but nope...what they do is SAY it's shipped, but then someone sits on it til it's "delivery time" (they were charging $40 for me to receive it sooner. they sit on ur purchase & make u wait for no reason at all. it's HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I contacted amazon re this days ago, they were going to contact them & refund my shipping & insist they deliver it in a more timely manner & yet, here i sit. nothing delivered STILL! 9 DAYS IN THE SAME CITY BUT I CAN'T GET MY ORDER! don't we have enough problems in life, for these "people to add to them w/this asinine BS? i think we do. in fact, i KNOW we do!

WALMART new nightmare! took this from a review they asked me to complete (so u have context)

i clicked that i would NOT recommend walmart to others, cuz the same day that i placed that order, another order WEEKS before, was destroyed in transit wks before & no one had done anything! no notification, replacement, refund, nothing! i, as usual, had to track it down myself, contact walmart myself (which i am currently doing this moment as i'm typing, cuz 1st person i called screwed it up & NEVER DID WHAT HE SAID!), sit on the phone for 1/2 hr & beg for a replacement. again, w/someone who's english u can barely understand, cuz apparently people in OTHER countries work for cheaper than americans. us pesky american who need a living wage! so, yes, Taha, my 1st call told me i would receive a replacement the following day, tues: feb 21st. sent me a follow up email re my call. guess what? NO REPLACEMENT! no nothing. so, here i am 5 days later making the same call. been on the line 15 minutes so far, w/another man who speaks so fast w/such a strong accent i can't understand. i wrote this few days ago. i spent 2 HRS on phone waiting 4 help! & the bitch that FINALLY got on the line, after my 2 hrs of sitting on the phone, didn't apologize for the screw up OR the wait time, or her attitude OR anything. i spend SO much time contacting walmart & being on the phone w/walmart over THEIR mistakes, etc. that i should be getting a paycheck from them! no joke. i could fill out a time sheet easily. matter of fact, she barely helped me at all. in summation, i ended up spending about 2 weeks & 4 hrs tracking, calling & trying to get this item resolved & resent to me, all for naught. i got a refund, way after the fact. a month later. 

ps. the above remarks are NOT racist. i think that anyone who is serving as "customer service" should be understandable & if they are working in/for an english speaking country, they should speak english. simple as that. and i'm a person who LOVES foreigners & accents & usually am charmed by them & ask them about the origin of their name, about their country, etc etc. if i went to france, u can bet your ass i would be trying my damndest to speak french *i took 3 yrs of it, but don't speak it. can read some, understand some, but speaking blech. not so much. u use it or lost it*, my point is, that is what u do. especially if i was WORKING IN FRANCE! i would not be expecting everyone to speak english, etc. 

an old close friend of mine from chile used to always tell me that i was the only person he knew that helped him w/his english without judging him, or making fun of him, as almost everyone else did. 1. why would that do that? that's not only rude, but mean! 2. why is it funny? i can see some humorous thing here or there but u should be laughing WITH them, not AT them! like when my sister & i were in oregon visiting our family & seeing our alzheimer's stricken grandma for the last time. my grandma was sitting next to me at a table outside (we were having a potluck kinda thing) & she kept picking up food off of her plate, then putting it down on mine & vice versa. just picking up food all over the place then putting it back in wrong place, she was just that way then, i just helped her & gently would hand her what she wanted or tell her things. meanwhile, my sister was LAUGHING HER ASS OFF  AT MY GRANDMA! I MEAN oops, caps, for a long time at everything right in my grandma's face. she was ready to pee herself, thought it was the funniest thing in the world. i did NOT find it funny. i found it said & i only felt tender feelings towards my grandma (she remembered me thank God!).

my point being, that while we all are judgmental & have our judgments, i as well, of course. i judge myself harshly above all, but i am 1 of the least judgmental or racists people you'll ever meet. sure, we all have bad stuff like that ingrained in us, but we try to get it out, be aware of it u know? 

ok i've rambled on all over the place as usual but i'm in a hurry & was trying to make my points. i didn't even get to send the damn review TO walmart, i let it sit there a couple days, cuz i had to leave my computer & was wanting to come back & edit it, finish it, squeeze in the proper communication in the limited amount of character space i had. noboby probably even would read it u know? just look at stars clicked & move on. much like my blogs here. i should publicize them if i want them read? i will. maybe? ok cheer to all .:)

WEAPONS, WEAPONS, WEAPONS.........(yes quoting a song. it fits, though i DO like the song, but hey it's just a SONG!) :)

 what's happening is SHOOTINGS, SHOOTINGS, SHOOTINGS!! constantly! mental illness doesn't have bullets, u can't point ur finger & go "bang" & KILL PEOPLE! yet no one EVER wants to get rid of guns. hey let's #GETRIDOFGUNS what a concept eh? or make MUCH stricter laws very minimum!

ps. classified documents. everyone has fucking classified documents now. geez. were they just handing them out as people left the white house each time? as for biden, i don't mind really. if u work somewhere, that nature of biz & u work @ home too, ur bound to have documents around. as for he who shall not be named (not voldemort) everything he does is shady & undermining, so has a TOTALLY different connotation! yep.

so LET'S FUCKING GET RID OF GUNS ONCE & FOR ALL. I'M ALL FOR GOING HOUSE TO HOUSE & REMOVING ANY WEAPONS NOT LICENSED TO OWNER & ALL AUTOMATIC OR SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS. UNLESS UR IN A WAR THERE IS ZERO NEED FOR THOSE WEAPONS TO BE OWNED BY YOUR AVERAGE JOE!! not a bit.

oh look, or listen, they are talking about ONE of the shootings AGAIN in the background behind me on the news. that's all we do for yrs now, just report the latest in constant shootings. nothing is done. ever. there is talk & more talk of mental illness, which is not always the case, if ever! everyone has problems & bad ideas & so on. there are soooo many aspects to all of it. mental illness. but guns? no. not so many aspects. they kill. bottom line. period. & period.

Review thingy, questionnaire from receipt type deal for panda express to COMPLAIN about their prices & quality. & WHO can afford ANYTHING anymore?

 i already stated why: quality of food, though it DID get somewhat better recently, BUT now u raised ur already sky high prices! no way. there is an in-&-out burger RIGHT next to u there & it's lined around in about 30 cars CONSTANTLY, while you, panda has ZERO cars in line. i look every time i pass by at both. i pointed it out to your cashier, which i hear staff has been cut too. why? u raised ur prices even more, it wasn't worth it to begin with & then u cut down on staffing? so corporate can collect all the money? u don't give out coupons, just seem run by pure greed! if u have quality & fair pricing, u will have lines like in & out. if u gouge us for not great food, u can kiss ur biz goodbye, like last drive thru place that was there before u! i am ticked off! felt tricked when i placed my order! i could also go on & on about lack of quality, but i touched on it, most important issues & u know! if u keep up on your biz & not just ur WALLET! *i could get a healthy, fresh delicious FISH dinner nearby for same price! that's what i will be doing from now on!

btw, i had NEVER been to a panda express in my LIFE! not once! i don't generally eat fast food. it's a very rare occurrence. now i really see why. i can't believe the prices of some/all of these places, that i've checked out personally, asked friends or looked up. wtf? 

is there gold in this food? is it served on jesus' shoe? does it come w/a motorcycle? haha. i ripped off most of that line, cuz it's funny & oh so true!

they asked on their survey what did i think of the changes that panda express had brought to the location in response to the current health crisis. WTF? what is THAT supposed to mean? or be about? i have no clue. covid? homeless people? starving children & adults? if any of those are the case, then what & why would they have contributed ANYTHING to any health crisis? matter of fact, they've made it worse! i was telling the cashier (who told me they cut her & everyone else's hours & they couldn't even afford to eat the food themselves! which so have the workers at Sprouts told me. how can u work for a place, especially a MARKET & u can't afford to buy any of their food? that is insane!

i was telling the panda chick that we are all so concerned w/the homeless, but w/the prices of everything these days, this horrid inflation, gas, rent, ,property, etc. that we were ALL gonna be homeless at this rate!! 

this was my actual response: which health crisis? covid? the other epidemics? starving children? starving adults? the homeless? i'm not sure what health crisis u are referring to. i'm even MORE unsure as to how u, an overpriced, under-qualitied fast food restaurant would help ANY health crisis? by creating one? making everyone so broke that we ALL become unhealthy and/or homeless? i truly don't understand how u can include or refer to yourself as helping or "responding" to a health crisis. that boggles my mind!

(oh i see, apparently they celebrated the chinese lunar new year recently & did something nice or offered a discount of 30 cents off or something? haha. yeah, they are ALL about the health of the community & the world! my mistake.)

i'm sure they won't like me very much, but who cares? i don't know them, they don't know me. they are a corporation, a greedy corporation preying on people (like most corps these days) for their own greed! yes, i know we are a capitalist country, blah blah, but there is a difference between making a buck, making a living, even a good, healthy one (see wealthy one), & that's all good & generally fair, but being SO greedy that u r bending people over & such, cuz ur 1 & only concern is money, that's a different animal altogether in my opinion. 

i've rambled on enough. gonna post now. only for myself? does anyone read these? guess i need to tell others eh? ;)

PLEASE CONTINUE TO MUTE R. *STANDS FOR RAPIST* KELLY!

 that's all. enough said. #pleasecontinuetomuteRKelly 

for obvious reasons. like the original #muteRKelly

Have u seen the IDIOTS who stand outside of the courtroom fighting FOR r. kelly & his "innocence". it/they are RIDICULOUS! just like the fools who used to do the same for OJ & Michael Jackson. just because u love someone's music doesn't mean that they are a GOOD person or a GOD or a perfect person. they all have faults & failings like all of us. imperfect people. 

as someone who was raped/molested himself (R. Kelly) one would think & hope that that would make him ANTI rapist & molester, etc. unfortunately, he went that way himself & ENCOURAGED all of his sick & twisted lusts & fantasies & allowed himself to RUN WITH THEM & scoop up as many young girls as his heart desired. with help from ALL of his trusty employees. greed is a funny thing. money can buy morals as well. 

ok, i left this open for days, have MUCH more to say on this matter, but i'm gonna post it for now & hopefully come back & add to it. 

thanks for reading! :)

ANIMAL RESCUE/SICK KIDS MONEY RAISING COMMERCIALS. (Especially the months around the holidays!) & TRUMP & R. KELLY (THE R STANDS FOR RAPIST!)

 question: u know how we r FLOODED w/the sad kids & sad/mistreated animal commercials this time of yr? don't commercials cost MILLION$? so instead of playing these ad nauseam Y don't they use the MILLIONS 4 commercials FOR the sad/sick kids & dogs? yes i know it's fund raising but,,,?

doesn't it seem counterintuitive. (when did these sites start offering auto-filling on what ur typing?)
can't they use the millions they spend on the commercials,( cuz c'mon they air these things like every 5 minutes for months! & i don't even WATCH commercials! so if i'm catching them this much, they r on constantly!) & spend that $ ON the saving of kids & pets & use a much cheaper manner of fund raising? plus u don't know where ur money is going w/many of these places.
st judes for example is a miracle, a total GIFT to children. thanks to danny thomas & margo thomas. they can fund raise all they want. well, anyone can of course. they do NOT charge children or families for treatment, they are ANGELS! & i'm a member of the ASPCA, but i wonder about them even. they always want $, always need $. i know that's how a non-profit works, but what r they paying themselves? i can *& have* go rescue dogs & cats for a hell of a lot cheaper than they do.
just thinking aloud. what say all of any of u? 

oh & i'm a bit perplexed that they do it so hardcore in the months of the holidays (thanksgiving, x-mas, etc.). i'm sure they figure "oh everyone is already buying gifts & in the giving spirit at this time, so let's hit 'em hard now, when they really wanna give, give, give!" but to my thinking (though i get that partially & it's probably true to a small extent at least..), everyone is already over-spending & being SO stressed out by the pressure of the holidays & running themselves into debt & so on, the LAST thing they want or need to do is give MORE $$. that's my thinking on the timing, but i'm no non-profit focus groupie or expert. so yeah.
oh & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!! let's hope it's gonna be a GREAT new year, good 'ol (or new) 2023 & at least see the end of COVID & even better: the END OF TRUMP! let's put him in a canister & throw him out to sea. or send him to a deserted island, where he can talk to himself to death & be his full-fledged, egomaniac, lying, full of shit, narcissistic self. or better yet, let's get his ass TO PRISON where it belongs for his countless crimes!!!! no self tanner, makeup, orange tanner spray or orange hair dye in prison don. wah wahhhh ;) he's gonna be as gray & dingy as his soul, if he has one. fucker. oh ps. #PLEASE CONTINUE TO MUTE R.KELLY!
