Walmart Connection Center

All Walmarts are pretty much the same.

Good I guess...it's a walmart lol.

Always have what I need at reasonable prices.

I love Walmart. The staff are very helpful and they are always stocked with the things that I need.

I wasn't a Walmart fan to begin with, but this experience just intensified my distaste for the corporate giant. I had thought Apple to be the worst when it came to marking up the price of a product, but upon trying to buy a simple accessory I'm no longer thoroughly convinced of that. I wanted to purchase a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter which is listed by Apple at $29. In store, it hung on a hook labeled $29, however, the cashier and her manager informed me that it was in the wrong place and is actually priced $49.99. Of course, I did not and will not purchase this product at that price! How ridiculous, coming from a company that offers price matching! Of course, none of this mattered to the cashier or her manager, and they struck me as a little rude about it. I know no one likes being wrong, especially at their place of employment. They come, day in and day out to do their job, and I'm sure they're aware of how they're supposed to be performing. I must say however, that they have fallen short of customer service standards. To top off the experience, I was charged $40 for a $5 rug and the product description on the receipt didn't even remotely match! Customer service most graciously corrected this for me, and were much more polite about it than the cashier. Even they were appalled that the cashier hadn't noticed this outrageous mistake in the computer. Needless to say, I will purchase directly from Apple or BestBuy, who I know will honor Apple's prices.
