I am not a big fan of Walmart and I avoid shopping there when possible (for my own ethical reasons and I know you would probably find huge holes in my reasoning). But, I needed to buy a booster seat, soy yogurt, and get my oil changed. Where else can I get that done, and get my car vacuumed, too?
So, after checking my car in, I go buy my stuff. They haven't called my name, so I stall and hang out for 30 min. in that area with the arcades while Kyle pretends to drive a car. I finally head back, but they tell me they are still not done. Another 10 min. Okay. I let Kyle ride one of the tricycles around for another 30 min, waiting for my name to be called. So is my car done? Nope. When I show up to pay, the lady tries to ring me up, but it won't work. I wait another 10 min. (pretending to read a magazine so I stay calm and friendly). Then they figure out that they have never actually done the oil change. What!??!! I have been in the store almost 2 hours, and it still hasn't been done? It is not even a busy day! After the lady goes to the back for another 10 min, I have to go find her, because I am going to be late picking up kids from preschool if I stay 1 min. longer. GRRRR! This is the 2nd time something like this has happened, and I only shop there probably 5 times a year.
On the positive side, another lady waiting at the auto shop leaned over and informed me quietly that she was a secret shopper. Yeah, write that down.

I just found your blog and I so I am going to leave you a comment and let you know that I rarely shop at Wal-mart because I do not like that place very much. I try and avoid it also. So I completely agree with you. Check out my blog. It is http://bamoss.blogspot.com
I am opposite of YOU! I am sorry you have had this bad day there. I LOVE Wally's and shop quite frequently there. Although I have never done the automotive side and from the sounds of your story I better still get my oil changed and Jiffy Lube!!! They usually have me out of there in 15 mins! Smile at least you learned a lesson to NOT go back :o)
I also hate walmart! I'm a big fan of small businesses and would rather walmart didn't exist. Walmart just represents something for me, every time I walk through the doors (which isn't often) I cringe inside. Mental, I know. But like everyone else, we end up there during Christmas, doing the hunt down. I need to stop that.
