RE:

Just how am I supposed to know there is no carts until I get into the store?
Then I have to back out to get one?

New problem, no shopping carts... in the store.
This is in each of 5 visits I have made during the day since he took over.
Parking lot is loaded with them.
No one to go get them.

Yesterday, same.
A guy is sweeping the entrance area with a broom and dust pan.
I tell him, no carts in store
AGAIN.
He says one of the cart machines used to push them is broke, ok use the other one, he says no persons on duty who can use it.
I said OK, just go and get 5 or so at a time, as many as you can push.
His answer, thats not his job.
Unbelievable.

When I park my car, if I see lots of shopping carts, I usually grab one; Because. . . I'm walking that way anyway and figure they don't have an unlimited supply at the door.

But I understand your plight. I can't believe the attitude they give me when I expect them to wipe my butt when I use their restroom. Unbelieveable.

My Wal-Mart is showing the Sanyo 46'' LCD 1080p HDTV at $798. Anyone else?

same here. makes it an awesome deal.

Highly YMMV:

Requirements to satisfy.

1. You're able to get your hands on the limited quantity available PS3 this Saturday at WM. -thread

2. You have a new SonyCard with the $150 credit after $299 or more purchase promotion (recently expired, currently $50 credit at Sony Rewards) that you haven't used yet. -thread

3. You have $100 Discover Gift Cards from this Discover promotion. You have to make a $200 purchase to receive $20 GC at participating malls (limit 5 GCs per credit card account, 5*$20 = $100). Read the thread for details. -thread

4. You have a very limited time (until this Saturday) to get everything lined up so you can take advantage.

Get Sony PS3 for $49.99 + tax at WalMart

$399.99 + tax for Sony PS3
-$100 pay with Discover GCs
----------------------------------------
$299.99 balance, pay off with Sony Card
-$150 credit from Sony Card
-$100 WalMart GC
===================
$49.99 + tax total for Sony PS3 (YMMV)

Believe it. Unfortunately, my experience at Wallyworld tends to be the same. My Gripes:
1. It's often hard, to impossible, to find an employee (in the aisles) for customer assistance. Moral of this lesson for cheap Fatwalleters (like myself): Don't drop dead in a WalMart store. Your body will start to decay before you are discovered, and no amount of makeup by the morgue can cover up the footprints and shopping cart tracks left on your face. (Albeit - this is only true in stores which have shopping carts available).
2. It's good that Wallyworld has some of the lowest prices, because every since the replacement of the actual price tag on products (remember those circa 1972?), it's also sometimes hard to discover the price of some products. (Half of the products have 10-feet price signs, others have none). Look for a self-serve scanner.
3. WalMart has plenty of lawyers that could be pushing shopping carts! I live in a very small town that has a Wallyworld "Super-Center" that sells everything, yet they are currently building yet another Wallyworld on the other side of town (3 miles or less)! City residents and small businesses banded together and for 4 years repeatedly sued Wallyworld to keep this 2nd store from being developed, but our stupid 8 City Commissioners voted that they could not deny Wallyworld a developement license, because that wasn't their place to decide! Gosh, you'd think that a company that was not clearly wanted in excess in a city would go elsewhere, but no, they spent several million to outspend the opponents in court fees. Now, our small downtown businesses (where you can get personal customer service), are slowly going out of business. This is occurring all over the U.S.! Monopolization is not good.
4. Be a temporary Wallyworld employee (sort of): Self Service cashiering lanes means you can scan and bag your own items at Wallyworld (and save the environment too). That's also good, because when I go through a traditional checkout lane, and I buy just 5 items, Wallyworld employees always find a way to put them in 6 plastic bags!!! Since some plastic doesn't break down in the environment for decades, all those plastic Wallyworld bags in our landfills are like hidden advertisements for archaeologists in the future.

AzianFleeMarket said:Yes, at less than 300 bucks.. its better them little EE computers.

OMGWhy haven't we heard more about this? a 2 lb computer with a 15.4" screen,160GB of SSD memory for $300!!! Where do I get one! I'll go stand in line now!

Gosh how do they put it in such a small package? Small enough to stack with school books! I got't have one!!!

And it fits in my handlebar bag on my bicycle, and the available 5+ hour battery is sweet!

I've been calling Wally World but they don't have a clue what I'm talking about, are you sure it's better than the EE computers?

Perhaps it's green and you think it's a better color?

Or perhaps it's bigger and you think bigger is better, then again it's a laptop, kinda designed to carry around, so bigger as a preference might be counter intuitive...

Same here, pretty good reviews, may need to make a trip Saturday to see if I can get my hands on one.
