Who thinks Wal Mart commercials are a joke?!


Question: I have been guilty of shopping americas largest retail outlet for groceries and clothing (specifically fruits and vegetables and socks and briefs) just as much as everyone else. I like it when I watch their commercials cause they are funny (kinda) and seem to have a lot of happy people employed there. I have never gone to a Wal Mart and run into any of these people who appear in the commercials. I know they are actors but somehow I get a sense of false advertisement of it being a happy place where all of my dreams will come true. It's kind of like seeing a Wendys spot on tv where I get to see this great looking burger but when it arrives it is nowhere near the picture. If you ask a Wal Mart employee for help you get this answer "I'm sorry, I don't work in this department" or "sir, someone in this department will come along in a minute" I have rarely seen a Wal Mart employee smile as they roll back those wonderful prices. Tell me what you think. (O_O)

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I totally agree.

Funny question!

Now, the ppl on the floor I have asked for help have truly been helpful. But the cashiers, whew, I got caught between three of them, one ringing up my purchases, the other two griping about how they had to work w/o help, this, that, yadda, yadda...I felt like screaming HELLOOOO! I AM STILL HERE! Now, I KNOW ppl gotta gripe and let off steam, but not in front of customers and their kids.

I do. Seeing as I worked for Wal-Mart as a cashier for 6 years, working there is anything BUT smiles! Even when I worked there, a lot of my co-workers were anything but pleasant. And like you've said, I always said "I don't know. I don't work in this department." I always went and got a manager or someone who does work in said department. Wal-Mart wants everyone to think that it's all peaches and cream but it's not. But some people are pulled in by the advertisements. And it is like false advertisement and at the same time, Wal-Mart is making $$.
