That won't be good enough.

I purchased a jump-start battery from my local Walmart. The one I bought was the only one on the shelf and the packaging looked perfect.

When I got it home I discovered that the unit inside had been used extensively. There was significant wear on the plastic ears to which the battery clips attach and one of them was chipped off.

Someone had evidently used their unit extensively, purchased a new one, substituted the used one for the new, and returned the package for a full refund.

I was greatly disappointed in Walmart that they began the process of refunding my money (since they had no other new units) by suspecting ME. The issue was resolved pretty quickly when I described what I thought happened to a supervisor. I challenged them to check their records and IDENTIFY who the culprit was. Walmart should use video and other means to stop this fraud.

Last year I bought several gift cards to restuarant chains and gave them out. One card did not work as the Wal Mart receipt had a different number than the card. It was a screw up by Wal Mart, yet they would not refund the $30.

I have quit shopping at Wal Mart, where I usually purchased my prescriptions and other items to the tune of approximately $10,000 a year.

Wal Mart can go to hell as far as I am concerned. I expect by the time I die (using mortality tables) that $30 Wal Mart stole from me will cost them about a quarter million dollars. I know that means nothing to them, but I happily tell everyone I know to not shop at Wal Mart.
