Why do Wal-Mart cashiers push the Wal-Mart Mastercard so hard? I think it's annoying.

Dec 30th, 2012 09:37 PM #6It actually does get annoying, even for me. The reason they push it so hard is because management is up there butts about it. Although my store has got less serious about it, I still do see it at a lot of other stores. Also, the cashiers are actually given incentives for it. Each cashier gets $4 added to each paycheck for every application, and sometimes we hold monthly or weekly challenges for the cashiers, for example who ever gets the most for that time frame gets a gift card, or something similar. But from a customers perspective, I know it's annoying but remember that it's management that you should be pissed at! Hope that answers your question Originally Posted by sears_sucks

OK here you go. 3 Qs.
What is the return period on an unopened PS3? And what is it if I have opened it? What happens if I have opened it and have opened the accompanying game but now want to return the whole thing? Reply With Quote

I've always wanted to start one of these threads for Walmart too. I didn't do it because I doubt I would be able to keep up with all the activity one of these threads would generate as RFD *loves* Walmart.
While I wasn't a CSM, I had been with the company for almost a decade (throughout high-school and undergrad) before I quit for my post-graduate studies. I had been in a variety of positions (all low level) within a store from the salesfloor to the front end (most recently at Customer Service).
Can't wait to see the firestorm this generates.
EDIT: Hope the OP doesn't mind if I chime in from time to time since I have a little time now. Once school starts again, I'll disappear.

Dec 30th, 2012 09:51 PM #10Return policy for all video game consoles open/unopen is 30 days. And as for your open game, honestly it all depends on your luck. Certain managers/CSMs have no problem doing it as it becomes useless to you, others follow the policy tightly. If that were to happen, try asking for an exchange of the same game for a different console. Hope that helps! Originally Posted by coolguy007

Dec 30th, 2012 09:53 PM #11While every store does have its little nuances and variations of the return policy, when I dealt with game consoles, it was always 30 days. It is fine if it's open, even the accompanying games (a pretty big exception), but we'll check the hardware out to make sure nothing fishy is going on. The receipt is a must or there is very slim chance (I'd say zero chance, but nothing is ever impossible in retail) of success. Originally Posted by coolguy007

Is there a lot of fraud happening at Walmart? Etc. People returning items bought from somewhere else (without receipt).

Yeah this is the biggest reason as to why were trying to make the return policy strictly with receipt only. Especially when a lot of stores have clearance items, (and me being an RFDer) it's actually really easy to spot the customers doing this. Word of advice to everybody, don't try returning things worth over $50 without a receipt! Chances are you won't even get a store credit for it. We've actually only been doing exchange for the exact same thing for anything over $50 with no receipt. Originally Posted by YippoHippo

Dec 30th, 2012 10:22 PM #14 Return Policy
A while back, I purchased a BlackBerry PlayBook at Walmart for $149.99 and a week later Walmart had their anniversary sale and reduced the price to $118. Fortunately, I didn't have time to open the Playbook I purchased the week before.
I took it back to Walmart and I just wanted to return the unit and buy back the EXACT SAME UNIT at the lower price.
They accepted the return, clearly the box was not open. But they refused to sell me the unit back.
Is that idotic? Could they not have given me a price guarantee. Anything? I ended up walking out with no PlayBook.
Why is this dumb policy in place? They had no inventory and refused to sell me my original unit Reply With Quote
