What are some Walmart Auto Center horror stories?

There was a case where a customer got a car battery from Walmart. They installed it in their vehicle, but it turned out to be defective. The car wouldn't start at all, and when they tried to get a refund or exchange, they faced a lot of red tape. They had to jump through hoops to prove that the battery was bad, which was really frustrating and took a lot of their time.

Well, in terms of customer service horror stories at Walmart Auto Center, one common issue is lack of communication. A customer may drop off their car in the morning and not hear anything until they go to pick it up in the evening. And if there were any problems or delays, the staff didn't inform the customer. Another aspect is that the staff might not be very knowledgeable. When customers asked for advice on certain car issues, they got very vague or wrong answers which led to more problems down the road.

I heard a story where a customer found a strange object in their purchased item. It was a small piece of metal in a box of cereal. When they went back to the store to complain, they had to deal with a lot of bureaucracy. The staff didn't seem to take it seriously at first, and it took a long time for them to finally offer some sort of compensation or apology.

I heard of a story where someone bought a set of windshield wipers from Walmart. When it rained for the first time after the installation, the wipers just smeared the water instead of clearing it. As a result, the driver had very poor visibility and almost got into an accident. It was a nightmare situation, and the customer was left wondering why Walmart would sell such ineffective auto products.

A rather disturbing Walmart greeter horror story involves a greeter who had some really unhygienic habits. They were constantly coughing and sneezing without covering their mouths near the entrance. And when customers would try to avoid them, they would get offended and start making mean comments. It was a really unpleasant experience for those who just wanted to do their shopping in peace.

One horror story could be about long lines at the Baypines Walmart with rude staff. Maybe customers had to wait for hours to check out and the employees were unhelpful, not answering questions or being impatient.

One horror story could be constantly being short - staffed. You end up having to cover multiple departments all by yourself. It's exhausting and there's no way to keep up with all the tasks like restocking, helping customers, and cleaning. Another could be dealing with really difficult customers who are rude and demanding all the time, and management doesn't always back you up.

There was a time when the cash register system at Walmart crashed. The cashier had no idea how to handle the situation. Customers were getting frustrated as the cashier had to manually write down prices and calculate totals. It was a total mess and took forever to get through the line.

There are stories of managers who play favorites. They give all the good shifts and opportunities for advancement to certain employees while ignoring the hard work of others. This creates a very negative and unmotivated work environment for those who are not in the 'in - group'.

One horror story is about the long hours. Workers are sometimes made to work back - to - back shifts with very little break time. It's exhausting and can lead to burnout. For example, a cashier might have to stand for 8 - 10 hours straight without proper rest.
