I have only had a bad experience once trying to return something to Walmart. I demanded the manager and got my way. You can return two items a year without even a receipt as far as I know. They ask for ID and keep a record in the computer.

Even if they were to give a gift card for the amount you could just by something else and turn around and return that.

So how did it go?

Josh, I was criticizing the writing style not the spelling but thanks for the correction.

I am in a new browser as of yesterday and rely on spell check far too much, yet spell check is mysteriously not present in this browser.

I can dish it out so I better be able to take it right? especially since I dont write blogs, just read em.

Miss N- constructive criticism is always welcome…no harm no foul

Josh- Thanks for your support. If you weren’t a dude I would ask you to marry you and make finance babies with you because you seem like a good person. Keep it real homie!

Good post once again D. Ninja. You do have to be wary of these big chain department stores.

I just want to point out to Mrs. Onassis who commented above that it's spelt 'appalling' not 'appauling'. If you are going to criticize someone's writing style it's best if you can spell yourself sweetheart.

I wonder how Mrs Onassis and The Divine Miss N's blogs are going.....

D. Ninja has a really good writing style, and is hella funny too. It's PF for us younger people, the MTV generation.

Confession: I really struggled with what to say in my comment, and I'll freely admit that I need to work on the phrasing of my (hopefully sometimes) constructive criticism.

I want you to be a better writer, because I really like what I've read so far. I also think I took this post more seriously than it was intended, but what is communication but a dance where we occasionally step on each others' toes?

Looking forwards to what comes next.

I think your taking his post the wrong way Miss N, not that I am defending his writing style as it is appauling but he did clearly state the point to the post, “What were your experiences? Good, bad, ugly? Should I be ready to take it up the…nose?”

Other people have been screwed, so he has every right to worry.

Sorry for writing a personal opinion piece on my blog? I’m simply indicating that I may be facing rough roads ahead…maybe not.

I'm disappointed with this post. It's not educational or constructive. You haven't even had a personal customer service experience with returning a bike yet.

People who successfully returned their bikes to Wal*Mart probably won't be logging on to their blogs saying "Yay, Wal*Mart let me return a bike today."

I think you're getting riled up over what will probably be nothing.

I bought a bike at Walmart for the wife and they charged us for two. We bought other things too so we didnt notice till we got to the car and looked over the reciept. We went back in right away and returned the mystery bike. I said, "I drive a corolla..the one bike is filling the entire car, and the trunk houses the rest of our groceries." they didnt argue.

I have never really had a bad experience returning anything to Walmart, even a cooking spice I bought that I ended up not needing (it was like 4$ an ounce!) though they mentioned to me that all returned food regardless if the seal is broken or not is thrown away, so I got a bit of a guilt trip with that but returned it nevertheless.

I think you should be fine, and if they give you crap, make a big deal about it. I would NOT mention punching the manager in the face though, they may throw you in jail for that as they have done that before...
