Ok i have had time to just relax and think about this rant that i want to post so here it goes.
This evening i went to the Walmart location mentioned in the title as it is the closest to my house to use my coupons against the Oral B toothbrush and Crest Toothpaste advertised for $0.97 in the local flyer.
First off there was LITTLE/NO stock! I asked the attendant in that section
and she said they didn't have it out yet because the flyer only came out today
Ummmm, i thought they were supposed to have it ready for the flyer date?????
Wanna know what i found????
1 stinking toothbrush not even on the shelf!!!It was on a wall far away from the Toothbrush section.
So i took it with me cuz at that point it was like finding a gold coin.
I scanned it and it went in at $0.97 so i thought perfect!
Took my coupon out and went about looking for the crest.
No stock in the toothpaste aisle. Wanna know where i found it??????
There were 10 frikin packages sitting nice and pretty on a shelf behind
the deodorant aisle opposite the hair care section!!!!!
So i ONLY took 5 as i know those idiots will tell me the limit is 6.
i then proceeded to the Express checkout with my frikin 1 toothbrush,
5 toothpaste and a pack of instant mr noodle.
i was second in line when i noticed a familiar face staring me down.
A while ago i posted in the bragging section about a certain cashier who
totally embarrassed me when i attempted to used some green works coupons.
Yup, that same idiot stared me down, i saw her go over to another cashier and
whisper something, then went back to her register.
Well finally it was my turn and i did not get the phys-co cashier neither his whisper friend.
So as put my stuff up i tell the cashier i have coupons.
All goes smoothly till she rings in the Oral B and then hands me back the coupon.
i ask her why she was giving me it back, and she said that i can only use
the coupon towards a Manual toothbrush. WTF!!!
I asked her what do you call the toothbrush i got, to which she just said,
i could only get the one from the picture on the flyer (oh change of story now)
Although i wanted to punch her in the face, i simply said ok and to take it off my bill i don't want it.
i looked up and phys-co and her whisper friend are both staring at me,
mind you they are at completely different registers two rows down from my cashier.
So i ended up paying $1.73 for 5 crest and 1 mr noodle @ $0.25.
I paid tax, not sure if i had to or not, i just wanted to get away from them.
After i paid i took my bag and said thank you and the f-in cashier didnt' even reply!!!!
Not sure who pissed in her coffee. I gave no hassle besides asking her to take the
toothbrush off my receipt so i guess that upset her.
i wanted to repeat my thank you but i just walked away instead.
Honestly, i am fed up with this location. Every time i try to use a coupon,
I always get this, that or the other kinda hassle.
I'd rather pay a little more money or do my couponing at Fortinos for instance lol
So i may be boycotting this location.
Thanks for reading

Sounds like you had a heck of a night! :-( Sorry that it had to be like that. Luckily Ive never had a bad experience at my usual WM. But I have had bad ones at the WM near my work, so I just avoid it. Blaaaahhhh!

Hey NR3!
Correct me if I'm wrong, is that the Walmart location at Bovaird and Main/Hurontario?
I was just there today too, around 5:45/6. I didn't find a single toothbrush, nor any sale tags indicating there were any 0.97 Oral B toothbrushes there. BUT I did find the 0.97 Crest toothpaste in that wonky spot as well. (I never know if that's clearance items or just a stupid shelf with mismatch stuff... its SO disorganized, anyways to my luck its never clearance)
Also, with my experience I never go to the express with coupons. I had some other coupons today for Free pudding from Dr. Okter, and coupons for the Krave chocolate cereal so I had over 15 items anyways. I did manage to get a sweet lady as my cashier, but she was a bit slow and I did feel like we were holding up the line a bit too long.
Finally, is it just me or does that Walmart never have ANY clearance sections... in any good department!?

I cannot stress enough when you have BAD service send an email to Walmart.ca home office....these behaviors must stop and until we start sticking up for ourselves it will continue.

@ matchstix, i am now very pissed, kinda my fault too.
You are right, i did "overpay" but looking at my receipt, i just realised that
the f-in cashier only used 4 out of my 5 coupons that i gave her!!!
i just chalked the charges to it being taxes.
i have uploaded the recipt
i am so mad right now!!!!!

@ Paciad, Yup that's the one.
That Low Prices shelf hardly ever has any prices attached to the items there,
and it does look like a bunch of mismatched stuff.
I checked the regular registers but there were only about 3 opened and the line up there were pretty
long and i was pressed for time.
Lastly, yup they NEVER have clearance, even if they do have a clearance sticker it seems like almost regular price to me.
i hate hate hate that location.
Ps - I was there around the same time too
I think it's a scheme.

Can anyone please help me understand the toothbrush situation please.
i'm not crazy so i know what a Manual tooth brush means.....duh there are battery/charger operated brushes and then there are the ones i have to use without assistance besides my hands lol.
So when the cashier gives me b/s about i can only get the one in the picture, how do i defend that????
Well besides the fact that a good slap wouldn't hurt

I had a freak experience at No Frills Thursday. Was getting a bunch if Sunlight (I buy it 4-6 bottles at a time so I don't kill my stroller etc). Had 6 $2 sunlight, some Silani coupons, a Ziploc and a screaming teething baby with a cold). Cashier was totally not phased by the coupons and really nice so I didn't really pay attn to what she was doing. As I was loading my stuff to leave, she printed out a duplicate receipt, said "I think I misses a coupon, I'm going to double check" and so she did. She hsd missed a $2 Sunlight so she friggin put it through her cash and gave me a twoonie from her cash. No muss no fuss. I rkls her about the experiences I'd been having at Walmart lately and she said she couldn't believe it since they're the ones that have primarily been driving the support for coupon use. (Mind you I've had 2 fantastic cashiers lately at Walmart but it's a rarity!) Anyway my jaw dropped that she offered to double check and made it so easy to get my $2!

That Walmart sucks...The cashiers act as if they own the stores.I had a rant this wk too about my Couponning/PM experience @ this same store..I'll go to the new store @ Williams Parkway/Mississauga Rd....just to get away from the bad service...Lets hope they have stuff in the store as it tends to have empty shelves.

BTW the cashiers(some of them) aren't too bright. They do have difficulties interpreting/understanding the jargon on them....SMH

My DH has connections there & told me they keep stock in back so customers won't get much till sale is almost finished.
