Gporter34 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Just sent emails to WM and to my contacts to remind them to email again today. I am going to make another call today and will do it all again tomorrow. Sorry about all of this crap Brad. I think it's truly awful that they would do this, but nothing suprises me about them anymore.
pmdemey Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I just called Wal-Mart and talked to a human. I told them I am pulling my stock and taking my money to Target this year! My family will also be pulling their stock because for some reason I forsee a sales drop in the near future! Any stock holders out there? Stay on the line and goto the investment portion of the menu we may get farther. Also , no I did not leave my name.
Guest mldepalma Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I sent an email to them regarding their poor judgment. I was not rude in my comments, but I did explain that I thought their decision to (possibly) seek legal action was not in their best interest. I think it is a good idea to "bombard" them with our thoughts, but I'm afraid they will disregard them if they aren't at least civil. Brad - you have my support (and I'm sure everyone else's too) whatever you decide to do.
jarerice Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 The thing is we should all quit Walmart all together, NOT just BF!!!! They need to all lose our business!!!!
pmdemey Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Brad we will fight for you ANY day of the year. You are our HERO!
jarerice Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Who remembers last year one someone on here got picked to do the news???? Who was is it? When need to contact that news place for them for do a follow up story.
pmdemey Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Shoot I`m late for work!!!!LOL Good luck with the cause today.!
Gporter34 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Who remembers last year one someone on here got picked to do the news???? Who was is it? When need to contact that news place for them for do a follow up story.That was Marcster. He did an interview I believe. I think he did the interview in 2005, though.
pmdemey Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 That was Marcster. He did an interview I believe.I thought they didn`t show up.
Gporter34 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I thought they didn`t show up.I thought I remembered him saying that he did the interview on their local news.
becca0884 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I sent an e-mail yesterday and again today. I will continue to do so as well!
LadyIzShy Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 what's the saying? any publicity is good publicity maybe we'll once again see those ebay auctions promising "black friday secrets - the info wal-mart doesn't want you to have!!!!"wow did they have them last year?
Steakgoddess Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Ridiculous. What is the big deal anyway? Don't they realize that leaked ads give more business. I wouldn't even step foot in Wal-Mart if I didn't know ahead of time what was there. My plan is in place way before BF.

My plan is in place way before BF.Same here, there's no way will I go there and waste my time unless I know ahead of time what they will have. I would be so ticked off to go there and then walk into one of those farces like the bathrobes last year. It seems like their sale has gotten progressively worse each year and I can't imagine what's next.
jarerice Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 That was Marcster. He did an interview I believe. I think he did the interview in 2005, though.This was a lady and it was last year. I'm going to see if I can find the post. It was in the lounge. It was around BF.
jarerice Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Okay I posted the question in the lounge. I was unable to find the post. We should know soon.
citrixgirl Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 ok i dont know if anyone else did but emailed this to fox news. I figure the more media on this the better.
kimmie0712 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I emailed yesterday and mailed a snail mail letter. I am going to email again today and tomorrow...and so on.
Gporter34 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 This was a lady and it was last year. I'm going to see if I can find the post. It was in the lounge. It was around BF.I missed that one but my mother just called me to tell me that FoxNews channel mentioned this morning that WM had threatened to sue any sites posting their ad early.
Mikesgirl Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I just emailed and called again today!!!! will be happy to do it daily till they stop the nonsense
pmdemey Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 You watch next year they won`t even have ads, they will only have IN-STORE specials.LOL
DramaQueenLucy Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 The thing is we should all quit Walmart all together, NOT just BF!!!! They need to all lose our business!!!!I agree totally I do tons of shopping to Walmart and I will dicoutinue today...this is totally outragous...I sent them this e-mail I have to say that I am very dissapointed in you threatening to take legal action against GottaDeal.com...I for one only get your ad online at GottaDeal.com without it your company would not have gotten my business on Black Friday for the last 3 years. I will not be there this year should you follow through with your threat I will not shop at your stores at all.
LadyIzShy Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 (maybe we could have a renaming contest.....I suggest "the unmentionable"..LOL.. Store who must not be named.. Like in HP..
wyntyrose Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 LOL.. Store who must not be named.. Like in HP..People who frequent dumpster diving pages have all kinds of acronyms for stores they "shop".Don't see why Gotta deal couldn't do the same.
becca0884 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 This was a lady and it was last year. I'm going to see if I can find the post. It was in the lounge. It was around BF.I think you're talking about Mugglemom. Here is the post. http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=55847 Her news story is actually still online. http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=2676129
lap49 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Utterly ridiculous... I will boycott Walmart on Black Friday.in!
koalamom Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I am also pretty sure that is who it was too, as I had just checked my posts and found her. Mugglesmom it is!
AndreaInNC Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Well the article stated that the WM ad would be released on November 20th. So at least if the actual ad or rumors of the sales item would be out before BF. So does it look like WM will go the route that Target has taken and elimate a sole BF sale totally and turn it into a 2 day sale like Target does? I've hated WM for years, this just firms up my decision to keep hating them.
LadyIzShy Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I just got off the phone with Sarahs office. MAN the lady I talked to was out and out RUDE. I could not believe it. I ended up asking her is she was telling me she refused to tell Sarah of my call. She of coarse said no she would log the call. I live in an area with 3 SWM BB CC target Meijer Kamrt sears and about anything else out there. IF WM sues Gottadeal I will NOT spend my money there. NOT now not ever. and I LOVE WM..
