Brad Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Got this through the BF site contact form: Name: Sam WaltonE-Mail: [email protected]Message: The list you have is not accurate whatsoever. Pre release info that we know would get out there. We have some great BLITZ items this year!! We've done well keeping it silent until published date!I feel so special
happysunshine28 Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 IF they kept it quiet good for them it is a first. Whoever send that is sick.
Tracy72 Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 good....I hope this add is just a joke and great deals are on the way. Good Job Brad for being top dog with WalMart..lol
Brad Posted November 18, 2007 Author Posted November 18, 2007 I will say that Wal-Mart employees have got to be some of the most supportive of their employer of all retail employees. All these other stores have threatened legal action, but we almost never hear from employees who support it. When Wal-Mart did their thing this year, I must have seen 20 posts from WM employees on here supporting them (many of which we had to delete because they were threatening, slandering, full of expletives or just made no sense) along with countless e-mails like the one above. Either they are really concerned that a leaked BF ad could somehow cost them their job, or WM does a good job brainwashing their employees. And before you WM employees contact me, I'm in no way saying all of you are like this - just that I don't see similar responses from employess of any other store. Either way I'll be glad this time tomorrow when this ad is finally "officially" posted.
unclemonkey Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Tell Sam that he should serve us loyal wally customers some refreshments this year. You know some fuel to get the motor running for this glorious shopping experience.
deelite Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Got this through the BF site contact form: I feel so special Ok...now that title was funny! LOL! When I first read the title I thought he (Sam) was going to say how disappointed he was in the Walmart ad this year...
Kandy Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Brad, you are one lucky fellow to have Sam contact you from beyond the grave about the BLITZ items. Have you heard the Wal-Mart cheer? LOL!Yup. I hate to admit it, but I know it (after school hours while in HS) Give me a Squiggly ~~~
Ericksonr Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Tell Sam that he should serve us loyal wally customers some refreshments this year. You know some fuel to get the motor running for this glorious shopping experience.As amazing as it sounds. My local WM did serve donuts and coffee last year in the layaway dept but it was like it was a secret...they did not announce it over the store intercom system and the only way anyone found out about it was through word of mouth or having to go into the layaway dept like I did to pay for my Plasma TV.
conj Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 hee heee wow... maybe you could go on the talk-show circuit now?
sunnysky24 Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 It's so sad that people have to act like that.They just love to complain about things. I mean what would the real Sam think about it! On the other hand we knew you were and Angel Brad so maybe that is why Sam can talk to you...man I am so happy they have the internet in heaven!!!
Gporter34 Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Well, hopefully they have snowed us all with their ad and the real thing will be better, however, I doubt that!LOL
Rockfordmom Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Either they are really concerned that a leaked BF ad could somehow cost them their job, or WM does a good job brainwashing their employees. And before you WM employees contact me, I'm in no way saying all of you are like this - just that I don't see similar responses from employess of any other store.I think that they brainwash their employees. They say that they will match other store prices but if you bring an ad from a store that has a shopper card like CVS the cashiers always go into a tirade about how "those stores" have cards and Walmart doesn't make their customers sign up for cards, almost make them sound evil for making you get a card... it's like they personally care when a cashier from another store would just say "no". It's actually pretty funny how animated they get about it.
mywarmbluefleece Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Wow. Gottadeal is so popular Sam Walton himself comes out of his grave and sends you an email!
shanni Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Have you heard the Wal-Mart cheer? LOL!Not only have I heard it, I used to have to participate in it!
lmore Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 I will have to say my sister in law received the ad in the mail yesterday and that is the ad just one page missing. She said moon sand $10.00 and some other things
noehlp Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Okay all you Wal-Mart cheerleaders, how does this cheer go? I have never heard it that I know of. TIA
tsa Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 So Happy the ad's posted:D So, Disappointed in the ad. Too much waiting I think:yawn:

4gr8girls Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Since I no longer work at Wal-Mart I will leak the cheer...lol! It goes: Give me a 'W' Give me an 'A' Give me a 'L' Give me a squiggly Give me a 'M' Give me an 'A' Give me a 'R' Give me a 'T' What's that spell? 'Wal-Mart' Who's number one? 'we are' Who's really number one? 'the customers' Which store's number one? 'XXX' Atleast that's how it went at our store. Great cheer huh?
angiemartin Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 That WAS the BF secret!! Sam is back!!!!! and deelite is correct, is not happy with the ad!! That explains the special WM "secret" website. WM will be the only news all weekend!! I hope you referred all of the slanderous and obscene posts by WM employees to Sam (he will won't be happy about that either!) with a copy to the WM attorneys demanding that they cease and desist from such activitiy or you may have to terminate their affiliate standing with GD
Tessangel Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Honestly the ad is shameful! There aren't hardly any toys and what toys are there aren't any my children would play with.. That is okay Kmart and Toys R Us are my stops this year.
carolstvns Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Are the items you currently have listed correct or are they going to post more?
Brad Posted November 19, 2007 Author Posted November 19, 2007 Are the items you currently have listed correct or are they going to post more?The items listed here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=82464 are the ad as we received it. They will have the special in-store secret deals that will be posted Thanksgiving Day (or earlier if we are notified of them).
amy0807 Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 They have always said they would have a list of "secret items" but I don't think they are telling what those are until Thanksgiving Day on the website....but yes, as disappointing as it is, that is the BF ad.
CarpeDiem Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 haha moon sand for $10? what a waste of money! That is the most worthless messy crap ever and made by same company as aqua dots....soooooooo........could be toxic
