daworths8 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Anyone seen the commercial that ALL lanes are suppose to be open? LMAO Ill have to see this to believe it. Our Super Wal-Mart only ever has 2-3 open on each side, and 5 self checkout lines. Last year was crazy only had a handfull open and lines out the ying yang. Hope its true so I can get the heck outta dodge when Im done.
emeraldisles Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Yeh I saw that ad too last night thought yeh right. I will beleive it when I see it. Would be be good thougjh in and out fast. I went yesterday and got some of the reg priced "Sale items" so i could get just the sale items and haul butt to the next store.
happysunshine28 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Ours always has all lanes open on BF. Same at ours, that is the only time I have ever seen all lines open.
sigrist_2000 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 ours are to...they take everyone out of the departments as they can....i had a sportings good guy ringing stuff out...and he didnt know what the heck he was doing...which i liked as i saved a butt load...
justprettynpink Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Perhaps Walmart is not having a good sale so all their cashiers will have time to flash their lights to the beat. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
cassgurlie04 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 yea they have thats stupid carol of the bells song playing as they flicker there lights on and off................ they also bought air time for yahoo launch cast radio to advertise all lanes open............ WHY CANT THEY DO THAT ALL YEAR
Guest Mom1979 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I don't know if ours will or not I didn't do BF last year & 2 years ago was my first. I hope they're all open..would make it convenient.
IceQueen Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 No Walmart I've ever been to has employees that are that happy, and no Walmart I've ever been to is that clean. BTW, does this mean if all lanes are NOT open we can sue them for false advertising?
Aaron Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Our Wal-Mart has tons of ones open but the lines EVERYDAY are horrible
Ericksonr Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I was actually surprised today when I went to the local Wm and a cashier was just standing around with nothing to do....she walked me to her register. No waiting in line and even emptied the stuff from my cart for me. I was completely stunned. That absolutely never happens...I just happened to go in to pick up some medicine and ended up buying a Jacket for my Grandmother...I am keeping my fingers crossed that this keeps up for BF.
mysticmage Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Perhaps Walmart is not having a good sale so all their cashiers will have time to flash their lights to the beat. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Very well said.
Guest CS.Dean Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 The stores we go into never have all lanes open. I have talked to several employees about if they are working are telling me no they are not. I dont see how they will have all lanes open. Wal Mart as a whole has cut down on labor by a ton over the past year to cut 'cost"
love a deal Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 The WM I shop at always has all lanes open on BF! :) I acutally just got home from WM and almost all the lines were open.
missionut Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 must all depend on your store and how it is ran, my wal-mart always has all lanes open BF day.
princez916 Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 what time can you get the doorbusters on BF? Can you go to a supercenter at midnight and get your items and checkout? Or do you have to wait til 5am?
missionut Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 my local wal-mart supercenter brings the bf merchandise out to the floor around 4:30 and keeps an associate by it until 5 then they remove the black wrapping from the merchandise. As for the sale price it depends on the merchandise some of the items wont scan at the bf sale price until 5 am and home office has put it in the registers.
cheyandwysmom Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 There are some items at walmart that are already on sale for the BF price. I was able to get the gobble and go hippo today after the EXTREMELY helpful salespeople looked it up to be sure it was there and saleable and then went out to the trailer and actually dug through everything to find me one! I know a lot of people have a lot of gripes about walmart, but as a former employee and a longtime customer, I really don't have anything bad to say. They have never been anything but polite and helpful to me. Seems to me that the easiest way to avoid their "bad service" if you don't like them is to just not shop there....yet how many of you will be there BF morning anyway?
alexac Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 HAHAHAHAHA!! I never thought those little lights over the registers worked in Wal-Mart. At least, I have rarely seen one on in my past visits. I may just cruise the aftermath on BF and see how many lines are open then. It'll probably look like a ghost town.
redspider61 Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 All I Can Say Is Good Luck.. Youd Thinkk The Night Before Thanksgiving Theyd Expect People To Be Shopping Gettin Groceries And All.. Well On 3rd Shift We Had One Yes One Cashier...and I Know Ya'll Think Everyone I Na Blue Shirt Should Be Able To Jus Jump On One But If Youre Not In The System As A Cashier You Dont Have Log On Numbers.. Trust Me It Irratates Us As Much As It Does You If Not More..we're The Ones Getting Yelled At Because Managment Screws Up.. Happy Shoppin Ya'll. Ill Be Anywhere But There...
darkcreole Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Our Wal-mart had all lanes open last night and this morning. I was pleasantly shocked. I got out of the lines faster last night and this morning than I ever did.
Bunniq Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 I won't be shopping at Wal-Mart this year, but last year the one I went to had all lines open and the cashiers were great.
mysticmage Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 I can't believe it. All the lanes really were open.
koalamom Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Ours were all open this morning, my son and I ran up so he could get the HP printer for college. I picked up some jeans for DH for work. But I know yesterday when I got on line they said Rustler were a secret sale item for $5.00 as I sat right there and read it to my DH but this morning they rang up $7.50 and I came home to check the site and it said $7.50, I know they changed that price. Grrr! But $7.50 is still a good price and they are only for work so if DH is OK with it, I am too. But still......
shanni Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 All our lanes were open too..... I've seen more customers in there on a regular day than I did today.
booga12345 Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Ours only had about half the lanes open, but that was more than enough since the store was DEAD!!
jdrd90 Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 All Lanes were open and the place was packed! Everything went smooth, at least for me it did. I saved a lot of money on ad matching and not spending gas going from town to town.
sm1kla Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 ............ WHY CANT THEY DO THAT ALL YEARExactly!! That drives me crazy that they have 32 lines and only 10 open. I guess this campaign only proves that Walmart is aware of the problem and won't do anything about it b/c we are still shopping there. So many times I've felt that I just wanted to leae my full buggy in the line and leave. BTW I didn't go to Walmart yesterday -- they had nothing I wanted.
jarerice Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Ours has been alot better this year, I noticed.
hannahs_momma Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Our store had huge lines 10 people in line and four lanes open!
