I have been having quite a few issues with the Walmart in my town.  I have set up my registry a while ago, but there are still a few things that I want to add.  I have been trying to add these things for a while now, and every time I go in there (which is about 3 times a week...lol) either the computer is down, or the gun/scanner is broken.  This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. 

So, I went to the store at 7:30 this morning, before work, to finish adding the items.  (My mom and BM are sending out the shower invitations today) and guess what....the gun is still broken.  I was annoyed to say the least.  I am trying to spend money at this store, and they are in no hurry or look like they care that they are potentially loosing busienss.

I now have to call my sister in Newmarket to get her to add these things to my registry for me.

I called their head office to file a formal complaint. 

The only thing I am worried about is what if when my guests go to print off my registry, the computer will be broken again.  Then what will I do???

I am so mad with Walmart....and the fact that Canadian Tire no longer has a registry, my only two options were Sears and Walmart.

Anyone else have any problems with Walmart and their registry???

And, I come to work this morning, and the e-mail server is down...today is not going to be a good day!!

 

 

August 2, 2008 will be the happiest day of my life!

Just relax and ask your sister to add the items for you. Also print out a copy of your registry completed for you mom and who ever else is holding the shower and usually if the registry is down I call the mother or the host of the party to find out what the couple needs, that way your BM and mom can let them know.

I totally know how you feel I have gone into the bay 5 times in the last few weeks only to find their registry system is down, my shower is in 19 days.

I don't think I would be getting so worked up if I were you... especially if there are already things on your registry. Weddings are about more than presents...

I am trying to spend money at this store, and they are in no hurry or look like they care that they are potentially loosing busienss.


No offense, but I don't really think they will give a damn if they lose a possible couple hundred dollars worth of business... do you realize how much money they make?

It's too bad that their registry isn't more reliable however, as I said before, if you've already got one on the go, then maybe you'll have to just stick with that and be happy with it. Maybe you can update it online? I don't know if they have that option in Canada.

Well I went into Walmart to get a sweater, and low and be hold...the scanner/gun was there!  I called headoffice to file a formal complaint, and there it was!!

So I did get to finish the registry after all.
