'I will never be going back to Walmart' boycotting shopper fumes – final straw was how his receipt check was handled | 0UD70JL | 2024-05-09 17:08:01
A WALMART shopper has blasted the chain and vowed never to step foot in the store again following a recent experience.
The shopper said he would boycott Walmart due to three apparent issues he encountered.
More and more customers across the U.S. have shared their complaints about their shopping experiences.
These have included the impact of anti-theft measures or changes in payment methods.
Brandon (@quietstroller) said his experience at a Walmart store on Sunday, May 5 had changed his shopping habits, on an X, formerly Twitter, post.
Firstly, the shopper complained about the length of time it took him to buy his item.
"I went to Walmart yesterday for soda and it took me 25 minutes to get in there," he said.
"Grab two 2x2liyers of soda and get to the checkout line to get out."
Brandon also complained about the payment and checkout options at the store.
"There was three cashiers open and no self-checkout," he said.
The U.S. Sun has previously reported on big self-checkout changes set to hit some Walmart stores.
The retailer will remove self-service kiosks from some locations to improve visitors' experiences.
<!-- End of Brightcove Player --> "The decision was based on several factors, including feedback from associates and customers, shopping patterns and business needs in this area," a spokesperson for the company said.
Brandon finally complained about the controversial receipt check measure that many stores have adopted.
This practice is when a member of staff is placed between the checkout area and store exit to look over peoples' proof of purchase.
"Not to mention I was questioned at the door for a receipt that was in my hand in front of the lady's face," Brandon said.

"I absolutely will never be going back to Walmart."
