I never shop on black Friday because it isn't worth all the pushing, shoving and rudeness from shoppers and workers. But this year I saw on the news that Wal-Mart was doing something different to help keep down the crowds. They were offering the sales of electronics online and to be shipped to your house for 97 cents. Well was that a crock of BS. I saw a laptop I liked at a great price and clicked on it Thurs. (day before black Friday). It stated that it was out of stock online but when you clicked on it to see more it stated that it was available online and in the store Nov. 27th. So I set my alarm for 12am to see if I could purchase one. Nope, the same note was there. So I was getting up for work at 4:30am and thought I would try again at that time. Nope, the same note was there but you still could not purchase it. I tried again at 5am and 5:30am and still could not purchase it. So on my way to work I figured I would stop in the Wal-Mart store to see if I could purchase one. I saw two managers putting up products so I went right to them to asked where the laptops where. They both gave me the evil eye and said all the laptops are gone. I explained to them about the internet ( anyway tried to) but they told me that I was wrong and explain a whole different thing that I was talking about. I said no that on the news they where stating that you can buy electronics online this year to help cut down on the crowds. They both didn't want to hear what I had to say and blew me off. So off to work I went. After there a few of my co-workers showed up and were telling how they were at Wal-Mart to get some things and the customers were screaming at the management about the laptops. Here to find out loads of customers stood in line for hours in hopes of purchasing a laptop. Well to find out it was all for nothing. Their big sale that they advertised about was for a stock of.... drum roll..... 5 lap tops, yup, isn't that so nice of Wal-Mart. So after I got out of work I decided to call customer service. The first number I called the lady was really rude and stated that she can't help me with the on line part but can file a complaint about the part of what happened in the Wal-Mart store. Long story short after me trying to tell her the whole story that she didn't want to hear she hung up on me. Really professional, huh? Two thumbs down to Wal-Mart.
They are very decieving.
