Fug a Wal-Mart

I'm tired of their poo!

My kid worked her ass off & saved her money to buy a $200 pool. She picked one out at walmart and they were out and she was devastated with tears and all, so I said no biggie we can just order it online . I ordered it site to store the end of last month and was supposed to be here June 5th and it still isn't here. Every time the arrival date gets here I get a new email stating it's delayed in transit. The latest day it was supposed to be here was Saturday the 18th. It's supposedly been in Hope Mills, NC since June 12th, that is only 1 hour from my home. I've even told them I'd drive & pick it up from there but they said I couldn't because it's a distribution center.

I called walmart.com on Sat the 18th to find out what was going on, they told me the trucks don't drive on the weekend and it was on record that it would be delivered today, they did also give me a $20 credit for the trouble I've had. It's still not here and they still have not updated the tracking on it or sent me an email with a new delivery date.

I called my walmart a few minutes ago and asked what the deal is. They said they've had problems with so many people ordering pools and said they've all been delayed and are unsure when it would be in.

I've also learned they've already charged my credit card and we have no pool. At this rate summer is going to be over before she gets it.

Meanwhile I have a 10 year old kid that is heartbroken and I don't know what to do.

Amazon.

They have everything with better customer service than a Wal-Mart.

Yes, I know this but she couldn't afford the one on amazon. It cost $400 for the same pool.

I guess this is a lesson for her, I'm just not sure what it is just yet. Patience and tolerance maybe...

Wow, shocked. Usually Amazon is right there with their prices. Double for the same product is a shocker to me. I would have done the same thing you did.

Hate it for your little girl.

I smell a conspiracy here...

Why would someone out there be buying up all the pools?

Why sell them if you don't have them in stock? :( Sucks.

They do that for a lot of stuff.

When I was looking for a tent for our trip, they had the kids tents on there and when I went to the store they weren't there.

I have a couple friends who have done the same thing and been told they needed to order online. Guess there are some things they only offer online? Idk.

Still ended up with the teeniest tent evar.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
