Response from Wal-Mart

As Promised, I contacted Walmart and they responded.

Their first response was automated and did not address my question, which was...

"Comments : Is the price on this item correct? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ziploc-Sandwich-Bags-100-ct-3-pk/15120907 I'm hoping it's a keyboard error on your part."

Their automated response told me that Walmart carries a wide variety of products, and to check back if an order was shown as "Out of Stock" etc... (where's the rolling eyes smiley?).

So I responded with "Your automated response had nothing to do with my question. Please read the question and answer it."

And their response with the actual answer to my question is, "Thank you for contacting Walmart.com regarding the price for the Ziploc Sandwich Bags, 100 ct, 3 Pack.

We received your email and to ensure we provide you with accurate information, we are researching the matter.

We're writing to let you know how to order items from our online store. Just follow these easy steps: ......" blah blah blah

And just to make my point, I wrote back: "You do realize your 1 pack of 100 is only $2.88, right?"

Feeling a bit snarky today but not becuase of money. Sometimes a person finds out that they are not as in control of their world as they think they are. Grrr.

And that's my post for today.
