    On the flip side, when I bought my car (small SUV), I ordered a cargo net from WALMART.COM so I could have stuff secured in the event I had an accident...I did not need things flying into the back of my head. I received the shipment, and got a small cardboard box that had 6 retail paks in it (each of which were pretty small so it's easy to see how a 6 pak might seem to be a single item.) Apparently whoever stocked the shelf did not break down the bulk shipping box and it got picked as "1."

    I don't know I've ever lost out or benefited from Bulk Pricing Gone Bad in the store. Glad you caught it.

    Woman gets confronted for cutting in line at Walmart, does not take it very well.

    WARNING: She says The 'F' Word.

    I must be shopping at the wrong Walmart......I hardly ever see anything I'd need to get my phone out to film.

    The last one was months ago when a young woman was "bouncing" along down the aisle wearing an extremely short crop top and no bra. Now you see 'em, now you don't, now you see 'em, now..... There were quite a few gentlemen who felt the urge to prolong their grocery shopping.

    I have the same issue when on their site, either to browse or to buy stuff to get shipped to me. I keep getting an error page with one of those stupid cartoon graphics of a pickup truck with the hood up or a dinosaur in a meteor shower. I figured it was my slowish internet causing their site to not load properly.

    I get annoyed with Walmart (and Amazon) now because I have to look closely and make sure I'm not buying from some "marketplace" vendor. I just find that aggravating; they should put all that marketplace crap on a separate page.

    I think that 99% of their vitamins and supplements come from a 3rd party vendor. Have you had bad experiences? The only one that bothers me is EBay, because some of the stuff ship from overseas.

    I have had bad experiences on Amazon, but when I ask Amazon customer service to intervene they always make it right.

    On Walmart's website, I scroll for about an hour till I get to the box to select "retailer" so I only see Walmart items. Unfortunately if I look at details on something and then go back to the previous page the retailer has to be re-selected. o_O

    I'm not ordering groceries so I don't care if it's in-store or from a warehouse.

    I believe all Amazon products are from a market vendor.

    Hey Lois. Hope you're doing well these days.

    Nope; many products on the Amazon website are from marketplace vendors but most things are sold directly by Amazon. Some items give the choice of vendors so a shopper can choose the retailer they'd prefer, but the shopping cart will show which retailer is actually the seller.
