Walmart blows it again

Frequent readers know that I liken going back to Walmart after swearing it off to taking back a slutty ex. Go ahead. But you can’t be shocked when you get cheated on.

(Just like you can’t be shocked when Walmart delivers disappointment.)

See the below image? It came from the Walmart web site at about 2:30 this afternoon. It contains a lie. I have circled the lie for you.

I willfully moved amongst the Walmartians on the basis of this claim. I was rather unhappy to discover its falsity.

See, this is even an unforced error too. You don’t have to have inventory status on your web site. But if you do, it better be accurate. It should be at least as accurate as me telephoning the store and getting a yes or no from a Walmart employee.

“Come on, Bo. No big deal.” You’re right—once. Or even twice. But Walmart delivers this level of mediocrity astonishingly consistently, all across the experience.

This ink cartridge is scarce locally. But it was a pretty day today. I drove to Target in Decatur to get what I needed, and guess what? It was there—just like the web site said it was.
