35 days for Walmart to cancel my account.

[malthaussen]

That is ridiculous. I'm told that I cannot use my phone number to make a new account with Walmart for 35 days. "Oh, you can use somebody else's phone number," forsooth. Well, no I can't, there is nobody else, and I wouldn't want to go through the nightmare of changing it later anyway.

My account was hacked, and this is the crap they tell me. Meanwhile, I pointed out that they were dealing with a fraudulent third-party company who used their stationery to confirm orders and send a delivery notice (news flash: the product fraudulently ordered was not delivered), and overnight, that company is removed from their stores.

Priorities, amiright?

1. Get a Google Voice number

I think it's free, and that will solve your problem.

2. Better: Never go to Walmart again.

And tell them (high level!) why.

3. I'm on a very limited fixed income and have to have my groceries delivered.

Walmart is the best option. Take it up with Social Security for sending me such a pittance every month.

5. Darn!

Now you'll never be able to try their new, radioactive shrimp.

I hear it's the bomb.
