Pretty Mad, but at who?

Postby ShaneG_old » Fri Jul 17, 2009 10:15 pm

I know I'm mad, and have the right to be, but I don't know who gets the anger here.

Tonight, I went to Wal Mart, and I bought 18 wheels of Steel Big City Rigs for the PC for $20.

When I get home and open it, I notice the disc looks odd, but I can't place it, so I put it in, and nothing happens.

I do everything I know how to do, and as far as my computer is concerned, there is no disc in the drive.

I take it out and what I noticed earlier turns out to be a blank disc. No lines on the bottom at all.

So off to Wal Mart we go, where they tell us they don't do refunds on computer software, because how do they know I didn't just copy it,  I say, how do I copy nothing?

I'm mad because they sold me a defective product and won't take responsibility for it, and they think it's up to the manufacture, and that it's their fault for letting it through QC. ::)


Who gets the shoe to the balls here? :D

No they aren't that bad, they're very redneck though and not very good quality

I would take the fight to customer service, and continue right up their 'chain of command', right up to include the president of walmart. Heck, call your local better business bureau or congress rep if you have to... ;D

I wasn't expecting all of this when I got back.  :o ;D

I could be mad at Paul, he's always talking about this game, and that's one of the reasons I bought it. :D

That may be a very smart alternative. ;)

Nothing like some bad press to motivate a buisness. 8-)
