            <p>Dear Walmart, you guys are the best! Thank you for all you do to give back to the community. It is truly inspiring. My family owns and operates a &#034;hurricane hole&#034; marina in Brunswick, GA where everyone with a boat flocks to during a large storm. We are very familiar with hurricanes and appreciate everything WalMart does to help the communities with damage. </p>

            <p>Apparently I &#034;shoplifted over 25.00 merchandise &#034; , I was very tired and thought I had double rang the items!  I was not rude or unprofessional with any of the staff. I coropated in every way!!!  I even tried to pay for items!! One of the items&#034;I stole even had a  coupon on &#034; 

The lady was rude to me and I have never been talked to like that!

            <p class="article-intro">
                    Smartphones have become a vital part of our lives, helping to make virtually everything faster and more convenient. No matter what we&rsquo;re doing these days, relying on our favorite apps is almost second nature.</p>
            <p>That’s why we’ve been applying this kind of thinking to shopping, by building <a href="https://www.walmart.com/cp/walmart-mobile-app/1087865" target="_blank" data-cms-ai="2">tools and features within the Walmart app</a> to save you time on everything from <a href="https://news.walmart.com/2017/02/28/walmart-app-upgrades-new-store-express-lanes-faster-easier-shopping" data-cms-ai="2">prescription pickups</a> to <a href="https://blog.walmart.com/innovation/20171226/our-holiday-gift-to-customers-making-the-online-return-process-easier" data-cms-ai="2">merchandise returns</a>. But we also know that we can do even more. This week, we’re releasing a handful of new and improved features to the Walmart app that not only help you get in and out of the store quickly, but also help you before you ever leave the house. </p><div class="videoContainer enhancement ">
                <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iuqF8dbevFQ?rel=0&wmode=opaque&showinfo=0&autohide=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
            </div>
    <p>All of these new features come together under something else that’s new: a totally re-imagined experience for in-store shopping called <b>Store Assistant. </b>Next time you <a href="https://www.walmart.com/store/finder" target="_blank" data-cms-ai="2">visit your local store</a> and open the app, you’ll notice that the Walmart app transforms into Store Assistant. All of the tools you need to make shopping fast and easy, such as <a href="https://www.walmart.com/cp/walmart-pay/3205993" target="_blank" data-cms-ai="2">Walmart Pay</a>, will be right at your fingertips. We’ve also made the product search bar and the scanner easier to find, so you can quickly read reviews, find items in store and double-check prices. </p><p>Pretty neat, right? Now, let’s dive into the other new features that are part of Store Assistant: <br></p><ol><li><b>Smarter, Better Lists: </b>Eighty percent of Walmart customers make a list before coming to the store, so we’ve made list-building within the app more convenient for you – like the ability to enter a custom term like “<a href="https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=milk&amp;cat_id=0" target="_blank" data-cms-ai="2">milk</a>” (in other words, no need to pick an exact item match) and check item stock at your local store. The total cart – plus tax – will now be calculated as you make your list, allowing you to see the cost of your basket before even stepping foot inside the store. Store Assistant makes your list easily accessible, so you can see what aisle the items are located in, as well as cross off and add items as you go. </li><li><b>Improved Store Navigation with Store Maps:</b> We’re creating a map unique to each and every one of our stores – and with over 4,700 of them, this is going to be a real game-changer. These maps will help you find where an item is located, down to the aisle and shelf area<i>.</i> Store Maps is already available for a handful of stores, and we’re rolling it out to the rest of our stores just as fast as we can. </li><li><b>Even More Store Information:</b> You can now easily check whether a store has a department like a <a href="https://photos3.walmart.com/?povid=PSServices" target="_blank" data-cms-ai="2">Photo Center</a> or <a href="https://www.walmart.com/cp/auto-services/1087266" target="_blank" data-cms-ai="2">Auto Care Center</a> and see department hours and phone numbers. We’ve also taken this a step further by adding other valuable information – such as checking for things like Rug Doctor availability – to make your store shopping even easier.</li></ol><aside class="text-center ">

</aside><p>Of course, these are just the updates we’re launching this week; there’s much more to come. Imagine dropping pins on a store map tied to the location of items on your list, enabling you to plan your route through our stores, or the ability to book <a href="https://www.walmart.com/cp/auto-services/1087266" target="_blank" data-cms-ai="2">services like an oil change</a> in advance. Imagine even smarter lists … maybe so smart that you’ll hardly have to make them! </p><p>We’re building a shopping tool unlike any other in retail – and one that makes virtually every element of the store shopping experience faster and more convenient for you. We’re excited about the Walmart app updates we’re launching this week, but we’re even more excited about what’s to come. With the Walmart app, shopping our stores is seamless, easy – and pretty darn cool. </p></div>

                    When Christel Antone went to sleep on Oct. 10, she was worried about her sick grandchild. It wasn&rsquo;t the only thing on her mind.</p>
            <p>For the last two days, she and her neighbors had been threatened by the fires raging throughout Sonoma County, California. A mass evacuation was underway.</p><p>At 1 a.m., Christel – a Walmart store co-manager in Rohnert Park, California – woke up to a crying baby and the unmistakable stench of smoke. Something was on fire. Around her house, everything seemed normal. She looked out the windows of her Windsor, California home: To the west, she saw her local Walmart; to the east, mountains. No fire yet – only smoke.</p><p>But the fire was coming.</p><p>“At that moment, I felt nothing but fear,” Christel said. “Others in the area were being evacuated. So I started getting ready to leave.”</p><p>Within two hours, Christel and her husband, two children and grandchild were packed tight into their cars. At 3 a.m., they were part of a mass evacuation – one of thousands of families headed south. They were on the way to her parents’ home in Rohnert Park, normally a 15-minute drive. It took them three hours to reach safety.<br></p><aside class="text-center ">

</aside><p>Meanwhile, assistant manager Casey Wolven-Scott stood looking at a sea of cars in the Rohnert Park Walmart parking lot. Hundreds of evacuees had only what was on their backs when the time came to leave: kids without shoes, their parents in pajamas. Every one of them tired, afraid and not sure if they would have a home to come back to.</p><p>Casey stepped further outside. The highway, which she could see from the store, was flooded with headlights. “Fire truck after fire truck after fire truck was speeding north, up the highway,” Casey said. “Heading south, it was bumper to bumper traffic.”<br></p><aside class="text-center ">

</aside><p>She decided she had to help her neighbors. “I was one of two people who could run a register,” Casey said. But she had to open the store so people could get basics and use the restroom. Her shift, which had started at 8 p.m. the night before, didn’t end until lunchtime the next day. She saw to it that her store was there for people at this desperate time of need.</p><p>A few miles north of the store, at Elsie Allen High School, Christel spent the next day volunteering for those looking for shelter. “We kept hearing alerts and needs for first responders, so we gathered everything we could from my parents’ house, clothes and food, and took it to the high school,” Christel said. <br></p><aside class="text-center ">

</aside><p>Despite being driven away from her own home, Christel knew she had to help. “At that point you lose all the selfishness and what you’re going through to help others,” she said.</p><p>Step by step, Casey and Christel helped with recovery efforts. Christel and her family were able to return to their home within a week. Associates at stores throughout Sonoma County have continued to serve their communities through the fires, in addition to preparing for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Christmas. </p><p>“Since then, we’ve been trying to keep in stock what our customers need — housewares, socks, pillows, sleeping bags – these things keep coming in and coming off the shelf right away,” Casey said.<br></p><aside class="text-center ">

</aside><p>Christel and Casey were two of hundreds of associates who helped pull off a recent episode of The TODAY Show’s “<a href="https://www.today.com/video/families-impacted-by-california-wildfires-get-help-for-the-holidays-1119680067846" target="_blank" data-cms-ai="3">Getting to the Heart of Christmas</a>” series. In recent years, Walmart has had the opportunity to work with NBC to help deliver Christmas for families in need, particularly like the 10 families affected the Sonoma County wild fires earlier this year.</p><p>The event brought hundreds of associates, themselves affected by the fire, together to serve their community. </p><p>“Everyone here knows someone affected by fire,” Christel said. “Being able to work for a company that’s making a difference in the community, and being part of it personally, is rewarding.”<br></p><div style="position:relative; padding-bottom:63%; padding-bottom:-webkit-calc(56.25% + 50px); padding-bottom:calc(56.25% + 50px); height: 0;">    <iframe style="position:absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%;"    src="https://www.today.com/offsite/families-impacted-by-california-wildfires-get-help-for-the-holidays-1119680067846" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>  </div></div>

            <p>They are a very wonderful product!!’  You know what Elise would be wonderful, since this is a great family store, is if there was parking up close for all the new mothers that don’t have help getting there babies in the store. I’m sure this is very hard  on them when they have to walk a distance </p>

                    &quot;To succeed in this world, you have to change all the time.&quot;</p>
            <p>Those words come from our founder, Sam Walton. Spoken decades ago, his statement is even more relevant today. In a world where you have to stay two steps ahead of what people want, you have to innovate, test, fail and learn at lightning speed. And we’ve done just that for over 50 years.</p><p>From pioneering the first large discount stores, to being the first to use universal product codes (the bar codes on virtually every product you buy today), to adding innovative e-commerce retailers to the family, we’re always looking ahead for ways to deliver even more value for our customers.</p><p>Take a look at how the evolution of Walmart has also driven change in retail over the years.<br></p><div class="videoContainer enhancement ">

            <p>I&#039;ve got a very big issue either the way walmarts system processes CC and DC now.  What was the point of my bank putting a chip in my debit card if walmarts processing system accepts the cards without a pin or the card holder being I&#039;d?   This is not safe.  If anything this has made my card easier to be stolen and used! If I click that I want to use debit then obviously I want to enter my pin.  This issue seriously needs to be addressed. </p>
