Wal Mart

I'm beginning to wonder how the Norton store stays in business. Over the last couple of weeks, they've lost around 40% of their 'associates'.

Why?

Bad management. The stories I'm hearing about not only the store management, but the regional management makes me sick. I knew the manager of the Norton store was about as useful as tits on a boar hog, but I figured the regional people weren't bad. I was wrong.

Instead of addressing the problem, it seems the region is going to attempt to force everyone else to quit just so they don't look bad.

Don't be surprised if the Norton store gets a lot worse over the next few months. As long as the current management team is in place, that place is going to hell in a handbasket.

They treat their valued 'associates' like dogshit, then wonder why they quit.

Sort of like Applebees. My wife ordered out up there the other day and found fuzzy stuff and a fly in her salad. Called back to ask for a refund and they were okay with it.

I went to pick it up before work, and was given the run around wanting to know exactly what was on the order and then refunded in cash. First, their policy is to do it on a giftcard. Second, if someone found junk like that on their food, wouldn't you think you would try to make it up to them a little may give a $20 GC or something. If it wasn't for reffing buddies wanting to eat there, I wouldn't fool with them again till management changed. I reckon they have had people walking out on them as well.

I've eaten at that Applebee's twice. The first time was about a month after they opened. I had been on the lake all day and they were the only thing open when I got off the water. Perhaps 20 people in the place, the service was horrible.

Went back a few months ago, had the same ordeal. Almost ate there again a month or so ago, went in, sat down, took one look at the menu and realized that they had nothing that appealed to me.

A friend of mine, her husband was an assitant manager there, but has since switched to Lebanon because of how bad his direct management is in Wise. Heck, they live in Wise, and he can go to Lebanon, work and be home faster than he could when working at Wise because the rest sat around, and didn't do much apparently.

I avoid both places....but the Applebee's is the WORST I've ever eaten. Went there about 4 months ago and ordered Steak, mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables...and it came with a dessert that had chocolate syrup on it, and finally a margarita. First of all the drinki was undrinkable...like they didn't dilute the mix or something...nasty..so i sent it back. I ordered the steak medium and it was charred...and the potatoes and veggies were both cold. When the dessert came out it they said they were out of chocolate syrup..so they just laid it down and left. But, I refused to pay for it and I'll not go back....

Sounds like my last time in there. Ordered a burger medium, they sent it out well done with more char than an Alaskan river.

I've stopped sending food back if for no other reason than I don't feel like eating some [censored]'s spit.

I've been known to get up and leave the food on the table on more than one occassion...I don't send back either...but I don't pay for it as well.

Both places are absolutely horrible...Applebee's food is just bland and the service sucks at most of them...and I haven't been past the front door of the Norton location.

Walmart...gosh, thats enough...I better just shut up now...

I never have had a problem at either place, maybe thats me.

You must be very lucky!!!!!!!!!
