  • So in order to get a refund, Walmart wants the customer to hold on to a gloppy mess, and then have them personally travel to a store to bring the glop into a brick n mortar location, for a product that they paid to have Walmart deliver to their house, all just for walmart to refund the customer a measly 8 dollars back, for a fuck up that was all Walmart’s fault?

    That’s insanity.

    In all the other grocery delivery services, when a customer calls in to report that an item is missing or damaged then the company simply refunds the customer for that item, no questions asked. Which is obviously the correct way to do things.

    This person was NOT being unreasonable. If you were the customer service person in this conversation then i would double check that you’re actually following Walmart’s procedures for damaged inexpensive food items.






  • “best” depends on the particulars of your situation. Cloud backup is one of the easiest but over time can be expensive. In the long run buying a second same-sized drive is cheaper than online backup, but it requires more money up front, and having the original and backup in the same physical location doesn’t protect against local disasters like a waterpipe bursting flood. There are specialized tape drives for backups, which are cheap per mb and so you can make lots of separate backups which makes your data safer, but they’re very slow to read and write. And there’s other option too, like optical disks, raid arrays, etc.

    Best i can really say is to do some online research to figure out what’s right for your particular case.
