Walmart really sucks! Went to my Covid vaccine appointment today. [View all]

Had their confirmation email for the appointment I made a week ago, it even specified it would be for Pfizer vaccine. Took time off work for a 2:00 appointment slot, checked in at the pharmacy and then they told me there was a scheduling error and no vaccine was available! There were several other folks waiting to check in after me, too.
The pharmacist told me he could schedule me for the following Wednesday for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
They had my name, address, phone number, email and even insurance information.
Why the hell couldn’t they call and tell me there was no vaccine that day??
They wanted people to come in anyway hoping we’d buy some crap in their shitty ass store!

I had not been to Walmart in years, gave them a chance and they failed again. NEVER AGAIN!
