Retarded Walmart

Walmart is retarded. I bought a new battery for like $80 back in Feb of 08 when I got my truck. Well it wouldn’t hold a charge that great last winter but never needed a jump. So when I got it back from a trans rebuild it was starting to die after an hour of listing to the stereo with the lid open.

So when I brought the battery into my local walmart thinking they would prorate it like every other normal business would the CS girl gives me a new battery free of charge with an other 2 year warranty on it. WTF

Are they retarded how do they make money this way??

Good for us bad for them LOL

BTW I always bring my multi meter with me when getting battery’s if it doesn’t show 12v on the shelf well then no plucky. I’ve had a few bad from the get go new.

Most batteries have a "free replacement" for X amount of months, after that it's prorated.
