Monday afternoon I went on-line to Wal*Mart to order some prints I need for the Christmas cards the St. Tom's kids made on Sunday. The system was a new one (done through a different company?) and it was a bit buggy and slow, but I did receive my confirmation email.
Now it's true that I didn't actually receive my "your order has arrived" email & phonecall, but I stopped by Wal*Mart anyway, since 24 hours is usually a reasonable amount of time for this process.
They hadn't received any on-line orders that day, because (they said) there was some kind of glitch, due to upgrading to this new system.
Well, so far I miss some of the features of the old system, but I'll give it a chance.
But I did send customercare an email suggesting that this time of year was a poor choice for a switch to a different system. I rec'd a form response re. the status of my order and no comment on my comment. Okay, that is pretty much all I expected.
But I thought I might as well tell my story.

This is not satire. (Cue entrance of whiney-voiced Wal*Mart lawyer.)
