But one Walmart employee of nine years told Business Insider that it was a mistake for customers to just assume "we have an electronics repair facility here." If you're in doubt, it's best to skip the wild goose chase and try calling ahead.
Failing to plan out your shopping trips  Shopping for a big holiday weekend blowout? Well, just assume that everyone else is following suit. An associate of 12 years told Business Insider that it was a mistake to wait "until the last minute to shop," especially when it comes to busier times of the week or year. The employee added that some shoppers fail to understand that "they aren't the only people that will show up. So, yes, there will be lines at the registers. Plan better — plan early." A Reddit poster who said they worked in the electronics department at Walmart noted that Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays typically garner the biggest crowds.

If you end up ordering an item on Walmart.com that you don't actually want, you can return it through the chain's mobile express returns system. "You just get a QR code from your Walmart app, bring your item to the store, skip the line, and scan your QR code on the credit card machine," according to The Krazy Coupon Lady.
