One of my favorite things about working at Walmart is providing top notch service to our incredible customers, so I am glad to see you feel the same. With this outlook on our work, I can assure you we are wanting quality interactions and products over the quantity, but we are looking to find a healthy balance to both. We will never lose sight of quality, and if you have specific details in regards to your feedback, I would love to hear it. - Becky S.
