Anonymous Coward User ID: 79405666 United States 09/18/2021 01:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just went to Wal Mart with the family. Quoting: Bel-Darrion We usually separate and do our own shopping. Always before I would usually be done before the wife and I would call to see where she is to meet up. Today, for the first time, I tried calling, and just went to voice mail. Tried several times. I was standing off to the side and trying to call again when an employee comes by and says. “You can’t use your phone in here anymore”. Of course I ask why. And he replied,”Wal Mart is actively blocking all cell phone service in their stores”. He didn’t know why. So my question to you is. Why are they doing this? Middle TN here. Same experience. Started a few months ago. |

Lowes and depot are same way Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79577071 This^ Every time I go to Home Depot and get far enough into the store there is no cell service. Metal construction is terrible for cell service and WiFi. If you build a home with metal studs, you are going to have a bad time with signals in your house. |

This. People walk through our store all day long and scan the bar code on the products and buy them online. It really sucks to talk to someone for half an hour and tell them exactly what they need and they scan it and buy it at amazon. I get it its cheaper, but without me you wouldnt have known what part to get and that is killing business. People call in and ask for part #s . I tell them no. They get jacked but I dont get paid to sell parts for Amazon. amazon sells to the public for the same price my distributer charges me. In some cases my actual distributers sell directly to the public for the same prices they sell to me for. Its going to kill retail. The waste is so high with amazon, people trying to figure out the parts they need and sending back product 3 or 4 times trying to get the right parts instead of paying me a measly 20 or 30% markup to get the right stuff the first time and be done. |

I ask where our price tag went? They dont get a return. But if its something they can open and put the new product back in our back then return it what can I do. Its kinda sad. |

Actively blocking cell signals would violate federal law. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78049307 Are you going to soothing you jackass no nothing it's only illegal if they get caught you dumb bastard it's people like you that let them get away with it because you're such an a****** thinking there's anyone who's going to stop them that this f****** world is that hell it is you and people like you you f****** miserable stink other than that f*** you |
