Dishonesty......
The other night my wife was going to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. Knowing that my company truck was needing a P/M in a few days I told her to pick up the oil, and filter that I would need. So...

I had to check the image twice. After reading the OP's post I thought they were in Hagerstown MD.
A few months ago I went to Wal-Mart to buy oil and filter for my 08 6.4. I usually open the box, but this time the boxes were also looking a bit sad (worn ink, little off square, etc) so I was not about to buy one without opening it. I looked through all of the 4 they had on the shelf, 3 of the filters appeared to be off square (one missing the bag with o-ring) and one filter box had a "supertech" (Wal-Mart brand) filter in it. I took all of them to the auto service counter and the individual behind the counter just shrugged his shoulders and said "they should be ok". I asked if I should put them back on the shelf and he nodded. I bought the oil, but skipped on the filters and drove to the nearest Autozone for a filter.
I'm not saying only Wal-Mart has to deal with unethical thieves, but I could not believe the "service center tech" at Wal-Mart just had me put the damaged and incorrect filter back on the shelf. I guess you get what you pay for in labor as well as products. I have never taken a vehicle to Wal-Mart for an oil change and probably never will.
I am not Anti-WalMart, I believe that much of their workforce earns a fair wage for what they do, but I believe that some of the same people complaining about unfair wages will never better themselves or their work ethic, whether making $8 an hour or $80 an hour.
Hope Wal-Mart makes restitution.
