35 days for Walmart to cancel my account.

That is ridiculous. I'm told that I cannot use my phone number to make a new account with Walmart for 35 days. "Oh, you can use somebody else's phone number," forsooth. Well, no I can't, there is nobody else, and I wouldn't want to go through the nightmare of changing it later anyway.

My account was hacked, and this is the crap they tell me. Meanwhile, I pointed out that they were dealing with a fraudulent third-party company who used their stationery to confirm orders and send a delivery notice (news flash: the product fraudulently ordered was not delivered), and overnight, that company is removed from their stores.

Priorities, amiright?

Walmart is the best option. Take it up with Social Security for sending me such a pittance every month.
