Waste of materials on Walmarts behalf!!

November 25th, 2007 at 09:45 pm

For the past several years, I have used the Franklin Covey dayone organizer. I have the leather binder book case cover thing, and have always just bought the refills. This organizer is organized the same way my brain is. I also have in it an address book, credit card/library card holder, places for photos, and a section for special notes--like my ink cartrige size, clothing sizes, a pouch to hold a caculator, pens & a notepad, and a coupon organizer. It has everything except a kitchen sink in it.
Well, I can't find the refills. I called Franklin and they say it is a "made for Walmart" product and they don't sell it directly. But, all the Walmart stores around here have decided not to sell the refills (have to buy the entire set up again including the binder and address book and all the plastic pages...) for $30 some bucks. All I need are the $7 2008 pages. None of the other brands who make refills will fit my book.
Today I looked at one more walmart on the way home from church. Down that aisle I saw the manager and voiced my opinion to her. You know what she did?? She agreed with me, because she used the same system and is also unhappy that their district manager dropped the product. She sold me the entire new binder with the pages all in it for $7!!! She agreed it is a waste of money and materials. Yee haw for her and her customer service!! A rarity these days!

    Wow! That's great that she was willing to do that for you! Rare from a big box retailer. That makes no sense that the company and Walmart sell this product that way. Fast way for it to disappear from shelves entirely.
