1. Years ago when they first entered this area, I bought a short sleeved shirt from them.
   It felt " off " somehow, after wearing a couple of times I looked down at my arms and the sleeve on one arm was
   about 3 inches longer than the other side ( my arms are equal length ). It was not marked "irregular or second ".
2. I bought great value thick easy pour bleach - the bottle developed a leak and emptied onto the floor in the laundry
   room ( luckily a concrete floor )
3.great value steak sauce ( taste exactly like A1 to me ) bottle warped in fridge and leans to 11 oclock instead of
  straight up.
4.bought two clocks ( made in china ) with large numbers to be seen across room ( Timex and ? ) neither worked so
  returned both.
5. bought Murray fwd self propelled mower- only 140cc, stopped every few seconds and had no traction. Took me 3
   hours longer to cut grass due to many restarts and pushing fwd mower.Probably a poor decision on my part to buy that cheap Murray. ( Next week GOT A HONDA RWD that works great from Northern Tool ) )
6.In order to keep prices low Walmart has lower quality standards for some of their products like clothing.electronics,
  lawn equipment, etc.
7. 6 quart oil change container leaks due to cheap gasket

I really like GV spicy sausage patties, and GV gingerale , and choose them over any national brand

In retrospect I must be more diligent in product selection to avoid time and gas wasting return trips to wally world.

You do realize that out side of the GV brands Walmart has no control over QC
