I parked my Avlanche in a handicap parking area right in front of Sam's Club entrance, in Las Vegas, Nv. After my shoppingn was completed, I went to my car, when I got in I looked forward and did not see anything thing. I pulled forward and hit a yellow pole, it was about 30 inches tall, you could not see it from inside the truck, it should have had a 6 ft. Sign sticking in it, but it was missing. My son went inside and told the lady checking your receipts, she said I don. T know why they dont fix that sign, its been hit many times. The manager came out (Michael) took pictures and I filled out a reporte. The Walmart Insurance Co. Called and said they would not pay for the accident because it was not their fault I had hit it, what if it had been a kid, would that be their fault, I said if the sign had been there, I would not have hit it, it is a law American Disabilities Act, it must be 60 inches tall so it can been seen inside you car. All the other signs and poles are at least 8 ft. Tall but the one that has been removed. It has been 3-4 weeks I go back and check every week, they have not fixed it yet. The insurance lady Sue Szafranowicz said it has been broke for a year.
That tells me Walmart/Sams club could care less about disabled people or goverment laws and the ADA act. No excuise for not replacing a sign after a year. I am reporting them every place I can. They have no respect for anyone. The repair is a little under $700.00 but the fact for 65.00 the cost of a new sign they could save several people this problem. I was told 5 or 6 people had hit it already. I have pictures of everything, inside, outside the short pole, the regular poles, the size it should have been 8-10 ft. Tall
