Walmart latest Auto repair rip-off servicer?

Some possible insight about the chain oil change shops.

At 100,000 miles I was living in Wyoming and was told to have my transmission fluid changed. Hadn't done it previously so I thought why not? Seems like after 100,000 miles that should probably be done (may or may not be true I have no idea).

I get back to Vermont and take my truck in to have the oil changed. They list off a number of things I need done which included the transmission fluid change. I mentioned that I just had my transmission fluid changed before the trek across the country and the manager tells me "oh I just have this list here for things to suggest you should have done based on your cars mileage, I'll make a note that you had that done so that we won't ask you again". I never went back, don't need robots that are incapable of making decisions based on what my vehicle actually needs anywhere near my truck.
