Walmart

Note a fan of Wal-​Mart. I’d rather shop at target, but sometimes Wal-​Mart just makes more sense. It’s more affordable, they offer more items, I think, than target. Depending on what you’re looking for. I was going to see about getting a nose ring out of the secure case In the jewelry department. There was one girl behind the counter. And she was helping an older man pick out a peice of jewelry. No worries, I just browsed around the department until she was free. As soon as she finished up with him, she came over right away, greeted me a smile and was very helpful. I appreciate that. So props to her, she rocks. This brings me to the check out. Can I get some pleasant customer service over here? Of course not, it’s Wal-​Mart. That’s their down fall. The woman at the register rang up every single item of mine and hadn’t said I’ve word to me. Not one. No «hi, how are you» or «Hows the weather» nothing. No acknowledgment of me as a customer. She spoke to me when she had to, to tell me the total. And to say a abrupt «thank you» as she passed me my receipt. Get your customer service together lady. Take some tips from the girl in the jewelry department. Its unfortunate you were my last impression in that store. I’ll shop at the Wal-​Mart in Stillwater next time.

Not sure why I continue to go back for more frustration at this Walmart – well because it is less than three miles from my house I guess.
Just another one star on behalf of my last visit. I purchased two shirts from a Woodbury Walmart on Saturday. A hanes t-​shirt for under 6.00 and a MN twin’s shirt for 19.99 — tags were still on both shirts I picked up the wrong size in both and tried to return these to my local walmart Monday for a gift card or exchange. I was told because they were purchased at a superstore — i had to return them to a superstore. I did not take my receipt. I am just lazy… shame on me but more importantly SHAME ON YOU WALLY WORLD… I THINK SAM IS PROBABLY ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE with the way you have been treating customers… not the business model he developed…

Today I went to the Hudson walmart. Even though they were very busy, finding a person to help me with what I needed and checking out went very smoothly.

Folks Walmart is not the kind of business to expect anything but really cheap prices, on almost any product you can imagine. Busy stores like the Hudson Walmart probably sell close to $ 500,000 per day!!!
The guy that is stocking the shelves doesn’t care about collectibles or anything else. He is making $ 12 an hour to put them on the shelf why would he care if someone buy up the special ones?
For families such as mine Walmart is a God send. We bought our diapers and formula at Walmart and it saved us close to $ 80 per month over buying them in River Falls. I think Walmart is one of the best stores in the world and I am happy that I get to shop there.

Okay this warrants a Unilocal.I rarely if ever go to Wally, preferring Target for its donations to local schools (plug: get a Target Visa, and 10% of purchases goes to the school of your choice.). A big nod to Unilocal for providing forum that people can share not only their opinions but their experiences as citizen journalists.
Husband and son were in the Wally World toy dept., and the Hot Wheels shipment was out on the floor in five boxes. According to a Hot Wheels collector’s book, this outrageous act happens frequently at many stores like Wally: An employee tips off a friend or acquaintance (or is perhaps paid) to let that person know when they will be putting out the stock/​shipments of toys that are presumed collectible. So the tip-​ee can be the first to dig through boxes and score all the «collectible» items (and probably put them on ebay or other online store) before they are even displayed retail.
This guy was digging through all the boxes taking out all the «treasure hunt cars,» which are evidently sought after among collectors. They cost 97 cents at Wally’s but sell for $ 20 on Ebay, says husband. Said guy was digging through each box, while an employee sat idly by around the corner not doing anything, apparently, except being a lookout, according to my trusted source, the husband.
Husband made the comment to the guy, «So that’s one way to get them, eh?» Hub said the guy appeared very nervous and looked as if he was getting away with something.
Ei yi yi.
