Walmart Supercenter

Rude costumer service… nope don’t carry a clip on watch. When I found one on shelf clerk replied ‘good for you’ that’s a pocket watch not a clip on. Not helpful at all!

Sooooo we bought alcohol at this Walmart by using my daughter’s high school ID…
I don’t like Walmart. Unfortunately, it’s close by our lake house so if I’m in a rush, my options are limited. Fortunately, Meijer (which really isn’t much better) is close as well so I have an alternative from now on.
The reason I’ve finally decided to review is because of how we were treated on New Year’s Eve. I took my 15 year old daughter and her two friends to the store to buy some groceries to make NYE dinner. I had been on a bloody Mary kick lately and picked up a bottle of mix and a small bottle of vodka. I rarely drink, let alone purchase alcohol so I was aware that they would likely ask for ID.
I showed the lady my ID and then she asked for the ID of my daughter and her friends. I told the lady that my daughter and her friends were 15 and that they didn’t have IDs. The lady then said she didn’t think my ID was mine and didn’t feel comfortable making any decisions and she didn’t want to get fired (I completely understand) so she called over another lady. That lady was skeptical that it was my actual ID and then told me that she couldn’t allow me to purchase the vodka because I could be buying alcohol for these minors. I explained again that the one girl was my daughter and the other two were her friends. She said «Josh the manager» had to make the decision.
By now, the line is backed up and it’s been called to everyone’s attention nearby that I’m potentially buying alcohol for teenagers. Great. Josh comes over and with an attitude I’ve come to expect from Walmart, he looks at my ID, then me, then my ID, then tells me that he needs the IDs of the girls. AGAIN, I explain that they are my daughter and her two friends. He doesn’t believe it’s my daughter and asks for ID from her again. I tell him that she has a high school ID card and he asks for that. He looks at it, looks at me, looks at my ID, looks at her and with that same attitude, tells the cashier to finish the purchase. It took 20 minutes to check out.
AND THAT, boys and girls, is how we purchased alcohol using my daughter’s high school ID.
Seriously, I wouldn’t bother going there unless you really, really have to.
Positives:
*Most of the employees are sweet and helpful
*It’s convenient
Negatives:
*It’s Walmart
*The pharmacy line is always long and slow
*The produce quality is lacking
*Several times, we have run into someone «vaping» in the grocery

I really dislike Walmarts in general and try to avoid them as much as possible, but sometimes you just NEED something from Walmart.
My mom and I went in about a month ago to get her a bicycle. Their selection was awful. I did try to pull some out of the racks and almost maimed myself doing so. The kicker was the two employees (teenaged boys) who just walked (and then stood) in front of us, talking, completely ignoring both of us. They were literally inches away and HAD to notice me struggling with taking the bikes out and putting them back in. It was really the worst customer service experience I’ve had in a long time. My mom and I were pretty baffled, exchanging «Are you SERIOUS?!» glances. Holy lack of customer service!
Needless to say we headed to another big-​name store and spent our money there.
Really, there’s a reason I go to Target and Meijer before (begrudgingly) heading to Walmart. Ughhhhh.
