Walmart Supercenter

fyi– this Wal-​Mart isn’t 24hrs. The hours listed on Unilocal & the location listed in the Savings Catcher app are wrong.
The other Wal-Mart’s I checked said they opened at 0600. Since this is one said it was 24hrs– I figured it was good. Not a good theory to check at 0430, when the rest of the world is asleep. My bad (–again).

I have to say, what is up with all the employees smoking by the far left front door right before you walk in to Walmart. So unprofessional and who wants to small smoke!

It;s a Walmart, but it is relatively neat, clean, and well organized.
I usually do not have any problem finding what I need.

Walmart on Marron in Oceanside they started checking receipts of their customers… I am a mixed woman of African descent was stopped on two occasions where the Walmart associate stopped me to check my receipt but let several Caucasian customers walk out without checking their receipts. I asked why did you not stop them so you could check their receipts and the associated replied «I can’t check everyones.» I responded to the associate «you can’t pick and choose if you are checking some you have to check everyone.» Later that evening my boyfriend who is Caucasian went to the same Walmart to pick something up and walked past the same Walmart associate who stopped me and was not stopped but noticed the associated stopping another African American family to check their receipt.

This store tried to have my mom arrested for trying on a shirt. After searching her, calling the police, and causing lots of drama I can surely say that I will never step foot into a walmart again in my life. Especially this one. The staff here has always been incredibly rude and unhelpful, but this time was way over the line. Expect a lawsuit.

I have experienced racism for as long as I can remember, when I walk into most establishments, strangers judge me, Caucasians give me unwelcoming looks. This use to happen on a weekly basis, sadly, ever since Donald Trump has been running, it is now happening on a daily basis. I just left this Walmart location, when exiting the garden center, there was a Caucasian elderly male wearing a hat nicely saying goodbye to a Caucasian woman exiting with a cart full of groceries. I attempted to exit with my two grocery bags which contained two items in each bag, to be specific, one bag had Hawaiian rolls and a beef stew packet, the second bag had biscuit dough and turkey stuffing mix (no electronics, nothing expensive), the Walmart employee stopped me and asked for my receipt which my 2 year old son was holding, he asked my son for the receipt and continued matching my items with the ones listed on my receipt. I said nothing and just cooperated. As I continued to my car, I paused around the corner to see if this man would do the same to the Caucasian woman with the FULL cart behind me, he did not. I loaded my SUV and slowly drove past to watch some more. I was the absolute only person in those 10 minutes who he asked to check the receipt. I am livid and could not let this go unnoticed. I intend on discussing this further with Management as this is not the first time this has happened. Please note, this was in no way a misunderstanding so save your breath.

Not sure I should even bother reviewing Walmart, because I think everyone knows the service is terrible, but I had a particularly bad experience. I wanted to buy an electronic device that was nearly sold out. I looked online and put it in my online cart as a pick-​up. Then I decided to go to the store Sunday night, May 8^th, and buy it instead, as there was only one left. I called and asked them to hold it. When I got there, the guy could not find it. After maybe 20 minutes of him looking everywhere except the cabinet with the devices in it, I asked a second guy and he said he had taken the call to hold it but never actually took it out of the cabinet to hold it. so I went to buy it and it rang up as $ 50 more. I showed them the price on
. They said they could not sell it to me for that because
said it was out of stock. But it was not out of stock– the guy was holding it in his hand. They even got a manager involved and she wouldn’t honor the price either. It was probably because I had put the item in my electronic cart. But they refused to acknowledge that. So I had to go home, but it online, and then go back to the store the next day to pick it up. I’m sorry, but people need to use their brains. If you’re holding an item then it is not out of stock. And you should honor the price advertised on your own website in any event.

Super large interior stocking every item imaginable from auto repair to outdoor plants to fresh groceries to pet supplies. Many «premium» items I usually buy at Target were easily found here like fancy gelato. Everything was clean and in order. Staffers were friendly for the most part, though no one seemed to go out of their way to see if they could help me find anything with my craning neck and puzzled look.
A massive solar panel array doubles as parking lot shade, beating places like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s at their own save the planet game.

I am not exaggerating wheni say that from what I recall I don’t know that I had ever had an employee at Walmart ask if they can help me find something or look away from what they are currently doing to try and help at all (maybe once?). But I have had an interaction with Allen about 5 times now who works in electronics. My girlfriend was with me last time we saw him and she agreed that he is very funny and Incredibly helpful. He doesn’t just give us what we want but he actually takes the time to ask how your day was and he smiles a lot and throws in a joke or two. I think it is worth mentioning his name because to me he is the best employee there.

Well, it’s Walmart! What can I say. I enjoy coming here right after the holidays to stock up on stuff for the following year. I work in education and am thankful for savings I get but every year the availability of sale items decreases. I think they are just ordering less every year.
I like the convenience of being open 24 hours, which is nice for when everything else is closed. They have a huge selection of fresh, frozen and non perishable food. Their prices on snacks is descent. They have everything from toys, to electronics, to gardening, to housewares. This place is great for last minute items. I truly only buy snacks/​drinks and personal care items with the occasional after holiday sale purchase.
The parking lot is huge and yet sometimes it’s still a challenge to find parking. Staff isn’t always happy or friendly. Lines are dreadfully long at all times of the day and it never ceases that there is always a purchase that requires everyone in line to wait for a manager to remediate.
As far as the alcohol goes, they have a descent selection of beer. No craft beers though. And they will card EVERYONE in your party. If you’re with kids– forget it! You won’t even be able to buy alcohol. This makes no sense to me at all. You should be able to buy your own booze as a parent shopping with a kid. I must say this is only the second store that has done this. Fresh and Easy used to do this too– and resulted in me shopping there less.
I totally prefer Target over Wamart any day– except after 10pm when Target is closed. Lol.

Walmart lets people bring their dogs-​not service animals-​into the store and defecate all over the isles. It’s disgusting. Low life magnet.

I like Walmart and the convenience of one-​stop shopping. As big as the store is, it is clean, organized and well stocked, with great prices.

Typical walmart !
just hate the fact they treat the employees so bad and they are worth billions

I wish there was a way to select «zero» stars above, not even worth the one. I shouldn’t complain, after all, we’re talking about Walmart who tends to hire those who cannot work anywhere else due to lack of education and in all probability a lack of personality. Got one of those today, «Deborah». Only two regular check stands open with 3 – 4 people with full carts backed up. I had a couple of dozen things, they had a check stand marked «20 items or less». When I got there, I put things on the counter and told that cashier «Deborah» that I might be a bit over, but should be close. Total purchase $ 160, and I had 28 items. Deborah gets the receipt and starts violently running a pen in circles on the receipt, not sure what that was about until I saw she was circling «28 items». Obviously a message to me that I was a total asshole coming to her line (by the way, NO ONE behind me). Oh, and of course, got handed the receipt with a «there you go», no «thank you for spending $ 160» or anything like that. And these people want $ 15/​per hour… I think she needs a little anger management or something, and I DID say ahead of time that I might be a little over…

Walmart has the stupidest alcohol policy. Why does everyone in your party have to show their ID? If I’m with kids I can’t buy myself a drink!
Fuck Walmart!

I call in to return an item and the lady didnt understand me she finally understood me and i asked her to try to look up the item using the bar code and she hung up what a rude employee!

«I’m on my break & off the clock– I can’t help you.»
To the young lady (17−25ish), 5’3, with black hair in a bun– working on 12/​30/​2015, around 1230…3 problems with this:
(1) WEARING your Walmart vest = you’re «On-​the-​clock». If you’re NOT «on the clock», take your vest off so us low-​life, peasants won’t bother you. Employees wear that vest so customers can pick them out, right?;
(2) not only is your work-​ethic, ridiculous– but your attitude sucks. Your condescending tone toward me, a loyal/​repeat, 20-​year customer, was worse than your refusal to answer my question. It’s not WHAT you said to me– it’s the snotty way you said it. You didn’t even have the courtesy to direct me to someone who WOULD help me. You basically told a loyal customer to go to hell;
(3) if you’re employed by Walmart, you’re in «Customer Service” — plain and simple.
You hate the crowds? –we do, too. You hate the crowds during the holidays? –we do, too. Did you have a long day and would rather be anywhere else but there? –same, here. Only difference is, you’re paid to be there– if you ‘hate the crowds’ on ANY day, you should find another job– one that’s NOT in customer service.

I’m writing here because I haven’t finished my letter to the corporate office, yet. Once I get your name & the manager of #5075, I will. I understand Walmart policies are strict & I understand there’s a huge layer of bureaucracy that hinders perfection– but we’re paying-​customers. That’s not our problem– that level of b.s. isn’t even yours. To be helpful, costs nothing– but being rude could cost you your job.

I have nothing against Walmart, but this particular store always bothers me. The checkout lines are always very long and very slow and they almost always only have maybe 3 – 4 registers open. Now, what set me over the top was that my boyfriend and I went shopping and picked out some sodas (Fanta mango) we took it home I was putting it away and noticed a return receipt on it. Written on this receipt says «did not meet expectation. TASTE NASTY.» I look at the top of the bottle it’s freaking open.
So I purchased a bottle of soda that was already opened by someone else. Who knows what that person did to it. Why the heck would anyone put that back on a shelf to resell??? I am Absolutely disgusted.

Walmart carries your everyday essentials for cheap prices. Usually there is someone in the front entrance to greet you by saying «Welcome to Walmart». There service deli section carries meats/​cheeses you can have sliced by the clerk working the department. They also carry hot foods such as hot dogs, tater tots, fries, chicken nuggets etc. I believe each night is different. I haven’t ordered anything from the deli however every time I go everything in the case looks dry, or burnt not really appetizing for me. I’ve purchased some fruits and veggies here and I’ve been disappointed in the quality and it didn’t seem fresh compared to Albertson’s and Costco. The Bakery department is pretty basic-​cookies, pies, store made birthday cakes etc. If your craving something sweet you should purchase it else where. I only come here when I really need to grab something as the parking lot is always packed, carts are always left by cars, solicitor’s are always by the front door, and there seems to be a long line just to purchase a few items.

My main issue with this particular location is that, there are NEVER carts out in the morning. Last I came here was last Saturday at 8:27am. As I drove into the parking lot, I noticed one grocery cart in the cart return at the garden center. I was so excited and went out of my way to park literally right next to it cause I do not leave my baby and toddler alone in the car. I opened my door and out loud I said «yay 1 cart!» This inconsiderate bitch/​employee looked straight at me, put her purse in the cart and walked it into the front door. She didn’t even use it, I followed her with my car and she literally put it in the door and walked away. This was done intentionally cause she wanted to be a bitch. She even heard me out loud saying that I get a cart. She even saw that I had a baby and a toddler with me. I was so livid. I left and purchased my $ 200 grocery list at Ralph’s!

It’s a Saturday in summer time and they just ran out of ice, terrible management. Customer service only has two cashiers working on a Saturday!!! That’s terrible.

I am not a fan of Walmart in general, but hey. I need to save money too! Anyway, this location is ideal. I live half way between this Walmart and the Walmart off Vista Way, but I choose specifically to come here– even if I am closer to the other one at the time. The reason? It is way less crowded! And its cleaner too. Somewhat organized but not very much. So having said this is my preferred location, I have to say that they are ALWAYS out of something I need. hence the 3-​star rating. I go for lemons and they have been completely out several times! My carbonated water brand… they have had the same one container sitting there forever with no restock. Coconut almond milk last time… they were out. Zesty pickles this recent time… they were out. I come here for a few things only, so its frustrating when they are out of stock. Having said all this, it is still the best location for less people. The only nicer one Ive ever seen is off Pico in San Clemente. That one is def catered towards the rich folk!

I used to go here several times a week but the produce was Yuck. So it was back to Albertsons. Today The Mr. needed knee braces so I thought I’ll give it another shot– I can get my everything on the list in one shot. Got all our shopping done and was like the 5^th person in line checking out in the back recognized the checker as the last one I dealt with here that made me never want to come back. Last time she yelled the system is down you all need to go to the front to check out and I refused telling her I have no appointments I can wait till you fix it, I have already waited so long I don’t want to wait in another line up front. It did not make her happy that I was insistent to wait for the fix? I have never had a problem with Walmart wanting to take my money, nor have I ever had a problem of Walmart’s system not accepting my card. So today same lady cashier last register at garden checkout starts the same MO the system is down– when people came to help her she sent them away saying ITS THE SYSTEM ITS THE SYSTEM! When it was my turn I said try one item and lets see if it goes thru– and it did until she clicked buttons and said it was declined– oh you should go to the front it’s happening everywhere. Why would I go to the front if it’s happening everywhere to wait in a line only to be told System is down for cards? Magically after 3x’s it worked– Like she did me a favor. Only after I said well you can put all this stuff away– cause I spent my time shopping and waiting in line– it’s all you to put this away since you can’t take my money and magically my card worked. Seriously are they that hard up for employees that they hire people who get overstressed with more than 2 people in line that they have to generate non-​necessary drama.

Its Walmart. What else can I say. You get what you pay for.
The photo center guy was super awesome though and very helpful and super nice. I didn’t really like the instant print machines they have here though. I liked the old machines they had awhile ago better. Although the new machines let you download an app so you can upload your pictures onto the machine via wi-​fi.

Walmart overall is not known for their customer service, but rather for low prices & that is exactly what you get. Their customer service is, practically non-​existent and employees act like you are bugging them just by asking where something is located. The one on College is particularly terrible — make sure you carefully look, at all of your produce & make sure you check expiration dates, because they DO NOT!
And watch out for price matching because their policy has loopholes. If you’re xmas shopping, go elsewhere.

I really, really start with 5-​stars because overall. .. it’s a very good store. HOWEVER, they really need to improve their produce and dairy offerings. I don’t know what time of day you restock product but it needs to be done more than twice a day. I shop here about three times a week for work and home and always feel like I have to «settle». .. I want to pick from an abundance of good fruit. I also really want you to start carrying natural coffee creamers in the pint sized container. Bring in soy and coconut pints of creamer. And restock the creamer fridges more than once a day. Go there and see for yourself. Almost as much empty space as their is product. And please offer Fage Greek yogurt with the fruit cup side option. Fage is the only Greek yogurt you carry without milk that has been exposed to hormones. I want to shop at Walmart, not at Walmart, Ralph’s and Costco. Come on, pretty please? P. S. Whether you’re liberal or a right wing nut job, it doesn’t matter like some Unilocalers seem to think, just provide some helpful advice to management to make your shopping experience a better one.

For a Walmart, it is actually a pretty nice store. Overall the staff is helpful and friendly. The store is pretty well stocked also, very few times have they not had the item I was looking for. Checkout is actually pretty speedy and the lines usually are not too bad.

How the heck does a SUPERcenter run outta milk??? And why are there soooo many empty shelves??? Why do you have 22 registers and only 4 open with huge lines??? Every time we come here it just gets worse!!! Very upset!!!

As a corporation I like Walmart. While they don’t often have outrageous sales they are almost always quite a bit cheaper. My favorite thing about walmart is that they will price match the sales of any local grocery store. You don’t even need to have proof. Simply tell the clerk about another stores sale and they will honor the price. You can read more about it online if you are curious.
The only reason I have to give it 3 stars is because my favorite groceries are frequently out of stock. I usually start out shopping here but have to hit up the grocery store across the street to get what walmart was out of.
Things they have been out of include: white onions, quacker peanut butter granola bars, loreal volumizing shampoo/​conditioner, Johnsons cocoa butter lotion, pampers cruisers diapers, gerber bottle nipples, and ocean potion sunscreen to name a few. Would be thrilled if a manager saw this and worked on keeping these items in stock.
Also, I’m sad this store will no longer be open 24 hours. I loved doing my grocery shopping in the middle of the night!

Lmfao you people are hilarious just because it’s a large corporation doesn’t mean regular people don’t work there. They aren’t super human customer service reps they are people earning a pay check. So what if they smoke in front of the store are they blowing it in your face? They are probably having a cigarette because of ass holes like you who fucking always have something to complain about. And it’s not like they can tell you to shit the fuck up otherwise they lose there job. So What They Smoke LOL fuck Off. It’s walmart get over yourselves. your lucky walmart even exists they have a great variety if you want perfect your gunna need to find a miracle go to sprouts or whole foods they pride themselves on being amazing! Lmfao

Whats with the low rating people are giving this store? Its a great store, well stocked new and clean and the employees are very nice and helpful. They even have a cool solar roof over the car park that provides economical electricity for the store while keeping the cars cool and cleaner.
I don’t understand the liberal negativity about Walmart. Its only common sense to buy things for less price, and most things are of good quality. Its boycotted because its one of the few businesses that has not been intimidated into going union.
Labor unions do nothing for the employees but take a huge chunk of their money every month and intimate everyone who doesn’t fall in step with their liberal agenda.
Don’t be a lemming, think for yourself and use common sense and go to Walmart!
This is a good one!

Disclosure– I’m not a fan of Walmart. There’s something about the fluorescent lights, cavernous ceilings, narrow aisles, and horribly tacky clothing.
I have found myself shopping at here four times because it’s on the way to my girls’ school. I was happy to find the kid’s shoes that I saw online and happy to check out.
Walmart seems to have most everything you need for household things– most of the time. I’ve purchased laundry boosters like Borax, Calgon water softener; things that I can’t get at Target. And if it carries the same item as Target, it’s probably $.11-.22 less in cost.(Target prices most things ending in .99 while Walmart ends it in .77) Certainly not worth driving out of your way unless you are buying huge quantities of something…
So for me, this Walmart is a necessary evil that will probably be in my future.
