Walmart

What else can I say but it’s a Walmart. This location has a pretty good selection and a decent grocery section. Prices as always are pretty good, especially for everyday items, but for other stuff the quality isn’t as good. What can I say, but I’m still a fan.

There are FREQUENTLY many checkstands closed and large lines behind the few open lanes. They do keep the express aisle open but they need more cashiers. Supervisors/​managers (?) are chatting away off to the side while customers are waiting in long lines. Why can’t they open a register and help out a bit? Seems like all they do is hang out in their little booth and come out now and again to give the cashiers some change.
The few GOOD things about the Paso Wal-​Mart: the pharmacy techs are usually kind, patient and helpful on the phone and in person. Also the guy (Phil? really blonde hair, thin build) in the photo department should get a raise because he’s so polite, knowledgable and friendly!!! And most of the veteran cashiers are nice. And the guy who stocks the dairy aisle is nice. (Used to have long hair – plays in a band, I think.) Oh – and Gil the guy who does the shopping carts is hard-​working and friendly.

This is a rough draft I’ll clean it up later Okay so this is the Paso Robles Walmart and it is not a typical of most of Walmart’s I usually go to the Arroyo Grande 1 but I was on my way to the Central Valley and thought I would stop here to pick up a few Provisions along the way. One thing that stood out with this Walmart over most was the cleanliness of the place. I think the Arroyo Grande Walmart must be much older and or is just so polluted with tourists coming from all over the country and world that they just don’t have time to keep it clean. The other thing that stood out about this Walmart over others was the fact that the staff were actually helpful. While at the Arroyo Grande Walmart one time I asked one of the workers where I could find a clock and he said I have no idea and went back to his work. I said so that’s it we’re just done here that’s the amount of help I’m going to get from you and he said and I’m not kidding yeah pretty much. Now this was the guy in the guns and knives section so there was no way I was going to get into a verbal confrontation with this man.
So why four stars well it is Walmart and that’s pretty much it it’s just Walmart however I thought the staff were courteous and helpful the place was clean and that set it Above the Rest in Walmart fashion.

Do not use the photo shop when associate Paige is working, she is rude, condescending, and offers the worst customer service!

Was looking for stuff in the grocery department asked an elderly Caucasian where to find produce and she ignored us until we asked agian she finally rudely kind of told us only turned her back on us kept walking and talking… (bitch) We decided to ask this gentlemen instead… Not only did he told us isle number he told us what side and next to what… Cant go wrong with that… Thank You so much DOUGLAS… At register Betty was very nice to us polite and veey friendly… 5 starts just because of Douglas and Betty… Without them you would of recieved a phone call…

Had to search vigorously for some help in electronics, hence once someone finally appeared it happens to be a extremely immature person who goes by the name of «Billy» extremely rude and said «oh not now» when I asked for help at 9:30 apparently he was busy walking around the store talking to his buddy who also is an employee. REFUSE TO COME BACK. Target earned another customer

Well I was there last month and it was slightly less horrible so I figured I should update my review (I have considered it multiple times). Still crazy lines. It’s like I’m at Costco sometimes. Rude employees are still there BUT there was way less trash this time. At least they took one of the things I had complained about in my last post and fixed it. I paid cash (I’ve found cash is always needed in this area… Still…) so I didn’t notice the card terminals so they might have been updated. Now just to improve on training.

I am doing this review based on comparison to other Walmart I have been to. First and this is probably the most important thing is for whatever reason they can not keep certain items stocked, which is horrible if you need to buy diapers or milk. YES this store seriously ran out of all the 2% milk, 1% milk and only had a few gallons of D. Layout is pretty bad too, very disorganized, dirty, have to check clothing sizes and not go off of the hangers size. Some employees are really nice, but there are some who really need to get laid, or something.

Customer Service employees suck! Very rude, old ladies who must hate their job! If you can avoid the customer service department… Do it!

I know it’s a Walmart and that makes it the lowest of the low but this store is a MESS! The cosmetic section is thrashed beyond belief with open packages and displays painted with nail polish-​gross! The whole store is dirty. I needed specific brand of basic T-​shirt for my husband and the section was so disorganized, I gave up!
I will GLADLY pay a teeny tiny percentage more to shop at Target where the brands are better quality and they have a better variety. Not to mention that the shelves are usually stocked well and neatly, too!

I have had it with Wal-​Mart being out of stock for so many items especially food items. Today there were 7 items out of stock out of the 20 I wanted to buy. Ridiculous. I have complained about this to in-​store personnel over and over. Nothing changes.
The pharmacy is the worse! Slow service.
On the bright side, the cashiers are very friendly and have a good sense of humor.

Worst experience of my life. I have never had such issues. They don’t honor their own coupons. We got a coupon in the mail and asked them to accept it, but we were denied. The employees and a manager of customer service had no idea of their own policies or what kind of things they have circulated out. We asked for their help. Not to be there and read all their policies because they didn’t know anything.
Please Walmart employees know or learn your policy. Otherwise why are you there? There was also such poor customer service. You need to filter out some of the employees or re train them.
I spend so much money here and so does my family and we never encountered such an awful time. I will never myself come back to this walmart ever ever again. You are the worst Paso Robles Walmart.
Also your racial profiling on customers carts is the worst. You probably have more criminals working for you then the people you assume are steeling. Awful awful.

If you need fabric, you will pay low prices, but be prepared to wait a half hour to find anyone that is skilled enough to cut fabric.

I haven’t been in a Walmart Superstore in a loooong time. But apparently the selection has gone waaay down.
I needed one thing. Shoes. My nerve pain on one foot from a pair of heels I wore a few weeks back really disliked the drive and I needed some super loose shoes to wear during our Hearst Castle tour.
Picking up a pair of 6 dollar throwaways was the biggest positive to this trip beyond the sparkly hightops I nabbed. Because sparkles.
The service was friendly, but again — the selection was much less than I was used to with Target. But the throwaways got the job done and Walmart had more of a selection for certain types of shoes than Payless did. The service was better too.
So hey, Walmart… you did pretty well this time.

This is like any Walmart that I have been to with the exception that there was not a lot of people riding on carts, mostly upright.
I was looking for something and it was pretty obvious from the searching stare I was giving but passed by at least a half dozen employees who did not offer any assistance. Finally asked one who said they weren’t sure and told me to look at the front of the store… thanks.
I also love how people at Walmart can’t find the cart return and they just leave their shopping carts where they want even though they could be five steps from the place they belong. Always a laugh there, I heard a comedian say that there will never be world peace as long as people can’t put away their shopping carts. I guess he had Walmart in mind when he said that joke.

Out of 40# cracked corn yet again! You’d think the store Manager would order more… Guess we’re expecting too much. Calling ahead for a stock check is useless… Endless hold almost every time.

This Walmart is a bit more disappointing than others re: the RV dept. You would expect this location to have a bit more than others in the way of accessories, cleaning products & small parts due to the close proximity of so many RV sales & parts businesses & RV Parks. Missed business opportunity for them & waste of time for us.
They did however, have a McDonald’s inside & at the opposite end of the parking lot about 300 feet from each other. As long as they have their priorities together. NOT!!!

I am not a fan of Walmart. At all. However, when you’re poor af and you need a place to buy cheap, bulk toilet paper and get medication from a pharmacy at a discounted price, Walmart becomes glorious. It becomes convenient. It becomes that pang in your gut that is full of regret.
I am impressed with this Walmart’s employees. I have never received bad customer service from this location, ever. Maybe I go at really good times or maybe I have low expectations, but every time I have received satisfactory customer service.
What I like the most is that when I’m at the check-​out the cashiers are willing to engage in small talk. They’re friendly and personable, but they understand that they have to keep the lines moving and can’t be hung up on small talk. They’re professional without being rude. You can tell that they’re dedicated to doing a good job.
The janitorial team and cleaning crew are the miracle workers here. By Walmart standards, this is definitely one of the more clean locations. I don’t think they get enough shout outs for the hard work they put in. It definitely shows.
The pharmacy will always keep me coming back. Are the lines long? Hell yeah. You have to go at the weirdest hours to not get stuck in a line. Do the lines interfere with the rest of the Walmart indoor traffic? Unfortunately yes. I don’t think there is anyway they could remedy the situation and make it better. I think that it just is what it is. I have received decent customer service in the pharmacy. Is it as good as say, CVS or Vons? No… but by Walmart standards, it’s pretty good.
Oh, and good luck finding parking. That parking lot will be the death of me.

One register… Before Christmas…
Wanting to spend $ 150 and have to stand in line?
Service manager said basically… Oh well that’s all we have!
They can do better… Close down to one register after the store closes not 10 min before on the Christmas weekend!
Update #1: They left the security device on my hard drive and asked me to go to customer service to get it off because the guy that opened a register was not a cashier. He wasn’t trained to take off the device.
I like Walmart but the customer service tonight was pathetic. What manager in their right mind would only have one register open on a Sunday night before Christmas?
I know Walmart is capable of better than this!
Latest update #2… Got home and the $ 120 backup hard drive had already been opened and the drive has a hum /​balance issue. Gotta take it back tomorrow. What a night!
There must be a camera somewhere watching me and someone is going to pop-​out and say… Practical Joke Video…
Please Walmart… don’t go the way of less than exceptional customer service… you are an American institution… Bump it up please! You can do this!

I’ve been here twice so far. Not as dirty/​messy as other Walmarts. Both times I’ve been in, there’s been no greeter. The employees on the floor didn’t say «hi» to me or even interact with me at all. I only drop in when I have to, which isn’t often. I’m not all that impressed yet not all that disappointed either.
