Walmart

On 02÷12÷16 My sister and her husband arrived at Walmart expecting to have their vehicle serviced Instead one of the employees that was servicing the vehicle noticed an open container which was an energy drink and decided they would call the police claiming that they where drinking and driving. How is this beneficial to them as a customer? this is service? is the staff at this Walmart racist? I can handle any of these scenarios and so can my sister, But be open about it if you don’t want us as your customers state this and we will happily support our local businesses instead!

Crowded. It was just really crowded. We came in to check out the store and I was overwhelmed by the amount of people shopping. It seemed like a usual Walmart with their items and layout. Items were out of place, a bit messy. I couldn’t tell if they didn’t have enough employees to clean or they’re just lazy. We eventually found our couple of items. Checking out, the checker was rude. I have low expectations walking into a Walmart but this one is pretty bad.

This is the place where the idiots and empty-​eyed simpletons come to suck the life out of your day. All Walmart stores are like this, but this one in particular just makes you realize whom you share a county with… It gives me nightmares.

Low on staff help. Low on inventory.

Beware of the Auto Center!
My 69-​year old mother-​in-​law took in her Toyota for an oil change. The service person told her that she needed new front tires and that they would not release her car to her until she signed a waiver because the tires were supposedly so worn out. This really freaked her out and she spent the next few days running around getting other opinions.
She took her car to a local auto repair shop and they told her there was nothing wrong with her front tires but recommended that she get an alignment. Then this weekend she came to visit us and I inspected and measured her front tire tread depth (I happen to have a tire depth tread indicator). Both her front tires were fine and had plenty of tread, about ⁵⁄₃₂. The min tread depth is ²⁄₃₂. So in other words, she had more than twice the required tread depth. In addition, her tires were wearing evenly. So essentially, she did not need the alignment that the second shop talked her into getting.
So, buyer beware.

This Wal-​Mart had a VERY low supply of beer. I know, why am I there for just beer? I wasn’t, I think I needed shampoo, or something, but also on the list was beer. It wasn’t that they had a low variety or selection of beer, literally, when I went there were 2 available cases of beer?! What the hell? How does that happen?
So, I switch it up. Ok, hmmm… I’m going to get the premade peach margarita. (Not unusual, it’s an item I’ve found in my hometown Walmart) Nope. No such thing here, they didn’t even know what I was talking about.

Oh Good Gawd Almighty on a Cheese Sandwhich Sabbath. THIS Walmart is a hot mess crying out for attention. Or perhaps penicillin. So let’s get those shots and join a carnival of fun here at your local Sonora Walmart; courtesy of your hosts: Unilocal,Nilla and All The Marvelous Mobile Home Parks within Dodge Mini-​Van and Refund Anticipation Loan range. (So roughly one long siphon @ 30 miles or four lawn mower shorties range.)
THE SHORT BUS REVIEW:
if
doesn’t trace roots to this location, it is at minimum The UncleDaddy.
We’re talking if Jesco White starts bustin a move and huffs camp fuel in sporting goods, be not dismayed. Another number soon will follow and you can be front row smug for his next show over by the pool chem.
If Lets Make a Deal played here, we’d find someone with a name on the OxyContin bottle that don’t match the owner of that purse its in.
THE LONG BUS REVIEW:
What a flippen dump. How could this happen to a company so known for cleanliness and architectural integrity?
They killed Smiley Dude. That’s how this happneed into being. Drove that solid Into a life in exile; banished and forgotten. A Made Man in the USA who’s precipitous decline came about when dude got quietly axed and in his grief got caught up in a methlab trailer explosion out in suburban Apache Junction. Or so is said. Poor lil fella never got over the betrayal and slowly turned upside down; each tick ¹⁄₁₂^th closer to that unfortunate Airstream of Unclean Women and Bic Lighters. He probably was just trynta be nice in taking off the childproofs… so sudden the explosion was.
Flashfire forward to today and The Legacy of Smiley Dude Sonora:
All I wanted were some wet ones. (To offer to folks in line at the recycle center whilst returning my Pellegrino empties. Post binge; natch. They promote both friendship and hygiene within a convenient travel pouch)
All I found was a store that smelled like it was marinated in the kush and low-​order birth.
Location is a DIRTY presentation of a throwback old school small box mart. Back then, Sam drove that Truck of Undetermined Age between them all. The Salad Days. The Days Before the Big Box Troubles. Before dear Smiley would see his tragic encounter of fate. Which brings us back to present once again in finding a reason for the one star:
This place is the best freakin white trash show since Courtney Stodden on a Trampoline: THE CUSTOMERS. OMG The. Customers.
Inside: Dining dating and courtship.
Outside: Teen pregnancy, Cameros and 20.00 sacks.
One cannot recap the sheer volume of white trash within this place. It would have to be measured by WTCU; white trash cubic yard. It’s just not possibe this funhouse mirror. Seriously, It’s like quantum gravitational mechanics meets entanglement theory @ string theory and mathematically so resolves all without forcing Hawking radiation to a clearance bin. All for entering the portal of ‘Enter’ (Flagged with public notice of substantial proportion to warn patrons not to drink by the door. Personal vehicle.ok. Doors? Meh, not so much.)
They. Were. Everywhere. As if the doors were sealed 25 years ago; trapping all and only now reopening. These are Those Childrens Raised Behind The Wal of Mart; Sonara, Where Town&Country is the new Trabant.
Loud talking employees loudly yapping about loud customers loudly behaviours of loud. Even adding the words ‘tacky’ and ‘no shame’ will not dilute what is simply, Irony. Defined.
Seriously folks, this place is either the greatest preserved habitant of the American Single Wide Sally or a wholesale foul dennys of redneck iniquity; you choose. Either way one still gets a most capital Who Cares Where You Gonna Go service, a bathroom that is either constructed to resemblancthe the classic Arkansas Outhouse c1977 or actually IS an Arkansas Outhouse c1977. Smells like two West African Black Bulls rent stalls in Sonora sourced Airbnb. On a Etch-​A-​Sketch App. And it’s only Thursday
This Wal-​Mart is so daggum bad that Its almost likeable in a way. Like Hee Haw, The Musical (original broadway cast) Soon a local production of Teen Grandmom, The Musical, may arrive and announced on sticky notes by the ‘no door drinking’sign at Walmart, Sonora; U.S. of GotSpam A.
Giving one star for the floor show and all the bangin hot good ‘ol boys wandering about like cloned Earl Dibbles Juniors Jr; all sexy mouth breathing on Mossy Oak at isle 14.
Personal note for hillbillys there on Thursday: Get at me if ya need time away from those shrill shrieking sirens of sedentary sisterhood. I’m down with DL. Yeah. YOU in the lifted 78 Stepside wit 38’s. Dawg u a Tasty Biscuit. Let’s run away to a Glamis triplewide @the Metal Mulishanbase. She can’t make you happy. But I can. Very happy… I get you my feral felon. Call me.

This Walmart in Sonora is a lot cleaner, less people to, very stocked, organized, friendly employees..

Ok since I really don’t shop at Wal-​Mart that often this review is strictly for their Pharmacy. I recently had a prescription sent into their Pharmacy with confirmation number. I called next day and was told it never came in and wasn’t in the system. I called my doctor who spoke to pharmacist and waited on phone til he visually confirmed receipt of fax. I then called Wal-​Mart I’d asked how long to fill. Was told one hour, ok no problem. I arrived 2 hours later and was told it wasn’t ready yet. I waited for 2 more hours at home and called and asked if it was ready. They told me it will be ready when I got there. After getting there it was another half hour til I finally got my prescription. Both of them, the first one that was sent AND the second one. I checked the dates. The first one was filled the day before and the second one that day. They were prepared to give me both. By the way these were pain pills as I had just had surgery. Wow!

Its Walmart. There is only one in town and they do have lots of stuff. Probably the friendliest and safest Walmart you will ever find.

lol…
A lot of missing items. I went in here to buy a camera, a simple 100 dollar camera for work. All 5 models were sold out?

not a super walmart. fine for getting some stuff while we were hiking yosemite. empty shelves. dirty. basically like most walmarts. a necessary convenience.

Only three stars cuz my experience in the auto center was ridiculous. I only go here for shampoo and hair products now. I got my tires from here online and had a huge issue with the online ordering. I should have just taken that as a sign but the tires were cheap and they install for cheap. then when I went to get them installed the auto clerk told me to go to the layaway section and no one was there. I waited
for about half a freaking hour just to talk to someone to pick the tires up. then I had to wait for another hour and a half because they had stock taking up one of their lifts. they were all quite rude too. its like watching chickens with their heads cut off because they are always understaffed. Another time my boyfriend went to see if they could change his oil for a BMW and we watched one of the mechanics yell at the guy like he was an idiot that they don’t do foreign and coughed something rude as we walked away. do NOT spend your money in the auto section its a huge waste of time. support your local businesses! even of its cheaper its not worth your time

Sorry to say, but around here, this Walmart is fun leisure land. This store has better atmosphere than the one in San Jose.

I went into Walmart today with a list of 15 items, but could only find three of them because the shelves are mostly empty. When I mentioned this to the woman who checked me out she just shrugged her shoulders. When I said I guess I will have to make time and go to Target in Riverbank more often, she said «Sounds like a good idea» — so even the checkers agree that we should skip this store!

Cashier wasnt so friendly. Looked at me like she never seen an asian before lol. This walmart was out of a lot of stuff. Shelves were empty like products didnt come in or something. The store was pretty messy and things were all over the place. Would only return if I needed something from here.

Bad company. rude employee’s =/

So like everyone else growing up in Sonora, I thought WalMart was the place to be. This was prior to the building of lots of the stores and restaurants they have now and LONG before the gigantic movie theater which is now across the parking lot from WalMart. It’s so funny how things can change in such a short time. I still enjoy wandering around the garden center even when I don’t need anything. Who’s buying all those plants? Who has time to care for plants?
Although I do prefer the concept of patronizing small businesses over large establishments like WalMart, it’s still the place I go for many essentials. I get my mascara, face wash, car accessories, antifreeze and other stuff like this there. Let’s face it, they have the lowest prices for us consumers because they are buying it in such large quantities. This is even true in their pharmacy.
This WalMart has fluctuated in its level of cleanliness and how well stocked it is. Currently it’s looking pretty good but maybe that’s just because the economy is bad and they aren’t selling anything so everything stays on the shelf making them look well stocked. Regardless of the reason, their employees are doing the best they can do and everything’s looking good.

Wal Mart is one of those stores like Starbucks that everyone seems to have strong opinions and at the same time is popular among locals and tourist.
I have always used 1 hour photo, the Sonora store has great electronic department, I like the departments of hardware, garden and I filled my last prescription at Wal Mart Pharmacy and was shocked when my bill was $ 4.00.
I also find that its convenient 7 day’s per week of having the knowledge that my car can be serviced and especially on Sunday’s.
I know of many people who are local and are employed by Wal Mart and overall have found the employee’s to be friendly and offering good service.
Like many people, I also shop at a variety of merchants.
It is my understanding that the local store may expand to more food items in the next year.
