Walmart

I work nearby, but seldom went to this Walmart. It was the only store I have ever been to where I felt I could get mugged inside the store and no one would notice… not good. I always got in and out as fast as I could. One bright spot was their optical dept which was great.

I wonder why Walmart would close one of their busiest stores. Now crime will go elsewhere into the community. When Walmart is doing good for the community, they close.

Sad they closed, people say it was «Rachet» but I’ve been going here since I was very young I will definitely miss it, also went the last day it was open and it was sad to see the look on the faces of many employees…

When an area gets so bad that even the local Walmart closes its doors for business, it’s time to call a realtor and a moving truck.

What do you expect… the employees are rude the customers are rude the nicest person i talked to the whole store was the security girl that checks receipts. Im glad this store is closing i drive all the way to livermore most the time to go shopping at walmart not as many people employees are friendly… Good bye OAKLAND WALMART… BTW shopping there yesterday was a mistake… i really hate this store

CLOSED AS OF JAN 17!
This has to be longer to show up, but this store is CLOSED!
Doors shut, nobody home, lights out nothing to buy.
No walls, no marts.
CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED
Long enough for you now, Unilocal

Closing as of Jan 17^th.
How can a store that was always packed be closing?
Was it for lack of business?
I guess the high employee turnover, poor employee job skills and high crime rate in the area had NOTHING to do with it.
When Obama was last in town and visited the Mountain View Wal Mart, maybe he should have checked this one out instead.

I’m sorry this Walmart is closing because 400 people are out of jobs. However,
good riddance. The place is a menace. I hope the whole chain goes down.

I just found out on the news and trending on Facebook that this Walmart is one of the stores closing soon. I don’t shop there often, so their closing does not have an impact as to where I shop for groceries and other miscellaneous items.

This store is closing for good, along with other California locations:

I refuse to give a star, only because it deemed necessary by Unilocal-​There should be a way to give a «no star» rating for «absolutely dismal» !!! I’m so sickened I have to give it one star!
This Walmart should be changed to «HELLMART». Each time i go there, it’s a dysfunctional ass adventure. Everything to the automotive service department to the check out is «like literally trying to escape from hell» that’s why I deem this Walmart: «HELLMART»!! I’ve complained so many times corporate wise, and it’s just no use. Unfortunately, with four kids in college, Walmart Oil Changes are usually a good deal, as well as tires. I’ve made up my mind to NEVER use this wretched place unless there is absolutely no other alternative. In East Oakland, there are VERY FEW. Stay away from this place the 1^st and 15^th of the month as well… YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!!!

No it’s not the best Walmart in the world but I must say I am Happy to have a Walmart in the neighborhood.

I was parking today 12÷21÷25 around noon time at Walmart in Hegenberger I witness two guys breaking into a late model Chevrolet. It was very quick. I tried calling 911 but that didn’t work… Now you need to dial 10 digits to call police. I wrote down the license plate # and gave it to the security guard that patrols the parking in his vehicle. He didn’t seem very concern. He wrote down the plate # and continued in his rounds.

This was my first time visiting this store in a very long time and I see why. If I could give negative stars I would (–5). First, the parking lot is filthy, filled with garbage and shopping carts. This store has the worse CUSTOMER SERVICE I have EVER experienced!!! The employees are rude, no hello, thank you, POOR attitudes and the managers are NO better! The lines are ridiculous long and the employees could careless, more worried about the gossip of the day, and not the customers. If this store was in any OTHER neighborhood, it would NOT be like this, BET!!! The customers would not accept the POOR customer service, rude and disrespectful employees, so why in East Oakland??? I will NEVER shop at this store, NEVER!

If you hate America and no longer want a job that pays the rent then give your money to this corporation and The Communist Party of China (CPC).

Wow. What horrible customer service. I ordered an item through
, and it has been a nightmare communicating with anyone at this store. I still don’t have it, and every time I call, the person can’t (or flat our refuses to) help.
Stick with Amazon or Target.

Gentrification-​proof! No annoying metro-​techie-​hipster-​transplants anywhere to be seen. This is the original Oakland I grew up in, forever frozen in time for you to experience today: Walmart off of Hegenberger.
2 stars (but I’m pretty sure I’ll be back):
* THE STUFF IS CHEAP
A big old store with EVERYTHING at competitive and very competitive prices. It’s Walmart.
* THE OAKLAND FILTRATION SYSTEM IN FULL EFFECT
It’s places like this Walmart that filter out the snobbery that are too good for all these poor folks and who loathe the day they will ever have to step foot in this Walmart, let alone Oakland, again. Yes, Oakland is gentrifying, but I’m happy that such snobs will probably never become my new neighbors and so I consider this a net positive.
— IT’S WALMART, SO IT’S BAD
Walmart sells stuff cheap because they excel at practicing and encouraging exploitation. However, I’m not above shopping at Walmart because I’m no saint either — the iPhone I’m using to write this review was assembled at a factory that has installed suicide nets. So I’ll accept a blight on my soul as well.
— LONG LINES
Totally true. If you’ve got more than the express lane will allow expect to wait in line for AT LEAST 10 minutes before it’s your turn. I don’t find it any more disorganized than other Walmart’s I’ve been to.
— A FEW CHALLENGING PERSONALITIES
Most employees I’ve interacted with at this Walmart were a bit stressed, but otherwise were totally decent. On the rare occasion when a worker’s attitude was so sour to the point of being ridiculous, I’m sorry but I found it sort of entertaining.
Example: I needed to return lotion for my wife. The customer service lady was in an amazingly bad mood: I could see it in how she walked around in an angry fog. «What’s wrong with it?» she asked not looking at me. «It doesn’t smell good,» I replied with the first irritating response I could think of. She looked up at me, more annoyed. «It doesn’t smell good?» «Nope.» She typed my answer into her computer, refunded the money, and then walked away saying to somebody in the back, «He said it doesn’t smell good.»

Bought a tire here! Poor customer service. The mechanic doesn’t know the oil type of the regular car. lol! They are unorganized and inventory is all messed up! Lol. And I also saw 4 different theft incident while I was waiting for my car to be done! I was waiting for 3 hours just to change my four tire. The security sucks! They’re on the phone /​chewing gum. Behind the cashier and just talking to the employees! Don’t feel safe here! The mechanic just keep walking around the store /​talking to people/​flirting with the customers instead of doing his job back in the pit! The waiting areas smells like shit!
Never going back here again!

NEVER, I repeat NEVER order online and have it delivered and pick up the order here.
This is one of the worst experiences EVER!!! Not only did it take forever to get to the counter nor was there any automated system to get checked in since the system was broken. The guy picking the orders from the back came out with orders one at a time with like 15 – 20 minutes in between picks. I’m not sure what goes on back there in their seemingly gigantic storage warehouse but it would seem to make sense to have the online orders queued and stored in a way that would make it quick and easy to fulfill orders to minimize wait times. Instead, the poor worker had to go back and forth searching through everywhere including the delivery trucks in search of products. This is NOT how it should be done. This need to be fixed stat!
I’ll never ever come back here to pick up an order again. Thanks for wasting over an hour of my life just to pick up a lamp. It would’ve been faster for me to just walk down the aisle and get what I needed… which is actually what I should’ve done.
On a positive note, though, the guy helping us at the counter was polite and trying his best to help the long queue of people despite not knowing all the systems since he was new.

I CAN NOT stress enough how much I loathed this Walmart. I’ve stopped in at this location 3 times total, never to be back again due to my experiences and stories I’ve heard.
I’m not one to complain about places, I’m an in and out kind of person — if they have what I need that’s good enough unless someone has really gone out of there way to make my experience horrible… but every aspect of this Walmart just sucks to no end.
–The parking lot has consistent break-​ins, nobody does anything about it and don’t depend on the OPD to help you out either, you’ll just have to file a report and say goodbye to whatever it was taken forever. just don’t bring anything in your car if you have to stop by this location.
–Don’t come here for money order needs, to cash your paycheck, or stamps, and make sure anything you buy here you will not be back to return. the customer service area is ALWAYS going to take you at least a half hour to be helped. even if it looks like there’s only a couple people ahead of you. There’s NO sense of urgency PERIOD from any of the clerks here.
I waited an hour and a half in a line with only 4 – 5 people ahead of me, with 3 – 4 clerks at the desk, finally got up to be helped and they had no stamps…
like can you put a sign up? and definitely don’t seem completely happy and switch from no smile to a full on glowing smile when you find out that’s what someone waited an hour and a half for as you say «OHH! Stamps? We don’t have stamps: D «. then to find out that the clerk helping me had been a supervisor? Seriously…
–The register lines are equally as slow.
The best advice I have… just don’t go here.
