Walmart Neighborhood Market

What a garbage ghetto Wal-​Mart. Nothing like being asked from the car to the entrance a minimum of 4 times if I have a cigarette or if I want to buy or sell weed. Always problems with this Wal-​Mart especially the pharmacy. There in the pharmacy is a little troll like dude. He will ask why are you getting a prescription filled what the doctor said is wrong with you and other pretty invasive questions that he has no real business asking. He will also do whatever he can to take as long as possible. My other little favorite person is the financial/​customer service chick. She is condescending and also has a great way to make you feel like crap. Yesterday walked in and to the desk. My brother in law had sent my wife and I money as I grabbed the form to pick it up her reply was «Don’t bother the service is down and not sure when it will be back up.» Not a «Hi how are you?» Just this incredibly huge snotty attitude. I asked to speak with a manager she says I am manger. So I had to say how about a different manager other then you. She rolled her eyes and walked off. Finally a gentleman walks up and I explain the girls attitude and she replys «Well I told him already that the money service is down.» I finally had to say to her «Please go away you upset me.» This other manger was a little better and had her step away. He listened to what went on as my wife explained what had happened. I called the Wal-​Mart on Highland Dr. And they proceed to tell me that the Wal-​Mart that I was at was the store that they get all the complaints on and how horrible the staff is. That is so sad that another store is saying this about one of their own stores. But the absolute icing on the cake is the restroom. I really had to go so I was not expecting anything great since the experience I had already experienced. There I am in the restroom and it reminds me of a homeless camp since there are so many homeless folks in there but a stall opens up and I go in and first thing I see is a giant turd on the floor and crap smeared on the wall. Then there is a knock on the wall and the person next to me proceeds to state he is jerking off and asks if I wanted a handjob when he was done. So needless to say I used the restroom as quickly as possible and got out of there. I informed the nearest employee what had happened as well as the state of the restroom and his response was «Well that happens a lot here.» Are you kidding me but what can you expect from a ghetto Wal-​Mart like this I will never go back I would rather go 30 miles out of my way then ever go to this dump again. If you are looking to be accosted and sexually harrassed and be treated like garbage by all means go to this Wal-​Mart.

Worst customer service I’ve seen in my life .won’t be coming here ever!!!’ Everybody that works here are rude and don’t help !! Walmart gotta get some training classes for there employees. Or start hiring friendly/​fast cashiers. Won’t be coming back to this Walmart. Lady who seats in the back room in the customer service with glasses is the worst as well. Can’t help anybody and has a bad attitude towards people. Like she doesn’t want to be there. One last thing you can’t compare Von’s to Walmart self check outs. Von’s has 6 self checkouts and also like three four cashiers at the same time .on like Walmart your think they’re have more cashiers since that store is always busy. Guess Walmart doesn’t think much ! 12÷11÷15 ! Wish I could give this store a zero star!

It’s in a pretty ghetto location. Usually littered with homeless on the outside, low income residents, and the occasional junkies chugging robitussin in the parking lot. I once saw a very attractive young lady here lock her keys in the car… 12 different men surrounded her vehicle to try and open it for her. As if they broke into a car before…

It is always clean I don’t like the parking lot on the front of the main entrance I live like 12 blocks away from this Walmart is the cleanest Walmart I ever been too in my life but they just need to get better cashiers customers service the ones they have they suck and they are GETTHO 2 they need new cashiers friendly ones with education other then that’s is great having this Walmart in the neighborhood

My 100^th Review! Whoo-​Hoo!
Ok. This store is really more like 3.5 BUT I rounded up because this location is so much better than any other Neighborhood Market that I have ever gone to in CA, AZ or NV.
We ended up here after our jog at Seaport Village. I love Neighborhood Market’s yogurt parfait and wanted to stock up on some. This one was on the way home, not past where we live like the one in La Mesa.
The parking here is STUPID… I’ve never seen a parking lot for a grocery store that looked like this one. The spaces were few and sparse… and the spaces they did have were small and crammed… We ended up lucking out and found some parking on the street close to the store. I will also mention that the area is not the best… but it didn’t deter us from going inside to take a look.
We entered and lo and behold… this place was really big and organized… the items were well stocked (unlike the one in La mesa, they are HORRIBLE) They had a TON of my yogurt parfaits! I was in heaven because the one in La Mesa rarely has them. and if they do, they may have 1 or 2!!! They also had fresh Mexican sweet breads along with donuts and other pastries in a case, that you bagged yourself. They had rotisserie chicken, corn dogs, and other hot items. But the thing that I liked about this store was that the aisles were super wide and long.,.they had a much larger selection of everything. I also like how the aisles were divided… Just overall, this was a breath of fresh air compared to other Neighborhood Markets that I have been to. It seems like the Manager takes more pride in this store than the other ones.
I will definitely hit this way up on my way home from my jogs on the weekend. Sweet little store. so surprised!
PS: After reading through reviews, I see that many people had issues with self checkout. I saw an open checkout w/​clerk assistance. I was in and out. No issues. Then again, my very first time at this location. I will add that it was pretty darn early in the morning too.

This place smells… And there is only self checkout, which no one knows how to use. The self checkout clerk was not giving a damn about anything… I think she was mute. Think her name is Danielle. Homegirl, don’t wear blonde, thanks.

I didn’t know this place existed until not long ago. My brother needed to go here to get something and I went with him. The surroundings were a little shady and the place was packed. I expected the prices to be «Walmart» prices but for the most part, they weren’t really. They had some weird items I hadn’t seen other places and some good deals, but not as great as I would expect. The lines were extremely long and no one could keep up. Each line had what seemed like 10 people in it. They had a lot of workers there but not enough lanes to handle the amount of people there. I would not choose to go here again.

I seriously HATE this place. Like I would rather drive 20 miles to next Wal-​Mart than to stop by here.
1^st. The stupid self check outs. They are broken, have a huge line or flashing red. I have stood in a line for 45 min to buy a flipping emergency diaper for my son before. I could gone to wal Mart in Aero drive and back in half that time.
2^nd it’s very hood. I try not to park to far from main entrence because I get asked if I sell weed, for money or cigarettes. Ugh.
Come on Wal-​Mart clean it up. Hire more employees and open up more cashier. I mean Ur in the hood, why did u expect for everyone to know how to do a self check out.

I was kind of thinking this place might have some cheap deals being a walmart. But noooo. A lot of items were over priced comparatively. My visit was on a Saturday afternoon and parking was scarce. I found a spot on the side of the building at the end luckily. They have a large number of check outs but also a large number of shoppers. Not sure if I will be coming back.

I just got out of the hospital, and came to this Walmart because my doctor told me that they have $ 4 generic prescriptions. After spending hundreds of dollars on prescriptions this month because I have exhausted what my health insurance will cover, I was desperate… So Walmart it was.
I turned in my 3 prescriptions without an issue and was told everything would be ready in about 45 minutes. My husband and I aimlessly wandered the store while we waited for things to be done, and this place was an absolute crowded, loud, mad house. Homeless people with crazy strong odors everywhere, screaming kids with no parents, and the store was a mess… Whatever, it’s Walmart, it was gross. I don’t know why I was surprised.
An hour goes by and we are still wandering the store and my prescriptions aren’t ready. My phone rings, and it’s someone from the pharmacy. I tell them I’m literally on the phone, looking at them so I hang up and go have a face to face conversation with the pharmacy tech.
I go to the counter and am met with a dude named Angel. He clearly hates his job, and proceeds to take it out on me by essentially calling me a druggie. He states some shit about one of my medications not being available until three days later because they are out of stock, and then he tries to argue with me about whether or not I have any of my narcotic pain medicine left. He then states some poorly memorized speech about schedule 2 narcotics and tells me when I last picked up this medication from a different pharmacy. He was trying to infer that I was being shady by going to a different pharmacy (even though I was only at this shitty walmart for $ 4 generics), and even worse he straight up told me I was «over taking the medication», and that it’s his job to stop prescription drug abuse. He then attempts to review the way the doctor wrote the prescription and came up with some fucked up math model where I’m allowed to take no more than three pills per day, despite the prescription saying to take the medication every 3 hours, as needed for pain. I tried to tell him that I’m awake for longer than 9 hours a day, and that his math was flawed, but he just wasn’t having it. He made up his mind, I was a shady druggie, clearly trying to pull a fast one on him, and he was the gatekeeper of drugs, keeping the world safe by denying me medication that I needed. At this point, I legitimately asked him if he was having a bad day or something because I couldn’t understand how or why he was being so hostile and he just kept saying miss this, miss that. I wanted to reach across the counter and slap him for continually calling me miss, and once I realized I was getting nowhere with him, I asked for my prescriptions back so that I could take them to another pharmacy, and then asked if I could speak to his supervisor. The supervisor came over to talk to me and she barely spoke English. I tried to tell her what happened but it was fairly obvious that my message wasn’t getting across. She kind of did that whole «mhum», with a head nod and didn’t actually say a word to me. I gave up trying to deal with these people.
So here I am, fresh out of the hospital, after having major emergency surgery, in excruciating pain, dealing with fucking idiots in the pharmacy when I SHOULD be at home resting, and I am unable to get the medications I needed due to some pharmacy asshole trying to make an example out of me. After this whole ordeal I said fuck it, and took the prescription to my normal pharmacy and paid over $ 200 for what I needed. My health, time, and emotional well-​being are worth so much more than money, or trying to get $ 4 generics… Fuck this Walmart and double fuck you Angel that works in the pharmacy, you suck so much ass, and I can only hope that one day you are in a situation like mine, and are confronted with someone that has as shitty of an attitude as you do.

Convenience is the only attraction to shop here. Ratings tell the story.
It’s a small Walmart, and as such it’s designated a «Neighborhood Market». Produce selection is acceptable & decent, but quality is average at best to below average. Prices are great.
Pharmacy on site makes this worthwhile.

All checkouts closed, everyone (about 30 people) was routed through self-​checkout. There were no bags available so I had to steal some from another register, and then the automatic checkout said there was an item in the bagging area. A passing employee said «just a *minute* sir» without looking at me. I left my items and walked out.
Enter at your own risk.

I love this Wal Mart. It’s always clean (on the inside because you might run into a few usual downtown Characters on the outside) and they always have the newest foods. Their cuts of meat are excellent so shout out to the butcher! The parking is pretty tricky but still accessible. Good job on this one Wal-​Mart!

Love this walmart! It has what I need but they should really look into hiring better staff I had a issue with a cashier by the name of GWEN who was really rude and non proffesional!

Recently I just moved into the area, and this is probably one of the cleanest Walmart’s around. The workers helpful to an extant, prices of course are great, and the only thing this location doesn’t have is any home or bathroom items. Of course it’s not a super center, but for then most part it has all the items or groceries you’ll need.
Now the only things that makes me want to give this place one star or no stars, is the checkout! All they have is self checkout, and maybe you might catch one register open with a cashier. Besides that you’re going to be waiting in line for a while, since you can’t rush the person in front of you as they try to figure out how to even use self checkout to begin with.

Eeeeeh. So so walmart in the hood. There is ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS people in the front or parking lot asking for money. There’s a redbox inside so that’s a plus. It’s a «neighborhood» location so it’s really small, but yet it still manages to have the most common used items (medicine, makeup, pet food, etc). It’s a good store to hit up when needed, but if you can wait just go to a regular walmart. The parking lot gets crazy chaotic as well.

My experience here has always been awful. Customer service is horrendous. They rather talk to each then actually do their job. They are rude and cashiers are incompetent.

This store has its good and bad attributes. First off, it’s Walmart… The prices are always going to be impressive (just see anything with the great value brand name). Due to cheap prices I come here for my fruits and veggies all the time.
The downside is that if you want longevity from your perishable items, then this is not the place to go. Typically, their perishables need to be eaten within a couple days because they are already ripe when placed in the store.
Everything is pretty easy to find, and the store is clean, but the neighborhood market is just not as efficient as a full-​sized Walmart. They do have a non-​food side of the store but it’s extremely limited (half of their office items are out of date).
The check out machines are faulty on a regular basis so I use the regular checkout. Unfortunately, if you go any other time than 7am the lines get quite lengthy because they usually only have one or two checkers, so it can take awhile to get through their lines.
They do have a redbox and that’s always a plus.

Since this store is close to my new «hood,» I decided to check it out. It looks like mostly food and toiletries, which doesn’t interest me. Plus, I waited in line at customer service for 15 minutes (while the cashiers «socialized») to ask a question about getting the difference back on the vacuum cleaner that I bought which is now on clearance.
Obviously, the woman doesn’t know how to do her job, because she told me to call dot com. I told her, «never mind,» I’ll go to a regular Walmart Store where they know how to do their job.
Update: I went to the Walmart store on Dennery Road, and since I didn’t have my store receipt, only the receipt that I printed out from my account, they knew exactly what I was thinking, took me to customer service, and they gave me a refund of $ 25.92. That brought the price of my new Hoover vacuum down to $ 38.64.
I sure won’t be shopping at the Imperial Avenue Neighborhood Market, though.

Bad experience with the not friendly and slow cashiers. I waited for 20 minutes to get the price of a lily plant it was supposed to be on sale according to the sign to get the ‘actually, only the candy was on sale’. Sorry, but this is misleading the customers. Besides, I got disappointed that I paid around $ 7 for this plant, when later on I went to Vons to buy something else and the same plant but prettier and with better presentation was on sale for 2.99.
The store seems very new and clean, it was my first time and those are the things I noticed first. Most of the products I needed, I find them, but was utterly disappointed as well when I found all the cosmetics section is behind a glass cabinet with lock. What is that? I don’t know if this is a new tendency in Walmart, as I haven’t been in any for a while, but at least in the Poway, my usual one, that was never the case. I find that a horrible business practice and for sure I don’t want to buy any nail polish that I cannot even touch or I need assistance to get. Also they are giving the image that the population there is more prone to ‘borrow’ without paying? I don’t get it and did not like it. I should have left without the plant, but I also got some Nescafes and those were good price. Other than that, I probably won’t come back to this store;.
