Walmart

I ended up walking out and driving to Visalia to make my purchase. Rude, inconsiderate, screaming and those were just the employees. I will gladly take my business to Target and pay a little more to be treated better.

They had three Hispanic minors between the ages of seven and thirteen soliciting for money in front of the store. There was no adult supervision and the children took rejection personally. When I declined to donate, the girl called me rude and resorted to profanity. When I contacted Walmart’s Customer Service how I was greeted, they stated they would take care of it. After I made my purchase, the children were inside by the exit. They continued to solicit for money, stating «[the donations] will go towards something.» Walmart did not do anything regarding these underage solicitors and their attitude towards people who do not want to donate. Instead Walmart encouraged and promoted the behavior by allowing them to continue soliciting inside.

Their shelves are always empty. Customer service is horrible. No one ever knows where anything is if you need help. I much prefer going to target.

The woman at the sporting goods section was very friendly and made my purchase of a fishing license joyful. As far as Walmarts go, this is a nice store in my opinion. No complaints.

Have plenty of stuff at a reasonable price. Always a wide variety range of items. Very mixed crowd of people in this paticular store. You see all walks of life in this store.

Worst. Walmart. Ever. That’s not to say Walmart was ever setting a high bar in the first place. I failed to find even one redeeming quality about this location beyond that it is a store and you can shop there. Otherwise, let me recount for you the latest incident experienced, which I’ll call the «lost wallet fiasco.»
My wife, her sister and I had already made the mistake of shopping here during the after-​Christmas rush. Products were strewn across the aisles, exhausted-​looking employees avoided our approach and the lines at both the registers and for returns were unfathomable.
When we had finished what we came for, my sister-​in-​law discovered that her wallet (more like a clutch) had gone missing. It contained many irreplaceable valuables. She quickly retraced her steps and to her great relief was informed by a passive clerk in the dressing rooms that it had been discovered and taken up to Customer Service. But Customer Service said a wallet had never been brought to them, so my sister-​in-​law returned to the dressing rooms, spoke with someone else and heard the same story. Back and forth she went, with each department giving different stories and not bothering to communicate with the other because they were «busy» with long lines. We spoke to the manager up front. We called the next day. The wallet that one employee swore was passed on to Customer Service had simply vanished into thin air in a few minutes time.
I fault the scuzzy Tularians who frequent this Walmart as much as the store. Only in a city this backwards would someone (possibly an employee) steal someone’s wallet which contained little cash but some obviously sentimental and un-​replaceable items and identification.

Sadly, the people who work here don’t want to be there, and it shows. I’ve experienced very rude employees here. I rarely find what I’m looking for. The store is always in disarray, and I’ve also found 2 different prices on the same item. Needless to say, we wont be back here.

I love WalMart but recently had a bad experience trying to make a return recently. I purchased a car battery at the Martinez location and was told we could return it within 90 days. We brought the unused, brand new battery back to the Tulare location since we ended up not needing it. And we were told that they won’t take battery returns after 30 days. The receipt says nothing about this and I was told at the front register that this is the store policy on most items. No exchanges, refunds, returns…
So I guess I have an extra battery now in case I ever need it. The dates are on the batteries that they are selling on the shelves, and many of the batteries had 2011 dates or dates from around the same time as mine (Feb 2012). So trying to get an explanation of why they wouldn’t take it back was impossible. We were told they can’t resell an old battery. But obviously that makes no sense.
Guess that’s what I get for making an auto purchase at WalMart. At least the price was right. $ 89.94 (MAXX-​65N)

This has to be THE worst Wal-​Mart I’ve ever been to.
Small selection of EVERYTHING, even trashier than normal clientele, unorganized.
I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed but all Wal-Mart’s are setup in VERY similar layouts. Well, NOT this one. It sucked searching all over the store to try and find the products I was looking for, and of course once I find the section I was looking for their selection was SOOO limited I turned around and left.
LAME.
