They are often very rude and unhelpful if I have to go through self-checkout. I am thankful for the times they are courteous and helpful. I am older, and sometimes when it is later I am hungry, and tired, and I don't think I, or anyone, should have to do checkout. I have started to go to Walmart more as they nearly always have checkout staffed with helpful and courteous people but there is only one store and it is not convenient for me.

You pay a membership fee, and the workers there are part of the ownership. Immediately, you are hit with warmth and just that coziness you want in a local grocery store. Whole Foods ambiance but not corporate. There is a deli and a hot/cold foods bar. Produce and plenty of plant-based options to choose from. We definitely enjoyed the experience .

Here I am. 7 years later, writing another review about Wal Mart. Big box store. I feel like it…read moreshould just "be" and that should be that, but there is genuinely a lot of good to say. I am an online shopper, and I do curbside pickup. I'm also currently a Walmart+ member. Walking around a store that large is just too much for me these days. I'll start off with the only two negative points, and they aren't enough for me to knock off a star. 1 - If you use the delivery option for groceries, you'll be expected to tip because a third party usually delivers those. For other simple things, if you are a Walmart+ member, you can get same day or next day delivery of some things, which is awesome. 2 - Out of stocks. Walmart is the boss when it comes to store brand. Kroger brand is usually trash, and if it's not trash, it's still second to Wal Mart brand. I have come to really enjoy their breakfast sandwiches. Unfortunately, everyone else has also, so when I order they are usually out of stock. OK. Now on to the rest! Again, this is basing it as an online shopper. The online shopping is pretty good, especially as a Walmart+ customer. I can usually get same day pickup if I order early. The system isn't always accurate on what's in stock, but it's pretty good. If you keep your phone handy, you can accept or reject substitutions. I recommend you keep an eye out, because they often cost more, and sometimes the option they choose is too different. The folks who work this are always SO friendly. It is so nice when I get to interact with them! They offer a bag free option for curbside!!! This is a HUGE deal. When I ordered from Kroger, I couldn't even get them to use paper bags. With Wal Mart, I can bring shopping bags or boxes and just have everything put in there. Less plastic, less pollution! I love that they do that!! Returns and refunds are SO easy. If you pickup your groceries and something is damaged or about to expire, you just let them know in the app. If an item is damaged or something you don't need, you can start the return process and also do that curbside. I got a cereal storage container that was absolute garbage. I started a return, and the person who handled it was so friendly! With a store this large, ordering online and picking up is such a help. If you do try the Walmart+, there is a nice benefit of choosing between Peacock and Paramount, but don't expect it to replace Amazon. I have looked for a number of oddball items on the Walmart website only to give up and order it from Amazon. If you are conveniently located, give their online ordering a try. If you go online and order side by side with Kroger, you'll probably notice the savings add up quickly. The last time I did, it didn't take me long to have a $10 difference. Inside experiences are surely different, but the online system is tops!

If there was zero, I'd have picked that…read more I went to their auto service center. They're total bunglers. Tried to do a serious upsell on simple tire mounting. Then they struggled to deliver a quote on a diesel oil change. Still worse, I was told I was next in line and the current customer was doing a simple tire rotation. Nearly an hour and a half later, it still wasn't in a bay, even though all but one were empty. Adding to the madness was that they wanted to charge me sales tax on what was a strictly labor endeavor. This is pretty dubious, IMHO. I wandered the store, looking at prices that had risen mightily, chocked full of IU pomp that is meaningless to most who shop at that location. So, high prices, incorrect prices, inability to do simple quotes, dubious charges, upsell, incorrectly estimating labor loads and therefore wasting my time all add up to: Don't go here.
