    After seeing this store while driving on the highway, hubby and I decided to go and check it out…read more Upon entering the store, we noticed there were two different types of shopping carts for customers to use which were orange or green as well as a dash cart option. Hubby asked employee for more details about the different shopping options and the employee told him customers could shop the "normal way they" pay via self checkout or with a cashier or do the "dash cart" option. Hubby was told that the "dash cart" option was for Amazon Prime members who had their account connected to their bank account. After hubby confirmed his Amazon Prime bank account information, he was given a special cart which allowed him to scan our I'm while shopping for a completely contact-free experience As we walked down the aisles at Amazon Fresh Murrieta, I noticed that some of my favorite items cost substantially more there than elsewhere (e.g Veganaise is $9.99 at store I usually shop but was $11.57 at Amazon Fresh.) Hubby loved scanning his items while shopping and hearing the "ding" sound to signal that the scan was a success. When arriving at the salad bar and hot bar, I was pleasantly surprised to see allergen listed above the hot and salad bar food, I was disappointed by the small amount of vegan friendly bar options which consisted of ingredients to make a salad, vegetable stir fry, an Asian inspired chopped salad, and dolmas. I will admit that there was a bit of a learning curve when using the dash cart for salad bar items but luckily, an employee was nearby to walk us through the process. During our shopping trip, we learned that whenever you plan to purchase an item from the "salad bar," you have to select "add food or code," type in "salad bar," place your box in the back of the cart to have it automatically weighed, then place the box of food in your cart. Though this technology is cool, there we're times when the cart gave an error that we didn't put the item in the cart but this was easily fixed by pressing a button confirming all items weee in the cart. The ambience in the store was pleasant with several employees stocking the shelves, clear digital signage in the aisles, and wide aisles to accommodate several shoppers. My main pet peeve at Amazon Fresh Murrieta was that the store grouped vegan frozen food mixed with non vegan food. I personally would prefer to have vegan frozen food separate but understand that this might not be possible due to freezer space constraints. As hubby prepared to pay for our groceries, he was extremely pleased when he walked through the dash lane and exit, was checked out contact free, and the cart presented him with the choice of if he wanted his store receipt emailed to him. Overall, we both liked the shopping experience because it was interactive and thorough but disliked having to confirm that items purchased were actually in the cart. Likewise, we and would like to see more clearer signage in the hot bar/salad regarding discounts since we were told by an employee that food from there areas were reduced in price during 6pm-7pm but didn't see a discount on our store receipt.

    Has anyone else experienced delayed shipments from Amazon as a Prime member? I'm in San Bernardino,…read moreand I've noticed a steady decline in delivery quality--packages arriving late at night, which feels like an open invitation for porch pirates. Despite paying $16 a month for Prime, the level of service seems to be getting worse. It's also extremely difficult to reach customer service in a timely manner. I've tracked some of my orders, and the routing makes little sense--packages leaving the San Bernardino hub, going to Los Angeles, then to Victorville, and eventually back to San Bernardino before delivery. That kind of inefficiency is frustrating, especially considering current fuel costs, which will likely lead to higher prices and even further declines in service. I hope someone at Amazon sees this feedback and takes action. At this point, it might actually be more cost-effective to cancel Prime and just pay for shipping when needed. Competitors like Walmart and Sam's Club are offering same-day delivery on many items, which makes the comparison even more noticeable. Amazon has been my go-to for over 10 years, but if delivery reliability and customer service don't improve, I will cancel my Prime membership--and it will no longer be my first choice.

    Dear Amazon, Do you…read morepurposely hire delivery people or contract delivery drivers who can't think critically? Do you purposely hire people who can't understand cause/effect relationships? Do you just hire dumb and dumber? Do you just hire people with a clean driving record who can pass a drug test on that day but can't string two logical thoughts together and understand cause/effect relationships? You delivered two packages to us today and it is raining and the wind is blowing. How difficult it to put the packages in the inside corner closest to the door where the wind blown rain will not soak them? Your delivery's have gotten worse, latter, and delayed. Your customer service has gotten worse over the past couple of years. I am a Prime Member and I am just pissed off enough today in order to write a complaint!!!!

    Walmart is like my mall. I grocery shop there and always end up finding home items that I both need…read moreand don't need. I'm so thankful to have a Walmart fairly close to my house, and it's always fully stocked. I enjoy seeing how Walmart welcomes every walk of life. They don't discriminate against age or race, and everyone shops comfortably there. They also have the best produce and a great variety of vitamins that I purchase every month.

    I remember when this Walmart first opened 20 years ago. I was so excited because it meant we…read morefinally didn't have to drive out of town to shop. Back then, the store was clean, well-stocked, and the employees were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. I've been to hundreds of Walmart stores across the country, and while every location has its strengths and weaknesses, this Beaumont store consistently falls short. One of the biggest problems is how unfriendly it is for elderly and disabled customers. There is no seating near the front of the store for people who need to rest, and shopping can be exhausting if you have mobility issues. The store only has two electric shopping carts for such a large location. The excuse that homeless people keep stealing them isn't acceptable. If that's truly the problem, Walmart should invest in a system that prevents the carts from leaving the property instead of leaving customers without the equipment they need. The store also seems to carry a more limited selection of products than many other Walmart locations. On top of that, the aisles are often messy and disorganized, making it harder to find what you're looking for. When you do need help, it's often difficult to find an employee, and the staff that are available rarely seem interested in assisting customers. Checking out is another frustrating experience. The lines are frequently long, and the self-checkout system often has trouble reading my debit card, turning what should be a quick trip into an unnecessarily frustrating one. It's disappointing to see how far this store has declined over the years. I remember when it was a place the community was proud of. I hope management starts paying attention to accessibility, customer service, organization, and the overall shopping experience because this location has the potential to be much better.

    Aliyah, Mia and Edith all assisted me. I was clueless on what to do to trade in my Xbox for the new…read moreone I purchased. All three ladies were patient, kind and spent time explaining this to me. I will say that the lady standing in the front of the store should take lessons from the manager/Supervsior who also stood in front of the store. He was welcoming and ready to greet me but she just stood there and looked at me without saying hello. I hen I asked her if she could direct me on how/where to get in line, she just pointed over to an area but seemed confused about it. Next time, I hope she asks for help so customers aren't waiting in the wrong line or waiting not knowing they needed to put their name on a list. All in all, most of the staff were very kind and ready to help. I always have great experiences at this location as they treat everyone the same and their current staff are all very professional.

    I am beyond disappointed with Best Buy and the way I was treated as a long-time customer…read more I recently purchased an item that turned out to be incompatible with my laptop. When I went to return it, I was told I was outside the 15-day return window and that there was absolutely nothing they could do. I was then informed that if I were an annual paying member, I would have had 60 days instead of 15 -- essentially being penalized for not paying a membership fee. I have spent thousands of dollars at Best Buy over the years and have never returned an item until now. That loyalty apparently means nothing. The store flat-out turned me away. When I called customer service hoping for a reasonable solution, the representative repeated "it's policy" and refused to help. When I asked to speak to a manager, I was told all managers were in a meeting at 4:50pm PST -- which felt like a convenient excuse to avoid escalation. I was then told there was nothing else she would do for me. No effort was made to retain a loyal customer, no exception was considered, and no empathy was shown. This experience made it very clear that Best Buy values membership fees over customer relationships. I will never shop at Best Buy again, and I will be sharing this experience with others so they know exactly what to expect.
