Walmart has completed what they call "The New Walmart," and honestly, the experience feels worse…read morethan ever. I didn't stop shopping at Walmart because of one bad trip, I stopped because the experience slowly became worse every single time I went. I've shopped at Walmart for years, so this review comes from long experience, and a noticeable decline over time. During the remodel they added thousands of new products, packed in more shelving, and narrowed the aisles to the point where two shopping carts can barely pass. Finding anything has become a frustrating scavenger hunt. Yes, they have an app -- but it's slow, inconsistent, and not much help when you're already standing in a crowded aisle. Product selection has also gotten worse. Items that used to come in small, medium, and large now often skip the medium size entirely. If that's what you need, you're simply out of luck. Quality control has also slipped badly. I regularly see bread on shelves past the pull date, loaves with partially open wrappers that are already dried out, and yogurt singles stuffed into cartons where only the outside package shows a date -- leaving you guessing how old the product inside actually is. The meat department has become especially disappointing. Cuts are loaded with gristle and fat, and the quality is far below what I expect from a major grocery retailer. The bakery is overloaded with products -- so much inventory that it's hard to believe everything can possibly stay fresh long enough to sell. Produce is another problem. Fruits and vegetables are often limp, bruised, or slimy. Carrots bend easily instead of snapping fresh. Bananas are frequently overripe. Grapes and berries often contain spoiled pieces that ruin the entire package. The final straw came this weekend. After spending more than two hours shopping with two full carts, we ended up with a very inexperienced cashier who stacked heavy canned goods on top of soft fruit and mixed raw meats with produce. Then everything was packed into thin paper bags that tear if they hold more than a few pounds. By the time we got home, several bags ripped open while unloading, scattering groceries everywhere -- including a broken jar of jelly. Delivery has been just as frustrating. Orders arrive on time -- but at the wrong house. Customer service told us to check with neighbors and retrieve the delivery ourselves. One time that meant hauling multiple heavy cases of water back home. The response we got was simply to remove the tip and end the call. Unfortunately, this has happened more than once. At this point, we've already stopped buying meat at Walmart, and we're close to ending our regular grocery shopping there altogether. The "New Walmart" may be their vision of improvement, but for us it has meant lower quality, more frustration, and a much worse shopping experience. What's disappointing is that none of these issues alone would have driven us away. It's the steady accumulation of small frustrations -- declining quality, harder shopping conditions, and weaker customer service -- that finally changed our habits. We didn't set out to stop shopping at Walmart; we simply realized one day that the experience no longer felt worth it.

This seems like a nice Walmart and has a really nice parking lot. I'm a Target girl but there's no…read moreTarget in this town, nor anywhere near. This store is gonna be my go-to all-in-one place. We moved to Ridgecrest 5 days ago and have been to Walmart 3-4 times already because they have so many of the items we need for ourselves or our pets. Walmart's shelves are never as "zoned" as I'd like them to be but with how many items they sell, maybe that's asking for the impossible. Our favorite cashier is Candy (blue specs and lovely attitude). She has made us feel welcomed each time. I think this may be the nicest Walmart I have ever experienced.

So it was my first and only time going to this pharmacy. I had to go in and quickly get a list of…read moremeds when it first opened. I was avoiding taking my sick children out but it prevented my husband from going to work. So it needed to be done quickly. I understood that wasn't there problem and I was as kind as I could be. They didn't have one of the meds so they had to transfer the prescription to Walmart. Which I understood. One of the prescriptions was a steroid for my son. I wanted to get exact directions to make sure I did it right. My son is only 2 and I've never given him that before. And this older woman named Hannah behind the desk was extremely annoyed and so mean and rude when I was trying to ask for directions. Any time I asked her a question to make sure I was informed correctly on everything she snapped at me and acted like I was bothering her. So I thought maybe she's not the specific pharmacist maybe that's someone else. So I asked her if she was the pharmacist she pointed to her badge that said pharmacy manager and said "Last time I checked I was. Why you asking me that?!" Acting like I somehow intended to insult her when she had made clear she was looking to pick a fight with me. I didn't want to engage anymore so I just politely took the medications and went over to Walmart pharmacy where they were much more accommodating at the Walmart pharmacy and they were actually kind! It's really not cool for people who work in pharmacy's to treat people so poorly. It's not like she was working behind the counter at McDonalds and I was complaining cause she got my order wrong. People need their medicines and I had a major scare with my son just the night before to where something terrible could have happened had he not gotten the right medicines. Please hire people who will actually treat people with respect. They are not working with trivial things like food or clothes. They are working with peoples medicines that could either keep them alive or not. It needs to be taken more seriously and treated with care.

I'm weak from days of fasting and a surgery I had undergone about 20 hours previous. Neighbor asks me to get his O2 bottle exchanged while I'm out and he called these folks to insure it was OK. I didn't feel up to it, but agreed since he couldn't drive and the lady on the phone said it was no problem. I heard the lady say, "Just bring it in and give his name and we'll swap it for you." I went in with the tank, explained I was exchanging for (friend's name) and the lady asked "Birth Date?" "I have no idea, the lady on the phone had simply said give his name and they would swap, that was 20 minutes before." I am dizzy and weak and made some exclamations "I have no time for this BS" as I called my neighbor. As I got hold of him an overtly aggressive shortish man came out and started telling me I was 'breaking the law', I gave the phone to him and he yelled at my neighbor for several minutes. This is scaring the hell out of me. I'm very weak and about the faint, I lean on the counter and shortly I realize I'm on my knees. The 'tough guy' begins telling me to get up, get out and stop acting (believe me, it was no act) finally asked them to call an ambulance. I had began deep breathing, shut him out, closed my eyes and after a while was able to stand. Soon a new lady with brown hair came out, brought me the canister and I left. I was grateful she had called him off. After my appointment I dropped by the Police department and made sure they were aware of the rampant hostility expressed. I'm no expert, but I've been around steroid abusers enough to be wary of this place. We're getting our friend his own compressor now to keep from having to deal with this anymore. Probably a nice place if it didn't have a hot head bouncer with no ability to converse. He does a nice "POPEYE" muscle flex and he admittedly scared the hell out of me... Anyway, local monopoly or not, we'll not darken their door sill again.
