    Front of receipt
    Todd B.

    This is the closest Walmart to my home, so we come to this location the most. I got my wife a tablet for a trip that she was about to go on. She forgot to take it on the trip so I tried to return it. Apparently they have a 30 day return policy on electronics and I was 2 days past. The customer svc rep called over a team lead named Ashley...flat no from her and then she left. Very cold person. She was super callous about the situation. I looked on my receipt and I don't see anything about 30 days for electronics return....as they claimed. I looked front and back, just don't see it. Look at the attachment and tell me if I am missing something thing???? They said I need to reach out to the manufacturer directly now. This has left me disheartened and mad I won't be shopping here anymore! 4/22/2025 Update. Got a phone message from Ashley, wanting to talk about my experience. I called the Walmart location 6 times the following day, trying to reach her. 4 of the calls were to the operator (non-existent) and on 2 of the calls I selected the option for human resources. This did not change my outcome as no one ever picks up the phone. Since then I have tried an additional 4 times, call on different days with the same result...no answer ever! A total of 10-12 calls with zero answers. Who runs a business like this? This just adds to the frustration and disappointment.

    Now I understand why Walmart in San Marcos has a two star rating. I bought a Beautyrest air mattress for $157 before tax during my shopping trip at 10:10 pm. The young man said Walmart doesn't return air mattresses and that there is a sign that says so. I ask for a manager who walks back to the bedding area where I got it from. Sure enough - no sign! They say it's a store policy but they never showed me the policy. The next excuse is it's past 90 days. It's been 120 days. I've been exhausted from working and just now got around to come to the store. It's been sitting unused at my house. I asked for a store credit and the next excuse is $50 is the max they can give. Frustrated, I left with the air mattress that I could have bought at Costco but they were closed when I was shopping for one. Reminder to all and to me: NEVER SHOP AT WALMART! They are not honest and will do whatever is in the best interest of the company while caring less about customers!

    i was grocery shopping in the Walmart Supercenter Store because my medication was transferred over to this location. While was waiting on my medication being filled by the pharmacist at the Civic Center Drive location, I needed to buy some groceries. This is my first visit shopping at the Walmart Supercenter Store in San Marcos, CA. These are the things I really like about this Walmart Supercenter Store location.: 1. The wide aisles. 2. A Great Selection of Name Brand Products sold in their store. 3.. Really helpful and knowledgeable Walmart Sales Associates on the floor helping me to find a specific item like Paper Towels and Paper Plates. 4. Their cashiers are very efficient, and this man cashier greeted me with a warm smile while checking me out. My groceries were scanned and rung by this blonde haired soft spoken guy cashier. 4. Walmart Supercenter Store accepts E.B.T. Debit Card Payments, Cash, Pesonal Checks, and Credit Cards are accepted from Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay. While one grocery store like WinCo does NOT accept Credit Cards. 5. I talked to a few of their Walmart Supercenter Store customers and these people I had spoken to for a few minutes told me they live in San Marcos and they always have a good shopping experience. There are NO CONS I have found at this Walmart Supercenter Store location at the Civic Center Dr. Location. I received excellent customer service from their sales associates working hard putting their products away on their shelves. 6. UI also talked to Walmart's Store Manager his name is Hector. Hector was very helpful in directing me to the Pharmacy Department since I have never shopped at this location before. In summary, I will come back and do my grocery shopping at this Walmart Supercenter Store when I am in the San Marcos Area.

    It's nice to see that they haven't adjusted their prices to reflect inflation. The store is clean and organized. I know what I want and where to get it. Wally World is more fun for me than Disney World! Shorter lines and definitely cheaper prices for food and drink.

    Pros- this Walmart has has a good variety of things, nice employees, they allow you to walk in with your pets, and a great return policy. Cons- I am a person with a physical disability and sometimes can't walk. I needed a motorized shopping cart to sit in so I could shop and the person working at the front entrance said the entire Walmart only has two motorized carts. This Walmart is very big and for them to only have two, which were both being used, is not okay. I had to leave and not shop because I couldn't walk. Please get more motorized carts for people with disabilities. Thank you.

    This Ralphs is one of the bigger ones in the area, and a while back it was pretty fresh and modern…read morewith the remodel back around 2016, especially when compared to some of the much older Ralphs stores. The parking lot does not have enough spaces to accomodate all of the businesss and there are only a few ways to get in and out. People do not pay attention when driving here, so be vigilant. They do have a large selection of products and there are several specialty rows with several houseware items. They have a few fresh food options, sushi bar, salad bar, etc. and a Starbucks inside. It always seems to be overcrowded due to all of the housing in the area and the UCSM campus. Ralphs is way better than their competitors in my opinion, too bad the one in Vista/Oceanside closed.

    One of the rare times I've ever done a d-ck move just because Ralph's pissed me off. They sent me…read morethis offer, that if I spent $100, I would get $20 off a home delivery order. So being me, I of course ordered $105 worth of groceries. What is supposed to be a time saver turns into an ordeal because you start getting never-ending texts about everything that they don't have in stock and they wanna substitute this or that and this isn't available and all of this nonsense so in the end my bill came out to just under $100 which made it full price and because they couldn't just handle it over the phone and just give me my $20, I actually ended up just returning the whole order so now they get to put it all away and that's what bad customer service gets you.
