Probably my favorite Walmart ever! I have been coming here from the first day it opened. I remeber coming up and wanting to spend all my hard earned money. A lot has changed over the years on the inside but the staff and employees have always been super friendly. The only thing that has never changed is all the smoke you have to endure walking up to the front of the building, with out fail there is always a Walmart employee or two or three living the dream out front just smoking away. I have been to all the east county WalMarts but somehow this one is the only one where smokers kill their patrons. If you love some smoke I recommend you definitely come here and check it out. read more

This Walmart has THE WORST customer service. If you're not from the same culture as they are you get ignored. I had purchased earrings which had to be held at cosmetics (understandably). When I went to make my purchase to cosmetics, I was denied to be rang up because I had "too much stuff". I had under 10 items. Walking by cosmetics previously when I was shopping, I saw her ringing up customers who had CART FULLS of items. Maybe it was because I wasn't the same ethnic descent. Everyone in that store needs to go through an implicit bias education class. read more

I have been taking my vehicles to Walmart automotive for 25 years. Never once have I encountered a problem. This department weather in the service bay getting an oil change or new tires or in the store getting batteries, wiper blades, fluids... The manager, Liz runs a tight ship. I credit this department to the manager, Liz. She has been there for as long as I have and the way she runs this department is phenomenal. I don't know Liz personally so my review is strictly based on experience at the store. Let me just finish with this... if I got coupons to have free oil changes elsewhere, I would still pay to take my vehicle to Walmart automotive on Camino Canada in El Cajon. This woman should be running the store! read more

After two trips in the rain, the real hours of the auto center is they are closed from 11:30 to 1:00. not cool.

On 7/08/2025 We were shopping at the Walmart on Camino Canada in Lakeside. I was in the spice isle looking for something when an employee that does the shopping for online shopping orders stopped her cart right in front of the shelves I was looking at, I said excuse me and she responded with "I am on a timer and do not have the time to worry about you" I responded back with a well thank you.. She responded back with sarcasm and so I snapped back at her.. I moved on to the meat department my wife went back to the spice isle to get something we forgot and the "employee" was standing there gossiping with another employee.. my wife asked her if she was on a timer that made her be rude towards customers where does she get the time to stand around gossiping about customers.. We continued on when the girl approached us again and tried to hit me with her cart.. I complained to management insisting on them looking at camera footage but do not think anything will be done.. These types of employees need to be dealt with properly.. read more

Zero/poor customer service. I asked for help from one of the associates, in the baby care department. I told her that there was a lot of inventory missing and I needed child safety locks-when did Walmart expect their missing products to be reshelved? "I don't know...I'm not sure" was the only answer she had. She told me the employees in charge of stocking would know. I asked her if their uniforms said "stocker" or "inventory", she said no?!?! Well, then how the hell am I supposed to know what everyone's job is??? She told me she would find someone to help me. 10 minutes later, and I realized that she most likely blew me off... Went in line, with only 3 checkers??? Needless to say, it took a ridiculous amount of time to purchase what I could find. Interesting, however, that they have two people checking receipts at the door.......sorry, guys.....this isn't a club store, I don't have a membership here, so I don't need to show you my receipt! I knew so should have gone to target, or ordered on Amazon!!! read more

Walmart Supercenter - Get your crap together, or lose customers!!! - Department Stores Near Me - El Cajon, California

I ordered an item on Walmart online. I tried to do click in my email the notify button the let them know I was coming in the app, the Walmart App kept saying I did not have any pending orders. The email said to go to the pickup locations at the store and to call to let them know you are there to bring your order out. I did this and tried several times to call the phone number on the sign, no answer. In summary I do not recommend using Walmart pick up: - The app is not working and bug infested - The notification of arrival to the parking lot phone number is useless because no one is monitoring it or responding - There is no one monitoring the parking lot to see if anyone is arriving to pick up their orders, this is very important with the phone number not working In store issues: The worker that delivered my item did not acknowledge me when getting me my ordered item with a greeting asking me how I was, or a thank you when done On the positive side service in store getting my item was fast read more

Called electronics it rang and rang, got through twice but didn't get to speak to anyone, person hung up, third time called, the guy was a real smart alec, one person said they didn't have iPads, the smart alec, actually told us there was one, I do want to report this store, something needs to be done about these employees read more

Love this Super Center! Everything great here people are super friendly! You can get everything here for a lot cheaper than Vons and other overpriced grocery stores. read more

Better selection than most Walmart super markets, produce all looked good nothing that I saw rottened. All meats looked well packaged and nothing looked old, they had really good deals too on meat. Their options in dry goods are better than most stores actually found teas that are Starbucks brand that I haven't been able to find other than Amazon. Many employees restocking and sanitizing in between people checking out. I don't usually shop at Walmart but since we were in the area stopped by to pick up a few things and noticed they had a few good deals. read more

Walmart Supercenter - Inside - Department Stores Near Me - El Cajon, California

This Walmart struggles. They don't answer the phone and the associates don't know the hours of operation of the customer service department. These are the yellow vest floor supervisors who are struggling. Also, don't trust their app or google search to get the proper hours. read more

As if locking things up, wasn't inconvenient enough now self check out is 20 items or less only, avoid all cost if you want an easy shopping experience! read more

Takes over 25 mins every time to get your pick up order. Staff never answer the phone. Last time I do an order here!

I have shopped at this Walmart since it opened but the last couple of months I have avoided it all costs. Their redesign of the self checkout and the lack of checkers at open lines is ridiculous. Their customer service leaves little to be desired. I stood in line in the beauty corral waiting to pay for one item for over 15 minutes while the cashier waiting for management to do an override on the customer in front of me. I asked if I could take it to another register and I was told "nope you have to pay for it here so you'll just have to wait". All I can say is WOW!! Step up Walmart and get your act together!!!!!! read more

To my surprise, I was able to get in and out within a reasonable amount of time and not get swallowed up by the mobs, but it's coming with the holidays just around the corner. I Needed some disposable razors, mouth wash, and little pumpy thing of dish soup. I figure Walmart would have all of these for a reasonable price. I found everything rather quickly and was pleased with the variety of shaving products. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/walmart-el-cajon-2?select=TB1jAHbSUlfrjADsHeK5ww#8rD7gCuAKtfUgcHLOlhlvw) I also, picked up a bright colored dish washing spongy thing for around a buck. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/walmart-el-cajon-2?select=TB1jAHbSUlfrjADsHeK5ww#59h__dZXKKyEexdZiWjQOw) I did not know they had produce section at this location, but now I do.

Hello, I am here. At any rate, a least I got out quickly with no troubles. read more

Placed an express order and paid extra to have order delivered in 2 hours or less. I received an email stating they had substituted items WITHOUT my approval. Pressed the "Help" button and was redirected to an agent overseas to resolve an issue with the store up the street! After calling more times than I can count I finally spoke to Beth at the local store who informed me she COULD NOT refund me the express delivery fee even though delivery was to be here BEFORE 3:00pm and it is now 5:47 and I am still waiting! read more

They changed my delivery order to pick up. Without my knowledge. I went to their costumer service on the app. They couldn't put it back to delivery....saying it was ready for pick up. I specifically chose delivery the night before. They were not helpful. Now I'm waiting for my refund to my cal fresh card. So be careful when getting delivery from this location or even on the app. read more

I have been going to the Santee Walmart and have never had a problem like I had the last time I went here! I understand that some changes to protocol will happen with the Covid situation. But that doesn't mean they get to act like Gestapo! I'm a beat up old boy and carry fairly large bag to hold my meds, bandaids, shopping list, heart monitor, etc. A rather rude person told me flatly that my bag was not coming in the store, under 'normal' circumstances I would have taken my business someplace else! Since it's not safe for me to be running around for food items I called for the manager and she showed up promptly (they did manage to keep everyone behind me held up while my issue was resolved) that really made me feel great! She did let me in finally but I was so rattled I forgot one item not on my list...d;^P read more

It's Walmart: synonymous with savings, China and of course: MINIMUM WAGE! What else would you pay workers who provide you the absolute worst customer service? Last time I checked, raises were based on performance... All my conservative opinions aside, this Walmart is very clean and organized (which is extremely rare). But unfortunately for you and the folks who think they deserve 15$ an hour to, what can only be described as, hiding - finding someone to help you is harder than hitting the lottery. Bonus: the people who shop here aren't nearly as bad as at other Walmart's! 'MERICA! read more

This place is a definite waste of your own time. I had walked in to check to see if a couple of my items were left behind, sure enough they were telling me that my items were picked up by my friend and that she had them. Try to avoid this location at all cost if you can. read more

I visited the wireless dept today in search of a new Verizon phone. I worked with Lance and I want to give him MAJOR kudos!

I have seen him at work on many other occasions and he is always soooo personable and outgoing with everyone! He can multitask like a beast. PLEASE...Give him a high five and a raise! read more

I wish I could say Walmart is a good store to come to, but it's not! Most stores when they realize things keep getting stolen, hire security or put in more cameras, but NO not Walmart, they lock up all their products and you have to wait 10 minutes for an employee to come unlock the door and then if you want anything beauty/makeup related you'll have to actually check out in that isle (they won't let you walk out of the isle with beauty products) so make sure all your shopping is done or you'll have to pay twice! And then when you pay and put your receipt away in your pocket or purse cause your hands are full & you don't wanna pay 10 cents for a bag & try to leave, the little old people will stop you and say I need to scan your receipt! Seriously?! You just watched me checkout and walk out of the checkout line!! GO EFF YOURSELF WALMART (middle finger!) read more

Walmart Supercenter - Crowded always. - Department Stores Near Me - El Cajon, California

In this time of COVID, now as positive cases are on the worst rise we've seen in San Diego, you would think this Walmart would be doing better to try and keep their customers and employees safe. You see people wearing masks to go in but pull them down almost just as soon as they get inside, and no worker does anything about it. They stopped counting the number of customers inside too, it's just a crowded mess inside now. Hard to keep social distance. Just this past week, there is word that an employee tested positive for COVID and they kept quiet about it, and will not even tell Employees more details than that. Not even if certain individuals should get tested or not. More employees were exposed and Walmart won't even give them the chance to know if they were at risk? Shame on Walmart. read more

This WalMart is the reason I'm willing to pay more and go to Target or Albertsons. Customer service is severely lacking.

Liz helped me out in the Auto Center here. She was a manager and got called in because I had an exchange. She came promptly and was super quick with the Return. She was nice enough to let me purchase my other items at the same time. The Auto Center was Clearly Closed and she didn't have to do this for me. I think that was super nice of her and the other gentleman that were helping me were also very friendly and professional. I got a lot done this day at Walmart and actually made 3 trips this day. Happy to come back here and spend my money! read more

I did a store pickup order. Received notice at 9:45 that the order was ready for pickup. Arrived by 10. I had to be somewhere so after half hour of waiting I called. They said we're preparing your order. I asked what that meant as I thought it was ready for pick up. I asked them to cancel my order because I had someplace to be. They said ok and hung up on me. As we were driving away we got notice that "your order has been picked up". I called and spent another 11 minutes explaining I did not pick up my order. They've had over a year to perfect the process. Not sure what the issue is. Disappointed. read more

This Walmart is getting ridiculous. They closed in the beauty section and make you pay before you exit into the rest of the store. So if I need mascara, I'll have to purchase it there and have a $8 charge on my card then go grocery shopping to have a separate charge on my card from the same store within an hour. It's stupid. They are treating everyone like thieves by sectioning off the store and have people scan your receipt before you can leave. Also, Belinda who cashiers in the back is absolutely rude. She hulk grabbed my bread then set bananas on top of the loaf therefore smashing the bread. When I told her she was smashing my bread she said "No" then tried to move everything. She's never friendly and her attitude stinks up her whole line. Normally everyone else who works in the back is super nice. Belinda, not so much. read more

These are the rudest and most unhelpful and impolite people on the planet. The checker would not help me when I was asking for help, and when I complained to the manager I was told I was being rude - well bullshit. The checker ran out of bags so I pulled a couple of bags out of my purse that I happen to have and couldn't get them open and she would not help me. I asked like five times for help and she just totally ignored me. I am so frustrated with the store I will tell everybody I know how awful they are. And the manager- please what an ass. She absolutely has no people skills does not know how to deal with people at all -she was rude, disrespectful and patronizing. I had a problem and she refused to deal with it just tells me I'm being rude. well I will never shop here again and I will never let anybody else I know shop here again. read more

I love that there is a super Walmart close by. Having the grocery selection they have is very convenient to swing by after work and pretty much it's a one stop shop to get whatever I need. Their produce isn't a very good quality but for the price you get what you pay for. They have a really good deli selection and the prices are decent. I love that they have a lot of self checkout lines too. It's easy to get in and get out of the store quickly! read more

Ok I quit, I am never shopping here again. It's Saturday and they have 3 registers open with lines all the way into the shopping isles. The customer service seems to be completely gone. The management obviously Dosnt care about customers or service. Shelves are not stocked, employees are beyond rude. And to top it off can't even get checked out. This used to be my favorite store. read more

I will never be back to this Walmart. One of the reasons I frequent here is they have electric vehicle charging, but lately it's been blocked by non Ev cars and trucks. Today when I went in to let them know the "coach" said that they would not be speaking to anyone or doing anything about it. I'm also posting this to all the local EV pages and groups. read more
