Writing a review for Walmart is a fairly simple task. If you want to buy something for a good price paired with comic relief customers, it's the place to be. But what makes this writing different is what it has now become. When the original Walmart first opened up (yes...I'm that old), it was fantastic. But as the years went by, the plethora of hostile Asians and Indians began flocking over there and lived up to their stereotypes. Now, before you political correct people bash me...I'm Asian...so I'm bashing my own people. Relax. Anyway, the old Walmart became a cesspool of dirty and the smelly crotch of Milpitas...and no, it had nothing to do with the fact that the city dumps were nearby. The employees knew nothing and most of the hired help spoke very little to no English. But then....decades later, a change happened. Some of the hired help...were helpful! Things started turning around and while the deals are still deals (it's still a Walmart), suddenly, a massive construction project happened. In what seemed like years, Walmart's construction project finished and now, it is the Walmart Supercenter. I must say....I was very impressed. Lighting throughout the whole store was improved and everything seems brighter. Additionally, it felt like things seemed more organized. Not quite sure if that is true or not but after the relocation of items, everything seems to fall into place on where it should have been to begin with. What I do like about this Walmart now is the wide...super wide, grocery area. Lots of room to accommodate the South Bay rush of inconsiderates and mannerless people so crashing into each other in the food aisle is now limited. Although, it seems as the rest of the store's aisle width remained narrow though. Even the outside looks much more modern and less like an oversized half-way house. The color and the decor of the outside is really appealing...although the parking lot's painted crossing pathways seem to throw my eyes off...hey, I'm old, remember? But being the patriotic person that I am, I was happy to see that they're flying Old Glory out in front. There have been people who complained about the Tire Center service and while I have yet to purchase tires from them, I'm always using them to change out my oil. Although the "greeter" position at the oil and lube probably needs some more training, the entire process post-car-admittance was great. No problem with the oil change, and with three kids in the car, gotta love the fact that they vacuum for you to suck away all the dirt and cheerios scattered about. Be warned: If you want to shop here during the 'busy hours', be prepared to suffer the wrath of inconsiderates and the self-entitled people...you know, the ones who look like trash, smell like trash, and think that their poop don't stink. The employees try to make it a better place to be but at the end, you're not shopping with them. However, if you come during those non-busy hours...i.e.: REALLY early in the morning, prepared to be amazed. It's wonderful. read more

OMG, where do I start. If I could give negative stars for service and attitude, I would. 1. I was in the bakery. I asked an employee how much the bread was. She said, "Everything... " as she was walking off. "Everything" was all I heard. My husband asked me what she said. I just said "Everything", and walked off. I told him I didn't hear her at all. 2. We parked our cart by the TV stands. Other carts and people could pass through. An employee was pushing two carts together, guess collecting empty carts. Our cart had bread and my husband's cane. The employee asked if that was our cart. I said yes that is our cart. She abruptly pushed our cart forward and banged it with her two carts. She then left the two carts there and went to do something else. Boy, she must have been having a bad day. 3. We were looking at the TV stands. Actually, we found one we liked. The sign said ask for associate assistance. I went to photo and clicked the kiosk for assistance then asked the photo person to call for assistance. We waited like 15 minutes. At this point, I said they didn't want our money. I wanted to leave. My husband went back to photo. The employee that was coming to assist us said he had just got off break. My husband came back to me at the TV stands. Hmm, another 5 minutes of waiting. Oh, we finally got help. He scanned the item and said the item was right there. We told him that we wanted the larger stand specified on the label. To our dismay, he said that it could be only ordered online. It would be nice if there was a sign that said that. I can say what a waste of time. I can say this Walmart in Milpitas can test my tolerance level and patience. This is one place that I would not like to return to. I wanted to talk to the manager; however, my husband said I should not waste more time looking for someone to tell me where the manager is. I chalk this up to one's life experiences. read more

This review is for the auto center department. This department has three auto bays that each has a lift and an overall clean bays. But I am amazed why Walmart managers or probably the workers them selves, only schedule1 technician to do oil change. I brought my car this morning and I was told that I was the 8th car and it will be 3hrs to get my car oil changed. I don't know about you guys, but this to me is way below standard. I would even say that probably an unknown mom and pop auto repair center can get this done way faster. I am only giving this department 1 star, it is for the competitive pricing of the oil brand. I have a synthetic oil so this place is good for the brand. read more

I love this walmart, bcos it is open 24 hours a day! And I can find anything from fresh food to frozen food to household items and more.... this is really my one stop supermarket and the prices are cheap too. read more

Walmart Supercenter - Fresh food department - Department Stores Near Me - Milpitas, California

Absolutely horrible. They allow way to many people in to where you can't even walk around comfortably without someone being in your space. There is still a pandemic does Walmart not know that? I went because I needed cards and there were long lines down the aisle I needed. It was like a mad house in there and with the customers not knowing any type of social distance or respect for personal space, I'm guessing what was a manager (because he wasn't wearing a vest he was wearing slacks and a sweater vest and had a headpiece connected to a walkie talkie) wasn't even social distancing. I was trying to get out the madness and I turn around and he is right behind me and for what? Horrible I couldn't even get what I needed. I would not recommend ANYONE to go here. read more

I tried to go with an open mind and leave my emotional dislike for Walmart at the door. It was going fine until I found out that they were completely out of tents, every kind. How is a place like Walmart EVER out of stock of ANYTHING? It was like getting shot-down rudely by an unatractive person in a bar, who you weren't even trying to hit on anyway. I got a bunch of other crap for cheap, so they get some stars. read more

PROS: Amazingly put together! LOVE the super store. The bathrooms are totally clean! I wish every single Walmart would be this put together! CONS: Customer service really needs some "customer service" skills; what an oxymoron! But oh so true! Can be a wee bit condescending. They almost laugh at you with an air of "you're an idiot." As I would NEVER know what they're saying because they begin speaking in their native tongue therefore, kinda scratch my head leaving that place quite pissed off... thinking, "ISN'T THAT WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS FOR???" I NEEDED HELP AND WALKED AWAY FEELING LIKE A BIG DUMMY! read more

Waiting almost and hour for Walmart pickup!!!! They won't let me cancel. I will never be back!!!

This Walmart sucks balls. I usually put up with Walmart because of the prices but this location isn't even worth it. My friend ordered something site to store, we went and it wasn't there. Asked three different Walmart associates ALL of them had an attitude. Not helpful at all. Seriously take your business elsewhere! read more

I've been to some walmarts that are incredibly difficult to navigate- but this one has a very simple and cleaner layout. When attending Walmart I usually am drained of energy just when I'm finished with produce! But the convenience and wide spaces in aisles for shopping carts make this Walmart less of a chore. Very far and few will an associate step out of their way to help you or greet you, but I had been greeted by Kylee who was very friendly and made me leave with a smile on my face. :) I really appreciated how clean the aisles are kept and how easy it is to find a great deal here! I normally buy home necessities here, but if not- there's always dollar tree around the corner! This is such a nice location for the McCarthy ranch area, and it's always lively. High traffic days are Saturday and Sunday around lunch time or late into the night- so be sure to do your shopping accordingly if you hate crowds! Pharmacy has always been helpful for me here, and this is such a pleasant and more upscale walmarts in the Bay Area. I'd definitely say the staff here is of the friendliest I've met, and it's always a comfortable environment to get my vegan/vegetarian frozen foods in abundance! read more

When I got there I had to wait in line at the tire center counter for 15 minutes before even being helped. The woman at the counter said the wait time for an oil change was an hour and a half--which would have been fine if my oil change was completed after an hour and a half, instead I waited an hour and a half and my car was not touched. At that point I asked for my keys back and left. At the Milpitas Walmart Tire Center I observed the kind of lack of morale, non-existent customer service, contempt for work, and general disfunction that I associate with a dying business. Walmart needs to either pay better to attract better and more motivated workers or shut the store down because it is an embarrassment to all hard-working Americans who value their time and take pride in their work. read more

Another horrid shopping experience that does not even deserve one star. ONE HOUR to get through the line to turn in my keys for an oil change, with only six cars ahead of me. People were driving away from the end of the line after waiting a few minutes and seeing no one checking us in. Idiot managers had ONE PERSON checking people in. THREE HOURS MORE until the oil was changed. Grand total of two TLE techs working. WORST. WALMART. EVER. read more

I took my car (Civic Hybrid)here for 4 new tires. First they told me they don't have the matching tires. Then, they said they do. So I waited for almost 3 hours to find out they couldn't unlock the tires. No one asked me the question when I dropped off the car. The entire check-in and service process is slow and painful. They upgraded exterior and interior of the store. However, why wouldn't the leadership team invest in technology (maybe an iPad to take orders) and hire quality people. We customers want affordable and quality service! read more

Always very few cashiers open and LONG lines. You could NEVER find an emoyee for help. If, by a miracle, you find someone, chances are they won't know either what you're looking for and will wish you luck on finding another employee to ask.( Yes, true story) Always a mess and disorganized. Honestly, I'd rather go yo a safe way or target, even if I have to pay a little more, it saves you the frustration and irratation of this location and staff. read more

This store in in major need of new management. It is filthy, employees are very rude, and the store is very disorganized. I find that they are frequent out of items, prices are missing and it is hard to find things. I have also have found cream in the refrigerated section to be one week expired. When I brought it to someones attention they gave a a don't care attitude. The lines at checkout are very long and slow. The cashiers show no sense of urgency. They also seem to lack training. I really hate going to this Wal Mart. read more

Need a hazmat suit to use the restroom. Nasty nasty. Walmart corporate should come check it out. Smells like urine.

I hate Walmart. All Walmarts. They actually get zero stars. I don't care that their stuff is cheap. That's because THEY'RE cheap and don't pay their employees enough, or compensate them with any benefits unless they HAVE to. I read that they spend their corporate money at places like Hooter's. I don't patronize their stores. Ever. Before I read about them, yes, I've bought some supersoakers or something like that, but after I read about them I told them to f*$# off. I ain't spendin my hard earned cash at this rat trap establishment. I spend MY money at Target, or more often, small businesses. Walmart will be the end of small businesses everywhere! Down with Walmart! read more

We came here to Wal-Mart to pickup a few items. This store was an not the greatest experience I have had at this chain. Prices are the same as the other Wal-Mart but the service is worst. The line was very long at the checkout, and the cashier was not the friendliest - I couldn't blame her for it. The layout of the store is O. K., and it was crowded in the store today. Good prices and selection is what I come to Wal-Mart for. Parking was not the greatest at this store also - patience and good walking shoes are needed - LOL I would come again but maybe at a different time of day. The prices are hard to beat at Wal-Mart. read more

I usually don't shop at walmart, but I ordered something from walmart(dot)com and used their "site-to-store" shipping. Upon arriving at the wonderful Milpitas location of Walmart, I attempted to find the location of where I could pick up my package as quickly as possible so I could avoid spending too much time here. I entered the store and looked around, walked around a bit and finally noticed the signs pointing towards "walmart(dot)com services". So I followed these. Unfortunately, they lead me in a circle around the entire store without actually pointing me where I needed to go. And for some reason there were people singing karaoke in the front of the store on this fine day. So I quickly headed towards the back of the store again and finally asked someone where I should go. After about another 20 minutes I had my box and left the store, only to be treated to the smell of Milpitas as I exited. I think I'll stick to the Mountain View location if I were to go to walmart again, which is not likely, or at least that's what I tell myself to sleep better at night. read more

Yuck! Walmart Milpitas, what happened to you? Granted I don't frequent Walmart that often, but from what I can recall, my previous experiences at this Walmart was a lot more pleasant than my experience today. Overly crowded, super unorganized, unprofessional workers, and the list goes on. Some of the items that I needed were about the same, if not, more expensive than my usual stops at Target/CVS/Safeway. I just made a stop since I was in the area, but now I know to never come back. read more

I ordered furniture online from Walmart and they used pilot freight services. The receipt had informed the website that the furniture arrive at P.F.S. 12/05/18 now its 12/27/18. I've called P.F.S. redundantly that they were supposed to have it delivered by yesterday 12/26/18 but no show, WTF! So I called them again. For sure they said TODAY. NEVER EVER going order online again from WALMART. Why make an appointment as to when to deliver my package/pallet? P.F.S, do a better job delivering to your customer(s) because you just lost one. Who ever manage the place she/he should get FIRED don't know how to manage the places. Finally got my merchandise. They hold my furniture for 21 days for no reason just bad management,what a waste.If you want order on line don't waste your time. Sincerely your, unhappy customer read more

I made an order for curbside pick up August 27 2021 . I never went to pick up the order due to an emergency. I went and tried to pick up the order a day later and they told me items were put back. I never received a refund on my PEBt for these items and they put that someone picked them up which no one did ! They took the items back and stole money to from me to feed my son. This place is over all ridiculous I've called numerous of times to get my refund and I keep getting the run around ! DONT GO TO THIS WALMART !! read more

Oh wow. This place has no words. The Walmart on Story Road in San Jose got a makeover and this place got a complete pass on that. The isles are cluttered with messes made by the customers and the disorganization. The only thing that saves this place for me is that it's in an off area where people don't want to drive around Milpitas' poorly assembled roads. The store definitely needs a remodel and some serious organization. At least there was girl scouts cookies being sold out front. That's + 2 stars. read more

Dirtiest Walmart I have ever been to. Full of people, stuff everywhere. You have a bunch of employees that appear to be doing nothing. The produce section smelled. On top of that they lie about prices. Don't go here. Go to Target or Costco instead. I came to this dump because of 1 item that I looked online and said they had 1 of at the store. It was the only store listed that had one. I go there and try to find it but cannot see it. I talk to an employee who proceeds to tell me that if it says they have 1 in stock, that means they do not have anything. He cannot be bothered to look for it. Should have walked out right then and there. So I go look again and somehow see the item behind some other things (a game which is locked up of course). I ask someone else to help me get it. He opens the door, takes it and goes to the cashier station. He then rings it up and says it will cost me twice as much as what the walmart online site is advertising (false advertising much). I say I am not paying that, I would like to pay what is being advertised as the price. They go on about price matching and they cannot do it because its online. But they say that I can order it online and then they can give it to me. So I order online for pickup. But they cannot give it to me right there So then the employee takes the game to the front for the pickup area, hides it somewhere in their stock room, tells me to wait. I wait for half an hour and and talk to 4 employees trying to get this thing that I just purchased. I had a manager holding that damn game in her hand come over and tell me that I cannot have it because it is 'sold out'. I was going to buy some other stuff, but at that point there is nothing I can do so I just leave. Next morning, order cancelled, Item sold out. What a waste of time. Not making that mistake again and wasting my time with this site and this company. read more

Just wanted to write a quick review on this Walmart. First of all it's in Milpitas so don't be surprised at the gagging smell of landfill and trash when you get out of your car. And don't expect anything above average here, they have cheap ass prices so expect ghetto customers and ghetto service. Additionally, this place is crowded 24/7 just like Costco. I used to shop here often because of their rock bottom prices, and you can get super cheap cold and flu drugs. Their cold medicine prices are sometimes half what you would pay at any Safeway or super market. One thing I wanted to point out is that my last trip to Walmart resulted in my Infiniti caps on all four of my rims were stolen. I've been going to Walmart for over 10 years and I was always skeptical about the place as it got worse over the years, they have a security guard rolling around the parking lot 24/7 in his security truck and the Milpitas police department RV parked right out in front. I always park near an area where no one would be able to accidentally push their shopping cart into my car, but I guess this time it backfired instead as someone was able to steal my rims caps without being caught. Anyhow, since the new Target opened on 237 and North First Street, I'll be going there from now on. Target has almost the same prices, is much cleaner, less crowded and my car will be less prone to being jacked! read more

This Walmart looks better after renovation but nothing has changed much in terms of User Experience. PS: If you want to visit Walmart Service Center(The place where you return merchandise) at this location, they close at 8 pm. They have no where written on their website when Service Center closes. read more

I DONT know why I'm rating a wal-mart but here goes. I usually come here during night time and I must say that there is an interesting amount of weird people that come in here... I seen someone rearranging the aisles and he didn't even work there.... Another time I seen someone drinking soda down the aisle and I know he didn't pay for a 2 liter to Start drinking it inside wal mart. Lol! On the bright side, their staff consist of mainly Filipino people who are really nice and its cheap in here. I just wonder why there is always a weird person inside whenever I go inside. read more

Good Gawd oh Mighty! What a sucky experince I had at this Walmart. I had only 3 items and went to the"SPEEDY" checkout line. There were 5 or 6 customers in front of me with about the same amount of items. I didn't get to the checkout until 20 minutes later! Everyone behind me was pissed. I aged 10 years standing in one place.The cashier was a 60 yr old Filapino women who just flipped out. This store is run by a bunch of hispanic and Filapino senior citizens. THIS STORE SUCKS! read more

I went there last night and was grossed out. From the moment I parked, there were these small bugs flying everywhere, probably from the nearby landfill. They were all over even as you entered the store. Once inside the store, you can tell they're renovating, but there's no sign that states that. A nice "pardon our mess while we renovate" would be nice. I looked up at the ceiling and saw wires exposed and sticking out everywhere. Is that even allowed? Not a danger or fire hazard? My bf bought one thing and as we proceeded to the registers to pay, the flying bugs were everywhere. I had to keep my mouth closed before I ate one. This Wal Mart is sub standard and the only reason I went there is because we were at McCarthy Ranch. I am a Target girl and will always be one. It's not worth your time, health or safety to go to this Wal Mart. read more

Very rude service. Wanted to look at Apple earpods. The employee had to go to a closet unlock it and got upset after I checked the price and decided not to buy. When I got out, I step on wet paint. Looked back and saw a Walmart emplyee painting the long edge of curb. I told him to put up a sign because the area he painted is very long and people wont see him painting and will step on it. He said i should have seen him painting and kept on painting. These people should be replaced by more polite service people. read more

Theres about 100 employees every shift and no one answers the phone when you call morning, noon or evening. Its very FRUSTRATING

Moooooooo!!! I swear, every time I'm here I feel like I'm one of the herd, especially on a Saturday afternoon! It's like the slow-moving mass of people and metal cars jostling to get down the aisle. Sure, two carts can in fact pass each other, but with like a 5-micron clearing distance. I don't really know if there is any redeeming quality about this store other than if you feel like you absolutely must go to a Wal-Mart then this might be the closer one to you. Oh, wait, I did think of one thing! They have a textiles section. Probably one of the few big-box stores that do. I did some shopping here for cheap fabric, zippers, and cheapo sewing machines once. You wonder why I went here often? I used to live close by and it was the convenience factor... Honestly, there is a Target near 680 and Montague Expy. Bigger, brighter too. Times visited: 50+ read more

This is NOT the place to be during the Christmas holidays. Well what can you expect from any Walmart? Walmart alone is it's own tourist attraction! You see different ways people dress here. You can check more out.(http://www.peopleofwarlmart.com). This place maybe a another alternative to the gym. You get all your cardio and weight training here from moving around and carrying stuff. You'll see traffic jams at the checkout lines. When you plan a staycation, consider Walmart a layover. read more

This Walmart was a gold mine! First, they had fat free mayo that I couldn't find at any other Walmart location (which rocks for those of us on a precontest diet). Second, they had chevron techron injector cleaner which I couldn't find at any other store (automotive stores, other Walmarts, etc). Third, they had a good produce and meat section that was just as good as the San Jose location on Story Rd, but was cleaner. Fourth, they had plastic bags, which the other locations in the South Bay didn't have. Fifth, there located in a very big shopping center, located next to several other shops and places to eat, so you can do almost all your shopping in one general area. In conclusion, this locations rocks and will start going here on my monthly trips! read more

Ah, Walmart. What can I say about Walmart. Well for starters, I'm a Target girl, I try to avoid Walmart if possible, and once actually went 3 years not shopping at Walmart even though I lived right down the street from one. Anywhoo preface stated, I went into this one for mason jars, old fashioned-looking Ball brand for my wedding. I haven't figured out what time of the evening the gnats come out, or what time they go away, but it was like being in a jungle and swatting mosquitos, and needing a mosquito net. The night before I had parked down the way at another store, and my car was completely covered in gnats. I jumped in quick, started driving, they were still on the windshield. I ran the wiper blades and OMG BAD IDEA!!! I then spent some time trying to find somewhere to wash my car or at least the windows at 9pm, while I drove along trying to see the road between the streaks of dead things on my windshield. So yes, by the time I got inside I had plucked more than a few gnats from my teeth and nose. I seriously think that during certain hours there should be metering lights activated inside Walmart to control the traffic flow. And the mason jars they had weren't cute, they just looked like old mayonnaise jars. I then tortured myself with a trip to another Walmart, which also didn't have what I was looking for. Today I'm going to Target. read more

If I could give walmart zero stars I would. Just poor, no not just poor but despicable business practices. The fact that they are supposedly adding organic products does not make this evil enterprise any better. The employees are still underpaid, the stores are a huge waste of space, they put local shops out of business, and I can go on and on about other things. The bargains people are getting come at someone's expense. As tempting as that $2 gallon full of body wash is....I say I'll pass and stock up on it at cost-co. read more

Walmart is walmart...cheap stuff and horrible service. I go to walmart to buy diapers, and I always find other junk to buy. My husband refuses to go with me here because it gives him a headache. The last time I was there I decided to buy Carmex. Since I'm addicted to Carmex, I decided to buy a whole box of them (there were 12 in a box). The lady kept trying to scan the box and it wouldn't come up on her register. I kept telling her that they are sold seperately, but I just wanted it in the box....ergo: ring up 12 @ $.99. She couldn't grasp this concept and tried to get the attention of her manager. I explained the concept to her again and again (while we waited forever for her manager) and the light bulb finally went off. Once she had it all rang up she asked me "Why are you buying so much Carmex?" I told her, "So that I never have to come here again." But, I still go, even though I know I will leave frustrated. I must be a masochist. read more

WALMART is just walmart. This location gets busy and messy quick... It's not soo surprising since we only got 3 walmarts around us... the is place is pretty crowded there aisles are pretty narrow. But if you need to get something real quick i suggest you come here... but if you want to shop your better off going down the street to TARGET. read more

WHY? Why is Walmart loaning out money, cashing checks, sending MO's, etc. I don't really care. BUT when they double-up this "service" in the return-counter, then get ready for a long queue. Take for example, weekday evening, I go to return something (yea, I buy cheap junk here). The line doesn't move, why? well both counter clerks were busy filling out forms, handing out cash, etc. One of the two clerks needed to wait for a manager, the second clerk was having problems getting a phone number from the customer who didn't understand. The line queued up to the entrance, the guy who checks your bags coming in, asked the first two folks over to one of the other registers, where a manager was processing returns. The line moves only at this time. The line grew longer again, the guy asked the next two over to the same register, another 5 min goes by, i'm at the front of the queue. Both customers at the counter, are still there, waiting for their paperwork to process, the guy then said i could go over to the register. The return line was as long as when I walked in, with 0 customers served at that counter. CALL THE BBB... Why does Walmart BLOCK the exits? Shouldn't they be OPEN during BUSINESS HOURS? I'm always tempted to call BBB when I leave Walmart, they block one of the two doors at the front of the building with a trash can or a bench so folks will have to go to the door where a clerk checks their bags/cart. You think checking carts will prevent someone from walking out with an item? Think again. It's like Fry's and Costco, its a scare tactic. /rant read more

This place gets pretty crowded during the weekends, but what Walmart doesn't? Best time to shop is during working & school hours in the middle of the week The place is always a mess! I know they recently rearranged the grocery section of their store but even before the "remodel" the place was still a mess. There's boxes piled here & there. Majority of the employees don't voluntarily lend out a helping hand even when you look completely lost. And when you do actually ask for help none of them seem to know what the heck you're talking about or where to find what it is you're looking for because one staff member will point you in one direction while another points you the other way. Also, many employees will pull out an answer from a magic hat just so they can get rid of you, whether or not the item is still carried in the store or not available. I like shopping at Walmart only because their prices are a lot lower than most competitor stores. But this place, actually any Walmart, brings in all the crazies & weirdos! I've seen customers cussing each other out in front of the cashier only because one customer who was being rung up wanted to know a price for an item before purchasing it. Overall.. I've been to better Walmarts! Parking is crazy. My suggestion is park near the Garden department, they also have cashiers there who seem to work a lot fast than the cashiers up front. read more
