I only came here since it is next door to Babies R Us, and needed a card, gift wrap and car wax. I understand that this Walmart is getting a makeover to a Super Walmart. Interesting... I don't normally shop here as Vista has a higher city tax, and it gets crazy busy at this location. I find that this location has smaller aisles then the other Walmarts I frequent in Oceanside. I didn't see a wide selection of gift wrap and cards, so deferred that purchase. Only walked out with a bottle of wax... read more

Another Malwarts. Woo hoo. Despite being a Vista resident, I usually go to the Oceanside one. I just like that one better. It's also 24-hours, so that's probably something that stands out. This location is Vista is across the street from a Target. Talk about competition. I'll still end up shopping here to get my toiletries (you really can't beat $0.84 Aim toothpaste). For this particular check-in, I came here to buy an electrical fan during the heatwave (before the black out), but they were all sold out, except for the crappy ones. The service is fine... the guy in the electronics section let us plug in the fan and see how crappy it was. Thank God, because it would have been a waste of money to buy that "cool blue" or "lime green" piece of junk. He could have been a douche and said, "we can't open the box," but he was genuine in trying to assist us. The one awesome thing about this Walmart is... drumroll... the bathroom!? I can't explain it, but the ladies restroom looked like it came out of a Nordstroms. Flowers in stainless steel vases on the wall, automatic toilet/sinks/towel dispenser... even the diaper changing station for parents had a metal coat rack and stylish table. They pride themselves on the bathroom, as they should... the place was spotless and didn't smell funky. Strange that a Walmart would earn 4-stars because of this, but hey, they do well what they're here for: being cheap and effective. read more

This is not my favorite Walmart. I came in to return a product that didn't work out and I was the fifth in line in the customer service area. There were only 2 associates available and one of them didn't really know what he was doing. The lady that was being helped wanted to exchange some items. It took them about 10 minutes to do the exchange. The line was getting longer and longer and I was in line for 25 minutes before a 3rd associate came from his break to help. It's nice to know that there is a mobile return where you can skip the line and do the return on your smart phone. An elderly was upset that someone skipped the line to go to the mobile return. The lady was kind enough to help the elderly with the mobile return. Overall, it took me 30 minutes to return one product. I thought I was in Disneyland for a second. Nope it was just Walmart. read more

The lack of organization and cleanliness at this location is incredibly disappointing. We are well into our stay at home order and most other grocery stores have a very well oiled system in place for the safety and protection of their customers and employees. This store had very little in place to keep you safe. I will not be coming back here ever again! read more

They really need to have a time on there website for when the electronic section opens, your store opens at 6 am and there's never anyone in electronics until almost 10 am. It's bull! Nobody in the store has a key, not even the manager. Then the guy with the keys gets here at 7:30 and opens the case & there's not even the camera in there! They need to update there shit. I stood there for nothing. Apparently the people that work in electronics know about electronics so I asked him about an SD card and he says "idk". read more

Workers here on the night shift are absolutely rude. I've asked multiple people on the floor to assist me on getting items that are locked behind the glass in the shampoo and feminine products section. One employee pressed the call button once and told me to wait, and walked away. I waited and no one showed up. I went back to ask if he has the key and he said no and turned his back on me. I know not everyone is like this, but stop hiring people who aren't of any use. This guy was so rude and disgruntled and I just wanted to buy some feminine wash read more

Dozens of employees walking around and only 1 cash register open. Line was out past the aisles.

So disappointing!! You need to teach your people about customer service! Never have I seen such a group of lifeless sloths. The people at the check out move so slow, I walked back to the cereal isle and still had to wait for her to finish my order. Never once did she offer to have someone get me a new box of cereal, she said, "Do you want to go get it, or just get it next time" I picked it up because I wanted it for breakfast. You know, if I acted like that at my job, I would be fired!! It is so sad that all the rotten jokes about Wal-Mart are true. I shop here because it is convenient, but, I really dread it sometimes!! Wake up Wal-Mart workers!!! Look alive!! read more

I don't know where all these bad reviews come from! You guys should go to downtown Escondido! This place rocks, I've been here a couple of times and I've always been treated very well! If they have a substitution they always give me a larger item than what they didn't have! I went to Aldi next door, now there's a stinky place to shop. Not so good. read more

The walmart.com business has flagged me for some unfortunate reason. I spend alot of money on delivery for groceries and my diabetic needs...i ordered clothing and was denied delivery. During this transaction they stole my money for this transaction and refused to give it back. Since this is federally insured money I contacted the FBI which is doing and investigation into this matter...don't use the Walmart.com app it's full of corruption...Walmart is biased and racist. read more

I have been shopping here for a few months and am really disappointed with the selection. Although it is advertised as a grocery, the shelves are constantly empty and items haven't been restocked. The checkout is also such a painful experience. They regularly have two lanes open with cashiers and the rest is self checkout. So the lanes with cashiers, are a mile long. I think that if you are going to be a super Walmart, you need to have more than two cashiers available and not encourage people with loaded carts to use the scan & go lanes. I will say that the staff is always really friendly and the store is very clean. read more

I usually have a bad experience when checking out at this store, so try to avoid it. I figured I would give the pre-order and pick up the same day service to avoid check out a shot. So glad I did! It was soooo much easier!!! I was in and out in 5 minutes! read more

I went to this particular WalMart (Vista, California) after searching the "Find Stock and Check Inventory" tab on their website that stated this item was in stock on aisle M4. Once there the toy was nowhere in site. Searched around entire department then asked the supposed "Toy Department Manager" Told him my dilemma and he asked if I had the "Item Number"? I pulled up what I had found and he said, "I have no technology experience so I can't help you locate this item in the store." He also stated that item went on clearance weeks ago. I stated I didn't think the app was worth it if it gives out false info....what's the use. I just wasted gas and time coming to get what isn't there...maddening. Come on Wal-Mart-Mart if you're going to offer an app, make it work first. Don't waste my time....... :( read more

The grocery pick up is usually very good here - on time and well packed. A couple of times (though I don't remember if it was on a pickup or delivery) they were out of a lot of items (worst was I picked out 4 different types of band-aid boxes, and when we got it they said they were out of all of them), but generally they have had what the website says they have minus one or two items. Shopping in the store pre-COVID was good too - easy parking and friendly staff. Selection is the biggest drawback - would love it if they had oatmilk and more organic and healthy gluten-free items. read more

The new techs at the auto care center are a joke about parking. They wana control living spaces associates parking declaring "it's where we park cars we after we work on them" read more

Currently in line for 25 minutes and still waiting. People are opening their food and drinks while waiting. THERES ONLY 3 LINES OPEN 3 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS?? Not the cashiers fault, this is coming from the top. Employees are always nice here, I feel real bad for them. There's about 30-40 people in each line. read more

If I could just put no star I would do it ... Horrible experience! I do the online delivery for a reason I'm not trying to risk my 2 year old and 1 month old to be out with this pandemic . I ordered for my purchases to be delivered at 2-3 pm yesterday and it's already 9 am and I haven't received anything. Needed the diapers for my child and didn't receive them cus of this horrible service ! Don't know why they put a time frame when they don't deliver at the time it's said it's going to be. Its so ridiculous I tried getting a hold of customer service like literally 15 times and no one answered the phone. I called customer care and they couldn't get a hold of them as well . So how can Walmart try to satisfy people with prices when they can't satisfy with good service? Unexplainable. I will be cancelling my Walmart membership. read more

Ok everyone who reads my reviews knows what's up, if I'm not happy or completely satisfied with my deal I'm just not going back EVER. I'm not going online to have a "1,2 or 3 star cry fest filled with drama" it's just not who I am. Wal-Mart is KING bottom line the best deals you go online and buy pretty much whatever you want from earbuds to vitamins to Meat, Veggies, Fruit and bread and there is no competition NONE , not only that you pick the time it's sitting there waiting there for you curbside. " Really " they come out drop it in your whip and REFUSE THATS RIGHT REFUSE TIPS . Trust me you can't even try to shove a $20 in their face they won't take it they are so polite and nice love the curbside service the absolute best. I've been to ALL GROCERY STORES NONE EVEN REMOTELY COMPARE of course all of this is just my humble opinion, find out for yourself Vons 2 bags of groceries $80 dollars, Stater 3 Bags $100 dollars all with a big fat attitude, don't need that I need more deals and zero attitude that's why Wal-Marts my place . Never thought I'd say it but I am . Best price more stuff no attitude love it . read more

I had been searching around four tires to put on my BMW for over 2 months. I finally decided to check Walmart and was very pleased at the price, speed, and friendliness of everyone involved in the process. I purchased two tires at the time and will definitely be going back very soon to get the other two replaced. read more

On June 1, 2018, I went to the Vista Walmart (as usual) to cash my Social Security Check which is my only form of income to pay monthly rent and other mandatory living expenses. I am a 74 year old female with health problems or I would be working to help others. I want to send my sincere THANK YOU to Vista Walmart Customer Service employee, "Kathy" who literally saved my dignity due to my physical arthritic problem of not being able to correctly punch in my social security numbers @ Walmart cash processing machine in order to cash my needed livelihood. Immediately, she came to my aid and helped me by correctly punching in my numbers that I had already messed up punching into the machine. If it hadn't been for Kathy, I wouldn't have been able to pay my rent on time! Kathy took the extra step to genuinely care about a person as well as a customer, and I will always be a loyal customer due to Vista's "Kathy." THANK YOU AGAIN, KATHY!!! Helena J. XO read more

This review is specifically for the Walmart Vision department. I went in on Monday for an eye exam. Mariam fitted me for contact lenses and I am very happy with the service that was provided. She started the appointment on time, very knowledgable about eye care, and seemed genuinely concerned about the health of my eyes. She recommended a daily contact lens for me since I am only wearing them three days out of the week. I never even considered the option but now I think its a better fit for my lifestyle. Overall very impressed with her and appreciate her help. read more

The customer service at this store is shit. I have asked 4 employees for help at the jewelry counter. I have hit the "press here for help" button. And 45 minutes later.......NO ONE has shown up. And walmart wonders why people hate the store. If i could give -5 stars, i would. This is one of the worst walmart stores i have been to. read more

Walmart Supercenter - Grocery Near Me - Vista, California

Ordered something online and have been sitting with an irate woman who has been waiting for 15 minutes. This level of service is ridiculous.

Went into the store to do some grocery shopping, got a bottle of wine along with all my groceries, and as I was about to pay, the manager I.D.'ed my 5 year old kid and said we both had to be 21 in order to purchase alcohol. Maybe managers shouldn't look like middle school students... Walmart is pretty wack read more

I received fantastic service tonight for my grocery pick up at 7:45 pm. The young man was extremely professional and cordial. After a few not so great customer service experiences at Walmart, this guy really impressed me. I hope the good employees that go above and beyond are recognized. I wish I got his name !!!!!! read more

I have had my delivery order canceled 3 times this week. Each time the order was canceled it was canceled well after the scheduled delivery time. I have called the store several times but nobody will answer the phone. Each time I place an order, Walmart withdraws the funds from my bank account and it takes several days to return the funds. Horrible store with no customer service read more

Ok- I know what you're thinking... Why the heck is she reviewing Walmart?!? I like Walmart. I'm a cheapo (NOT to be confused w/ cheap HO), and I can find cheapo stuff here. i.e. a surge protector (no Stephen- this is NOT a sexual reference) is only $2.96. I also bought a WAKE YOUR A** UP turn key alarm clock for $7.82 (because my cell phone and electric alarm clock just don't cut it). --------------------------------- Cheap, sometimes long lasting stuff. +1 star. Harriet- the cashier who- get this- *SMILED* and said, "You have a good day" and MEANT it. +2 stars. --Harriet, if you're reading this- Grrrrrl, the gold bling on yo teef is TITE. ;D read more

You do realize there's a Target directly across the street, right? I hope that busting a customer's chops over where they have to pay for a $.97 pack of disposable razors is making up for the $100 that they were about to spend elsewhere in the store. read more

I refuse to step foot in this store ever again! And quite possibly any other WalMart as well. The way the "Maintenance Supervisor" spoke to John on register 2 yesterday, around 12:45pm was absolutely rude and uncalled for. The customer behind me in line even agreed when I opened my mouth and said something. I refuse to support a company who overlooks such hostility in the workplace. For someone to be talked to the way John was, in front of several customers, is absolutely sickening. I guarantee you had I known John personally the "maintenance supervisor" would have my face and choice words forever embedded in his brain. No wonder people are so pissy leaving this place. That ruffled my feathers and I don't even know the poor, eldery man - who seemed very quiet and timid and not the type to talk back. He even said, "sorry" to the asshole who was being so rude to him - who most definitely does not deserve that type of respect. Get your employees in check! It starts from the TOP!!!!! And a supervisor with such attitude should be kept behind the scenes!!! read more

I will never forget that night when my tooth was killing me and I couldn't sleep because of it. I became willing to convert to any religion that promised to make the pain go away. At 3 am, that religion was Walmart -- the only place open and selling pain relief medicine. Seriously, though, it is a good store, considering that it offers the same products as other stores do but for less money, and that the store is open 24 hours a day. No, it's not the cleanest store in the world and the cash register lines are long. However, there are times when I will gladly accept those conditions in exchange for lower prices from a store that is always open. read more

I wish I didn't have to give them the one star, they DO NOT DESERVE IT!!! I have had my bags in my cart looked through, my receipt thoroughly reviewed embarrassing me, or the register having a "remote attendant" interrupt my transaction for "an update" the past FIVE TIMES I've visited this store!! WTF?? I've watched people not even scan items and walk out the store, and not even have their receipt even LOOKED AT!! I have been harassed and discriminated against!! I'm a Decorated Disabled War Veteran, also I have a job that provides me with a DECENT LIVING!! There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I need to steal!! Totally embarrassing!! I'll drive to Encinitas before I shop here again!! read more

This Wal-Mart is the worst. I went here for the first time today. They had long lines that moved at a snail's pace. The person in front of me took forever. I wanted to scream. Do yourself a favor and go across the street to Target. read more

BEWARE! It took 3 pickup attempts to pk up my grocery order! First time after waiting 90 mins they came to my car and told me I would have to come back the next day to pk up my order. Came back next day and after waiting another 90 mins they said they couldn't find my order and to come back tomorrow. Well I'm here now, been here for over an hour and they are RESHOPPING my order. There's a SERIOUS problem here. They need to figure it out. This is way too stressful!!!! Beware if you want to pk up a Grocery order. Think I'll go to Vons. They do the same thing as Walmart does with ordering & pking up and them putting the groceries in ur trunk. So does Target. Update-Grocery pk up employee "Vanessa" should be Fired! She tried to tell me I wouldn't be able to pk up my order tonight as it's been past 24 hours instead of listening to what I was saying. And from the look on her face she seemed to enjoy telling me that. I reported her to the Mgr. read more

I'm not an avid Walmart fan, but I like the fact that they are open late... Kind of. On the night before Christmas Eve at approximately 10:30 PM, I went to buy beer for the next night. I walked to the very back of the store, picked up a case of beer and lugged it all the way to the checkout passing numerous Walmart employees in the process. Only after waiting in line with my case of beer for 5 minutes and reaching the cashier was I informed that they do not sell beer after 10 PM. Kinda stupid considering that I can drive about 1/2 mile to a street full of bars open for another 3.5 hours. Needless to say I was upset. The second strike came when it came time to buy more oil for my old car. I found it convenient to buy online since they never have my brand/viscosity in stock. I received a notification a few days later that my oil was ready for pick up. Once again, at approximately 10:30 PM, I stroll in with the intent to pick up my oil. As I'm logging in to their kiosk, the security guard stops me and tells me that the online pickup is not available after 8:00 PM. As far as I'm concerned, this Walmart will not be given a chance for a third strike. I don't see the value in driving to a store that is open, but cannot help me complete a purchase. read more

Walmart's printing of my holiday card order was a disaster. They were totally off center and cut off, and when I asked for a reprint, they obliged but ran out of paper half way through the order and could not complete the order. I had to submit them to ANOTHER Walmart to complete the order. Long story, disaster results. It was painful. BUT!! In the midst of the crazy poor quality, there was a definite silver lining. A true FIVE STAR experience. Isidrio and Greg in the photo department. Maybe two of the nicest, most helpful and caring sales associates I've ever encountered in any store ever. They went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure I was being helped. They were genuinely sorry when my order seemed doomed to fail. They called other Walmarts, got me refunds, etc. It was such amazing customer service. I promised them I would write a letter to their management about them. I hope this reaches their managers. You really should keep people like Isidrio and Greg employed. They helped soften the blow of the embarrassingly low quality and helped me come up with solutions. Thank you so much Isidrio and Greg. And happy holidays to you both. read more

Every single time I go here to get ammo I wander around the sporting department for about a half hour trying to get somebody to open the ammo container for my purchase. I don't know why you have a department that is meant to be staffed by somebody with a register and responsibilities but yet there is nobody there 99% of the time. I've noticed the quality on groceries has went down so I've stopped even doing my grocery shopping there. Winco has come to be much better of an option. Honestly, 9 out of 10 times when I walk into the store it's a fiasco. Management can ever get anything right. You can use the self checkout to make things faster and then the computer will crash and it will take them 15 minutes to figure it out. Defeats the whole purpose of a fast self checkout. This happened twice to me. I used to find value in this place, but I can no longer support their business and practices. As a small business owner myself I see the importance in supporting locals who emphasized in good quality products and outstanding customer service read more

This Walmart's like any other now it seems with the same cookie cutter layout and somewhat messy product upkeep. Reminds me of K-Mart now that I think of it right before they started taking a tumble in the world. Definitely not like the Walmarts I knew in the 90s where there was pride everywhere in the store for having American made products. Anyway, unlike the Walmart I usually shopped at, this one had a adequate staffing at the cash registers and processing the queue took only a few minutes. But I'll still go to the other one which is closer while this one will remain a convenience to go to should I feel the need to shop at the other stores nearby. read more

Definitely a sub-par shopping experience. With a good sling-shot I could break their windows from my patio, so this ought to be my store of preference for just about anything. Sadly, no. Pathetically limited selection in all departments. Half empty shelves throughout the store. Goods pulled out of their packaging and scattered around the shelves. Almost non-existent staff to help with queries, and those you can find don't know their ass from their elbow. When it first opened, they tried hard, but of all the places I could shop, this is the one I'm most likely to try only as a last resort. read more

I have shopped at this Walmart for a very long time and have seen it's decline year after year. If you want to have a cashier check you out then you'll be disappointed. You might see one cashier in a blue moon with a very long line of people waiting to check out. The idea is to have you check out your own merchandise. If you need help then forget that too as you see too many of the employees texting in their phones hidden in a isle or a group bsing. If you do get one assistance attention then that person most likely will be rude. I was looking for help in the electronics section and saw a male employee just standing around. I asked a question and his smart ass answer was that he was on a break and couldn't answer my question. If he was on break then why stand behind the counter? The same guy does the same thing each time I have been in the electronics section. He's on a perpetual break looking through the lens of his glasses. The solution was to go to Target across the street and get away from the bad experience you'll get these days at Walmart. Sorry to see it decline so quickly which makes me wonder why the store manager just lets it continue to go down hill. read more

Been waiting for an hour and a half for pickup in the back, they won't answer the phone when you call and I have send a bunch of people that just got here getting their groceries every time I try to talk to somebody they run away they won't let you in the back area I'm about to leave and they can't even guarantee me my money back I am so pissed I will never shop here again read more
