When Walmart opened years ago you had to swat the employees away just so you could shop. Now if you can find one and it is their department it is a miracle I wanted to buy a laptop today and the first person I found, you got it, not her department. She pointed out two women stacking videos. I walked over and had to ask for their help and they went on to tell me they may not have the keys to get to the computers. Really? Finally with keys in hand I show the employee which one I wanted. After a search she finally found one. I spent $ 426 on one item. Then I proceeded to purchase groceries. I spent another $ 175. When I returned home an item I paid $ 8.00 for was not in the bag. Yeah now I need to drive back to pick up the item. Your employees are lazy and seem to do the minim amount of work to get by. I am sure you have great employees but the ones that I seem to run into lack something. BTW the Walmart on SF ave. you lost the sale of the laptop because your three lazy female employees were to busy talking about their coworkers showing up sick and making everyone else sick a couple of weeks ago. Take some hints from Publix on how employees should treat customers. It may improve your stores.

Apparently I was high and generous with my 2 star review, looking at the rest on this page. Employees make the store and this place rates an «F». WIshing Walmart top brass read these reviews. The manager of this store needs firing for allowing his employees to be so incompetent. This store has gone downhill in the five years it’s been opened. Besides parking lot beggars and poor parking outside, the inside is a shambles most of the time. Displays are scant and in disarray. You can never find floor help. Employees group to socialize. They’re losing sales. Today I needed help. I walked from small appliances to the cell phone counter where a girl employee was flirting with the maintenance guy. I asked if she could check surrounding stores for the item they were out of. She mumbled«I’ll check» but didn’t come back. So I headed to Customer Service. There she was with 3 other employees only she was saying she wanted to hide there a little longer and did not want to work. Caught her with her pants down and she knew it – as did the 3 other employees with her. She started to say there was only one machine for checking and it was busy with the other lady. That woman quickly left and this lady went to small appliances to scan the item. I waited, seated 10 minutes. She never returned. During this time I had a great eyeball for the«culture» of this Walmart. Very little work, lots of employee wandering, lots of people disappearing in the back. An elder person with a $ 300TV had loaded it in the cart herself and asked if she could ring it up back there since no one was on the floor(with electronics unattended? really?) and no wonder the merchandise on the aisles is not being faced out and restocked. I waited no longer and headed to the front registers. Here I found one register open with a long line while 3 women employees leaned on another counter socializing. It was an express lane so I butted in to ask if she was open and was told no. As soon as I got in the long line, she said«yes, she was open» and the two other employees scattered. This was simply disgraceful and at least five of these employees need firing. Plus the manager who was permitting this rampant culture of ineptitude. Shame.

For a Walmart store, it’s fine. But my rating is based on the employees encountered today. From those taking a break outside on the benches talking loudly with f this and bitch that to the check out person who didn’t care about being there or taking care to pack my groceries nicely. The one employee at this Walmart that I enjoy is the maintenance/janitor guy — always cheerful and greets me with a smile. Wish I had his name so I could mention him here.

I use this store a lot because I live so close to it so I know the place better than most of the people who work there. I already knew the auto shop was hopeless but I had an Ever Start battery that went bad and had to go there to get it replaced with the warranty. This was 8am on a Sunday am and it took me 2.5 hrs to have a battery tested and replaced. I sat watching their crew wander around aimlessly getting nothing done. It seemed like it was everybodies first day. When they finally did get a guy on my car, after I insisted, he did get the new battery in then we had the fiasco of doing the paperwork for the warranty and that took 30 minutes. This place has to be be experienced just to see how bad it can be… my particular favorite is the girl who does the intake in the parking lot… just watch her and you;ll see what I mean… If you are unlucky enough to be stuck here for a set of tires or an oil change just face facts and step around the corner of the waiting room and go into the camping section and get a sleeping bag… You GONNA be there for a while!!!

The store is by far the nicest in the area but the auto center is the absolute slowest. If these guys were slower they would fall over.
