Walmart - an observation

I agree. I hate going to Walmart too. Yes, I save money & can get everything on my list, but inevitably, when it's time to check out, there will be only one register open with 100 people in front of me (I exaggerate. A little). Maybe not all Walmarts are like this, but mine is.

I don't buy my groceries at Walmart if I can avoid it. I don't really save money, their produce and meat aren't appealing to me and I rather support my local independent stores. Walmart also doesn't have everything. I've been in 4 separate Walmarts looking for rye flour. I'm assuming that they just don't carry it.

I hate the shoppers.. the Walmart in my town is always filled with gross/rude people. Idk why but they always seems to flock to Walmart, they're never in any other grocery chains.

For me, it used to be the prices but I find Safeway and the other's practically the same price, Walmart's prices are way too high anymore........I go there about once or twice a month........

What I hate about it is that it has pretty much anything I would need for daily living. I hate feeling tied to a store. It shouldn't be that way but living in a small town, competitors don't always measure up. Sometimes smaller chains will have better prices but selection is poor.

You say 2-3 times a week, ha! Try 2-3 times a day. I call Walmart my pimp's house. They stay pimping me and my pocketbook. I get paid to give up to the pimp.

I haven't been to Walmart in a decade or so because it's so inconvenient. I'd have to get in the car and drive far outside of the city, deal with a chaotic parking lot, and walk through a gigantic confusing store trying to find what I need while children are screaming and running all around me. No thanks. If I can't walk to a store to get what I need I just order it on Amazon.

i Hate the lines, and the people who work there always seem like you are inconveniencing them by just walking in! I went into the changing room one day because i saw some shorts i thought were cute as well as a few other things well i was informed by the fitting room lady that the fitting rooms would be closing in five minutes, as i was in the fitting room she proceeded to stand outside my fitting room counting the minutes down i thought it was so rude!! It just seems that everyone there is so freaking rude!!

I don't like shopping at Walmart because the lines are always so long and there are always so many people there. But there are things that I can only get Walmart and it is convenient.

I cannot stand Walmart! I have only been there once in the past few months and I don't plan on going back any time soon. Here are some things that make going to walmart no fun.

-it's always very crowded
-their carts are terrible
-there are always long lines no matter when you go
-other shoppers are rude and some don't even bother putting on real clothes to go shopping! A lot of the parents don't even pay attention to their children while they are there.
-the quality is not the best, especially their produce
-we've taken our cars there a few times for oil changes because it's cheap, but they are very slow so I won't be taking my car there again.
-the cashiers always question my coupons when I am following their policy
-it's always DIRTY!!!
-sometimes they don't keep a very good stock

I'm sure there are more things that annoy me about walmart! LOL

I hate Walmart, yet spend about $500 a month there. They price match adds from other local grocery stores... So if Fry's has milk on sale, and Safeway has group beef on sale, I can get it for those low prices. HOWEVER.... That doesn't change the rude employees, the crowded stores, the crappy produce, or the overall sense of filth. Guess that is the price we pay for trying to stretch our dollars.......

I mostly dislike their corporate policies, especially how they treat their lower level employees. It's hard to resist the lure of cheaper stuff, I get that, but when you think about what the company is doing on a macro level instead of just how it effects me in this moment it's easier to step away and go elsewhere.

I simply CANNOT shop there...it literally repels me.

It's kind of a long store, but here goes:

My mom worked there for seven years, and in the course of those seven years, she had several surgeries on her back. Her back always gave her problems, but the surgeries made it worse. The managers at walmart were unwilling to adhere to very reasonable doctor's requests for my mom, such as letting her sit for a half an hour for every hour she worked. She worked in the infants and boy's and girl's sections, so it would be simple for her to sit while folding clothes or organizing shelves. But no. And, that was another thing, they had her working three departments by herself, and threatened to fire anybody who helped her
There was finally a time when my mom could no longer work for walmart because of her back issues, however, she had to get fired from there to be able to collect money for her disability. She still went into work and did her best, never really trying to get fired, but still needing to, all the same. But, instead of firing her, they put her on unpaid leave of absence-- for a year and a half. At this time, both my brother and I were too young to work and my dad was dead, so she was the ONLY source of our income. I blame them for the hard time we went through, and I don't shop there. I will go out of my way to shop somewhere else.
Also, while working there, they had some employees do what is called "comp shopping" which is sending them to other stores to scan the prices of certain items. They did this to keep their prices the lowest. And this happens to be illegal.

i'm not going to be popular with this stance, but i love walmart.. i was just there the yesterday to get bins to pack my house up in. i got three huge bins and ten smaller ones. not only did an employee help me put the bins in my cart, but when i got to the register, (no line at all) the cashier took all the bins out, scanned them, and then loaded me back up. and he was very nice about the whole thing.

my walmart is very small considering and there is always parking. i park in the back under the trees so i have shade. i have never seen the place over filled.

there is a bigger walmart a few miles away, and the times i've been there were annoying. mostly because of the shoppers. i've always found the employees to be cordial at least.

I don't shop at walmart because a I like to support local stores / companies. Walmart can suck my...
