Is your Walmart yucky?

[Oryon20]

Yea, U love there low prices, but do U love the american small business it wipes out, do you love there environmental practices, do you love
how women advance at 83 percent slower than men, do you love the rise in crime rates in there enormous parking lots, or do you love how

they never buy American. How about the wonderful jobs they provide the community with 15 cents an hour over min wage being 60 percent of
there workforce.

There is a reason you can buy a pair of jeans for 9 dollars.

Just say no to Wal-Mart and the Walton family.  Don't fall for their advertising and propaganda.  In many cases, their always low prices?  $0.01-0.02 (or $1-2 if it's something relatively expensive) cheaper than the same item at a comparable store.  Those savings aren't enough to look past their business practices.

We have two Walmarts in town; one is fairly clean but the other looks more run down. I think the location has a lot to do with it.... The north location is located in a more middle to upper class residential area whereas the south location is located closer to the lower class housing. Thus the north location tends to be cleaner, and the people (both workers and shoppers) tend to be less "exotic". We also have a K-Mart that is in the center of town and closest to the lower class housing, and hence tends to be in worse shape than either of the Walmarts.

I do have to say that the customer service is probably lacking at Walmart vs. our main grocery chain. Hy-Vee (our grocery stores) have as their slogan "A Helpful Smile in Every Aisle" which just goes to show the length they go through to establish good customer service. The workers at Hy-Vee are very knowledgeable, esp. in the department they are working in; for example, workers in produce will be able to direct you to the starfruit and even some of the produce managers can help you tell which starfruit are in the best quality, how to prepare them, etc. And if they do not know, they don't try to guess, but will rather try to find someone that knows the answer to your question. Hy-Vee also boasts having chefs and dieticians on staff, which are great resources for advice on different foods and how to prepare them. Their prices may be a little higher than Walmart (esp. for national branded items), but then their quality of produce, the better customer service, and greater selection (ie I think only Hy-Vee carries startfruit; the Walmart produce worker would probably just look at you like you had sprouted horns!) are well worth the extra cost. If I need to pick something up quick, or am buying a lot of cleaning agents from national brands, then I'll head to Walmart (they are the closest store to my house), but if I'm on a large grocery trip or need some advise from a professional chef / dietician I'll go to Hy-Vee instead.

I am happy to say that my walmart is great, always crowded but it is clean and the people are always helpful.

Our Walmart is ok, but just can't seem to keep it stocked good. We drive 80 miles to shop as our store where we live is overpriced. We still buy a little , but usually wait unti a trip is planned then watch out. It is the only walmart around. So a lot of out of towners go. So we  are always running into friends and neighbors. Kinda nice.

The food aisles are tight to move thru, they need to keep the shelves fully stock, and put prices of the products on the shelves.

Not too bad, although I'd rather go to Target.

The walmart near me is disgusting. Even tho it's been "remodeled", it's still just horrible... def can't buy food or any produce at all..

  There are two beautiful Walmart superstores in my city. Walmart really knows how to treat their customers with super sales and excellent services.

All Walmarts are yucky 

[Shandara09]

I've been to some that I don't like, but luckily all of the ones near me are nice.  I just wish the one closest to me would do a better job of keeping things in stock.

[dkanofsky]

We only use Wal-Mart  to get just a few items every week. The prices are not that great and customer service is deplorable.

When I think about the Walmart in my town I think eww...but Meijer, Kroger, ect...good.  Are all Walmarts like this?  Don't get me wrong, I love their low prices 

I now have two super walmart's in my town, and one is relatively new and the other was just remodeled--aka--totally redone--to make it a super walmart. They are both clean and the newer one is about a half mile from my house, so I go there multiple times a week.

The Walmart in my town is clean and organized.
