WalterMart Batangas — Local services in Batangas City

What a weird experience (1 out of 5).

Today, we went to Waltermart Calicanto for our usual quincena basic grocery. All went well except for when we are at the cashier to pay for our goods.

Typical scenario at the cashier, the attendant ask for our SMAC and we hand over our phone to show my SMAC app where my QR Code and Card number is visible (we’re bot sure if we have our SMAC card with us at that time). The attendant call for assistance for the on-site manager or supervisor (maybe?), shouting “Ma’am, pa-manual” (Please, take note on this).) But then unfortunately, “We don’t do manual po.”, the manager/supervisor told us. I then explained that that was the usual thing that happen when we forgot our SMAC, in addition, we told them that earlier we use the same method on the Waltermart Department Store, on the same building, of the Waltermart branch. But then, we receive an explaination that “iba po kasi kami” (context of what I understood). We then opt to let the transaction without SMAC.

Two item scanned later, we found our SMAC in between our cash bills. We immediately handed the card to the cashier but then, too late na daw and that we should pay for the first 2 scanned items muna, then next transaction na yung remaining items. We ask if we can “pa-cancel muna yung mga item” then re scan? But to no avail, di daw pwede pa-scan. Because it was too late na daw, we opt na lang sa sinabi ni ate.

It was weird lang that there was a default shout na “Ma’am, pa manual po” but then they don’t do manual na. Siguro hindi lang nakapag brief that morning or if matagal na yung policy change, hindi aware si ma’am cashier or hindi pa nakakapag brief for the said policy change.

But pwede i-manual yung gift check worth 20k, in another story na lang siguro, matagal tagal ding kwento yun.

Hindi ko rin alam yung “di pwede pa-cancel” since naka-cancel naman nila pag kulang pera or change ng mind nung buyer, from my previous experiences.

Anyway, sobrang weird lang or unusual nung process kanina.

Sorry po sa mga...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 – A Hidden Gem for Kids at Walter Mart! As a mom of a very energetic 7-year-old girl, I’m always on the lookout for safe, fun places where she can play while I run errands or grab a coffee—and the indoor playground at Walter Mart has been a game-changer for us! The moment we step into the mall, my daughter runs straight to the playground with the biggest smile on her face. It’s clean, colorful, and well-maintained. The staff are super friendly and attentive, always keeping an eye on the kids, which gives me peace of mind while she plays. What I love most is that it’s not overly crowded, so she has plenty of space to enjoy the slides, ball pit, and climbing areas without feeling overwhelmed. It’s also reasonably priced, and they even offer packages or time-based rates, which is great for budgeting. I usually take a seat nearby where I can relax and still see her having the time of her life. Bonus points for the soft flooring and safety features—they really thought of everything! If you’re a parent looking for a safe and fun spot inside Walter Mart where your child can burn off some energy, I highly recommend this playground. My daughter calls it her “happy place,” and honestly, I kind of do too. 😅 — Mommy Cherry & her little playground explorer, Caitly...

2023 Review Update:

My go to mall when I go to City section of Batangas CIty. It has everything from parking, supermart, and fast food.

The place. it is situated near a busy intersection so it is expected to have a moderate traffic when going inside and outside the mall. The parking is sizeable.

The shops. From fast food to appliance center. It has the basics. Check the 3rd floor and it has a cheap hardware shop.

PS: the parking is sizeable! this is why this is...
