Walmart — Local services in Madera

"Shopping for produce at Walmart is like embarking on a treasure hunt where the only treasures you find are sad, wilted vegetables and fruits that have seen better days."

Oh, Walmart, how you have let me down. Once considered a convenient one-stop shop for all my needs, my recent experiences at your store have left a sour taste in my mouth. Specifically, your abysmal selection of produce and food products has made me question the very purpose of my visits.

When it comes to fresh produce, Walmart falls short of even the most basic expectations. The sad assortment of fruits and vegetables resembles a neglected garden rather than a vibrant display of nourishment. It's as if Mother Nature herself has abandoned the aisles, leaving behind wilted lettuce, bruised apples, and a limited range of uninspiring choices. The lack of variety and quality leaves me longing for the vibrant colors and enticing aromas that should accompany a well-stocked produce section.

And let's not forget the rest of the food products. Walmart, you have managed to transform the simple act of grocery shopping into a frustrating game of hide-and-seek. The shelves appear perpetually barren, lacking the diverse range of options that one would expect from a store of your size and reputation. It feels as if the product selection is based on a game of chance, where finding what you need is akin to discovering a rare gem in a field of pebbles. I find myself wondering if I'm shopping at a discount store or a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

My disappointment extends beyond the lackluster food selection. The overall shopping experience at Walmart has left me underwhelmed. The crowded aisles and long checkout lines create a chaotic and stressful environment. It's as if the entire store is in a perpetual state of disarray, with little regard for the comfort and convenience of its customers. Navigating through the masses feels more like participating in a human obstacle course than a simple shopping trip.

In light of these frustrations, I find myself questioning the value of visiting Walmart altogether. The convenience and savings it once promised have been overshadowed by a dearth of quality food products and a lackluster shopping experience. It seems that other establishments now better cater to my needs, offering a wider range of products and a more enjoyable atmosphere.

Walmart, you have lost your appeal as a go-to destination for my food and supply needs. Your lack of fresh produce and quality food products, combined with a chaotic shopping environment, have left me with little reason to visit. It's time to bid farewell to the once-promising allure of the blue-and-yellow giant and seek greener...

Whatever you do, don't buy a car battery here! Well, I suspect it's more a case of don't buy a battery at Wallmart in general, but particularly not here! the short story: The battery I bought failed in a month and despite them admitting it was defective I was unable to get a replacement despite three trips! If you get lucky you might save a few bucks, if not it's WAY cheaper to get a NAPA or AAA battery than having to buy two Wallmart batteries.

The long story: My battery failed suddenly last September within easy walking distance of this store, so I bought a 24F battery for what was to be fair, a pretty impressive price. It failed totally within a month, forcing me to buy a replacement (non Wallmart) battery since there wasn't one around where it failed. I also don't live near a store, so it was December until I went back to the store. Apparently they have a 90-day money-back warranty, but since it was 93 days before I got back they would only do a replacement, so after over an hour in line (because they only had one staffer out of three stations at the return desk) they said I had to wait until they charged and tested the battery before they would replace it and that could take hours. I don't live there so I have to stand around and wait, luckily the battery indicated bad after like 10 minutes (I did say it was bad after all) so they tell me to go get a replacement. Now, they could have easily checked stock during that time and saved me a trip to the other side of the store since they were out of those batteries! So, despite the fact I had to buy a battery because they sold me defective junk, made me wait around first from staffing, then because they didn't trust me, then a trip across the store and couldn't offer me a replacement, they still refused to refund my money because it was three days outside of policy! Not only that, they would not accept the battery and give me credit but I had to keep it and bring it back! That would be enough, but it gets worse! So I keep it, then go back in a month or so when they have a battery but want another $10 for the core charge and the manager who can make that right is out! Then I go back another couple months later (it's not on my way anyplace, etc.) and they make me wait while they re-test it (yup, still bad) but then they want to pro-rate the battery, despite the fact I still have the receipt showing that it failed the test in December!

Apparently Mall-Wart is...

Came in today 5/3, to buy a carseat for my baby. The carseat i went in to buy had already been fully opened. It was the only one left. When I went to pay at the self check out I had asked if I could get a discount on the opened product as it was the one I wanted and needed a new carseat for my baby. I understand it's not a guarantee, but I asked. Alice, the self check out cashier was extremely rude about. She automatically cut me off and said you're not going to get 50% off just because it's opened. I said I wasn't asking for 50%, I had just asked if it was possible to get a discount for it being opened. She said there's nothing wrong with it, it's just opened. Then proceed to fully open the box and say there's nothing wrong with it. I as the customer have no idea if product is damaged or not. I just saw it was opened and just asked to ask. I didn't open it. I was going to buy it as it was the only one left and I needed/wanted that specific carseat Why was Self Checkout Alice so extremely rude and disrespectful?? She then went to talk to another associate about the incident and was saying "i went over there for nothing", "there's nothing wrong with it", "she's not getting a discount"

What was the point of having such a bad attitude about it? I literally said that's fine, thank you. And she still felt the need to speak and behave poorly towards me and...
