This is your run-of-the-mill stereotypical Wal-Mart that we all love to hate, yet we always end up shopping there sooner or later for one reason or another. It's within close to proximity to where I live so it's kinda hard not to shop here. Yes it's ratchet, yes it's a cluster fuck, and yes full of candidates for "People of Wal-Mart" but who cares? It's effin' Wal-Mart. I'll keep coming here out of sheer convenience. read more

For a Walmart this is a nice, clean store. The store is on the small side for a Super-Walmart, with a somewhat limited selection, but your regular day to day items can be found here at Walmart prices. read more

The Vienna Sausage of Wal*Marts. Didn't go in expecting much, but I was looking for a specific product ( A special enzyme that breaks down cat urine from carpet and carpet padding..). Not only did I find the product that I was looking for, they had different brands at different price points. If it's popular stuff that your looking for, they got it. It could be crap shoot to find specific, hard to find items. When you look at this place, it's brilliantly designed. The demographics of this area of town don't travel far from home, and don't care about how many gourmet ice creams they sell. Basics at basic pricing. - The Parking lot uses solar panels to shade cars from the sun. - There do sell some groceries in this location, even though a Walmart grocery is across the street. read more

This Walmart is not my favorite. I can never find anyone for help and if I do ask someone for help they can't help me. The store has been clean the last time I went although the bathrooms were on the dirty side but I went in right before the janitor was about to clean. read more

No one ever picks up the phone there. There's no option to leave a voicemail. This location sucks.

Terrible selection of items. Super small and cramped. Never coming back to this location

Worst customer service!! They treat you like a thief and are very disrespectful. Went into the makeup section and it was closed off because they said it closes at 9pm, however they don't have to give you attitude when talking to customers they can tell you nicely that the makeup section isn't open. The lady was behind the register in the makeup section being rude when we encountered her. When walking out I get that they have to check your receipts, but there was an old man at the enterance making me and my mother uncomfortable looking us up and down as if we stole something. Pretty sure it's just because we are mexicans. read more

This store has some nice employees, but I feel more terrible, unhappy looking rude employees. It's so funny to go there On the weekend , to see only one cashier open , the line is so long , or go to self check out , where they only take cc no cash , and there employees are just watching there phone . Went there earlier today , saw this happening. Hate going there , it's just easy for me since there close . At least look like you like your jobs people , most of us don't have them read more

I have been coming to this walmart since they first had there Grand opening. It all starts when you walk in and Scotty AKA SANTA CLAUSE greets you he is by far my favorite person in the store and yes he's got the Santa beard to match it ,but the managers in this location are amazing such as BOB he really takes the time to listen to the community and has always been helpful for my family and I and I can't forget about my favorite cashier Rochelle she the sweetest lady you will ever meet and always has a smile on her Face .on that note i would like to say to all the staff at this location thank you very much for working during these ruff times were having during covid 19 you are all truly amazing . read more

I called for a simple item and they can't check their inventory or anything all I got was I can't help you bye they have horrible customer services and a horrible ability to talk on the phone read more

Was a long shot getting a receipt from a purchase from Dec 2017. I needed it cause the battery to my Grave Digger Ride-On truck melted.(For Warranty) I spent two days calling customer service. I finally went to the store, and the store manager Ricardo, was the man that dug through paperwork and pulled the rabbit out the hat, finding the receipt. Awesome job Ricardo. Thank you so much. read more

Went to exchange a pair of pants. Had to wait in the customer service line for a godawful amount of time because there was only one employee servicing the line. When I got to the counter she was incredibly nice, apologized for the wait, and offered to hold the pair of pants while I looked for another in a different size. Great! I went in search of the different size but couldn't find it, so I figured I'd try a different pair. I'd just have to try them on. Found a pair, went to the fitting room. And waited. No one was there. As I was waiting, a customer informed me that they were closed. Apparently he had been waiting for a room for a while before being informed by other customers that they were closed. There was NO signage that the fitting rooms as a whole were closed. Some stalls had "closed" signs on them but I figured it was only for late-night theft management. You know, close half the fitting rooms so that it'd be easier to monitor what was going in and what was coming out. It was only 9 pm. So I decided to just take the pair I found because I figured they'd fit, and I really needed a new pair of pants, and I headed back to the customer service area. All the lights were turned off. Thankfully, the woman who had helped me earlier was still there and helped me as her last customer of the night. If I had shopped any longer I do wonder if I would have been screwed over, since she had my pair of pants and I didn't have the receipt for them. All in all, this location is incredibly unorganized, understocked (love how they always have size 0-2 and 10-14 pants, 5-6 and 10-12 ladies shoes), and full of employees that are just overworked and tired because the store is understaffed and, again, unorganized. For a multimillion dollar corporation, you'd think it'd be better run, but my local thrift store is easier to navigate and more organized, so I think I'll stick with them. And their fitting rooms are always open. read more

What a dump none of there employees have any customer service skills they don't greet you none of them want to help you find something .. Scotty at the door is the only one who is friendly and is pleasant anytime I have gone there maybe he needs to teach the other employees a thing or two about how to treat customers you work in retail customer service is part of your job read more

This is the worst store ever. Ask for help and no one knows where anything is. They dont have any problem making you wait. They are the best at standing around doing nothing. read more

Walmart - Grocery Near Me - Escondido, California

We had a bad experience at this walmart. We just needed a simple price check and it took them 25 minutes. Line didn't move for 25 minutes. Cynthia the cashier was nice and apologetic, but everyone in the line was getting impatient. I'm sorry but it shouldn't take 25m to find someone. - Where was the manager to help to keep the line moving? - Why was another line not opened up to offset the wait? - And where in the world were the price-check people? Don't think we are going back to walmart for a bit for items. read more

I was looking for a new electronic purchase and couldn't find what i was looking for. I asked a worker in the electronic section to help me find the product. His name is Erick. Immediately after he opened his mouth I could smell alcohol. His behavior then continued to support my assumption as he started to act in a in appropriate and out of conduct behavior. Rather then helping me find the product I was looking for, he went rambling on about his past (very inappropriate) and started making jokes that I did not find pleasing. Not to mention he kept talking about his personal life and never helped me find what I was looking for. After realizing how unprofessional and tipsy he was, I walked away and left the store completely because I felt very anxious and annoyed. I hope no one else encounters him. Very uncomfortable and unfortunate experience. I hope you guys sincerely take my review into account and hold Erick responsible. Thank you. read more

I hate this Wal-Mart. ..the customer service needs some serious adjustments and the associates (a bunch of little kids if you ask me, who probably never had a job before this) do not have any kind of "can do" "can I help you?" attitudes. No one ever has offered help.Also its been about 3 out of the five times I been there, that I have Wal-Mart employees staring me down and in one instance have been followed around a few aisles, as if I'm up to no good or about to steal something. I have visible tattos on my arms (non threatening) and a !!cupcake!! On my neck! Its 2014 people!!! Stop with the discrimination already... I have never felt this at the san marcos location. .I prefer to spend more gas and time driving there even though I live two blocks away from this Escondido store...this younger generation is showing no justice for the customer service industry. .. read more

This Wal Mart is new. It's located behind Home Depot. When you drive to it you can tell it's smaller than most Wal Marts. I wasn't impressed with it being new. People complain about bad service here, but I think ALL Wal Marts have bad customer service. It's such a different atmosphere compared to Target. When I'm at target, I can stay forever there. Here, I am like, let's get out of here ASAP. I'm from valley center so it's closer to me than target. I'd only come here if I reaaally needed to get something here and I don't have the time to go to target. read more

If I could give no I would they have always had guys checking the receipt at the door today they had this angry lady named Luna she has a attitude with everyone specially with the Mexican crowd and it kind of surprised me because she seems to had been a chola from the old days. She needs to be retrained in customer service etiquette. Also how to talk and speak to customers. read more

Unorganized. Employed wander and don't have any product or stock knowledge. Won't talk to you very much or gone out of way to help you it answer questions They don't l the same stock as the San Marcos one, far far less, so don't go here if you're expecting to find what you get at other locations The phone number listed on their site is wrong. There's no way to call store. Messy and lazy staff. read more

Great neighborhood grocery store. Well managed. Honest staff. This has become our regular grocery store. Highly recommended! We left a $30.00 item at the checkout stand by accident. Went back 6 hours later to ask about it. They had recognized our mistake and were holding the item for us. As I said, honest staff! read more

Were to begin....short working hours, higher prices (compare to Walmart in San Marcos - on same exact stuff - WTF?), low inventory, inexperienced staff, etc. Maybe someday it would be a full size Walmart...we'll see. read more

It super close to my house so i always come here. But wal marts everywhere are always soooo unorganized. Especially late at night. They should stock the shleves when they close not while people are shopping. Either way its cheap and nearby so i will continue to shop here. read more

Clean, neat, well stocked, and with surprisingly clean facilities. However, the selection here is very limited; this is in everything from foodstuffs to toiletries. It is like a mini super Walmart, not a super super Walmart. I probably would go here maybe once per month for toiletries and specific items but grocery shop elsewhere. read more

Great online order experience. Order several items online and got an email that they were ready. Boom! Picked them up and I'm gone.

I have been to many a Wal- Mart. In general it is my favorite one stop shop (most neighborhoods have a supermarket or at least dried goods inside nowadays.) My issue with this store, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Can't get help when you need it. Few to no checkers in the morning (you must go through self checkout even if you have a cart full). Need something, got the wrong size, noticed it's open when you are checking out...forget getting someone called to help you. You can go and see if there is an appropriate replacement yourself if you want it. Bottom line, it's nice to have a Walmart so close, but I wish it had adequate customer service. read more

Yes, Escondido was in need of a Walmart for many years now, but as to why they chose to build a store in the most ghetto-rampant-ganged up area is anyone's guess. And by the way, there are some very nice areas of this city. So it's a known fact that the city wouldn't let them build a super-center store because of a distance ordinance held by neighboring grocery stores. Okay fine. But why even build it there in the first place? "Yes, let's build a dinky store, and in a few months we'll be opening a second dinky store with groceries." Even though this store does carry some groceries, it's not worth the time or effort to do actual grocery food shopping here. There were and are so many empty lots/fields/etc in Escondido that this store could have been built. My personal saying is "don't build unless you're gonna go all out." Sadly, I guess what's done is done. Forget about trying to find an employee on the salesfloor. It's a ghost town in there. It just lacks the merchandise that the larger stores carry. Not convenient at all. And with most, if not all Walmarts, good luck on getting a fast checkout. Only 2 cashiers working, and the store has a total of 10 registers with about 6 or 7 self-checkouts. I'll give it a little credit though. It's beautifully constructed on the exterior, and very clean and welcoming on the inside. Overall though, bring pretty doesn't cut it. With the lack of size and product, I think I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

Yes, it's a walmart, so for all of you haters of mass produced goods, move on to the next review. I didn't even know this walmart existed until I accidentally drove past it when I made a wrong turn. This walmart is smaller than others, probably because it isn't a super center like it's sister in San Marcos. Because of it's compact size, and obscure location, this walmart is not crowded. The lines are short, and you can actually navigate through the isles with your cart. They carry some groceries, but the selection is limited. There is also a drive thru pharmacy, and most of the parking lot offers covered parking with energy saving solar panels on top. If you are in need of a full grocery run, there is a walmart nightborhood market directly accross the street from this locaiton that focuses on groceries vs. other products. read more

They do not have marvel legends for my son when ever I want to reward him for doing good things

Lazy at the check stand: rude and agressive mgr. Ace (mgr) told me he does not appreciate being interrupted. thinks he owns the company. checkers do not not help bag or put merchandise in cart. My arm is in a sling, had shoulder surgery. Lazy, and arrogant- off to Target - we spend hundreds/week, do not need arrogant, store people in this town. read more

We usually dont ever get any help when we go in, employees won't even make eye contact with us. This review is based on our most recent visit. Our box fan broke, we made a trip to Walmart but the shelves were empty. Until Erick the only employee to ever ask us if we needed help, searched the backroom. He was able to find a fan for us and save the day. Thank you Erick! read more

Just want to type this in here real quick but lately I have received the rudest customer service ever at walmart. I have seen it as well it's unbelievable. The staff changed or idk whats been going on with them lately. Its just blows my mind I go here at least twice a week it's close to be and I like Walmart but the staff needs some change asap! read more

They allowed someone to steal all but 1 seated shopping cart. The same thing happened to the Walmart in San Marcos. When will the managers learn? Monitor your seated shopping carts guys, someone is ripping them off in the North County! Assign an employee to be in charge of them. I can't shop without one. I overheard a lady asking for one, and choosing to leave because there was only 1 and it was in use. read more

I came in looking for a bath robe, I asked an associate and she said they aren't carrying them right now, I didn't realize there was a season for taking showers. I guess there are very few of us who take them year round. Ps. Very limited selection, and they close early. You are better off going to the San Marcos location. read more

I liked going here but they treat there staff so bad. While i was here the short lady with brunette cruly hair was screaming at her employee telling them to do it fast which was embarrassing for the employee, she did it in front of everyone too, whatever she thinks she is she shouldnt be in that position i wanted to curse her out so bad. So rude never ever coming here again! read more

I've never been here at all. In fact I never go to Walmart unless it's for condoms and soup. So I don't know what everyone is complaining about, seeing as I've never been here so that means I never had a bad experience. This place is perfect and I'm sure everyone working here is amazing. read more

Made an online purchase of a tv. Was visiting family for thanksgiving so made pickup date a couple days later when we were back in town. Woke up the morning of pickup and started prepping the area for the new tv and was genuinely excited. Just before we were going to head in and pick it up, received a message saying my order was cancelled because the item was out of stock??!! Specifically chose this Walmart because they had it listed as in stock in day of purchase. Funds were pulled from my account, I would assume the item would have been set aside for my pickup date. Not the case. I think the thing that stings the most, is the item is available in San Marcos but didn't get the option to go pickup from their before they cancelled my order. Second is now I also have to wait 7 business days before I am refunded ? There were no issues on my end for the transaction, the money was pulled immediately, but when It is reversed I have to wait 7 days? Just does not seem fair and in my opinion is a bad business practice and poor customer service. My wife still wants to go in and get that TV because it was the best priced for the quality of tv, but I am a little bitter and am going to spend a little more money and purchase from a place that will not put me through this. read more

This Walmart is extremely disappointing. They rarely restock items. If you'd purchased something here on your first visit, don't assume that you will see it the next time you need to re-up. The staff are lazy. They handle things like you have all day to waste. The greeter is too personal. Too many people asking for donations. read more

I came to Walmart to buy a knife and there were three employees talking and I went up to them and I asked if they can help me get a knife from the locked cabinet and the lady was like "can I get someone to come to outdoors with some keys" and then she walked away she didn't tell me oh someone will be with you in a few no she just walked away so I was like ok so I waited and no one came I had to wait like 20 minutes and no one came really disappointed in this Walmart the one in San Marcos is way better read more
