I feel like a lot of these reviews are from ignorant people. Lol. Why would you need a "knowledgeable associate" at Walmart? It's Walmart! Get your things, check out, leave. Well anyways, every staff member that I've come in contact with has been very kind, they half smile when they walk by and that's all I expect-again- this. Is. Walmart. Aisles are pretty clean and most things are under the right tags. read more

We came here early in the morning. This Walmart was super clean and the workers were very friendly. They also had nice clothes especially if you're looking for kids stuff or outfit basics. It's on the smaller side for a Walmart, but it was pretty nice. read more

Wow! I'll say it again; WOW! This place has gone DOWN HILL on a rice rocket! This store USED to be full of NICE, KNOWLEDGABLE, employees. I was looking for a toaster cover- the woman who stopped to ask what i needed had no clue what I was talking about. Since she didn't understand what I was asking for, she decided to check her cell phone. A few minutes later she saw mw againd and asked; "did you find?" I told her no. She then said; " if you find you will show me where." I saw a man who had stopped to chit chat w her, I asked him if he knew anything about them... And he said, "it is better to ask her, I am maintenance only, and my English is no good." However, his English was good enough to stop and talk with her for 3 minutes. Very disappointed in this place. I'll call corporate tomorrow. read more

I would like to thank Kimberly for helping me find the items on my list. She was very patient and made sure I received the best customer service possible. Thank you!! read more

I haven't been to Walmart in years and my recent experience reminded me why. 1. I ordered something online and had to pick it up. There is no sign at the entrance that you have to walk to the back of the store for pickups. 2. Upon arrival, there was no one at the counter. But a screen indicating I should "check in." After I checked in, my name was put on another monitor. 3. After waiting a while, no one came. I asked someone who was walking back and forth from the employee doors if I was in the right spot or if someone was coming. He said yes, I'll get someone. He came back and said she's coming. 4. While I'm waiting, another employee asks if I'm waiting to pick up. I said yes and she replies incredulously, "oh did you check in? Did you call for someone on the keypad?" Keypad? I checked in on the huge monitor? Well, apparently where you swipe your card, there is a button to call for someone. Is that explained anywhere? No. Was that mentioned on the check-in? No. What was the point of checking in if it doesn't communicate that someone is in the area? Another person to pick up a package was just as confused. Ridiculous. read more

Worst, absolutely the worst 3x I have gone and waited 15, 25, mins or longer for assistance with the bicycle items locked away NO ONE EVER COMES TO HELP. how can you sell items if they are locked away and won't come to unlock it for a customer NO WONDER people are always stealing them NO ONE WILL COME HELP TO SELL THEM ONE. SERIOUSLY HAVE A SYSTEM PLEASE I JUST WANT MY BICYCLE PARTS read more

I know. A 5 star review for Walmart? In Martinez? Come on, right!? Yep. I mean, everything here is SO CHEAP! Target, who? : ) It's amazing how much stuff you can buy here -- and I'm constantly wow'ed by their roll back prices! Maybe it's just me, but I always get helpful, friendly, kind Walmart associates to assist me with my shopping needs. At the Customer Service Counter, whenever I've returned something, it's been quick and easy and the employees have been efficient and nice. Mariam assisted me during my most recent visit and she was pleasant and really helpful! If I've needed to find something in the store, I've wrangled an associate working on the floor and they have walked me to the item(s) and even helped me search the shelves for the item or looked it up in the inventory and aisle number on their phones. In-store pick up at the very back of the store is run by the sweetest, helpful, organized manager, Latisha, who, when I hadn't picked up my item yet, called me the day-of as a reminder and set aside the box for immediate pick up. When I arrived, although there were six people in line for in-store pick ups, Latisha made sure that everyone there had checked in and she got through the line with ease, even asking how I was doing when I told her I was working through the flu! The cashiers are always kind and friendly as well and I end up having the most interesting conversations with the gals, even after I've completed my check out (of course, only when there's no one in line behind me : ) For example, the most recent cashier was studying to be an ELL/ESL teacher while she worked at Walmart. Even the guy checking the receipts at the door is nice. Overall, walk in with an attitude that yeah, this is Walmart, and some of the shoppers *do* look shady, and yeah, you're there, but if it's for the low, low prices, then maybe it's not so bad after all. read more

This is the closest to Concord and it sees to have everything. Optometrist. Self serve cashiering. Just needed to go in and out without going through a football stadium. read more

I was checking out and saw that the price of STP fuel treatment was ringing up as $2.12 when the listed price was $1.47 when I asked why the cashier said, "that's how much it is, if it's different the. Go and take a picture and come back." That's awful customer service!! Why should I have to pick up all my things go back and proper that they priced it incorrectly!?! I'd rather give my money to Target or anywhere else if that's how I expect to be treated! read more

What the heck is going on with the East Bay Area blue collar workers? Just stopped at Walmart in Martinez and the first two workers I spoke with looked thrashed- unkept clothing, no smiles, no eye contact, just broken slang-like English with horrible attitudes! Pathetic & sad! Not the nice family store I remember. Folsom Walmart is much cleaner and employs happy, well mannered adults! read more

(with apologies to Sesame Street's Bob McGrath) Oh, who are the people at your Walmart? At your Walmart? At your Walmart? Who are the people at your Walmart? They're the people that you meet each day! Oh, your neighbor, he is going to go To the Walmart when he's low on dough. The selection is so big and wide, Fill your basket, candy on the side. But the service is just not too good, They don't help much when they know they should. But you find your things quite quickly, and shucks, Who cares, because you save the bucks! So your neighbors are the people at your Walmart. At your Walmart. At your Walmart. Your neighbors are the people at your Walmart. They're the people that you meet When you're driving down the street. They're the people that you meet each day! read more

I am here atleast twice a week for staples in the house. It is a Walmart, not much to say. Staff is friendly. They are usually stocked. The pharmacy is easy and cheap. If you are a Walmart shopper I highly reccommend downloading the 'savings catcher app'. You scan your reciept and they compare everything you bought to competing stores including the DOLLAR store and give you the difference. When your refunds gets to an amount you want to cash it in they just scan your phone at the register or you can print it at home. In this last year I have been refunded over 100 bucks. It is pretty awesome for me that way I dont have to run around to hella stores to be sure I got the lowest price.. Its a free app. read more

Waited in line for 30 minutes to return something. Got to the front of the line, only to be informed that the computers had gone down and my return could not be processed. 2 stars because there was someone directing the line, otherwise would be 1 star. read more

Alright... so it's not the greatest store. When I step out of my car, I'll admit that I feel a little uneasy. It's not like Target where I can casually roam and spend a great amount of time browsing and contemplating whether I need a nonessential item. That's why I use their online service! Seriously can't beat Walmart prices, sometimes. I got a work desk with drawers and lots of counter space for less than $50 and they shipped it free to my apartment thanks to their back-to-school special. (I feel so youthful!) But the chair I ordered wasn't part of the deal so I had it shipped to this location free of charge. I went to the '.com' department and pushed a button to call for assistance. In the middle of processing my pickup: Guy: What time is it? Me:....I'm sorry? Guy: Do you know what time it is? Me: (t-shirt time??) uhm... *checks time* It's 8:30 Guy: Oh.. I should be on my break now but I guess i'll just finish this up Me: ... thanks? Yea, I don't get it. I was waiting for a funny but he was serious. Anyways, I appreciate the convenience and recommend the online-to-store method if you don't want to pay for shipping. read more

The front staff member was very rude in trying to direct customers to the return line. She commanded us where to go without even getting our attention. Her name is Nora and when I told her she was behaving rudely she ignored me. Very unprofessional. Won't be coming back soon. The first face to greet you should always be a friendly one. read more

I'm not a Walmart type of guy, unless I'm in Spirit Lake Iowa and need supplies for our Summer Family stay at the Lake. Before this building was a Walmart, it was Costco and had the same smallish and difficult to maneuver parking lot (with Home Depot/Yard Birds/Home Base) at the other end. Before yesterday, I think the last time I was here was a few years back when I was in the process of installing energy efficient light bulbs throughout the Albany House. My Brother wanted to come to any Walmart before he returned to Taiwan. He had a long "we can't get it there" list and he had an extra suitcase to fill. My Son was happy to oblige as he mentally ran through his "must have" toy list and how he was going to con me into paying for it. His associated allowance calculations are creative and impressive. I ended up with some incidental toiletries and was lucky that the Kid couldn't find most of what he wanted. My Brother was considerably more fortunate (and efficient) and I was happy to get back to the Pleasant Hill home and its air conditioner. And back in Albany? The fog has blissfully come in. read more

I was visiting the store in Martinez, California store today 10/26/18, around 2pm. I witnessed several (at least 4 ) clerks having a rather heated argument near the fitting rooms. Something about someone not being there today. That someone maybe assigned a task to this one woman who sounded like she was refusing to do it. Yelling, "I'm not going to do it. She's not here!" Others were joining in and one lady said, "I am sick of this s***!" Another, "I'm not touching this anymore. I'm done with this!" They then started bickering amongst each other for a solid five minutes in voices that were slightly under the level of screaming. They seemed oblivious that I was even in the area. The lady behind the desk had the loudest voice and she seemed the most disgruntled. Tall, a little heavy, blonde hair in an updo and glasses. All in all, very unprofessional attitudes and conduct. I tried asking a question to one of the ladies involved a question before this went down and I was straight up ignored. Class act right there. Honestly, if this store didn't have such an awesome air freshener selection and cheap kitty litter, I would probably cease shopping here. Cheap prices shouldn't come with cheap service. Don't get me started on the new womens clothing lines, which are a whole new level of SUCK. Bring back Faded Glory, please. read more

NO RETURNS ALLOWED AFTER 6 PM? WTF? I bought my defective product after 6 PM the day before. No problem!! NO more buying at any hour, at any Walmart store, if this-is the way you do business. read more

Don't come to Walmart thinking you are at Neimans and you wont be disappointed. You get what you pay for and you pay very little so don't expect extra stocked shelves and a whole lotta help getting stuff you need. Expect cheap prices, cheap dairy items ($1 greek yogurt and milk less than $3!) Gotta love it! With a family you gotta be more price conscious and thats why this place is around. Love it! read more

I'm a big fan of this Wal-Mart location. The store is generally really clean, even with the worst crowds. It's well organized. I love the fishing section in the back. There are generally a lot of employees around. The greeters are also friendly. We came in this weekend and there were more people than I've ever seen in any Wal-Mart...EVER!! But even still, we managed to get our things and get in a line that wasn't as bad as we expected. Our cashier was patient with our three gift cards and even took my reuseable bags from me and bagged all the items himself. Four very full, large bags! I think his name was Jerome. *(??) Super friendly, congratulated us on our wedding when he saw the gift cards had wedding deco. And he was fast. Some of the other lanes were barely moving compared to ours. Customer service is really important. Whoever is hiring at this location is doing a good job. Certain Wal-Mart locations (Tulare, CA) have lost my business for good. Note: This Wal-Mart has a McD's inside - it's Monopoly game time right now!!! Good luck to everyone playing!! :D read more

Yesterday, after looking at my receipt,I realized I had been overcharged on at least two items. I went to the customer service desk. I waited about 10 minutes. I explained that I had been overcharged for two items. An associate was sent to check on the prices. Meanwhile the customer service rep asked me to stand aside so she help the folks behind me. 10 minutes later the runner comes back and says I was overcharged. He also said that he'd fixed the problem. I made a comment to him and he said "I was talking to my coworker not you" . Lol. The customer rep continues helping the lady that was behind me in line and ignores me. I decided to just cut my losses and leave. Bottom line: Walmart will rip you off and treat you like a nuisance for keeping them honest. read more

Pathetic!! The staff and management take no responsibility for their actions (or actually lack thereof) and for all their touted supply chain management, this store is failing sadly in this area. 1) online orders are routinely canceled in whole or part 2) pick up orders are rarely ready when promised 3) staff are rude and disorganized 4) interior of store is filthy Skip this store and go elsewhere! read more

Walmart - $4.97 per six lbs. of Epsom salts soaking my feet. - Department Stores Near Me - Martinez, California

It was January 17, 2012, and it was 'Moneyball Day.' I've grown especially close to the film, due to being a huge fan of Jonah Hill, but also of the Oakland A's story. Additionally, I was there one of the nights of filming at the coliseum back in '10. Fast forward and it was Tuesday morning and I rushed to my Hilltop Walmart to get the exclusive three disc Blu-ray set. I was there a little late and asked an employee and it turns out they hand't received their shipment... UNACCEPTABLE! It's 'Moneyball Day'. I called the Martinez Walmart, which is only about 15 minutes away and they had plenty of stock, so I made my way immediately. I arrived at the store and although it's not as big, it's much better than the Hilltop location. The store has much more variety, more space, and better customers. No ghettoness or hoodnes visible at noon on a Tuesday. I didn't get much of a chance to look around, but it's simple to see why it's better than the RIchmond store. I won't drive out of my way for this store, but I can admit it's much better than Richmond/Hilltop. If you ever have a choice between the two stores, I definitely suggest going with the Martinez location. read more

I don't think I will ever go to this location again! So disorganized, mile long lines, the slowest cashier is on earth. I went to get some T-shirts today, they're all locked up. Me and another gentleman stood in the aisle pressing the button for service and waited for 15-20 minutes with no one coming to help. As I left, I could hear the calls over the radio saying customers needed help in the men's department. Saw plenty of employees walking around doing nothing. Yelp should really have minus stars. read more

I went into Walmart today to dispute a charge on my credit card. It took a lot of digging for Brandy and Jenny to find out what happened. They called me later to tell me it was for ink, and dang it, I forgot I had bought ink! my bad for sure. They could not have been nicer about it to me. Now that's customer service, to go above and beyond and it was my fault.  and took away from their time and they were so nice about it too. Thank you very much Jenny and Brandy! read more

Used the self check with my debit card only to find out later that evening that my credit card #/info was used to withdraw money from THEIR ATM at the very same location I shopped at hours earlier - I did call my bank but decided to go to Walmart to speak to the Manager also. I spoke to someone named Jamie, who basically didn't give a shit ... she didn't even write anything down or take a report, and told me that if I wanted to see the video I had to contact the Martinez police Department. So, needless to say , won't ever shop at a store that doesn't actually make an effort at any customer service !! read more

I haven't been here in a few years. Now I know why. They have everything locked up behind glass. I just won't come back. I just wanted some work pants and maybe some socks and boxers. It's all locked up. Bull$***! read more

Why aren't you guys picking up? I called many times to inquire about a lawn chair and it suddenly hangs up on me.

I was running a quick errand and I had no choice but to come here since it was off the freeway. If I could rate 0 stars, I would. The cashier was rude, no hello, thank you, have a good evening, none of that...She didn't even bag up my Moscato. Psh! Still hate this Walmart. read more

I just went to Walmart in Martinez and pick up a sleeping sofa bed, I was so lucky that I got Xavier to help me, and also He is a supervisor and he had ken to help too. It is a heavy item, we try to fit it in my small car, and it doesn't fit, and they are really good that helping to take the boxes off. Now we had to super careful to put it inside the car without scratch it. While they both are trying and two nice guys that run from two different directions and come to help. With 4 guys each one holding one corner that make it much easier to go in. And the other guy also Consider when I drive and turn the sofa might hit the window, and he put and box to make sure it won't move . It is full of love in the world. Thank you guys ! read more

Very disappointed that they aren't taking much safety measures anymore. I gave it a second chance after the first time going- the second trip was worse then the first. They aren't keeping track of their capacity numbers (no more counting at the door) so inside was very packed, I couldn't get into a lot of rows due to the amount of people in each one. Carts weren't being clean and they didn't have anything to offer to clean anything on your own. The trip was short since we didn't feel very safe being inside anymore. Rushing to self check out at some point we needed help. I looked over and asked a male employee if he can help me he sat there looking at us and didn't budge one bit so an older employee came to us instead. I won't be returning until I know Walmart is following the PPE safety guidelines. Yes prices are cheaper but I wouldn't mind paying a little extra somewhere else when it comes to my health. (This visit fell in the month of July 2020) read more

Called multiple times and no pick up I have two broken legs. Do I need to get a ride over there so ask a question

Curbside pickup was convenient. I pulled in spot number 1 was about to check in for a pickup. This sweet lady came out asked me if I'm here for a pickup. Without check in on Walmart app. She then brought an item out to me. Quick and easy. She is friendly and she is amazing! read more

I was waiting for a Bike for over 15 minutes and finally Someone cane and she was going to call someone for a key and never showed up.

Now that I am in Walnut Creek, the Walmart in Martinez is the closest to me. I usually don't shop here, but being a first time renter, I knew that Walmart was a good choice for a one-stop-shop to get all of the items that I needed. My first experience was very pleasant, but let me tell you about today, my second time coming. At check out, I tried to purchase a lid for my hefty trash can that I purchased from the same Walmart just last week. When the cashier scanned the lid, she told me that they don't sell the lid by itself. She told me that they only sell the lid with the trash can as a combination. I explained to her that I in fact purchased a trash can without the lid, and she was not sympathetic at all. (-1 STAR) I was at the left-most line where the manager could hear me and even the manager was not very helpful. I explained that although I understand that the lids are only sold with the trash cans, the previous cashier did not inform me that. (-1 STAR) She should have told me to get the lid to accompany the base. The manager told me that I would need the receipt. I told her that I did not have the receipt with me. She said that she can't do anything for me. (-1 STAR) I told her that I have the credit card with me that was used to purchase the trash can, and she still can't help me. (-1 STAR) She tells me that its not her problem. (-1 STAR) After all is said and done, I take it as a loss and ask the cashier for that specific managers name since the manager walked away. She said her name is "Vilma" with such disgust towards me. I check out and go along my way. Before I leave, I talk to customer service. Ellie helped me out. I explain my situation, and she is very understanding and empathetic. She tells to grab the lid and check in with her. I did exactly that and went along my way, leaving the store with the lid. (+1 STAR) Thank you Ellie for being the only one with common sense, because the cashiers and management seem to be overpaid at minimum wage in my honest opinion. I will continue to patronize this Walmart, but congratulations on being my only one star review. Common decency and human kindness goes a long away. Next time do the right thing and tell me that the lid comes with the trash can, or be understand that if I purchased a trash can with a lid, give me the damn lid. read more

No one to ever open the cages and they profile Black customers. Going to self check out is so uncomfortable on how much they watch their black customers but when there's other races that don't even pay attention to them read more

For order online and pickup. While other locations will substitute items if its out of stock with something better or similar, this place will just mark it out of stock. Defeats the whole point if I still need to go inside and find a similar item to substitute out of stock items. read more

So after standing in line at the register you have to stand in line at this store just to get out of the front door it's absolutely ridiculous. There is no law stating that you have to stop and show these people a receipt the only reason why Costco gets away with it is because you agree to it in your membership. Stop holding me against my will. read more

Shortly after placing an online order through my Walmart account, I received an email that my order was ready for pickup. This surprised me as I meant to have the order delivered. In any case, I went to the nearby Walmart to get the items I had ordered at the pickup area. I had never ordered "pickup" before and accidentally walked into the wrong door (employees only, I assume). I was immediately harshly greeted by a young lady (employee/worker) who loudly yelled at me "Get out of here! You can't be here." Several of her coworkers were present. Very embarrassing to me. Seldom treated with such overt disrespect. read more
