Update *12/6/06* This place is the cess pool of society. I hate going in this store every time! I hate Wal-Mart period.(end) If you want to feel better about how you look, go to this place. On a more serious not, Wal-Mart is the mecca of low prices in this small town. You can practically find anything you want and need in this giant blue box. I give this place a 2/5 just for having everything in stock and for being not to pricey. Other then that, we all know the rap Wal-Mart gets from the media and I sometimes have to agree with them. If you do feel guilty about buying stuff from here, Merced is small enough where you can easily find an alternative ( and most of the times better) store. read more

What can I say, it's a Wal Mart, like all the others I've been too before. This one is on the smaller side. The aisles are crowded and there is a slight off smell to the place. The parking lot is crowded like usual too. I only had two things I was looking to pick up here while in town for a family gathering, so this made it a very quick trip. I found what I needed and was on my way. I guess I forgot what it's like to be in a small agricultural town too. I was quickly reminded of it when I saw customers walking around in their wranglers and boots. No Gina, you're not in LA anymore. read more

We stop here on our way to Lake Don Pedro every year in July for about a decade now. The family just goes inside Walmart and we split up 3 people in one group (5 groups) and just wonder around. We always come back to our RVs with a lot of stuff. We love this Walmart because the community is just respectful and polite! read more

Incredibly rude employees. It's like they try to hire the most UNFIT people they can find. This place is absolutely ridiculous and probably the worst Walmart to exist. I am coming home from this Walmart right now actually and the employee who is supposed to check your receipt on the way out did not even ask for mine and when I showed it to her she gave me the NASTIEST look and NO RESPONSE. It seemed as if she was on DRUGS. Whoever manages this place needs to be fired. read more

Like many other people I've been to quite a few Wal Marts. This one is one of the worst ever. The most rude, unhelpful, no knowledge having people of any Wal Mart. Even after the recent remodel it is cramped and, small selection. By that I mean they used to have like 10 different toilet paper brands and size selections, now they have like 5 brands with various sizes, the same thing with dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, and a lot of other daily use things. My days shopping at Merced Walmart are going to get fewer and fewer. Going to go to Target for better service, cleaner store. Spending the few extra pennies will be worth it read more

This store definitely has to improve on their ability to help out customers with their questions and needs. I have visited the store on multiple occasions for the McDonald but my previous visit was regarding a micro USB cable. I asked two employees and was advised to ask someone else in a higher position in the chain of commands. The second lady I asked was in charge of the technology cashiering and helping out those who were buying phones or technology related needs. I asked her whether they had Micro USB's and her and was not aware what that was. In the end, I decided to not make any purchases but I have seen other employees provide incorrect information when it comes to technology. Thus, it is not the first time they seem to provide wrong or incorrect information. Although I found the Micro USB's I decided to not buy because it seemed like they did not wanted to make the sale by otherwise indicating me its location. Therefore, if you are going to buy anything technology related, make sure to be informed otherwise the employees won't be of much help. read more

It's one thing that walmart is bad for america but this place is just straight up gross. they're supposed to be remodeling but idk if it'll do the town any good. i think i'll stick to the target, even though walmart is only a bike ride away from my apartment. eh, who knows maybe it'll be nicer once the remodel is done.......but again, who knows? Target just opened up their produce section and we got a coupon in the mail for a free dozen eggs...my college girl budget really liked that about Target. we'll see what this walmart has to offer its customers haha update: the remodel is done and this place is still gross. it smells disgusting and all of their items look as if they have been run over by a stampede of elephants.... super disorganized. read more

Went to Walmart on Loughborough in Merced to get an oil change. Noticed a day after that my car was leaking oil had a mechanic look at it and I can't remember exactly what they said but apparently they said Walmart didn't put the filter or cap back on correctly so my oil was leaking out. Worse service ever read more

Not a Walmart fan .....I would give a ZERO but couldn't....there was a BIG bin/cage filled with Beauty rest pillows and a BIG sign for $2.97 so I got 2 pillows when I got to the cashier they were $15.96 oooops to Walmart when manager came she states policy will only allow 1 item at wrong price.... got my 1 pillow and will continue to shop at Target . Bye Walmart read more

Just about the worst Walmart I have been to. Diedra does not manage well and seems to think she has more authority than she does. I've had to wait anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes to get formula. I walked away after getting cash back (stupid I know) and it was taken in seconds by a small child that then ran off with his mom according to the manager who watched the cameras. People hang out near self checkout, staring and Im assuming just waiting for that to happen. I have definitely had more negative experiences than positive here. read more

Walmart is there for any of you needs. Really you can plan any event from the time you walk in...from drank, clothing, car maintenance to last minute party goods....you can't go wrong when in Walmart... read more

this is more of a review to let walmart know they should quit using fedex to merced because it ends up sitting in tracy fedex forever. and this is always. i buy a lot of online stuff and every time it goes to fed ex i cringe. i know it wont get here on day scheduled. it goes to tracy ca and sits there. then they have a tracking it will be here today by end of day. bs never happens it sits in a truck til someone has to look for it. i call constantly and it isnt just ground any service hits tracy ca and way late. i just bought a rug from walmart the tracking said it would be here yesterday and it nows says potentially delayed no scheduled delivery date at this time. they should have put it on a truck for delivery today it is their fault it didnt arrive yesterday. sellers please dont use this horrible service. it as been this way long before covid so that excuse is invalid. poor management and rude management read more

fuck walmart they have clothes out on the floor and then don't respect the prices it scans not letting me pitches anything I had in the car. read more

This rating and review are given relative to other Wal-Marts that I've visited. This one is sort of small. Possibly more creepy people than your typical WalMart. It has the usual, low Wal-Mart prices and decent variety, though. Parking is plentiful. read more

Worse Walmart.......I go out of my way to use the Super Walmart in Atwater. Stocking is inconsistent as basic items are available one week and absent the next. Store is dirty....however this may be more attributable to the clientele. Clerks and Staff are helpful and make the effort. The self check out is a joke. You have to hit the red light to get a bag.....I found this out the hard way by grabbing a few bags off the closed aisle. I was yelled at by some clerk who acted like I was an imbecile for actually taking bags I had already paid for. She told me to use the red light. Then she called for service to bring bags to the others waiting in Self Check Out. When I walked out the door after bagging my items...they were still waiting for their bags. Seems to defeat the purpose of self check out. read more

1 STAR FOR UNFAIR TREATMENT AND FOR NOT PROPERLY TICKETED THE ITEMS ON CLEARANCE SECTION. My mom and I went to this branch to buy a yoga mat but normally every time I shop at Walmart I go check the clearance section first to see if they have good deals .I thought I was lucky to find a King Set of sheets on clearance for 6.80 . I purchased it with a couple more items. Since , there was a long line at the register mom and I decided to do scan and go. At the exit door I stopped and showed my receipt the lady scanned it and went straight for the King Sheet which I was gonna say I'm lucky for that price. Unfortunately, I was wrong she ripped the clearance sticker and scanned another barcode . She scanned my YOGA MAT saying its not on my receipt but in fact it was there I showed her. She then called the guard and hand my item and receipt to the guard. The person at the door who scanned my receipt and my items let the other ladies go through without scanning their items and receipt .Aside from the wrong ticketed item why was I treated so unfair is it because I was wearing a hoodie while the other 2 ladies wears casual. She could've checked them also what if they had items that was scanned at wrong price? Instead she told them that they're good and didn't bother checking them . I followed the guard to the customer service area. Gloria scanned it I told her i found it on clearance section I ask if they can honor it but she scanned and it shows the king set was for 16.00 . Gloria told me that people put sticker and come back for it .I don't get her what is she trying to imply?. I told her they better checked the CCTV's to know who did it .I have no other choice I took my 7.02(tax included) back to much for this .They need to train their employees to treat everyone fairly and check all the items on clearance rack if they were ticketed right! read more

Oh my goodness, I have never seen a Walmart with so many workers walking around doing nothing. They only have two of 10 registers in the front open when they could easily open more and because if this the lines are super long. The money services line in the back is a complete joke, waited a whole hours because there was only one personw working back there when I counted at least 6 different associates walk in and out of the place and none came to help. Shoot, if Walmart needs more workers hire me today, hire me right now. This place really needs the help, don't get me started in the lack of care with electric scooters, three of which were all out of order and there were so many shopping carts all over the store, empty, full of stuff, that beglinged to nobody that blocked the way in almost every other aisle. This is one of the worst Walmarts I have ever been to, and I've seen some bad Walmarts, but this one has a special spot on the list of bad. My opinion, hire more workers, train them how to properly maintain their store and then maybe, just maybe, this will be a much more decent experience for the random shopper just passing through. read more

Horrible Store! Worst Walmart I've ever shopped at! I Hope with there upcoming remodel starting August 2011 it will get better..... If your looking for a dirty store with people just standing around who know nothing about helping customers this location is where to be! This store has skipped a couple remodels and it shows: This store is Dark, Dirty, Unfriendly and has no idea of what In-Stock is. This store will start a remodel In August 2011 and hopefully it will become more like the Atwater,CA or Manteca, CA Stores! Pros: Prices Cons: Staff, In-Stock, No knowing what Cleanliness is and everything else! Hopefully Bentonville will pour some good money and staff into this store and it will become what it should be.... read more

This has nothing to do with the Merced Walmart but to the online service. I could not find the Walmart online yelp page. When I buy from Walmart I buy from their online site. Walmart shipping is the worst shipper and I have had a lot of reailers ship me things. Walmart does NOT secure items in the shipping box, so heavy items get tossed around and crush the delicate items. If you want your delicates to be safe, order them seperate from the heavy items such as a can of soup. Other wise you may find some damged goods. At least they will refund or exchange your item. read more

Julie in the jewelry department provided the most excellent customer service for me. I really appreciated it and recommend her to anyone getting married or in need of jewelry advice. There was no rush and polite service all around. Five stars. read more

So I made an order today for an in store item to be picked up from the Merced store. The item was shown to be in stock. After over three hours I recieved an email saying my item was cancelled because it wasn't in stock. Not the first time I have had problems with the Merced store. Once on an site to store item. My item was in the store for over two days and the Merced store said it wasn't there. Yet I had tracked the item to the Merced store. Don't waste your time in the Merced store and drive to Atwater. read more

I honestly would not give this particular store any stars!!! I needed a white shirt for my boys for 4-H. I went in, store is dirty and had a weird smell. Got what unneeded togetherness and checked out. No one was nice or friendly they were just doing their job. On the way out a white male was opening a Gatorade bottle and walked out of the store. I had a few bags and a bucket with me and I was asked for my receipt and my merchandise was checked. The lady behind me was white and she just went through the door. I was and still am offended!!! I'm not a Walmart shopper and after this I will NEVER go in again!!!! read more

I waited at one of their red button center after pressing the button for an hour n no one came to assist me, this got to be the shittest Walmart in all of Walmart... read more

If I could give this walmart a worse rating I would! The customer service is the worst I've ever seen. I've had multiple negative experiences from waiting an hour for staples to checking lost and found 4 days straight just to be told on the 5th day "I should have came sooner because that item was here but was thrown away yesterday" but today takes the cake. The women working the self checkout at 2pm today should be fired. I waited 20 minutes in a horribly long self checkout line, half of the checkouts were only accepting card, which is all I had anyway. My chase card was declined 3 times which has PLENTY of money in the account. I waited for the lady for about 10 minutes because it said "card declined- server offline" wo I told her there was something wrong with the machine because it says offline she literally raised her voice at me saying "your card was declined because you have no money, theres nothing wrong with the machine" umm excuse me???? Then a lady walks up at that exact moment from a different checkout and says "was your card declined too? The machine isn't working" this place is horrible. read more

Every time I decide to stop by here I regret it instantly! Worst customer experience every time!

You get what you pay for. There isn't a ton of quality but you can buy a lot for not much money. I must say I've never seen such disgusting bathrooms in a Walmart before though. read more

5 star not for the store but for RAYMOND who works there, usually in the pick up department, dealing with online orders. (I see him there every time I go pick an order up) He is the ONLY employee that knows his stuff but he is also the ONLY employee who laughs and smiles. He enjoys his job and it shows! The store gets 4 stars because overall I find what I need usually when I need it. read more

The store has been cleaned up recently, and the staff has gotten more helpful and friendly. My major complaint is that if I park in the handicap by the garden center there are never any shopping carts available. There are always lots of them around the parking area (even in the cart corral) but the wheels are all locked on them. I have complained before but they seem to prefer losing a customer to losing a shopping cart. read more

This place is your average small town Walmart. It's pretty dirty, it honestly makes me feel gross when I shop there. The produce is never fresh, the workers are subpar, and they don't seem to restock items fast enough. Every time I've asked a worker for assistance, I'm met with a unenthusiastic look, and they usually can't seem to help because they don't know what's going on. I've been to better, cleaner Walmarts. Go to Target, but if you're looking for a store with better, quality produce, go to FoodMaxx or head over to the Walmart in Atwater. read more

While shopping at this Wal Mart, I parked my cart just outside of the electronics section so I could maneuver into the crowded music area to get a set of blank cd's only to return to see my cart missing and my items laid out on the floor. The older lady that I believe did it had a mustache and looked a little dangerous so I learned to let things go. read more

I really enjoy getting a good savings. The service does needs more coaching and training. Not the employees fault. I think management needs to step in when they are very busy, and show a little more concern. The lube center did not even take down the competitors sticker with next service date, and did not vacuum my car. The Money center? On a minimum I wait 25 minutes. read more

I'm not sure why this Walmart has such bad reviews. It has everything a Walmart should have and the checkout lines are not ridiculous like in bigger cities. This is definitely one of the Walmart's I like to go to. read more

I though I'd seen and heard it all at this Walmart but I was mistaken. While walking by the fitting room I overheard the female employees discussing their herpes. I had to do a double take because I knew that's NOT what I heard. Nope. Herpes. Not even TRYING to be discreet. I shouldn't walk away knowing you didn't inquire the disease from 'suckin d' (her words) but it was passed down at birth. Whoever this employee is needs to go thru some customer service training course on what not to discuss around customers. Yet another reason why I steer clear of Walmart. :| read more

Walmart is dirty, messy, the employees are NOT helpful! The return lines are always busy and the employees are super slow. I hate when their self check lanes are ALL close, they only have 2 cashiers, you have to wait forever!!!! to check out. Most of their costumers look shady, rude, ghetto on welfare, I rather go to Target, less headaches and NO drama. read more

This is one of the worst Walmarts I've seen. The area around the Walmart is not the greatest so that explains the not so classy customers who go there. The shopping center across from this Walmart is a bit nicer for Merced. The inside of the store seems dirty and unorganized with a lingering smell of stale and old McDonald's food. This Walmart was remodeled last year, but I didn't see much improvement. I'd definitely go to Target or the Super Walmart in Atwater if you don't mind the drive. read more

This is the worst store I've ever been too, tried to buy a pool needed assistance from a worker with a push cart to load........ask 6 different employees for help 30 mins later I called the store & talked to a manager.......20 mins after speaking to a manager my girlfriend went & asked a 7th time for assistance......believe it or not we are still waiting for assistance........Now I know why I shop at Target. read more

Probably the worst Walmart in the valley. I only go early early morning so I can avoid the long checkout because there's only ever two cashiers. And if you go any time after ten expect screaming running children with no parents in sight. I adore the rude employees and the fact that the shelves are always empty of the one item I've come to get. I only go here as a last resort or when I'm totally broke. read more

Cannot accurately read an ad! Do not honor ad match! Extremely rude!! Will never shop Walmart!!

Dirty.. dirty dirty.... It's pretty bad in there... But I still shop here because it still has the best prices. But I do go to super Walmart in Atwater instead when I can. read more

This Walmart is ghetto! It's crowded with very long lines because it's the only place in MerDead to get everything at a low price. I usually park at the garden area and run in and sprint out!! read more
