Good Gravy!! Words can't really express the experience this Walmart will slap in your face like a cold, dead fish.
I absolutely detest this location. The parking lot is like the day before Christmas at a mall, no matter when you go. The aisles are immensely claustrophobic and the sea of ghetto people, ugly, ignorant immigrants and terrible, terrible faux-hawks is STAGGERING!!! These people would had been eradicated ages ago if it were up to natural selection.
Be prepared to go on a wild goose hunt for items on your list. The merchandising is in complete disarray and took me four laps around the pharmacy area to find the shampoo I needed because there are different shampoo brands scattered around the 8 aisles, including four endcaps.
So why the extra star? I know there have been complaints about the employees, but I have to say, they're really a mixed bag. The women at the Returns/Customer Service area are about as useful as a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. Every time I've had to return something, there's usually an employee at the end of the counter conversing very loudly with a friend. I don't know what it is with ghetto people, but they have no reservations blasting their personal business for a whole store to hear. The other woman never seems to know how the register works. With that being said, the majority of the other employees that work there have been nothing but kind and helpful, despite the clientele they have to deal with, hence the extra star.
I've worked at the Old Navy by the Old Orchard shopping center in Skokie, so I have had a taste of the people that shop here. Being a resident of Skokie, I seriously don't know where these people are coming from, because none of my neighbors are this rude and ignorant.
It's not so much the store that's the problem, it's the people that shop there. Examples:
1. Women dragging their screaming, undisciplined brats across the aisles with complete disregard to anyone else in the store. If I had anticipated all the halflings crashing into my balls, I would had brought my sports cup.
2.Eastern European woman barreling down a congested aisle, with a shopping cart, without even an "excuse me" and bruising my wrist in the process. If she wasn't going as fast as she was, she would had certainly got a punch in the neck.
3. Two obese cows hovering over the Customer Service employee, having a conversation, whilst said employee is asking them questions to process a check they were trying to cash. Hello?! Open up a frickin' bank account!!
4. Picking through a $5 DVD bin, minding my own business, and having a horde of low-lifes descend on me and start rifling through everything in front of me. I honestly don't know what it is about seeing someone examining something that makes people flock to you like a swarm of flies to a dead horse's ass. The same thing happened when I was trying to pick out deodorant. I mean, seriously, do all you A-holes need to bump into me to get the stick of Mitchum I'm reaching for in an otherwise well-stocked shelf?
So, it's not so much the employees, but the clientele that makes this a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad Walmart. I've been to the one in Streamwood (since my partner lives out there) numerous times and have never had a bad experience. Well, except for maybe the bad haircuts that are worthy of the Walmartians webpage. But being an immigrant myself, these people need to learn some effing English and manners before they decide to interact with the general public. It's enough to make me wanna punch a baby. read more
