This place is by far the worst place to shop in Palatine. I agree with the majority of reviews - the customer service is the worst and the pricing is constantly off. Unfortunately, due to the poor customer service, they couldn't care less if their pricing is off and they have to call in the troops if you want them to figure it out. I have bought things that were on clearance one day, I'll go back after a day or two to grab a couple more and they are full price again. My aunt was trying to buy something on clearance and it rang up the clearance price, but the cashier started arguing with her that she couldn't have it for that price - the manager had to finally come over and tell the cashier to sell it to her. If I use coupons, I almost always get hassled and need a manager - none of the coupons seem to just scan anymore - they have to review almost all of them and enter them manually. Which takes forever because if you get too good of a deal, the cashiers will argue with you - even though you are right. I've also had multiple experiences where I needed help loading stuff and was left to do it on my own. This happened on my most recent trip there and is what caused me to write this review. I'm always told someone will be there to help, but no one ever comes or they are helping someone else. If that is the case, I have to wait 20 mins or more in the parking lot for someone to finally make time to help me. Who has time for that? So, in order for me and this Walmart to get along, I can only see you like family I don't like - just when I have to. And I'm NEVER EVER going to buy anything there that I can't carry myself! Everything else I can buy online or from Target. read more

Poor customer service at the CUSTOMER SERVICE section. There was a line of about five people and the clock hits 4 and instead of staying an extra five minutes the lady just says "oh you should call back up." Never seen anybody so eager to leave.. read more

I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews. I quite like this Walmart. I make it one of my mandatory stops when I'm in the burbs! It just seems newer, cleaner and more organized than some of the other locations. Plus, Walmart has come a loooooong way as far as fashion is concerned. I'm quite the Frugal Fashionista -and I've recently picked up some really cute finds on the cheap! Miley Cyrus has teamed up with Max Azria and has a whole line of ballet flats, cute T-shirts and really inexpensive accessories. Overall, they have some cute basics and really low priced swim suits. Plus, it's Walmart -you can get all your cosmetics, household items -they have everything. Plus, it's right by some good restaurants (Baja Fresh, Sushi Station) so I usually make a fun shopping day out of visiting there! read more

This store cannot be beat for convenience and proximity to major roads. They even have a decent grocery section although it is not a super/ 24-hour location. Very friendly cashiers and managers. read more

Called automotive, waited 20 min on hold listening pathetic dipressive music, could not wait any longer hang up

I've been to many Walmarts in the US and this one has to be one of the worst. Store is old and dated. Merchandising is disorganized. I recently saw a supervisor snapping at all his employees in front of customers. Took me 10 minutes to find someone to get the pictures I had printed and then he couldn't find my pictures because he couldn't remember how to spell my name after repeated reminders. I'd rather go across the street to the Target and pay a little more then subject myself or family to this place. read more

I have waited for more than 15 minutes to be assisted in the paint department. I have contacted 3 different employees and 3 announcements were made. Nobody showed up. The service quality here is below standart. read more

Harassed today for potentially stealing kitty litter, here's an idea maby if you actually checked out customers instead of standing around talking to each other you wouldn't have to worry about if someone paid for something or not. read more

I don't care what Walmart it is. They won't stop sending these interruptive ads. It is horrible and I will not shop at Walmart because if these. read more

The most worst Walmart ever, the store itself is very dirty and just has a bad vibe to it. Once when i was waiting to get checked out at the garden center cashiers i told a woman if she could get someone she said she would i waited there for 20 min and decided to go to the normal registers where i was told that i had to go back and they told me once again that they would get/page someone for me i stood there for at least 30 min and then decided to leave the stuff and go home. Now i only come if it's my last option, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE read more

Walmart in general are horrible..they dont ship on the day they say they will ship...they ship items broken and make you pay double price because they will say item is no longer in stock. I will pay more money elsewhere just for better service. We are all just a number to them....next.... read more

It's Walmart!!! Can't beat the prices, we all know that! Yes, the whole store and lot could use a make over, but will it happen "No"! Look u want discounted products at a convenient location, your gonna have to sacrifice something. People want to be carried across rose pedals for the price of being dragged across jagged rocks. It's Walmart, don't expect much more then get in, get what u need, get out... type of shopping! read more

Really shady customers. I felt very unsafe and was desperate to get out. I spotted no less than 3 police cars patrolling outside. With the loss of whole foods, this neighborhood has really gone downhill. Avoid! read more

They are always out of the powerade zero! Cat food is so un organized.. the bath sponges are miss placed and are randomly put in areas of the store.. some cashier sneezed all over his hads and continued to scan my items. Freakin gross. I hateeee this walmart. read more

They remodeled recenly and expanded the food area, but compressed the other areas. The aisles are narrower and sometimes difficult to navigate. This store has 15 possible checkout registers, but I have never seen more than four cashiers at any time. Even before Christmas. The last time I was there, there were no baskets available, and the remaining carts were tied together or stuck together. The rest were in the parking lot. A lot of items on the shelf have no corresponding price label (or a wrong label). read more

They stayed open after a shot and bleeding out dude was hurled from a moving car. Got a Muse cd from the $5 bin though so thats cool.

I changed insurance companies to get a better price & now I have to use the Walmart pharmacy. I have only had to use it twice, but both times I had bad experiences. They ranged from telling me my Medicare number wouldn't work (I wasted several hours on the phone with Medicare & Social Secuity, only to go back to Walmart & find that the employee had entered an incorrect number into their computer. Then they wanted me to sign a release form that was in Spanish because she couldn't find an English form. Today I tried to pick up a prescription my doctor had called in & was told they didn't have it. (Found out they did have the prescription, they had not filled it yet,) I asked to speak to the pharmacy manager, but she just didn't care. I hope not to need them much before I can change my insurance program! read more

I went in for a few items, one of those being a compact umbrella. It was on clearance for 5$ & so I figured why not? Near me the weather has been unpredictable. There were 2 left & I grabbed the better of the two. Needless to say the one I grabbed had no price tag. At the register I inform Fe (the cashier) that the umbrella is marked as 5$ clearance. She then says 'This is a good umbrella, it is not 5$ it's probably 10$' So I respond by telling her where I got it & let her know there is another just like it MARKED 5$. She then goes to get it, but brings back a different umbrella. Same brand just different style. This one is marked for 10. I tell Fe that the umbrella she brought is not the same. She assures me because it's the same brand it's the same price. She cuts me off when I try to rebuttle by saying 'should I bring my manager to tell you?? It's 10! You want it?' At this point I am super frustrated. This was suppose to be a quick stop for 5 items! I have her get her manager while I go get the umbrella I know is marked. When I get back her manager starts telling me that the umbrella (she thinks I want, the black one) is 10 because it's a 2016 new edition. I try to explain to her calmly that I don't want the black one that I brought the blue one. She won't hear me she's yelling at me now that I'm holding up the line & that she doesn't have time for this. That she can't have a line for one person. While Fe the cashier is telling me 'if you saw this one had a price why you no bring the one with price' I tell her that I brought the one I thought was best for me. Remind her that I'm the customer and I get to choose which one I prefer. I even point out where in the seam the other umbrella is ripping. She won't hear it. She begins to say I'm being rude & disrespectful. That I should tell her manager 'thank you' for matching the price. I'm so beyond offended with this horrific display of customer service that I begin to tell them how ridiculous this whole thing is. Tell them that they did me no favors because I'm still only buying my item for what it is marked & not a reduced price like they make it seem. I ask the manager for her name (Pharneet) & she responds with 'you don't mention Fe, only me' I remind her again that they are both involved in my negative experience & that I will be contacting corporate. Not only were they horribly rude too me, but they also embarrassed me infront of the ppl behind me. By telling them 'I'm sorry for this' & pointing at me! My GOD I always knew walmart had shitty service.. from the asiles to the registers. I didn't care because I get what I need, pay & leave. I've never had something like this happen. read more

Walmart - Misty harbor fresh teal. Fe brought a misty harbor sport. - Grocery Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

Is it just me or is this one of the grubbiest, grimiest Wal-Marts that I've ever been to? Oh Wal-Mart, how you've let yourself go. Went in today, and the floors are filthy through the whole place, piles of crap in the aisles, shelves are generally messy and disorganized. A couple of years ago when the economy tanked they did a decent job of uncluttering the store and culling the extra piles of merchandise, but holy crap it is back now and in full force. And the parking lot was even really bad with slop everywhere, compared to nearly everywhere else that has been able to deal with this crazy Chicago winter. All that, and the prices I saw for ordinary goods were not all that great. They're competitive but not the lowest prices I've seen for stuff. It looks like they might be emphasizing the grocery store stuff and just not bothering with the rest of the place. Someone needs to get in here and crack the whip and get the place cleaned up. Either get people to step it up and do some work, or get more people on the clock just so they can maintain the place. When the economy turns around people will be ditching this place as fast as possible and upgrading to Target. read more

This location *DISCONTINUED* their practice of "bring your own oil changes". What this means: standard oil change costs around$25-$30 with STANDARD OIL. Depending on where you go, a FULL-SYNTHETIC oil change costs you $50-$95. If you were to purchase an oil filter & Full-Synthetic oil @ Walmart, it'll cost you about $30-$40, add on the $10 oil change price that they USE TO charge & BAM! you're getting a Full-Synthetic oil change for HALF the cost! Now, they charge you $49.95 for the Full-Synthetic Oil Change! Absurd! This is how you lose customers! Do yourself a favor, if you read this before you head to the Palatine Walmart, for a Full-Synthetic Oil Change, BUY your oil & filter & head down the road to Duke of Oil, they'll charge you $21, but you can bring your own oil & filter & save $30! Walmart was built on BASIC services like the bring your own oil change... Smh read more

Vision Center run by incompetent morons. Took time off work and wasted gas getting here for an appt because the person who set my appt over the phone failed to give me important insurance info over the phone, and I was told I had to pay full cost upfront because "the other Dr. was in today," which means nothing to me. So mad!! read more

I'd rather pay the shipping fees than deal with their incompetent employees at the site to store desk. I've gone at least 3 times in the past couple of months and each time I go, I have to stand there and wait. When I find an employee, they tell me they are short-handed and that I just have to wait. The last time I went, I was 8 months pregnant and really did not want to wait. However, if you want your item you have no other choice. 3 times was too many though. I will just pay the shipping fee next time because all that wait time and rude customer service just isn't worth a couple bucks in savings. read more

went in here looking for household items. had a lot more than intended. One of the sales associates Francisco noticed me and told me to continue shopping and he will be right back. He literally ran to the front of the store, got me a shopping cart and helped me load it. I thanked him, he told me his name and here I am writing about it. Thanks Francisco for going above and beyond my expectations of a Walmart. read more

The worst Walmart I have ever been In!!!!!!!! First off everything is just thrown in aisles. No order at all. Adults are not marked or they are marked wrong. I walked up to an employee and asked where the frozen broccoli was. She looked at me very puzzled so I asked again and she said they don't sell that there. After 10 min of walking up and down the aisles I found it. I ended up leaving and not buying anything and driving down the road to target. read more

This is the closest Walmart to my house, but unfortunately the worst one in the area. Very unorganized and unclean. It is a smaller Walmart and never has enough registers open. read more

This is, by far, the worst Walmart in which I have had the displeasure of visiting. It's dirty and disorganized. The store smells horrible. The evil stank of whatever the folks in the Subway are cooking doesn't help either. Even though this is the closest Walmart to my house, I go to the Lake Zurich store just to avoid this hell hole. read more

Young guy of Asian/Hispanic descent at the auto counter is a pathological liar. He tries to upsell everyone there on air filter changes and fuel injection cleaning. He talked me into getting the fuel injection cleaning until the guy who was installing my new tires (Sean) informed me that this was unnecessary and that my engine was running perfectly. The guy at the counter had told me earlier that he had walked by the car and smelled gas, which I know was a lie when he admitted later that he had never seen the car. It didn't sound right anyway, since I park the car in a garage every night anyway and would've smelled any leak of that kind. When I told the counter guy I didn't want the fuel injection cleaning, he told me the other guy was "bluffing." Really? Why would he do that? The kicker: as I was leaving I asked about the store warranty. He told me that there wasn't one (even though the receipt and Walmart.com clearly indicate there is one) and once again tried to upsell me on a road hazard warranty. This guy obviously is under some sort of incentive to sell every add on he possibly can. At least my tire guy was honest, and he seems to have done a good job installing my tires. Update: It turns out that all four tires were mounted incorrectly (they have asymmetrical tread, so one side needs to face inward). They managed to get this wrong on all four tires, despite the fact that there's a 50/50 chance of getting it right. And the left rear tire was leaking badly since the rim wasn't cleaned properly when mounting the tires. It took a trip to the Waukegan Walmart to fix these issues, and another trip there a couple days later to fix another leak in the same left rear tire when a leak developed at the valve stem. Since the valve stems are installed when the tires are, the stem may not have been installed properly to begin with. I should've gone to Waukegan to begin with. The palatine store couldn't be much worse. read more

This walmart is not customer friendly. If you have to go to the service desk im sorry. They will not call for back up even if there is a line of 10 people. They are very bad at pricing at this store and even when the entire shelf is wrong they will make you feel like you are a low life who switched the prices themselves. Its sad that this store exists with such horrible management at the helm . read more

Let me start by saying, thank you to the women of customer service today for eventually realizing that the guy had no idea what he was doing and taking such good care of us after dealing with this guy. I bought a pair of the clip on sunglasses from the vision center a few weeks ago. The lady that helped me was phenomenal and took the clip ons out of the packaging to make sure they fit. She even was nice enough to dispose of the garbage for me. About two weeks later the sunglasses broke. So today I went in to exchange them, with my receipt in hand. The vision center was unable to complete the transaction so I was sent to customer service to make the exchange. The guy, Doug, was ridiculous. He informed me that I couldn't make the exchange without the packaging, which I never had due to the fact that the vision center threw it away the day I bought the clip ons. I tried to explain this to him. He said the exchange was still not possible. I tried to explain to him that they were broken as it had only been a couple weeks. He said no. I tried to say that I didn't want any money back I simply wanted a new pair. He refused. My wife Peg asked him, " So what is he supposed to do? Keep a broken pair of sunglasses and pay for another pair simply because he doesn't have the garbage they were packaged in in the first place?" He said yes. I looked to the customer service representative as she had overheard my wife and asked her if I could exchange them, something Doug should have done himself. The woman said absolutely and proceeded to exchange the glasses for us. I've worked in retail and customer service my whole life, selling women's shoes. I suggest you train Doug on proper procedures and to ask for a second opinion before he repeatedly tells a customer he can't do something that could obviously be done. read more

When I came here, the staff was friendly and the prices were reasonable (even lower than reasonable in most cases!) I gave this place a bad review though, because after I left I got this weird pain in... I don't want to in say my heart... ...in my soul? It hurt a lot, and once the pain faded to a dull throbbing I just felt sorta empty and lonely and no matter how many showers I took or how much I cried this feeling wouldn't go away. So that was really weird. read more

I refuse to go to this store anymore. Its run down, unorganized, dirty, like a warehouse on the inside, and the staff is not friendly at all. I would rather drive to the Lake Zurich Wal-Mart or the "bullseye store" down the street for a much cleaner and pleasant shopping experience. read more

Biggest Walmart in IL that I've been to. Theres way too many people on the weekend but def worth going if your near the area.

I went back to this Walmart when Rand Rd got torn up with construction and I couldn't run to the Lake Zurich Walmart like I usually do. I figured, "How bad could this place still be?" I had sworn off of it a cpuple of years ago when I discovered the LZ Walmart. That's a mistake I vow I will never ever make again. The store is filthy, the aisles are narrow, the staff is WORSE than they used to be, and the clientele has gone DOWNHILL! Frankly, when 3/4 of the police blotter column in the newspaper features incidents at that store every week, its some kind of sign from above. I'd rather get up at 2 AM to avoid the traffic on Rand and shop at the Walmart in Lake Zurich. Taxes are cheaper too! read more

Love this place everytime I come to visit my mum, I always stop by this place to grab something before heading back to chicago.

I wish I could give this location zero stars because of their pharmacy ALONE. I always give them plenty of time, I mean hours, to fill a prescription. I kindly ask them to have it ready by the time I get off work. Every time, without question, my prescriptions are NEVER ready! They've then told me twenty minutes so I milled around the store. Nearly a half hour later, and you guessed it!, still not ready. Absolutely terrible customer service in their pharmacy department. read more

I am in shocked at this Walmart! This Walmart is conveniently across the street from me but will drive to a different Walmart for now on! I bought a cart full of groceries and they had no check out people, no lanes open only self-serve! I asked why and the employees said that everyone's hours got cut so now u have to scan yourself! If I had my 3 year old with me I wouldn't have been able to do it and I would have left! I'm never shopping here again! read more

Terrible place, just came right now with my wife to get some modelos "alcohol", and other stuff, my wife left her purse in the car because I'm and the one who was gonna paid. And the lady said she cannot sell us the alcohol because she did have her ID or purse with her. That was so rude from those woman's. read more

How many times I went. I never get all the items, , I hate to go this walmart, ,, staff very rude,, never get

I know Customer Service at Walmart is like prices at Walmart. LOW! But the Palatine location is the worst. I called customer service and was put on hold AND hung up on 4 times before I finally got to the department I needed to get to. I get it, most Walmart shoppers are trash like me, but I'm still a loyal patron and should not be treated like trash. It's no wonder Employees are being replaced my self checkouts. read more
