Get card machines that work! This Walmart just replaced a bunch of their machines and got new cards readers. I went to self checkout today and had to insert my card about 8 times and then swipe it which didn't work (it's a brand new card btw). The gentleman next to me was having the same issue and was getting angry off too. He was saying he'd never had that issue anywhere else. If it was just me and my bank I wouldn't care, but it's multiple people and many banks. Now that they have got new card readers it seems to be worse and more frequent now.This isn't a new thing either, I've been shamed by an employee for not "having enough money" but when I went outside my account had more than enough money to pay for my bill. Do better Walmart, you guys have got enough money to do so. read more

Great store, I like it better than the other Walmart in Salem. I was able to find most of everything I needed. The man that helped me at the self checkout was helpful but not very friendly. It's cleaner and I feel safer at this location than the other one. read more

Went here today to see if I could find cases of my favorite energy drink and find out if they were less expensive than at my local grocery store. I don't think they carry it, but I'm not sure. I couldn't find it on my own. So I went up to an employee stocking shelves in the grocery section. Walked right up to him, looked right at him and in very clear English and in a loud enough voice that he should have had no trouble hearing me with my mask on, asked him if they carried the item I was looking for. He literally pretended I didn't exist, said nothing, wouldn't even look at me. I actually walked around to the other side of him, specifically to make sure he was not wearing hearing aids, or ear buds. He wasn't. This is a clear example of typical Walmart customer service, and the reason why most people hate shopping there. To shed an even more ridiculous light on this whole situation, Walmart actually pays better than most employers in that particular industry, so these employees really have no excuse for being so terrible at their jobs. read more

Walmart is Walmart. There's things they will just never get right. But I don't understand why they have 1 person at the customer service counter and 3 people standing around at self check out. I'm assuming they just don't hire managers at Walmarts anymore. read more

I bought four chairs from Walmart cost over $400 four seats arrived without legs without legs. It's been months now I still can't get them to give me the 16 legs I still have four big dining room seats without legs I don't know what the hell to do now but I'm not giving up!!!! I had planned on returning them however the 68 year old lady could not get those big dining seats back into the two boxes. Does anybody know where I can go to get satisfaction or at least 16 legs for four chairs???? Thank you I'm at my wits end. read more

Easy and convenient. The employees are super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The shopping customers are always a great dose of entertainment at this location (really any location) read more

Slightly sub-par Walmart compared to most. Had a mediocre experience on a recent visit. The food section lacked some of the basics that I was looking for and the bathrooms were being renovated so you have to use the facilities at the far back of the store. I wasn't terribly impressed. read more

Pure optical department does a great job but a wonderful compare glasses at a very reasonable price I can't complain they do a nice job read more

Today, just a few hours ago, I went in their to purchase a 30-06 to begin my hunting career, but they where all stored in the back. I said I would wait as the guy brang them out 1 by 1. I then asked the guy if I could take a picture of them to compare them once I had seen them all, as they where just brought out 1 at a time. He said that was fine and I did so, and on the second rifle I asked again and he said it was okay, and then immediately after said I broke a rule, accused me of wanting to sell guns to a third party because I was taking pictures, and said walmart would now not sell to me. This was one of the most absurd things ive ever seen in my life, he lied to me and tricked me, so i thought I should talk to a manager and surely they would clear this up. The assistant manager who showed up had no idea how the rule worked and just backed that lying employee. This was beyond ridiculous read more

Thank you Wal Mart for keeping all the self check lanes closed while your ONE available cashier is off making small talk with a NON customer as she watches PAYING customers lining up waiting for her. read more

The manager in the vision center is the worst. They broke my frames, promised to replace them, then denied they broke them and wouldn't replace my frames! Will never go back! Dishonest! read more

Great smaller Wal-Mart located on Commercial just off of Kuebler in South Salem. When you need something but don't want to drive across town to the other Wal-Marts or Target, this one should be just fine. I've always had good luck finding most of what I need non-food wise at this location, and I've found some of their prices to be a few cents cheaper than the other Wal-Marts. It does have a few aisles of groceries now so you can pick up that gallon of milk or carton of eggs. The checkout lines can get long during the day but at night I've always been able to whiz in and out without a wait. And I've always been able to get close parking. This is a good thing when the rain is pounding outside and I need to make the mad dash back to my car. :) NOTE: This Wal-Mart is NOT 24 hours. They close at midnight. And they DO want ya out of there BY midnight. read more

This is the best Walmart in the world. If you're in a hurry. People are friendly here and is not dark as other Walmarts tend to be. I wish their ammo selection was a little larger. But for what its worth. Great store read more

Never have enough workers at check out or customer service. Time for Walmart to step up and have workers concentrate on customer service instead of stocking shelves and doing nothing. Its ridiculous! read more

My mom and i bought 12 drinking glasses yesterday. We were worried about them breaking. Sandy, our cashier wrapped them one by one in paper and found a box that looked as though it was made just for them. The glasses are a birthday present for my sister. The box fits so well that all we have to do is wrap it. Thank you sandy for your help. She was kind and helpful. One of the few i saw with a genuine smile. Great service!! read more

Paint department in this store sucks. Out of the paint and tint that I needed. Poor selection of paint. Will not shop there again.

I will not be going back to this store again. This Wal-Mart has turned into the north Salem store. I went there looking for a 3.00 dollar light bulb for my truck. Everything is behind locked glass and you have to ask for someone. It's turned into a trashy place where everyone is a thief. I understand locking up stuff that is really expensive but for a cheap light bulb? Give me a break. I would rather pay more money some place else and be treated better than deal with them. I bought a 25.00 dollar keyboard and it wasn't locked up. No more Salem Wal-Mart for me. read more

Today my nephew purchased a net spend prepaid Visa card. He is a minor and so therefore can not activate it. I called the store and was directed to an associate by the name of Brook she was incredibly helpful, and kind on the phone. She gave me the number to call. I was able to get my nephew his Refund through net-spend. My nephew stupidly bought the card but it was nice to have someone knowledgeable enough about the process to help me correct his mistake. read more

Quick, friendly employees at both the scan and go and regular check out. Clean bathrooms. Has a subway in it.

This review is specific to the cosmetic section: I used to shop here a lot, but no more. I don't like that if I go for a bottle of nail polish (or whatever) I am forced to stop and buy it on the spot, never mind that I am shopping for other things in the store and will go through the main check stand later. It's very inconvenient, causes a ridiculous bottleneck, and demeans and insults customers. Even the clerk on duty acts as though the process is awkward - it is! I get that the store has a shoplifter problem - the only possible explanation for this new way of doing things - but to treat EVERYONE like a crook is wrong. Put in security cameras, or hire more human beings to keep an eye on inventory, but don't treat all customers as if we are criminals. read more

Walmart.com sucks!! Bought brand new toy ATV for a lot of money. It came and didn't work. They hassled me and gave me numerous stories about how to return it. Finally got it returned and they kept a huge restocking fee and shipping too! Highway robbery! read more

if you're pregnant and need to pee, but the bathrooms are being cleaned and you ask if you can pop in real quick... be prepared to be told "no" and to wait til he's done. i still can't believe he told me to wait!? i was on that borderline of peeing my pants since i drove from north salem and told him i was pregnant. obviously that's not a concern of whoever the old man cleaning the bathroom was. made me furious! read more

The worst Walmart ever. Always disorganized, feels dirty and the pharmacy crew seems to always look at me like I'm an idiot even tho they CONSTANTLY lose my prescription. The vet will fax over the prescription for my pup and they always tell me to come pick up the hard copy b/c Walmart always will claim to have not received it. I do my best to never go in this place unless required. read more

Fast, friendly, and clean. But wish it was a Superstore and that their employees would smile more.

Not a good Walmart. Go to the one on Turner Road. The selection at this store is limited (not a Supercenter) and overall its a scary store. read more

I can't stand Walmart but if you must go to one in Salem, this is the best one, as far as I'm concerned. I had to go pick something up last week and I was able to get in and out within 5 minutes and I didn't even know where the item was. I wouldn't dare intrust Walmart with their food so I don't know about the grocery dept. but this store isn't usually as crowded as the other ones in town and its a bit smaller, but it still has a pretty good selection. I'm just not a really big fan of Wally World but if I have to suffer, I'll go here. read more

I get great service every time I am here. I come for food, clothes and other things. Its great for almost anything. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., d.b.a. Walmart /wlmrt/, is an American multinational retail corporation that operates a chain of hypermarkets, discount department stores and grocery stores. Headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas, United States, the company was founded by Sam Walton in 1962 and incorporated on October 31, 1969. As of September 30, 2015, it has a total of 11,526 stores in 28 countries, under a total of 65 banners.[7] The company operates under the Walmart name in the United States and Canada. It operates as Walmart de México y Centroamérica in Mexico, as Asda in the United Kingdom, as Seiyu in Japan, and as Best Price in India. It has wholly owned operations in Argentina, Brazil, and Canada. It also owns and operates the Sam's Club retail warehouses.[1][8] Walmart is the world's largest company by revenue, according to the Fortune Global 500 list in 2014, as well as the biggest private employer in the world with 2.2 million employees.[who?] Walmart is a family-owned business, as the company is controlled by the Walton family. Sam Walton's heirs own over 50 percent of Walmart through their holding company, Walton Enterprises, and through their individual holdings.[9] It is also one of the world's most valuable companies by market value,[10] and is also the largest grocery retailer in the U.S. In 2009, it generated 51 percent of its US$258 billion (equivalent to $285 billion in 2015) sales in the U.S. from its grocery business.[11] The company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1972. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the company rose from a regional to a national giant. By 1988, Walmart was the most profitable retailer in the U.S.[12] and by October 1989, it had become the largest in terms of revenue.[13] Geographically limited to the South and lower Midwest up to the mid 1980s, by the early 1990s the company's presence spanned from coast to coast -- Sam's Club opened in New Jersey in November 1989 and the first California outlet opened in Lancaster in July 1990. A Walmart in York, Pennsylvania opened in October 1990, bringing the main store to the Northeast.[14] Walmart's investments outside North America have seen mixed results: its operations in the United Kingdom, South America, and China are highly successful, whereas ventures in Germany and South Korea failed. Walmart's reputation is for "low prices", compared with Target's for selling "cheap chic" and Costco's for offering low-price, limited-selection "retail treasure hunts", where "one's shopping cart could contain a $50,000 diamond ring resting on top of a 64-ounce vat of mayonnaise".[15] History Main article: History of Walmart Early years (1945-1969) Sam Walton's original Walton's Five and Dime store in Bentonville, Arkansas now serving as the Walmart Visitor Center In 1945, a businessman and former J. C. Penney employee, Sam Walton, purchased a branch of the Ben Franklin Stores from the Butler Brothers.[16] His primary focus was on selling products at low prices to get higher-volume sales at a lower profit margin, portraying it as a crusade for the consumer. He experienced setbacks, because the lease price and branch purchase were unusually high, but he was able to find lower-cost suppliers than those used by other stores. He passed on the savings in the product pricing. In October 2005, Walmart announced several environmental measures to increase energy efficiency. The primary goals included spending $500 million (equivalent to $606 million in 2015) a year to increase fuel efficiency in Walmart's truck fleet by 25 percent over three years and double it within ten, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent in seven years, reduce energy use at stores by 30 percent, and cut solid waste from U.S. stores and Sam's Clubs by 25 percent in three years. CEO Lee Scott said that Walmart's goal was to be a "good steward for the environment" and ultimately use only renewable energy sources and produce zero waste.[44] The company also designed three new experimental stores with wind turbines, photovoltaic solar panels, biofuel-capable boilers, water-cooled refrigerators, and xeriscape gardens.[45] Despite much criticism of its environmental record, Walmart took a few steps in what some viewed as a positive direction, which included becoming the biggest seller of organic milk and the biggest buyer of organic cotton in the world, as well as reducing packaging and energy costs.[46] Walmart also spent nearly a year working with outside consultants to discover the company's total environmental impact and find areas for improvement. read more

I hate Walmart. However, the service and other customers made this a somewhat pleasant experience. I usually go to be one on Lancaster (yuck), and thought I'd try grocery shopping at this one to give me a break from the experience I usually have. Customers at the Lancaster location are the rudest you will find. The food selection is not good. It's small. If it were better, I would drive a long way to shop here. People actually said "excuse me, please and thank you" here! Mind blowing! And the checker was really cool and sweet. read more

I came here for pads left with a broken heart! Ok I went to get some new candles for my new craft room they were all out of lilac scented so I went to the manager he yelled at me and declared it " not his problem" geez so rude anyway I found one it was in a cheep bin all good read more

Last week I went into Walmart to do a little shopping and came out about 30 min later to find my car was gone!! I thought it had been stolen then I found out that Retreiver Towing took it. I was not in a handicap, loading zone or blocking anything or any one. It took half a day and almost $500 to get it back. Retreiver Towing said they are authorized to tow any car there they feel is parked wrong. When I went back to Walmart later that day an employee of Walmart was in tears because her car had been hauled off too while she was working. This is wrong to treat paying customers and employees like this! IM done shopping at Walmart and I tell everyone about how I was treated while shopping there. read more

Other than a friendly Sikh checker, the store is a wash. The floor clerks are ignorant.. Store is inconveniently laid out. The store is fairly clean, but that's about all. read more

I don't make a lot of money $200,00 a year so I shop here because I have kids I was treated badly and the manager wouldn't even talk to me I will shop any Walmart ever again read more

I really endorse this store for those of you who like the small store feel. Who like to feel like they are important to all the associates that work here cause they will go out of their way to make sure that you get the help you need, if they can't help you they will find someone who can. If its a certain product you are looking for and they don't have it they will find a store that does even if its not a Walmart. The associates are always charming and smiling, they greet all that they come across, ask if they can help or just how your doing. They try to make sure that you don't stand in long lines and that your experience is a nice one and that you leave feeling like you really did matter to them all. Like you would like to return to the store in the future. I was very happy with my first experience at this store and have continually gone back there through the years. I have never had a bad experience with the store or the people that work there. I think the worst thing I have experienced is a bit of a wait at checkout cause it was very busy,yet the cashier was still cheerful and polite to me and made me feel like she truly regretted that I had to wait a bit. So I recommend this store to all that would rather have a smaller store experience then the supercenters can give,not that they are bad, just to big for me. read more
