how do I rate a Walmart Store. Pretty much the same everywhere, all the time . My complaint is that I need the use of their electric carts . I like to get out and shop by myself. I depend on those carts. Walmart is cheap with the number of working carts they provide. The store is always crowded so I KNOW they can afford food carts for Seniors and disabled people. my stores are the 31093 and 31088 area. read more

Two & a half (2 1/2) hour wait for an oil change. Only 1 person doing the work and a "safety person" required by osha. The "safety guy" out today. Anyone can be substituted for safety, because it doesn't take much to get help. Poor management read more

The dairy section looks like a BOMB went off in there. No assistance, the manager Johnny is rude and ineffectual. Terrible store. DO NOT SHOP HERE!! read more

Been to this location several times. Staff have always been friendly except for the other day. My 3 year old was in the shopping cart and he had a sanitary wipe in his hand and threw it down from the cart, it landed on the floor. Before I could pick it up Jennifer was scolding and scowling at him. My friend behind us greeted her which she didn't acknowledge and said she was particularly unpleasant. Maybe a bad day for her, but for Christ's sake, my kid's a 3 year old how about giving him a break? read more

If I could give this 0 stars, I would. Everytime I come in to buy beer for my boyfriend, they are out! How the heck is Modelo out every weekend?! I really want this store to be a one stop shop for me (to get my groceries etc.) but it seems like this is not the place. Come on Walmart, step it up with your Modelo orders! Hello Target! read more

Customer service just isn't there. Though we are dealing with a pandemic, having a nicer attitude is always appreciated.

5 Stars for the auto service center! TPMS sensor replaced for $28! That included diagnosing which tire sensor it was & relearning the sensors after. Big Brand Tires quoted me around $250 to do the same job. Great prices on all their auto services at Wal Mart. read more

Took my daughter more than hour returning something. Not waiting in line, but waiting for it to be properly returned. It takes 15 -30 min at a time to get the manager because they are under woefully under staffed and the cashier kept messing up and needing to call her 3 to 4 times. Understandably, my daughter was getting impatient and made her unhappiness known. No yelling but asked the manager not to leave again. The manager then told my daughter that SHE was doing my daughter a favor because the order was made on walmart.com. Really? It was a photo order specifically to that store for 1 photo (multiple configurations) which printed dark with a green tinge. And my daughter had the receipt. The online policy clearly states that the photos cannot be returned online and must be returned in the store. So what kind of favor was she doing exactly? Giving customer service for something that was completed wrong by her store is NOT a favor. Pretty sure its her job. I have to say...the service at this store has been getting nothing but worse. The cashier's are porrly trained and take forever. There mess up so often the need for the manager is required contantly. It takes the manager 15 - 20 minutes to arrive every time. The self service isles always needed corrected and no one wants to use them so the 3 open registers are packed. Honestly I only go when I need insulin from the pharmacy. And I can't buy needles for my insulin without a prescription so I end up going somewhere else for that. read more

We had 2 Walmarts but the better one closed. This one sucks . The selection is terrible , the store looks neglected and almost every time we have been there something Rings up at a higher price and has to be fixed which is a huge pain. This one should have been closed down , not the other location which was a pleasure and had a much better selection even though it was a smaller store read more

Typical Wal-Mart. Great prices, always packed with people and a full parking lot. This location has a McDonalds and an optomitrist. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. It's easy to see why all their employees are getting replaced by self checkout machines. They have more of a personality than the actual people. I needed to replace headlight bulbs. The price tag reflected another price than what was ringing out. Working in retail I can understand this happens. Customers move things around. This item had at least 5 of the same item on it and they would not honor it. The "Manager" if you can even call her that, said oh I'll call over there but it's more since their are two. Completely missing the point that it was their pricing error. I even offered to go take a picture of where I found it, but no that wouldn't make any difference apparently. What a joke. As a retail employee I understand the importance of shopping in an actual store, but in this case I think anything I ever need from Walmart I'll just go to amazon from now on. read more

Walmart is usually the best priced spot in town. Thia one is mostly clean un the isles and racks. Staff is helpful. Havent used their restrooms so cant comment in those. I've been to this walmart several times without any issues. Plenty of parking. During the pandemic when social distancing is enforced like it is supposed to be right now, this store has done nothing that I saw to follow the rules. Staff did wear masks, some wore gloves. I did not see hand sanitizer stations (idk if that is a rule or not) but the store was PACKED. Shoulder to shoulder just now. Everyone sharing the isles, close together, lines the same way. No sanitizing between customers. Honestly this isnt a big issue for me but if it is for you, stay away from here until after the holidays. Lol it was like "old times!" read more

Another example of a dirty disheveled retail store that makes no effort on the customer service front.

I was at this location a week ago to get some washer fluid for my vehicle since I had to prepare myself for a long drive. Store was clean, it was easy to find stuff necessarily. Wish this place sold trucker log books as well. Parking was great. Too bad the place had cops blocking all the exits for me to get out. read more

Terrible service!!! I asked for help and the worker clapped at me with her hands and said I'm on lunch ok! And I was in shock that she did that terrible service! read more

Great staff at this store! I had a myriad of technical problems in the self checkout lane (4/19/2019 3pm) including the register excepting but not deducting my valid coupon and the register getting stuck in a processing loop at the final stage of using auto pay through the Walmart app - But.. attendant Sarah at the self check out Area stuck with me and tried one thing after another until the problem was finally solved. Mind you none of this was her fault at all, it was a technical issue with the Walmart auto pay system and other automated systems, but despite that Sarah really stuck with it and worked with me for about 20 minutes until she finally solved the problems we were having caused by Walmarts corporate network infrastructure issues. Thanks Sarah!!! read more

I had a very specific purchase in mind that had to be made at Walmart. I was in search of the Virgin Mobile MiFi, and I had to buy at Walmart to get the special service pricing. Initially, I stopped at the Walmart in Oxnard since I was passing right by it. I'll just say here that they were less than helpful. The next closest store was Simi Valley. A bit out of my way, but as long as I was already on the road, I may as well just go for it. Glad I did. The sales clerk in the electronics section was great. I barely had a chance to wander around with that clueless look on my face as I tried to figure out where this gadget was when she approached me. I told her what I was looking for and she took me right to it, took it out of the case as soon as I said I wanted it and helped me with a pre-paid service card. All while fielding questions from her co-workers who appeared to go to her for all their questions as well. Quick check out with her and I was on my way. Incidentally, the MiFi works pretty darn well and the Walmart pricing option saves me $$, which I like. read more

I love Walmart but customer service is bad. Very bad. Sometimes I go to target and pay more for less just because walmart just doesn't care. I went to buy a type c hdmi cable and as I was looking for it an employee approached me very awkwardly and hovered over my every move. I told him what I was looking for and he said that doesn't exist, then said they don't carry it, then said I can only find online. Several stores carry it maybe they don't but why lie and make me feel stupid for asking. It's the Italian looking guy in electronics with his curly hair slicked back he really made my visit unpleasant. Tip from a regular customer here, don't ask the employees for help. It always leads to frustration read more

The consumer experience just keeps getting worse and worse here. Now all cosmetics are locked behind glass. You have to wait for a sales associate to come unlock the doors. Since I didn't know where the specific item I needed was (app just said F27) and I didn't have the item number, the associate was unwilling to help me find the makeup and told me I would have to call someone once I found it on my own. We had to have her called 3 times before she came back to the cosmetics area. She was extremely rude, was upset that I wanted to look at the lipstick shades up close before selecting which one, got even more upset when I read the information on the box for the concealer, and she just kept asking "are you done shopping?" I would much rather pay the extra $2 or $3 at Target so I can make sure I'm picking out the correct makeup and to not deal with the people that hate their job. read more

Today I went and all of the cosmetics are locked up behind a glass case. You have to push a button and wait for an employee to take their time, come unlock the cabinet for you and get out your item. What a total pain. I will not be going back. read more

Walmart - Restroom in Walmart Simi Valley - Department Stores Near Me - Simi Valley, California

The first time I came in for an oil change the service was great, given the long wait time the service was satisfactory, however returning this time for an oil change was not a good experience by any means. The express service staff today were not in control of anything I waited for 3 hours and got skipped twice before they took my car in. Even further the manager Veen, did not accept that they were making mistakes. He simply said he misread the list and no further customer service action or even an appology was given for time wasted. Restaff this department these guys are slow and Suck at this. read more

Worst Walmart ever!!! They got nothing in stock, staff ain't helpful. Cashiers are SLOWER than slower. These people are all over the place. They close earlier than the schedule says online, 930pm they were already closed. They gave me an excuse of a power outage when the whole store was completely lit and cash registers were on. read more

Had a bad experience just now. Beware... it's cheap but customer service is so bad... sorry it's the worst! Bought tires online at Walmart.com and asked them to put in. Made we wait fo 2 hours to just tell me they can't put it on since it's a low profile tire... what??? The worst part is the lady manager was not even apologetic and was giving me an attitude and gave me a reason how would she know? Duh! I bought tires from Walmart.com... from them... and the didn't check??? They are just doing there job. What a lame excuse... it a low profile tire from the beginning. If there machine can work on it I understand but don't waste 2 hours of my time editing for nothing. So beware!!! If you plan to waste your time for nothing then this a place to have your car service. read more

Wal-Mart is back on my boycott list. They have enjoyed a brief reprieve since I had a baby because they actually have some cute baby clothes and all their other baby stuff is cheaper than Target, but now I am totally done with them. I ordered one-hour photos online. I showed up about four hours later and my photo job was never sent. So I stood there for 20 minutes while pimply teen boy was on hold with the help line and was being chatted up by horsey teen girl. Eventually, he was helped and told me that they were resending my order and it would be ready in an hour, no sooner. I wasted about 40 minutes looking at Christmas sale stuff, then my baby was hungry and needed a change, so I made my way back to the front of the store and was surprised to find there was no changing station in the women's restroom. I asked the greeter about it and she directed me to some secret restroom in the very back of the store, so I made my way back there to find a restroom even more disgusting than the front restroom. Thank god for disposable changing pads. On my way back to the front (again), I decided to check on my photo order since it should have been ready in about ten minutes. Horsey teen girl told me that my order didn't go through again. I literally threw up my hands and said, "Forget it, I am done with Wal-Mart Photo." If I hadn't been with a friend, I would have abandoned my entire cart and left. I am so done with Wal-Mart. Update January 2008: I just got a call from Wal-Mart. "You have some photos that have been here since December 27th." Un-freaking-believable. read more

After buying a new set of nice rims online, I ordered tires from Walmart.com. When the tires were ready to pick up I brought the rims so they can be mounted. I was worried about leaving the brand new rims at the mercy of the auto dept. When I returned to pick up my wheels, they were perfect, no scratches or scuff marks. The most experienced tech had been assigned to mount my wheels. They read my mind, I'm very happy. read more

Complete jerks work here ! Do not go here. There are employees all over but lines have more than 5 in one check out line. When the 'manager' opens the line she says she will take me but it's sounds like a complete inconvenience! Well , all the people all over the floor, call them up for 2nd and 3rd check out people! What a waster of a store! If I could give no stars I would ! read more

The auto center is a joke. I took my VW Rabbit there for an oil change and new battery. They did the oil change and then said it was late and they were closing and did not have time to do the battery. They said to come back another day. I went back one week later and was told by two techs that they "don't work on Volkswagens" even though I had the receipt for the oil change that recommended a new battery. No kidding. read more

I'm downgrading this Walmart to one star. I've come in to check and see if a certain type of makeup I like (Flower Beauty) that is ONLY sold at Walmart has been in stock. I have been coming in for over two months to try and get two stupid makeup items in this line and they STILL have not restocked them. They haven't restocked the entire line at all. It's nearly empty and there are items in the displays that have been there for months, not moving. So, add EXCESSIVELY slow re-stocking times to the list of complaints about this location. The staff is nicer now (I haven't seen the racist witch that I encountered on one of my trips) but my god, STOCK YOUR SHELVES!!!! Also, the staff on the floor seems to just HATE answering customer questions with a vehement passion. I have had experiences here where a salesperson will see me trying to get their attention, then turn away, pretending that they never saw me. WTF? Who does that? I have also seen this issue in clothing, nail polish and electronic accessories. I just don't understand how a store this large can literally go months without re-stocking. read more

I always come here looking to get a couple of things but the last few times I've been here I've had to go to a different store because the items I need are only available online, or in a different, more costly format. The convenience of the location is definitely not worth having to visit a second store. read more

This is my favorite Walmart. It's well stocked, clean, and well organized. I beg to differ with those who don't like this place. This is where I get my oil changed sometimes and it's always quick and done well. read more

The employees are the absolute WORST here. I purchased a Christmas decoration item at the Porter Ranch location and found that the item was fairly large. The very next day I was in the area and wanted to exchange the item and I was met with nothing but hostility. I was told that my item was much less than the item was listed and to remove it from their counter because it wasn't going to happen. I paid full price and unfortunately didn't have the receipt, however it was just customer complaints after complaints. I spoke to Jeanette the supervisor who was RUDE and unprofessional. This store has to change from management to the way employees interact with customers. BY FAR THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD ANYWHERE!!! read more

Awful place. Worst store of all time. Just awful. So gross. Avoid at all costs. I always heard that Walmart was a joke. I never knew how bad it really was until I entered the parking lot. There was a family.....camping in their trunk. Right in the parking lot. So strange. I walk in there and shits everywhere. I would rather shop at barneys for a bottled water than ever enter this place. I couldn't tell who was an employee. There was a woman with a Walmart shirt, sleeping outside the restroom. The restrooms had bodily fluids sprayed on the walls. CLEAN THE DAM PLACE. I couldn't believe what I saw. I will never be back. read more

I have been to this store more than a few times. I have spent my fair share of time in customer service type jobs. I get that many employees are new and possibly even seasonal at this point, but I feel that a job should be taken seriously regardless of what it is. Today alone I encountered two very unprofessional employees. I don't say this as a complaint but more so as a reminder to train employees and monitor the new ones until they are trustworthy. 1. I stood and an isle and asked an employee if he could open a cabinet. I was ignored and he was about 5 feet away. I asked again and he turned and walked away. Another customer smirked and commented about him. I walked towards the employee understanding that he probably had earbuds in despite being on the floor stocking shelves. I was respectful and said, "Hi, could you open this for me?" His response, unmediated followed by replacing his earbuds was "I don't have the keys." I'm sure it's obvious that good customer service would be "I don't have the keys but let me grab someone to help you. 2. As I was checking out at self check out, there were two people working there. A woman was standing behind the counter with her cell phone in her hands and ear buds in. She was talking and it was obvious that it was a phone conversation and not that she was speaking to the other employee. Employees deserve breaks, but not while they at least appear to be in a place where they should be working. Phone conversations should not take place on duty and at your work station. Please speak to your employees and train them in respectful professional customer service. read more

I went and purchased a pay as you go phone,and I asked the assistant to let me know what card I need with the phone.He gave it to me and I left. I found out when I got home the car he sold me was not compatible with the phone he gave me,so I went on line and bought one from Walmart. So when I took the wrong one back for a refund,"Kathy" told me outright these are "not refundable" I said " He sold me the wrong one" She replied "You need to read the back of card when you buy it" In that case you're employee needs more training so that this doesn't happen again.She called over a manager and he said the same thing," not refundable" I said again " he sold me the wrong one"He mumbled something and she got 30 dollars out of register and 50 cents,said "HERE!" handed me the bills and then banged the fifty cents on the counter,that set me off. If you don't like people don't get into the customer service business.Hpw dare she treat me like that in front of everyone like I was scamming 30 dollars.Not to mention my time,driving back,standing in line,it wasn't the 30 dollars it was now the principal for treating me like a second class citizen,60 years old and I don't deserve to be treated like that.....I could buy her house and relatives houses in one payment,so treat people with respect,and dignity and next time maybe I'll be calm,I was taken aback by her behaviour.I had to leave the store pretty quick after that I was livid,and my wife suggested that we leave before it gets out of hand. We shall never return to Walmart after this.I'm not a child so don't speak to me like one it's infuriating.... read more

Purchased an robe from Walmart.com, through one of their third party Marketplace vendors. Specifically checked that I could return the item to the store if I didn't like it. When the item arrived, it came in a blue plaid instead of a solid blue. I printed out a store return receipt and took it to the store in Simi Valley. There, I was advised that they were not taking back clothes at that time because of COVID. I waited a few weeks and called them today(9/15) and was advised that they were now taking clothes returns. When I got to the store and showed them my store return receipt, they said I could not return that item to the store.. I informed them that I specifically purchased it because I could. The customer service supervisor, Cathy, sad too bad she can't do anythg about it. I asked for her name and she walked away. I asked her a second time and she refused to acknowledge me. The other employee was kind enough to give it to me.. I ended up calling up Walmart.com and got a very helpful representative named Juan. Much more pleasant to deal with. Cathy needs to take notes or receive some training from Juan. Cathy has no right being a supervisor. She is a Horrible representative for Walmart. Much rather go to Target even if you pay a little more, it is always worth it to get treated in a civil manner. I just read over a few of the other re Jews at the Simi Valley Walmart and saw that other customers also had a negative experience with Cathy. Walmart needs to give her another job or just fire her unhappy self.. read more
