Though Walmart is a huge chain which oftentimes disappoints the average shopper, i feel the urge to give credit to their Vision Center. Though tricare members aren't offered any sort of discounts for the purchase of glasses/contact lenses. Their buy 1, get 1 50% off is a great deal. Also, i would strongly recommend taking advantage of their policy of replacement of scratched/broken glasses for school/age students. They have replaced my daughter's glasses promptly and always with a smile on their faces. I have chosen their 79$ lenses option (antiscratch and progressive, which made my daughter's glasses double as some pretty awesome sunglasses). They range from fairly inexpensive frames to the pricey and fashionable ones. The glasses were ready in less than 10 days and they called for pick-up. No 5 star because they don't offer discounts - advantages to tricare (aka military health care) members. But, their prices aee competitive anyways. read more

I have tried to talk to the pharmacy at least 5 times, and every time the system hangs up on me. Also, I've been told that at first my prescriptions would be ready the next day. I called to check and was told now that it would be the next day. When I asked the system to talk to a pharmacist to see what the problem was, it has hung up on me every time! I'm switching pharmacies!!! read more

Online pick up. I checked in online and my husband, waited. 22 minutes. I called and they were very rude and they told me that they didn't receive the check and it would be another 20 minutes. I said no it can't be 20 minutes my husband's in the parking lot. Finally, after 50 minutes, we got our order and the Walmart customer service told me they would give me $25. I told them they lost a customer forever. read more

Walmart is about to lose my business. You find a price on the app and then drive ALL the way across town to buy it. You get there and that price is online only. The $24 price is $35 in the store. Forget that! read more

Walmart Supercenter - Did you know Walmart had frog legs? - Department Stores Near Me - Abilene, Texas

I went to the deli to get some meat sliced at the Walmart on Southwest, and the lady named Dawn was extremely rude. she at first said she was busy and then when she finally came over she was hollering at me from behind the counter. Dawn shouldn't be in food service is she is bitter and don't want to serve. read more

Closing all lanes to force people to use the self checkout. While standing here several managers and employees saunter by. It seems the are trying to force us to let them fire all cashiers. I have heard of multiple people being charged with shoplifting weeks after using a self check out. So until I get new employee orientation I'm not using it. A mistake that would get a new employee retraining might get me jail time! We didn't burn down your store in 2020 don't burn us now.....do better. read more

Walmart Supercenter - Single line at a Super Walmart in Abilene Texas. - Department Stores Near Me - Abilene, Texas

I went to the automotive division at Walmart to get my battery changed. When I checked in, the lady was super friendly and asked about my car and what I needed done. I was told it would probably be an hour and that they had my battery in stock. My son and I shopped around for a while, checked out, and then went to the automotive area to wait. While waiting, Terry, the employee who was working on my car, tried to come through the door but it wouldn't open. He banged on it a few times and once it was opened, he angrily said, "I'm going to shoot that door." He then threw up his hands and stalked over to the counter to forcefully flip through a book. The older lady in the waiting room with us even said, "Wow, he is not very happy." Terry went back outside after looking at the book and later returned to ask, "Who owns the Jeep?" I told him that it was mine and he angrily demanded, "If you want a battery you need to remove your car seat because I am not doing that." I told him that it was not a problem and that the only thing I knew about cars was that they needed gas and keys so I apologized because I didn't know the battery would be under my back seat. I went to the back, took out my car seat, then continued to wait in the waiting room. Terry later came back in and told me that my battery "wouldn't fit" so he put in a smaller battery. I asked him if it would still work since it supposed to have a bigger battery (that was already installed previously and was needed to be changed out) and he told me "It has a four-year warranty and it fit so bring it back if anything happens." His attitude and demeanor were angry, dismissive, and sullen. I told him, "I am sorry you are having a bad day." Terry responded with, "I wasn't having a bad day until I started working on YOUR CAR." As noted by the capital letters, Terry began raising his voice at me and taking out his frustration at his obvious shortcomings at work on me simply because he was unable to complete an appropriate task for his position, such as changing a car battery. Once my car was finally finished, I went to put my car seat back inside and my after-market floor mat was thrown onto the other side of the seat, and nothing was put back into place inside my car. I have always gotten my work done at the Dodge Dealership prior to this and they've always put things back the way they found them, so I was appalled to see the state of disarray that my vehicle was left in. The older lady that was working in the front section of the auto department was very nice and helpful, but Terry made my experience awful and has successfully deterred me from ever giving Walmart my business again. At this point, I still don't know if I have the correct battery in my car or if it will continue working or leave me stranded somewhere. I tried calling the store the next day to speak to a manager and was left on hold or hung up on three different times before I was able to get ahold of someone who then encouraged me to write a review on my appalling experience. The lady whom I spoke with was very apologetic and told me to expect a call from the automotive department manager. It has been over 24 hours, and I have yet to receive a call from anyone at Walmart. read more

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT buy anything from the electronics department at this store! If for some reason you have to return the item you will be lucky to get it done. I have been trying to return a phone for 6 days now, have asked to speak to the store manager multiple times only to be passed off to someone else and still not resolved. At one point I was on hold for an hour and a half before hanging up and calling back! read more

I ordered grocery pick up like I usually do for pick up at 5 o clock! I pull in at 5 to receive a notification it's delayed! I called and they said they were backed up it would be a few minutes. Ok I waited 30 minutes called again they said they had people coming from 9 am orders. This is where it got me. Because they were 8 hours late picking there stuff up and I was on time I was told to wait? What is the point of setting a time for grocery pick up if you're able to show up when you want to? I had my disabled child in the car or else I would have just gone in to get my things. I will not be using Walmart pick up again. Just wanted to let people know that this was unfair and wanted to make people aware when you choose a time for pick up make sure you go within your time or reschedule it's not fair to those of us that are on time! read more

This place is a complete cluster flop. From from understaffed floor help that is at best, apathetic to the fact that products are misplaced and stock counts that at best are wild guesses. I've been standing here waiting for almost a half hour waiting on a person to return from the back. Merchandise litters the floor and if I had any common sense I'd be headed to the door but am determined to see it through to the bitter end and see how long it takes for him to come back empty handed and shrug. read more

I've been in line with Wayne for an hour now and there was only two people in front of us with not that much stuff. i understand he's been here for 25 years but he messed up our transaction and had to rescan everything again after waiting for 45 minutes which added another 20 minutes. I have never in my life dealt with such a slow cashier sometimes it's good to let people go after a certain point if they're not as capable. AT THE LEAST don't make him the ONLY cashier available read more

Not sure what is going on with this location. Seems like for the past year or so, they have gone downhill. The isles are always cluttered; employees are constantly stocking the shelves, but yet the shelves are empty. Huge holes where (of course) the items I came for should be. I don't know how many times I have had to settle on a different item or just not get it there. They had to put plants on sale in the garden area because they were all dying from lack of water. I have heard multiple times from employees talking together as I walked by about how far behind they are stocking the shelves. Also, customers asking for product and being told "we have been out of that for weeks". I was shocked to see that the rating for this location was higher than the 351 location too. I don't know...maybe they need to hire more people or get a different manager. read more

Absolutely no selection in deli, employees were not very helpful, & buy paper goods from Dollar General instead...way cheaper! read more

Walmart Supercenter - Wal-Mart Super Center (Southwest) - Department Stores Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Workers at Southwest Drive mostly the cashier leader needs to learn her job. The store doesn't follow corporate policies at all. The other 2 stores in town are awesome. Southwest drive worst walmart in the chain. read more

Came here couldn't find help at all, the store looked pretty dirty. When I finally did find an associate they were extremely rude. I'm not one to expect a lot however when you work At a place of retail you should provide customer service to someone who asked a question. At least point me in the right direction or find out as opposed to just saying I don't know. read more

This Walmart has horrible customer service compared to 351 Walmart . Even though more convenient, will not return. I am older and have been left in parking lot twice lifting two buggies with large, heavy items and employees just look at me and once refused to help. Was talked to badly this week for going over barrier to get to bathroom. Reorganization in store this week had customers talking out loud about how chaotic and disorganized the reorganization of store is..employees seemed overworked and not appreciated.. take a look at management issues... just to know I am a Walmart advocate - family lives in Bentonville, Arkansas read more

I purchased two batteries today, paid for recycle fee and core charge. When I picked up my batteries I had my two old batteries with me to get my core charge back. Manager refused because I used "curbside pickup". Was very rude and did not give a ****. From now on I wont give a **** either, about Walmart. Isnt this stealing? read more

I ordered groceries at 9:30am to pick up at 4:00pm. they emailed me at 3:58pm and said it was ready for pick up. i got there and made the call that i was there at 4:06pm. i sat there, waiting for the groceries for an hour. i called twice while waiting, they said the groceries would be right out. i didn't get the groceries until 5:20pm. i understand that it gets a little busy at that time, because everyone is getting groceries after picking up their kids. but the fact that other cars got there after I did and left before i did, felt a little ridiculous. i've never had any problems with the pickup option before, besides a 45 minute wait last time. read more

Had two new tires installed and balanced at the Auto Center. Prices were excellent! Service was fast and professional!! read more

I don't like this store at all. I dropped a prescription off then shopped for 30 minutes. I pushed my cart to the side for less than five minutes to go pick up my prescription and an employee took my cart and put everything back. She said her manager told her to do it. How stupid. Huge waste of time. I doubt I'll ever go back. read more

I had a awesome experience at Walmart today on Southwest I tried the check in drive up the cashier that helped me his name was Luke and he handed me a card that said he was my personal shopper which I thought was pretty cool I went there earlier who pick up my stuff and I went too early and the reception has been was really rude but it changed my opinion when I dealt with Luke I hope these actually get to the employee so that they can see how good of a job they're doing thank you read more

My latest visit was to the Vision Center. Optician was very helpful and explained all charges to make sure they would fit my budget. Also explained part of my prescription and called my doctor to make an adjustment which would be better. Doctor agreed with his recommendation so now I have optimum prescription. Cannot say enough good things about their service and prices. read more

A blight on the American way of life and the American worker. Never anyone to help customers, they rely hugely on local police for security unlike other retailers, and put a huge financial burden on these departments, and the vast majority of employees are on government assistance. The profits are in the billions every year, and they could easily afford to pay reasonable wages, provide full time jobs, and offer health insurance. The prices are low, but often, so is the quality. Don't buy electronics here. Ever. read more

Five stars for the Pharmacy! All the staff, from the techs to the cashiers to the pharmacists are always so helpful. I don't expect personal service from a retail chain, but I always get it at the pharmacy. We are cash pay for our prescriptions and they always go above and beyond to help us be good stewards of our money. I so appreciate their knowledge, understanding and willingness to serve! read more

Pharmacy employees are always nice. After she did a double take at the price of one RX, and I said I have to have it so ring me up, she actually apologized at the mfg's greed. It's nice to be able to pay for the other items in my basket at the same time. read more

Southside Walmart seems bigger and has a wider variety of stuff but is also consistently out of a lot of items. Northside may not have as much variety but at least has stuff in stock. read more

Bad customer service the prices are stupid and they refuse to help find items all the time

I went in for one item, Midol. Generally it would be in pain medicine section. There were several items sold out in this section, but still no place for midol. After asking where I could find it, the pharmacy sent me to first aid section. Yet again, I found several open spaces of sold out product. And no space for midol. Besides the pharmacy, no other staff was around to help. read more

I went shopping here with my 2 daughters. We bought them some cute summer outfits and some groceries. We went to self checkout and rung up all of our items then loaded up our car and headed home. When i unloaded everything as soon as i got home i noticed i was missing the bags with my girls clothes in it. I immediately called the store hoping maybe it was still there but knowing there's a chance it wouldnt be since i did use self check out. She went to check and found the bags and told me that she would put it behind the customer service desk with my name on it. I told her i would be in the following day to pick it up. Well life happened and some inconveniences happened and i wasnt able to make it back till today. I went to customer service and explained the situation and they said they have no idea what i'm talking about and that they didn't have my stuff. The customer service and this store suck!!! I am very disappointed in the walmart 535!!! I don't understand how the bag that was supposed to be waiting for me with my name on it just disappeared!? read more

I have had Thomas load my groceries for several visits through the online pickup service. He is very friendly and professional. Also, when I tried to give him a tip- he declined it asked that I donate any gratuity to Children's Miracle Network. And anytime I shop inside the store- employees are all very nice and helpful. Good people read more

I work nights. I get off at 6am and went to purchase 3 T-shirts. I realized I had 3 shirts with pockets and needed ones without. I decided to go ahead and exchange since I caught this mistake inside store still. Cashier said they don't do returns until 7am. It is 6:35am. I live out of town. I just kept the shirts. Sucks that I know have to wake myself during day just to make an exchange in town. So after this I will no longer be going to this store. I will drive to Northside Walmart. read more

It used to be a nice-ish place to shop but it sure has gone down hill. They are always out fo stock on things now. Their variety has gone way down. The "was" and "is now" prices = down right lies!! I shopped there every day - the strawberries were ALWAYS $1 until they went up to $1.49 with a "was" price of $1.78 - total lie!!!!!! Shop too early - everything is out of stock. shop late the stockers act like you are inconveniencing them and they put up walls you have to navigate around just to shop to pay their salaries!!! I frequently pass them horsing around, flirting, goofing off, even tossing groceries at each other! I used to shop there every day for my cafe but have gravitated towards United now. The professionalism and the respect United shows their customers is worth the extra price. Plus I feel dirty when I shop at walmart - like I should be ashamed for supporting this big inhuman, faceless, money monger. I shop United, HEB, and the natural food center, and vitamins plus now! read more

The pharmacist was super nice. He stopped me from buying the wrong over the counter medication. I followed his advice and by the end of the day felt much better. When I checked out the cashier was friendly. I like than they can talk and ring my things up without holding me up. read more

Zero stars if I could. I walk in with my brother that is barely 18 that was getting cigarettes im 24. They ask for both ID's when I have my own seperate stuff that I am getting. Also I have a big wad of snuff in my mouth already. I didn't have my id on me which was in the car and I wasn't going to walk all the way out to get it. I can understand if I am not getting anything and I am with the person. But to ask for both ID's and make us make another stop for cigs just made you lose my business for good, too high on prices anyways. Use to could walk in and get groceries for two weeks for 150. Now can barely get a weeks worth for 200. read more
