I had a terrible experience with their grocery pick up service my review is solely based on that. I was there on a Sunday night, my pick up time was scheduled between 5-6pm. I was there roughly around 5:50pm. To begin, all the pick up parking slots were taken, that wasn't the issue, that just comes with the territory. I waited for about 15 min before a slot became available. One hour passed by and no grocery's yet, then 2 hours and still nothing. Around this time people started crowding at the door from where the associates come out from from what I assume to demand answers or demand for their grocery's. I was in slot number 1 so I could hear everything they were saying. Most of the people inquiring were post-mates drivers who had also been waiting I heard someone say he'd been waiting there for 4 hours, 4 hours! I would understand his frustration. The associate then began to take their names down to help them in that order. At this point he took about 7 persons name down. Some of those people had only be waiting half hour or so, from what I heard. In an effort to find some clarity I also came out of my car to give them my name. The associate told the person before me that he was helping those people out first before helping everyone else. So in a way he was not helping people by the order they came instead rather than in the order he took names down from the people applying pressure. That didn't seem fair at all. Some us had been waiting beyond the time than some of those people, but since we are encouraged to stay in our cars I tried to do just that. What is the point of their system, to check in find a slot and wait in your car, if they're just going to help anyone who starts knocking on their door.
The associate helping us told us that it would be another 20-25min before we could get helped. At this point what's another 25 min? So I decided to wait. It was already 8pm by this time. Another hour went by and by this time there hadn't been an associate come out the door anymore. People were still knocking on their door and no response. I called the store and called different departments and no answer what so ever. It was so frustrating to say the least.
I had my 1 year old daughter in the car with me and for the parents out there you know it's not easy to keep a one year old happy.
I placed this order two days prior to my pick up, what's the point? All post mates orders were prioritized. And some how their system failed miserably. I buy grocery's on sundays to be prepared for a busy chaotic work week and I'm just so disappointed with how they treated all this. Now Monday morning. I've been calling Walmart for an hour and I get no answer from any department or any associate.
I have placed a pick up order with Ralph's now. Sure more pricy but it's worth it since I'm not getting the run around I got from Walmart. read more
