Great deals!, Friendly employees. Easy location. Thumbs up!!!!!!!!! easy place to pick up and go.

I mostly stopped in because I wanted a wrist watch and some makeup. I was pleasantly surprised by the in-stock level at this location. As far as the watches go, the cheap wall (around 12$ each) was fully stocked but the pricier side only had around 5 options and 1 of each style. I found a Men's Timex Indiglo (I like big faces!) watch for less than 55$ that I absolutely love! Elf brand makeup used to be 3$ and on floor displays around Cosmetics, now it's 8$ and locked up. I don't understand why the watches are NOT locked up here but makeup is.... An employee came over quickly to help me with makeup and was very friendly. This store was not busy and the parking lot reflected that. Easy in, easy out. I recently shopped at Walmarts in every state on my road trip to the Midwest (northern route) and this location is by far the nicest I've ever been to. Overall, I am enjoying exploring my new stomping grounds of quirky Encinitas. I'll be back! Pros: - grocery and most aisles had excellent stock levels - huge store - lots of parking - friendly employees - fair pricing - hardly any classically defined "People of Walmart" here Cons: - the lamest things are locked up here; for a slightly better shopping experience, go to Target (but their stock levels are often poor!) read more

Located in Encinitas this Walmart is the nicest and cleanest Walmart I've been to. It is new and clean. I did self checkout so I can't speak for the service. This walmart is great! read more

It really sucks when there is only 1 handicap scooter in the entire store that is available.... And, it dies in the back of the store!,I will no longer be shopping in the Encinitas store.... This is actually the 2nd and/or 3rd time thar there are no handicap scooters, and they haven't been plugged in if there are any. No power and I have gotten stuck. ALSO, the new design for the store (clothing area especially) is so crammed in there now and, the scooter cannot get by.... The store was much better before it was remodeled.... Think I am done with Walmart.... read more

The most helpful staff I've ever encountered at a Walmart! Top tier customer service, thank you to everyone who helped me pick up my online order tonight even after pickup was closed. I had driven over 40 mins to get there so I really appreciate it! Yall are the best! read more

I had 15 itens in my cart, might have looked like a lot but it wasnt. They had 2 registers open on a Friday before Christmas. 2 ppl in self check out and 4 open at self check out. Nancy said im gonna have to send you to the lines if you have more than 15. I told her I didn't and the lines were long and only 2 registers opened but I did try there first. She said "well I don't care that's not my problem" sounds like Nancy is done working in customer service. You don't talk that way to people. It's not kind or respectful and I am super nice. Don't treat people badly, if you want to probably don't work at Walmart, it's a busy store. read more

Every pharmacy around was out of stock on my medication. I called this pharmacy and spoke to a very pleasant young woman, Leslie. She informed me that they have two in stock. I told her that I'm my way. When I got there, Craig helped me imput my information as I was a new client to them. He was very helpful and patient as I was trying to gather all the information needed from my insurance company. It took a long time for my doctors office to send my prescription. Then when they did, it was the wrong dose. So i was basically waiting for over 2 hours for my doctor's office to get it straight. The pharmacist was kind enough to help by placing calls to the doctor. In the end, Diana squared away all the issues and I got my medication. I will be moving my prescription to this pharmacy. Everyone was so nice, helpful, understanding and professional. I am so thankful for the pharmacist, Leslie, Craig and Diana. read more

Not liking the store since the changes . And for the love of God turn that music down . Locking everything up really is so irritating . read more

Shame on this super wealthy location looking like a bomb hit the restroom at 10:50pm on Sunday night. I called the San Diego Health Department and made a complaint due to unreasonable bathroom defects. This entire store is garbage. They hardly have any tools or and the cut fruit looks like it's a week old and leaking. They do not take any pride in their store. The older gentleman who "watches" the door is very selective who he greets and acknowledges. I get a Trump loving vibe in that store. Look who the management is. This location is super weak. They should close it. read more

I rarely ever go to Walmart due to its service, and once in a while I decide to out of need or maybe things have changed! Simple online return, turned into can't find it in the system even when I clearly receive an email confirming and the website confirm return. Person helping did her best, but after she called the supervisor the best she said was to contact help center Walmart service directly. Not even bothering to know the issue. Walmart system needs to step it up to catch up to this evolving world! read more

This location has absolutely thee worst layout of all the Walmarts in the county along with the worst Instacart orders that go out of it. Constantly out of stock of so many items. Sometimes I end up finding what I need on the riser because the lazy staff doesn't keep up with refilling the shelves. They also plug like crazy, which means putting an item in a spot where it doesn't go just to make things look full. I try to avoid going here as much as possible and so should you. read more

Encinitas CA Walmart Customer Service Desk The store is remodeling and the printer does not work. I am returning an item ordered online through a third party. It is usually a simple process. However, since the printer does not function, I have been sent on 3 wild goose chases Day 1 Our printer is broken, so we will email u a return label and u return. It yourself Day 2 Or contact seller and they will email u a return label Day 3 Call 1 800 walmart and they will send u a return label ALL INCORRECT After speaking to a very patient person at.1 800 walmart I found our that it is impossible for a customer to get a return label & was told to go to another store to do the return Why does Customer service not give out this information? How can u run a business w out a printer and expect customers to drive 29 miles to complete a return? Please answer this read more

When I need to find specific items, be it groceries, electronics, home items etc...the first place I think of is Walmart. The layout of the store makes it easy to navigate and I can usually find things quickly. The Walmart mobile app can help you find "in-store" items and you can use it to make contact free payments using Walmart Pay. I also use the mobile app to scan bar codes for current prices on items that I find in the store that don't have prices visible. If you wish to purchase items in advance on the app, you can request curbside pickup which I've done and it works very well. Yes...we have other department stores in the area and they all offer different sales, pricing etc..., but I always seem to return to Walmart for the rollback pricing and convenience that the mobile app provides. It makes my shopping experience so much easier. read more

Worst Walmart I think I have ever been dirty unkept and employees are not nice please close this store for good

Sade was INCREDIBLE! Never in my life did I think I would be giving a Walmart a five star review but this employee went above and beyond and made my experience incredible! She helped me through a complex return process and just after hours which would have made it so easy to just say "go away and come back later". As an employer myself I would hire someone like Sade in a heartbeat! Hopefully someone sees this at corporate and notices! read more

The bathroom are dirty I've been to other Walmart and this 1 by far is the dirtiest bathroom and another thing is that the people by self check out there really unhappy looks like there always angry and don't wanna help need to get better please step it up read more

I'm always looking for those great deals just walking from aisle to aisle.

Walmart Supercenter - Party time NOV2022 - Department Stores Near Me - Encinitas, California

I bought a Leggo Star Wars set online from this store because this store said they were the only one in all of San Diego and North County that had it left. I spent $46 on it as a Christmas gift. The next morning I get a text saying they made a mistake about not properly keeping track of their inventory and they are actually sold out. Now I have to wait 10 days for a refund to show up on my card. Irritating. read more

DO NOT buy the insurance for their products. If there is an issue they will tell you to take it up with the manufacturer so it's useless. Do not buy a Prettycare vacuum from Walmart. Mine suddenly stopped working right after the 90 day window and they won't replace it or refund me for it. Even worse the insurance said to go to the manufacturer so the insurance is useless. I contacted Walmart and they said sorry we can't help. Never shopping at Walmart again. Sticking with Amazon who has the best customer service. read more

Have you been to this dump lately? Half of their self check out don't work. Their workers take their time checking people out so the lines are atrocious. Never go here if you need to quickly get in and out. Also be careful of the check out people, when they ask for your receipt, be ready. They straight harass you if you don't have it. read more

I'd give today's experience a zero if I could...a few members of their staff was rude and unprofessional so I went to Target instead...we all have bad days but palm frawn eyelash girl is rude as can be and she needs to be retrained or fired tbh...if she can't be coached she needs to hit thr road... read more

Why would you put this man as a door greeter? I walked in and he just stared at me so I proceeded to greet him. Got this weird little feeling so I stayed in the area and he only greeted the non minorities. In this day and age go retrain this man please and don't have him as the first encounter people have when they come into this Walmart. Terrible service read more

I came here for a last minute item (around 8pm on Tuesday night) and couldn't find it for the life of me. The employee stocking shelves (older gentleman with glasses - I forgot to get his name) who was stocking in the plumbing fixtures section was extremely helpful and very courteous. He went out of his way to help me, and was very friendly, and knew exactly where the item was that I was looking for. Despite it being on the other side of the store. I wish I got his name, but hopefully based off of the information I provided you're able to narrow it down and recognize him for going above and beyond. read more

The folks who run the check outs are always super friendly and helpful when needed. They make shopping here a pleasure. There is one gal who works returns in the a.m. who openly disdains customers and customer service in general but is easily avoided. This review is a response to the new thing they started here: "Quiet Shopping Hours" 8am-10am...*five stars*! What a revelation. I noticed it after a few minutes and I really enjoyed the Q U I E T. Well done Encinitas Walmart, thank you. Clever idea, hopefully a trend read more

I like to go shopping at Walmart but they don't have the best selection of food. I don't like the 15 items limit for self check out. Some if the employees are not very nice one if them got get mad at my family when we have more items the 15 before they stared to enforce the 15 item rule. And the employees that do it don't always put ur food in bag most efficiently. read more

Recently with inflation we decided to try saving by going to Walmart. We've been able to save 50-60 dollars a week by switching from Amazon Fresh. Lately we've been lucky when there isn't long lines or it could be the new amazing staff! I appreciate every single one of the hard working people but I've got to say how much John stands out the most! I always notice him moving around and making sure customers are taken cared of. I also have to give a good word to Michael who really made us feel special during check out. He put a smile on all our faces. The mood at Walmart has really changed for me and appreciate the convenience of a great bargain for all our necessities. read more

Nice place! I recommend for people who are looking for a wide variety of items. The cashiers are kind, too! Dmitri was very helpful and a skilled cashier. read more

Walmart Supercenter - Outdoors - Department Stores Near Me - Encinitas, California

Lots of shoppers present but limited number of cash registers and manager declined to open more unmanned cash registers citing that central management would not allow them to open more registers. Lots of panhandlers in parking lot and there are always solicitors at the only entrance/exit. The greeters at the shop are unfriendly which is a rarity for most Walmarts. Furthermore despite the high dollar location, the parking lot feels unsafe. I would not let a loved one shop alone at this location. A security guard presence in the parking lot would be a good investment. Opening up more cash registers would be a seemingly reasonable solution. Staff would probably be more friendly if they did not have to deal with angry customers because of questionable management decisions. I have been going to this location for the past 5 years. It has really taken a downturn. Location at Kearny Mesa is further away, but it seems better managed. read more

I used their pickup (they deliver to your car) feature. It was only my second time to this location and I was very happy. there were a few odds and ends I had been looking for and Walmart was the only place I could find what I wanted (and specifically this location)... so I added other odds and ends into my cart to meet the minimum $ requirement for pickup. I could have picked up my order later that day, but no time at all...so I scheduled it for Saturday pickup (3 days later)... that morning I received an email that the order was behind schedule. no biggie..I didn't have anything to do that day anyways. about an hour later I received an alert that my order was ready. I went there and parked in a designated spot....clicked "I'm Here" and waited. they had signs asking customers to remain in their cars. when looking around...almost every car had the people waiting outside and w/o masks..ugh. lame peeps. my order came out and I had my back window open for them to put it in the backseat (since I have a teeny tiny car w/o a significant trunk). they still walked to the "trunk" area. I called out and asked for backseat and they kindly did so. AFTER they left, I got out and double checked the contents of my order. All there! I will definitely use this feature again....makes shopping so nice! I wish I could do this at Costco read more

Stopping here today to pick up a few things reminded me why I avoid shopping at this Walmart. It is no Super Center. The store is disorganized and messy. There's a sampling of items in many departments rather than full Walmart stock. Restrooms aren't welcoming. There's plenty of parking. read more

It's your basic Walmart. Sometimes you can find good deals, sometimes things break easily or clothes rip quicker, but it's a convenient store. read more

I used to live near a Super Target when I lived further north, so I used to live there, or so it seems. Targets by my house are limited so I decided to check out this Walmart and I was not disappointed. It's like a Super Walmart with a broad selection of groceries, produce, shoes, apparel for kids, sports gears and equipment, it's like a grocery store, REI, and Target in one. I was really impressed. The organic selection of produce isn't huge but it's really reasonable. The bike selections were a lot bigger than most places, so of course my kids got new bikes. I think I'll have to come back here for the kayaks. read more

Look if you're coming here it's for the prices. They know that. They are the DMV of retailers so they don't care if you come or not. I ordered a Christmas tree and they couldn't find it. There unfortunately wasn't a good way to check in the status online as the system wasn't working so I called. I called seven times, yes seven, and no one answered. Honestly I kinda respect that. They know who they are and they don't care about customers at all. The associates who work get paid either way whether you get your stuff or not, and answering the phone would only be another thing they have to do. I haven't shopped at a Walmart in years and now I remember why. read more

I refuse to shop and do their job by using self checkout. We are doing their work so they don't have to pay more employees. So many people giving the billionaires more money in their pockets, when they employ less people and raise the prices. They only have one lane open so expect a long wait it. read more

There's a worker by the name of Ada there who's been there since the pandemic. She was extremely rude then and unfortunately that hasn't changed. I went recently to checkout the store as it's been a while since I went. I was in the book section with my sister when she stood super close to us for minutes on end staring us down as if we were going to steal something. She's not friendly at all and had awful customer service. Unfortunate to know that a worker with such a poor attitude would still be working there after so many years. read more

If I could give this location zero stars for customer service I would. It's 4:17pm with 3 cashiers open. I mean come on. There's only so many of us that can do self check out which ISNT MY JOB.

I'm from NY and am not afraid to let it fly. I hope y'all have a GREAT DAY working for peanuts!!! read more
