I doubt anyone at Wal-Mart is interested in this review based on the current number of stars. But for all of the potential customers, I guess I will add this bad review to the rest of the batch.
I was just there on Monday afternoon. I got a few things and when it was time to check out, I noticed that there were more than plenty self check out registers available near the entrance closest to the Philly Cheesesteak restaurant. I don't work there, they are not offering discounts, so I pressed on looking for a shortish line with a human employee. I saw two open lines and one potentially open line. The first two lines were longer than I appreciated and the potentially open line had only one customer and no light welcoming more so I just kept it pushing. After reaching the other end of the store and seeing way too many more self check outs, I made a U turn with my cart and conceded to wait in one of the long lines. I considered getting into the potential line but figured the lady, Charisse, I'm quite sure is what her name tag said, was not taking anymore customers. So I waiting in the longish line behind a diligent young lady who had more customers than you could shake a stick at waiting patiently for their turn. As Charisse, the cashier on the same aisle (register #2 I'm sure it was), finished her lone customer, I imagine someone either inquired or she beckoned for someone to come her way because suddenly there was a bunch of chatter in my line and people began heading her way. I joined the exodus and took my place in Charisse's line.
A few long minutes later when it was almost my turn, there was an entire repeat of what I just experienced. People who were in line waiting on the cashier who should get a raise, someone asked if Charisse was accepting new customers. I did the right thing and I asked Charisse she said yes. So I told the person who asked. Then I asked Charisse if her light was working and she told me yes but she doesn't want it to work. I repeated that too, to the person who had taken their place in line behind me. Charisse did not bother to turn her light on and I really felt sorry for the other cashier who cared enough to do most of the work while Charisse half-you know what-ed through her shift. That's right....pass your neglect of job duty on to the customers and make their wait longer than it should be. So there's that.
Next, I am not sure who has the job of keeping the belt clean at the registers. I don't know if it is the person who is working the register or there is someone who comes around and sprays and wipes. What I recall seeing in the past, is the person who is working the register grab a spray bottle and a roll of paper towels and clean up spills, wet spots, etc. Anyway, the belt at Charisse's register was disgusting. I took pictures. With all of the different viruses going around, we can't afford to be negligent and allow bacteria to grow right before our eyes.
In addition to the gross conveyor belt, I noticed several buckets placed around the store catching water falling from the ceiling.
Finally, don't bother ordering online and picking up from this store. No organization whatsoever. It's a free for all. No need to act civilized and call the number on the sign or use the app to check in. You basically have to get out of your car and nag or pay someone to assist you. If you want to order online and pick up, do that at the Wal-Mart on Veteran's. They are only professionals when it comes to that. I've tried them all and that is the only place I will go for that.
This place got one star because of the wonderful cashier who was actually working and had a pleasant countenance the entire time. Oh and because I couldn't give zero. read more
