I went to Walmart in Sanford last Monday, which was yesterday Aug. 3, 2026. I usually go to Walmart in Pittsboro/ Chapel Hill. As soon as I enter parking lot I got a terrible feeling by it being in an over crowded condition and parents pushing children in carts where you place food. I recalled Walmart in Salisbury last summer. I was shopping with my mother when I noticed poop smeared inside the cart we were using. Luckily, the items we had placed in the cart I had placed on the far end of the interior of the cart, where poop had not reached. I located someone who had on Walmart uniform and showed him the cart. He got me another cart asap. I moved items to the cleaner cart as I inspected each item to make sure I had not inadvertently touched the items into poop. I asked clerk what it was? He said it was either from a dog or a child. Then, I recalled a situation at that Walmart, where someone had used the floor as a toilet and had to step around it. Others had already run their carts over it and walked through it. I began thinking we are shopping in a store that sells food and feces decorations. Then, I recalled Walmart on edge of Chapel Hill/Pittsboro, where an off-duty teen employee was throwing and breaking bottles of beer in the parking lot just one space over from where I parked! Later, I noticed cars trying to pull into that spot and mothers with young children in sandals walking into that area. I got out of my car and stopped them just in time. It took managers 30 minutes to arrive, but police did arrive 20 minutes before Walmart employees who brought cleaning crew to collect the broken glass. One of the cleaners knew the girl who did this and the two teen boys who worked there identified her only after I reported it and were asked why they did not report it ASAP. They just said they had told her she should not be breaking unopened bottles of beer. That girl had a week prior thrown a large rock into the parking lot after a fight with her boyfriend. This same Walmart had the year before that an employee blowing his nose and stuffing his snot rag in his pocket and then picking up the bananas, apples, etc I was purchasing. I reported this later and sanitizer was added to each check out. Yesterday at the Sanford Walmart I was standing in line and got mostly vegetables and a few toiletries. The check out guy was wiping his nose and face with his hands and touching everything I was buying. There was no hand sanitizer. To make matters worse when I arrived back home I discovered that the entire zipped lock bag of cucumbers were slimy. Every freaking cucumber was rotting. Each are slimy. They are 49 minutes from my house. No one answers the phone. Walmart is a hell hole of thieves and germs! Shopping in any Walmart is a public health hazard. Because Co-Vid is no longer a concern for majority Walmart assumes you do not care if your carts are dirty and germy. When you are buying food you are also receiving e-book and other germs. I have a microscope and if I ever step foot into another Walmart I will be bringing a collection kit and looking at what I find under a microscope. The health department should be doing this. Walmart should be doing this Oh, I want to point out in the Sanford Walmart an African emigrant employee who pretended not to understand English touched my son's phone with her booger-snot fingers after digging into her nasel camels. Additionally, in the Salisbury Walmart, two hours from the Sanford Walmart was a South American emigrant who stood at the top of a ladder not responding to world around him. He was in a daze hunched over circling a string over his phone. I walked away and returned later and he was still doing this. I reported this but I have no idea if the situation was remedied. Lastly, yesterday when I was in line I noticed management had cash registers not in use as customers were forced into over sized lines taking up space with children and dogs. Lovely, they bring their poop in for you to buy with your bananas. An elderly woman took her cart and aligned it to my left. I was in front of her waiting already 20 minutes with the bag of packaged cucumbers that were labeled cucumbers and remember they were rotten and I could not discern this from the bag. The elderly woman was trying to push her cart to force me to allow her to squeeze over and get in frontbof me. I thought to myself, discard your cart and leave! But I stayed in the same spot and ignored the rude carnivore, the poopers innfrontbof me and finally, I am faced with the snot smearing employee touching my vegetables and adding his microbes to the veggies. How lovely! Walmart is a disgusting place. The nasty customers are much like the nasty employees. Parents go in and pretend Walmart is a nursery for monkeys and many have their children standing in the food carts with their feet to add their rotavirus to your daily drama. You will eat it from their food and wonder how in the H E double toothpicks you got that. read more

This store has steadily gone down in the past six months. Awful service, especially in the pickup grocery department. The food is missing or looks like it has been opened and sealed again, missing items and still charged for them, etc. read more

So this foolish woman greeter wouldn't let my daughter get a scooter for my wife who had walked in the other entrance. So my wife, struggling with her cane, had to drag herself all the way down to the other side to get a scooter and may have further damaged her knee and ankle. You're lucky I don't sue. read more

The fact that someone would deliver rotten apples is horrible, but why isn't someone in the produce section checking their produce? This was just delivered to me. I typically don't order fruit, but today I had somethings to do and did an order to be delivered! Never Again! Oh, and these are "Organic " apples. read more

See all

Update: it's been several months and sanford Walmart still has a limit of 15 items at all self check outs and self scan n gos. if you are going to do any shopping don't come here or at the least don't park on the grocery end, you will have to go to the pharmacy end to find a cashier to check you out. Good grief, don't you know I have so many Walmarts to choose from, I shan't be returning. PS shelves empty and store is dirty. read more

This Walmart on Horner in Sanford has to be the worst Walmart I've ever been in. The store has six self service check outs, three of them closed on busy days. I've seen back ups for regular checkouts just about every time I've been in there. This store is a mess. Needs new management. read more

Horrible Customer Service! First, they want you to check yourself out, and now you can not check yourself out. Only if you have 15 or fewer items... It is Saturday at 0952, and only 2 manned registers open. Don't waste your time going to Sanford Walmart. Horrible management. Hello Lidil, Aldi, Foodlion, and Amazon. read more

The store is not very friendly. This evening as I walk in two employees manning the door are talking and drop the F bomb. Really? Not what I would want kids to hear. read more

The walmart in sanford needs help on customer service! I try not to go into that place! It is always a mess and bad customer service! It took me 20 minutes to get out of self checkout today. Next time will go somewhere else. read more

The customer service is bad ! I went up to a girl named Lilly and she acted like I wasn't there and when she did she did me with an attitude

We have tried to use the pickup service several times. We live 30 min away from this Walmart but work close by. The scheduled pickups are delayed most of the time which we have to cancel the order instead of waiting. It would be different if they have you a new pickup time but it just says it's they will let you know the new time. Will not be ordering through this Walmart anymore. read more

I took the liberty of feeding the fish which were all obviously starving. It took me the better part of 15 minutes and no one came back to stop me so clearly no one at store gives a damn. Shameful. read more

Ordered a birthday cake for my grandson online. Order process was easy. got notification that my cake was being made. received notification that my cake was ready. cake was already paid for on line. went to the bakery department, no one was there. waited a few minutes and finally someone came by and asked if I had been helped. Gave her my name and she got the cake. I also had to get Ice cream for the party and walmart had a good price, so I got the ice cream and used self check out. I went to put my cake in the car to go home and noticed a great big hair in the frosting on my custom made cake. Took cake back into store. went back to bakery section. There was a man there that said sorry we don't have anyone available to redecorate a cake for you. You can take it to customer service and get a refund. Long line at customer service, meanwhile my ice cream is melting. Finally got to register at customer service, She tries to issue a credit, but said she can't find where I paid for it with the credit card that I used on line. Showed her on my app where it was paid for. Manager came out and said, process it without rcpt. So she proceeds to issue a walmart card. I told her I did not want a walmart card. I still had to buy a birthday cake for my grandson and I was not going to buy another one from this store. Had to wait for a manager again to get cash. Finally got my refund, but still had to leave ice cream in my hot car, while I went into Food Lion to purchase him a cake which was pre made and not at all what he was expecting. Will never use walmart bakery again. read more

The pharmacy drive thru takes FOREVER. and if you go inside the store, the pharm techs are very rude!!!!

Parking lot every single day is like driving through a mall parking lot on the weekend...it's awful. Horribly packed and it's a mad rush in there constantly. There's some pretty rude pharmacists too who work in the pharmacy too. Everything is always picked over too. read more

I always prefer to give a good review to a store or place of business. I just can't with this one. The majority of the employees are wonderful when dealing with them. The store is never stocked well and some items will be out for weeks before they are on the shelf again. Or they are just not putting enough of the items that sell well on the shelf and are running out as soon as they stock. I can't say. I just know that it doesn't matter what day of the week I shop, I will regularly find that several of the items on my list are not in stock. This is beyond frustrating. The other issue and if walmart or any other store thinks that by doing this they will sell more they are mistaken, but I hate when things move from one spot to another. Just as I get used to where to find something one time, they move it somewhere else the next week and I can't find it. It's hard to find employees to help as they are woefully understaffed. However the vendors that are stocking are constantly in the isles taking up a ton of space and always in front of where I need to get something. Often they are chatting and ignoring that someone is there. The pharmacy is a whole other issue. Not near enough employees for the amount of customers EVER. The line is always long, using the mobile app to pay ahead doesn't move things along any faster. Almost every time they say my prescription is ready I get there and it's not and then I have to either come back, sometimes twice or wait a long time for them to get it ready. Back to the rest of the store, the lines are always long for checkout, They need to have more manned cash registers. Lines should never be so long. Employees need to learn products better as many times I've asked where something is, they say oh we don't sell that and then I end up finding it myself after a bit of searching. The carts there are the worst I've ever seen. They are so in need of fixing it's idiotic. The wheels don't turn and pushing the cart around just wears your arms out. The store just needs better management. I never have these issues at other walmarts. If it wasn't so close I'd stop going there. read more

This Walmart is different from any other I been to. If u ask where somethings at they say yes mam and you're welcome. The store is well kept and the cashiers are nice. I like this is close to my home read more

The sales associates don't even know where things are.. They are very useless and stupid! They have the slowest cashier. In the money center they got people just standing around starring at you instead of working. I see to many associates talking instead of working or just standing there. Nobody ever ask if you need help finding things... I guess because nobody knows which isle the envelopes are in. read more

Worst. Customer service. EVER!! I like shopping in the store, but I refuse to go back to returns. One woman in particular always seems to be the only one who works there and she is absolutely dreadful! Slow as molasses - rude too! She shows obvious favoritism to people of her race by taking them ahead of cue. (Oh, let me just take the next two because they only have one item - [and they just happen to be black] yeah!) They can be backed up by seven or eight people and will open up another register for just one or two customers, then close up again. Expect to wait 10-15 minutes. A disgrace! What kind of manager tolerates this? I actually prefer to go into a rougher neighborhood where the service is better. I'll take my chances with crime before I come back here! read more
