Depends on the location of the Walmart. The SC store in high class Los Colinas is poorly stocked 9/10th of the time, while the other SC just 10 miles down the road in middle class Grapvine is cleaner and ALWAYS stocked plus the employees are friendlier and helpful. The Walmart on Midway in Dallas is Spanish only but is well stocked and the employees are helpful.
The Walmart on Forest is DREADFUL.
The employees and customers openly curse and are rude to the each other.... but it just seems normal to them in that part of town. Cell phone talk by employees is everywhere. When you ask for help it’s like “Can’t you see I’m busy and on break”? The local customers are LOUD and rude. I’ve seen them dump merchandise on the floor and just leave it there to go talk on the cell phone. The lines are long and people actually block the main thoroughfare in front of the check out lines trying to prevent the line from being broken by people walking though. The parking lot is race track and ear splitting music is played from guys just waiting in cars for their current girlfriends to finish shopping.
I agree that the quality of the stores, clientele and employees varies from location to location. ...Having been born and raised in Dallas, I understand exactly the situation you described regarding the store on Forest in South Dallas.
I actually live in Grapevine, Dallas59, but “my” W-M store is located in Euless on 121 at Cheek-Sparger. The store opened as a Super Center about 10 years ago and I shop there about twice a week. It is always well stocked, very clean and has plenty of open check-outs without long lines. Most of the full time employees have been there for many years and, based on my conversations with them, they are very pleased with their non-union wages and health care coverage. The employees are very friendly, usually smiling and very helpful to anyone asking questions (such as how to prepare some strange looking vegetable). ....The parking lot is always clean and there are plenty of guys that retrieve the carts from the various places in the parking area. ........Location, location, location!
