I went to Walmart today to get a new outfit and makeup for my mother's funeral. I got to makeup isle since I have allergies and sensitive skin I was looking at ingredients then out of the corner of my eye seen the general manager peeking around the corner then when I looked up he disappeared so I just thought he was just looking for another employee. Then I saw him again then again he made me feel creeped out I wasn't finished looking for what I needed so I just grabbed the rest of the makeup on my list I had without looking at ingredients and left make-up area. I didn't do anything wrong. I'm in here all the time never had any issues so I went and got my husband in sporting goods and finished up our shopping. We to go check out apparently he was watching us check out on a Ipad. When we got out to the car he told me he was watching us the entire time through the whole store in my opinion that's harassment .I get home and realize I bought some wrong items that I need to exchange them but I don't want to go back I felt so uncomfortable. I'll be buying my clothes and makeup elsewhere from now on. So if this happens to you make sure to take out your phone and record it. That's harassment
In summary: Walmart is making it difficult for people to access birth control.
The condoms are in a locked display case, though they are not expensive. Anyway I thought I would only need to ask the nearest employee and they would unlock the case. No, the employee I found told another employee, and neither one acted like they cared much, but they did say something about someone else meeting me there. So I go back to the case but no one comes. So I went back and they said something about not having the key to the case, and I could ask someone at checkout. So I went to the checkout area and asked. She said she had to page the manager and that he would meet me at the case. So I went back to the case again and finally saw the manager approaching from across the store somewhere. He opened the case, and told me he had to escort me to the checkout. What, seriously?! It's just a box of condoms! Because I had more shopping to do, he brought it to the checkout himself and told me which lane to go to. Then when I checked out I had to ask that clerk for the box of condoms.
Buying a box of condoms should not be like purchasing expensive jewelry. In order to purchase the box of condoms, I had to tell five different store employees. This makes it even harder for people to get contraceptives, particularly groups like teens who may not be comfortable with discussing it so much and being escorted to checkout. I suspect this may be less about preventing theft and more about restricting access to birth control.
Employees were really friendly and that's a pretty good size Walmart they have plenty of things that you might need I really like going to this Walmart in Chanute Kansas
With all the cameras and technology, not to mention the implicit forcefulness of making you check yourself out, they shouldn't have such an urge of standing nearly directly behind you. Those registers shut themselves down my friend WHEN (not if..!) it sees you attempting to skate product by. Back off a bit.. I know I don't smell that pretty!
Nice clean store with plenty of inventory on the shelves. Fresh produce look great. I was dissapointed that they didn't have more full service checkout lines available. Only two lanes were open. All in all an average Walmart (which is a good thing).
Didn't get everything that I wanted. Particularly Cera ve products. They seem to be pretty popular these days, due to Dr. Ray cosmetologist collaboration with Walmart. But overall the shopping here was nice.
Help was very limited, and our cashier was very rude. I can't believe that they have that many associates walking around the store, stalking shelves, facing shelves, or scanning in needed items that are low, and not one of them could be bothered to help us find out item, NOR FIND IT'S PRICE! Then to be treated like common trash at the check out by a man who is clearly only interested in how much you're spending so he can guesstimate what you are worth. He obviously only cares about his own paycheck cause he looks at you as though you're worthless when you pay with partial cash, and partial card. Screw you. I'm not even from here and I won't be back. So rude. This Wal-Mart is a disgrace!
