Walmart Express

When I got home, my produce was rotten. I called up and asked for them to help me out. All they can do is refund my $ 1.40 of Rosemary. Gee thanks. It’s no wonder this place gets no stars. You see, it’s not about the $ 1.40. It’s about the hour I have to spend now chasing down rosemary while I have company over waiting for dinner.
Thanks for nothing.

Very, very limited selection. Cluttered, dirty. A customer was spanking and yelling at her child in one of the aisles, which you could hear from a few aisles over

i hate this place! i send to money /​usd/​she wrote euro and wrong name !!! i’m so bored. i told her!!! she said «Now it’s fine Dont worry! «» hate this place !!! hate hate

Terrible! Cashier was nice but the manager was very rude. Don’t know the policy on accepting personal checks! Was very argumentative will not be going back!

I made a special trip to this Walmart. I was excited about it because I didn’t know it existed. Well what a letdown. The selection sucked. A lot of items weren’t even in stock and the prices are high. Comparable to Jewel and Jewel has way more to offer. It was like shopping at a Dollar Store. I was also amazed that they don’t even have a liquor aisle. I won’t be going back.

I recently went into a walmart express store on 05/​28/​2015 during the hour of 9:00pm CST. Before checking out I asked the associate if it was possible to get a re-​print of a receipt because I needed one copy for myself and a second copy to provide for my landlords. The associate was not sure how to do it so she called up the first manager, who was less than friendly about the request. I can’t tell you names because NONE of the managers that assisted me wore name tags. The first one had on a hoodie, and made a call for a different manager to come up. The second manager comes up no smile, no how may i help not a single friendly thing about him. I explain the situation and my request, he stands there puzzled for a moment then walks to the register and stands there again. I get told «I can photo copy it» he walks away then comes back and tells me the copy machine is broken. Then just stands there. So, now i am out of a receipt. The service from the managers was horrible, no help. No anything. Not only did I not get a copy, they did not even want to help or act like it. This customer service is unacceptable, I know I can not be the first one asking for a re-​print of a receipt. Please take the time to give those managers some one on one training on customer service. They need it.

It goes to show… no matter where you put it, Walmart will be Walmart.
Stopped by this week to grab an I-​phone charger. Was greeted at the door with someone screaming. To whom, I’m still not sure.
Was told by an employee that they do not carry I-​phone charger. Um, what!!! It’s 2015. Who doesn’t carry chargers?
Check out is a joke. One register open. 10 guests in line. I left my stuff and quickly left the store.

Thanks for putting my detergent with my celery, really appreciate it. I’ll stick to self checkout from now on.

It’s right by the office but the frustration is not worth the convenience.
From the very day this Walmart opened they got it wrong. It can get incredibly busy and the checkout lanes are configured in a way that causes the line to quickly back up into the store, blocking the aisles. Self-​check out seldom has more than two stations working and is usually clogged up with people who are checking out cartloads of merchandise. I am all for less human contact, but there is no place for two cart loads of stuff in self-​checkout. Often, there is one cashier and that person is responsible for her own register and troubleshooting the self-​check out lane.
Don’t get anything takeaway there for lunch. I have regularly been treated to brown lettuce in a salad bearing an expiration date that’s a week away. Taking it back merely gets you a long wait for the rude manager who begrudgingly refunds your money. You’d think it was coming out of his pocket for the way he treats people.
I don’t buy frozen food but with just a quick look yesterday I noticed many dinged and crunched packages. Watch the prices, too. Many of the prices are comparable to other places that treat their employees and customers better.
The one bright spot is the pharmacy staff. They are knowledgable and helpful.
They get it right at the Diversey Ave. store. This one? not so much.

What’s wrong with me? I stopped in Sunday morning for a Christmas gift card for Dad. The (only) employee working the front was brain dead. Seemed nice enough, but stoopid. She asked me FIVE TIMES how much I wanted loaded on the gift card. Is $ 100 that difficult to remember? After calling for help in order to sell me the gift card (seriously??), I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Sorry Dad. From now on, I’m mailing you a check.

This store is right by my work, so it is convenient for me to run in and grab a few things. The store is usually clean but the staff seems a bit dysfunctional. There are usually too few cashiers working during peak hours, which creates long lines wrapped into the aisles. They have four self checkout lanes, and you’ll be lucky if two of them are actually working.
I realize it’s walmart, but at least get the place functioning.

Right off the Brown line: Chicago stop. Very convenient and has a lot of standard stuff from produce and dairy products, to shampoo and toiletries. Plus, their pricing isn’t bad at all. I come here often. They also have a video rental kiosk too.

This was exactly was I was expecting from a Walmart express: A solid selection of basics. It is in a great location, on the corner of Chicago and Franklin near the Chicago Brown Line stop. They have a Pharmacy, and a nicer produce selection than what I was expecting. I didn’t find there to be lower prices on anything that you couldn’t get at Walgreens, but it is a nice place to stop in for basics when you are in a rush (self-​check out too!).

So much in such little amount of space. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad there is another Walmart in the downtown area, but they sure did a good job of cramming everything into the store. They don’t have the same selection or items as their counterpart on Monroe. Very similar, but some items that I use on a regular basis are only sold at one of the two stores. They don’t sell alcohol at this location., But they do have more options for things like socks, underwear, and tshirts.
The check out area is really small. There are a handful of self-​checkouts and only 3 – 4 check out counters where 1 or 2 of them are staffed.
It is conveniently located right underneath the Brown Line. So if I don’t feel like walking I can always take the train.

Clean. Convienent. Pretty decent layout. Fresh produce and meats. Friendly staff.
They don’t have a lot of options for any one thing (except shampoo… they seem to have every type and brand ever manufactured), but they have a little bit of just about everything.
I like that they have a section of ready-​to-​eat foods right when you first walk in, as well as a microwave. Nothing in this section is particularly healthy, but it’ll do if you’re in a rush.

Ok its WAL-​MART! Who does not love this store. Located at the corner of Chicago & Orleans, entry under/​next to the L stairs. This one is a small hence Express store that offers a lot of what the super store has, but just less volume, basic stuff. Fresh veggies that are always fresh cause of the high volume of turn-​over.
Go here before you go to Dom’s, Jewel’s & Fox… you will be much happier and spend less.

FINALLY, the folks who live and work in this neighborhood have a fairly good size grocery store that sells everyday items for prices below Jewel and Dominicks. The store doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it’s spacious and well-​stocked on the inside. There’s even a pharmacy.
Now…about that ghetto mama I watched drag her child around like a rag doll last Friday afternoon, then loudly cussed him out and spanked him near the front of the store while the Walmart employees looked the other way or laughed: there’s a special place in hell for you.

I have no ill feelings towards Walmart, and I have no qualms shopping there due to employee rights or killing puppies or enslaving your first born. Whatevs.
So while I have fond memories of buying my entire life there as a broke college student in St. Louis, I didn’t expect much coming into an «express» store. And I was pleasantly surprised. I had heard express stores touted as like a CVS or walgreens, but its actually much more expansive than that. Sort of a Jewel/​Dominicks/​CVS/​Walgreens combo.
The grocery, while not as large as a full-​fledged Jewel or Dominicks, has a lot of your basics, including fruits/​veggies/​meats/​cheeses (up to you whether you want your pork loins from a Walmart). Decent cereal and other non-​perishable selections. Plenty of milk and juices.
Same story with the drugstore portion – not as comprehensive as a CVS/​Walgreens, but enough of your basics.
The prices are cheaper than the aforementioned stores, though not mind-​blowingly so. Still, it’s enough to make you feel like you are saving a bunch.
One downside is the checkout situation – it appears a lot of the automated ones aren’t up and running, and there was only one cashier there on a Sunday afternoon. Perhaps the kinks will get worked out soon.
I personally welcome a grocery that I can walk to in the West River North area – one key thing that has been missing from my little corner of the ‘hood. I’ll still be frequenting Jewel and Dominicks, but it’s good to have a place close by to fill in the gaps when I don’t want to get in the car.

A-​OK!
I expected more from this place.
Although its nice to be able to walk there, its small, cramped, and has small selections of a lot of things, ie I am an ice-​cream, frozen yogurt junky. They had a VERY small selection of this.
The prices were ok. Nothing like crazy low, but definitely more reasonable than Jewel or Dominicks.
Also, we did the self check out and the machine kept malfunctioning. The problem was they didnt have anyone to help. We had to wait for the normal cashier to come over and fix it. This happened twice! Slightly annoying because the purpose of those things is so that you dont have to wait, etc.
I will go back in a bit and check it out. Not bad, not fantastic, A-​OK

I have been walking by here for the last 6 plus months waiting for this Walmart to open up. Today was the magical day!!!
This morning we walked by and we met a sweet lady who was handing out Walmart Bags. She gave each of us a reusable bag that had swag inside. She then took back our bags and said, «Let me find you something good!» I got excited thinking I would get a 50 dollar gift card but she was more concerned that we received white walmart t-​shirts. She then informed me that the homeless people liked getting the t-​shirts. I am all about giving homeless people nice clean clothes but I found this a little weird. I did think it was probably good marketing to have people who are on the street with branding… actually it made me a little sad because I would have loved a t-​shirt. We did end up with a red cooler that could hold up to 6 cans… hey wait… do I really need this or could the t-​shirt guy really use this? Okay I am trying to be funny without being insensitive to a terrible problem in this country… no one should be living on the street… it is sad!!!
We could hardly wait to walk in and see what was going on inside. This place is a grocery store. Yes they have everything I could need for a meal. The fruit and veggie selection was huge… the prices were also really low too for being a store that is downtown. I feel sorry for Walgreens down the street because they are going to need to change there prices in order to compete with this place.
They also had bread, lunch meat and dried goods too… so if you are in a bind then this is the place to hit. I also enjoyed at how packed this place was. There were old couples, young people, people in suits, young families with kids… where did all of these people shop before this place opened?
I also liked the big pharmacy too. I am going to need to check out there prices next time I ever need to get a perscription filled… sorry Costco! They also have a blood presure machine here too… I tried it out and I was very relaxed… I looked at my wife and said, «I am going to live!!!’ She laughed and then hit me… but not in a bad way!!!
In this economy, Walmart is a welcome to many American families trying to make ends meet and keep there head above water. Welcome to the neighborhood. I was glad to get to check out the store today… I feel like I have been waiting forever and I am glad that this day has finally come. We will be back soon to load up the wagon on our next walk.
