Walmart

You need to get out of the pizza business, your crust is not such a thing, is like rubber gross!!!

We came in search of a suitcase, as we had extra stuff to transport home. The suitcases were really expensive (for Walmart), so we passed on that. But we did find that they had a good selection of souvenirs… skip the tourist shops and make this your first stop for souvenir shopping, to get the best prices.

Came here for one item, the lady at the door said they close in 40 minutes, which is fine… however, there are two lanes open with 10+ people in each lane, most of which with full carts and the self checkouts were blocked off. I’ll just go to target for my one item. Oh and there was an altercation going on in the parking lot.

It’s Walmart… what more can I say. You are at the hotel and you need to pick up stuff you forgot… it is there and you go and you are reminded why you don’t shop at Walmart often!

The Walmart Pharmacy here in Galveston is the ONLY pharmacy my family will use!!! Believe me when I say that I know exactly how a pharmacy should and can be run. In the past I myself worked in pharmacies — retail, hospital and mail order. The staff here is close to the very best I’ve ever seen or known. Helen is by far the most caring, outgoing and professional pharmacist — it’s a pleasure watching her caring meticulous work and teambuilding with her coworkers!!! Way to go Helen!!!
This pharmacy makes certain even a tourist feels at home, while we islanders are welcomed with open arms as well. (not so at the other island pharmacies, even in their own words at Walgreens they only want tourists)

DISTRICT MANAGER and STORE MANAGER! How do you keep your jobs with such a dirty, poorly stocked store? There are many courses available to help you train your employees in customer service. Find one! Stockers should pour into this store after peak hours and restock/​reorganize every evening! With this tourist location comes lots of people with quick product turnover. Reorganize your personnel with a tighter cleaning schedule – not with someone who can barely walk, pushing a broom when someone is looking. You claim to provide jobs and support the community. Get rid of the gossiping, dead weight employees you have hired because they are related to another employee, and find workers who value the job! Most of yours have the attitude that they are doing us a favor by being there.
SAM WALTON, we need your help on this one!!!
PS– fix your electric carts! Some shoppers really need them!!!

Never enough cashiers. Weekend and not enough registers opened nSelf service is not for everyone. Great prices are not enough! This is a continuing problem

Another worst customer service. Slowest cashier on speedy check out lane. Ridiculous..

i left one star because I couldn’t leave zero. This is the place where dreams come to die. Worst store and worst customer service EVER. I will never be back. And possible never visit a walmart again. If I’m lucky.

Worst walmart I’ve ever been to in my entire life it’s the size of a super walmart but it’ not 24 hours it’s dirty and they don’t even have baskets so it’s so irritating if u only need a couple things.

This is probably one of the worst Wal Mart stores I’ve ever been to. The parking lot is always littered with trash and the store is dirty with often limited items. Annoying that some employees do not speak English and cannot assist you finding items. Lots of unsavory people dropped off by the city bus near the front of the store and very crowded on the week-​ends and holidays. Do yourself a favor and shop at Target instead.

worst customer service experience ever. false advertising. good luck getting your money back when you are overcharged on bottles of wine that were advertised as ¹⁄₃ of the original price.

My boyfriend and I visited Galveston for Christmas in 2013. I know I shouldn’t have high expectations for Walmart, but seriously. The employees here looked like they wanted to drop dead and were super rude. We were trying to find a Christmas tree stand for a Christmas tree we were about to purchase from them. The first employee didn’t even look up from what she was doing the entire time I was speaking with her and even during her response to me, which was «I don’t know.» We got two other «I don’t know“s after that. Well, it’s kind of your job to find someone who does know or at least send me in a certain direction. I don’t know isn’t the final answer to anything when you work in the service industry. I know life sucks for Walmart workers, but c’mon. I don’t go to Walmart anymore because of the atrocities that are being done to the employees there, but you have to at least pretend like you don’t hate your life at your job.

Ok please note that this review is focused on my experience with their optical shop and Pharmacy. I have always had good luck with both– Yesterday was no exception. I brought in a pair of glasses that had broke and asked the folks if they could fix them while I was getting my eyes checked. My appointment was on time and within 30 minutes the eye doctor introduced me to contacts that would allow me to see up close and far away! NO MORE Bifocals! I left my appointment and was greeted by the tech who handed me my repaired glasses (I won’t wear them now that I can see in my contacts) and thanked me for stopping by– My experience went so fast it was hard to keep up! The prices at Wal Mart are simple and very affordable which opens up access to healthcare for all! Same with the pharmacy– I am in and out in no time — always appreciate their cost conscious approach to formularies — again… It significantly improves access to care for all!

Worst Walmart I’ve ever dealt with. Their call center is horrible and their staff cares so little about their job its just sad. Shopping for anything at this location is a hassle.

I don’t go to this Walmart anymore for personal reasons, but those reasons have nothing to do with the store it self. So here’s what I think of the store. Very crowded mostly with family’s with screaming kids and beach bros (especially during the summer when tourist are in town). Parking is packed all day every day. Employs are decent to shity. Some good things! Normally has the things you’re looking for, bad movie selection, mediocre Video game selection, and music is all BS censored crap. Just like all Wallmarts :)
But that’s what you get when you shop for stuff at lower prices. I say go to Krogers.
It’s worth the $ 3 to have a better shopping experience.
P. S. my mother always walks out angry when ever she walks out of this store.

Go just to people watch you won’t be disappointed!

This review is based mostly on the automotive side of this Wal-​Mart location…
Got some new tires put on and was quoted 35 minutes at the most. I went in the early afternoon and was the only one there at the time. I walk around the store and did a little bit of shopping. Once I picked up all the things I needed, checked the time and it was about the time my car was supposed to be done. I knew they called you over the intercom but I never heard my name so I figured I would go back and check. When I got back to the counter there was a huge line of morons using this line as the check out line because they are too lazy to walk to the front and there was a bunch of other people getting keys made. During all this commotion there was one person behind the counter moving at snail speed. So I sat on the bench and waited another half hour so everyone in line could go through and then I was going to ask because I could tell she was a bit frazzled. Turns out my car was done the whole time but all the other people working there were off doing something else besides helping the one person behind the counter move people through. I came here on my break because I called ahead to see what the wait would be and if I could get in and out of there within an hour and they said it would not be a problem at all. You obviously have A LOT of staff so put them in places that are necessary, instead of letting your staff fool around.

This 2-​star rating of Walmart is based solely on my last (and sure to be final) experience with their pharmacy. Firstly, I dropped off my prescription to be filled with the pharmacist on Friday at around noon, and she told me that it would be ready at the earliest at 2pm that day. The $ 10 fill for my prescription without insurance was a deal, so coming back later after a few hours was no big deal. And that’s what I did. Hours later two o’clock rolls around again and I phone the pharmacy to ensure that it was ready for pick-​up, at which time they said that I wasn’t entered into the system as being a customer. Basically that they had not received my earlier days «drop-​off». BOGUS! I went back in to the store, and once again through the re-​fill process, but this time they said that it would not be filled until the following day. Whatever… just make sure I’m in the system this time.
I go back the next day to pick up my drugs, and when I go to the pharmacy it looks like a ghost town. I wonder what the hell is going on, until I look and see an out to lunch sign, will return at 2pm. Ok, fine, I had about 15 min to kill walking around Wal-​Mart, easy to do. After a while of cruising the aisles I get back to the pharmacy. Holy waiting line, there were about 5 people in line already, and one «trainee» checking us out. Poor girl was trying to learn the ropes, and at first I felt sorry for her and patient. But after I was there for about 45 min in line waiting to pick-​up my stuff, I just got plain pissed off.
I finally get my turn in line. I pay for my meds and then the chick pulls then to the back counter and says, you will need to be counseled on these meds as a instructed by pharmacy protocol. I was like «Excuse me?»
You know «Counseled» with a tech, now just please step over to the side there and they’ll be right with you. Let me just say, that this was medication that I have been taking for over a year, and not once ever had to be counseled prior to filling it. So I step over to the side counter and then I wait AGAIN — 10 min later I get «counseled» and I am finally out the door.
The whole experience was a nightmare, one that I felt needed to be exposed to the unknowing general Unilocal public. Beware, and Seek pharmacists elsewhere.

I’ve only stopped into this Walmart a few times, most recently a few weeks ago. I’m not usually shopping for massive amounts of groceries or supplies, but just a few random things that I’d forgotten at home.
Most recently, I realize I was out of sunblock, didn’t have a beach towel, and needed a few grocery items for my stay on the island. Fortunately, beach stuff is always in season here, so I got a cheap towel, a two pack of sunblock (yay for a bargain!), and some fruit for a pretty low price. The whole visit and transaction took less than 15 minutes despite the lines and crowded aisles I navigated.
I’ve never had any issues with the staff or the cleanliness of the store, so it doesn’t bother me to pop in here for a quick purchase or two.
