Walmart

I don’t like when people say «Oh it’s Walmart, what did you expect?». Those are people that clearly don’t travel out of their own neighborhood. I have been to some really clean Walmarts. This store is very clean and usually quiet, depending on the time of day. The customer service is better than some in other parts of the city. Now having said all of that, here is the issue. As soon as I walked in I saw some fresh apples on sale for .50 lb. Grabbed me three of the biggest apples I could find. Once I got home noticed that I had been charged almost $ 2 lb. Damn! I called a few times for couple hours never got threw to anyone. Went the next day which was out the way and was told the I could only come back when customer service opened. I had to explain the issue four to five times because the women did not seem to understand even after looking at the receipt why I was standing in front of them. I nicely told the mgr Michelle that I work a crazy schedule and I’m not available when the customer service is open. How in the world can you run a store and not give an exchange or refund to someone before 7am? Really there is nothing you can do. I don’t care if it is $ 2 its the principal of the matter.

Its Walmart what did you expect…

This is first wal-​mart that I know of that is actually ITL. Correct me if I’m wrong. I am usually not a fan of Walmart, but sometimes it is a necessary evil. You just have to get some items in the middle of the night. This particular walmart is cleaner, currently, doesn’t mean it will not deteriorate later. It seems like they addressed safety concerns and have added a lot of lighting in the parking lot.

This WalMart was far cleaner and nicer than the one on Dunvale. It’s a newer Super WalMart, and so they have a lot more departments here.
I was in the need for some sewing notions. I was really happy to see they had a tiny, but sufficient sewing department. In said department were:
– Small selection of fabrics including character fleece (think Frozen), quilting fabrics, quilting fat quarters
– buttons, ribbons, zippers, thread
– printable sheets of fabric and iron-​ons
– some fabric paints, although the puffy kind not the soft/​flat kind
I think if you were in a sewing pinch and Joanns/​High Fashion were closed, it would be sufficient to come here. Definitely would go back if I need something.

The food prices are much less than the grocery stores which is helpful for the pocket book. However, DO NOT bother with the produce. The avocados are always mushy – ick! I have not purchased much meat here either and not sure if it would be a priority at this store when others have meat counters. There are TONS of check out lanes BUT most are ALWAYS closed which is ever so annoying. The prices are good just do not expect superior service.

i bought two items 3 days before totalling under $ 100 and on my first attempt to return them, they pretty much told me they can’t look it up by credit card and that they won’t follow store policy (a gift card). they told me i can exchange it for the same items. i don’t want the items or else i would have kept it! what good is that going to do me?
I went home and learned i can get a replacement receipt. i went back today and they gave me the replacement receipt and the run around. Told me that even though I have ever a replacement receipt (which is a complete copy of the original receipt but on a different kind of paper), that I can’t use it to return anything. It’s just proof of purchase, not a receipt. Isn’t that what a receipt is? I mean, if it proves I purchased somthing, that’s a step above showing up with good and trying to get credit for it… finally a manager told me they can give me a refund back on the card i used. She walked off and checked cameras from the date of purchase and even though she told me I had received a receipt and put it in my pocket (now having visual proof that I purchased the items), she then decided ten minutes later that she can but won’t… thanks for nothing x2. After a few eye rolls and giggles from the managers, I left. I swear, it was like one highschool, mean girls power play. Annoying and unprofessional… but it’s Walmart so I’m also to blame for expecting more.
I lodged 2 complaints on those 2 separate occasions with the Walmart hotline. Both the operators were stunned. The complaints were sent to the store manager whom I never heard back from. I was then told to lodge a complaint with the district manager and I eventually heard back from someone else…
worst customer service ever…
The associates at the Dunvale location are way more helpful.

I go to this walmart because it’s so close to my house. It is better than some of the other walmarts that I’ve been to. The parking is way better at the Yale location than the one I used to go to in the suburbs. It’s pretty clean and organized when I go. Lines are sometimes long and slow when I’ve been there. I feel like all walmarts need more registers open in the afternoon during the rush of people stopping by after work.

They might want to consider opening more registers during the evening rush so people don’t give up and leave their full carts on the side before leaving.

Honestly, I don’t recall coming here, though Unilocal says I have. So OK.
I’ve been forced to go to various Wal-​Marts lately due to my Birthday.
My brother bought me a monster TV for the BDay.
I dont watch TV.
I didn’t want a TV.
I never told him… I just returned it for a gift card.
I’ve purchased 2 bikes and returned them due to poor assembly.
Boo to the Yale Walmart.
So I’m visiting other locations to find a decent bike.
Since I don’t recall being here it must have been OK.
I tend to be ridiculously selective.
Thus if I wasn’t irritated about being here…4 stars.
;)
I hope to find the darn bike soon so I can go back to Target.

This Walmart is a bit different from the older, existing Walmart locations in Houston. It seems smaller, and the layout is different so I get confused on where items are located. But, a short line is definitely a plus for me in a grocery store. So, I guess this Walmart is ok, at least its not rowdy like some of them! Also, its in the same parking lot as Corner Bakery!

Welp, looks like Target finally has some competition. This Walmart is clean, organized, bathrooms are tidy and actually smell good, ample parking… never thought i’d say this, but i’ll be back!

I’ve been to this Walmart a few times… and while I definitely think it’s a lot nicer than any other Walmart I’ve ever been to, I would say it’s still very painful to shop here. I came here a few weeks ago to try and get a key made and it took me about 10 minutes just to find someone to help me. When the guy finally came over, he looked completely out of it and had no idea what he was doing.
I came back again today and of my shopping list of 5 items, they were out of 3 of them! How frustrating, I had to make another stop just to find what I needed.
Don’t plan on going back unless I absolutely have to!!!

ummm, yes walmart at this level DOES deserve to receive 5 stars. but please be advised, i compared this to OTHER walmarts in the area, not comparing it to other large retailers!
the parking situation wasn’t as bad as i thought it would be on a hot july day. the store was so meticulously CLEAN & ORGANIZED! but what else to expect from a store that’s been open since october 2012?
the customer service was superb as well. i was looking for some office supplies when most of the stuff was in the back to school section, but what i was needing was not. i actually caught the assistant manager & she got someone to help me right away. bummed that i couldn’t find what i was looking for, a [thuggish] gentleman came over to help me out & look for it in clearance PLUS check up front «by register 15.»
for a moment i thought i was in target… that wasn’t in houston… YES i said it! :-P i’ll definitely be back & recommend this walmart to everyone :)

I am not gonna lie, I was kinda scared of them opening up a walmart in the Heights bc I live here adn I did not want the value of the neighborhood to go down (also I was scared of the crime it would bring based on other areas with walmarts around). But this walmart is clean, nice, convenient, super cheap, and lines move pretty quickly. Also parking is soo easy! I havent noticed any crime which is good and the pharmacy is so convenient for me. I would have given it a five star except for the fact that their deli section is always lacking help.

Key copies are made back in hardware section. $ 1.93!

Dude, they should build more of these!
