You know what you are getting when you come to a Walmart. You know the relative cleanliness, helpfulness, and line length.
I've done "pick up at store" before and it works out rather well. Order online, get notification, go to the line at customer service and pick it up. I know it's Christmas, but they still list if as an option. I ordered and never got any notification, logged on and saw the store cancelled the order. I assumed it was because of lack of stock. It was a humidifier so I ordered another and it had a "ready by 6" message and never went beyond processing.
So I had to drive to the store, looked through the stock, found the original order (so it wasn't a stock issue) and waited in a 15 minute line with one item. Which is what I was hoping to avoid.
Once in a while you can find an employee who can point you in the direction of something you are looking at. A lot of the time you can't find anyone or the one you find doesn't speak English. If you are going for all your purchases, maybe you don't mind waiting in a long line. It's just so annoying when you want one thing. If there was a close by Target or if drugstores had a decent selection of humidifiers, I would gladly pay more to avoid the hecticness. It's not the worse Walmart I've been to. It's got a lot of parking, especially if you drive away from the building and go down that road so you don't have to constantly stop for pedestrians.
But hey I was sick and I saw this product was listed to help, so even if you have a low opinion of Walmart, sometimes you can't resist the selection and prices. It's not the worst, but it's not the best.
