TL;DR: This can be a great store thanks to the kind employees, but please stop the lady from screaming announcements every 15 minutes at night.
I’ve lived all over the USA (except the upper east), & every time I move, I scout out the cleanest, friendliest Walmart nearby.
The Walmart on 192nd has been the winner for me in Clark County. I usually shop at night because it’s calmer w/ less traffic, fewer people & the night staff has always been super friendly. LaGina at the door is so nice & there's a cashier I talk to about his reptiles from time to time. There are a few night ladies that almost always say hi to me & I wished I knew their names b/c they are so sweet.
I no longer get everything I need at Walmart. They’re just not as convenient anymore, & sometimes their groceries are actually more expensive than places like Trader Joe’s.
I do have two complaints though.
The first one might sound petty, but it really does impact the experience.
There’s a woman who works nights & starts screaming announcements every 15 minutes between 10 & 11pm. It is SO loud. I’m sure she’s a nice person & good at her job, but the tone & wording are just rough. It sounds like she’s yelling at a room full of children (which to be fair, is sometimes the case lol).
Costco, TJs, Fred Meyer, & no other Walmart I’ve ever been to has someone screaming at you to leave the store.
I get that some ppl may need repeated reminders, especially at that hour. If that’s the issue, there have to be other ways to handle it- like closing the doors at 10:45, or being firm at checkout & closing registers promptly. People will adjust. Just add some security to deal w/ the rowdy folks.
To be clear, when I say the announcement is awful, I mean it’s awful. The tone is all over the place.
There’s another person who does it sometimes & their delivery is way calmer. So it’s clearly possible to do this in a more respectful way than yelling at people who do spend money there.
My second complaint is likely related to the types of people they expect to walk in. All makeup is locked up. So are some detergents, shaving supplies, feminine hygiene products, etc. You press a button, you wait. Some of the buttons don't even work. Sometimes ppl don't even show up.
It says a lot about the state of our country that people are stealing basic hygiene items. Why is this stuff not more accessible to those who actually need it?
