So today is christmas eve. my mother decides now to buy ingredients for christmas dinner, even though I had offered to do it yesterday.
So I'm already a little salty. Walmart is already fucking terrible and on christmas eve? Where it's slammed all day? Yeah no, fuck that. However, my mother tells me that there is a new walmart in town, and urges me to go there instead. I shrug and decide to check it out. When I get there, I notice it isn't the usual "Super" walmart that is in every other corner of town, but a "Neighborhood" walmart. Never seen one of these, so imagine my surprise when I find out it's a smaller Walmart, dedicated to grocery/food items.
I couldn't believe it at first. It was fully stocked, quiet, the employees and customers were nice, and there were honest to god sales and discounts on products all over the place!
Seriously, I was able to find exactly what I needed on my list. No substitutions, nothing out of stock, I GOT EVERYTHING I NEEDED.
Like, instead of people being grumpy and just trying to get their shit and go, people actually stopped to talk to each other, and it wasn't annoying or awkward, it was pleasant! There was real customer service! In fact, in my own stupidity, I had forgotten my the debit card at home, so that meant I would have to leave my entire cart behind, go home and come back to pay for it all. And guess what? They actually held my stuff for me and waited for me to come back! (unlike the other walmart that just got rid of all my shit the last time this happened.
The employees actually looked like they wanted to work there and not like they wanted to kill themselves. They were nice and happy.
Despite my own error, that didn't subtract to my positive experience, only adding to it!
I had a huge dumb grin on my face the entire time I shopped there and was in a great mood when I got home. I have never been able to say that about shopping at walmart before today.
Not even once.
