Walmart

I am considering moving to the Clear lake area to escape the insanity of all the money worshiping, ego car driving, fake people in SoCal. I wanted to read the reviews of wal-​mart. I was not surprised that all the self proclaimed «Pretty people» had nothing good to say about «Real people» and real stores that made America Great. I am glad to see that the sidewalks, where they exist. are rolled up at 5 P.M. for the most part. I am glad to see that folks are secure enough in themselves to come to Wal-​mart as they are and don’t feel the need to impress anyone. I won’t be in the store until mid February when we come there to look at homes for sale but you can be assured that I will leave a «Real time» review on those visits.

In this area, shopping choices are limited (very limited). This is one of few choices to even shop after 5pm. They have most of what you need at Walmart prices. This Walmart is smaller than other Walmarts I have been to. But it is supposed to expand into a Superstore (which will be great). The shoppers are funny looking but this is Clearlake so it is what it is.

This Walmart is the worst I’ve ever been too. It doesn’t even deserve my 1 star! My friend had a flat tire and we are from San Jose so we needed to get it fixed and nothing else was opened on a Sunday. They said they patched it up for 10 bucks and when we asked if it was just a simple patch up one of the guys said well, it was ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ I personally wouldn’t have done it but the manager said to just patch it up. Driving an hour and what do you know another flat! Don’t be lazy assholes and tell us it’s ok so you don’t have to work a little harder to put on a new tire. I hope karma comes your way you loser Walmart fucks.

Walmart tire tech was involved in an accident with my car after install. Both drivers are denying it was there fault and both Walmart’s insurance and the other party’s insurance denied my claim. Im left with a damaged 2013 Mazda 3 and no help from WALMART! WTF

The worst Walmart in the worst place! Never fully stocked, aisles crowded with crap so they can make it seem like they need a «super store» — but it’s bull. The manager is a troglodyte and they literally let dogs freely roam! Disgusting! How the hell does the health department not do anything? The store is filthy, reeks of pot and the employees seem specially chosen for their lack of even rudimentary education. Avoid this store lest you too become a carrier.

Stores great. The people walking through there are a different story 80% people are high on meth. Don’t go at night!

Never a dull moment here. I’ve never had to wait long in line. Parking is always good as well. The store seems well stocked the few times I’ve been in there.

This review is on their pharmacy. I had 2 prescriptions. Had looked up the prices on line before I went in. They honored the price on one because it was on their list of $ 4 scripts. I had a coupon for the other. The woman wouldn’t even look at it. Gave me their retail price and told me to take it or leave it. So, I left it. I just spoke with CVS. They said they’ll be happy to honor the coupon. I don’t think I’ve ever been treated so badly at a pharmacy. I’m giving 2 stars because of the one $ 4 prescription. That is a great price. This happened right after they opened. I’d hate to have to deal with this woman at the end of her shift. You’d think the discount was coming out of her pocket.

This is by far the dirtiest walmart I have ever been in. I spent the last year living in Bentonville AR and I think that they must never quality control this one! It is dirty. they leave flats of food that need to be stocked in the back in the sporting goods section of the store and in the toy aisles. You can not walk around freely. The employees do not wear their walmart shirts just pins and always look dirty and not well taken care of. The manager cannot take care of problems efficiently. Ive had too many issues in this store. I wish there was somewhere better to shop when I am visiting my grandparents. I am not sure why the standards are so low here. Stock your shelves and mop the floors. The floors are literally covered in dirt… I dropped my iphone and hesitated to pick it up because the floors are so dirty. The tanks of fish are filled with dead ICK infested fish. it is nasty.

I don’t know what it is about bringing your dogs into Walmart! I limit my shopping time and list due to severe allergies within my family. Not to mention, its gross! I don’t want to buy my food where there are so many dogs! Service dogs are one thing but any given day you will see a dog in the store that is not a service dog!

Well, as another reviewer said, it is a Wal-​Mart, but I have seen better. It is medium-​sized and always seems to be out of something.
Cons:
Quite some years ago, I heard that our Wal-​Mart is used to get rid of leftovers from other Wal-​Marts out of the area and I believe it because it is not uncommon for us to buy something and never be able to find it again.
When they expanded their food selection several areas where downsized to make room, including the toy, pet and craft sections. (Although, in their defense, at least they still have a craft area, K-​mart cut out theirs quite some years ago.) They used to have a long aisle of school and office supplies but now it is a joke.
Speaking of the pet center, the last time I checked out their fish, they didn’t look good. All of their fish are stuffed into tiny tanks and a couple of them had dead fish. When my brother and I returned the next day, they had not cleaned them out and at least half a dozen fish had then died. At that point (over 24 hours later), an employee was finally cleaning out the tanks. As my brother said, he doesn’t mind buying supplies there, but he would never want to buy fish there.
The front lanes never have enough cashiers and the lines are often very long. Even many of the other sections of the store that allow you to purchase items seem to have long lines.
Pros:
They have cheap prices?
The store and bathroom are very clean. In fact, the bathroom even smells nice, and is far more pleasant to use then the Ray’s bathroom.
They still have their drinking fountains; again, unlike Ray’s which removed theirs many years ago.

I just wrote a review for the Walmart in Martinez, and got an idea: I should write a review for this Walmart.
This is not only a discount store to get just about everything you need except the kitchen sink. It has practically become the gathering place of Lake County.
Think about it. Lake County is a remote area, far from the nearest interstate. Transportation adds to the cost of goods here, so things are expected to be higher in Lakeport, Nice, Kelseyville, and others. With Walmart’s economies of scale, it’s usually worth it to drive around the lake to go here, even with gas being $ 4/​gallon. And I think a lot of north lake and west lake residents do. Like all Walmarts, this is one-​stop shopping, so it’s worth the excursion for lots of things in one trip. For a few items, though, it’s better to stick to the mom-​and-​pops on the west side.
I can’t speak for everything being the lowest price around Clear Lake. They have food, but where I live, I’ve found better food at lower prices in other grocery stores. Might be the same situation in Clearlake, I don’t know. I’d figure that Grocery Outlet in Lakeport beats Walmart’s prices with food. But selection? Oh yeah. I camp up here, and when I have emergencies — low batteries, air mattress that gets a hole in it, health food (cookies!) — Walmart has everything I need.
Okay, stop laughing about the «People Of Walmart» thing. County residents come as they are, wherever they go, and certainly at Walmart. Usually they look like the rednecks, retirees, or farmers that they are, and sometimes they do look a little funny. But they’re the real deal. And they aren’t snooty. The employees are helpful, too.
Bottom line? If you visit Lake County, learn where Walmart is, and feel free to go here often.

Compared to Walmart Stores in the Bay Area, this one is superior. A Saturday morning trip provided nowhere near the amount of chaos, and sheer rudeness I’ve encountered on an weekday, let alone the weekend visit to a Walmart in Milpitas or Mountain View, CA (I’ll agree with other Unilocalers for those stores). The cashiers are friendly at this location, an experience that I forgot existed, coming from the South Bay. There’s actually a modicum of cleanliness in the building, something I can’t say about the other examples. It’s an interesting place to people watch, too.
Seriously, in Lake County, your shopping choices are limited. It’s either this place or the KMart in Lakeport. Prices are better at this place over the KMart.
I give this place a few stars off, due to needed items being out on the day I stopped by.

Never thought I would be calling Walmart a regular stop but we visit just about every time we visit our friends who have a weekend place up here. It’s the only place around for a lot of things, of course they probably forced a lot of locally owned places to close, and we usually find a few things to get. Like $ 5 shirts…
It is what it is.

I’ll sum it up: It’s a Walmart. It’s no better or worse than any other Walmarts that I’ve seen. But you know what, if you’re driving your way through Clearlake from out of town and need something ASAP, this place is most likely to have it.
My boyfriend and I were on a road trip and I needed some Dramamine because I was getting car sick. Sure enough, Walmart had it and the pharmacist was very kind and full of information about Dramamine. Thank you, Walmart and awesome pharmacist. You cured me of feeling road sick!

Lets give credit where credit is due.
When I am staying at the house on Clearlake Walmart is the place to go for tons of things. They seem to have it all, and they are open later than most of the hardware stores.
The employees are clean, the store is clean. If you ask for help you will be helped. The outcome will be unclear, but they will do the best they can.
They have everything. It’s inexpensive. Its much better than driving 25+ miles to find something you need, at a store that closed hours earlier, or that isn’t open on Saturday. They have clothes, boat parts, and a fishing license for uncle charlie who wants to fish off the dock.

Yaaaah, I’m reviewing the Evil Empire.. .
I would really like to say, «Meh, I’ve experienced better», but in this neck of the woods as far as selection goes, this is «as good as it gets». No way am I giving this place 5 stars, mind you, but I do need to give the Devil his due here.
You can get just about anything you need here, and it’s the only place for miles around where you actually can – this does make this place of great service to the locals.
The biggest problem that I have here are the locals. Another Unilocaler here once said that she never saw so many mullets in her life – LOL, I have to agree. Plus, I’m seeing a LOT of VERY obese people and people that look like they’ve been taking meth for a bit too long walking around here. It’s not everyone by a long shot, but enough to make me take notice.
It’s a good place to shop and I usually end up going here at least once on a visit to Lake County because it’s often the only place to get something unless I want to drive 25+ miles to get it. I just ignore the folks and shop.

If your really bored and would like to see some cheap entertainment than just come to the Clearlake Walmart on the first of the month!

You can hear the whistles from their helicopters.
Quick. Hide the crops with U-​Haul blankets.
You’ll find Pops out in back with the corn on the cob.
He’s holding it like a microphone.
He’s throwing rocks at the neighbor’s windows.
Leaving the kids in the blackened streets where
cars with three wheels rest on cement blocks.
Barbed wire fistfights take place behind cyclone fences.
Joe’s in a tank-​top undershirt with malpracticed tattoos.
I’m a jack ass in the moonlight smiling with the fire engines.
See you out on old 53 on payday after the shoppins done.
Floating down the gutter streams. Nothing’s changed too much.
You can try to cry for something new. You might look foolish.
Nothing but straw mullets and severely chipped grins.
Weathered boomerangs charging the front door for the bargain bins.
Dumpy sweatpants not for cardio activity but for high-​fiving in Aisle 17.
Toothbrushes are stolen for doggy accidents on the rug, not for hygiene.
The bathroom cleaner mixture is for recreational use.
The vienna sausages sell out at the first of the month.
So, if your plan was for this weekend, you’re shit out of luck.

The only decent department store in Clearlake. I have never seen so many mullets in one place at one time in my life. That said… I didn’t have a problem spending $ 40.00 with all the great bargains.
