“Me and my daughter went today (July 22nd) and I had to get a bunch of shelf stable food because my fridge had went out. I am also pregnant in my 3rd trimester and I don't last long without a scooter buggy. So my 8 year old daughter (selfishly helps mom all the time!) had to push the heavy can food filled buggy around the store. THEN we get to the register and it seemed like I was the only one worrying about looking like a terrible mom having her child push the heavy buggy around. While checking out I asked the cashier if it would be possible to have someone help us load the heavy groceries into my van. She called for some help and I was surprised that 2 ladies (ANGEL & MEKA) showed up to help because I honestly expect just 1 male knowing it was a buggy and a half full of heavy stuff. These 2 girls were amazing help to me and I appreciate them so much! Honestly in this heat I wouldn't have been surprised with anyone being irritable about being in it lugging heavy cans into a trunk, but these 2 remained pleasant and even though I felt useless, they were happy to help and I am so greatful. They need recognition and a raise for being selfless and having outstanding customer service!”
“Prices are going to high on some stuff but then that's to be expected in a rural grocery store however it's quaint it's clean smells good nice and cool. Nice that they have food club items which we used to buy a del champs down south”
Walmart just launched Realm, its new 3D online shopping platform. To help you visualize what that means, imagine a virtual mall packed with bright colors, wacky landscapes, and cartoon avatars wandering around. Realm lets you browse "digital doubles" of real Walmart products by navigating through several make-believe worlds. "We believe this is the future of commerce," said Justin Breton, who leads brand experiences at Walmart. "It won't replace our website or app, but will complement them."
