What Keeps Me Shopping at Walmart
SN#: 01764
Our family recently moved to Iowa from California and only used to shop at Walmart for the prices alone. Our local Iowan Walmart felt like a huge upgrade.
Firstly, our Walmart keeps the shelves nicely stocked and was much, much cleaner than our Californian Walmart. It was "Target" organized, and made us able to identify and purchase items easier. It didn't look like a tornado hit our store!
Secondly: Holy cow! Certain Walmart items we identified were less than half the price of the initial price. Dude Wipes! The exact same thing at more than half the price. Fleur de Sel! I couldn't believe Walmart caught up and recognized that this was this was a favorite (and fancy) salt and, again, was sold at half the price. Face scrub and moisturizers? CeraVe and Neutrogena items sold at half price! Our store sold some items I would ordinary buy at full price. This was refreshing.
Lastly, and the best part of our experience was Tori: the woman who checked us out. California was sometimes a very rude experience. I'm a disabled veteran, and the last thing I need is added stress. I'm very rarely so impressed during checkouts. She created real and kind dialogue. I guess they consider it "Iowa nice," but she very much exemplified that niceness. It ended our pleasant shopping day (buying shoes from Famous Footwear, luggage bags, getting food out).
A store that doesn't look like there was a dumpster tossed all over the place, startling prices that honestly amazed me, and an "Iowa nice" checkout where Tori created actual dialogue:
**That's what will keep me shopping at Walmart.**
