Yeah I might need to go to Safeway for a while. But I have shopped here at this Walmart since I moved to DC and I'm disappointed by this. Has never happened before!

That Walmart is a shitshow. Nothing surprises me when it comes to stories about that place.

Don't they get a bunch of subsidies from the city for that location too?

Could it be the refrigeration equipment failed?

Ok bro, then you know damn well this is a terrible grocery store
app_priori OP t1_j21sfzg wrote
It's cheap and has the basics. Plus with Aldi's prices creeping up, it wasn't worth the trek out to Benning Road for groceries anymore.

Been once. Never again.

Read the Google reviews and decided to live with the store delivered item that was 5+ months past the printed expiration date rather than taking a chance with this location.
No idea why this particular item was delivered from the store as I purposely stacked my order with items that only should have shipped.

Probably. I remember hearing Walmart promised more than the three stores in DC. They were going to set up a store on New York Avenue and in SE. Walmart got what they wanted and moved on.

I used to work there. It’s probably the most ghetto place I’ve ever been.

Just go to the Giant on the other side of the bridge?

Ugh, it’s so frustrating :( And I low key love this Walmart. It’s a shitshow, needless to say, but if you live close by, it’s great for cheap basics.

Probably working on getting the fridge working. It's either throw away the food or shut down the store.

That’s because it’s in the heart of where thieves are stealing at a rapid rate I believe

Losing the refrigeration has happened at least twice before. I don’t think it’s maintained well.
At least this time they threw out the food (we hope). Could be they are merely hiding in the back somewhere. Other times they left the food in place to spoil/sell.
Also, I once pulled a carton of milk off that was several months past its expiration date.
I still shop here but I ONLY buy dry goods - canned or boxed. And I try to closely inspect every item. So much stuff on the shelves has been crushed in transit or opened by someone along the way.

what does this mean? is it because its just too crowded?

As someone who lives right by there, that Walmart is a shit show. The worse part is that when you need something, they won't have it lol

This has happened before lol

I would absolutely love data about this lol

And you seriously believe these alleged thieves are specifically targeting...the cheese and sour cream?

I returned a video game there in 2020 and it felt like I walked into another country.

I get weirdly nostalgic in there because it reminds me of my shitty hometown

Everything is under lock and key in that store. I had to get an employee to unlock a case of $1 car air fresheners.

There's a Giant a half mile east on H...

This has happened a good bit this year. I once saw them in the process of throwing everything away…
You think they’d fix their equipment lol
AngelsGoHome t1_j25eype wrote
Another curious thing about this store is the shoplifting must be through the roof. Loads of security.
Sometimes they go as far as blocking the exit escalator and stairs with a wall of carts so the only way to reasonably leave is to wait for the elevator. That's got to be a fire code (mass shooter) violation.
