Do you mean the WalMart on H? You should rethink listing that as a perk until you've visited it.

Have never been to that Walmart but won't try it based on the relentless negativity about it...

That Walmart is what I classify as chaotic evil compared to the neutral evil of the Columbia heights target.

I think people are generally familiar with the WalMart shopping experience, be it in DC or in the burbs.

I promise you that the H St Walmart is worse than the burbs. They are not comparable beyond the name on the door.

What’s the difference. Go into detail

It’s filthy. There’s no stuff. You basically need to go through security to go in and out. There are people on drugs standing out front.

Worse stock. Worse staff. Worse environment generally. It’s not a good store, full stop.

What’s wrong with the staff

I have never found useful help there, when there’s help to be found at all.

How much help do you need when you’re in WalMart

ohtakashawa t1_j2ad3kv wrote

Well when the shelves aren’t stocked or you’re trying to pick up an online order or return something or there’s a problem with the checkout, you need help. Do you work at the H Street Walmart, do you have some personal interest in arguing whether or not it sucks? Or just bored?

It's a common trope on here to talk shit about any chain store in the District staffed by Black Washingtonians, which you seem very comfortable parroting.

Professional-Tailor2 t1_j2ajdzj wrote

I don't get it. You asked them what's wrong with the store, they gave you a valid reason stating that the store doesn't stay stocked and the staff is unhelpful and you assume it's a issue about race? So anytime a store or business is lacking and a person notices, it's a racism issue right? How about the store just fucking sucks.

You new here? These complaints could be about literally any Walmart.

I’m black. That store sucks. This isn’t really debatable.

Are you under the mistaken impression that WalMarts elsewhere provide a superior customer experience? It’s WalMart

I’ve been to other Walmart. They are better. That one sucks. Why are you defending this Walmart so hard homie? Shit weirdo behavior.

Pipes_of_Pan t1_j2b3p2e wrote

I work nearby, have been many times, and the gentrifier hysteria is ridiculous. I think it’s far weirder to pretend that this one WalMart is somehow unusable or horrible for someone who lives in the neighborhood. WalMart is what it is

Yeah it sucks. Glad we agree. Take care homie. 🙌🏾

Sure, whatever. I’m sure they appreciate it though.

That WalMart is legitimately the worst shopping experience I’ve ever had and the staff is terrible. Stop making it a race thing that place sucks.

Only one of us is upset and you’re the one on the internet suggesting people who don’t like a Walmart are racist. I’m worried whether or not you’re gonna make it to be honest.

Dunno you seem pretty upset about this traumatizing shopping experience, I’m chill about shopping there

bringing up this trauma must be difficult for you but I promise, you will shop at WalMart again. I'll see you there, I will probably be buying some batteries or something like the hundreds of normal people who shop there without incident every day

Buddy I regularly walk into the store that traumatized you like it’s nothing

And yet, you can’t read a complaint about a Walmart without being offended. Must be tough to be in your shoes.

This is not something you describe. But if I had to, id say it’s the opposite of an orgasm.

This the second thread I've seen with DC subredditors slamming that Walmart. I'm with you. I go there and never been bothered by the experience. I don't live close and go out of my way to go there whenever I'm remotely close. I like the store and would consider proximity to the store as a plus. I wish I lived closer and could go more often.

Pipes_of_Pan t1_j2c6xz4 wrote

It was the same narrative around the Columbia Heights Target when it opened. Every store takes some time to figure out staffing and inventory, but you’d see comments section on Prince of Petworth implying that shopping there was like surviving a riot, which of course was absurd. A lot of it is barely coded racism.
