Our Walmart

FlowerBear — Wed, 17 Jul 2019 14:09:18 GMT

Lately in this heat and humidity our Walmart is barely cooler than the outside temp! It is not a place you can even get cool. Our Kroger is so cool you want to stay in for a long time! I am sure Walmart can afford to turn the AC up! Having asthma it is actually hard to be in there.

Long lines and soo slow. Not everyone wants to go use the self check lines but I do sometimes when it is taking a super long time to get thru the line.

They really need to address these issues!

Today when I was in Walmart, there are signs everywhere where things are out of stock, saying they are trying hard to get them back.

Being our only store that is a dept type store this is all just not good.

Yes I have put my two cents in to the Manager and the Walmart online corporate site. Not that it will help.

I hate when stores have "barely there" AC. They probably get customers that say it is too cold when they turn it up higher but I can't deal with that phony AC in these stores. I like when stores are cold lol

The doors open so many times during the day that it is hard to keep the store cool.I think during high humidity the air conditioner can’t keep up.The empty shelves problem is something corporate should get notified about though if they want to stay profitable.

Their AC maybe running over time during this heat wave. Super hot is tough on AC units. It just cant keep up.

Hope the problem is solved soon. And I hope you gave the WM management encouraging words during their troubles.

My WM opens at 5am and I'm usually there when the doors open on Sunday mornings. I've never felt it too hot or too cold inside, except by the cooler and freezer sections...that will always be cold over there for me. I don't spend a lot of time there but for the most part it's comfortable inside my WM store.

@FlowerBearI'd probably be more comfortable at your Walmart temperature than at Kroger's, but I would not be happy with the empty shelves- I've lived in areas where there's not much shopping choice, so I know what frustration that must be.

I've never noticed a Walmart store being warm, in fact just the opposite - comfortably cool. It might be your particular store's attempt to save money. I wonder who makes the store's temperature decision.....corporate or individual store managers.

I would think all the ceiling and other lights in any large store give off a lot of heat that contributes to the airco having to work harder keeping the place comfortable during hot spells.

I imagine in these types of buildings it is difficult to maintain temperatures during times of extreme heat or cold. If these conditions affect us adversely unfortunately we have to alter our plans the best we can. One place I hate to be in when the AC isn't working well is a clothing store. It seems various materials (ie carpeting, clothing, product) in the store absorbs that heat and humidity and emits odor.

I just hope the electrical grid doesn't falter from overuse.

I'm not sure that has anything to do with the issue.

Any Walmart I have ever been to had a double entrance. You enter into an enclosed lobby of sorts (for lack of a better word) then again through another set of doors into the store.

Okay, that can be reason #20 why I don't like going to Wal-Mart!

Shop there in the evenings when it's cooler.

VOTE WITH YOUR FEET!!!!

Whining and moaning here ain't gonna do much. Talking to the store manager is probably as useless.

I find it hard to believe a Walmart is warm....a.n.y.w.h.e.r.e.

I’ve shopped in their newest/fanciest location here in DFW

to the most country-of-outback-country of Walmart’s...

both in the middle of summer....and never once was

temperature an issue.

Having this conversation wrapped around ‘long lines’ complaint,

as well as ‘out of stock’ complaint...it’s the bi-weekly ‘bag on Walmart’

thread. Hard to believe summer, kids, and back to school shopping

might exist....shock😮

This is the first year its been this way at the Walmart, the AC.

I dont mind things not in stock at all. That is not a problem for me, just will look next time.

Thanks for nice replies

Well Im not whining and moaning. Just commenting on the issue espec having the asthma its hard being in a store that is not cooler than the outside.

I would not be saying that they are just trying to save money on their AC bill. Perhaps they have an older AC system in that store?
