@Foxxee Let's face it Amazon is killing everyone. I was a loyal Walmart shopper and doing away with cashiers, having no one around to ask a question, shelves always empty, in Florida you need to go in with a suit of armour in order to survive with all the carts running around. I have come to hate Walmart, so I have been ordering mostly of Amazon. If Walmart fails, it is their own dumb fault. Just like QVC. Why have these boards if no one is reading them? You have to keep programming interesting and that they are not doing.
Sounds like your Walmart needs a helper. Normally, when a Walmart is so busy, they build another nearby to 10 miles away taking away the pressure from the one or two overwhelmed called "overflow" to handle all the customers. It must be nice to sell so much a retailer has difficulty keeping their shelves stocked. That's the problem. Sometimes, it's a supplier issue.
It's not only Walmart out of things, my busy grocery stores are too.
Walmarts around me still have some cashiers. For assistance, I always go to Customer Service who are there to call someone to help. CS is in the front of the store, not difficult to find.
Just reported, Walmart, Target, Lowes, and TJ Maxx topping all other retailers are doing phenomenally well. 5%+ increase in sales so far this year. Amazon not so much. Amazon is killing quite a few retailers, but not Walmart. Amazon's $249 billion in sales compared to Walmart's $500+ billion last year.
Same as Amazon, Walmart also has a huge online presence offering many more products than in stores. Free shipping, $35 minimum purchase, next day delivery. Placed an order around 11:00 am today. Delivery tomorrow.
I could have ordered the same items at Amazon that were around the same price, but I never get anything in less than 5-7 days directly from Amazon and not interested in paying for Prime. Walmart has nothing like Prime.
Lastly, Walmart doesn't raise prices while I'm looking at them like Amazon does. At least 5 times in the past.
@Foxxee You cannot look at Amazon as only a fast shipping with prime. If you have a Amazon stick you can get a lot of TV with it. I personally love getting things in one to two days. If you use their credit card you get 5% back. Walmart is trying to compete with amazon. Tey just came out with a new credit card. They had syncrony and are now switching to Capitol One giving a 5% back. The problem here is the snow birds. We have several Walmarts about 20min apart. The one closest to my house is a super Walmart. The birds come in and then the scooters come out. They only have 2 cashiers now, and the rest are self check out. I don't see how anyone can compare to Amazon. They have the music, fast shipping, TV programs, special sales for Prime members and more. Yes, some things I buy at Walmart such as my food. I try to go once a month at the most. Walmart dot com is a nightmare. They sent my last order to New York. I live in Florida. I waited 3 weeks to get the order. You can have them. This is not my first issue with the walmart dot com. I am done with them. I like you could not see being a Prime member, but now that I am on my second year, I will never give it up. It pays for itself in a few months. You have to shop around and I do, but Amazon gets most of my business. Having huge bags of dog food delivered is a blessing to me. (just an example) Not sure where you are getting your information because I have heard Walmart is struggling. I also heard Target is closiing some stores in 2020. Who knows. I guess I will shop with whoever is open. LOL
Amazon is starting to show some dents in its armor....
Did you see my post in THIRD QUARTER RESULTS topic....I shared an article where Walmart and Target have caught up to Amazon in order delivery ...and how Amazon took a huge hit in revenues paying for increasing costs of shipping and fulfillment to keep up with their order demands for fast delivery, and also keeping up with the competition thats breathing down their neck too (why would Amazon need to pay for advertising if they were doing so well)...Also too many customers are finding out Amazon is not always the lowest too.....Watch the cost of Prime go up...or the goodies that come along with Prime to be reduced or go away....
I do home delivery through my grocery store....works out to $8.50 a month---get my large bags of cat food, tubs of cat litter, laundry detergent etc etc and other grocery needs delivered in one hour....
Amazon isnt the only game in town....
I think all retailers are going the route of self check....a friend and I were in a recently remodelled Target....employees were stocking and polishing floors...there were no cashiers and the "hostess" said only self check is available no cashiers would be opened....This seems to be the future of in-store shopping...
@Spurt I hope Prime don't go up because that will make me think twice about renewing. I do know that they are not always the cheapest and I do compare. I am not impressed with Walmarts shipping at all. I did read your post, but might have skipped over it as I was wanting to read about Q. I wil go back and read again. It will be interesting to see how the Christmas season turns out for all of them.
Our Walmart was great at one time. It has really gone to the dogs. When the birds come here they cannot seem to keep shelves stocked. I have gone 3 times in one week and still out. I won't do that anymore. I don't care if I have to pay more at the local grocery store. Walmart is getting less and less of my business.
My other complaint is the scooters. Several years ago , I had a broken knee cap and one of them came smashing into my legs. I filed a complaint that they need to limit the amount of scooters in the store. They have many that don't need a scooter, it is just plain lazy. I have seen them get off the scooter and run to their car. I think the online ordering is helping, but I don't like it at all in the Winter. Living here in the Winter is like being in the Alfred Hitchcock movie the Birds!!!! LOL

Sorry to hear about your scooter incident....we are lucky we dont have the "snow bird" and scooter problem here.....
Let me say this....I am not really a Walmart fan....the one closest to me is "THE RETAILER FROM HELL"....the employees are rude to customers, they argue with one another over who should be stocking and who should be a cashier---meanwhile customers are waiting in a long line to get checked out....the store is dirty, merchandise is thrown on the floor blocking aisles ..And this store is located in a nice part of town.......their grocery selection is AWFUL especially their produce...
I ordered an item from them online...it was thrown in a box without any packing and looked like it had been used ....
BUT there are a couple of really nice Walmarts, they are very clean, well organized, the employees are helpful and friendly, and their merchandise is interesting....so these stores changed my views about Walmart..... But actually I prefer Target...but that may change if they go strictly self check out which takes way too long.....
