| - I had a not-so-typical GREAT visit to the Wal-Mart located in the Mesa Riverview shopping plaza this past weekend. This was my first time entering into this particular location, so my expectations were already low, but to my surprise it was THE nicest Wal-Mart's I have ever visited. The store was clean, the layout was open and it had great little showcases around the store in various departments. This however wasn't the best part of my shopping experience. The lines were somewhat long, but I wasn't in a hurry and I didn't feel like checking myself out, since I had a lot of coupons (and from experience that can be a pain, someone is always having to "override" every coupon I scan.. annoying). Anyhow, the cashier that I had was phenomenal, she was totally unique from what you normally expect from a Wal-Mart cashier. She was friendly, personable, and accommodating. I bring my own canvas bags, which usually I've been known to get the eye roll and snarl under their breath, but she actually noticed them in my cart and asked, "I see you have your own bags, lets use them up!" She never once acted like it was an inconvenience, rather the latter, she embraced it and commented how much she likes using them herself. Then, I showed her all the coupons I had and she had me hang onto them until the end. In the middle of the transaction, some notebook dividers scanned wrong and again she voided them out and called for a price check, I felt like a Queen, 2 young ladies showed up within a minute of the call and had an answer for us before we completed the sale. She scanned all my coupons, made small talk and was just pleasant the entire time. Now, I realize Wal-Mart is never known to be a great service provider, rather known as the joke to most for just the opposite. I felt strongly enough about my visit this weekend that I couldn't wait to Yelp about it.
