Walmart

Firstly, yes I am aware I’m reviewing wally world and giving them 1 star. This isn’t surprising to anyone, I get it.
The reason for my review is to warn fellow shoppers not to buy too much if you actually want to get it into your car. This store (maybe all of them… I try to stay away from this store as much as humanly possible) has these barriers that don’t allow the carts into the parking lot. I mean I get WHY we don’t want Toronto’s finest taking a cart home with them but I also need to load my crap into my car!!!
What is wrong with you people?
Also, the shelves were near bare. So there’s also that.

9am and y’all have shopping carts piled up at the front blocking the entrance! GET REAL!
The express line is the slowest line I’ve ever been in and I been to the Behemoth at Wonderland on Canada day sans fast lane pass. You guys do NOT care.

They don’t answer their phone. If they do, they physically pick up the receiver and they hang up. They don’t know what they have and don’t have. Every employee I asked for help told me a different answer with such confidence and none of them resulted in my finding what I wanted. No offended Walmart but maybe you should educate your employees a little more. Or pay them better so they actually care.

I always get my eyes tested at the vision center in walmart. They have doctors on site.
The fees are low and the exams are pretty thorough (glaucoma check, cataracts etc).
There aren’t really any major designer frames, but simple glasses for low prices readily available.

I’m always broke and when I need to put a nice meal together while working with only a few bucks I can always depend on going to Wal-​Mart for discounted prices.
The fruits and vegetables always taste bland and seem to always be coated in a thick wax, its never a good feeling while eating the eggs but you can’t beat those prices!
I hate going to «The Duff Wal-​mart» because it’s ALWAYS PACKED! and the Indian lady in front of me standing in line is always asking for a price check because she has clearly ripped the tag off the shoes! JUST PAY FOR THEM! Other then that… it’s Wal-​Mart, You know what you are getting into when you visit.

I should definitely know better than to go to Dufferin Mall on a Saturday afternoon and especially Walmart as it’s always crowded and chaotic, but I was on one of my WInners/​Marshalls mission. Plus I don’t venture to this mall often, so thought I may as well go to Walmart because I needed some things. I have to admit, they definitely offer some really good every day low prices.
The store layout is typical of most Walmarts, but manoeuvring around the crowds is a bit challenging especially when carts, strollers and wandering kids are involved. Walmart will definitely test your patience. Luckily for me, I’m usually in and out of the store as quickly as I can.
Lineups for checkouts always tend to be very long with everyone queuing at the closest cash, but I usually go to the far end, since there’s usually only 2 or 3 customers in line.
Walmart should really initiate a number calling system where everyone lines up in one line and go to the next available cash when called — very effective at other stores. Why can’t Walmart adopt this system already? It would definitely streamline their customer service and perhaps then the cashiers won’t be too stressed and will actually be friendly.
I don’t think I ever experience good customer service from any of the cashiers, except perhaps on two occasions and that was a very long time ago, perhaps that’s maybe why I almost forgot.

Always out of stockkkk !!! And because is about the only walmart that is close from my home, i really depend on that one. So i was going to walmart to get some single eyelashes for my clients and they runned out of stock and after 2 weeks i came back to see if they renew they stock… No luck! After a month same thing. So i had to go everytime, super far to get to another walmart. Yup!

D-​Mall Wal-​Mart! I’m a sucked for box stores, and this is as close as they get in that part of the city. Look — it’s cute. It has a washroom hidden behind doors of doom, and it’s often dirty. The escalator that moves your cart breaks down more than it should, leaving you to figure out how you’re going to reclaim all your well selected products.
The employees are less helpful than the price scanners you can never seem to find. Item locations rarely make sense. The Wi-​fi they offer is cute, as it’s spotty as anything. But… for some reason it keeps drawing me in.
This should be a 1 star review, but I just feel… better… when I’m in that store.
Note: This is not an effect of all Wal-​Marts. This strange euphoria only exists at D-​Mall. Must be something in the fluorescent lights.

Right across the street from Dufferin Grove Park, this Walmart is part of the Dufferin Mall. The nice thing about this store and mall is how well they are integrated into the cityscape around it. Nothing too fancy and surrounded by a typical Toronto west end neighbourhood on all sides. The typical offensiveness of a Walmart store surrounded by acres of asphalt is substituted by a two level design that doesn’t impinge on the mall itself. There’s free parking underground where you can strategically park near the lower level doors for easy access. The dungeon feel to the lower level is compounded by no cell reception and longer than real-​life wait times in the cash lineups as a result. It seems the lines are shorter in the lower level so keep that in mind.

This is probably my favourite Walmart un the GTA. Sinply due to the fact it has smaller traffic than others and the staff are a lot more friendly than the other Walmarts I have been to.
This Walmart is fairly tidy and they open bright and early at 7am. With the McDonald’s inside it’s helpful as I used to work early mornings and it was nice to be able to get a breakfast and buy some household goods before heading off to work. The staff at that McDonald’s inside are probably the nicest I’ve met working at the golden arches!
Overall we all need to go to a Walmart at some point in the week and this one is my go to for such occasions!

Closest Wal-​Mart to me and probably the worst in customer service. The employees just don’t care. They do however consistently keep up with the stock, I’ve visited other locations that don’t and I can usually find the item there. Location is good right by dufferin subway.

The only reason to shop at Walmart is because of the low prices which to me aren’t that much lower than Amazon or going to Metro for groceries. Not much to say in a review about Walmart since everyone knows what they’re getting into when they go but the reason why I’m writing this review and giving them one star is because of the service. I’ve only had one good customer service experience ever here, other than it ranges from terrible to slightly below mediocre. I would buy a lot more here but I end up going other places so I don’t have to deal with the employees.

Very crowded & always busy walmart. some of the products are out of stock. .
Otherwise not bad. employees seem friendly and prices decent.

There are times in life when one *needs* to go to a Walmart. This is the only downtown Walmart, so when these moments strike, this is my go to location.
Things you can do at this location include: buy groceries, get your eyes checked, have your passport photo taken, buy a BBQ, watch children have total meltdowns, etc. According to the employees «the weirdos come out on Saturdays,» so avoid this ‘Mart on weekends whenever possible.
It connects into the Dufferin Mall and the parking lot houses a KFC + Taco Bell + Pizza Hut trifecta, which is obviously a blast.
PEPPER’S PISSED at corporate America.

Took a client shopping and I ended up buying some new spring clothes as well! Staff were very helpful when we ended up with the last pair of shoes that had no price tag! Good selection, clean and tidy store.

2.5** — I think Wal-​Mart can still fall under Free-​Food February! Although there is food (grocery), it clearly falls under the Shopping category!.. plus this is getting harder and harder so I think this will pass :)
I had no idea there is a wal-​mart in downtown Toronto. I was actually going to No Frills (which I cannot write about), and it was so busy that we had to park quite far away from the main grocery entrance. That is when I saw the WAL-​Mart sign and decided to drop in to see what we could find. The place was huge, with everything at a decent price. Large, mugs, towels, irons, etc… that seemed oh so affordable. Little did I know or expect to see PRODUCE. so that is when I started to do part of my shopping there. Deals are definitely comparable to the regular grocery stores, if not cheaper. The fresh food looked OKAY… but the perishables had most of the same selection.
However, the cashier line was along as ever. People were moving so slowly and it didn’t seem like service was their ultimate priority. If I had more time, I definitely would have taken the time to walk the aisles, and look for some new items for the house. Not sure what else is offered inside Dufferin Mall but I think it would be worth exploring.

Grande surface comparable à notre Carrefour et Auchan nationaux. Il est toujours interessant d’y faire un tour afin de voir comment consommé la société canadienne c’est à dire beaucoup !
Les VISA internationales sont acceptées sans problème.

I don’t have to tell you much about Wal-​Mart.
I like this location because it remains open even when Dufferin Mall is closed.
Monday — Saturday 7:00 am — 11:00 pm
Sunday 7:00 am — 9:00 pm
Beware of the guy at the escalator. (Yes, he is always there.)
He is the sheriff in town and has a comment/​remark on everything.
He also has very little patience/​understanding when it comes to toddlers sitting in the shopping cart or other crimes in «his» store.
Fortunately for him he doesn’t have to deal with the temper tantrum of a 2-​year old after you put him in the shopping cart in the ‘proper way’.
But he is polite and otherwise friendly in his ignorance.
I always try to avoid the escalator, take the elevator and circle around him otherwise in an interesting hide-​and-​seek scenario during my shopping adventures at the Dufferin Wal-​Mart.

I moved near Dufferin Mall a couple of weeks ago, and of course when you move into a new apartment you realise there’s a lot of things you need to purchase to improve your living experience… I required things like curtain rods, blinds, lightbulbs, sink faucets and other home items that I reluctantly knew Walmart would carry.
They do in fact carry everything you need, but the overall experience of being in this department store shit storm is pretty unbearable at times. Of course it’s a Walmart so it goes without saying that people are walking around like ignorant zombies, pushing their overflowing shopping carts while their kids are throwing temper tantrums. You’d be foolish to think the Walmart experience is going to be any different.
My beef is that no matter what section of checkouts you hit up (there appears to be 4 – 5 locations based on the various exits) there’s always a huge line-​up. The other day I went to buy a pack of six dollar drill bits and had to wait in line for 20 minutes along with about 30 other people. And these are the «express lanes.» Usually only about 30% of the checkouts are actually open at any given time. The other day I had to make a return and that too seemed to take forever.
Maybe I’m new to the Walmart scene, but finding what you’re looking for seems to take forever. I get that all the clothes are upstairs and the home items are downstairs, but once you get down to that lower level you’re kind of on your own. Maybe I’m just not noticing the signs, but trying to find the bathroom section made me feel dumb.
Even though I dislike Walmart in general it’s hard to resist a giant department store down the road from me. I just try to tune out the noise pollution and surly workers. I also don’t kid myself and am now fully prepared to wait in unnecessarily long lines.

I used to have ideals and boycott Wal-Mart…then I grew up and started working and paying bills and gave up my morals.
I remember this WalMart since I was a little girl and its the only one I know…
Dont dare going in there if you dont have a really, really long time.
Its in mall and its huge, like every Wal-​Mart, and central, which is why I like it.
There’s even a grocery section now which is cool but weird. Also good because it has a vision centre, electronics…
So crowded at all times.

This location is a Supercentre so its even more confusing than it needs to be. This store’s layout takes a little getting used to as it’s split between two floors instead of being all on one like your used to.
This particular location never seems to be overly clean, nor do they ever seem to have enough cashiers working.
Other than that it’s your typical Wal-​mart with blue-​haired lady greeters and people ready to run you over in a second on their motorized wheelchairs.

Brup brup!
One of my friends lives near this Wal-​Mart and we’ve found ourselves here on many occasions. It is a big Wal-​Mart conveniently located at Dufferin mall, and they have a big food section too.
However, our last experience was so frustrating that we made a pact…
A promise to never set foot in this Wal-​mart again!
* Someone sniped my parking spot, but we didn’t make a fuss because you don’t want to get shot.
* They were completely out of carts… we hunted around for a good 20 minutes. Even the staff had no idea why there were no carts. We gave up on trying to buy things and cut our trip short.
* A scary girl fight broke out in the check-​out line.
We just wanted to buy our toilet paper, laundry detergent, and get out alive! …And we’re from Scarborough saying that!
