Walmart Supercenter

As far as Walmarts go this one is fairly average. Not overly nice and definitely not the worst one I’ve been to.
It is a «super» Walmart, which translated means it also has groceries for those not familiar.
So not to drone on and on about what Walmart has to offer… I will instead provide a list of fun things to do at Walmart (from
)
Funny pranks to do at Walmart (Do at your own risk)
Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in peoples carts when they aren’t looking.
Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-​minute intervals.
Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.
While an associate is trying to tell a customer about a high priced item. Look interested in the same item. and say you can get it cheaper online!
Walk up to an employee and tell him/​her in an official tone, ‘Code 3′ in housewares… and see what happens.
Move a ‘CAUTION — WET FLOOR’ sign to a carpeted area.
Look right into the security camera, use it as a mirror and pick your nose.
When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask ‘Why can’t you people just leave me alone?‘
Dart around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the theme from «Mission Impossible.»
Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say «PICK ME!» «PICK ME!»
Ask an associate for entry into the fitting room, shut the door and wait a while and then yell loudly «There is no toilet paper in here!»
Re-​dress the mannequins as you see
Hold indoor shopping cart races.
Two words: «Marco Polo.»
When someone steps away from their cart to look at something, quickly make off with it without saying a word.

It’s WalMart so it is what it is. Most of you know there are the good WalMarts and the bad ones. This one in Evans is one of the better ones. Why do I say that? Well pour yourself a beverage and have a read. I like the fact that there were an adequate open registers but of course this was mid afternoon. The self service registers were abundant as many WalMart removed these conveniences due to the large amount of thefts occurring at the self checkout. Overall this WalMart is clean and it is rare but the people who work there are actually friendly.

=== PHARMACY ===
They have one job. They cant do that one job. Go to CVS or Walgreens, both all of a minute away at Washington & Bel Air.
Put in a prescription a month ago. Never got the call to pick it up. So, after waiting a month (it was a non-​critical prescription) I just showed up and asked about it. The girl at the counter ran around a bit, confused and checking on it. Then she consulted the head pharmacist and returned stating that they had it in the system, but it was something they had to order, so they were going to put that in now. I was understandably perturbed, but they were less than apologetic. The girl at the counter got a bit of an attitude with me and said «well, I dont know who you talked to, but we’re going to have to order it.» WRONG ANSWER! The first words out of her mouth should have been «I’m sorry sir, we’ll get that ordered for you». Instead, she immediately begins making excuses for their lack of ability to execute the ONE THING that they need to do at Walmart.
So, to clarify, I submitted my prescription a month ago. They have it in the system. They did not bother to order it. So now I’m w/​o my prescription for a month plus however long it’s going to take for them to order it and receive it and call me to let me know its here. Sorry, I cant wait ANOTHER month while you clowns figure out how to do your jobs.

It’s nice but can never find someone when I need help. How is that store running if there are no salesfloor workers??? Mystery…

–Automotive Center–
Couple months ago my wife’s car had a blow out. I brought the rim and the tire in to get a new one. The Automotive center was not busy at all, I believe I remember their only being one car in the bays, very unusual for Wal-​Mart especially on a Saturday afternoon. I brought the tire in, spoke to the cashier, and purchased the tire. The lady said we will get right on it. Thought to myself awesome in and out and I can get this tire back on the car. So my son and I just took a very leisurely walk around Wal-​mart and we came back to the Automotive Center about an hour and ½ later. I went up to the cashier and asked her if we were good to go. She said that there were still working on it… Still working on it?!? It’s a freakin tire change… I wasn’t getting my engine replaced. So, I sat down in the waiting room and watched TV. I happen to look out the window that was overlooking the bays, and I noticed something… well I noticed «nothing.» There was absolutely no one there. I once again asked the cashier about my tire and she very angrily told me «Sir, we’ll get to it when we get to it.» My take on it is this… take your car to a more reputable automotive place. I understand that this Wal-​mart may seem to be more convenient, but you may end up like me, sitting in a Wal-​Mart waiting room for three hours just to have your tire changed. Very disappointed, Customer Service was horrible, and I will NOT be come to the automotive center here ever again.

Called to check to see if they had a item that I was looking for, they had no one in a 24 hour SUPER STORE that could check to see if the item was in stock. Lousy customer service if you are trying to find a item without running all over town.

Auto area well stocked

I know what you’re thinking… He’s reviewing a Wal-​Mart??? WTF!?? Aren’t they all the same? The same white walls, and cheap clothes, food, etc.
Well, let me tell you. Live in Augusta, and you’ll soon see not all Wal-​Marts are created equal.
This Wal-​Mart is located in Evans, GA. I remember with fondness the day that this Wal-​Mart was opened. It was a big deal in the small town, and cheerleaders from the local high school were at the Wal-Mart…doing what cheerleaders do…(no.no. not what you’re thinking… they were CHEERING… sheesh)
Okay so what are you thinking… how can I rate a wal-​mart?
Well here it goes.
1) Cleanliness– As far as this wal-​mart goes I’d rate it at about a 4 or a 5. Since they are servicing a middle to upper class clientele, they keep this wal-​mart fairly clean, and the employees are friendly enough, and will willingly help you find what you’re looking for.
2) Service– Sometimes the service can be lacking though and so that’s why I would give the service a 3 or a 4. Sometimes you’ll just get the wrong person in the wrong department, or sometimes you won’t see a Wal-​Mart employee anywhere, but I’ve seen this happen at a lot of wal-​marts.
3) Traffic– What I mean by traffic is how busy the place is. It’s busy. Hell it’s wal-​mart. That, and the growth of the town of Evans from 10,000 to 100,000 people… I mean… that happens. This is not a place you want to go before a holiday like Christmas, in fact I believe pretty much any Wal-​Mart is hell around those days. Yet, you can usually check out fairly quickly if you go at the right times, and besides this place is open pretty much 24/​7, so if you really want to avoid the crowds, go early or go late. As far as actual vehicular traffic, it’s not too bad. They do only have one main entrance, which can get a little backed up on busy days. So I give that a 4 as well.
***BONUS INFO! FOR FUTURE WORKERS ONLY!***
So when I was in high school I had a friend who worked at Wal-​Mart and so they filled me in on what it’s like to work here. The pay isn’t too shabby and if you’re a college kid or a high school kid trying to earn some extra cash it’s an okay bet. Yet, you are usually randomly put in a section, and it can feel very monotonous. Constantly rearranging the same stuff over and over again, but if you can get past that, it’s not too bad and they usually pay a higher wage than most fast food joints, and the work isn’t too hard. So yeah. If you REALLY want to work at Wal-​Mart go ahead. No one’s stopping you.
