Walmart Supercenter

It’s Walmart… you expect to walk into a freak show and hate your experience. It feels like animal planet every time I walk into this place and I loathe my time spent in there. That said, you can’t beat the price of Walmart. The food selection really isn’t too bad here either. However, I am giving this place two stars because of the employees. I once had to check out with the angriest person I have ever seen in my life. She wore a scowl so wicked I coined her The Scowler Monkey… she never said a word to me all the while she rang in my things and sent me on my way… this woman was in serious hellish internal agony, as if her loins were ripping straight through from her rectum as she stood there swiping. But then again, can you blame her? I had to spend 30 minutes in there, she has to spend the entire day. I hope she finds Jesus.

Something about this place always has me coming back for more, similar to pizza street on an empty stomach. This fresh coat of paint is really adding a nicer and more «Target» feel to the place. I did recently find speakers marked $ 10 higher than I saw earlier this week on Amazon, but that isn’t stopping me from shopping at my local super center. Walmart is the heart of this community, providing all its citizens with access to food, clothes, gifts, and appliances at reasonable prices. Honestly I cannot say where I would be in my life without my living room couch and daily snacks provided by, you guessed it, this super center. God bless the USA and God bless Walmart.

A better Wal-​Mart than most, possibly because of it’s proximity to the center of the Wal-​Mart universe. KC is likely the biggest, closest city to Bentonville Arkansas and so gets a lot of management visits.
Big, bright, well stocked, with an actual greeter who was paying attention, I popped into this Wal-​Mart to pick up a replacement USB charger as I had forgotten to bring mine. Easy to find, easy to pay for, it was inexpensive and it did what I needed it to do and was probably a quarter the price of buying one at an electronics big box store.
Decent parking lot with lots of available spaces.

It’s Walmart! Every single time I go there, there is a line. I’m not talking about 5 people in 15 lanes, I mean 10 people in 5 lanes! C’mon! Open up more lanes to check out in. Why even other having a self check-​out lane if it’s NEVER EVER open? It’s completely frustrating, yet I continue to go, why? Because it’s Walmart.

I was searching for the limited edition Sporting KC beer that was released by Boulevard Brewing Co. I called the store off Boardwalk Ave in Kansas City, MO to see if they carried it, before I drove there. When I called, I was immediately transferred by the system to the fitting room.
I asked the woman on the line if they had the product. She answered, «This is the fitting room,» in a pretty sassy voice. «Well this is where I was transferred. Is there anyone else I could talk to?» I asked. She didn’t answer me, but instead I heard her yell to someone else, «Do we have Sporting beer!!!» She yelled it again. She then got back on the phone, and said, «Yeah, I think we do.» «So you do?» I asked. «I just said that,» she replied. «Ok, thank you.»
So I headed to the Boardwalk Walmart. When I arrived, I couldn’t find the beer. I found a worker and asked him. He had no idea what I was talking about. He said he would go find someone. 10 minutes later, and I’m still standing in the store, with no one to help me, as the man disappeared. I finally walked to find him, and he was in a different section. «Do you have the beer?» «Yeah, they’ve never heard of it.»
I left extremely frustrated, a complete waste of time. I left, then proceeded to call the same store. The same woman from the fitting room answered. «Hello, are you the one I talked with about the Sporting KC beer?» Pause. «You called earlier, yeah.» I then proceeded to ask her to next time ensure that you all carried the beer, before I trekked all the way out there and wasted my time. Without an answer, she HUNG UP the phone on me. No apology, no answer. Just click.
Feeling completely disrespected, I call back. «May I speak with your supervisor?» «If I can find one.» The woman set the phone down, and never came back. I was never able to reach a supervisor, I’m guessing because she never called for one. This is the most unfortunate experience I’ve ever had, and will not be shopping with Walmart again.

Is it worth it to stand in line for twenty miniutes for a 8 percent savings?

Ok… lets start with the GOOD first:
— They do have a good selection of products (nice sized automotive, camping, hardware, pets, clothing, hardware and toy department)
— Has a large food department
— and It is open 24 hours (this is a major plus)
So now for the BAD:
— Its loud, they love to use the overhead speakers for everything, and it quickly gets tiresome. Sometimes it is hard to carry on a conversation because of the loudspeakers.
— Poorly staffed registers. Really, this is the time I want to actually give them money… and they make it hard for me to do this simple task. This seems to be the rule that there is never enough registers open… even during peak times.
— In the mornings they have all staff meetings… and if you are there when that happens, you will find ONE REGISTER OPEN. Freaking worst management decision since the Hindenburg. Why would you take everyone off the floor? I know you need to orient the staff, but what about the customers?
— Tight parking spots and a poorly designed parking lot makes parking a nightmare.
— Under trained staff seem to not know how to perform basic customer service. For example, I don’t need the checkout clerk to read my greeting cards, or trying to carry on a lengthy conversation with me when checking out. Asking me about my day is being friendly… Asking me about what car I drive is creepy.
All in all, I go here if I must. It is someplace I avoid if I can. I actually prefer to go across the street to Target which has much better customer service, nice product selection, and similar prices.

All in one shopping. Yea! So, the good part about Wal-​Mart is that it is a all in one stop shop. You can literally get just about everything that you need in this place. WalMart has stream lined the stores they have, so some are Neighborhood stores that are basically big grocery stores. This one is a Super Walmart, so you can get a birthday cake, oil change, a riding lawn mower, LED tv, a rotisserie chicken, cell phone, landscaping, semi gloss paint for your kitchen, a drill, brown sugar, and checking account from American Express.
There is always a row or two in the back by the cat and dog products that is a clearance superhighway. It’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. I suggest getting a juice or soda and take you time. If you are a person that can not handle disorganization and things piled sky high — don’t go in. Stick to the regular isles. The clearance is not for the faint of heart.
They keep it clean. I would not suggest Sunday as a day to go. It is pretty busy. Otherwise, save money and continue shopping my friends.

Not a particularly attractive store. I don’t knock Walmart as they offer really low prices on things most people need. In other words, politics aside, they give the consumer a break. This store is more convenient than the Hyvee but I think the Hyvee has a better selection as well as better produce. Decent selection of health and beauty products and over the counter meds. Usually the check out lines move pretty fast.
This store hardly carries everything and I’ve left a few times empty handed. Sunday night seems to be busy and shopping Saturday night is depressing. The woman behind me in line was fighting with her soon-​to-​be-​ex over child custody and his girlfriend’s car. Not enjoyable.

The mechanics at the Tire Center at this WalMart turned what could have been a disastrous evening into a perfectly survivable one. My car died when trying to leave work (everyone’s worst nightmare), but with the help of a jumpstart, I was able to putter to their garage. I’m always leery of mechanics, because since I’m a woman, I’ve had experiences with them trying to sell me parts I didn’t need. These guys, however, were AWESOME. They came out and tested my battery right away. I needed a new one, and so they replaced it within ten minutes. The guys were all super friendly, especially the Tire Center Manager, who took it upon himself to change my battery so an employee could go to lunch. We chatted the entire time he was replacing it, which shows how much he cares about his customers. I figured while I was there I may as well have my tires changed, and he took the time to go over all my options, not trying to sell me the most expensive sets, as people have done in the past. I was able to get my tires changed and my battery switched around in an hour. I had gone there expecting to spend a ton, but the price was super reasonable, expecially for my tires, 225−50-R17s, which are ususally expensive and hard to come by. So instead of leaving pissy, as I normally do from car places, I left feeling completely satisfied and relieved. I’ll definitely be taking my car here again. These guys rock!

After watching the commercial regarding the Choice Meat served in a California Restaurant I decided to try it. The meat looks good but is tough. I grilled it to 140 degrees which was medium. If you were to grill to medium well you would be able to cut it let alone eat it. The cut of meat was the New York Strip and cost $ 17.95. I would suggest staying away from the Walmart meat market.

Nutters and loons beware: people more depressing and degenerate then you frequent this military-​style store.

It is your average post 2000 walmart.
