Walmart Supercenter

Let’s be honest… Walmart Super-​centers are usually not fun to go to. The one at East Colonial is not the exception. This place is always packed, employees seem very annoyed to be there, most of the times I’ve been there, the place is a mess and the services seem mediocre. Prices are good though.

Writing a review on Walmart because I felt that this particular location was pretty good. Organized and clean. Staff was helpful. Crowd was decent. Low stock on some home items but not a big deal. Checkout was quick and painless, no lines at all! Perhaps we came on a good, quiet day. Either way, not a bad experience at this Walmart.

I hate Walmart… With a fiery passion. I would rather spend an extra $ 5 buying whatever I need anywhere else than coming to Wal-​Mart. But occasionally, someone drags me to Wal-​Mart anyways and I’m forced to suffer standing in lines for a longer period of time than it actually took me to shop.
BUT…i have to say, this Walmart is better than any Walmart I’ve been to because the last 3 times I’ve been here there have been TONS of lanes open. Every single time there has been 4 or 5 lanes open with no wait or with just one person waiting. While i normally wouldn’t review Walmart because I feel like this huge chain is pretty much the same everywhere, I felt like that warranted a review.
So if you too have annoying friends and relatives who insist on making you go to Wal-​Mart, go to this one. It’s less shitty than the rest.

We had a pleasant experience for as far as Walmarts go. It was not super busy at 10 am on Saturday. I found almost everything I needed. We did the self check out and the attendant was right there to approve the alcohol I was buying. I didn’t have to get his attention like most other attendants. They’re usually having conversations with coworkers.

This is your typical Walmart supercenter. A giant store full of everything that you need, and things that you don’t need. This particular location is near UCF. So you will see a lot of college aged customers, and a lot of folks from the residing area.
Walmart has a reputation for having a lot of items, but their customer service is less than desirable.
I have been to this location many many times, but this is the first time I’ve been able to write about it.
And yes the typical crowd that goes between Walmart.

Most disgusting Walmart I’ve encountered, to the one cashier availability at all times and lines out the door to the trash all over the parking a lot. Never returning

I know it’s Walmart, but the employees at this Walmart have no clue what they are doing. Very rude and unhelpful.

Let’s just say… I’m not a fan, at all. Nothing nice to say. I’ve been to every Wal-​Mart in Orlando and I’m never pleased. I’ve learned my lesson. I won’t be back at all

I usually don’t review Walmarts and Publix but, I felt I had to.
It was the Sunday before school starts (UCF), the store looked like it had been looted, and it was absolutely packed. Every employee I asked knew exactly where all the items I needed.
I’ve been to many Walmart, and it usually ends with me asking «Why do I keep putting myself through the horror that is Walmart?» It was not the case in this instance.
I also got everything that I went for.

Love love love… Keeps u buying more… Wonderful staff… Fast lines… Clean… Good atmosphere

This is by far the worst Walmart I’ve ever been in! The guy in the fishing/​camping center was really rude! We asked if he could look up a tent to see if an area store had it. He ripped the list of stores off the wall and was annoyed I even asked! He said I’ve worked here 5 months and I’ve never seen it and if it’s online we don’t carry it… ummm ok??? He was too busy with his coffee and his fancy gold watch to care about actual customer service! I have always avoided this location and after today will definitely not bother again!

Like fairly all other Walmarts this one is fairly priced. Lots of action here due to nearby college but no drama. Lots of parking but watch for the construction on 408. Most shoppers are ok but many do leave their shopping carts in parking areas so be careful when pulling into an empty spot. That spot might be occupied by many carts.

When I lived in south Florida I shopped at my local super Walmart all the time instead of Publix in order to save a few bucks. I moved to Orlando and will only come here if I absolutely need to. The store never has enough check out lanes open, it’s dirty, and is always packed. If you are going to go shopping here I suggest going very late at night or super early in the morning. Never on the weekends. This Walmart frequently has some sketchy individuals lurking around. If your a small girl like myself I wouldn’t recommend walking through the parking lot late at night unless you’re with a guy or have your concealed. I now shop at the Publix as it is a overall much nicer and quicker shopping experience.

Worst service, disorganized, no help or friendly encounters with staff. Even when you try to speak to a manager or they see a problem they avoid it. The only reason this place is functioning and open is because it’s one of the few places that are open 24 hours a day and sell just about everything for a reality why low price. But my sanity is not worth it. Boycotting this place. If only publix bought out walmart the world would be a better place.

This is a walmart, dirty, chaotic, never enough lines open, etc. Sometimes I’ll go to the store when I want to change of scenery.

As Walmart stores go, this one certainly failed to impress.
So I’m in the novelty tee section minding my business when a panhandler walks right up to me asking for money, INSIDE the store. I’m 6’1, and I thought this dude was pretty big. On our way out he asked me for money again, forgetting he’d already spoken to me. Then her proceeded to ask someone for the cigarette butt they were about to put out. «Hey, don’t waste that,» I think were his words.
Apparently now that Walmart has done away with greeters, there’s nothing to deter panhandlers.

This review pertains to the pharmacy which we had the misfortune to have to deal with today due to my mother who’s visiting from another state and she ran out of her blood pressure medication.
She called Friday, gave all her information and they confirmed that the medication would be ready in an hour. We arrived about four hours later and they told us that they had actually run out of that medication and that it wouldn’t be ready until three days later.
«Well, why didn’t we get a phone call saying as much?»
«oh… Ask the head pharmacist»
«Well, where is he?»
She went over there, a few words were exchanged, he looked up at us and couldn’t obviously be bothered because she came back and said: «Sorry, there’s nothing that can be done»
«We understand that but why couldn’t we get a phone call to go somewhere else instead, you can’t work something out with another Walmart?»
«Ummmm. yeah, the medication isn’t available…» An apology was never given, no offer to call the order to another walmart was never made.
Do yourself a favor, NEVER go to this Walmart for your medication needs.

This is your typical giant Walmart with a supermarket attached and a McDonald’s. The lines are always long but they do have a self check out at one end and that helps a lot. There’s a large kids section and a surprising amount of Disney gear. Get your ears here!

I’m not a fan of Walmart as a company, and I generally try to avoid shopping there. But sometimes we all get desperate.
If you need something at 2 am on the east side of town, this is the place to go. And you may get some free entertainment.
This Walmart is a bit sketchy, it is always crowded, and there are always long lines.
But I have to give them credit because when I desperately need this year’s hot holiday gadget, they’ll have it. And I can check their inventory online before going, so that saves some headache.
Ran in yesterday and picked up a toy I had given up any hope of finding.
So this store isn’t glamorous, and the whole experience can be frustrating, but darn it, Walmart is dependable. Like it or not they have what you need to buy in a pinch.

How does one usually go about reviewing a Wal-​Mart? How is this one any different from the hundreds of locations around the US? What makes this one stand out? lol.

Facts of Wal-​Mart:
–they’re open 24 hours
–they’re always busy, though, no matter what time you go (early mornings — 3am to 9am — are slightly less hectic)
–they have a hundred check-​out lanes (an exaggeration), but only ten will be open (sadly, this part is true)
–their prices are fairly inexpensive, provided what you want is in stock (which it never is)
–you’re going to try to bypass the people ahead of you (who are meandering along at a snail’s pace) and you’re going to crash into the display of cereal in the center of the cart-​way
–hordes of people will be driving their little scooters around (purposely blocking you from the item you need to prolong your miser– err, grocery shopping)
–no matter how focused you are upon entering («I need: eggs, bread, and milk. Get in, get out, easy!»), you exit with none of the original things you needed («Why am I buying a dog collar? I don’t even have a dog.»)
–and, lastly, your cart, no matter how carefully tested or chosen, WILL squeak and have at least one broken wheel that will make you veer off course unless forcefully directed (squeak…squeak…squeak…EEERRRKKK…squeak…)

I wish I could say I’ll never come back. But the truth is, I’ll be back next week and, maybe, hopefully, I’ll end up with a good cart.
