Walmart Supercenter

Honestly I hate to shop at Walmart. Big store, bad corporate reputation, nightmare parking lot, sometimes clueless or, most likely poorly trained associates… I go when I am despite. Tonght was one of those nights. I was looking for 2 specific items. (mouse traps and stick matches) I, couldn’t find either, asked and was given bad advice by an associate. eventually found another associate, KATIE, who I realized was ON break. Respecting her time, I started to walkaway. Then she said…” but I can help you.” She directed me and even walked with me to one item and gave me the exact location of the other. the 5 stars I am giving this walmart has nothing to do with the store. I would probably give it a 2, 3 at most. the 5 stars are for Katie, a cashier, who took time from her break to help me. kudos to Katie… and to the manager, «hire more Katies».

This is great store SOME Workers are Polite n Helpful. .
ironically the cashers are very Nice .Jon.

We only have a dinkly little Walmart where I live (Newport). This place is huge, the employees are so friendly and helpful. You don’t have to seek out employees to ask for help. At my Walmart they practically hide if they see anybody coming that looks like they might ask a question, and if you do, you’ll get a «Wait a minute let me get someone for you who works in this department. I work in bedding.» and you never see any employee again. This place has everything (at cheaper prices too), and even things you didn’t even know you wanted until you saw it!

This new Walmart seems nice, new and neat and the staff was friendly on my first visit. Compared to other Super Walmart Center the interior layout was the same. The access is quite different. Because the building has no road frontage one must travel behind a large mall in decline and park on an angel in at least the first row of parking spaces. No problem for people familiar with the area.
Still I does every Walmart have to be a super center. I miss the older smaller Walmart attached to the Swansea Mall. The store was more compact and neater and cleaner than the Walmarts in my area. The store had mall access which also made this store unique. Other complained the old location was not well stocked but the music and electronic department was always stocked. When Walmart was attached to the mall I could easily compare prices with other mall stores too.
With the next door mall half empty with an empty anchor one wonders why Walmart and mall mgmt did not work together to build the super center attached to the mall either at the previous Walmart location or at the former Apex location.

If I have to shop in a Walmart, its most likely going to be this one.
There is a Walmart in practically every town and I pass 2 on the way to this one, but this one is the exception. Its cleaner than most of the other ones, maybe because its new and it hasn’t gotten bad yet! and the employees and clientele are friendly. Something you rarely see in a Walmart (I’m used to Black Friday when people are shoving each other out of the way to get to that last TV!)
This is the one Walmart that is always well stocked, whenever I come in here with a list, whether it be 3 items or 50 items. they have everything I need. On the rare occasions that I haven’t been able to find something, I get a friendly response from the associate that I ask for help.
The bakery is fantastic, I haven’t bought anything from the deli, but the bakery is great, everything looks like something you’d want to serve (and the prices are half what you’d pay in a neighboring supermarket!) the meat department is also great, I know nothing is packaged there, but it looks good and I’m confident that when I eat something from there, I’ll wake up the next morning!
I needed help in the photo department last time I was there and even though the girl was on her way out for her lunch break, she stopped and made sure I was all set before she left and told me someone else would be over to cover the department in a few minutes. Most employees would just leave. I appreciated the great customer service.
I’ve never dealt with any of the cashiers because they have a self checkout and that’s easier for me, however the person working in the self checkout is always available if I need any help or have any questions, and they’re friendly when they answer.
This store also has a Subway, which I haven’t tried, but it smells SO good, and a nail salon, which I was tempted to try today, but I had frozen food, so decided to wait til next time.
I’ve only dealt with the service desk once, when I had to make a return and the girl was really nice and helpful.
If you have a choice of Walmart’s, go to this one, you’ll notice the difference!

As much as I don’t like the evil empire that is WalMart, I do shop there. When I heard that a Walmart SuperCenter would be opening in my town I figured I would be a regular shopper there instead of frequenting the Seekonk and Raynham locations.
I visited this location for the first time and I was definitely underwhelmed. While I realize that WalMart is a discount store, the feel of this store screams discount more than some of their other locations. There are poorly done cement-​like floors and a super high ceiling. I felt like I was shopping in a giant warehouse.
Don’t get me wrong, this store is massive, the biggest WalMart I’ve ever been in and the prices on everyday items are lower than other stores. All departments are expanded compared to a regular WalMart and even the grocery areas are larger than other SuperCenters I’ve been to. The employees were all friendly, all gazillion of them that were working today. I would expect there to be enormous layoffs at this location after Christmas.
All in all I wasn’t wowed and I think I will continue to shop at the Seekonk and Raynham locations.

It’s confusing to everyone (even the employees) that this store has two doors. If you really think about it, most Walmarts you have been to have one door. This is also an interesting store in the sense it has a deli, bakery and meats section. It’s more of a regular supermarket than other Walmarts. They only have a Subway here, no dunkin’ donuts. It is however, still a Walmart. And I still hate Walmarts. But if I had to rate this one against other Walmarts, this one would rate higher for the sheer size and the parking lot is pretty ok. I’m still waiting for you to wow me Walmarts!
