Walmart Supercenter

Okay before I begin in the interest of full disclosure I hate Walmart to begin with. Unfortunately as is the situation for a lot of people we find ourselves forced to go for certain items. If I can I will always shop at target or homeland instead.
With all of that out of the way I will attempt to give an unbiased review and base it on this location.
First, this location is way to small. They have jammed as much as they possibly could. To the point where in most isles you can’t get two carts past each other.
It makes it extremely frustrating and makes you want to get out even faster.
So moving on to things that are within the control of the employees and management. Whoever is in charge of the ordering of merchandise needs to be retrained or just replaced. I can’t count how many times the item I have gone for appears to be the same exact item everyone else wants. That happens, can’t really be avoided right? My problem is that the shelves all around the sold out items are so full they are over flowing. Obviously less of these brands/​items should be ordered and more of the ones that you are constantly selling out of should be. This has been the case countless times for items such as dog food, laundry soap and grocery items just to name a few.
As for the employees, I have had good interactions and bad with them. Some are willing to help and are very polite. However, the other day I was looking for toothpicks and was having trouble finding them. I walked up to an employee in grocery and asked her if she knew where I could find them. She didn’t even look over at me and just simply stated «nope» and continued straightening the items on the shelf. That was it, she never offered to find out for me or point me in the direction of someone that would know. So I made my way over to household goods and located two more employees straightening items on the shelves. I asked them the same question and they both looked at each other before responding «no» and then going back to what they were doing. As I walked away bewildered I observed a full display of toothpicks 1 isle up from where they were working.
You add these issues to the already frustrating and annoying things about Walmart in general like the long lines and empty cash registers and it more than justifies spending a little more to shop at target or homeland and since we are discussing this location particularly target and homeland are very conveniently located near by.

What can I say about Walmart that you don’t already know, so I will just comment on this location. Most of the time the staff are helpful and courteous. They usually have what I am looking for, and I can get out fairly quick.

As usual I am standing in line. Was going to target, but I thought I would give this store another chance. Big mistake. To top it off the cashier is coming down on gum like a cow. Disgusting. Maybe if the store manager came out of his office. He or she could see the car with a mouth full of gum.

Wow, we came here just to get a carton of eggnog. Lines were long and had to just get out of there. My trick was to check the Electronics with no line. We got out in less than 5 minutes. Still, you think they could better handle things before the holidays. Still, this served its purpose for low price and one stop shopping.

The only truly unsatisfactory experiences I’ve had were years apart.
1) Bought a Queen size bed set (comforter, shams, etc.). I got home and opened the bag to wash the items, which I was unaware had been returned previously. There was a VERY strong cigarette odor and missing items. I had been charged the full price for the set.
2) One cashier had the propensity of roughly handling produce. That is, she’d thunk them down rather indelicately onto the scanner and then shove them into a bag without much discern. I strongly dislike overly bruised produce, so I asked her to handle my items less roughly. She became exasperated and started exaggerating each movement so I’d definitely get the message that me not wanting her damaging my produce was like, omg, so uncool of me.
3) I needed a new battery and I took my car to Wal-​Mart to be serviced. I’m assuming there was an apprentice or new guy or something that day, because they put the battery in the wrong way and there was a butt ton of sparks. A rather dumb mistake, in my opinion. I don’t come to Wal-​Mart for service anymore now.
Other than that, I’m pretty content with Wal-​Mart. The automotive people are always helpful whenever I need a key copied, etc. If I forget an item at the register the cashier usually spots it before another customer winds up with it and it’s a relatively painless process to call in and let the service desk know about it.

1 cashier at midnight with 9 people standing in line never gets old.

As much as I loathe Wal-​Mart, when you’re in Oklahoma, you’re kinda stuck going to them. I’ve shopped at this one a bunch when I lived in Stillwater for college, because I have family in Yukon.
This Wal-​Mart, in general, is better than most because the selection is HUGE. They have a TON of hair products and makeup. The help in generally friendly and I ended up with, surprisingly, a really banging magenta bra and matching lacy panties. I was actually really floored that 1. they carried something that looked way too high end for a Wal-​Mart 2. Was so cheap! $ 10.50 for a bra is insane!
I ended up buying a bra, set of panties, a headband and a pair of hose for $ 30 when I was just looking for hose and a hair thingy on 11÷11÷11. Not bad.
