Walmart Supercenter

A Mixed Holiday Shopping Experience at Walmart

I recently visited my local Walmart to kickstart my holiday shopping, and it was a bit of a mixed experience. Let's dive into the details.

First and foremost, I was excited to explore their Christmas selection, and I must say, it did not disappoint. Walmart had an impressive array of festive decorations, lights, and ornaments. What caught my eye this year were the many new Grinch-themed items. If you're a fan of the Grinch, you'll be in heaven. From Grinch-themed stockings to ornaments and even Grinch-patterned wrapping paper, it's a Whoville wonderland. The variety of holiday items available is sure to get you into the Christmas spirit.

However, the shopping experience had its drawbacks. The staff seemed to be a 50/50 mix of helpful and those who appeared disengaged, possibly just there for a paycheck. While some employees went above and beyond to assist customers and answer questions about the holiday products, others seemed indifferent and uninterested in providing assistance.

One noticeable downside was the clutter of stocking carts and other items strewn about the store. It made navigating the aisles a bit challenging and prevented an easy shopping experience. I hope Walmart can address this issue to ensure a smoother shopping process during the busy holiday season.

In summary, Walmart offers a fantastic selection of Christmas and Grinch-themed items that will please holiday enthusiasts. However, the inconsistency in staff assistance and the cluttered store layout can be a downside. With a bit of improvement in these areas, Walmart could make holiday shopping even more enjoyable for its customers.

Pretty overall good visit to Walmart, things were reasonably priced and not a real long wait time to check out. They have a good selection of things my mom enjoyed our visit I would recommend for a quick stop in at your local Walmart

I have tried curbside pickup a few times at this location, and they are the worst. They hardly ever answer the phone. I ended up canceling my orders each time they didn't answer. It's like hit or miss at Walmart on Whittlesey. They just built a new Publix by us here at Old Town, so I will opt to pay the higher prices for better service.

This Walmart Supercenter is always so clean and aisles are wide. Produce always looks fresh. Only thing we have a hard time finding ground turkey. Most of the time they are out. We always go to check out with a cashier there. We don't like self checkout at all.

Did a curbside order of over $250 and it was delivered to the wrong Person my app was showing. I waited over 2 hours to get any sort of resolution or be helped. I tried calling the number, no one answered. When asking to speak to a manager no one seemed to know what to do. A lady said she would go check on my order and after 50 minutes of her going inside go look, I finally went back in to check. After another 30 minutes, finally got a manager. They seemed annoyed by the whole process. 3 hours after my order tkme, they found my order. No one apologized whatsoever for anything. They told me to go get a cart and they put it in there and I walked across the other end of the parking lot to load my car myself in the rain. Never seen service so horrible

The self checkout is the dumbest thing they have tried.

Has no cashiers available but wants to stop me for 10+ minutes at 9:00 to check my stuff after leaving self checkout. Get workers and leave people alone.

I visited a different Walmart and received very good customer service. Unfortunately, the other location was out of a product I was looking for. A very helpful and friendly associate checked the system and informed me that the Griffin location had the product in stock. I drove to the Griffin store and as soon as I walked in, I noticed a difference.

The associates at the Griffin store were not as nice nor helpful… not even close. They were impatient, unfriendly, and very short with their responses. When asked where I could find a different item, one associate actually told us he didn’t know because he worked nights. What does working a different shift have to do with merchandise location? I’m pretty sure the item would be on the same aisle at night as it is in the daytime.

At checkout, the only checkout lanes open were the self checkout. There were 50+ people waiting on a checkout machine. Finally, an associate directed some of the customers to checkout in customer service. That was a joke because customer service was just as bad.

Their associates do not mark down the items as they should. Some will ring up the correct price, others way higher, some not marked down at all. And it will all be the same exact thing but different patterns. For example, their little boys underwear. The buggy they are in is marked $1 but not all ring up that way. And they are not willing to honor that pricing. Then the CSM had the nerve to say they don't even use the sticker that was on the underwear. CLEARLY you do with your underhanded a** comment. And I still remained calm and polite which is less than she deserved. To the associate/manager working the grocery side self checkout at 7:30pm tonight, go back through training and learn ACTUAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. It is 66% of your title 🤣). If someone did their job right the first time, my wasted time could have been avoided. 90% self checkout and still can't do their jobs right.

Our cashier, Rachel, was excellent. My 3 year old son wanted to help grab some of the bags and put them in the cart. Rachel was so nice and patient with him. She really goes above and beyond while interacting with customers and I really appreciate her! 🫶

I’ve got to say, Walmart curbside is the way to go. Headache free! No need to wonder around the store and wait in those ridiculous self check out lines. On top of that, both of my recent trips this month the male associates have been so kind! I always forget to ask for names to give a proper recognition but they both have been so pleasant!

REVIEW FOR W+ PICKUP: I arrived at pickup and called the number on the sign to let them know my location. I had only been sitting a couple of moments before a young lady approached and asked the name for pickup. She checked for the order on a handheld device and told me someone would be out soon.  As stated,  within moments a very polite young man came out,  confirmed the name,  apologized to me for the wait (under 5 minutes) and asked if I would like the order to be placed in the trunk which he proceeded to do after my confirmation. The entire process from arriving to leaving took less than 11 minutes.  All the staff were very friendly.  There were no substitute items to review so it was simple!

Going in to the store, it seems lacking severely in organization. Cats are blocking aisles and you can't find an employee available to assist.

Has what we need.

I will say the T-shirts in the craft area are crazy on the sizes! V-neck vs non v-neck. The non v-neck shirts are much larger than the v-neck shirts. So if your friend is making a shirt for you keep in mind the difference in size! And they don't have 1x and the jump between XL to 2X is HUGE!

They have mini peanut butter m&ms and mini skittles!! I was pleasantly surprised when I found them! I thought I got the plain mini m&ms and as I was eating them I thought they tasted different and I looked closer at the container and they were peanut butter! Even better! Such a fun product!  Thanks Walmart for carrying them!

Love this place and their friendly environment the night manager is kinda hot and always smiling the guy that walks around and deals with supervisor like things haha and Debbie at the courtesy desk couldn't be a better person for the job wow give her a raise already! Love this place it's clean and bright and always stocked up. Super super cool dudes

FIRSTLY THANKYOU JACKIE! FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND CALMNESS! SECONDLY NEARLY ALL THEIR MACHINES ARE DOWN. For not only customer service BUT almost all their registers...2 days in a row when i came...because of this i couldnt return an item for refund to original payment i had to do gift card....upsetting..

Watch out for the online order taker and the oversized carts, they block the isles and come out of nowhere. I guess they expect you to move out of their way. I suggest the put bike bells to warn people.

Wagner's Furniture & Design

We had a very charming young gentleman helping my hubby and I get me my Christmas chair!! Loving it!! Also there's a chandelier I feel in love with!

The service team at Wagner's went above and beyond for us when we needed a repair done to a recliner we bought 2 years ago. (the damage to the chair was not the fault of the chair but of our grandkids who loved using the remote!) Josh and Garrett, went out of their way to get the work done quickly when they heard that my husband had fallen and broke his hip. This chair supports him so well and is much easier for him to get in & out of and we are SO VERY GRATEFUL for their kindness and thoroughness. We highly recommend Wagner's Furniture as a place to buy quality furniture.

Nick helped my boyfriend and I find an affordable mattress. He was amazing from beginning to end. He gave us tips and pointers on how to protect our mattress. I would highly recommend anyone to him! Thank you Nick! -Jose & Kirsten

I was blessed enough to be referred to Wagner's by another furniture store who told me that Wagner's had the best prices,selection and availability.  I found this amazing store,found what I needed and had an amazing experience with the 2 friendly helpful people that gave me their full attention even though what I needed wasn't high money. Chances of going to any other stores for my furniture needs is pretty slim thank you so very much for your help ☺ ❤

We think Wagner's is the best furniture store in town. We've bought many of our home furnishings there. Recently, however, they helped us solve a problem. We had bought a mattress at a store on N. Reserve, and within a year it showed us that quality construction wasn't in even considered when it was thrown together. Though not of their doing, WAGNER"S came to our rescue. We love Wagner's and are very grateful especially to employees Nick and Ian.  Kimberly and Jim Dredger

Wallaroo's Furniture and Mattresses

I had a wonderful experience. The customer service was excellent. They were very helpful, patient, and have the best prices around. The delivery was quick, even with the holidays. The delivery driver was nice and even arrived hours earlier than scheduled. He helped bring the furniture in and took all the trash away for us. This was our second great experience and we will definitely be using Wallaroos again in the future.

Was searching for a small sofa for my son’s tiny apartment and Wallaroo’s was recommended by a larger outlet who only carried “regular” sized furniture.  While the smaller sofa selection was fairly minimal, we found a very functional one with drawers that fit perfectly.  Sarah, the manager, was very accommodating on the price, and we assembled it in about 20 minutes. If you’re looking for affordable, functional furniture, and great customer service, this is the place!

Sarah was excellent on the sales side. Succinct, professional, and friendly.

Blake on the delivery was also fantastic. Bonus points for being a fellow cat lover.

Great experience all around! Ordered the couch Sunday evening and it was delivered and installed Wednesday afternoon.

We had a great experience with Wallaroos! Blake was super to deal with. When we were looking around, he gave us our space unlike several other stores we went to. And when we had questions, he was very responsive and helpful. We found a couch and expected to wait a couple of weeks for it, but it was delivered the next day. Blake was also the delivery person, and made that process seamless. He was friendly, genuine, efficient and thorough. Honestly, I was kind of skeptical about shopping there because I knew nothing about them, but I couldn’t be happier with my experience. We love our new couch!

I loved our couch and recliner set that we bought from wallaroos furniture about 2 and a half years ago. Just recently our recliner broke and we are not able to put up the feet or it won’t go back down so it’s stuck shut. Today one side of the couch is now stuck open and won’t shut. Not impressed by how fast this set broke.

Target

As a previous Target worker from Billings, I am aware of how the store works and their practices. Traveling for work all over the country, this is the WORST Target I have ever been to. Every trip is a disappointment. Workers are no where to be found, we are shocked if the cashiers smile at us or mutter a single word to us. Target corporate should be ashamed of this store. It’s appalling how guests are treated and someone needs to help this store.

You have to give Target the credit for the variety, availability and great affordable prices for what they have in stock: food, toiletries, clothing, shoes, pharmacy services, homegoods (for decorating your living room, bedrooms, etc). And all of their employees are so helpful and respectful -- you must be elated that they have stayed in business and cater to your needs; they even have a place to get Starbucks; or drinks and and a snack and their restrooms are always immaculate - 5 stars for Target.

2022 Christmas my wife bought me a $50 gift card (visa) from the Missoula Target. When I tried to redeem the card it wouldn't work and when we called the number on the back of the gift card, we were told that we would need to talk to the target we bought it from. With receipt in hand, we spoke to customer service and then to the store manager. They basically told us they couldn't help us. Store manager could have gave us store credit but on top of offering us nothing, she was also rude.  We used to spend about $800 a month at Target. Now, a year later, we still haven't shopped at Target again. The rudeness and refusal to even try to help us has costed them a lot more than $50 and will continue to cost them.

Don't work here or use Dailypay app. It's a Job Scam. The App is rigged to steal. Also Some Managers are abusive and rude; which is why there is hardly no staff. The good staff they do have managers; they find a way to ruin it for themselves.  I say file a report or complaint on them.Doubt they will do better though.

My favorite place to shop! Love the people at target! They are always so nice and greet you with a smile. Thank you to all the hard working employees at Target for making it a wonderful place to shop at!😁

Had such a wonderful shopping experience at Walmart today.
10/10 would recommend

Staff member Alyssa was so much help checking out the other day, with how many people are in Walmart on a regular basis I was sure it would take me forever to get out of there with the few items I had. There where a few people behind me and she quickly directed me to an open check stand, and assured that I found everything I needed with ease, she was extremely friendly and made my experience better than usual. 5 stars goes to Alyssa, really wonderful customer service!!!

I agree customer service is great. The issue that needs worked on is there’s a huge deal about privacy. So why is it ok that I’m being helped and two other people interrupt asking where something is and I have to wait and these people are standing close to me by counter. Dude - Just get a sign or something and tell people to wait there. I mean anything. I thought it was pretty funny too when the second person said oh I’m not trying to cut you 😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wonderful wal-mart store.  We were pleasantly surprised to see there is still a WM store that has a gun selection.  Store was well stocked and even organized during the crazy Christmas season.  Every employee seemed happy and friendly.

There’s an exceptionally annoying obvious trans “woman” who works in the pharmacy that has a very condescending attitude and they make a lot of unnecessary comments about the things you buy. Telling you things about your medical condition that any idiot would know. Completely inappropriate and smug personality. It’s pretty inappropriate for someone with such serious mental issues being in a position where they are privy to sensitive private information and who doesn’t possess the common sense to understand social etiquette and personal boundaries. What a nightmare of a person.

We all already know this place is ghetto. I came here on a Tuesday morning at 8:30 am- so it wasn't busy at all. Tried to do self check out, but the entrance was being blocked by a giant pallet of items, so I went around, and the other entrance was being blocked by two employees. I said "excuse me, can I come in this way?" And she rolled her eyes and said "go ahead, but go the other way next time". My bad for being such an inconvenience. I was also pan-handled while trying to pay (I was by myself with my baby) so it was a little uncomfortable, but the man asking for money was nice enough. I gave him $5 but apparently that wasn't enough, because he needed $7, so I found one more dollar and told him that's all I had. The employees not only didn't mind his pan handling, but also knew him on a first name basis. I'm not even mad- I get it, times are hard and I don't think I'm better than anyone. I also like that the employees treat him with respect, but just know all this before coming here if you're not from around here.

Go for needs and Always be blessed🙏🏽🙏🏾 enough 2 grab a want r 2 and their everywhere

A really NICE super large store  ! Has large  aisles. Not like the Super SMALL super Walmart store in Franklin NC !  Has a really BAD road entrance too. One example:At Franklin store the extension cord section is a Joke ! Hardly nothing,  see this really super Walmart stores cords ......goes on forever! Found my 25' tan cord, finally! See pix of cords. Love this place!

Not sure why their retention rate is like it is, but I love their Grocery Pick-up personnel. They're always kind, helpful, & striving to improve our experiences as customers (or at least they do for me). Been with them since day 1 & I don't plan on changing up anytime soon

I was told I couldn’t use the restroom because the employee was tired of waiting for customers to come out so he could clean it. I was also told he was attempting to leave ‘at a decent time’. So he didn’t have time to keep waiting.

I usually do all my shopping at Walmart since I live so close, but walmart has been selling some sketch items lately. Bought several expired items. And now pretty sure they are selling food that thawed during the power outages. All my froze stuff I bought is froze together. Def going somewhere else in the future.

Wanted to check my receipt for two big items that didn’t fit into bags. I don’t have to steal, and you could clearly see us checking out. Maybe if the front door employee was paying attention instead of talking she would’ve seen that. Not only that, she didn’t stop anybody else. Bet it’s because me and my partner are black and she thought we were stealing. She then proceeded to look at us crazy 😒.

I shop here all the time. I was in the meat section looking at the frozen Great Value  boneless skinless chicken thighs. I buy them frequently. They were only partially frozen clearly some parts of the thighs weren't frozen. I saw a older man, stocky white hair who clearly worked there, unloading freah meat. I politely  told him about it. He essentially blew me off! I was concerned about possible food poisoning!

Thank you manager Carol for allowing me to park my semi here last night after I finished shopping.

I could not find a truck stop with parking here and parking at the chicken place with that stench on Barber Street really wasn’t an option for sleep.

This trucker really appreciates you. Thank you so much.

First off this store is employees have no desire to help you whatsoever nor do they have any desire to become knowledgeable of any Walmart products. Furthermore they would just as soon not be bothered by you. And I went there to buy fishing accessories and they have one aisle that consists of everything that they have related to any kind of fishing sport. Their fishing supply was lacking to say the least and so was their employees.

Ashley Store

Going on the 3rd delivery trying to get the table we purchased in November. If you buy a table from Ashley furniture BEWARE…it comes in pieces. Most absurd sales tactics I’ve ever encountered. When they deliver BEWARE your full order will not be on the truck. Have the base of the table BUT who just orders a TABLE TOP. Mine is missing. No customer rep has called me. I had to call them. Even though whoever I talked to when delivery guys were here 2x said someone will contact you regarding your tabletop. No one did. I had to call this store. Still waiting and wondering what kind of Mickey Mouse warehouse operations this company has. Never again will we buy from this company.

Thank you Paula for holding my very indecisive hand through choosing a new sofa. Couldn’t be happier! I had a very disappointing experience when I ordered a sofa from Rooms To Go website and it was two inches less deep than the online dimensions, and not at all comfortable. I decided I needed to choose one in person. My parents’ sofa is from Ashley and it has held up nicely through the years. Paula actually showed me the one I chose, which I had not seen. It’s comfy yet a more contemporary style. Delivery was smooth and we are super happy!

Word of advice, just be careful ordering and paying for furniture that is back ordered. Purchased a sectional sofa on 8/12 was assured all pieces would be in and could be delivered in a couple of weeks.  On the first scheduled delivery date 8/31 got a phone call that the corner piece was still backordered. Rescheduled delivery for 9/14, got a phone call night before that 2 pieces were back ordered and delivery was going to be cancelled and rescheduled. No sofa after one month, was charged full price of sofa on original purchase date. Had to call and cancel the order and awaiting refund. It was a beautiful piece of furniture, just not the best customer service. If you don't have it, don't sell it.

Update 9/20:
After I posted this review I was contacted by the Irwin(hope I’m spelling that right) the store manager. He was very professional and kind and apologized for delay in receiving the sofa I had ordered and paid for. He promised to make it right by getting all pieces delivered to me within the next week and he also offered to refund the delivery fee. I received the sofa by the date promised. The gentlemen who delivered it did an awesome job bringing it in and setting up. I’m still waiting on the delivery fee refund but I absolutely love it and I’m very pleased with my purchase. I would purchase from Ashley Furniture again.

We came to ashley furniture in athens on November 16th & bought a sectional couch and end table. It was scheduled to get delivered on the 28th of November. I took off work for it to get delivered waited all day and they took it out of the truck and told me it was broken & ashley would give me a call. Ashley never called me , i had to call them that next day. I have scheduled a christmas party at my new home on December 2nd for a reason due to getting my furniture. We didn’t get our couch and now our guests and family coming into town staying with us will have to sit on the ground. We have waited already 2 weeks on this & now another 3 weeks due to it being broken. This isn’t our fault that delivery truck just toss the furniture in Since they aren’t the ones paying thousands of dollars and we now are having this inconvenience for our guests. I called customer service and all they could do is $50 for me . $50 is all i got offered after  i missed work and i’m paying thousands for something that was out of my control. I thought ashley furniture was better than this. They should atleast  refund me way more than $50. $50 doesn’t pay for my bills when i have to miss work. Due to this situation now I have  to take off work twice this month . My guests will have to sit and sleep on the floor. I think this should be resolved somehow. Now i am waiting 5 weeks which is insane. i would have gone to rooms to go if i knew i would have all this trouble .I came to you guys for this reason bc your turn around time was 2 weeks. I am very upset that customer service couldn’t help me or rush my couch. This is very inconvenient now for my guest. We may need to get them a room at a hotel so they won’t have to sleep on the floor and guess what that’s more money i have to spend all because they just throw your furniture and broke it. i’m considering canceling the whole set and going to Rooms to go. Future reference i know not to go back or recommend to this to everyone i know .

The experience of buying a new reclining couch and love seat could not have gone any better! We had lots of choices to sit in, get a feel for and make a decision that was never pressured. Great communication throughout the process. Christie helped us and really made everything go smooth. As we were walking out Irwin, Store Manager checked in with us and we even had a great discussion about Georgetown Basketball. The stop into Ashley Furniture saved us a trip to Atlanta!
We highly recommend the Athena Ashley store.
