Walmart

This review is for the studio here and the customer service
STUDIO: Professional and friendly photographers. I had to get some pictures taken for the insurance and showed them the letter from insurance that said it will cover upto $ 100 for the expense. But they did not rip us of despite that. Have is two sets of pictures for just $ 34, and quickly!!! The prints were ready in 15 mins.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: We had a few items my sisters bought before going out of country. Since she was away the items were past return date, and we didn’t have the receipt. The staff patiently checked their records based on dates we gave for the purchase (I am sure that was a lot given how busy they are). They were very polite and understanding and gave us a store credit for the items. No surprise we very happy customers!

not first time i made stupid attempt to reach a real person by phone… but this time i called main # listed on line… same female voice answered phone first time… put me on hold for courtesy desk… no answer… same female voice picked up my call… said same thing… transferred me… no one picked up… same female voice picked up again… said she wud page courtesy desk… some one else picked up and again said they would page courtesy desk… i was on hold for 28 minutes… i was too stubborn to hang up… new female voice picks up… i said oh my u must be busy… she says… i was on my break and the other staff dont know how to use the phone… and she puts me on hold again… then another female answers… i say i want courtesy desk… get put on hold again… but then a clear english speaking woman answers and i ask her to please check if my debit card was turned in on thursday nite… she put me on hold… at the 34 minute wait being on hold now…
see if i have enuf stamina to ask to speak to a manager once they tell me… probably…that my card was not turned in… grrrrrrrrrrrr
horrible telephone service!!!
clerk came back on to say no cards turned in… she took my name and # to call me if it did…
i didnt have enuf patience to try to complain to a manager.
that was an incredible 43 minutes of being mainly on hold listening to annoying muzac!!!

I was in this store on January 3^rd. It was quite busy compared to normal.
The ladies washroom was filthy! I am talking actual feces on the toilet seats of FOUR of the five stalls. I have never in my life been into such a filthy washroom and I am a seasoned traveler!
I asked another lady if she had reported the issue and she said she had.
I gave up after trying to get into the supposed one clean stall and went into the health clinic and they kindly allowed me to use their washroom.
There is no excuse for this.

It’s Walmart. You know what you’re getting into. If you’re into this stuff, you would give them a higher rating. Personally, I get flustered, scared an entirely overwhelmed in Walmart. But you already know how you feel and there’s nothing my review could possibly do to change your mind on this monstrously large chain.
What you might not know is this specific Walmart is one of those terrifyingly large EVERYTHING Walmarts that that you could get lost in for years but at least you’d have what you need to survive. It’s a mega-​ginormous, fluorescent light, blue vest wearing world in here, where you’ll find everything from:
— McDonalds
— Mr. Lube
— A medical clinic
— An Optometrist and vision centre
— Bank
— Tire shop
— Travel agency
— Cell phone store

This store needs a management team. It is obvious that the ones there now have had NO training nor do they even use common sense.
Went to electronics for a battery and could not find it. 2 staff at counter and no customers. My husband asked about the particular battery. The clerk looked over to the battery section, pointed and and said they’re over there, and if you don’t see it, we don’t have it. He never offered any assistance .
Went to pick up lettuce. Numerous bag holders and not one bag.
Was there in the winter, temperature was –40degrees. The last teller by the door was so cold that she had on her jacket, hat and scarf. There were 3 empty tills much further inside where it was warmer.
The store is dirty, stock is low and as said before, staff have no management to supervise and guide them.
Moral is poor.
When will this be fixed? I tried to e-​mail Walmart offices 2X now but the letter doesn’t go thru… Is it meant to be this way?

I’m too scared to touch the cart. If I ever get a cart that works .
I’ve never been in a Walmart as disgusting and dirty as this Walmart

Yikes, where are the staff? This Walmart is difficult to navigate, there are no staff around ever and if you do manage to find one they have no idea how to direct you to the correct location. Walmart obviously has some redeeming qualities, their prices, but at the cost of attentive employees it seems. Avoid.

Wow, what terrible terrible terrible– did I say terrible customer service. Went there to look at a duvet, found one on a shelf that said $ 39.99, when I went to the cashier the duvet scanned at $ 79.99. I stated that it was the wrong price, the cashier and I walked over and she started to explain how the skews work. I told her it was not my problem that the duvet was in the wrong area, isn’t that why they have staff? As I was talking to the cashier two co-​worker came up and started in on me. On the way back to the till, the cashier found the Assistant Manager, the manager and I went to the duvet section and she flat out said to me that she would not honour the $ 39.99 price. I stated I would even pay $ 54.99. She flat out said NO… I then asked her name and she stated she was the «Assistant Manager» No name was given… The funny thing– she put the duvet back where I had originally found it. So what is she going to tell the next customer that she isn’t honouring that price because it was in the wrong area? I will NEVER shop at this Walmart again!

Ok, so this review isn’t about Walmart in general because everything there is affordable and pretty decent quality depending on what you get. So that being said, I do like Walmart.
This review is just this specific Walmart. I come here usually once a week because I live so close. They are always understaffed, their shelves are never fully stocked, and their staff don’t know where things in the store are, let alone are willing to help you find someone who will know where the stuff you are looking for is. I normally wait in line about 10 minutes each time I come here to pay, which is too long when I’m buying one thing. God forbid you need to make a return because the last time I did that I waited in line for 30 minutes while ONE person did all the returns. The other staff walked by, chatting with her, etc. Wouldn’t one person think to step in and help her out with the returns until the line went away?
Uhg this place gives me a headache…

Like the yellow «have a nice day» happy face intelligently exploited by its commercials, I always have a smile on my face when I step into «the mart.» Though sometimes admittedly it is a cynical one.
There are times where the «express» line is slower than the regular lines. Once in awhile a checkout person checks-​out and that also slows the process. Occasionally, one encounters children that seem to be running out of control and into things around nearby bemused parents. And these are things that definitely hurt my head.
However, if you know what you are looking for and particularly for everyday household products, Walmart can be a wonderful place. Recently, purchased a flotation device for an upcoming houseboating trip and the selection was such that it took me a good 10 minutes to make a decision.
It’s huge, it’s relatively price competitive and if you are not careful you can pick up more here than you intend to. Maybe that’s the point :)

This used to be «my walmart», you know… the one I went to the most as it was convenient and although not the best in the city, it was certainly not the worst. The best = Deerfoot Super centre… The worst = Marlborough Mall.
Anyhow. I had to head up there tonight to return something… I didnt have a receipt and as usual Walmart cheerfully returned it for me and gave me a store credit gift card.
This walmart pretty much has all the standard stuff, but seems a tad depressing… The only way I can describe it is that it feels «gray» in there, weak lighting, gray floors and low energy… The parking lot out front is always pretty busy and with the construction of the LRT extension it is a bit of gong show to get in and out of.
For a while this Walmart tried the self scan checkouts… it lasted about a year. apparently too many people using it had issues with it. Have to say that self scanning is not rocket science… now they have that single line with multiple checkout s that you queue up for… it is really fast and efficient. I like it.
Alot of Walmarts are converting to the supercentres… I wouldnt be suprised if this one did too with the LRT extension and station being steps away.
Love it or hate it, walmart has amazing prices… go to a nice one and enjoy the savings.

I have been thinking of adding a new member to my family; enter Whiskey the black handsome long haired cat. I want to spoil my new roommate with the best accessories so that he is comfortable and he feels at home. I asked a pet friendly colleague of mine where she recommended «pet buying» and I thought she would spew some exotic pet store and she responded without a pause «Walmart». This is where she gets basic stuff for her dog and she notices the same product at Walmart is half as much at any pet store.
So off to Westbrook I went to two very long rows, 6 foot high dedicated to pets. As predicted I found a great kitty litter with lid in a gold colour, some nice food bowls and a huge bag of environmental kitty litter for under $ 35. This is how much I would be paying just for a kitty litter set at any exclusive pet store.
I was so happy, I had budgeted more money for my new friend so with the money left over I was able to buy a huge pack of toilet paper and some other bathroom necessities.
