Typical Walmart. Crowded, but lacking staff. Strange, dirty washroom smell permeating throughout, even in the McDonalds. The«greeters» don’t always pay attention. This one middle aged lady, who was feet in front of me, as she was leaving set off the metal detector. I stopped in front of customer service, well away from the doors so the«greeter’ could stop her and check her items. Instead the greeter, who wasn’t watching who set off the alarm, came over to me. Even after explaining that it was the lady ahead of me, who was already walking out into the parking lot, the greeter just looked at me and was like«yeah, yeah. Let me see your receipt.» I felt like she was profiling and discriminating me. The portrait studio is a joke. The staff are very snobby and judgmental. This one girl sneered at me when I wanted to get me and daughters portraits and she was trying to get her coworker to do it instead. This girl admitted she didn’t know what she was doing. Incompetent and under qualified staff. Then when it was time to pay for the portraits she upped the price. I was on a strict budget and told what the price was going to be and it ended up not being anywhere near the quoted price. I left with no portraits. The washrooms lack privacy and cleanliness. The stalls have huge gaps and people can look right at you while you’re doing your business. For some reason they do out of impatience, I guess. They are absolutely filthy. Some of the fixtures are damaged. There is no counter or hook to place your coat and purse while you wash your hands. The amount of staff working on the floors is more than other locations. One guy was very accommodating and helpful when I was trying to get a boxed shelf down. Some of the products are placed in hazardous places for the customer. The boxed shelves are heavy. VERY heavy. But they are placed on a high rack and must have been shelved with a forklift. When I went to go grab it I could have gotten injured, as I realized how heavy it was and had just let the box drop. It made a loud sound and the box tore and started falling apart. I wanted a better packed one, so I got an employee. The employee was having a hard time dispatching a machine for me to get the shelf down and he was even surprised at how heavy it was. But we managed to get into my cart. Walmart seriously needs to rethink how they stock their shelves before some hurts themselves. The produce is not refrigerated and goes bad quickly. Not an ideal place for grocery shopping for food. I go to Superstore next door. I’m not happy that the cashiers don’t always deactivate the magnets so to not have paying customers set off the metal detectors. If you have a particularly large item that can’t go into a bag, the«greeter» will stop you to check your receipt. Sometimes they will stop you in a rude, mean way. When you want to get a shopping cart, the«greeter» may treat you like your in the way of the cart gatherers and want you to stop taking a cart and just get out of the way first. Like, it only takes a couple seconds and I’m already in the cart parking area. Customers are not treated like valued customers.

Came here to buy some vegetables. Parking is available in front. Nice large lot. Strangely enough, the vegetable section doesn’t sell prewashed chopped broccoli. Yet this product is available if you buy as one of those raw veggie trays with 5 other items. It would be nice if they let you pick and choose what you want, as opposed to forcing you to buy bundles. As for the rest of the store, it’s pretty consistent with the other location around town.
