Walmart

If I could leave zero stars I would. Brought my car in for a snow tire changeover. After about 30 minutes the manager came over to tell me the tire machine might damage my old tire. I told him the tire was shot anyway so don’t worry. Well– he didn’t wreck that, he wrecked my good tire! They also cracked one of my alloy wheels.
Avoid like the plague. My mistake trusting this place.

The people working at this location assisted me with no problems or hassles. A lot of employees hanging around but they were more than ready to help when asked.

Despite the fact this is a relatively newer store and well-​sited next to the Post Mall, this is easily the worst managed Walmart in the area. There are so many weaknesses here:
— Long, long lines virtually every time you’re here, with only several open registers.
— On a busy Labor day weekend, with enormous lines such that every 10 minutes there’s a call on the loudspeaker for every available employee to report to the registers, there’s a crew of employees inexplicably restocking random items in the middle of the store. Slowly restocking to be precise.
— On that same weekend, zero — ZERO — carts in the store. Had to walk out of the store to find a cart in the lot. Meanwhile, an employee is sitting right next to where the carts go ostensibly trying to get people to sign up for the Walmart credit card. Hey manager, how about sending this guy who’s just sitting there out for a few minutes to collect some fucking carts for the benefit of your customers?!
— Poor stock levels and messy — items not available here often found at other nearby locations.
— Once we tried to pay with a Walmart giftcard, which required some sort of assistant manager to come to the register to press a button or something. The cashier did what she had to do to summon the manager, and even tried to flag down this person, who was just wandering around the front of the store wasting time. We could see her just milling around, chatting with people. It took some 15 minutes for this person to make it to the register, where she offered no apology, no explanation, no greeting. She pressed her button, and the transaction proceeded. Mind you, this entire time, no one could be checked out while we waited for this buffoon to come over. While leaving, we happened to walk right past her, and I couldn’t hold back my frustration, and I said to her «you know, you kept us waiting for 15 minutes…». In stead of offering any sort of apology, she exploded at us with something along the lines of «you ain’t the only people in here!». How on earth someone with this disposition and utter disregard for customers could be some sort of manager at a retail store is beyond comprehension to me.
The West Haven location is markedly better than here.

I like this walmart much better compared to others in the area. It has a larger selection compared to others and things seem to be a bit more organized. It would be a plus if it had groceries though!

My fiancée and I had a really positive experience here. We came in about 10 minutes to close, an employee politely let us know they were closing soon and we insisted we would be as quick as possible. We had just left a wedding and being far from home we decided to book a hotel but we realized we had no change of clothes or other necessary items.
We rushed around the store, were able to find and get everything we needed, and got in line all in under 6 minutes. Our cashier was so nice, she told us to change our clothes, be careful, and even offered to help us find our hotel since she would be off work soon. I couldn’t believe how nice she was being to complete strangers. As we left the employee who originally greeted us, thanked us for being fast.

I ordered tires online and arrived to pick them up. I rang the bell at the counter every couple minutes. I don’t think it was working. After about 8 minutes a woman came out of the back with a cigarette in her mouth but still in her Walmart uniform. I asked if she was able to have someone come over and she said «Be patient» and walked right by me. I was hoping she could just tell a coworker on her way out. Chances are she would pass someone. She was very rude. A few minutes later someone did come by. then it was a quick process to «pick up» my order. I had ordered tires so I had to go to the tire and lube express area. They told me it would be an hour for my car to be ready. No problem. I went back at an hour and they said my car was next to be worked on. I was very frustrated but «next» seemed promising. At this point I was already in the store an hour and a half. I went to the in store subway for lunch and returned 20 minutes later to see how my car was doing. I saw my car parked outside in the same spot so I asked how much longer. I was then told it’d be 40 more minutes. Which it was. I was very frustrated with the incorrect expectations that were set and the rudeness of some employees I encountered.

Tire and lube section — not efficient, workers slacking. I hope management takes notice and puts cameras there and see how inefficient they are.

Ordered a basketball and a nba pump online and picked up from this story. The basketball had no air in it so i used the pump for the first time. The pump broke immediately and wasted half hour to return both items to the store. The return rep didn’t apologize and gave me cold face the entire time. Worst product quality and customer service.

I was surprised to read poor reviews about this Walmart but I suppose they make a little sense in that it is rather smaller than other locations.
Perhaps I think differently as I was condemned to endure the Orlando, FL area Walmart for three years. Massive Walmarts’ with Disney merchandise every corner you looked at and plagued with tacky tourists and screaming children. Parking would always be full and you’d have to walk at least a third of a mile from any open spots. This Walmart was smaller, organized, clean, and had plenty of parking. One of the employees pulled out a cart for me as soon as I walked in. But the best part was NO TOURISTS OR MICKEY MOUSE T-​SHIRTS everywhere!
I would rather do my groceries at Stop and Shop anyways. They also have bottle recycling collecting machines right at the entrance. I really cannot complain about this Walmart.

Went to Walmart Express Tire and Lube center to get a new tire. I walked in picked out the cheapest one (about $ 60) and left. They said to come back in 45 mins. When I did I was pleasantly surprised. They had patched up my old tire without me even asking and I left the place having paid only $ 10. Mind you, I wen to another well known tire place in Stamford and they said it wasn’t patchable so that’s why I didn’t even bother asking Walmart. Turns out they work on commission and Walmart doesn’t.

This Walmart reminds me of the ones from way back in the day.
There’s no groceries and the selections are sparse.
Its pretty small and definitely not the mega walmarts that we have all come to love or hate!

I am not a fan of Walmart in general but this one is particularly bad. It doesn’t matter how busy it is, there will only be three open registers. You can never find anyone to help you. The shelves are never fully stocked in any area. The bathrooms are beyond disgusting and the most recent time I was in there the handicap stall was out of order as was another stall and there was only toilet paper in one of the working stalls. There are always plenty of employees wandering around so there is no reason for any of the nonsense going on in here.

Walking in, you see immediately to your left a small arcade room. Interesting that they offer this here. Then, in the front of the registers, you see a nail shop (where do you not see one of these guys)
As you walk in from the outside, immediately you could tell the SMELL was different. A BAD different. Such a bad smell that it makes you want to gag. Describe the smell? Like sweaty armpits of Jose individuals that have not showered in a couple days. Yes, that dramatic.
Glad we only made a stop in to see what the had to offer (sales), no turning back to this one.

It was a Wal-​Mart. What the hell can you say about Wal-​Mart??? They have alot of stuff there, and their lines are always really long. They don’t have the best selections of stuff on Earth but somehow you always end up spending like a hundred dollars on shit that you never anticipated buying when you walked in. It’s convenient, no-​too-​dirty, and the American dream, right?
