Walmart Supercenter

Impressed with customer service at this Walmart, who went out of their way to help us return an item from another Canadian location, when customer service people at other Walmarts wouldn’t. Thank you to the returns worker who called her manager instead of just saying, «We can’t,» and the manager who helped process the return. Walmart really needs a central warehouse to process returns more easily.

Walmart. A necessary evil on our modern world. Here’s some brief history. When I was a kid I LOVED Walmart. I wanted nothing more than to be there every day. The day I turned 16, guess where my first job was? Yup, Walmart. I worked there for 11 months. I left on my own free will. I somewhat enjoyed my time there, but I’ve gotten older and my feeling have changed.
I don’t like going here. I begin to feel the same rage as when I’m at the DMV. The lines are *always* stupid long and when you just want to buy something. Quickly, you will often find yourself questioning your decision. They try to rope me in with their lower prices, but honestly, it’s not worth it for me. Sorry, Walmart. It’s not me. It’s you.

Although this Walmart is not located in the middle of two rival ghettos, it looks like it is. Why don’t towns hold this mega giant responsible for the junk yard parking lots? The grass in front of this mammoth store is littered with shopping carriages on their sides (make shift seats for the city bus, I didn’t even know a city bus went through Wallingford), the parking lot looks like a dumping site. It’s just gross. Make sure you have a tetanus shot prior to walking in.
Inside you find everything. No, really, everything. Cleaning supplies, clothes, electronics, it’s Walmart. Did you know you can buy ground beef in a tube? Well, you can, here! It’s beef in a thick plastic tube, it’s unbelievable. I don’t find Walmart prices to be significantly less than anywhere. CVS for example has paper goods for at least 25% cheaper.
Anyways — this place is gross, I’m not sure how the food passes any health standards, the place is enormous and laughably understaffed (like every Walmart). The only reason it even gets a star is because it’s open 24 hours. And that, works in a stitch. I rarely ever shop here, maybe twice a year when I need something on a Sunday after 11. Like baby Motrin or tampons.
I have a question though — does anyone else find that even if they buy name brand products here they seem to be of lesser quality? I feel like Walmart gets the junk of even decent stuff.

Wal mart is always disappointing but this ones horrible. Cromwell wal mart is not as bad though, will always choose that one over Wallingford.

Walmart has nothing to offer anyone. There goods are second rate and not even manufactured in this country.

Tried to print some photos today. The machine took over an hour and kept telling me 11 minutes. Associates did little to help and I sat waiting for a long time, and when I asked for advice little was given. One man named Jean came to help and he was very polite and helpful, only good employee I met today. I was told (after an hour) the machine was broken and somebody made an attempt to fix it, and then gave up to assist people who were only waiting for 2 minutes. Really bad experience, won’t be using the photo center again.

This is the Walmart that hubby and I frequent a lot when we do our huge grocery shopping trips. We go through every aisle in the grocery area, and I mean EVERY aisle. Products are neatly organized on the shelves and not in disarray like other Walmarts I have been to. The quality of the meats and produce is excellent. We always get some bananas and salad mixes that are very fresh. We also get a lot of deli meats and cheeses as it’s just cheaper (and somewhat healthy) to eat every day for lunch. They now take numbers at the deli counter! No more of making sure that no one tries to «cut» in front of you at the counter.
The electronics area is HUGE! You’d forget you are at Walmart when you check out the electronics area. It is like the Apple Store and Best Buy blended together.
We will occasionally visit other areas of the store before our big grocery overhaul. Just like the grocery section, aisles are neat and clean. Only occasionally will one area be in «disarray» but since it’s such a huge store the employees are constantly restocking and rearranging. Sometimes, we will fill up two shopping carts of things we «think» we need when we do cover every square inch of that store.
One star off because service sometimes is a hit or miss. Most of the time we go service has been excellent, especially with the deli clerks. As with any large scale store, service can be disappointing depending on the employee you are dealing with. On one occasion we ended up going to another Walmart to buy a PS3 game because the employees in the electronics area just couldn’t be «bothered» to break up their private conversation and ring up customers who were waiting to purchase an electronic item or needed assistance.
Other than that, be prepared to spend a couple hours (or half a day) here. You will pick up what you need and then some. This Walmart is loaded with EVERYTHING! (Except cars. You still have to go to a dealership to buy a car.)

Finally a Walmart that I am not afraid to shop in.
The produce is fresh, the lines are almost non existent, the staff is very friendly, and the isles are clean.
It is a super walmart so it has everything you need and more. There are 2 front entrances and a rear one so it is very easy to gain access to. The parking lot is huge but it is a Walmart afterall so expect to park far away and walk.
Best one I have been to so far.

Surprisingly, this Walmart reminds me more and more of the Waterbury Walmart every time I enter it now. Dirty, disorganized, long lines.
But I’ll still go in there once in awhile — it’s close to where I work. Did I mention long & slow moving lines?

This Wal-​Mart is not that bad compared to other Wal-Mart’s that I have been to that have long check-​out lines, low stock and are very messy. I like that this Wal-​Mart is conveniently open 24 hours and that they have self check out. My only issue with this Wal-​Mart is that there women clothes smell like food because of the Subway restaurant that inside the store. I wish they would stop putting these Subway restaurants inside of Wal-​Mart knowing that Subways have a distinct «Subway Smell.» Don’t get me wrong I like Subway but I don’t like my newly brought clothes smelling like food. I brought a sweater there one morning on my way to work and I smelled like food all day!

HELP! there are never enough registers open for the crowd.
Obviously they can afford to hire more, so prepare to wait.

Never enough cashiers or accurate help. No one knows where anything is and no one is on the floor to assist with an understanding of what is in inventory and seems harried — especially managers who would know where the item is. Low overhead on the floor keeps the prices down — I think.
If your time is more valuable than the extra time you’ll be here finding stuff and checking out to save a couple of dollars then, well… sometime you just can’t resist a perceived bargain.
Every time I need to go there for something — I regret it — and do it again.

I’m quite surprised by all the low ratings for this place — maybe I just happened to visit this place on one of its rare good days. Nonetheless, I must say I was quite impressed! This place is HUGE. It just goes on and on and on and on and on… It’s like a Costco combined with Michaels, Safeway, and K-​mart — all at Walmart prices!
They have everything from a large produce and snacks section to a large arts and crafts selection. There’s an ENDLESS assortment of items to choose from. Need a bike? Need rainboots? Need videogames? Need fruits? Need decorations for an upcoming holiday? Need a mega-​sized box of 48 Poptarts??! FORTY-​EIGHT. WHO SELLS THAT MANY POPTARTS IN ONE BOX?!? They’ve got it ALL. Unbelievable. Seriously, this should be renamed to The Miscellaneous Store. It’s like an All-​You-​Can-​Buy Buffet!
The only minor complaint is that there weren’t many registers open, but then again, I came in at around 8−9pm. The parking lot is huge.

If you’re a person who doesn’t like large crowds and waiting in line forever, and, like me, you shop late at night to avoid those crowds, things have gone downhill at Wal-​Mart. Granted, while before they would shut down all the self-​serve checkouts at night, they now have about eight of them open (thanks to placing them all in a contained area where a rep could keep an eye on it all). The problem is they’ve gone to the opposite extreme. If you’re doing your grocery shopping for the week to feed a family of four or more, get ready to do a lot of self-​scanning and bagging, because they no longer offer a «manned» checkout where they scan and bag for you. It seems like even Wal-​Mart is trying to reduce their labor force during the recession. Representatives on the floor are scarce, unless they’re stocking shelves, and even then, some of them spend more time fooling around like it’s some sort of fraternity house. Don’t bring your young children with you because the language is off the chain. Lots of juicy four-​letter words that if, as a child, you had uttered, your mother would’ve stuck a bar of soap in your mouth…

In the entire history of the humankind, this WalMart Supercenter has never actually had enough cashiers for the consistently heavy customer volume at this location. Statistically and probabalistically speaking, you would think this is pretty unlikey (or even impossible), but here we are.
They also have managed to somehow acquire the lowest quality produce known to man. One can only marvel at their success in this regard. Local bodegas can only look on jealously.
On a serious note, the staff here has always been pleasant given the amount of customer abuse I’ve witnessed. Come on people, I know the lines are long, but isn’t this the cost of low low prices?
Besides, where else are you gonna buy a bike helmet, a sewing kit, a UConn pillow, and some Raisin Bran for less than 30 bucks. Nowhere, that’s where.

It’s Walmart. What more can you say.

Yeah it’s big and it has low prices. The customer service is awful. If you ask for something, they tell you a vague answer that is rarely right. Then, you have to ask another employee because you can’t find it and you get another wrong answer. Obviously they are overworked and apathetic. Most of the time, they are chatting about their personal lives and gossiping instead of attending to customers.

Am I hallucinating? Does this WalMart have a little Apple store inside? neato.
Big Apple dept.
Big Walmart.

Having friends who work there… The prices may be cheap, but the people really paying the price is NOT. This place loves to work their employees to the point of injury, then fire them because THEY injured them. I avoid Walmart whenever humanly possible. Not only that this corporation is the reason that full time went from 30 hours a week to 40 hours a week. Please reconsider shopping at a place that hurts their workers, disrespects their workers, and takes them for granted.

Well, I will play too. Walmart is literally killing America…

When my fiancé wants to pick something up here, I wait in the car. Even when there is no big sale, the lines and people here are just annoying as hell.
