Walmart Supercenter

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I waited for upwards of 30 minutes for someone to help me make a key copy (I had cash instead of a card or else I would have used the key copy machine) and was never helped. It was ridiculous, and the people I asked for help had horrible attitudes and acted like I was inconveniencing them for asking them to help me. Never going back here.

My first visit, overall good store in the Atlanta area. The associates I asked for help were able to answer my questions. The phone operator was extremely helpful and kind.

I do not care for this Walmart. There are always long lines and only two registers open. I have been approached by customers in the store asking me for money. And it’s hard to find a sales associate out on the floor to help me with questions that I have had.

Well my review is not going to contribute anything positive about this store. The parking lot is a dark dank hole, hide your kids, hide your wife. Once you get inside you will find a store that «looks» like it has a lot in it but somehow is always out of the «staple» items that a family would need. While they have Valentine’s Day Candy in Dec, they don’t have Rice or potatoes in stock? The lines are ridiculous and when you finally do make it to the cashiers do not try to make conversation or direct eye contact. I’m really surprised that «this» is the worse walmart i’ve been to, I would have bet good money I’d get this kind of crap quality OTP

Somehow, I always end up at Walmart when I least want to be. I usually go because I’m either a) desperate or b) need a cheap staple I would rather not spend money on. With those two scenarios in mind, I have low standards for what I consider acceptable for a Walmart. I don’t need anything fancy, nor do I need the best customer service. I just want to buy what I need and get out. The only way Walmart fails me is when they don’t have what I’m looking for.
Sadly, it is more and more common for Walmart to be out of stock of what I want. Sometimes it’s food, other times it is something like toothpaste or medicine. This Walmart is a particular offender. It lacks the space of bigger, more comprehensive Walmarts, and as such, the product variety and availability suffers. I have visited this location several times and I’ve never been able to get everything I needed in one trip. My goal is to make as few visits to Walmart as possible. When you make me come back or waste time stopping at Target, I quickly write off the offending store.
Another issue with this place is the parking and traffic. The deck is spacious enough, but getting in and out of the center itself is terrible. There aren’t dedicated lights and people get pinned in and traffic stacks up. Again, this isn’t a problem unless I have to waste time on multiple trips. Overall, this Walmart simply fails to deliver the blend of a comprehensive selection with good prices. If I can’t get what I want, there’s no point in dealing the the nuisances you expect.

I, like many have been to PLENTY of Wal Marts. I don’t see much difference in one from another but this is the one in Atlanta I go to when I go to Wal Mart as its fairly close to where I live.
I have found at times that if you buy something online, especially if its a competitive product, it could be cheaper online than in the store. This is common in many stores as if you want it and your standing in front of it, they know you will pay more. When its online, they compete with loads of other websites as now many use shopping apps which compare and show who is cheaper. For example I got a 64gig micro sdhc, the kind you use in a Go Pro for $ 19 something, when in the store it was in the upper 40’s. Prices online though can go up or down often. Because of this I often just buy online, then wait for the confirmation and go pick it up! That way Im sure that it is in stock too.
The Wal Mart website says they often fill these online orders in mintures? Oh yeah? It always been HOURS for me. Then when you get to the store there is NEVER EVER anyone in the back where you pick this stuff up. Each store has a counter way in back, that way you have to walk through the store and they hope grab more impulse items along the way.
Today they had a sign, tap this screen, and an associate will come to help! I tap, nothing happens. I try tapping on the second machine screen, wait, nothing happens. I see a black alarm on the counter so I press that. Nothing happens. While doing all this I must have seen at least 12 associates come by and see me. A few said they would call help, most just ignored me. I find it generally takes about 15 min just to find someone to help you at this pick up counter at ANY wal mart. Ive used many around Atlanta, and even out of state ones and it’s always nobody there and a big wait.
Finally a gal comes and said nobody was assigned back there. Yet there were many of them behind the door that had a HUGE sign for non employess NOT to enter. So I did not enter but almost did.
I find they have loads of employees that just walk around and seem to do nothing. Many tag along with another so maybe they are new and afraid to venture out on their own. Who knows.
I go to the customer service stand to ask about a shower mildew product that I had an email about today from a local Atlanta radio program host. I read that email after I ordered my product to pick up at the store. It showed in stock. I didnt want to delay the other though with another order so just thought Id grab that also. When I get to the store the shelf is bare. I found an asst mgr, thank goodness, as most blue shirts just say if the shelf its bare we are out. He was nice enough to come with me to the bare shelf. He scanned the bar code, yes 9 items show in store. He goes to look for a good while, and nope, none in store. At least he said he would zero them out for now as I told him im sure multi hundred people just got the same email that hyped this product.
I did learn one thing though from this asst mgr. He said they DO price match
.
If thats the case bring your pad or device and look online before you buy. I told him I have always been told they dont. I also asked the gal that helped in the pick up area about that price match and there was a long pause. Evidently its a hassle to do and employees just say they cant as its easier.
So… at times theres good deals here. You just have to put up with so much, and have lots of patience and endurance to get the deals. Sure shopping elsewhere is bound to be better but some folks will endure for a better price. Thats why Wal Mart is still around.
I see deals on American Express and go there generally when there is a deal there. It’s not
my preferred place to shop but I will do it for a deal most of the time too. Parking isnt that bad, and there is covered parking so you dont have to get rained on which is a plus. There are also many helpful associates too, its just that the unhelpful ones are the majority. I’m hoping that with their increases in pay we have heard about they can improve, but so far I have not seen it.

By far the worst Walmart there is! If I could give no stars I would! I called to see if something was in stock was put on hold for 35min. I decided to hang up and call back to talk to a manager. The customer service lady rudely blurts out «you weren’t waiting for 35min» while I tell her I have screenshot of the time she then shuts up and puts me on hold again! Why are these people hired if they can’t do their job?!? Was on hold for a second time for 28 mins! Corporate needs to do something because I bet I’m one of many that won’t be going there anymore!!!

It’s a Walmart, what can I say. Plenty of parking. Two entrances/​exits. Affordable food and other goods. I have the toughest time getting the best fruit and meat selection though. I now don’t buy the meat from Walmart unless it is frozen. Or bacon. lol. So much baked goods! Do people really buy all that? How much goes in the trash, I wonder. I found some really cute things here. Like Big Bang Theory figurines. They get me sometimes at checkout. Overall, great place to stop for affordable shopping.

On Monday, I stopped into my local Walmart with my son on his 3^rd birthday. We were both in a great mood and were actually stopping in to get some reusable tote bags. We are sponsoring an under-​privileged family for Christmas and I thought it would be better to use a tote bag as a gift bag instead of a plain holiday gift bag that will just be thrown away. I needed a few other small items, so I shopped around and eventually made my way to the seasonal section. I was looking for a Christmas-​themed tote bag, if possible, because I had seen those at Target and other retailers. I spoke with probably 4 employees throughout the store, and each one acted as if it was simply dreadful to interact with me. (I did find several gift bags that were over 4+ that were of very poor quality, when other competitors are charged $ 1-​$ 3 for the same bags). Since that’s not what I wanted, I decided to stop by the toy section to maybe find some bags. Again, I encountered employees who acted as if I was bothering them by asking them a question. No luck in the toy section. I go to the front & find the tote bags! Not a great selection, but after spending close to an hour in the store that I had hoped to just run into, I was willing to budge on the quality/​style of the bag if I could just get out of there! Each edge of the carousel said that the bags were $ 1.50. I found a few bags that were decent and proceeded to the checkout. My cashier was wonderful (although she rang up my 59cent lemon as 3 $ 1.48 mangos — I didn’t have time to go back once I got into my car and noticed). To my surprise, the tote bags rang up as $ 4.00. That’s strange, because the signs all say $ 1.50. The cashier flips her light to signal needing the manager’s assistance as the line grows longer. The ‘manager’ Dana, I believe her name was, rings them up and says, «Nope, sorry they $ 4.00.» I express my surprise because there are several signs that say tote bags are $ 1.50. She continues to banter back with me that I am going to get charged whatever they ring up as, and that’s that. I ask her if I can speak to a manager, because the signage is wrong. She said the manager went home for the day. I ask her if she can adjust the price, due to me picking out these bags as if they were $ 1.50 as the sign says, she says loudly that THAT AIN’T HER DEPARTMENT. The line is incredibly long now, and so I go to the carousel to verify myself. Another associate joins us and starts scanning various bags, none of which ring up as $ 1.50. Dana continues to shout at me, in front of a long line of customers, and in front of my son on his birthday. I would never employ someone that could convey that much disrespect to a customer that spent close to $ 200 on their shopping trip who was trying to purchase gift bags for a family in need at the holidays. I will never visit this store again and have told everyone I know about my Walmart experience, Dana, her attitude, and her disregard for fundamental customer service.

I recently went to Walmart Howell Mill Rd to purchase a Tablet for $ 49.99 I could have ordered it offline for $ 34.56 and went in and picked it up same day. The young lady in the electronics dept told me they were all sold out I told her mamm check again because I had already looked online and they were in stock so she checked and I was right. The only issue was she was trying to void out a previous order in doing this she made me late I was like come on lady sheesh… Bad Business Indeed

RUDE-​RUDE-​RUDE!!! This store doesn’t even deserve a single star, however I had no choice. Stock clerk rammed into my grocery cart with my newborn baby inside! Didn’t even stop to apologize. Decided to try on some lounge pants in fitting room… Well, that was clearly the wrong thing to do. The clerk in fitting room wouldn’t make eye contact or talk to me as i asked a question, but then barked at me for not putting the unwanted clothes on the right rack. She still didn’t answer my question. Later I saw a cell phone on a shelf… And a person at the very end of aisle hunched over. I asked the person if they worked here… She was super hateful and pointed at her name tag (that I couldn’t see) and went back to what she was looking for. I just told her I was giving her a friendly tip that someone left their cell phone at end of aisle. Then she stood up, clearly annoyed with me interrupting her and said that was hers, she uses it everyday and it wasn’t a cell phone. Her attitude was horrendous, I was just trying to help.
It’s an easy place to shop, groceries and everything else. Covered garage if raining. Great hours. Just a shame that there are so many bad attitudes.

Free wifi. Smaller than most Walmarts. Layout needs work.

This place is ridiculous 2 lines open on Monday. How much it cost to actually hire people Walmart should be ashamed

Absolutely the worst Walmart I’ve ever visited. I’m forced to frequent this location, because there are so few Wal-​marts within the perimeter and the way these stores at actually run is likely the reason why their so scarce. First, the parking situation is sketchy in and of itself and should have been enough to deter me initially. Everyone in the store has proven to be a mindless zombie and those working here actually manipulate and tamper with food items and other products. I’ve never returned so much food in my life and some of it has actually caused me to become sick. Submitting complaint after complaint hasn’t resolved anything, so it’s better to just leave this sorry excuse for a store alone. It’s not worth the combative associates, poor location, or blatantly criminal acts that take place here. I can’t ever forget the one and only time I bought wings from the deli that tasted like cleaning products and almost caused me to have an allergic reaction. When I asked the ladies behind the counter why the food tasted like that no one was willing to answer. Crazy it’s like this right here in Atlanta, but maybe it accurately reflects just how corrupt some of individuals and establishments are.

This Wal-​Mart is great for prices on food. Much less than the Kroger next door. But I’ve gone in several times to look at furniture and that department is always out of the pieces I’m interested in. Wal-​Mart at Howell Mill has lost several sales I would have made.

Worst customer service ever!
Went to get a copy of my key made at Wally World and Maurice (store associate) stated that he called someone to the auto care department to assist me. I waited in the back of the store in a little section that they have delegated for keys for 20 minutes. I saw him walk by again and had to stop him to ask if someone was going to assist me. He looked like I was an inconvenience to him and then said, «I called someone to help you. Did they come? «Now I’m thinking to myself had someone helped me, do you think I would’ve stopped you again? Then he tells me the person that handles this dept is on lunch and he looks puzzled. By this time I have to go into character and play the role of «good but stern customer that will call an 800# on horrible customer service.» So my follow up to him is, A. Do you just let the customer sit here and wait? B. Do you find someone else that can help? C. Do I need to speak with your manager to get a solution? Matter of fact I would’ve been fine with B, but you never called anyone to this dept because I never heard it over the intercom; so I’ll take C. Oh, but now when I start talking about managers he wants to get right. I hear a page to the dept I’m in and then someone mysteriously appears from nowhere. So, now I’m thinking great I can get the key and get the hell out of Walmart. Sad to say, but more horrible customer service was provide from this lady who couldn’t keep up with what day of the week it was. She asked me, «what number was the key?» Because she had no idea and doesn’t know if and when she cuts the key if it’s going to work. I’m looking at her like I can’t wait to Unilocal about this stores lack of professionalism, promptness, and just plain out laziness. Never will I shop at the Howell Mill location again. Get it together Walmart!

There’s no way I could say more wonderful things about toilet posing as a Walmart store.
I’ve never seen lines longer a check out in my entire life. Anywhere. I’ve never seen a lower quality of employee. Unfortunately I come here way more often than I would like. The few times I stop in annually, I always regret it. I live in the area and there’s some things you just can’t get except for at Walmart. However this is hands-​down the worst Walmart store that I’ve ever been inside of.
I would rather try my luck in a Lions den than try to do some late-​night shopping at this crap hole.

Walmart is Walmart. There’s not really anything I can write different about this one than the other ones. Although, this part of the city has some of the worst traffic ever. And the parking lot will make you want to shoot someone. Keep calm, carry on.

I’d rather stick pins in my eyes than have to shop at Walmart. But, I had a gift to exchange so off I went. My main complaint is the lack of cashiers and customer service help. There was only one checkout lane open when I arrived on Saturday. And with large families buying two weeks of groceries the line was tediously slow. I shudder to think how bad it would be if there weren’t six self-​checkout lanes.
But I was headed to the customer service desk where there was only one cashier handling all returns. On the Saturday after Christmas? Really? And with Walmart’s clientele given to loud voices and dramatic outbursts, it’s almost like live theatre. Bad live theatre.
I’ve always thought Everyday Low Prices was so much marketing smoke and mirrors. And don’t even get me started about low wages that result in employees qualifying for government assistance. Needless to say, I’m not on the Walmart bandwagon.

Just avoid Walmart altogether. I’m currently in line, there are about 30 other people waiting and there are a grand total of 2 lanes open. I would rather pay more money than to deal with a company like this who doesn’t value their customers or their time.
There is a self checkout option, but of course that is not open.
I LOATHE Wal-​Mart.

Same old Walmart. Good customer service. There was a line but they had 3 – 4 people working so it went faster than expected. No complaints.

If you’ve been to one Walmart, you know what it is at all of them. This one is the same as any other. There is a Subway in this one.
Today, a Saturday and arguably the busiest day of the week for them, the employees were in the process of stocking merchandise. This caused many rows to be blocked with pallets and employees in the way as if the other shoppers aren’t already in my way all the time.
I find myself going to Walmart less and less. However, it can’t be denied that prices are lower than the competitors.
The end.

I went to this Walmart yesterday and when I tried to check-​in, I saw something on the Unilocal app that I’ve never seen before. It said the Walmart was «RENOVATED» and it wouldn’t allow me to check into the renovated business. I did a search for «Walmart» and saw this separate business listing, titled «Walmart Supercenter.» The old listing was simply called «Walmart» (
). This is my neighborhood Walmart and to my knowledge, it hasn’t been renovated.
I asked the employee at checkout if this Walmart had recently been renovated. She looked at me confused, as in, why the heck would I be asking something like that? She said she has worked at this Walmart since 2008 and there haven’t been any renovations since that time. This particular store opened in 2006. I agree with the employee. I don’t think this Walmart has been renovated. It looks almost exactly the same as the day it opened, save for maybe logo, signage, and employee uniform changes. The self checkout lanes were repositioned, but that was a while ago. Perhaps Walmart is trying to rebrand itself on Unilocal.
Anyhow, I do visit this Walmart several times per year. Along with the Target in Atlantic Station, these stores are great for picking up small quantities of low cost groceries and household goods — everything from produce to kitchenware to cleaning supplies to toiletries to windshield wipers to light bulbs to replacement air filters.
In the past year or so, I’ve started buying Walmart’s in-​house brand «Marketside» bagged salads. They’re actually pretty good. Crisp, fresh, and healthy with a nice variety of greens including some of my favorites like arugula and kale. While comparable to Publix, I find the bagged salad selection here to be better than Target and Kroger.
Bananas are a good deal at 56 cents per pound, which I believe is the best price among the aforementioned retailers. The quality of bananas at all these places is about the same. Walmart stocks Dole brand bananas.
I like to purchase my large 42-​ounce Quaker Oats Quick 1-​Minute oatmeal canisters from Walmart because Walmart has the best prices on these at $ 4.18 each. Prices at Publix and Target run upwards of $ 5.00. Walmart also has a better selection of Blue Diamond brand almond milk than Target does, carrying a wider inventory of flavors as well as unsweetened options. Just yesterday, I got a carton of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Coconut flavored almond milk for $ 2.98. You can’t find this flavor at the Atlantic Station Target (at least, not the last time I checked).
This store has a better selection of light bulbs too. They carry a nice assortment of GE Energy CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) in different wattages, lighting styles, and combo packs. Yesterday, I purchased a GE Energy Smart three-​way CFL (50÷100÷150 watt) for my living room for $ 9.97. This past summer, I purchased a six-​pack box of longer lasting, energy efficient 40 watt CFLs for light fixtures in my living room, kitchen, and bedroom. I couldn’t find these particular combos boxes at Target.
Some examples of other items I’ve commonly purchased at this Walmart over the years include bread, mustard, lunch meat, cereal, blueberries, oranges, dairy products (eggs, cheese), snacks (e.g. chips), soap, shampoo, toothpaste, mouthwash, greeting cards, and bottles of contact lens cleaning solution and rewetting drops. As noted in my review of the «old» location, I purchased my PlayStation 3 here.
There’s a respectable section carrying Georgia Tech merchandise. Most of it is cheap and low quality, but that’s to be expected. They do stock some Russell branded Tech merchandise. Russell is the official uniform supplier of Tech athletics. I think it’s nice of the Walmart to have this section. There’s even a cardboard cutout of Coach Paul Johnson nearby. Photo:

I’ve had to go to customer service to return/​exchange items and haven’t had any problems. The line is often long, but it’s not terrible. This Walmart has a pharmacy, eye center, a Subway, and machines that’ll copy keys and engrave ID tags. The store is part of The District at Howell Mill shopping center (includes T.J.Maxx, Ross, PetSmart, Office Depot, etc.) on Howell Mill Road near I-​75. Parking is mostly covered. The shopping carts supposedly automatically lock up if taken off the property.
