Walmart Supercenter

Sometimes the employees are quite rude. I don’t expect great help at Walmart but sometimes they make you feel like an idiot when they don’t even understand what you are talking about.

Being a student of the Atlanta University Center, having this Walmart nearby is very convenient… but it is just that. The customer service isn’t good, there are not very many healthy options as far as groceries are concerned, they do not even sell computer chargers, it is always crowded, and they never restock their items in a timely manner.
I am grateful that the store is there because it is helpful when I need to pick up something quick, and it is walking distance from campus.

Although very convenient, the fruits and veggies SUCKS! I bought some blueberries two days ago and there already going bad. Plus, they are so small and don’t have a garden section :(.

I’ll never go back here… …EVER! The young people make me SICK! Customer Service goes out of the window. If they hate their job so much, then they should do the world a favor… «QUIT!» Let someone else that’s hungry for success take the position and grow. Just Laaaaaazy and ungrateful! All of them… Seriously! I won’t say no more. Go and See For Yourself. Just Tragic… «TRAGIC!»

When word got around that they were opening a Walmart in this location, the hood rejoiced. Oh wow, an inner-​city neighborhood in the largest city in the state of Georgia is getting something that just about every country town and suburb in the state has had for years! A Walmart! Finally!
Despite the fact that this Walmart Supercenter is crammed into a building that was once a normal sized Publix grocery store, I thought and still think that having a Walmart in this location is a good idea. The demand is there. Not only is there a large enough community to keep this store going but the campuses of the colleges and universities that make up the Atlanta University Center are nearby. The problem is that, just like most things in the hood, it’s all good in the beginning but then complacency sets in and the market is taken for granted. That is part of what has happened here.
Entering this store, you immediately become aware of its lack of detail in the area of good customer service. You can find a shopping cart right away, but good luck at finding any of the small carry baskets you may need if you’re only shopping for a few items. The aisles are so narrow that you can just barely get two shopping carts down them if they’re side by side. I know this is a mild inconvenience but it’s exacerbated by the fact that this Walmart is evidently not just a store but a hangout spot as well. People just stand around in the aisles talking on their cellphones and chasing skirts. Yes, it’s a good place to, ahem, «window shop» but some of us are shopping for appliances and groceries too.
Which leads me to comment on the grocery section. If you’re shopping for groceries specifically you’re better off going to Kroger or Wayfield Foods. Paint dries quicker than the amount of time they take to re-​stock grocery items here. And if you ask an employee for assistance, I hope you get someone better than who I got the last time I was there. He reeked of weed and was propped up against one of the shelves as if he’d fall on his back if it wasn’t there.
«We don’t sell that, bruh.»
The thing is I know they sell what I was asking for, but it just wasn’t on the shelves. Now I’m a firm believer that marijuana should be legalized but you shouldn’t show up to work smelling like that and looking stoned out of your mind. Have at least a little professionalism. With that said, the girls who work there do a better job of assisting customers.
Other less than satisfactory things about this Walmart are the long, slow checkout lines, not many computer items, and a small selection of toys (even during the Christmas season) when compared to other Walmarts.
The best things about this Walmart are the location, the dvd selection, regular household items, and the cleanliness of the store. I’m rating this Walmart two stars. It may not be the best Walmart but it’s better than not having one in this location at all.

This Walmart only have one way inside!
Yes most walmarts have two sides to enter.
This walmart have one!
Police on duty at all times.
Very small, you can put this walmart inside a regular walmart.
I can say it is always pack when I go.
Please do not come here when they are closing. Honey they are serious about closing on time. Shoot you want to make this money right ??
Don’t rush my fat self I need to take time to walk!

The customer service here really sucks. Other then that it’s a pretty decent walmart. Clean and right on a bus line if you don’t drive.

Even though I hate this Walmart location. Usually the cashiers are very rude and will roll their eyes right in front of your face Carlyn is the complete opposite, she is amazing! She is just a sweetheart. She needs a promotion or a raise or something because she is one of the few that really give great customer service. She’s very friendly and patient. EXCELLENT employee!

This is seriously the CHEAPEST Walmart around. By a huge difference. To other walmarts even! They have shorter hours and limited selection. and sometimes its super crowded.BUT. they always have enough registers open. which is mind blowing!

I’m just glad there is a Wal-​Mart in the city now. It’s a little cluttered but I’m sure that will change. It’s very clean and the customer service is great.

The store is small but it has the basics, the prices are more or less aligned with other
Walmarts, they do like other chains the prices of certain items drops depending on the area.
The cashies… I have been there twice and each time they have been horrible, the first one had a memory problem, the second one had attitude problems.
If I go back is not because of the service but because the convenience…

Prices are higher hear dont no why. but if you don’t believe me shop here and take your receipt to another Walmart

Omg… and so it has begun. Walmart has begun infiltrating the city…
Surprisingly, this Walmart was nicer than I expected, its no where near as large as the Wally World’s we’ve all come to know, but still nice none the less. This location used to be a Publix, but I believe a Walmart would serve this area MUCH better… being in the heart if the AUC, Im sure this Walmart is here to stay.

This new Walmart is advertised on billboards now. Please do not go here.
Why don’t they build a Costco in the city?

Ugh… I rarely get excited about Walmart — I think they’re an awful, evil company. However, I was excited that this location was getting a Walmart, due to the fact that it has been a food desert for a long time. It also would become the closest Walmart to my house, for those few times a year when I just need a Walmart.
So, one rainy Monday afternoon, about 2 weeks after they opened, I decided to see how things had turned out. Yeah, not so good. For the amount of people this Walmart needs to service, it and it’s parking lot are entirely too small. The lot was full on a Monday afternoon. What happens on Saturdays? I don’t want to know. Inside, it was cramped and poorly layed out. I spent a lot of time trying to dodge the traffic jams that came from 2 buggies trying to go down one aisle at the same time. I found 2 of 3 things I was looking for, and then proceeded to walk in circles looking for the Lawn & Garden department, directed by signs leading to nowhere. Eventually I realized that they don’t have one, just the signs hanging from the ceiling that point you in circles. Yay.
So I head up front to buy my 2 items, and the lines to check out are backed into the aisles. I am used to this with Walmart, but not on a Monday afternoon and not with most of the registers open (unusual for this company). People in line start fighting. The 3 APD officers on staff don’t bother to come over and see what is going on. Sigh. A couple of nice normal people in line comment about how they won’t be back. I can’t blame them. I waited 25 minutes in line to buy 2 items.
I guess this place will be good for the people who live very close, and the college students will probably benefit from it. Those of us who have a choice in where to shop will continue to shop elsewhere, I’m afraid.

Of course I had to try out this Walmart because it is in the city limits. That’s a big deal!
This is a smaller version of a Walmart, probably because it is in an old Publix. I have been here twice and was very pleased with it.
The grocery side is large and well stocked. Lots of selections fresh fruit and veggies that I was surprised to see. The drug store items and hair care sections are regular sized. The housewares section is the smallest section at this location.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. I witnessed an amazing example of customer service from a man in the grocery section last week. He offered help to every person he saw. And walked people to the items they were looking for. I ended up back in that area like 10 mins later and noticed he was still doing that. Even going into the back to bring people items. Considering that people swear Walmarts have the worse customer service, seeing this was lovely. Especially because he was genuinely happy to offer and provide help.
I like this store. The only down side is the parking lot. Kinda small and funny shaped near the side stores.

I wanted to check this Walmart out because it recently opened. Growing up in Atlanta you know about the area where they built it at. The Walmart is near the AUC Campus on MLK. The location used to be an old Publix. The Walmart was a little small on the inside. Other than that everything was good. They had 2 APD police inside so shoppers should feel safe. They even had more than 3 registers open.

Nice and clean. Well organized for a grand opening. Hopefully we can keep it that way! Only problem is this is a mini– superstore (if that makes any sense) so the parking lot is pretty tight and already signs of congestion coming down MLK because of the store. I’m guessing that as the neighborhood progresses they will be open later hours but right now the close at 10… semi inconvenient. Other than that keep them aisles stocked and the they will come!
