Walmart Supercenter

Big difference between this store and what passes in Joplin on Range Line. Staff friendlier, smarter, maybe even better looking. I think this store may be a bit smaller than the one on Rangeline. But, the store in Joplin needs to be bigger to hold their ego.
Prices could be a bit more but the lack of attitude is more than enough to stick with this place. As with the other stores in this section of town, it’s easy to get in, get out and back on the highway.
I’ve found their automotive department to be a lot better than in Joplin. At least here, I don’t have to put sticky notes on the car to clue the staff in at Joplin with «This is a tire.» «This is the car hood.»
I’ve also found that this store has a larger and more varied clearance than in Joplin. On clearance stuff, it’s always going to be hit or miss.
To the credit of the Carthage police department, they are on top of people parking in handicap and no parking zones. I guess some people think «no parking» means, «park here as long as you like.» Don’t know what the ticket price is for parking in a no parking zone but hats off for keeping the driveway drivable.
Only thing I don’t like is they don’t put paper towels in the bathroom. I was told the same line as in Joplin who’s pulling the same stunt: It’s corporate. It’s «greener» to use the hand dryer rather than paper towels.
That’s really stupid. Carthage has its own power plant and has operated it since the 1940s. It’s not coal it’s a fuel based one and I would assume under such a title they mean diesel. So, how is it «greener» to use electricity generated by diesel? That’s their only black mark in trying to fool the customer.
Joplin isn’t any better. They tell the same story. It’s «greener.» Well, I doubt things have changed much over the years. I believe that Joplin gets it’s power from the Riverton, Kansas plant and unless they converted it to wind, that’s a coal fired power plant. Must be the same manager who runs both stores. I bet he came here from Burger King, because he sure is trying to sell some WHOPPERS over at these stores.

This is the worst Walmart I have every stepped foot in! Corporate should stop by without letting them know and see how bad this place is. This is coming from a person who LOVES going to any other Walmart. It is this store that does almost everything wrong.
The people ignore you. Even the person at the front whos job it is to say hello will ignore you half the time you enter the store. Both time I ask for help finding something, the employee I ask just pointed and said I think it’s down there.
We don’t even consider going to this Walmart because in only a few trips there they proved that they are not up to Walmart standards in any way. They missed the mark repeatedly on everything from cleaning to service.
Don’t every get tires here! I got four tires for my Blazer and it took them over three hours to put them on after they started working on it. My wife was calling me asking what was taking so long, then finally called the store and ask them what was taking so long. It was a nightmare. I talked to the guy in charge of the tire and lube area. He said he couldn’t ask the employee to hurry because it would be unsafe to hurry someone working on a car. That is a load of Bull! He just didn’t want his buddy to have to do any work faster than the pace of a turtle. If I worked there I would fire both of them as well as most of the store employees as a first step to making this forsaken dump start to become professional.
I LOVE Walmart and this one is only a few miles from my house but I drive all the way into Joplin so I don’t have to set foot in this place. I would give it a zero if I could.
This place is also kept very dirty.
If anyone from Corporate in Walmart reads this, please do yourself a favor and check this place out. You will not be happy with what you find!

Love this store compared to the 2 Joplin store’s & Webb city. Friendlier associates & always clean
