Walmart Supercenter

I waited 30 minutes in the fabric department. I spoke to a manager ten minutes in and still didn’t get help. I spoke to 3 different employees before I got someone to cut my fabric. With three children under toe it was a terrible experience.

Vision center Hope was great and figured our insurance out with no problem!!!

This Walmart’s entertainment value is always worth the trip. Besides that, it’s just your standard place – but with security guards!

I don’t know why this location has so many bad reviews. I went tonight and there were a ton of lanes open to check out in. The staff was helpful and the store was very clean. Right now with college about to start, many stores are a wreck but this location seemed to still have everything in order. I will definitely be back.

I honestly hate this Walmart. I will never shop here again, the employees are rude and don’t know where anything is and even if they do they wont help you find it. If your lucky you might get a finger point to the general area. The store is always a mess and they have boxes all over the floors that sometimes block entire isles. Also good luck checking out, they will only have a couple slow moving lines that are open even though there are so many customers trying to check out.

okay when you’re shopping for birdseed it’s the place to go also if you want to get GMO and nonorganic foods it’s the awesomeness place to go!
Don’t go!

Today is absolutely the last time I shop at Walmart. A ton of cars in the parking lot and only one checkout register open for more than twenty items, one register open for 20 items or less. I ran my stop watch– I ended up waiting 20 minutes in the check out line. It’s just not worth the savings of $ 5. As it is, this Walmart is located in a pretty bad part of town too. I just can’t justify the location and ridiculous lack of registers open to come back to NE Gainesville from NW. I don’t fault «Carol» the 70+ year old cashier, but holy f#%ck she would scan an item then set it off to the side. I didn’t want to further slow her down, but I badly wanted to tell her to just throw my crap in a bag so I can get the heck out of here! Needless to say, my frozen foods were no longer frozen. I went to this Walmart mid-​morning and did see rather odd looking customers, many looked on parole. I would recommend if you do use the Walmart, which I don’t, be safe don’t come here after dark.

OMG what a consistently horrible shopping experience. Been to this location on a few occasions and every time checking out is miserable. The cashiers are slow and will just shut down a register regardless of how many customers are in line. There is NO customer service. The managers ignore complaints about slow check outs and closing of registers when they are busy. They typically never have more than 2 registers open at any given time. All I can say is if you choose to shop there then be prepared to wait. I won’t be back. It’s a longer drive to Chiefland’s Walmart but worth the drive to avoid this store or the other Walmart in Gainesville.

This is Wal-​Mart, it will never be the fanciest place but will almost always do.
The store is huge! There is a wide selection of merchandise. This store is a super center so it has a full grocery store too.
I go here for my basics and my groceries. There is a wide selection of beauty products to choose from and the prices are right. The electronics are priced reasonably and you can often find some good movies in the $ 5 bucket. I avoid the clothes only because I think that the quality is no good. The car department is decent, I have bought everything to wash my car there. The Do-​It-​Yourself section has a pretty good selection of the basic products that are necessary to do simple repairs around the house but don’t be surprised if they don’t have exactly what you are looking for.
The grocery department is a class all it’s own. I like the middle of the grocery store. All of the boxed, canned, and bagged food is priced reasonably and the Great Value brand is a very good generic brand. The dairy section is good. There is a good selection and expiration dates are not an issue as long as you check them before purchasing. The meats are not good. I have seen some that are green in color and I would never eat that. I still check every time that I am there to see if there is any good meat. I have found some on rare occasions, that for the price was good. The bakery is another weak spot for Wal-​Mart. I have not had good success there ever. Their produce is also not good. I rarely buy my produce here. I have bought some and did like it but recently when I was there I found that most of the containers of strawberries already had mold growing. This is sad since the prices are so low for the produce. The deli counter is decent. Every time I go, the same man is working there. They have Sara Lee, Hormel and Alpine Lace available. There is Butterball turkey too.
The checkout is always mayhem. Do not expect to get in and out quickly as quick is not in the Wal-​Mart dictionary. As long as you have some time stop in and you can get all of the basics that you need.

Ok… Sooooo… Is it really «super» if there are five lanes open, and three of the lanes are for those with 20 items or less… ON A SATURDAY MORNING??? I mean REALLY??? I really do like the prices and products I can find at WalMart, but I abhor the lack of cashiers on the busiest shopping day of the week.

It’s Walmart. Crazy lines. Only 2 registers open when 100 people are waiting to check out w/​filled baskets. And if you’re a late night person like me, then you’ll run into some funny looking folk. I mean they even devoted a website for it! I think it’s the people of walmart dot com or something like that. They do have good prices though. Say what you will, but you’ll always need the mart!

So, urban planner boy that I am, after hearing about all the upgrades and energy saving blah blah about this place, I had to go do a little shopping there.
Pros: Cool motion detector lights that come on as you go down the aisles. Lots of skylights so you are not bathing in fluorescent the entire day. Ginormous food section. Open 24 hours.
Cons: Ginormous food section. Its still a freaking WalMart. 8 hundred registers, no actual employees at any of them. Actual employees really hard to locate. An epic trek to find anything or anyone. You will park half a mile away from the front door. There is NO WAY anyone could walk to this turkey from anywhere in town.
I gave it a shot. It sucks a lot less than the other WalMarts, so it earns its one star — I’d give the rest 0 stars if I could.

I hate Wal-​Mart! I think I always have, but after my last experience my new life goal is to never have to set foot inside another one of these dumps ever again!
I visited fairly late last night, but the store advertises being open ²⁴⁄₇. Long story short: there was a shortage of cashiers, an abundance of customers, and absolutely no management. If I hadn’t spent so much time picking out my groceries I would have ditched my cart and walked out.
However, if you want to know where all the Gainesville weirdos shop just pay this place a visit.
