Walmart Supercenter

I needed to pick up some snacks and a few other items for the weekend. I drove about an hour to get here. Very large and clean Walmart, friendly employees. Large parking lot. They had everything I needed. If im back in town and need something I will definitely come back to this Walmart.

Re-​stock your products!!! I wear this specific foundation that I really like, last time I bought it there was around Halloween. Every time I go to check if they have it its completely out! It’s mid April and they never re-​stocked it. Hmmm what’s that been…6 months?! I haven’t just experienced this with just foundation but with MANY other products. It’s not that hard to see that your out of something and order it, It doesn’t need to take half a year.

I would give this place higher stars but the customer service here SUCKS!!! The employees never look you in the eye when talking to them and seem annoyed when asking a simple question. I recently went here to buy a new bike and I had to walk around to find a salesperson to help me. When I finally found someone, they rolled their eyes and called for someone else to help. I went back to the bikes and waited and waited and waited. I gave up and walked out. Apparently I went into this store the day only 3 people were working. Ugh. Other than the crappy customer service, this Walmart is pretty clean and good parking.

The pharmacy at the Walmart Gardnerville is deplorable. Every time I go in there I see a line of eight or 10 people with maybe one person at the register. Last night I had a prescription to be filled and I happened to be there so I went to the drop off window. Nobody in line at the drop off window –4 staff people in sight.. Nobody so much as looked up for five minutes. Meantime, there were 10 people in line plus 3 more sitting on benches, looking like death warmed over. There was not ONE person at any of the 4 cash registers. Of course I did not drop off my prescription as I felt some of these poor folks needed theirs more than I did. It pains me deeply to see this despicable lack of service, especially to seniors and veterans who need their medicine. 30 minutes later when I left the store, the same, repeat the SAME people were still standing in line. And waiting on bench! Mind-​boggling and atrocious. I’ve not found a good pharmacy in all of Gardnerville/​Minden Nevada, but Walmart takes the cake for not staffing their’s, and allowing these elderly people to wait for 30 minutes to an hour in line. And who knows how long to drop off because there was still nobody at the drop off when I left. Really pathetic and shameful.

I will not shop here anymore! I was lied to by the management Jason. He towed my car that I asked permission to park there. My phone number was in it and I had been parking there for over 6 months as I commute to work. He was NEW and wanted to be a hard ass on policy. Bruce another store manager had given me permission. And when I called about it Eric never bothered to call me back. Instead he had his secretary? It cost me 205.00 for less than ½ miles of towing! At the holiday season no less! There goes my family’s presents when they asked why we don’t have anything I will tell them it’s Jason’s fault at Wal-​Mart!
Merry Christmas!
Target forever for me!!!

I’m writing a review on my oil change. The service took about 45 minutes which wasn’t bad. The person who changed my oil was a chill guy. Only thing i didn’t agree with, was he gave me back my car with oil marks on my steering wheel and on the door handle. I think they should at least wipe every vehicle down after they’re done with it. I did wash my car before I took it over there. I really got to see how oily they left my car. If they can correct that, I’m sure they’ll be a good place to go to get a oil change. Full synthetic only.

Worst stocked store I’ve ever been to. Also, it’s a challenge to find fruit that isn’t moldy.

This review is for the tire center only!!!
So I am not really a Walmart shopper, I usually avoid them as much as possible. Unfortunately for me I was only one hour into my 9 hour drive home from a weekend at Lake Tahoe when I got a flat tire. I was able to stop on the side of the rode and get the spare on but then what the heck could I do? I was in the middle of nowhere on a Sunday. Nothing nearby was opened and my spare wasn’t going to make it super far. After an online search it was discovered that Walmart was a little less then 40 miles from where I was. I made it to Walmart and was happy to find I was the only one needing tire service. The man helping me was very nice and got my new tire on in record time.

Bottom line up front, the mechanics are incompetent and have no integrity. It is not recommended that anyone bring their car here.
To save time I go to Walmart Auto Center to get my oil changed.
I came in with a bottle of oil treatment as always. I asked for the standard oil change as always. My car uses 5 qts of oil. I bought a 5 qt jug and supplied the 1 qt of oil treatment. In the past they have always returned the jug with one 1 qt left over.
When I returned to my car I found a half bottle of oil treatment. So I went back to the mechanics and told them that they did not do the job correctly. So they went back and drain the oil to add the rest of the treatment.
When they returned my keys I asked for my extra quart and the guy said, «there is nothing I can do about that»…
I asked to speak with a manager. The mechanic phoned it and I waited… And waited. Finally after half an hour I asked a different mechanic to speak with a manager. They showed up within two minutes.
When the mechanic arrived he told a completely different story. He said he did the job, and I caught him in a straight lie. If he really did do the job, then that means he put 6 qts in an engine that fits 5.6 at the max. The manager and I checked my dip stick and found it way over filled. They finally drained the oil and comped me a quart of oil, I left.
Now my car does not have the right mixture of oil treatment. The mechanics were willing to screw me over, and let me drive off in a car with too much oil. We all make mistakes, but the mechanic did not even admit to it. I will never return to that auto center again. I do not recommend anyone trust this auto center again.

Called the tire department to be sure the tires I needed were in stock. They were. I mentioned a Walmart online sale for the same tires and was assured that they would match the price. So, off we go to Walmart.
When we got there they could not find the tires I had called about but they had a similar tire for $ 5 less per tire so I said «Fine. Let’s get those.»
Dave and Ammon (I hope I got the name right) were quick and professional. My car had 4 new tires in just about 1 hour for almost $ 400 less than the tire stores here in Tahoe.
As to the rest of the store… Walmart is Walmart, no matter where you go. This new store is clean and well lit. The employees are very nice.
My huge complaint at most big box stores is the restrooms. This Walmart has always had very clean restrooms.
My only complaint is that there are never enough checkers at the checkstands at the peak hours.

This store continues to be out of common everyday goods and often times is restocked with items that do not make walmart the low price leader… In fact the meat costs are so inflated that I won’t buy it from them… The workers there though are very nice and try and do their jobs and are helpful and friendly however the management and 1 person who in the customer service area of the store ironically was not… I want this to be clear that not all walmart’s are exactly the same but none I have been to are so radically different than this one which can only be from management decisions and if I didn’t shop for certain things after hours they would rarely see me in this store… Unfortunately for me living in a semi rural area that I don’t have the luxury as i did when I lived in a populous area to go to another store always… I did receive a call after emailing the corporate office that was from a shift manager but i was out of town for almost a month and was in an area where I could only get phone service in a limited way so when i returned the call I was unable to talk with him… The effort that they made was minimal and I think only called the one time so you can see they are not too concerned with my business… It is sad to see the loss of genuine businesses who focused on customer service like this walmart demonstrated to me however I think if they did some managerial changes and brought in someone who has run a successful store in a rural area they might correct things but if on paper this store looks good then it could look a whole lot better… Its the only walmart I have ever seen where the parking lot on the busiest days is less than half full!

They have stopped stocking the pharmacy so that when a customer sees an item out of stock walmart hopes when they return to purchase the item they will buy even more stuff. ALL walmarts do this it is a standard marketing strategy for them. I have started shopping at the local Grocery Outlet which DOES stock their shelves and they are cheaper. This tactic represents walmart’s attitude towards its customers which is: ‘We don’t care, we don’t have to, we’re walmart’.

First let me say that I love the Walmart prices, so even though the big box store ends up hurting smaller businesses, in this rough economy, everyone has to be frugal, and Walmart offers those low prices that we all need. I have shopped at literally dozens of Walmarts over the years, and hands down, this is the most inefficient and lousy store I have been at. If I go there for only 5 things, they will be out of one of them. Never have I ever been able to complete my shopping list. But worst of all, they continuously have expired items on their shelf, especially meat. I am not joking when I say this… every single month that they have been open I find expired junk on their shelves. Milk, chocolate milk, sausage (all the time), deli meat, breakfast bars, you name it. I have brought it to managements attention, as well as Corporate’s. Still, the problem exists. In fact, just last week, I found several boxes of expired Special K bars. Personally, I know several people who just don’t shop here any longer because the store stinks. So, if you buy food here, check everything.

my very first walmart.
huge, clean, organized with helpful employees.
they had great deals and store is super clean!
parking lot was also super spacious and clean.
very impressed!

It looks like a fairly new walmart. Helpful staff. Exactly what I expected.
