Walmart Supercenter

While it says Supercenter, i am not quite sure, this location is not that huge and does not have a meat, deli or much of a fresh produce selection.
However, the rest was fine, not too full and they actually had enough cashiers there so not much of a wait and the staff was nice and helpful as well.
We got pretty much every thing we needed for a great price, tons of easy parking, while not the best, it got the job done.

Basically, they were understaffed. BUT, for whatever reason, they are always understaffed. I don’t mind waiting, but I hate waiting when the purpose is lost. I came for a poster that was supposed to be ready within one hour. I came back for the poster, had to ask for somebody to be in their station, had to hunt down another employee to look for the person to be in their station, waited another 5 minutes, and then was told that they were understaffed so that I had to wait for another 3 hours. Why are there not more people trained for the photo department?!

Excellent Customer Service from Randall in Electonics. He went out of his way to find a laptop I wanted. It was in another store but he held on the phone. Then went out of his way to find me in the store to let me know the one on Technology in Irvine had one.
Thanks Randall

Funny that Irvine has one of the WORST Walmarts I have been to. This place is a dumpster fire of a store. I used to live across the street from a Walmart in Orange and that was at least tolerable. I mean does anyone really like coming to Walmart? My guess is no, but you have to do what you have to do.
I work by here so at times I need to run and grab something. The store is pretty unorganized. Stuff in the aisle ways all the time. No real rhyme or reason as to what they place in displays. And dont get me started on the check out registers. They stack them 2 to 3 deep and it’s just a cluster F of a line. No one knows where to go or if you can move in front. They need to just add self-​check outs here. It may make things better… but I doubl it.
Irvine you have your mark in life now and it is this Walmart. Soccer moms and OC house wives can rejoice. CHEERS!!!

Close them down… close them all down I don’t care!
I’ve been debating for a long time if I should write this review. Let me start by saying that I’ve only been here twice and have never bought anything from them. First occasion that brought me to this store was that I was looking for something that got discontinued at Target. Second time I took my toddler here to look for toys. Both times I couldn’t get out here quick enough. EVERYTHING they say about Walmart is true. I don’t understand why people come here and expect great customer service. Let’s be honest… Y’all come here looking for cheap prices. I can honestly say I don’t know how much cheaper it is compared to Target but either way I don’t care bc I don’t shop here. Given the location it is cleaner than the Walmart on Beach (can’t think of city only been there once) but at the end of the day it’s still Walmart.

Never shopped here before but I just called to ask if they had something in stock to save time before I head on over to buy it.
Someone told me they were going to transfer the call to another department and they did, but nobody picked up, after waiting for 5+ minutes. Called again, said no one on the other line picked up, and before I could say anything else, they said they’d transfer me again and did so. That doesn’t really solve the problem when no one’s on the other line does it?

I shopped this specific Walmart two days in a row as a bunch of my coworkers got together and «adopted» two families (8 kids) total for Christmas. We had a lot of shopping to do.
Today, I placed an online order. After waiting a long time to be notified that my order was ready, I called the store. Everyone I spoke to was really nice and helpful, especially Jeanette. She went above and beyond to help me. I really appreciated it!

Like most people, I have a love hate relationship with any Wal Mart, including this one.. I love the prices and variety of a lot of the items, like herbal supplements, personal care items such as soaps, lotions, etc., electronics, and some of sports items like tennis balls. I have bought small appliances, cell phones and TV’s here. Price is the best reason, and they have a good return policy. When I bought my Samsung phone, the on and off button didn’t work. With my receipt two weeks later, I stood in line at customer service and they just refunded my money. Then, I went to the electronics dept. and bought another one that worked perfectly. With herbal supplements, the prices on the stuff I buy are less than sale prices of the supers and competitive with on line companies, like turmeric, fish oil, and Cholest off. This store has a discount table that competes with 99 cents only store, like a 15 count bottle of generic napoxen for 99 cents called «All Day Pain Relief» and 40 count generic Advil (ibuprofen) also 99 cents. There is also a 40 count bottle of calcium carbonate (a la Tums) for the same price. Look for it near the blood pressure machine by the Pharmacy.
Now for some negatives.
1. The parking here is horrible, like all Wal Marts. Since this is Irvine, thy limit the number of entrances and exits into shopping areas. So, during busy times, you’ll be in your car with your patience being tested. Thank God for radio. 2. There is almost always some guy asking you for money in the front. I never trust these guys and just walk on by. How do we know what he collects doesn’t all go into his pocket? 3. During busty times, the lines are ridiculously long. This is a great time to check emails and Unilocal and to call your mom. The worst line could be the customer service lines. 4. The clothing is mostly low end. 5. Employees run the gamut of good to bad in terms of helpfulness. 5. If you have a conscience (I realize some don’t) you may not like that a lot of their stuff is not made in the US. You hear reports about how poorly they treat their employees and how their employees treat customers.
All that aside, I am glad they are here. And, that they’re in a relatively safe area. One tip I have is that if you go early when they first open, the lines are less and most of the time, they are well stocked. And if you totally hate Wal Mart, Target is not too far away at the Legacy.

If you are looking for something and you want help like how the workers at Target would walk there and show you. Get out, go to Target instead. Walmart is known for not being so nice but it is known for having lower priced items than any supermarkets I know.
The Walmart here is considered clean to other Walmarts I have been to before. Customer service is slightly better but not the best.
That being said… Get what you need and be happy :)

One of the good Walmart, staff are friendly and everything you can get here, will come back…

I’ve know many have come to expect deep, poignant, provocative reviews from me, but this is Walmart people. Nuff Said.
It’s a pretty big location and Parking sucks, but that’s true for most all Walmarts. For being how old it is it’s cleaner on the inside than on the outside. The best part of the place is the produce area, always stocked, good variety and right up front. The departments that suck is baby food, automotive, personal items, hygiene. The baby food selection is small, the automotive section is missing some key items, personal items like deodorant are always a mess, never stocked and hygiene like condoms are also the same. Plenty of beef jerkey and mark down blue rays. They don’t get the big rushes after work like most because of the proximity to business’ people stop in during lunch breaks. I actually prefer to do double duty at Chase, Garbanzo, jersey Mike’s and walk here than try and park near Walmart and walk to my other destination.
See my tip for who not to get as your cashier. When I buy an item for $ 10 and I give you a $ 20, and you tell me I need more money, myself and the the guy behind me says I handed him a $ 20 and you refuse to acknowledge your mistake, yes I’ll call you manager and yes the footage will show your wrong, the least you could do is apologize.
Go to the Technology location.
