Walmart

Honestly the worst store I’ve ever shopped. Staff in the the store itself were fantastic and knowledgeable. Shelves were more or less empty (after Xmas but I can’t imagine that there was a huge gift giving of throw rugs). I walked around for almost an hour as nothing was in the place it should have been.
When I finally went to cash out, 9 lights were on with no cashiers. There were several standing around in a corner, none paying any attention. One cashier was standing at a register, light off, not paying any attention. I asked her if she was open and she blankly stared at me. I asked her again and she mumbled something. I said I’m asking because your light is off and she rolled her hours.

We can’t really shop here. Our debit cards will not work in either the terminal or register. If it’s an emergency we’ll get cash from the atm first, but sucks paying that fee.
Our cards work everywhere else without fail.

This is a Walmart.
Meaning, it’s large enough to get lost in, and yet they don’t seem to have anything you’d actually want to buy. Also, the customer service is abysmal, and no one knows whether or not they stock essentials like slip ‘n’ slides (they don’t, because they switch the novelty items over to Halloween in early September).
That said, they did have a sweet «Minions» piñata that made our friend’s birthday/​life.

The associates are mostly friendly and try to be helpful. The issue is the shelves are always sparse with products. You CANNOT get milk, cream, eggs, or bread in here over the weekend. out of stock. Can’t get items like Fruit of The Loom sweat pants/shorts.never restocked. Toothpaste/​deodorant/​pain meds… hardly ever instock. I don’t know who’s responsible for inventory, but it’s a mess. Also, I went over to an associate in the health care aisle, who was completely annoyed that I interrupted her conversation with another employee, asked her about an out of stock item, she pulled out her inventory gun and said yeah, we have the item in stock, but it’s in the stock room and I’ll never be able to find it. Fabulous. Go to the Walmart in North Kingston… WAY better.

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced in my life… dirty and rude associates

This is the first Walmart and only one on the island. You def get the finest of people coming through here. I always come with a purpose and get out as soon as I possibly can!!! I hate Walmart and the people that seem to flock and hang out In one!!! That is really all I have to say about Walmart.

Walmarts are all the same. You need one in every area. The best prices and they have everything from clothes to hardware to toys, etc. it’s a great go to store and now there is super Walmart which has s grocery store. What more could you ask for. Lower prices with a great selection .
It’s not my favorite place to deal with only because it’s always so busy. Cleaning products are the best savings just a little after thought.:)

I called asking if they carried a filter for a water bottle.
«What kind of batteries does it take?»
«That’s an insane question. It’s a water bottle.»
«I know it’s a water bottle. What kind of batteries does it take?»
«It doesn’t take batteries. You put water in it and drink out of it.»
«Oh ok, hold on.»
She transfers me to electronics…
At this point, I am wondering, am I the insane one or is there some kind of incredible electronic water holding device that I am not aware of? Well no, after being transferred to 3 more departments, 15 minutes later, I was speaking to someone in housewares.
«I don’t know what a Camel’s Back is but we only have Brita.»
«Thanks.»
I was really just thankful I didn’t waste my time by setting foot in this awful store.

I really wish that I could give this place zero stars. I went here to pick up some items to finish wrapping gifts. As I am approaching the cashier — there was no hi how are you, welcome to Walmart. Noooo she kept her conversation going with the next cashier over — in Spanish! How rude is that for customer service. I actually have chalked it up to that is how people on the island are. I am not from here and basically over the last 3 years have developed a bad taste for this state. This probably why I have done so much online shopping since living here. Stay classy RI!

Probably the worst Walmart I’ve been to in a while. That being said, it is a Walmart so if your looking for a large selection of reasonably priced stuff it is what it is.
This is not a super Walmart so groceries and food are limited at best. The lighting is awful, and the store is dated and not so clean.
There is a dunkin donuts inside the store, but there are 8 other dunkin donuts in newport/​Middletown so I probably wouldn’t go here if you were looking for donuts.
On the plus side there’s a stop and shop in the plaza so you can buy Walmart stuff and then get groceries without going multiple places if you’d like.

Very rude customer service at the return department. Had bought a Jeep suitcase from here for $ 80 with lifetime warranty that was the sticker on the bag. Approached the manufacturer as it cracked in the middle no email back or call back. Their web site says go to the retailer which in this case is Walmart firm no says can’t do anything (Please get in touch with manufacturer). You guys being so big can’t toss customers like this. Why don’t you approach as you have the rights and details of the company. Otherwise don’t mis market bags with lifetime warranty for $ 80.
I did call Walmart head quarter after about waiting for 10 minutes on the phone got a person listen to my query and end of the conversation said call the store manager.
P.S Staff in the store was very nice but did not have access to solve the issue. Called the Newport Store manager was very rough on the phone.

I wish there was a way to give this particular Walmart Zero stars. Its not even worthy of the one that I just gave it, but since I want to write this review, this is what it gets.
I shop here when desperate. Otherwise I go to a Walmart in a neighboring town which is actually clean and the employees have personalities.
I had to run to this Walmart today, The only thing I can say is that they had everything on my list.
Other than that the store was dirty. there was a fire here a little over a month ago and I would have thought that they’d clean a little better after the fire, but no. The store still has a slightly smoky smell to it, and I shopped fast because it was starting to make me sick. I went to the self checkout, so I could bag my items the way I wanted to and the attendant or whatever shes called gave me an attitude because I had over 15 items. I’m spending over $ 100 in the store. I’ll go to whichever checkout I want to. end of story. I scanned and bagged everything in my cart, under the watchful eye of the Witch, like I’m going to steal a dollar bottle of bleach or something. paid with my debit card and got out of there into the fresh air.
As I said before, they had everything I went in for, so the store is pretty well stocked, somewhat organized, but not clean at all. The cashiers are rude. the only pleasant experience I’ve ever had is the rare occasion I’ve needed something at the pharmacy, or when I checkout in the garden section. The cashier that’s usually there actually has a personality, which is a nice change.
So for your own sanity, avoid this Walmart unless you’re desperate or only need a few things, use the self checkout so you don’t have to deal with the rude cashiers, you might just get the Witch that was there today. and beware, she’ll count your items!
Try the store in Swansea, or even Raynham, Ma theres no self checkout in Raynham, but the cashiers are friendly!

This Walmart is always disorganized and rarely have had a good experience!

Ah, NOW I know why they’re widely regarded as «evil» …
There’s no Rice Vinegar! Bastards! They hate Asians! I saw it for myself, in aisle 12. (Though not really aisle 12 — it just rhymes with ‘self’, you see).
Also, get this: cat food. We’ve got my baby on the ‘Elegant Medleys’ and while yes I do agree that perhaps choosing ‘elegant’ food for your cat does indeed mandate a punishable pricetag… .76 per can still beats the local grocer at .89. BUT! Get this: McQuades would NEVER try and dupe you into buying a 12-​pack for $ 9.48. Yeah, I whipped out my calculator, and ya know what .76×12 = $ 9.12.
DON’T TRUST EM.

Your typical Walmart. This one is conveniently located outside of Naval Station Newport, so since the commissary is closed on Mondays, the Walmart works good. All of the workers I asked helped for were helpful.

Do you like shopping in messy stores? Do you like being yelled at by cashiers? Do you like said cashiers being so close to your face that their spit is flying in your mouth? If so, SHOP AT THIS WAL-​MART!
However, I do not think anyone on Unilocal!is a lunatic so they probably won’t like those things.
This Wal-​Mart is small, unorganized, fully staffed but no one is ever around to help you, and the customer service is horrendous.
Even if all you need is a tube of toothpaste, please do yourself a favor and pay the extra 50 cents at Stop n’ Shop.

There is no other way to put this. The Newport Wal-​Mart sucks! It’s on the small side, messy, extremely loud… the first word that comes to my mind to describe this location is trashy! I thought that all Wal-​Marts were run like this until I visited a few Super Wal-​Marts and Wal-​Marts out of town and they are so much more pleasant to shop at. Even the horribly designed parking lot is a mess to drive around. If I can help it, I’d rather get my things elsewhere. Booooo!
