Walmart

Horrible customer service! Sucks this is the only store on the island. Never shop at Wal Marts anyway. But when you have to go here for simple things its upsetting. The employees are never happy. Puts a damper on your day going here.

Zero customer service… Try and find someone for help and call me when you do because I will be jealous.

Horrible customer service. Called to ask about 1 item, just seeing if it was available at this location. I was transferred to electronics, where the phone rang for 2 minutes, then put on hold for 12 minutes. I called back and put on hold again for 4 minutes before the manager or whoever answers. He then put me on hold to get a hold of someone who knew what I was talking about. Then came back on the phone a few minutes later saying they didn’t carry the item, I went to the store today, and later and saw it there but I had already purchased elsewhere. Wouldn’t recommend this Wal-​mart to my worst enemy.

Wanda Clement in the toy department was extremely helpful. I am very appreciative of her help in locating a hard to find item and calling me back at 10pm (as promised) to give me the details on it. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Unfortunately, the store itself looks very run-​down. It’s a typical wal-​mart experience of wandering around aimlessly looking at tiny price tags on thousands of generally useless, cheap quality items.

As far as I’m concerned, two stars is the best any Wlamart can do in my eyes. As an organic farmer, I detest all that the corporation stands for. While I do admit that I make the occasional purchase of something I need at random at 11 PM on Whidbey Island when absolutely necessary (It’s not my fault it’s the only thing within an hour drive that carries toilet paper and drill bits), but 98% of my check-​ins at this store are because I donate blood here (this store is where the Puget Sound Blood Center sets up on the first Saturday of every month).
I’ve never had any major issue with an employee, but it’s difficult to find one at times.

This place is literally the epitome of why Oak Harbor, WA is the single most obscure and dull place you will ever have the displeasure of visiting. Please escape while you can. You will find that life in Oak Harbor slowly turns you into the colorless person you never wished to become. Complaining about dirty toilets and no extended grocery sections? Is that really what your life has come to?

I’m so used to super wal marts that I was a little surprised when I first stepped into the store. It has everything but the extended grocery section. They do have pantry goods, frozen foods and smaller selection of fridge foods, so if your shopping anyways and there are a few things you have to pick up, there probably isn’t a need to make two stops. The clothing section is very lacking though. On my way up, I stopped at a wal mart somewhere around Eureka to pick up some eye drops and a snack, and saw a lot of women’s winter apparel that actually looked cute, and at the store close to where I lived in central Cali, there was usually a strong staple of cute sun dresses and simple tops. I couldn’t say that I found anything here worth my time to even look at.

So today I went to Walmart to put my baby girls Xmas toys on layaway. This is where I felt I needed to Unilocal…
I walked in back to customer service, and there was a VERY patient lady waiting at the desk. With nobody to help her. I took my place behind her. And we both waited. As we stood for about five or seven minutes with employees walking by us in and out of the back, I finally stopped a girl, who seemed to want nothing to do with me talking to her, and asked her to find someone to help us. She said: Ya, okay. So we waited some more, and another lady appeared behind me. As we waited longer, I ended up walking my happy ass all the way across the store to the front where a girl finally put on loud speaker for someone to help us. By the way when I was going to the front, I passed the beeotch who obviously never got anyone to help us. Finally after waiting all that time, and losing my place in line. The MANAGER of the store came to help all of us. It was a load of crap. He was nice, I should’ve said something to him, but he did come help us… anyways, ya that wasn’t cool, and hope that Walmart and all of its hundreds of employees some most lazy, get it under control. I shop here every week. So I claim the right to complain once in a while :-)

Good overall store. Friendly associates.

Typical Walmart. See the previous reviewers link to people of walmart.

I have a little cabin in Greenbank, WA, so I visit this WalMart fairly infrequently (it’s about 30 minutes away from our place). But, when I do, I feel like I’ve entered the twilight zone. Granted, I don’t often shop at WalMarts, but for some reason, I feel like I’m on acid [not that I would know what that was like] as soon as I walk through the doors there.
The Good:
*The people who work there are a lot nicer than any other WalMart I’ve been in.
*They have a large selection of everything I’ve never wanted, yet end up buying any way. (One-​stop shopping!)
*Seems fairly clean to me, but I’ve heard reports from friends that they don’t feel the same.
*Good prices (duh).
The Bad:
*Time loses all meaning here. What you meant to take you 10 minutes takes about an hour, plan accordingly.
*The shoppers are very, very, interesting… I followed a man in who was pushing a shopping cart, and he just shoved it and let it fly towards the greeter and continued his way further into the store.
The Ugly:

Overall, it’s a great place to get what you need on Whidbey, because they have a lot of things you need!

I believe this is where dreams go to die and where wifi routers can be purchased on the 4^th of July.
We needed a wifi router on the 4^th — WalMart was the only retailer in town that was open — and on our walk through the place to the router section, there was a palpable sadness; no one here was having a good day. The place would stay open ’til 10 pm… no rest, or fireworks for the weary. Every staffer we talked to (3, total) were sad, not grumpy, but just sad.
I almost never shop at WalMart and this experience makes me more resolute to never shop there again— the employees seem so miserable there.
