Walmart Supercenter

I went in at 7:30 am to get couple of money orders and get few things on Monday morning 2÷15÷2016. I was told the night before that they open at 7am the customer service center and will be able to get the money order from them. I walked with my 3 year old and there was 2 employees behind the counter. One of them walked out the area as soon as we walked in. The other one, a heavyset older lady, turned away from us and walked back and started flipping over some tubs and straightening some things all while I was saying for service at the register. My daughter was been a chatter box as well and I was talking to her. After waiting for few minutes the employee looked up and said” Oh. I didn’t see you there.” I am calling B.S. on that one. Then she told me the money center won’t be open until 8 and I would have to come back then. Now I know for a fact they can do money orders in the customer service center because I have gotten them from there before as well as the money center. I was so irritated by then I walked out and took my business somewhere else. I will probably go back but will never do the kind of shopping I used to do the there before that incident. Customers are who keep you in business and employed. Be curtious to your customers and do your job.

Shortly after returning from a weekend trip over Labor Day, I discovered that my car battery was dead, so I headed to my local Walmart (#577) to get a replacement. This was Tuesday (⁹⁄₈). I got in my car this morning & my battery was completely dead again. Since I had just replaced it less than a week ago & being advised that it could be a problem with my alternator, I had my vehicle towed to Firestone right across the street. I got a call after lunch (from the honest guys at Firestone) that it was not my alternator, but the battery I had purchased less than a week ago, was manufactured ¹¹⁄₂₀₁₃ & was no good. After having them replace the battery, I returned to Walmart to return the faulty battery that never should have been sold to me in the first place & get the $ 120 back that I paid for it. The young man at the register (Lee) was very courteous & did apologize for the inconvenience, but did advise that he would have to call the automotive manager (Eric) to authorize the return. Judging by Eric’s attitude, I can completely understand why customer service is so lacking in this store. If he is a «leader» in this store, it is clear to see that your management training is lacking & you could care less about your customers. He was by far the rudest, most unprofessional manager that I have ever encountered. He actually tried to blame the fact that they sold me a faulty battery that was nearly 2 years old on me and at first insisted that there was nothing wrong with it! My husband & I have previously used Walmart for tire changes, oil changes, in addition to everyday household items, but will not be returning for any future purchases. Your blatant disrespect for your customers has lost a customer for life & I’ll be sure to let everyone know what type of service they can expect from your «management».

I stopped by at 6:20pm on Tuesday, July 21^st to get a simple oil change. A guy came up to the car to let me know they were short staffed and it would be about 30 minutes before they could start. I said that was fine because I had a lot of shopping to do in the store. Surprised that I was willing to wait, he then said he needed to go check with his manager. He walked over to three men leaning against the side of the brick building doing nothing, I heard the «manager» laugh and say no way. The guy then walked over and said his boss was being a jerk and was refusing to service my car. At least if you are going to pretend to be too busy, don’t have four guys standing around doing nothing without a single person inside the garage actually working.
I then went over to the Jiffy Lube across the street and was greeted with a smile and they performed my oil change in about 10 minutes. I then did my over $ 200 in grocery shopping at Target.

Terrible customer service. Messy store and rude employees. I will never walk back into a Walmart because of this location.

I have patronized this Wal-​Mart location for over 10 years. Until today I have received typical retail service. Today I was purchasing earrings for my daughter. After waiting for some time the employee helped a couple who was there before us. I am ashamed to even report what happened next. A minority couple who arrived after us was helped first. I politely stated that we arrived first and requested help. The employee, who was also a minority, refused to help our family. When my wife reported this to customer service another customer who was a minority said this employee has demonstrated this behavior in the past. The store director was helpful but I cannot believe my civil rights were violated be a Wal-​Mart employee who was on the clock.

I’ll head to this Walmart about once a year. I never really look forward to it, but in reality, it’s fine. The parking lot can be a bit of a mess, but the store itself is fairly well laid out. Staff are barely around, but the cashiers tend to be friendly enough (and in the most recent case, extremely friendly). The selection is, of course, quite large. Much of the stuff is cheap crap, but they do have some quality products as well. That being said, my wife said that prices on the quality stuff aren’t much different than at Target, which I find a much more relaxing place to visit.

I never thought I would write a review for WalMart. They have their issues that many can list, but few take the time to actually compliment them even though they shop there all the time. I have been going to this WalMart for years and until recently, it was more of a chore than anything else. Now it has become a pleasant experience for one reason, Bill, the cashier that works on lane 1 on the grocery side.
After going through his line a couple of times, he remembered me. I can not imagine the number of people that he has pass through his line daily and to be able to remember his customers after two or three visits is amazing. I watch him interact with people as I wait my turn and his service is not saved for the regulars, although he does appear to have a fan club that frequents his check out line, like me. He is always smiling, friendly, makes small talk while being incredibly efficient. Things you just don’t generally associate with Walmart.
I have reached the point that when I walk in that is the first thing I do, look to see if Bill is working! I will wait in a line instead of going to an empty line for his service. He only works a few days a week and I do not know what days although I do seem to always catch him there on Fridays, but if you do stop by and see Bill working, make sure you check out in his lane!
Now if Walmart could just do something about the quality of their produce! (Especially the zucchini and yellow squash, it shouldn’t be soft when lightly squeezed, just saying. And strawberries should not go bad in 3 days… I’ll stop…)

As far as Walmart’s go this one is ok.
Like I have said of other Walmarts I usually only get Milk and Clif Bars here. Although I have started to notice that their can goods and paper products are very well priced.
They are also great to stop in that last minute before a Birthday party because you forgot and grab a gift card and a greeting card.
I have filled prescriptions here because they have generics for $ 4 and every dollar saved is awesome and can go towards more fun items.
Everyone I have had as a checker or stock person has been friendly and helpful. I usually go over my lunch break and they haven’t been worn down by the day yet. I have noticed go later around 1pm if you go at noon it is packed.

I’m not a huge Walmart fan, but sometimes they’re worth checking out. I’ve only shopped for groceries here, and only for staples, not meat or produce. They have a pretty good selection of groceries, actually, and some occasional surprises, like frozen REAL jumbo lump crab cakes (which are pricey, even here). Lots of ice cream, including premium brands like Ben & Jerry and Haagen-​Dazs (they have the sorbets, which are excellent). There’s also a fairly extensive selection of Mexican items — they even carry Coronado brand cajeta (Mexico’s version of dulce de leche, made from goat milk). It’s the best brand and not everywhere carries it! Another thing that’s a good buy is the store-​brand lactose-​free milk — much cheaper than the name-​brand at the supermarkets! What’s nice is that if you can’t find what you’re looking for at Walmart, you’re just minutes away from a Hen House, a Hy-​Vee, an Aldi and a Price Chopper, all on E. Santa Fe. Quite the concentration of supermarkets in just a few blocks!
Didn’t check out the restrooms, so can’t comment on them. Service was friendly — one of the kids working there stopped and asked if he could help me find something and was able to point me to the right aisle.

What DOES it take to get them to clean the front restrooms? I’m truly ashamed at how nasty they are. Today I told customer service, and an hour And a half later, thanks to baby bladder forcing another visit, nothing had been done. Still no soap, still overflowing trash cans, still shameful poo accident in stall #1. Still empty towel dispenser.
And where are the helpful friendly staff who are supposed to walk you to an item rather than point in a general direction and mumble, «it might be over there.». Oh yes, can someone’s mommy please teach the cashiers two basic things: my bread ALWAYS goes on the top, and since this IS A NEW blouse, do you suppose you could FOLD it and PLACE it in the bag, rather than roll it in a ball and jam it in the side of an already too full bag of FROZEN FOOD!!!

I get it; we’re supposed to hate Walmart. Yes, I understand they’re evil. But you know what you’re doing when you walk into one, and I refuse to give this place fewer stars when I know what it is, but still choose to enter.
The quality of produce and meats are pretty poor. I once bought a package of Dole strawberries (that I checked for rot) on a Saturday, and when I went to wash them on Monday, the whole thing was furry with mold. Their meats seem to turn color sooner than you’d expect from their «good till» dates. But I will admit that they carry meats you wouldn’t find at snobby Hen House… ox tail, tripe. Oh! Another thing is that their milk always seems to go bad before the expiration date. So, minus their «fresh» foods, the rest of the groceries are just fine — frozen foods, pre-​packaged stuff.
Pluses:
one-​stop shopping
open 24 hours!
this is one of the bigger, cleaner Walmart «Supercenters» around
other services: bank, hair salon, nail salon, optometrist, Subway, Redbox
In summary, don’t go to Walmart if you need fresh veggies or an awesome cut of steak. It’s more for a «Crap, my kid needs black posterboard for school tomorrow, I’m out of peanut butter, and we might as well stock back up on toilet paper even though it’s 10:30 at night» trip. You’re likelier to leave satisfied.

WAL Mart is destroying America…

Meh, average Wal-​Mart with average amenities. I don’t have much else to add, so I won’t.

Thank goodness Walmart got sense to open another Walmart. When all of Olathe and Gardner was going to this one, it was pure …
I refused to go anytime on weekends and evenings. Most of the time I would wait to shop after midnight. Now that Gardner has their own and the nice K-​7 Walmart for us downtown Olatheans. The blackbob Walmart isn’t as bad as it use to be. They’ve also wised up in removing all of the pillars of stuff in the middle of the aisles. Feels so much roomier now. I still have to go here because it’s still bigger than the K-​7 Walmart, hence more stuff. At least I don’t have to wait until after midnight anymore.

I really hate this place so much. I mean the produce section is really useless.
Unless of course you love apples with worms in them or moldy potatoes. Or black cilantro. Rotton tomatoes. Papaya so soft, a drop of water can fall on them and bruise them. And of course the list goes on and on. Wait a minute, did I say REALLY DISGUSTING POTATOES?
And what REALLY irks me is the hugely annoying staff here. There’s two kinds. The 40 to 50 year olds that have a problem with you putting on a baseball glove (no REALLY! testing a BASEBALL GLOVE?). Even worse are the power-​trip starved individuals that have a problem with you taking a football, and tossing it to a friend in an EMPTY store aisle just ONCE.
And sadly, there’s the old folks. The people who (not by their choice) have to work at Walmart because every other business on Earth blatantly disrespects equal opportunity employment. These folks walk around in store sections you know they really should not belong (Meat dept. Automotive, heck even electronics for Pete’s sake. Hey, you didn’t start reading a one-​star Walmart review and expected not to get some controversy?) Really, these individuals are better off going to the front of the store to hold hands with their best friend from high school, the infamous GREETER.
It’s a pretty sad thing when you need help and you are afraid the dude is going to get a heart attack on the spot all because they he’s nervous at the fact they don’t know where Cliff bars are located.

I used to always go to this Wallyworld and did it really more out of convenience. I was never really impressed with their grocery selection and the produce always looked like it was 2^nd hand stuff and you really had to look at all of the food with a suspicious eye. I’ve since moved from that location and rarely ever go there anymore.
However, I was there just the other day to help a friend out since he had just bought a garmin and overpaid. I did a shopsavvy scan on my G1 phone and found it was cheaper online at
. Well guess what? The store doesn’t match their own online pricing, which I found comical. We asked the electronics supervisor why they wouldn’t do this and they said they just don’t do it. That was the best answer she could give us. So we went to the front counter and I told them, «Listen, you can refund the money and we will go to Best buy and get it for this price or you can match it with an override.» Let’s face it, they price match all of the time, but they didn’t want to do it and told me that Best buy no longer price matches and it would be a waste of our time. We said we would take our chances, got the refund and went to BB.
Guess what??? BB priced match w/​o any questions. I ended up buying 2 new Garmins too. Wal-​mart lost 3 sales on Garmins in a matter of 20 minutes. Needless to say they lost two customers when it comes to electronics. I am sorry to drag this on, but that happened on a Friday. I was doing some research over the weekend and found that the Garmins we bought went down in price at BB. Went there on Monday with a receipt and they gave me back the difference. Make sure you check stuff like this out people.
