My usual rule of thumb: Avoid Walmart like the plague. In larger towns, there's better choices -…read morethose other choices might be more expensive, but the extra cost gains me better quality of merchandise & less crowds. A price I'm willing to pay. In smaller towns, Walmart is generally the best choice. In Chadron, it is the best choice that we could find. This is one of those "super" WalMart's, so it has groceries, sporting goods, pharmacy - you name it, it's got it. Which was useful, as I forgot the Wedding card, need some pharmacy items, and wanted to stock up on some drinks for our after-wedding trip. And, everyone was actually friendly - not something that I associate with the WalMart's around where I live.

This store has fallen in quality and service in the past 3 years. I went in last week to pick up…read moresome essentials and decided to purchase a new nose stud. I sat at the jewelry counter for 5 minutes while the associate in charge of the jewelry counter talked with another employee. When the other employee left, the jewelry counter associate disappeared!!!! This isn't the first time that their customer service is lacking. Even the customer service associates are rude and act like they don't want to be there. I have been waiting in long lines at the checkout and noticed that none of the customer service desk employees or managers will offer to get on a register and help check out people. And if by some stroke of luck a manager does ask them to help it is always met with an exasperated eye roll. I am tired of this store's lack of basic customer service skills and will no longer be shopping here. There is nothing in this store that another store in town doesn't have. Some may argue that they have the cheapest prices, which may be true, but the quality is extremely lower as well. You get what you pay for.

I've never been that much of a fan of Safeways but after spending some time in Western Nebraska and…read morerural Wyoming, it's seeming more and more like an oasis. This one in Chadron had a dozen eggs for 99 cents - hard to find nowadays. They were "Grade B," but seemed just fine and they had brown shells. Several other things I bought were priced reasonably. I might not be back to this particular Safeway again, but I'll look for them in other towns.
