I'm staying in the area for a month & overall, this is your run of the mill, what's to be expected…read moreWalmart... good selection of all kinds of products, fairly fresh produce, good quality but slightly pricey meats & huge selection of frozen & canned foods, if that's your thing. The store is always a bit disorganized with racks of clothing blocking the path, items discarded by shoppers on the wrong shelves & some shelves needing restocking, but I feel that just goes to show how many use the store on a daily basis & how it's understaffed, like most big box stores. The ever full parking lot alone tells you how many shop here throughout the day/night.
I don't echo the commenters speaking to rudeness of employees, but, I don't know what they're expecting... this is a WMart, where the local masses come for bargains & is the only one within miles, so it attracts all kinds of workers & guests. There is also a huge extended hotel directly across the street, further adding to the entertainment one might find roaming about, but then again, I'm a kamikaze shopper & am in & out as fast as my strappy sandals will carry me. As far as strange employees... well, again, it's a WMart, so I'm not expecting a Neiman Marcus experience. We all come for the same reason... cheapest prices around, convenient location with lots of parking, everything under 1 roof.
Bonus: Open 24/7. Note that around 9-10pm (I forget now), you can only enter/exit through 1 door, so if you're a late night shopper, park over by the left entrance (when facing the bldg).
This location also has:
* Brand new, small, 2-4 chair Hair Salon... unfortunately, located right across from the registers, so your neighbors can see you get your fancy curly perm. Still prices are reasonable ($14+ haircuts) & the young women are pleasant. Might be better for kids or men getting quick cuts, since we women prefer a little privacy when traipsing around with a tangled, wet mane.
* Small bank kiosk (I forget which branch, but I'll update next time I visit)... you'll find it by the ever present line of customers, especially military staff, to the right of the registers (when entering the store).
* Vision Center, which never seems to be staffed. I've wanted to get my glasses tightened for a week, so hopefully, I'll find someone present within the next week.
* Pharmacy... (just inside the right door). As in most stores, busy & always a line.
* Rumor also has it there's a Tire & Lube Express & Photo Center, but as I'm not looking for them, I haven't noticed them.
* Connection Center for cellphones, in Electronics.
The cons?
* Floors need to be cleaner, especially near the produce isles & meat cases.
* Grossly understaffed & the wait times are reflected in the attitudes of annoyed shoppers everywhere in the store. There are long lines at the deli, bakery & all the aforementioned, besides Electronics (if you can find an employee in that section to assist you). Paying a few extra staff to prevent long register lines, in particular, would be most appreciated. Even your staff seems a bit flustered at time. It's not going to break the bank of the Walton family to add 1/2-dozen stockers & cashiers.
Overall... standard WMart. No better, but no worse than any other I've seen.
3* out of 5. I only shop when I need something cheaply, it's the only place around as I'm traveling and I'm prepared to wait in line, even for the self checkout lines.
