Terrible service; looking for bag of planting soil. It was outside. I went to outdoor department and out of 3 assistants no one could tell me how to get the bag from outside so I could buy it. Got the run around and 2 assistants had trouble speaking English that they gave me their phone to translate. I'm not against other nationalities but there must be a better process for communication. Finally went to checkout and they just looked it up and charged me and told me to drive over to the pile of bags and grab one. Took almost 1 hr to get to that point. read more

I went to purchase sunglasses prescription with a young man named Josh, Round frames with black lens. Go pick them up and they're brown tint, he showed me very dark lens and that's what I want. He was on vacation will be back Tues. The manager was trying to make me think that's what I ordered. Irritated. read more

I arrived at this Walmart to return an item that I had purchased at the east Walmart. The women at the service desk today (5/24/26) essentially accuse me of trying to return the incorrect product, said that it was too old or too dirty, I explained that I was a mechanic and that the device was not functioning. Well they said you did not even purchase it here.... Aren't all Walmart locations corporately owned? She said they're not all the same. The item was an ONN brand item, and she did not stand behind their own brain. I felt like she was accusing me of some sort of deception. She was disrespectful. I asked her for her name. She refused to give it to me, although I did see that it started with KO and there was another woman who was sitting on a chair that also covered her name tag what a horrible experience on the west side of Madison I am sorry for those who have to deal with these kind of people. read more

Walmart - Department Stores Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

See all

So me and my friends were literally just sitting in some chairs we were GOING TO BUY -- and this Walmart worker had the nerve to tell us he thought we were lying. Like, excuse me?? Sorry we wanted to make sure the chairs were comfortable before spending our money here. The attitude was unreal -- acting like we were criminals for trying out furniture. We ended up leaving because the vibe was just gross. Maybe train your staff to have some manners before accusing customers of lying. Never shopping at this location again. read more

Prices are pretty good and the items are in stock. They are located close to my house.

Buddy and I went into Walmart to obtain some board games. For a bros night. As you do. The shelves were extremely stocked well. Looked great for a Walmart. No complaints here. No McDonald's or subway in this Walmart though makes it an inaccessible place to shop for a long time. Would love if they added in one of those. read more

Was guaranteed delivery of an item and it was all of a sudden unavailable. I needed it today and now I am left with no options. Will tell the family we are going to KFC. Thank you walmart. read more

Store was convenient but very smaller then the other Walmart's. I am not a fan of scan it your self with a lot of items. There was no workers on the registers. The employees also don't know much about we're things are located in the store. read more

Terrible store - will not go back anymore. I will go to Target - rude employees, can not get through isles, products just junked up on shelves - terrible!!! read more

Not to diss my home state, but you really haven't seen a bad Walmart until you've been to Florida. So, I must say that this Walmart, to me, is beautiful and wonderful, as far as Walmarts go. I have never had an issue here and have never had such a positive Walmart shopping experience as I have here. (Seriously... Go to Miami or Tallahassee Walmarts and then you'll see!) I haven't had problems with stock, item quality (I do research before purchasing unknown brands etc.), asking for help finding an item, or checking out. In fact, the check out is one of the easiest and fastest that I've ever had at a Walmart, with the friendliest clerks. I regularly come here for those Walmart items that are just so much cheaper here than elsewhere. I sometimes feel guilt afterwards because of the whole big-box store thing, but I guess I have found ways to work through it because I keep coming back! read more

What a dump! Rude workers clogging up the skinny isles with their carts. They DO NOT have fresh meat! WTH? But plenty to f room for imported Chinese garbage....Target is a mile away and you be much happier going there..... read more

I have been shopping and picking things up here for many years.. 2 weeks ago i had a pick up order.. Called spoke to a very very snippy women who left me on hold for 25 minutes.. I finally hung up and called back I asked for the manager.. A ruder awful man picked up the phone and told me I was in the wrong place and he would bring my order out.. He spent 5 minutes lecturing me about the pick up spots. The 3 signs indicating pickup were at floor level and attached to sticks.. Every spot had an empty car parked there.. He then threw my purchase through and open window in my car and walked away.. I called corp.. they could care less.. I will never ever shop here again.. If there was a negative score they would get that.. read more

Full disclosure. I'm not a Walmart fan. The west side location is, in my opinion, a dump. Whenever I go there it's busy (and I'm not just talking about Christmas shopping!). If it's not busy, there always seems to be someone wandering out into an aisle and stopping - for no real reason, but blocking all foot traffic. It's a frustrating place. While they've done a lot to improve the store - adding in food & produce notably - I'd still rather hit a Target or Costco for my needs. It's just crazy in the store, and I'd rather pay a little more to avoid that. Usually, the folks working checkout are very nice, and that's a positive way to end a typically frustrating run through the store. The second star in the rating is because they carry 5-quart jugs of oil for my car. There are even some car-centric stores that don't do that. At least not the oil I need, which is not uncommon. So, a couple times a year I suck it up and dive into my local Walmart to grab my oil supplies and whatever else I might need while there. Otherwise I avoid it if I can. read more

It's Walmart. It's not the best Walmart in the area, but it has everything. I feel silly for writing a review for Walmart because it is what it is! Everyday low prices! As with anything, low prices mean crappier quality items, but I'm not upset about that. I have to admit, I did have a hard time navigating this Walmart the first time I came here. It was not like the other Walmart's I have been to. Shampoos and stuff were tucked away in this extra section - it's hard to explain. It's not a perfectly rectangular store is all. read more

I was just there today 04/28/22 around 11:41am using the self check out kiosk. I was paying for my groceries, when I noticed a young man having issues with his card. I was going to buy him the jacket he was trying to purchase as an act of kindness. I asked the young man if he would like me to purchase the jacket. Of coarse he politely declined. No problem, of coarse I insisted because I know some people may feel embarrassed and I really wanted to purchase the jacket for him, especially if he really needed it. I do not know this young man's financial situation and it is cold outside. I was going to the register he was just at when "Lucy" a Walmart employee says so rudely and condescending to me " He said, he doesn't want it!" She proceeds to go to go over to the registered as I am about to grab the jacket and scan it, when she gets in front of me and grabs the jacket keeping me from scanning the jacket!! Never in my life have I encountered this kind of rudeness, to literally keep me from purchasing an item at Walmart! Why did she care anyways?! It wasn't coming out of her pocket! Thanks Lucy, for not allowing me to complete my act of kindness with your act of rudeness! Talk about horrible customer service talking down to customers and blocking them at check outs doesn't scream employee of the month! I hope you can see what you could have done differently in this situation and learn some manners! read more

This Walmart (7202 Watts Road, Madison, WI 53719) is a very nice store with almost anything your are looking for. It has an excellent Pharmacy, Photo Center, Vision & Glasses Department, Coinstar, key making in the sports department, Minute Key machine etc. Excellent garden center. The store is very clean and organized. The shelves are always stocked and item are always available. Excellent location just off beltline highway. Easy to get to. Many registers always open. Can get congested at times at registers depending on time of day but normally short wait times at registers. Also love that they have self checkout registers. Prices are very reasonable with excellent quality and super exchange/return policy. The bathrooms are very clean and maintained. Above all, the employees are exceptional. They are helpful, friendly, courteous, helpful, and very knowledgeably...they are great! Great job Walmart and staff!!! Has a SUBWAY®Restaurant in the store which is very clean, well maintained, and has excellent/very friendly employees. Always fresh subs, meats, vegetables, like all Subway Subs I have visited. read more

Never fail, my shopping at Walmart West on Watts Road is ALWAYS a pleasant happy experience. There always seems to be a friendly available associate in every department, always happily offering assistance without my even asking. Checking out is also always a delight. Always plenty of checkers with minimal line waiting. I've noticed that the checkout staff are not only smiley, friendly and interactive with customers, they also are the same with their fellow comrades/coworkers, and generally seem to to be having fun and sincerely enjoying their job. Kudos to this Walmart's management/supervisors for their obvious awesome ability to promote a wonderful positive work experience for their staff/employees. It shows, and your customers notice and are appreciative. Keep up the excellence of service! With gratitude, Kimberly M. read more

Do you know you can buy alcohol at Walmart? Me neither. That alone brings it up a star! But don't lose sight that it is still Walmart. Bare bones. Sparse. Employees that never look like they want to be there. Cheap comes at a price. read more

I'm going to elaborate on why this is the dirtiest, crappiest Walmart. Many comment on its size. Remember this is an original Walmart. Not like the Supercenters. It appears they tried to put some groceries in this location to make it competitive with neighboring retailers. That wasn't a good idea... This location seems to attract a lot of not-so-great customers. Please don't yell at your family members in the store. This Walmart is not well kept what-so-ever. The parking lots needs refinishing, the interior could use a face lift. The merchandise needs to be reorganized. Why do you need to pack so much crap into a store? Go over to Target and take a few lessons from there store planners.... Avoid this location at all costs. Madison Area Walmart's tend to be poorly maintained. The combination of a crappy store and a not-so-desirable neighborhood. I'll stick with Target. read more

It's Walmart. The pluses were that it wasn't insanely busy, there were multiple registers staffed, and it was clean. I avoided the bathroom so I can't tell you if that was okay, but a woman did walk out of them with a comfortable expression so I'm assuming her experience was decent. The cons. And I'm not comparing to other stores, simply to other Walmarts. This is a smaller location and has a smaller selection of items. The layout was also really off for me-the clothing section seemed to take up half the store, yet the few items I looked for that I know exist were not there. It also took a few laps for me to find what I needed. The patio/garden section was minuscule, but the associate in the area asked the three women (including myself if we needed assistance, so that's still a bit of a plus). It sounds like their associates were missing in action or ignore the speakers. As I walked past the fitting room I overheard an associate looking for a manager to pick up a phone call for Toys that had been on the line for 15 minutes. I heard the department paged a few more times, so I hope the person waiting had the patience of a saint or the store was stocked with a smooth manager. Either way, I managed to get the few items I needed and was out the door within fifteen minutes, an amazing feat for Walmart. I think it took longer to maneuver through the crazy parking lot. read more

One of the worst Walmarts locations I've been too. Always dirty bad and rude customer service in their return/ exchange area. No one is ever able to help you especially in the electronic department or they aren't knowledgeable at all. Only gave it a 2 star rating because we live close and if we need something we may come here out of pure desperation. When we saw hundreds of Walmarts would be closing this year we hoped this one would be one of them...we weren't that lucky. read more

Would give 0 if I could. Picked up a Walmart.com pickup order and a 2 L of fruit juice missing when I got home. I called and the pickup employee said that means item not in stock, but I said no because there was no notification and the order indicates it was there. He said he would check and get back to me and call disconnected. He never called back either. I called store and after no manager. I went back to store and 5 employees just standing there talking. Manager (said she was) gave me attitude and said we are only human and make mistakes. I understand this and wasn't too angry at first until could get no one to answer home. The so-called manager said she never heard page, probably because she was too busy talking. I should be compensated for gas and time. I told manager that orders should be checked before given to customer and signed off by employee. read more

Its a Walmart. They have pretty much most Walmarts do. Yes, this one doesn't particularly have much selection for the grocery section, but do remember... This is not a Walmart Supercenter, so don't give it a lower rating because of that. The bathrooms are kinda gross, and look a bit run down, but overall this store is pretty clean. They used to also have a McDonald's inside, but it is now a Subway, which is nice, the smell of that bread just pulls you in while shopping. Overall, if you just need something quick i would recomend Walmart, but if you a super picky person and everything bothers you, probably not for you. read more

Pretty small Walmart. Not as big as a superwalmart and they didn't have a vegetarian section in their frozen foods section.

Yeah!!! Thanks to the nice lady in the sporting goods who helped us getting fishing license before our fishing expedition in Sturgeon Bay. Also, my wife found some shades that fit over glasses for my mom. So, everyone was happy for this 1 stop shop. I also got some over the counter for sea sickness for some of us. read more

This location is one of the smaller walmarts that I have been to. Only reason I come here is because it's location by my house and the red box right at the door by the exit. They have the normal things that most walmarts do, but the grocery section is lacking. There is no fresh meats, all frozen. One thing that I do like is that I can go through the garden entrance and be at the sporting section very quick to buy my fishing permit. read more

Here are my pros- Lots of items you can get for a lower price than anywhere else. Lots of employees who recognize you when you are a frequent customer. Always lots of lanes open so wait time is never very long. Open until 11pm which is late enough so no one has to work all-nighters. Pretty clean and organized. My cons- Lots of scary people wandering around inside and out. Not sure why there is not security. Always makes me nervous. Lots of the same employees are there A LOT! I know people need hours but that also can compromise customer interaction. P.S. Don't wear blue. Someone thought I worked there. I told them I didn't but could help them anyway. Hmmmmm...... read more

It is a Wal-Mart... however, if I am comparing this Wal-Mart to other Wal-Mart's that I have been to, this location is definitely lacking. Surprisingly, it is normally very busy, which leads to sometimes having popular items being out of stock, including grocery items and healthcare items. It does need a renovation because the inside looks outdated. Friendliness of the staff is a hit or miss. I've experienced staff that went beyond expectations to help me, while others seemed like they hated their jobs and wanted nothing to do with me. For extensive shopping, I choose to go to the supercenter Wal-Mart or Target. But if I only need a few things or a redbox movie, then I bite the bullet and go to this location. read more

Every time I walk into this store I'm met with the overwhelming aroma of B.O. It's as if they scrub the floors with armpits. I can't wait to get out before the smell permeates my clothes. read more

Yesterday I went to Walmart and I was in the aisle of the dressing room waiting for my daughter with my cart . An employee than fame to be out of no where told me to move. I said "excuse me" she said move you cart . I was surprised in her tone of voice very rude . I than said could you at least say please . She rolled her eyes and said please. I moved and her and another lady started laughing. I returned and asked what her name was she said "Kim" with an attitude. They should go to a customer service seminar very rude employees working there, I expected better coming from Walmart. Bad experience. read more

Worst return experience ever. I bought something on walmart.con. Went to the store to return it. They said that it is third party item so return is not possible in store. This looks like Walmart's desperate effort to compete with Amazon. Very poor customer service. This is a disaster relative to the news that Walmart was going to make returns easy. I am never shopping Walmart online again. Nobody should. read more

I went in to pick up a tv that was ordered by my uncle who lives in Alabama, for my mother for Christmas. When I arrived they couldn't find the order, then they told me that my name wasn't on the order even though a store associate helped my uncle with this process. The store associate at this location told me that there wasn't anything they could do and refused to attempt to remedy the situation in any way. They will only hold the tv for a week and I am keeping my fingers crossed that we can get this sorted before they send it back :( I understand mistakes happen, but I was not impressed with the way they blew me off, refusing to take any responsibility for the situation, or help me to remedy the problem. read more

Rather mediocre service tonight. Barb, who did my checkout, seemed like she was trying not to realize where she was. She didn't look at my eyes, or my feet, or appear to be looking at anything in particular behind or beside me (though I'm absolutely sure she wasn't blind or anything like that.) The way she said "Hello." "I'm good." and "Have a good evening." without any emotion or sense of interest made me wish she hadn't said any of them... Hope she is doing alright in life. read more

I use to love coming here it's a nice store and I go her mostly for my business to shop for auto supplies. I just can't recommend this place anymore as the guest service came to a cliff dive. I went in today and the cashier had apologized for the way a customer was acting but the customer was nice towards me since and since I was waiting because the cashier didn't know how to do her job the customer let me go after the cashier had forgot to ring up the toilet paper. So finally when it was my turn we tried multiple time for my card to go through. However there was nothing wrong with my card. I check my card activity and it didn't even say an error or nothing so obviously their card read er wasn't working and the cashier should've gotten a supervisor or a employee to help her. But she was getting frustrated and telling me that I don't have enough funds lol. It was a business card and I transferred more than enough funds and apparently she was covering her face as she was getting stressed so I had it with this employee she failed to resolve the issue she didn't get help she thought she was right but she wasn't and had to get upset instead of being professional and doing her job. Granted as me being a customer I got upset and left because I will not continue to do business here. I hope Walmart does something and hopefully this helps make them better and for people to choose wisely where they go to shop. read more

Okay. Tonight marks the last time I go to this Wal-Mart. I went with the intention of buying some sort of Tablet. When I got to the section, a gentleman was being taken care of by Lauren. They were in the middle of getting a GPS ( I think) so I decided to go down the isle and look at antennas and do a quick turn around. On my way back, a lady walked up and explained that her GPS didn't work in Canada. Lauren didnt have an answer for her (understandable) and the woman said that she had some other questions when she was finished. Lauren got the man's item out of the case and away the three went. I stood there for a good 5 minutes waiting for her to come back. No Lauren. She ended up coming over close to where I was and proceeded to get out locking cases from a cabinet. She stood up and looked at me and gave me this weird look and I said, "Will you help me?" As we were getting out 1 tablet at a time, she kept hold of the boxes like I was going to run off with them. Really? Lauren should have been taught how to take care of one customer at a time and acknowledge others who are waiting. A simple, I will be with you in a moment or I will be back in a minute sure would of went a long way. And to the woman who couldn't wait, you should learn some manners. read more

I shop at Walmart about once a week online. I love the prices and convenience of online shopping. However sometimes I have to return something to my local store and despite have original packaging all receipts order number and initiating the return online to the store I stand at the service desk forever trying to complete the return. Some of the employees r so computer illiterate they cannot complete the return. Get better people at your service desk!!!!! read more

Low stocks and somewhat incompetent staff.. no worse than most Walmart in general however.

This Walmart was super slow. I ordered one item online and went to pick it up. It took them forever at least 30 minutes to find the things for a lady before me, and at the mean time no one else came out to help me. read more

Isn't there any corporate oversight, this is obviously a privately owned store or something, how are prices here across the board $2 more on every item then every other walmart and half the selection, the store is plain uncomfortable it's designed so customers have to face off at every turn in every isle because there no room isles to small to crowded,lastly was there today from the moment I arrived to the moment I left employees talking openly badly about customers right in front of them disgaceful , been all over USA this one's original for sure, it's built to take advantage because there's no other options shame on the company for allowing its operation read more
