Walmart

I honestly thought I was at the local dump when I walked in. The people who were shopping there all stared at me, and it dealt really awkward. Then people kept asking if I needed assistance and after saying no to 10 different people I just pushed my cart away and left. The prices seem good at a glance but I know what’s going on in Africa and it’s messed up. Walmart I hope your corporate age comes to an end.

A very bad experience with Walmart. My e-​mail to them is below.

Thanks for wasting my time Walmart!
I was searching for a new treadmill and after much research, decided on one from your store (link below).
The reviews were good, the price (on rollback), was excellent and most importantly, your website showed it «IN STOCK» at several of my local box stores (Edmonton).
I drive a ½ hour to my nearest store and ask for them to find me that treadmill.
After 15 minutes a very confused sales associated explains that not only do they NOT have that treadmill in stock, but after digging around in the Walmart joke of a stock system, he has determined that this treadmill was DELISTED as a product MONTHS AGO!
Yet, your website shows it as IN STOCK and on ROLLBACK!
Thank you very much again for the huge waste of time.
I bought a treadmill from a local competitor and had a very pleasant experience there. I will skip Walmart in the future and will be posting this as a review of my Walmart experience elsewhere on the internet.

I agree with Carina, this location is my preferred ‘Walmart’ when I have to shop at Walmart. It seems to be less sketch, and maybe not as crazy busy as other locations I’ve been to.
I do find that this store still has a lot work to do in keeping products on the shelves. It seems as though any item that’s on sale is difficult to find in it’s regular home. Most of the inventory has been pulled for an end display or 4-​way.
They have a fairly good selection of fresh & frozen food. I’m usually found in the freezer section. I can just about always count on them having the lowest price on some of my regular items, but I find the prices can fluctuate greatly. As soon as something is no longer on sale and reverts back to the non ‘sale’ price, it always feels like it is higher than it was before it went on sale.
It can be hit and miss too to find what you need/​want, there might be a brand that is widely available everywhere else, but not here. They’re just so choosy with their vendors.
If I had more funds for personal care items and packaged foods, I’d shop elsewhere.
Getting through the checkouts here is a battle at least 75% of the time.

Oh Wal-​Mart. How society loves to hate you. I am not going to talk to the store too much because I think we all know what we are in for when we go here — low prices and relatively lower quality.
This one is a super center so there is fresh produce — and I have been quite impressed with the quality of fresh fruit. If you are picking up the grocery basics keep in mind they don’t have anything remotely off beat, examples would be no unsweetened coconut, and no apple butter.
The overall higher income of St. Albert provides a couple benefits for this Wal Mart location; the young adults that work here are generally friendlier and more helpful as well as the clientele isn’t as sketchy as other locations around Edmonton. This also translates to a tidier store, with more items on the shelves and an above average level of cleanliness.
I try to support local business as much as I can, however when a Wal Mart trip is needed this is my go to location.
