I had to return some distilled water which I bought in abundance from another walmart store, when I got to the store customer service desk I was the shocked to see the attitude of the women who was helping me, I was trying to get her name but she did not even have name tag, she was like I am not going to refund you the whole amount since the other store messed up your billing, I was like«what the hell?» I did not say that, I begged her to help kindly she said there is nothing she can do to help, later I spoke to the store Co manager Mr Mark who was super nice guy and he just asked the same lady to refund the said amount, she was able to do, I don’t understand if she could have done it earlier why did she hesitate to do it, I really wanted to put her name here but she is lucky that I have not seen her tag. It’s people like her who ruin the reputation of walmart, I am giving 5 star to Mark and 0 to her arrogance.

Good selection and clean inside. Lots of ample parking and easy to drive in and out of. They need to work on faster customer service at the tills and/or ensuring there are not long lines. It can get quite busy in there and then there is the dreaded line up. Has a McDonalds and Tim Hortons if you want to grab a bite. Overall well stocked, clean, organized and spacious store.

Out of all the Walmarts I have visitied, this one is probably my favorite. Not because it is really anything spectacular, but maybe because they figure things need to be a little bit more well-kept in good ol’ la-dee-da White Rock. I find the layout of this location more convenient and the interior to be the least depressing. Yes, we’ve graduated from that strangely-colored walls, warehouse-y, Superstore-like look that leaves the 8 year old in me just wanting to go home, and I’m glad. Produce here is so-so, so definitely smell your melons and squeeze your apples(no dirty jokes here, just plain quality checking!) before you buy. On the downside, they never seem to have my false eyelashes in stock, and they took out self checkout, so now I actually have to interact with other human beings. Ugh.

This place depresses me beyond belief. Bigger than you could even begin to imagine it to be, the building interior is a dizzying colossus of garbage and florescent lights. Why do they need all of this space? It’s like a cancer, spreading its repulsiveness and killing small businesses in its wake. What’s worse than that? How about abandoning a perfectly good(albeit ugly as fuck) building with monster parking lot that is the Walmart of the past, to rebuild a «Super Centre» that is even more grim than the mammoth that still exists, but remains empty because it isn’t as convenient for the lazy or uneducated or uncaring people to shop(also, the poor, obviously. But that’s a whole other conversation that isn’t appropriate at this juncture) But I digress. Obviously, I’ve been to the Walmart, so who the hell am I to preach? Just so happens that Walmart sells helium tanks and megaphones, both of which are a necessity for my job, and both of which are surprisingly hard to come by. Also, Walmarts of the world have this strange thing where they encourage RVers(is that a word?) to sleep overnight in the parking lot, meaning that Walmart also has power in the parking lot. Meaning, that if a person who lives in an apartment had a big messy job to do that involved power tools, this is an ideal place to do said job. Not that I’ve done that… *cough* Also, they sell food here. In Walmart. Food. Somewhere between the XXXXL shirts made by tiny hands in Indonesia, and the 85″ televisions, and the car batteries, is food.

I didn’t know Wal-Mart carries fresh groceries! I thought maybe they had evolved into a Fred Meyer, but I was informed that only the«Super Centre» ones have vegetables and dairy. Makes sense. I liked the Italian section, which has good and cheap«strained tomato» and pear nectar. Also stocked up on crackers and whatever was on sale. The clothing section was interesting — «George». I wonder who came first, him or Joe Superstore. As for my «Asian Grocery» benchmarks, it had Daikon radish, but no Ponzu. Self-Checkouts available. The machines weren’t fussy. The cart-escalator looked a bit scary, but was interesting. The downstairs parking is great! Don’t need to worry about the rain.

yes I get that they have everything and its cheap but seriously. why support big chain businesses like this. All the cheap crap breaks and you could be supporting local independent stores and on a whole feel a lot better about where your money is going as a consumer. Unless you are a single parent with like 4 plus kids, please avoid Walmart. Way better stuff basically everywhere else. I was here once and the staff were also just talking and completely ignoring me as she was ringing in my few things. I wont be going back ever again

I have avoided Wal-Mart for so long in Surrey just because it gets so crowded and you basically have to fight your way through isles. This Wal-Mart however is much better then all the others I’ve been to. The isles are plenty wide enough to get though, and it’s big enough that it doesn’t feel super crowded when it gets busy. And, if the weather is crap, they also have underground parking, and a nifty shopping cart escalator to get your stuff down under with you. If ever I need to shop at Wal-Mart, this is one of the few I don’t mind going to.

It’s a big place and you’ll need a few visits to get to know every department. Lot’s of checkouts but the self serve always seem to be off when I go shopping. Best time to go is not on weekends unless you go close to opening or closing hours. Open from 6am to midnight, best hours indeed. 24hours would be nice for emergencies but they do need to clean! Lot’s of parking and close to other shopping stores if you can’t find what you need here.

A really big Wal-Mart. It’s like mega Wal-Mart, and if you need to buy something which is sold out at other Wal-Marts, you’ll gonna find it here. I wouldn’t drive here all the way from Vancouver unless you want to buy something that’s not available at other Wal-Marts. If you’ve been to Wal-Mart Super Centres in the U.S., it’s no different at all. It’s like comparing Safeway to Superstore when it comes to size. There is also a full grocery section with produce, dairy, frozen, and meat. The grocery section is cheaper than Safeway for all items.

Yes, outside of the Provo/Orem(for sentimental reasons) this is my favorite Wal-Mart. Good parking situation, clean, big aisles, easy to get around, and not too much of a gong show when wanting to check out I’m definitely not a Wal-Mart hater. My wallet has no prejudice.

I’m a fan, but not THAT big of a fan… The thing is that they carry everything — but you can’t find anything! There are so many different departments, but it gets so confusing! It has its good points though… Where else can I buy everything I need for a party under one roof — form paper plates and cups to cakes and games! Sounds like a lame party, but believe me, it was great!
