Walmart Supercenter

This is such a shit Walmart. I hate hate hate this Walmart. The only reason I shop here is because of its super close proximity to my home. In addition to all the usual reasons people hate Walmart, this store is disorganized, messy, illogical, customer service is terrible, and most of all THERE’S PANHANDLERS AND DRUNKARDS milling around the store front constantly– as in ALWAYS. I’ve never not seen minimum 3 hobos out front. Not sure why this is tolerated, but it’s irritating as F.

The parking lot was huge and a mess of cars jammed into unkept parking spaces, large water puddles in the lot, and potholes, grocery carts everywhere, shady cars with possible drug deals going down. Inside is fine, but the bathroom smelled and was a total dump. The cloths are the cheapest humanly possible, and don’t stand up to washing, or regular use. I bought a bike once, and it kept breaking down. I exchanged it, returned that one, had a couple more adjusted by the guy that doesn’t speak English before I gave up and just got my money back.

I loved it as they carried variety of Souvenirs. I know how expensive it can get in small stores at Anc downtown. I shopped for some fruits, of course it is pricey compared to other states but hey! what can I expect in a place where everything has to be shipped. I am happy for what I got!

It’s a Walmart: it’s OK.
They have cheap crap for your house and your body.
Probably the cheapest.
There are lots of interesting people to look at.
You’ll probably get hassled in the parking lot if you take more than 5 seconds to get into your car.
The photolab is actually quite good. I was impressed by the prints I got here, and I’m a snob. WORLD’S BETTER than the prints I got done at Fred Meyer.
I only go here when I have to. Usually to buy something to clean my body with.
Sometimes you gotta go in here.

I’ve had a few bad experiences here already because unbeknownst to me, they opted to adopt the Costco policy of checking your bloody receipt before you’re allowed to leave the store.
I’ve now lost my receipts before the door on two occasions. The first time was due to my haphazardly placing it in one of the bags or in the catcacombs of my purse (only women understand this lol) and being totally embarrassed by being unable to find the damn thing so the dude could check me out. Pissed me off because I had to stand there on my bad leg convincing the guy to please let me the fuck out and do I LOOK like a damn thief? I promised to learn my lesson for the future and always have my receipt out upon exit.
Then it happened AGAIN because the damn receipt fell into a crevice and while I thought it was right where I had placed it, it wasn’t. So I had to go through the rigamaroll one more damn time.
I asked the manager at some point exactly WHEN did they institute this policy and why? Apparently there are a lot of shady characters that frequent this one (no shit, it’s Walmart so duuuuuh!) and they were having an issue with theft.
My suggestion: PUT UP A DAMN SIGN WHERE PEOPLE CAN READ IT telling them to have their receipts out so nobody has to go through the embarrassment I did lol.
As far as the inside goes, it’s like any other Walmart, although I don’t like the layout of the health and beauty section at all. Totally confusing.
Selection is typical for Walmart so no issues there and though this is a super Walmart, don’t expect it to be open ²⁴⁄₇. They close at midnight. Only one Walmart in this whole city stays open all night and that’s the one off Old Seward Highway.

In terms of Walmart, it was nice. Large selection of goods as usual with walmarts. Got some sick Alaskan shirts for cheap too

I find this walmart location to be quite nice on the outside. The store itself feels a bit crammed though and not as big as walmart usually tends to be. The staff was pretty nonchalant too. While they did have some craft items that I haven’t seen at the other locations, I doubt I’ll come back here unless I really need to and find myself in this part of town.

Photo center sucks! Waited over an hour for whoever was scheduled to be at the desk to arrive. I only waited because I needed the pic for a bday gift. When the guy eventually showed up I didn’t even get an apology. HATED IT.
Can you give a place no stars?

Just like that Walmart off debarr, needs new management and new workers. Only here where they have 2 cashiers open late nights. Then what’s with the 20 items or less line like are workers scared to in force the rules

6÷14÷2014− obviously the people here are still oblivious to their surroundings.
Go to the fish department… dead fish just floating around there.

They had plenty of Mountain Dew and Three Wolf moon shirts in Stock! However, the motorized shopping carts were all dead. :^(
I heard a rumor that they were getting the newly released Six Wolf Moon shirt, I went immediately to the return counter. The lady working there definitely missed the memo about the automatic MVP/​VIP status of the fellow Moon shirt people. She was rude (probably because she saw me wearing my Indian head dress wolf shirt and was jelious). Well anyhow, she was painfully slow, the line was super long (no VIP line for the wolf shirt people), a guy in line choked on his coffee (I think he was baffled I was returning my wolf moon shit and choked). Well, she stops servicing the curstomers, goes in back, slowly gets a mop and proceeds to mop up coughed up coffee. I don’t think she knew that wolf shirts give their wearers added senses and alertness and no one was in danger while the wolf shirt was nearby. 30 minutes later I give her my returned shirt and her mood changed before my eyes as she grabbed the magical wolf moon shirt…
Awwww wooooo! like the werewolves in London!

Everytime I’m at this Walmart location someone is either getting arrested or drunk people loitering. The workers seem to be disgruntled and probably under paid. Cashiers manning the checkout always seem to be lacking. Three cashiers for a busy mid town area, the manager needs to fix this issue. However, it is the closest walmart from where I live so when I hear people badmouth it then I turn into Terrelle Owens «it’s my walmart man, my WALMART!.»

They had what we needed for spending a few days in a cabin. Large travel item selection, surprisingly fresh produce, larger than average sporting goods section (where we got fishing licenses and bear repellent). We went fairly early on a Monday morning, so there was a small but quickly moving line. Had we shown up in the afternoon, I’m sure it would’ve been as others have reported.

I’m never going here again. Ever.

Wasted too much time here during our vacation… their PORTRAIT STUDIO sucks!
First we showed up for our appointment and the employee (supposedly the studio manager) made us wait several minutes to set up. Then she directed us how to pose and quickly snapped pictures. Then she told us to come back after 30 minutes, but by then she was not yet done and kept telling us to come back. Eventually she showed us the pictures on-​screen (not much editing and cropping was visible). We ordered some prints, shall we say OVERPRICED?
We transacted the payment and she told us to come back by Friday (3 days later) UNLESS she gave us a call. We did not get a call so here we come on Friday morning. This same lady opens a drawer while snidely saying «Did I call you?» Her tone was extremely rude. What a horrible attitude! We told her she said come Friday IF we didn’t get a call. She opened a drawer, pretended to browse through envelopes and said to come back later that day because she didn’t yet get the shipment and would then have to process it.
We show up Friday afternoon and that lady is no longer working. We never received a call. The new employee kept saying sorry and called up the district manager (someone in Washington state) who listened to our complaint and made promises for photo credits. Empty-​handed, we left and kept waiting… another week… and then it was time to leave Alaska and head home!
2 weeks later… our relative finally got to pick up the prints. We found that the prints and files on the CD were horribly edited– my brother’s head was even cut off partially! At this point, we have not received any of the promised credits.
Ultimately we regret even showing up to Walmart and wish we could take back this whole experience. What a waste of money, time, and energy… especially on our vacation! Don’t even step foot in their photo studio!

They have a little bit of everything, and usually a little cheaper then the next guy but it does seem like prices are increasing. I think you have to be of asian descent to work here. Also, I like that the stores are open early and close late.

not sure why there are such poor reviews
this is the cheapest place to buy stuff and stock up for a road trip
we were able to get everything we needed for our journey at this walmart
was great

The super walmart is coming!
It’s under heavy construction right now and this store is pretty busy.
It’s close to our Embassy Suites hotel, so you can always come here if you need last minute travel necessities or even more if you want to load up on stuff.

Nice big, bright signage, but other than that this WalMart is a dump.
Cold white floors throughout, this place is the epitome of bland.

I feel so deliciously trashy being the first to review a Walmart. Pretty close to downtown Anchorage, this location is on the busy A St and Benson intersection. They have a pharmacy, but this is NOT a super Walmart location (ie, no deli & grocery store). It’s rather large and pretty much holds what you’d expect at any Walmart in anytown, USA. Cabs hang out in droves in front of the store, handy if you need them. There is a restaurant in the store, and unfortunately, it’s McDonalds.
Only thing I don’t like is there are some unsavory types who come here, but it’s not anything to get into a twist about. Still a cheap place for everyday goods. Also, I’ve been noticing that they frequently have fewer cash registers open than what’s good to have normal traffic.
