Walmart

This Walmart is also close to my house (another Superstore — but I’m pretty sure all Walmarts are turning into Superstores now) and located in a plaza right on Steeles. The parking is huge, you’ll never run out of spots. There is an Esso, LCBO, Lowe’s, almost all banks (except TD) and a few food places such as All-​Star Wings in the same plaza.
This Walmart is fairly standard, but I usually don’t come here because more people come to this Walmart as opposed to the one on ninth line.
Similar to other Walmarts, the whole right side is dedicated to fresh fruits and veggies, a small bakery section (front section). The rest of it are shelves of snacks, rice, pasta, There’s a row dedicated to detergents and cleaning products. In addition, there’s frozen foods at the back.
The entire middle section is filled with clothes!
At the left front section, there’s rows of medicine and like other walmarts, there’s sections for toys, a gardening area (in the summer), mechanical products, paints, bikes, etc.
You know why I would give this particular Walmart a four star though? BECAUSE THERE’S A CHINESE LICENSED SUPERMARKET IN HERE, WHAT?! Yea, that’s right. For those who don’t know this area too well, T&T on Steeles closed down and there hasn’t been a big supermarket (Chinese) around here. Well, WalMart decided to partner up with AlPremium (same boss as Oriental on McCowan and Alton Towers Circle area and put together this supermarket. Guess I’m coming to Walmart more for my groceries now.

Cashiers are still rude and so are workers on the floor. (except tech department… They’re not bitter)

Living 5 mins away from Walmart is soooo awesome! It makes my life so much easier. They have fresh bread every day. The rotisserie section and bakery makes any last minute get together and party less stressful. Just make a 10 minute pit stop when people surprise u by coming over for a UFC fight or a game night. Fresh fruits and veggies are so great. They have specials from time to time so you can stock up. Customer service is super!

This Walmart is way too big and way too quiet. It’s probably the biggest Walmart in the GTA, and that’s saying a lot…
I was searching for road salt (yes I know… road salt in mid-​November) in order to prepare for this upcoming winter. Unfortunately that mission failed, so I went to search other stuff instead and did manage to purchase some fuel economy items.
In terms of service friendliness I found this place about average. Obviously when it comes to Walmart I’m not expecting top of the line service, but at least some acknowledgement of thank you from the cashiers… which I did get. I also got a good response when I asked the assistant manager about the road salt, she kindly said they didn’t have any available… so there’s that too.

Poorly managed store. I was in line at the express checkouts and out of 7 cash desks they had only one open?! With 10 of us in line that makes no sense to me.

Other than it’s cool that it’s a super center for the Scarborough region, it lacks consistent customer service.
I was buying binoculars and asked a woman for assistance… She goes into the back to never return. Then I ask another guy for help after waiting 7 minutes for this b**** and he too leaves to never come back. Strike number effing 2!!! At this point all I really need is the damn key to open that stupid cabinet where the binoculars were… Like really people!?! I already knew what I wanted — the least you could do was effing hand me the darn key so I could this sh** myself! LORD!
Anyway, I’m getting pretty heated as yet another Wal-​Mart employee walks by and I am trying so hard not to yell and slap a ho* because I know she obviously has nothing to do with the poor service and actually goes into the back, disappears but comes back to let me know she’s getting the key for me. THANK THE GODS FOR YOUR EXISTENCE YOU WERE THE ONE PERSON NOT BUSY DRESSED AS AN ASIAN WOMAN SHOPPING AROUND ACTUALLY BEING AN LP LOOKING FOR PEOPLE STEALING, WILLING TO HELP ME FOR REALLLLL THIS TIME!
I don’t remember her name but by GOD she was great! Probably the ONLY reason why I gave this Wal Mart one more star other than its convenience for shopping purposes. Hopefully one day she stumbles upon this and remembers but that day was horrible… SO HORRIBLE that I remember I pushed a chair from the chair section to where the binoculars were so that I could sit down and wait instead of walking around for people to help me. THATS HOW LONG IT TOOK I COULD EFFING PUSH A CHAIR FROM ONE SECTION TO MINE LIKE GOD DAMN WHAT DOES THE COMPANY PAY YALL MINIMUM WAGE FOR?!? THE FU…
–end rant– Will be returning for food lol.

Line up is nuts today !

This particular Walmart is one of the two superstores in the east Markham area. The store is clean, big and as organized (or disorganized) as other Walmart stores.
To best describe it, please think of it as a normal Walmart, make every section bigger and add a really big fresh seafood, meat, produce and bakery section. The most unique section of this Walmart is the fresh seafood section where it sells live, swimming fishes. I have never seen another Walmart selling live seafood (definitely not at the 2 Richmond Hill locations nor the Stouffville location). I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that many competing grocery stores in Markham sell live seafood.
Parking is ample.

Pretty big selections of items, however staff atexpress checkout lines do not enforce the maximum 10 items which makes it a usual line.

I’m surprised that this Wal-​mart supercenter didn’t have any review.
I like this Wal-​mart as they have a huge food section, and with the addition of Chinese bakery, a full service meat counter, and a full service live fish counter, you can get everything you need under one roof.
they recently reorganizing things a bit, so some times it’s hard to find the stuff, and as always wal-​mart doesn’t have enough staff in each area for you to ask for help.
(things a bit in a mess too)
the line-​up are a bit of a problem too, just go for the multiple counter line, they usually have 3 counter open to serve a long long line, but it would be clear in no time, as it’s 12 items only special line…
