Walmart

My 2^nd home. I’m here almost every day. Great prices, clean and organized. I love walmart!

Despite Walmart having somewhat of a bad reputation (e.g. 2005 film «The High Cost of Low Price»), I do like this store. You get a little to a lot of everything in one place for rock-​bottom prices.

Another awful experience with the Site-​to-​Store pick-​up. I checked in on the Walmart app as soon as I parked at the lot. Then, I pressed the call screen when I got to the pick-​up counter. Lastly, I called the customer service number multiple times to get a live body to this counter. Even with all these steps, it still took over 10 minutes for someone to show up! No wonder most people hate Walmart!

Awful customer service especially if you order an item online and need to pick it up in the store. This is my poor experience on multiple occasions. There is never anyone waiting at the pick-​up area. Ringing the service bell did not summon anyone. Although this pick-​up area is next to the employee break room and the rest room, no employee ever offers to help find someone to help with the pick-​up. Even when approached, the employee would defensively say «I am on break. It’s not my job!» and walk away. The store manager should be fired for such poor management.

This Walmart employs many local young adults, mostly to stock shelves. There are people who say don’t shop at Walmart (some of whom may be vacantly repeating a message), but from a micro perspective, they aren’t that awful. At least they give the jobs to people from the community. The Target in East Harlem did that as well and it worked. You can see that people are comfortable there. They see their friends and neighbors, and it makes everyone happier and better off. It probably attracts people to the store, too.
A couple of stars off, though, because I get the feeling that there’s too much surveillance here. I swear I’m not doing anything wrong. But I just have reason to believe that there are people who pay a bit too much attention to who’s who and use it for gossip reasons.
So now I’m not going there any more, despite the convenience. I won’t say that I’ll absolutely never go. They do have just about everything you might need, and you can get it in a pinch at Wal-​Mart. Also, sometimes you just need to get out for a walk. It’s dark early now, so there aren’t that many options.

oy vey traffic jam you go inside everyone looks clueless and looks lost. staff is slim to none. 2 registers open with 2 million people waiting in line = NIGHTMARE
if you need to use this walmart i suggest going after hours…

Have I mentioned how much I hate Walmart? Well I do. But I actually don’t mind coming to this one. It’s clean, never crowded and the prices are good.
Buuuut it’s still Walmart. The workers are slow and sluggish. I was here buying one thing the other day and the cashiers light was on. I waited about three solid minutes for her to mosey on over to check me out.
If you have to go to Walmart I’d chose this one.

Never get what you need. Most of the cashiers don’t greet ! Also the only one Walmart over the entire country which refuses to give change in form of quarter stacks

If you think this Walmart sucks, you obviously haven’t been to the one in Union on US-​22 – now THAT one is terrible. For the most part, items here are stocked well and properly. I don’t recall seeing any clothes dropped on the floor or items on the wrong shelf or metal hanger. The main thing that bugs me is that there are a lot of items that have such a thick layer of dust on them, especially in the automotive section.
Employees here actually work, are friendly, and are helpful. Those are overly ambitious expectations and hell of a lot more than what I could say for the Union branch. Can you tell how much I despise that location? I feel like my IQ decreases each time I’m there. Okay, how about now?
The checkout lines can be slow since the cashier’s seem to be very calm, which is actually nice. However, I recommend the self checkout since they can move a little too slow at times. There’s someone there to help you in case you’re unfamiliar with how it works. There is plenty of parking, but it does get busy after work. It’s conveniently located across from Costco.

This is the local «good» Walmart. What separates a «good» Walmart from a «bad» Walmart?
They seem to have actually placed orders for things and stocked their shelves. Novel right?
They also seem to clean up messes people make. The shelves are in a somewhat ordered state and not a total disarray like they are in PIscataway or North Brunswick.
That said, the restrooms were totally closed the last time I was here. Also it’s still a Walmart. So the lines suck, the store is mostly awful, but it’s the best Walmart in a 20 mile radius for sure.

I’ve been to Walmarts in Pennsylvania and seen that there was fresh produce. Unfortunately this location had a disappointing selection and everything was frozen. I wouldn’t come back here ever again.

This will be the first review I have ever posted for anything. This walmart should be so pleased. I wanted to get my car serviced over at the tire and lube department today 3÷28÷14. I had arrived there a little before 9:30 am. Its a saturday… my weekend off. I needed new tires and surprisingly the day before I was having trouble turning the wheel of my car so I needed power steering fluid. For weeks I was shopping around for tires n found the best deal at walmart. The next mission was finding a walmart nearest by me (I live in hillside) that had a tire service department. Edison was the closest. So I called the tire and lube department a week a head to make sure if I needed an appointment. I called and it rang, and rang, and rang some more… someone picked up. Didnt say a word and hung up. I called back again, same thing but this time it just rang. So I figured let me call the regular walmart department which is customer service. I called and spoke with a lady. I told her I had called twice to that department and no one picked up. So she transfered me over anyway assuming this time someone will… and they didn’t. I called customer service again, spoke to the same lady, and now I had asked to speak to a manager. I guess she transfered me to somewhere which the line still had rang and rang. so I let it ring. I got a different person this time. I told her the whole story, she transfered me anyway back to the tire and lube department where still no one had picked up. The line must’ve went back to her and the same lady picked up and said «no one is answering?» ummm… yea obviously. So I told her all I wanted to know is if I need an appointment, thats all. So she put me hold, not even a minute later she got back to me with an answer «no u do not need an appointment.» So I guess I should’ve known by that incident that I was gonna have a problem there… But u know it was a monday, very early in the morning. I gave them the benefit of the doubt. A few days later I had a friend of mine call over there to the tire and lube department to double check for me if I needed an appointment. He spoke with someone and they told him that they were open 7 days a week and that you did not need an appointment however, to bring the car before 2 p.m. So here I am, it’s Saturday, it’s a little before 930. I walk in I’m standing there in front of one of the Associates at the lube and tire department. I told him I’m here to get my car serviced and he responded, «we’re not servicing today, but tomorrow we are.» I swear I think a bomb exploded in my head at this point. I felt secure and reassured that everything was gonna go smooth today. I pretty much had my day planned out. I was gonna get my car serviced, I was gonna go shopping in walmart while the car was being fixed n then leave as a well satisfied customer. So I just stood their for a sec as all of this is going through my head, n the look on the guys face was pretty much like he didn’t care. The first words that could come out of my mouth was, «I drove all the way from hillside.» He still didn’t care. So I just turned around n started to walk away… but then I thought no, let me speak to ur manager. His response was «he’s not here. He doesn’t come in till 10. I looked down at my phone…930. I was just so mad I swear if I could just hit the guy and get away with it, it would really make up for my morning. So I just left. I couldn’t bare to see the sight of this mans face anymore let alone wait around breathing the same air as him. So I drove back to hillside. Found the nearest STS by me, the guys there were very helpful, gave me a good price for everything and my car is being serviced as im writing this very long review which btw im so sorry if you are still reading this. I love reading peoples input on this as an average customer. I hate to be the bitchy person who immediately complains about every little thing and calls over a supervisor or manager to fix it and then walks away with something. That’s definitely not me! I try really hard to keep a clear state of mind especially when im under these circumstances. But you know, I didn’t get what I wanted today. Hell, I still have to go to walmart to do my shopping, but this time it’ll be the one near me (kearny)…lol. So yea, I vented… let u guys know how shitty of a day I’m having, and how customer service is at this particular walmart. Thanks… oh n that star rating I had to give, it’s because I HAD TO! You should feel privileged lol

Eh — It’s a Walmart
No different then every other Walmart in the world

I seriously don’t know why I do it. I always end up in a Walmart and I always end up regretting it. I feel I spend so much time hunting for what I need and dodging everyone and their inability to push shopping carts, that when I’m at my breaking point, I have to talk myself down from just running out the door.
I do love the wide variety of products I can get here, at great prices, but my sanity is severely tested in any one of these stores, but this review is about a specific location, so here we go.
For some reason, I felt like the store was sideways. Weird analogy, but I don’t know how to explain it. It was a big store, but I feel like the aisles were super narrow in a lot of places. I could barely squeeze by another customer and her cart in the chip aisle. Then, when you get to the end of a merchandise aisle, there is a ton of products blocking the main flow of traffic. So, while it’s normally impossible to navigate through the stores, this made it even harder.
There was me and my cart going one way, someone in front of me with their cart, two sets of people/​carts coming the opposite way. A family of 5 decided they didn’t want to wait and squeezed through the middle of our carts. All while 3 associates were waiting in line to get through the same way. Really??? I’m sure there has to be some sort of fire hazard violation the way the non merchandise aisles are set up.
When I got the the register, the lady was soooo slow and was more concerned about her conversation with the other cashier than she was with turning the register display so I could see the total. Yeah, she didn’t tell me the total. She just kept pointing to the backwards display, so I had to walk around my cart to see it.
I despise this place!

huge lines. chaos. severe depression sets in on upon entering as is typical when entering wally world. better customers than most walmarts though.

I love this walmart. It’s clean, located very conveniently to my home, and carries a wide array of items without being overwhelmingly big like some walmarts. The customer service could definitely use some work but I find that to be the case in most walmarts. Currently obsessed with the Dr. Teals line of Epsom salts and body washes from here.

Very clean though most Walmart’s in central NJ have achieved this same cleansiness standard even the much older ones as this one is only ~4 years old. Very convenient on Rt 27, less crowded entrance is on Rt 27 not off Vineyard Rd to avoid Costco Gasoline’s frequent backup. Next to Costco but not shared parking lot. Has everything you need & then some, nothing else to say about this standard Walmart experience.

Place is clean, things are easy to find for the most part. You can. virtually find whatever you need within reason, and in a pinch if nothing is open in the area, you can actually do all your grocery shopping here. All though there is a ton of parking here, spaces are tight. I also recommend avoiding this place on weekends as it’s next door to Costco and also a Petsmart is almost completed making it even more congested. Other than that, it’s Walmart, what do you expect Short Hills Mall?

Sometimes whenever I drive back from H Mart, and have the urge to stop at a Wal*Mart, I end up stopping here.
This is one of the more newer versions of the store, and everything here looked nice and most of the shelves were very well-​stocked. The prices here are competitive as well.
Just keep in mind that this store gets crowded at times, and it may take a while for you to get in and out of the parking lot. Otherwise, it’s worth stopping by!

I’m only giving this 5 stars because of the AMAZING people watching that can be watched here :) It really is a circus before you even leave your car, which is a good and bad thing :) If thats not your thaaaaaang, then you can enjoy the cheapo prices on almost everything in the store, including electronics (Yes, I will and ALWAYS will be a tech junkie :) :) :)) Now, the only reason I HAVE to come here on a monthly basis is because they do have the cheapest prices on prescriptions… ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE.
I WILL REPEAT THE LAST SENTENCE AGAIN– I HAVE CHECKED EVERY SINGLE PLACE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, AND WALMART IS THE CHEAPEST. When I say the cheapest, I mean at least $ 20 CHEAPER than Rite Aide, Walgreens, CVS, Costco and even my favorite Target.
Wally World aka Walmart is still a horrendous, yet HILARIOUS visit every time you enter their establishment.
Thank you,
The one and ONLY Amanda Cohen :)

I love this place. Prices are super reasonable. The only issue I found is that trying to find someone to help me in the electronics dept took over 20 minutes.
Way too long but in the end I got what I came for.
