Walmart

Good things about this place.
They do sell Freekeh which is a rare grain that has 4x more fibre then brown rice. (Cracked Wheat)
Walmart is another way to get inside Lougheed Mall.
There is a McDonalds.
Bad Things
You can figure out after all the Unilocal Reviews about the place.

the customer service rep Hamida at the refund counter is very rude and have an unnecessary attitude!!! i was just asking her a simple return policy question and she gave me a totally unnecessary attitude! dear store manager Ms RJ, please review her performance and do something about it! Hamida’s attitude is unacceptable!

They refused to take my Canadian $ 3 World’s Best Cat Litter because it didn’t have «the website address» on the coupon and because it was «photocopied» when in fact it was downloaded from the website then printed. I even showed the customer service manager how I got the coupon on the website and downloaded it in front of her and then she still refused. Since then I have contacted Walmart Canada as it is the principle whether it is a 50 cent coupon or $ 10 coupon, the cashiers need to know how to redeem these coupons. I would say many of the employees are incompetent and that they need more training.

Fascinating way to enter the mall… the hideous faces of people who want a quick deal…
In all seriousness, its average for a Wal-​mart. I don’t see how it can be considered a superstore as all of the superstore qualities were forced into a small area and the Wal-​mart wasn’t designed specifically for them. The workers also seem dead inside, makes sense. This shows in their service.

I don’t know why this walmart sucks so bad. They have a lot of products that are missing price tags/​sale price tags. Today I went to buy a blender that was in their flyer and the lady at the till refused to give me the sale price. She told me to go to customer service and get a raincheck even though the blender was exactly as pictured in the flyer. Even though there were several blenders on sale in the flyer, NONE of the blenders in the blender section had any sale prices. It’s like they don’t want you to know what is on sale??? Also, the store is very disorganized compared to the N. Van walmart which is much better. Gonna try my luck at the new west store…

I hate Walmart. Their customer service really bad. I wait 20 mins to ask a simple question but… sign

I was going to say shopping at this Wal-​Mart is cheap in name only, but I will admit, some of their in-​house brand name products are cheap as well. But ineffective and shoddy, as well as cheap, comes to mind for much of the latter products.
Yes, they include a few well-​known brand name products «severely» marked down — in their aisles each week — but most of their recognized brand products throughout the store, are not priced any lower than other retail stores and supermarkets. And when it comes to fresh meat and produce, the prices at ‘this’ store are usually higher (often much higher) than the offerings at most stores in this area.
I live in this area, and walk, browse, and shop here (and nearby areas) on daily basis. Wal-​Mart is one of the places I go to first, usually not to buy, but to check out the highest prices being charged for meat and produce, then I head elsewhere to buy.
Heh, I do take advantage of «special buys», when they are what I want/​use (that instant coffee shown in another post being an example). For most things though, I’m very happy we have a couple of Asian, other markets, and other supermarkets in the area to choose from for most food and related stuff & such.
From what I’ve seen/​experienced, prices for most everything (all departments) have gone up since this store became a so-​called «Supercentre», and levels of service down.

Very busy here most times that ive visited. Even more so when there are good prices featured. Sometimes they run out of stock & yes store is sometimes messy but you cant blame it entirely on the staff. I was here on a busy Saturday & some unruly customer was tearing away at a box to look at its contents. I was talking to a guy at work & he said he d rather go to the Queenborough store because certain people are prone to doing that at the LH store. Id say bad behavior is bad behavior. Ive had confrontations at the QB walmart as well w unruly customers but blame it on the individual & not the store. Sometimes when im not in a fighting mood I just overlook nonsense. Staff cant be responsible for unruly customers. Oh im just adding to review as I was there Sat 3÷15÷14 .Maxwell house coffee on sale $ 2.97 reg $ 6.47 most places. I d expected empty shelves but to my surprise they had 2 skids. One upon entry & one in center aisle & no limit! For that I give it max stars. :).

What competitive advantages does Wal-​Mart have?
1. It’s open late (11pm)
2. Ummm… ugly in-​house brand stuff that nobody wants is cheap
3. Ummm… it’s another way to get to the mall
Their pricing really isn’t what you would expect from a company that made it’s name from selling inexpensive goods. In-​house and barely known branded stuff tends to be cheap. Established brands tend to be not cheap at all and in many cases are at full MSRP or even higher (since MSRP is denoted in US dollars and since we’re a little behind, Wal-​Mart takes the opportunity to tack on 10−20% more)
This store is poorly maintained. Product strewn about and not nearly enough staff to take care of the customers. The grocery section is pretty scary. About the only produce I’d ever buy here is potatoes because they have a longer shelf life.
The register lineups tend to be hit and miss. Sometimes you get through quickly, sometimes it’s agonizingly slow and because the queue is so long for the «express line», they have way more real estate with which to show you impulse purchase items.
You’d be surprised at how much more business they get just because they’re open until 11. It gets people accustomed to going there even when it’s not late.
Whenever possible, you should shop elsewhere.

It’s Walmart, it’s big and imposing and this one is not so bad to navigate. The prices are cheap, and the people are all surly, but you can get in and out in 20 minutes, even during holiday season.
They also have an impressive selection, I didn’t know there were various classes of freezer bag of freezer-​proof take-​out container-​like products until I went there. The checkout was a little strange but decent enough and fairly intelligent — wearing latex gloves cuts down on the risk of infection. Ingenious, though it’s about as attractive as wearing a face mask on a flight.
Then again, Walmart is not the best date locale so who cares?

The bane of my existence this Walmart is.
Not a supercentre. That just docks ya points right there.
Understaffed. The employees here are nowhere to be found when you need them, and if you do manage to catch one, you’ll be lucky if they know anything about anything or the location of anything that you’re looking for in the store. I understand if you don’t know where everything is, Walmart is big. But please tell me so, don’t walk me around the entire store, I can do that myself. Lines at the checkout are consistently out of control, to the point where I’m thinking, «Do I really need this stuff?»
This store is dirty and disorganized. Regardless of whether I come in through the outside or mall entrance, there are NEVER hand baskets available, I always have to go and look for one.
The only thing that keeps me coming to Walmart is my featherweight wallet and passion for cheap things, and the fact that the Poco supercentre is so incredibly difficult to get to.

With Wal-​Mart now becoming a fully functional grocery store, this store has become more and more unappealing.
If you thought finding things in this store was hard before, its even worse now. Finding an employee, let alone what you’re actually looking for is an almost impossible task. And when you’re actually lucky enough to find someone who works there, I can ensure that you won’t be lucky enough to find someone who knows that they’re talking about. In the end they have cheap prices but quite possibly some of the worst customer service in all of retail.

Go there to buy cheap and convenience… after a lunch… at the food court.

It is a Walmart so you get what you expect… good prices.
Now the fresh product for groceries aren’t great at all… poor selection and we won’t even talk about the organic section.
The meat and fish selection was better but nearly all frozen… not sure about the good healthy meat in that.
Now for all the rest, you get a decent selection of product for good prices, but don’t expect a good service.

Grrrrrr… I have such mixed feelings about Walmart in general. I love that stuff is cheap. However, the veg aren’t any cheaper than Kin’s down the way from the Walmart. But HOLY! Wow is the service atrocious! I know that going in, It’s going to take me another 20+ minutes to get through the line, and that’s if I don’t get charged for completely different items. Heaven forbid you have a question, and you’re lucky enough to find a) somebody that speaks decent english, and b) that actually knows where anything is in the store. However, if you have the time to kill, and know what you want and where it is, then go for it.
argh if only to not be a poor college student… then there would be no need to suffer through wal-​mart :(

Walmart I was joking about the grocery store thing. Oh god. Why Walmart why?
I really really hate this place. The last thing this place needed was MORE sections. Do you really think in this disaster kept store they are going to take care of produce?! Those 50 cent bananas are suspicious as fluffy bunnies they must have been robbed from some poor family. I mean at least people can buy real food here now but, it is well maintained? Probably not. Should you go to an ACTUAL grocers? YES! Safeway around the corner is usually open to 12 if it’s an you need a banana go there. SERIOUSLY GO THERE. It’s around the corner. I don’t even like shopping at Safeway and I’m recommending it.
Now somebody is going to whine
«nehhhhhh but I can buy everything here in one place like my food, clothes, and lightbulbs.»
Are you seriously THAT LAZY?! This place is in a MALL DARNIT. A MALL filled with many many stores with people that actually know their products. I dare you to ask a Walmart employee where something is let alone what it does. They have no clue. This store has too much stuff in it. Walmart isn’t a department store, it’s a disorganized black hole.
I admit I shop here begrudgingly because at 10 at night there is no where else open to get glue gun sticks, or art supplies but, I hate every second of this place. Also, this crap fest has put all the other stores out of business. You know the ones that actually CARE about their customers?! About quality? About organization?! Therefore most of the speciality stores are gone so if I need something I maybe forced to come into this ugly giant hole of DARKNESS filled with angry people, and screaming children. I come out feeling angry, and like I need to scream for a bit myself.
I hate you Walmart go put a paper bag over your store it’s an ugly eye sore.

Where else can u buy yarn at 10:30pm?
:) yay

This Wal-​Mart always seems dirty and disorganized. It also seems to be out of a lot of items or they just don’t carry much. I have been here a number of times and it never seems to have what I need.
The good thing about Wal-​mart is that a lot of their prices are less than others but one really has to do research as it may not be that much of a discount for what one is giving up.

One of the first Walmarts that the Lower Mainland received. I remember when it first opened, this place was a true zoo. It still is the busiest place for Lougheed Mall, as the parking lot going into this place is always full, and revolving. The one thing I give props to is that this store has stock more than the other Walmarts, as it seems like the hoarders are located somewhere else, or this one just carries more stock when a big sale is going on.
Sure this place has too entrances, one to the parking lot, and one toward the mall, so when a sale is going on, the product you may be looking for may be at the other entrance in a big pile. The one thing that really fascinates me, is looking at the ceiling here. If your at either end, just look at the layers and layers of halogen strips here, it seems to go on forever!

I’m one of those people who loves Wal-​Mart. Everything is dirt cheap, and with the spiffy new «savings budget» I have drawn up I have little room for fun miscellanious purchases.
However, last night I needed a few random items. Very random. London Drugs was closed, but that’s cool, there’s a Walmart around the corner…
I needed makeup sponges. None were stocked. I wanted those shoe inserts for old ladies (like me) because some of my shoes are actually half a size too big (chubby feet), they were also out of stock. I needed some curlers (old lady as I said), nope none of the old lady spongey ones.
I did get my bobby pins (so cheap), some hair combs (so cheap), and some Tide to Go (oooh they make minis! How convenient).
Then I stood in line for 20 minutes while the cashier slowly rang all through leaving each price check for last and then everyone just stood there staring at eachother while said price was said checked. Grrrr…
Stupid of out stock slow Walmart.
