Walmart

Should really be zero stars. Never have anything. Always wait in lines and extremely dirty. Oh to hope for a place within 20 min drive of here to shop

Dead! Worst walmart in history of shitty walmarts. This place looked like a salvation army with new clothes. The whole set up was shitty. Lots of empty shelfs lots of employees that dont know where things are at. By far the worst walmart i ever stepped foot in. They had this huge white plastic tarp in the middle of the store it looked like they were exterminating for bugs. Wont be returning here any time soon.

Awful. Just awful. Dirty, cramped spaces, nothing is in the right spot. No one is around to help you, and if you’re lucky enough to find someone they stare at you and are easily confused. We wont ever go back.

This particular store does not have a good selection of items. They do not have fresh produce or other groceries aside from milk and a few pre-​packaged items. Many of the employees at this location are extremely rude. Also, the quality of products seems very low. I have had to return several defective items that were either missing parts or just did not work properly.
Yes, I know it is Walmart. Their products are very cheaply made so they can offer cheap prices. However, the prices are actually not really all that cheap. I can buy more expensive brands at other places for almost the same price as the cheap ones at Walmart.
Don’t even think about ordering Subway at this Walmart. The lines are always ridiculously long with only one employee helping customers. The bread I received was so hard I could not bite into some of it. I ended up throwing the sandwich away. Last time, there were huge flies swarming around the food and I personally saw an employee handle food, ring people up and take money at the cash register, and then go back to making sandwiches without changing gloves. I walked away at that point and have not been back.
Most of the time, I drive close to 30 miles to go to our nearest Target. It is worth my time and gas money to drive to Target where they have better prices, better quality of products, and nicer employees. Our local Walmart does not carry any organic hygiene products (i.e. shampoos, soaps, laundry detergents, etc.) so I have no choice but to go elsewhere for those items.
Every single time I have been to this Walmart, there are about 30 people waiting in line with only 2 or 3 cashiers. There is one particular cashier who is extremely rude, so I avoid her line if at all possible. If the employees were nicer and we had a decent selection of products, I might be able to give a better review.

I try hard to compare like things — fast food to other fast food, coffee kiosks and drive-​ups to other coffee places. So Walmarts to other discount stores and one-​stop kinds of places.
In that context, this is a 2-​star Walmart. Mostly because of their incredibly limited selection. I went in looking for a couple of very specific things — which their online guide said they would have — and nothing. With each item I needed, they would have the right brand, but the wrong specific product. Or the right product, but wrong brand. Again and again.
I think this may be the smallest and most limited Walmart I’ve ever been in, which is a little surprising since McMinnville is a pretty good sized town.
And can I just say — not one smile from anyone working there. From stockers to checkers — nothing but frowns, huffs, and groans.

I came here with my mother in law. We had gone berry picking and needed some supplies for freezing them.
In McMinnville there isn’t any other place to go so it was unavoidable.
As far as Walmarts go this one is pretty gross. The place is tiny. Overcrowded with product but yet doesn’t have very much. There is no room for expansion of this store into a bigger one because of the location. But this Walmart could benefit from a makeover inside.
We were here for less than 10 minutes.

It’s a pretty typical Wal-​Mart. Clean and organized. The staff is helpful and somewhat knowledgable. Pharmacy is top notch.

An older 90s store recently remodeled with their latest signage and look. while this is not a supercenter they do have a small handfull of food items to choose from. Other then that its just the same as any walmart. They have a subway in store along with an optical and a pharmacy.
I live in Hillsboro, and been waiting for the Cornelius store to open up. September 2010 is when that will happen. Untill then I might be at this location at least one, may be two more times before then. They have good products and decent prices.

Too many people. Usually dirty.

I like this store a little better than the portland location. The person behind the counter was a little more my type. I’ve bought a few rifles here a while back and was ok with their prices. I’ve also bought ammo and other stuff here on my way through the area. Sometimes you can get a deal.

Why are there so many haters out there? Wal-​Mart is what the free market is all about. I can only conclude that those lobbying in the arena of public opinion against Wal-​Mart are solidly against the free market. But I wont get into a one-​sided debate on sweat-​shops and oiling the machinery of corporate America with the blood of the Wal-​Mart worker.
What I will say is that people are rude. And somehow they seem to get ruder when they are shopping at Wal-​Mart during Christmas time. This isn’t technically Wal-Mart’s fault, but they could do a few simple things to ameliorate the problem.
#1: Stop putting impulse-​buy items right at the entrance way of the store. Nothing is more irritating than knowing what you’re shopping for, knowing where you’re going, aiming yourself at the front doors on a mission to get where you’re going, and immediately being blocked before you can walk through the second sliding door because there is a bottleneck of people stopping and looking at crap they could find in aisle 23B if they really wanted it.
#2: As a corollary to #1, the idea of a greeter is nice, but it seems that one of the requirements to become a greeter is that they were born somewhere around the Harding administration. Couple this with the fact that they are also expected to serve a useful function of queuing up carts for people. Congeniality and speed is a difficult mix to pull off, (insert a pithy Sandra Bullock joke here), so what we have here is a second reason there are bottlenecks in the entryways.
#3: More bottlenecking in the main aisle ways. Every three feet there are displays with everything from $ 1 DVDs to $ 250 trampolines. This means that instead of having nice wide areas in which to navigate on your way to the specific aisle you are looking for, now the whole store is laid out in a one cart-​width aisle.
Do people know how to be polite and move aside if someone wants by? No, you ninny! Of course not! What were you thinking?
Also, people with carts jammed to the gills should not use the self-​checkout lines.
So while this is mainly an indictment on human nature, it is partially Wal-Mart’s fault for configuring their stores into a rat maze so convoluted and seemingly intentional that I would not be surprised if entire government agencies existed just to sit and watch us elbow our way through Wal-​Marts, and then implement policy based on their findings.
Why four stars then? If I bought the same items over at Fred Meyer, or Bi-​Mart, or wherever, I would pay more. It’s about the money, folks. That’s why you can hate Wal-​Mart, call for boycotts, sneer at their hiring policies, and decry their suppliers, but people will still come in droves to work there and shop there. That’s the free market.
