Walmart Supercenter

Rude customers, wow is this Walmart mentality I would not be here except my great eye DR came here to practice

You can find pretty much everything here within minutes of new haven, and went here for some light bulbs and groceries. The fresh fruit is still of inconsistent and often times low quality, although theyre trying. For example, they had some stemilt organic black cherries but some packages had mold inside unfortunately. The organic rainers looked better. Lots of variety in frozen and refrigerated stuff, one of the better areas of the store
Store and parking areas dont look that great but standard for a walmart

My first impression of this Walmart was a toddler crying unattended eating a slim Jim. This would set the stage for a terrible experience. The prices and food selection are great, it’s why I don’t go to the grocery store anymore, you just can’t beat the prices without being a Costco member. But seriously the most cashiers I have ever seen here was 2 and the carts are never brought inside. The dead corpses of carts with fucked up wheels and shakes remain overturned in the parking lot. Guy at the deli section almost had a mental breakdown because I asked him for ½ lb of turkey 30 mins before the deli closed. It’s not my fault you got 2 dui’s in high school and have to work at this shit hole.

First you have to realize this is a Super Center Walmart. It’s the best of both worlds for everyone shopping.
The problem I personally noticed was lower management… basically anyone 40 and younger out on the floor trying to manage problems and dealing with their own employees. Seemed a bit disorganized watching them manage the store. I wonder if upper management has any clue of this problem. The employees for the most part were friendly and helpful.
This store also has at least one uniformed police officer and possible more. Not a place I’d be comfortable taking my children with.
With Walmarts signs everywhere the eye can see portraying «Lower Prices Everyday», gives a false sense that you are actually saving money shopping there. Not always the case…

OMG… This place is a nightmare! Stuff thrown around the store, there are hardly any staff members. Completely disorganized. I do not know how this place remains operational the way it is run.
When you do find a staff member, they are sure to give you attitude or be on their cell phone ignoring the customers.
I had to go to customer service yesterday for a transaction. There was one young guy working customer service desk and four young ladies standing behind him on their phones, gossiping and talking to each other, all while there are 15 –20 people in line.
Target in North Haven is one exit away, save yourself the stress and go there!.

GOLDEN GLOBE OF WORST WAL-​MART IN THE WHOLE OF CONNECTICUT GOES TO… Foxon Blvd!
Make the effort, go the extra miles to another location.
Everyone that works here needs to be fired. Don’t bother calling asking for something in stock, they just stand there for 5min then hangup or say it’s not there. EVERYTIME!
The hire dep needs to be checked on, there are people that can do a better job than the current workers that are being neglected.

I can’t stand this particular Walmart and like some of the other Unilocalers said, I only go to get what I need and get out. The people who shop there are rude and loud (present company excluded, of course) and the staff are pretty much the same. Store is always crowded with long lines and move super slow. They did recently add a little self checkout area but even that can move slowly and the registers give error messages if you move your items off the scanning/​bagging area too quickly.
I avoid Walmarts in general, but especially this one. Too bad, because its a stones throw from my place.

Don’t bother calling in for anything. The employees are mentally limited. Customer service is poor. Just go in and pick up what you need and leave.

This Wal-​Mart is in a highly populated and dense area of New Haven. It usually services all of greater New Haven, East Haven, and even gets a lot of Branford and North Branford populations. It’s super busy in the early days of every month. It’s also busy around rush hour. The best time to use this store would be early in the morning hours of weekdays, and even a bit on the weekends. Even with the early morning hours being the best time, you may have problems with service excellence. I went there when it first opened about three months ago to get a video game. I went to the electronics area and looked for someone to open the door for me to get the xbox game. I asked a handful of store employees about getting help with it. Each employee said only two people in the entire store have keys for the electronics drawer. I waited for over 45 minutes to get the kid over there with a key. I called the front store manager, and she actually hung up on me. I almost broke the door open to get my game. I was super frustrated. I’m a customer and I feel like if I’m there at 7 am, and your supposed to be there at 7 am, then BE THERE. Don’t show up to your work station late. If I showed up to my job 45 minutes late, there would be major problems, even if I was in the building on time. It doesn’t count as on time if I’m not at my designated station.
* I prefer the Branford Wal-​Mart. *

It’s a Walmart. What do you expect? Just be prepared to wait a long time at checkout.

Since my last review, they have upped their staff on hand. i find that the lines are now a little less grueling to sit through, and employees are available to provide assistance more often. It still could use some work, but kudos to this Walmart for starting to provide better service.

The profiling policies of this particular Walmart are downright disturbing. I don’t mind an occasional bag check, but I get mine checked upon exiting 80% of the time. In the dvd section, employees walk off to get large men in shirts that read «staff» to stand inches behind me until I leave the dept. Uniformed guards are constantly following me at comically close distances. I don’t know what physical aspect has put me at the top of their profiling list (focus on actions, not appearance). I understand the concept of theft prevention, but shopping does not have to be as blatant and demeaning as a prison search. Cameras and plain clothes guards should suffice. Guards should be confrontational only when something fishy is going down. Why hassel honest customers when no problem exists? Walmart takes security to a very degrading level. I’m done with the entire company, not just 315 Foxon Blvd.

Freakin’ Walmart, man. Every time I’m here I end up standing in an endless line with only a fraction of the things I’d intended to purchase and thinking to myself, «never again.» Today they were out of chicken breasts, zucchini, iceberg lettuce, and basil– aka one third of my grocery list. The fruit and veggies you find in the produce department often resemble those from Sinjay’s «New Zealand section» from my favorite episode of Flight of the Conchords. But it’s Walmart, so it would probably be strange if it didn’t look like that, and I think everyone who steps into this store knows what they’re getting into.
Adding one star since there aren’t many options around here. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I miss that weird A&P!

I couldn’t disagree more with the other reviewer’s comments about this store. It’s not just meat and veggies that are out-​of-​stock, it’s everything… including shopping carts!
I will concede that it is one of the newer and more updated Walmart stores, but it is filthy. I swear that I’ve never gone to this store and found a shopping cart inside the front doors. The produce section is a joke: not only is the quality bad, but the shelves are barren. Another problem is the checkout lines. They have 20+ registers here, and I’ve never seen more than 10 open. Not even on a weekend. The staff is often rude, and forget trying to ask for help finding an item… you’d need a bullhorn to attract someone’s attention.
The last time I went (on a weekday), they were out of lettuce, frozen onions, skim milk, ketchup, Gillette razors (are you kidding me!!!), Cardoni’s Caesar dressing, and canned mushrooms. The shelves of this store look like a blizzard or hurricane is coming.
I support Ferraro’s Market and the local Shoprite, but we always went here for toiletries and household supplies. We’re trying hard to cut it out of our shopping schedule for good. I’ve never cared for supporting Walmart, but it has felt like a necessity in the past. Now I’m starting to find that they’re very slowly starting to raise their prices, and local supermarkets are becoming competitive again. Stay away from this place.

This store exceeds my expectations for Walmart. Great prices on food, and a decent selection. I’m frustrated sometimes when some vegetables or meat are sold out when I visit, but the low prices keep me coming back.
I don’t understand people who hate on Walmart’s crowded isles, sold out meat and veggies, etc. If you don’t like it, go somewhere else!
