This is a pretty laid back Walmart. I took away one star because of the stocking issues they seem to have quite often. But this is a nice place, stores clean they will let you stay overnight if you have an RV and theres a tobacco shop right across the street. Big parking lot. home depot right down the street which is nice.

I was pleasantly surprised that they had the flavor of yogurt that I have been looking for! I have been to three other Walmarts and they did not carry it so I was very happy to find it at the Walmart and the new town that I moved to, Albert Lea! However I was disappointed that they did not carry caramel bugles! I have looked all over Albert Lea and I cannot find them anywhere! If anyone reads this and knows where they can be found please post it!

The gal in photo dept was especially helpful and was able to print copies that a competitor could not figure out.

This was the first time Ive noticed a price increase on items I only buy occasionally. So far, no real price increases on stuff I buy every week. I did notice these last 2 weeks that there were some significant empty spots on the shelves. I make sure to only go on Tuesdays if I can. I used to go on Mondays, but noticed that the shelves were never restocked from the weekends shopping rush by then. Tuesdays are pretty good. I actually prefer the self checkouts so I make sure my groceries are never smushed or bagged so I wind up with a mess when I get home. I prefer to bag my own. Lately, there are not enough self-checkout lanes open to accommodate everyone. People are even waiting to do self-checkout. Hopefully, if theyre not going to staff the regular lanes, they will convert more lanes to self-checkout. Any inconveniences at Walmart will not be enough to make me pay nearly twice as much for my groceries somewhere else.

Its a good sized store, although, itll say online that a certain store has a specific item I need, but it wont be in store at all. Its annoying but thats fine.

Its a standard walmart. Nothing there stands out as better or worse than the next walmart.

Front row parking and plenty of ice for the family. Was tons of people inside going to the music festival I was already at. The vibe was really good this day. Wish it could be like that everyday.

I spend an hour getting all the things I need only to find out there are no checkouts open other then self serve. I talk to a supervisor and they told me only 1 person showed up to run the tills. If I wanted a job at Walmart I would apply. Not impressed, left my cart full and continued with my day. Maybe Amazon can do groceries better.

Pharmacists here feel they are more qualified than your doctor. Avoid at all costs.

Thank goodness for this walmart! We go early, usually around 630-730am, so I can only attest to this timeframe, but it is ALWAYS well stocked. The crew is just full of bright, friendly faces! The walmart in mason city, is bare bones, literally half empty at all times. This walmart ALWAYS has what I need and its superbly clean! We drive 30min any time we need anything because, customer service really matters!

Supervisors rude. Pharmacy is a joke. If they’re not going to have enough cashiers they should open more big belt self check out. So done with this store.

The pharmacist here declines doctor prescriptions for life saving treatments. Dangerous, stay away!

Walmart is good, but they dont have hardly any checkers. You stand in line forever and I wont use use those self check outs.

De
Review №16

I have decided to stop shopping at the Albert Lea store as the last time I was there everyone had to scan their own cart. No checkers available except for the couple that were constantly helping people scanning their own carts (which included me). Takes too long to check out this way.

I was from Michigan and broke down and needed my tire repaired. They got me in right away and was out on the road in less than an hour. Great customer service

Review №18

I went to this walmart to get a tire put on a rim and I went to go shopping until they could get to it. I got a text letting me know that my tire was done at 6:34 and I got there by 7:15 assuming someone would still be around to give me my tire and ring me up, but no one was there. That was understandable since I was the one that was late. I wish they would have at least tried to called me to let me know that I would need to come the next day. The thing that I found unacceptable was the fact that the next day the auto center just decided to close early, no reasons given.... they just closed two hours early. Again if I would have been notified of an early closing I wouldnt be upset. Thankfully, I had someone to drive me around that day. Again I understand I was late the first time, so not really their fault, but the early closer was a little irritating.

Nice Walmart. Not overly big where you get lost in it. You can get in, get what you need, and get out.

This is a smaller supercenter so many items arent carried. However, the shopping and self checkout flows smoothly so no kvetching.

It was super. Hence the super in their name. Truck parking permitted. And clean facilities. The fresh made sandwiches were especially good.

I always love to go to Walmart. This particular store is always so clean and have a wonderful staff. For the past four years that I have loved here they have always had what I needed in stock. Of course they always have their great deals too. Also, their pharmacy has 1$ generics and 3$ for brand names. You just cant beat that price.

A basic Walmart experience. Aisles seem a bit narrower than at bigger Walmarts leaving me feeling cramped as I try to get around. Store was clean and we moved quickly through the checkout.

Review №31

Cant get help an employee litterally took off her vest and ran away from me. When I chased down a second girl and asked for help and she was so rude and dismissive. I never get good service. If you can find anyone they tell you to check the app. Very disappointed Id love to go somewhere else but they ran off all the compition for 30 miles in every direction. Ridiculous. Dont expect help pray the self checkout is open.

I would like to recommend this Walmart store because of Ryan the store manager. We had an issue in the parking lot and Ryan spent time with us to figure out what really happened to our car. He went above and beyond his duties to make sure everything could be done for us. I believe Ryan is the correct person to be a manager of such a large store. Very patient and persistent to get to the bottom of our issue. There always can be different results to every problem but through Ryans perseverance we all came to the same conclusion.

Its Walmart nothing more nothing less. Done employees are great cheerful and happy others clearly wish they were not there.They used to be open 24 hours and would stick the shelves at night they close at 11 now. Do the stocking I us done during busier hours. Its hard to negotiate around the stacks of stick to be put away at times. They never have chicken gumbo soup or chowmein noodles.

You have to fight to get a handicap electric cart, they have been lax and uncaring about getting them repaired, that plus having the self check forced on us, makes me shop there alot less. They dont want or need our money

There was not even one physical check out employee! Every customer had to go through a self check out, and with a cart full of groceries, that sucked! Im not getting paid, nor do I get a discount to check and bag my own purchases..

Review №63

Their employees are mostly friendly but they don’t really seem to be able to handle any real customer issues because everyone just says “you’ll have to come back in the morning because there’s nothing I can do to fix that right now.” If I could come to Walmart in the morning I would be fine with that response but I guess it is what it is.

Review №64

The store is always pretty neat and clean. They didnt have everything I needed but it was close. Employees were helpful and pleasant. The handicap carts leave alot to be desired. They have several but they dont always hold a charge for the whole visit. I usually shop at the Mason City Iowa store. They have new handicap carts that will go for 12 hours on a charge! Soooo, I am spoiled...

Wish there was a negative star: my daughter was just in with her 4 kids, a cart full and was told self checkout was her only option for checking out. That is not ok. She left the store without her items. Stores...know this is not good customer service. Get real.

Review №68

They never seem to have certain items that their website says they have.

Je
Review №69

How about putting a sign up as you come i. That lets people know when there is only self check out option. They can leave before they have a cart full of items. How about a little customer service.

October 1st, my friend put our cart in the corral. Didnt know until I arrived home 45 miles later that he left my wallet in the cart. I called about 9 pm speaking with Audrey in customer service. When I described ny wallet she said yes it was found in the cart. I think she said by the cart receiver. He gave to her and she locked it up until I could get there the next evening. I was so grateful to them. All my cash cards everything were exactly as I had left them. You have some great employees in this store. I hope you appreciate them as much as I do.

Review №81

Not one cashier working and self checkouts had at least 3-5 people in line. Only one water dispenser and it was so slow it would have taken at least 15 minutes to fill a jug. 3rd time there to exchange a soda stream cartridge and they dont have any. This is a pretty common experience. This place is trash.

Albert Lea, Again only 2 check-out lanes. You know Walmart older generation does not like self check-out. If you keep going the way you are older generation will boy-cott you. And you will lose lots of money.
