Typical Walmart store. This one was located across the street from our hotel. We stopped here to find some shorts or some clearance swimsuits since we wanted to get in the hotel pool. Well, shorts it was. The store was very well stocked! If they sold it, it was there because they didn't have any gaps on their shelves. This is different in this time.

Shame on you Wal-Mart! This location has replaced all but a few manned check outs (which are rarely open anyway) with about 20 self check outs. I don't mind self check out when I have one or two items I am picking up quickly. On my last self check out, the greeting card I was buying wasn't in their system and they had to instruct me to go to one of the manned registered to check out anyway after the attendant couldn't assist me either. I was there longer than people buying a cart full of groceries. But I will not be buying $300 in groceries each week and checking them out myself. I will not ring up and bag my own groceries when I can go across the street to Food City or Publix and get full service. I did not apply for a job at Wal-Mart and I have not been trained for the cashier job! No more Wal-Mart grocery shopping for me!!! I hope they see their sales go down based on this dumb decision. People need jobs and large corporations that we seem to have to depend on should not be taking in the profits and hurting our economy even more! Bet if Sam was alive it would not be like this!!!

I have lived all over the area, from Ga to Bristol Tn. I am also handicapped and use a wheelchair everywhere I go, unfortunately. Some Walmart's look clean, some are clean, and others....well others are gross. The best way to tell is using a wheelchair. As I roll thru the stores I usually have to pull hair and other floor crap off of my gloves. The Walmart on Little Debbie Parkway is the ONLY store I do NOT have to do that in. It is actually clean and the floors do NOT have big clumps of hair throughout. I used to drive 40 minutes just to get to this store.

Always liked this Walmart. Although it's always full of people, it's still a very pleasant experience. The grocery pick-up runs efficiently as well. The store is always clean. I feel safe because the entrances have a wonderful lady giving masks. Then another counting. Today I shopped in the store & I must say I had one of the most kind, caring, and professional cashiers. I believe his name was Neilo. He double bagged my heavy items. I also appreciate how he sorted the bagging according to item category. He also walked around and put heavier items in the cart. Then when done, he made sure I didn't need any additional help. I'm reviewing based on him because you rarely have cashiers to take so much pride in what they do. If I had cash I would've offered him a tip.

Absolutely love Ooltewah Walmart! Clean & Great Customer Service. Met new cashier last week, super sweet Ukrainian girl, bummer I didn't remember her name. Bless her heart!

The lady with red hair is always so rude with people and when I asked someone if that was her typical behavior they said she was "stressed", but aren't we all ? And I don't treat people badly. She should be removed from her position and someone who can handle stress better should

Had to stop in. Had just bought 4 new tires yesterday. Heading up to Knoxville from Atlanta when our tire light went crazy on us. Being 2 women out at almost dark, in a city we had never been. The staff were more than happy to check the tires for us. Thank goodness it wasn't anything to really worry about. Thanks to the tire/auto department we are now headed to Knoxville!!

The Walmart on Little Debbie Parkway, Ooltewah, TN, is a super store in more ways than one. I love the self-checkout option as I'd rather bag my own things. That way when I get home it makes it much easier to put everything away as I've bagged like items. Today as I was in the self-check lane, when Shaweeque - a Walmart employee assigned to the quick check lanes (the two that have a conveyor belt) approached me. She introduced herself and said she was there to help me in any way. I engaged her in a short conversation and found that she was a wonderful person. Her professional, helpful attitude is one that I hope she receives recognition! I was on terminal #SC010151 if that helps her supervisors give her a big thank you and hopefully a boost in pay! All employees could take a lesson from Shawneeque on how to be helpful and give Walmart a good reputation.

Its Walmart, so expectations shouldn't be high but seriously there is a Publix AND an Aldi in this town. Go there! The lines are overcrowded, the self check lanes broken and the security a mess- seriously they are women hateful and don't understand why people would bring thier own bags. (The video dude came and flipped out because I used one in the self check lane- I had to void and rescan EVERYTHING, then he was pissy because the total was the same. Duh because I scanned everything the 1st time.) Another misadventure was when I ordered custom Scooby Doo birthday cupcakes (pre-publix and aldi being built) and the cashier at checkout scanned then turned the container vertically to slide it into a bag. Obviously all the icing slid off immediately and I didn't want the now mauled mess. The cashier was confused as to why, I didn't want them and tried to tell me I had to - NOPE, you jacked them up not me. She also tried to get a price check on my canvas grocery bags- the very used and slightly grungy ones I brought from home. This review is really more for visitors to town so they know there are other options. Also 3 exits down there is a Target, another Publix, and a mall.

Best Walmart around! Friendly, clean, close to my doctors office so I always plan a stop there and Aldis
As far as Walmarts go this one is really pretty good if you lived in this town long enough to remember having to go to the Walmart out of Hamilton place. This Walmart seems to be very full often there are a lot of people. Sometimes it can be pretty hard to get in and out of the parking lot. But in general it isn't very messy or dirty inside. The clientele tends to be A little bit finer around the edges than a lot of other Walmarts I've been to. The cleanliness in the clientele alone make this a viable option if you need to go to a Walmart. I don't often go to Walmart's just because I do not enjoy that experience but this one is definitely one of the better ones.

I love this location. Why? Because the customer service there rocks! They have reasonable prices for the things I need and are always open, especially for those last minute things you didn't realize you forgot but every other store is closed. This is what makes Walmart a winner. The store is always neat and there is never a long wait in lines.

Walmart, Ooltewah, Dealt with this Walmart for almost 4 years. First 3 years were very good, but something has changed. It's obvious they have trouble keeping good employees and management has gone down hill. They rarely have enough cashiers open and tonight only a third of them were open and they were backed up into the isle. Also every Self Help station was full and a dozen people standing in line, Yet workers were just standing around. A supervisor told us that the lady in jewelry could check us out. however, the jewelry lady was talking with another worker. She said she was not signed in so she couldn't help. The supervisor just stood there. Yes, I'm aggravated. The Pharmacy has been poorly operated for a long time, just try picking up a prescription through the Drive Up, that;s a joke. Oh Well, I feel a little better now, even though I just left my merchandise laying on the counter. Guess I'll go to Target tomorrow.

This is one of the two Walmarts that I go to. This Walmart is the newest one built in the area that I know of. They always have quite a bit of clearance racks in the clothing sections that are worth a look. Often when they have items that are discounted a lot (especially items from a holiday that just passed), they'll put them in the front of the store when you walk in. Quite convenient!

This is my favorite Walmart. They are usually nice and glad to help. Most of all, you can find somebody to help. Electronics are usually in stock for the most part. This store has the largest DVD collection that I have ever seen. They have a 5 cd dump bin you are going to want to check out too. Also, there is a blu ray dump bin where the movies are only $7.88
