This Wal-Mart has everything you need. So expect the line-ups to be long.
They have a bakery section, a deli counter, and most items you'd find at a groceries store. Meat, produce, dairy etcetera.
They have rows after rows of cashiers, though I prefer to use the Express Checkout. Don't be intimidated by the long line-up, it does move pretty fast.
Parking is plentiful, although sometimes I think its not plentiful enough. There is also a McDonald's inside in case the kids get impatient of waiting for you to stock pile for the Apocalypse.Listed in: 30 Day Yelp Challenge: The…

Good grief, the people that work at this Wal-Mart are incompetent beyond belief. After ringing up some groceries I run my credit card through the machine. Oops, it's unable to read the CHIP. No biggie, happens occasionally. I'll just swipe my card and sign, right? No. The cashier calls over the manager who, for reasons that defy all logic, refuses to let me swipe and sign because it's over $50. WTF?!? Thanks to that flaming idiot I wasted 30 minutes of my life in that dump that I will never get back.

Its 10 pm on a friday night. I need to pick up two small items and get out of here, but both express lines are nuts! Can I write a review on my phone before I get to the cashier?
I decide to jump into a shorter regular line, but evryones buying enough stuff to stock a small town.
Surprisingly the line is moving. I once stood here for 20 minutes.
This place is a freaking zoo. Why are all walmarts in toronto like this. Its like we're going through some kind of disaster.
The guy behind me is complaining to his wife about this effin line.
Luckily, I picked a blazing cashier.
Stuff here is all over the place. Unfortunately this giant walmart has everything I need in one go. Plus its open late, and I'm always needing something at thr last minute, late.
Woot I'm next. This must be a record. -

I admit it, I like Walmart. The sole reason - prices. Are they a big bad company - perhaps, but like most people, I am not financially able to shop for all my supplies at indep stores. Would that be my preference? Absolutely! But, until I marry into royalty and become wealthy, Walmart will have to do!
Now, after laying a bit of ethical groundwork - the question becomes, is a Walmart the same anywhere? This is where the perhaps unethical company is smart - they have various sizes, stock and flare (yes, I used the word flare in a Walmart review) for different locations. The City of Toronto is very limited when it comes to Walmart. This location is the closest to my home and is the closest Toronto location that is similar to stately suburban Walmarts.
What I like about this Walmart is the location, ample parking and fairly good variety. What I don't like is that it is a Russian Roulette gamble on when you go to the store if it is going to be insanely busy or completely asinine chaos. You can navigate the store quite efficiently and humanly, but when it comes to the check out, blimey, it is horrendous. I have spent more time in line, then I did selecting my purchases.
My tips for this location - go early am, know what you are buying (don't browse), if you are looking for deals be sure to check out their flyer. Major deals tend to be at the end of each aisle. DO NOT go after work. You will be tired and hungry and want to maim one of your fellow shoppers.
Good luck fellow deal finders. If you really want to experience Walmart variety, cleanliness and civility, go to the suburbs (east, not west or north). -

I come to this Walmart on rare occasions, and only when I absolutely HAVE to. This place is a nightmare full of shoppers and endless isles of stuff, and more stuff. I feel as if I need a navigation system just to find what I want in this gigantic hell hole.
I do have to admit that Walmart has some good deals on things such as toilet paper and cleaning products, but most of the time I prefer walking to the Shoppers Drugmart up the street from my house than venturing to this massive superstore.
The shoppers here can be pushy, the place is messy and has merchandise strewn everywhere, and the lines are ussually endlessly long. I came here yesterday for chocolate to put in my family's Christmas stockings and had to line up for 40 minutes for the few items I was paying for. I almost gave up.
All in all, this place is decent for buying essentials at good prices, but the fact that it is soooo enormously huge and constantly packed with shoppers makes me really dislike it. I avoid it at all costs if I can. -

I can't believe I am writing a review for Walmart of all places, but hey at least I am not writing a review for the McDonalds inside it.
Yes, this place is huge. Yes, there are parents constantly yelling at their children, but without this it just wouldn't be WalMart now would it?
I am reviewing this place because I came here as a last attempt to find some makeup and hair products that are widely available in the US but of course, impossible to find here. I found my goodies right away and then wandered around the store. I was surprised at how many items they carry that I didn't think were available in Canada yet!
When I checked out, I went to the express lane (there are 8 express check-outs!) and got out of there very quickly, on a Sunday no less, so I can't complain.
Another good thing is this walmart actually has sufficient aisle room so you can get through with your carts/strollers/herd of children. -

Dear Walmart Super Center.. I HATE YOU!.
Insert your standard Walmart rant here with the addition of the fact that the parking lot is ridiculously dangerous at all hours of the day, the lines are extra long, and th store is so big you literally get lost and cannot find your way out. I have been here twice and will never go back.Listed in: Things That Suck

However politically incorrect I have to say I like Walmart. And I am glad that the rest of snooty liberal Toronto doesn't want to shop here because then it would be truly too busy. The staff also look like they are happy with their jobs so what exactly is the problem?? Yes, it's often crowded and long line-ups for checkout, but the prices are just too persuasive. Milk bags are just marginally higher than Costco so the savings for a family over a year are huge. They also have great selection and fabulous specials, even on higher ticket and quality foods like Prime Chicken. I don't go every week because of the distance but if I go early it isn't busy and I can get it all done with great efficiency.
