While my score portrays a 3/5 stars, I would much rather give it a score of 2.5 stars, if I'm being…read morehonest. However, I can't, because half stars are apparently a foreign concept to Yelp. Anyway, everything about this Wal-Mart was merely serviceable and COMPLETELY middle-of-the-road. Everything from the customer service, to the products they had available (green Goldfish? Seriously?) Even the music they played was painfully average! And, as if to foreshadow my desire to write a middling review of this Wal-Mart, the only parking spot I could get was DIRECTLY in the middle of the parking lot, both vertically and horizontally. I was right in the center. I'm not joking even slightly.
To make my neutral feelings a little more clear, I'll go a little more in-depth as to why I feel this way. The customer service was good. In fact, it was too good. I felt like a king when I should've felt like a peasant. I much prefer the volatile, aggressive attitude of my local Meijer, who I think truly EARNS three stars, unlike Wal-Mart. It builds character to have to deal with horrid attitude, and it allows me to connect with people that are just as unpleasant as me. Wal-Mart's customer service isn't bad at all, it's just far, far too good. While I enjoyed their pleasant attitude, I think they were a little TOO pleasant, you know what I mean? You know something's off when you're smiling ear-to-ear after leaving a store. At best, I should be scowling. Grocery stores are awful and everyone should hate them. My conflicting emotions lead me to feel completely neutral towards the customer service at this Wal-Mart.
A lot of their products were average, too, like their Arnold Palmers. You see, I like lemonade, but I DON'T like iced tea. Because I don't like half of its composition, I have to give it 2.5/5 stars. The limited edition green Goldfish deserve a mention, too. Yes, they're delicious, but look at that sickly green color. It makes me want to puke, and Wal-Mart should be ashamed for stocking them. However, I GUESS they're okay if you close your eyes when eating them, so they also break even at 2.5/5 stars. You want to know what else is perfectly average? Bread without butter. Yes, Wal-Mart does have the courtesy to sell both bread AND butter, but they sell them separately, which is just wrong. Bread and butter are worth 2.5/5 stars individually; why keep them apart? You might as well be separating Romeo and Juliet, or Detroit and air pollution.
You all know how I feel about this Wal-Mart; completely neutral. I have no strong feelings one way or the other. I hope my complete apathy didn't come across as too mean, but it's just how I feel. Wal-Mart's gonna need to try EXTRA hard to truly earn a 3/5 rating. However, even if Wal-Mart doesn't clean up their act, I'm sure I can put my neutral feelings aside and walk through its doors once again.
