This Walmart ranks at the lower end of the scale. Employees move at the pace of a snail. If you think the McDonalds inside is any better, the "Walmart Way" has rubbed off onto them too. Best to carry cash as the cashiers are not the best at handling a non cash transactions. The Customer Service desk has it half right- there are customers there but there's no service. The only thing scarier than the people that work at this place are the customers. When is the last time you've seen a pirate shopping at Walmart? Sylvester knows best! read more

The auto motive section of the Walmart at 161 Centereach Mall Centereach, NY 11720 United States, saved my car. There was a problem with my oil filter cap and it would not come off. Mike and Edwin and some of the other automotive team helped fixed it and saved me so much. They really cared for me as an individual and got a difficult job done. Mike was determined to help and they fixed the problem. They were also very friendly during this whole experience. read more

Absolutely one of the worst customer service counters in any of their locations throughout the country. Generally they never pick up the phone and just keep people on hold. Hold on for 5 minutes and 9 seconds (no one ever picked up from the time I was dumped on hold) just now which reminded me about a recent bad experience there and decided to post a negative review. They've earned it. read more

I love Walmart! It's filled with cool things and despair! But all retail stores are filled with despair! ;D I never really paid attention to Walmart until recently, I think it's a cool store and has lots of awesome things! read more

Today, Sunday, May 23, 2021, I had needed spray paint that was apparently very hard to come by in the desired color. Your website said it had only 6 cans left. My husband ran over, and on his way, I called to have someone there hold it for him. First, I was put on hold by a woman for 10 minutes. I hung up, and called back. Call answered by the same woman who said nothing but to please hold. Then a guy answers totally out of breath. I told him the situation, and said my husband is there now. He told me he just got back from the paint isle and asked why I thought there was any left. I told him the website said in red letters that there were 6 left. He goes on to tell me that the website is about a week to two weeks off in time. Are you kidding me?? He said to complain to management, as the website isn't accurate. P.S., my husband never had any help, and bought the 6 cans left. Now the website says two cans left. NUMBER 1: Step up on who you hire. NUMBER 2: Fix your website. NOT GOOD AT ALL!!! read more

Does not answer phone. Staff at door rude, belligerent. Manager does not respond to letters sent via snail mail.

I am not usually a huge fan of Walmart for many a reason. However I will shop there for certain items (cereal, milk, face wash, tampons, sweat pants for my toddler,) that ate pricier else where. This particular Walmart is disgusting! I don't expect anything extravagant..its Walmart...but I do expect a sanitary store and this one is not. There's constantly empty food wrappers shoved between items (clothing items!) and I have seen workers walk right past it. It also looks like a herd of cattle has just ran through the place as everything is always in disarray. The employees are nice and polite, but always have this intense sadness in their eyes and speak in a monotone of misery which really is heart wrenching. I think it has to do partly with their work environment. I live right by here and yet I will drive over to setauket to go to the Walmart there. read more

I have to say, I'm quite appalled with the return policies here. We purchased printer ink for our printer at home 2 weeks ago, and the associate apparently had given us the wrong one. Well, printer runs out of ink this morning so I go to change the cartridges and realize they are not the right ones. So after work I go to the store and they can't take it back because it was open. Uh, how do you think we realized the cartridges weren't correct? Your sales associate gave us the wrong one, and we did ask for cartridges for the make and model of the printer in question. But without a receipt because it's open they can't do anything. All I kept hearing was I'm sorry, maybe if you find the receipt (and let's be real, how many people hold onto a receipt after a couple of weeks) and speak to a manager they MIGHT be able to give you a store credit. You spent $64 on this, that's a lot of money. Well no f-ing sh!t that's a lot of money, and it's a lot of money going in the trash because I can't even exchange it. So thanks for absolutely nothing Walmart. My hard earned money is going in the trash. read more

Workers are super friendly. Keith is a great spirit and guy who enjoys helping customers.

I stopped here as I was passing by. I have never been in such a disgusting Walmart in my life. This place was so dirty I left feeling like I contracted some sort of disease. Now I want to go home and shower. This location needs needs serious attention from corporate. read more

Useless employees, lack of any selection, empty shelves. These are the marks of this Wal-Mart. Also, the parking lot is a wild, untamed place. read more

This is the most strange and unusual Wal-Mart I have ever been too. Not to be rude but it seems so "ratchet". Sorry I could not find another word to describe this horrendous place. I'd rather drive the extra miles and go to the one in Setauket. That one is way nicer. read more

This joint is sequestered way in the back of the shopping center here and was trash like the rest.

I HATE that this is the closest Walmart to my house. Store is a mess. Price labels and products are in the wrong spot so I have to scan everything. They need more convenient price scanners. The lines in this store were always ATROCIOUS. No matter what time of day I would go. It was a smart move to put self scanners in this store. Might save them some business. read more

This store is absolutely horrible. From the store manager down to the employees. The store is dirty , not well stocked. You can't ask for help, because no one will listen to you or lift a finger to help you. I will never shop here again. And don't bother to call corporate to complain, they don't do anything either. read more

Great place.....has everything, local, and great prices. However the employees there act like they would rather be anywhere but there! One positive is the McDonald employees. They are all very sweet and happy to help. Always have to keep in mind.......this is Walmart read more

Love this store since it's right around the corner. Usually have what I need but there have been occasions where they didn't have what I needed. read more

I love this Wal Mart. Would not eat at this Mc Donalds however. But the rest of the store is great. Pretty organized & I usually find everything I need in here. Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

When I need something quick they usually have what I need and at good prices. I live close by so the fact that they are open late is also helpful. I do recommend this Walmart read more

Walmart Centereach now carries Pure Life 5gal water jugs. Be aware that unlike all the other stores they do not give you the $5 deposit back if you return the jug like all the other businesses in the area. You can only use the deposit toward the next 5gal purchase. I unfortunately made the mistake of buying too many over a few weeks. Walmart said it was Pure life that is charging for it, when I called pure Life they said it was Walmart. read more

I love Walmart but the reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the bikes break in a day. Just don't get the bikes. Everything else is fine. read more

Everytime I go in there or even call in I am treated with aggression, annoyance and to top it off incompetence. I work in customer service and would never dream of trying to make people feel stupid or acting nasty. It's painful to even go in there, they're just so nasty and I've never gone out of my way to write a review EVER! But I feel sick leaving, dispite who I get I am treated like I'm an asshole, I'm the first one to say hello and at this point have even given up on smiling. I'm changing pharmacies. read more

Nightmarish experience trying to BUY A GRILL from Walmart. Simple, you may think. Ordered online for in-store pickup on June 1. Need it for an event on June 3. June 1 comes, and I get an email saying it will be ready June 2. June 2 come and I get an email saying it's STILL not ready. I try to call the store. Get switched from department to department to department. Put on hold. Ignored. The FIFTH person I spoke to said the only way I could get help is to call WALMART CORPORATE. Walmart Corporate put me on hold and transferred me to a "helper." The "helper" has put me on hold again. For those of you keeping score, she is now the SEVENTH person I am speaking to. Or was. This, ladies and gentlemen, is shopping for a barbecue grill at Walmart. read more

It's the one stop shopping concept, they have everything from Spam to Blue Ray players at very good prices. High volume store, very busy during the weekends and holidays. Staff does a great job of keeping the store in order despite the hoards of people. Now the negative: Being that the store sells food, specifically refrigerated food, moisture accumulates on the counters. Everything from milk to who knows what ends up smeared on those counters. You find a nice dress or a nice shirt and it gets passed over this dirty, damp scanner. You can see the moisture and smears on the counters from 8 feet away, nevertheless I have never seen a cashier clean them.. It's disgusting. To be fair, it would be quite a chore to constantly keep the counter clean. Maybe a separate set of counters for "clothes only" may be a partial solution for those who just want to buy a few clothes and not have them soiled before you even wear them. read more

Awful that they have no cashiers on the registers, and are trying to utilize self check out, while workers get to stand around and chit chat and stare at customers waiting on long lines that are unecessary, no wonder people shop online!! Ridiculous!!!! read more

I brought two tires last year with roadside hazards. I had a blow out after numerous times telling the tech that I was having tire problem. The tech was rude and nasty. After a brief argument, the tech spoke to the manager (supposedly) it was covered by the hazards warranty. Never again I will by anything from walmart. read more

This store is filthy. The employee's are spoken to in very a inappropriate manner on the sales floor by their supervisors. It seems to be an extremely understaffed store. The shelves are a mess and understocked. read more

I have to say, I was very impressed by the level of customer service here. I decided to wake up early to go shopping, and boy am I happy I dragged myself out of bed. I ended up browsing in the women's clothing section and ran into Penny. She was so sweet and patient helping me pick out a new outfit for a job interview, just a gem! Gave me such a confidence boost for the day, and really made an impact on my morning as well! Then once she helped me pick out the outfit, she proceedes to walk with me to the register to make sure all my tags were off, and gave me advice on pantyhose.. She was the best! Sometimes it's easy to forget when you're treated this well..not over here! I am absolutely stunned was shocked, they have a lot to be proud of too because I was born upstate where they basically have walmarts within a 20 mile radius everywhere.. I hadn't had associates that were this attentive and sweet in years. Plus as I got to the register, this other associate Jacqueline was also so nice and we had a pleasant conversation. Overall this hiring manager really knows what they are doing. Keep up the good work. This Walmart I absolutely made my day and week! read more

This place never has anything in stock in the right place. Not the friendliest people in the world to deal with. Not the mention the store looks a real horror with merchandise of the wrong thing on every shelf Would go to any walmart over this. read more

I really hate to give bad reviews, but I absolutely despise this store. It is dirty and trashy and the prices are not that cheap. I felt like I needed a shower after I left....without buying anything. read more

If you all are so bend up about shopping at Walmart then go spend your money somewhere else. I was using CVS pharmacy for my husband and my meds. He and I both have a heart condition.( and no we are not old nor on welfare ) we recently lost our insurance and were paying over $800 a month for our meds. I heard Walmart pharmacy was much cheaper so I decided to give them a shot. The savings were incredible! I now pay )$180 every Three months for the SAME meds ! The pharmacy staff is always nice and take me right away. They call the dr for refills with no questions asked. One time I got there at 5 min to close and they filled my script while I waited. Walmart is always clean and well stocked and the prices of everything in the store are much lower than any pharmacy or food store. If the employees are slow maybe it's because they may have a slight learning disability. So freaking what! I commend Walmart for hiring them. The mall and upscale stores certainly don't . Life is too short to complain. read more

Absolutely dread going to this place!! Never any one around to help when I need someone, then when you finally get someone they either don't know what they are doing or have a crappy attitude. Place is always filthy. I've been in this store in the early morning and had the displeasure of having to listen to the staff screaming at each other! Would much rather pay a little more and go somewhere else. read more

I stopped in to get a gift. A go-pro. the manager at electronics l think her name is Shannon. She keened making faces when helping me. I guess was she upset she had to help me. I said sorry bother her. I just needed a cameras. she grabbed one from be-hide the the first one she went out of her way to grab the used one that was on display I didn't realize until I gave the gift. I was embarrassed. I will never buy anything over 100 dollars especially electronics Im returning it asap. she even knew to remind me about the return policy. knowing I would be returning the used 4 hundred dollar camera she try to scam me with. I realized she gave me a different camera then what i pointed to because i sent a pic of the camera to some one then after i seen it was use and scratched i looked at the pic and noticed it wasn't the same camera i asked for you can tell from the box. I will be returning it already bought a new one at best buy. read more

As of August 2015, Walmart has the best Yugs. As an avid shopper at this Walmart, I've seen a lot of unforgettable people. This one guy walked through the doors as the shop lifting alarm went off and he moon walked back through it and said, "It wasssn't me." I can almost guarantee you'll get to see a mother crash a baby into the end of an aisle every visit. The best part about this Walmart is a well-hidden secret by the corporation. Don't let them tell you otherwise, but dented cans are half-off! Happy Shopping! read more

I made many trips to the Centereach Walmart and the East Setauket branch over a few years for comparison and the cerntereach one wins by a big gap. The East Setauket Walmart is terrible at stocking products. They never have things in stock. I go back there week after week and still no stock or very low (1-2). It is also very messy the products fail to be placed over the correct price labels and things are scattered and it's just a total mess. There are never employees around to help and customer service are lazy and rude. The photo center/ site to store is horrible there is almost never anyone there and the photo quality is terrible. Centereach walmart almost never has any of those issues so I definitely prefer going there even though it's a longer drive for me. read more

i usually like walmart. They always have good prices. When ever i go there they are out of stock of what i went for and their shelves are usually empty. Maybe i just go on the wrong day of the week. read more
