| - Plus side is that this Walmart is fairly huge and has extensive selection of products which includes fruits and vegetables. Though most people who come here, is usually they live around the area because I really don't find the fruits and vegetables that much cheaper than the Supermarkets around the area. But if anything Walmart has it right, is the idea of one stop shopping, since these days who has the time to drive around to pick up groceries from one place and buy houseware or clothing items from another. Also another beauty of this Walmart is that that have a Walk In Clinic which I visited on several occasions with super friendly doctors on site whenever I got heavily sick.
This time my experience is slightly on the down side, since I was around the area and I needed a Mop. This was the Vileda Mop which was on sale at Canadian Tire for $29.99 but didn't feel like driving out of our way to Canadian Tire to pick it up. So we thought we could exercise our right for the first time in a long while to do price matching. Same mop found here in Walmart was sold for $39.98.
In searching of the mop where do one supposed to find it? Well, naturally I would walk to the household section. Got to the house hold section, and second thought was find vacuum cleaners or trash cans. Found the boat loads of Vacuum Cleaners and Trash Cans, but no mop? Tried really hard to look for a Staff, and once found a gentleman who quickly pointed to the other side of the store where he said aisle 10 or 11. So my wife and I marched to Aisle 10/11 and yup there was the Mop of what we were looking for. But found it very odd that it's next to where the Soft drinks and Bottle Water is instead of where the cleaning items are. I feel either Walmart Discover a new Life Hack "Cleaning Floors with Pepsi or Coke"!!! (I'll look for it on YouTube tonight) or the staff just decided to drop it anywhere they see space caring very little attention to how it should logically be organized. I picked up the Vileda Mop and carried it to the cashier to pay only to find out that they don't do Price Matching for Canadian Tire and pointing to the printed paper signage tapped to her booth with the date September 28th with the list of "approved stores" (Canadian Tire is not on the list). A bit shocked and confused, I kindly question confirming with her that this date is September 09th and asked to please double check with manager. She stepped away, talked to another staffer walked back, then came back flipped up the tapped paper underneath which lists out the same listing of approved stores without the date.
Did I end up buying it? Answer is no since it was pretty obvious they don't want my business. In the end, I did end up buying the Vileda Mop from another Big Box Store Next to Walmart which would be deemed Nameless and they Price Match it no questions asked. What's even better is that the boxes don't look like it's been beatened or refunded like a million times.
Pros: This place is spacious and Clean, very good lighting and a good variety of products being sold here compared to other Walmarts more south and central in Toronto. Truely cater to the Suburbs near the South East Markham area. Who don't want to drive miles to pick up different products in different places.
So I gave 2 stars simply because of the following reasons
1) Feeling like this Walmart is Slightly under staff for it's size since it took a while to look for someone to ask for help.
2) A Mop is a Household Item, don't understand the logic of why they place it half way the other side of the store where the grocery products are?
3) Feels like a Very Shady Price Matching Policy considering I just went online and they didn't really limits on what stores they approved Price matching.
