New Walmart in SW Atlanta: Injustice to African-Americans

I'm a patron of Walmart. I enjoy shopping for groceries and not having to spend an arm and leg for food. For those of you that shop at Publix, you know that Walmart has some of the same products as Publix, but not as expensive.

I moved to Atlanta from Florida five months ago. All of the Walmarts that I have been to in Florida: Deltona, Orange City, Sanford, and New Smyrna, were great Walmarts. Upon arriving in Atlanta, I longed for a Walmart. The only one that I knew of is located at Chamblee. Which isn't bad; the Gold line train to Doraville will take you there and it's a five-minute walk from the train station. The only setback is the commute. No one really wants to travel on a train with bags of groceries.

In an effort to ameliorate this situation, Walmart constructed a store on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, in SW Atlanta. Recently, the was recently opened. Initially, this appeared to be a hit! A Walmart in "the hood". Business was destined to be prosperous. Customers would love it! No more riding out to Chamblee!

WRONG!!

The New Walmart on MLK Jr. Dr. is a bust!! It's the SMALLEST Walmart I have ever seen!! The aisle are ridiculous. One second you're in an aisle and five steps later, you're out of it!! The electronics section is a joke!! There isn't that feel of TV heaven in this particular Walmart. There are about a handful of TV's on display. That goes for laptops, too. Movie section? I've seen more selections of movies at South Dekalb Mall.

Don't get me started on the registers! I had to wait thirty minutes one morning just for some peanut butter!! There weren't any "10 items or less" lanes available. Then on a separate occasion, there were only two registers open. In a Walmart? Really? At ten in the morning and you only have TWO registers open?

If you're skeptical, go in and see for yourself. You will hear disgruntled patrons vowing to never return. The only great thing about this Walmart is that it's "in the hood". It's right there. You don't have to drive or ride the train up to Chamblee. That's it!!

If you want to do some comfortable shopping where you can actually purchase what you 're looking for because the store actually has the product, or not crash into someone's cart because the aisles are so small, go to the Walmart in Chamblee. The new Walmart in the black community is an injustice to African-Americans. Would you believe that they actually have security guards posted up in this Walmart?? For what??!! The store is so small, you would have to be blind not to see someone stealing if you're an employee.

It's a complete flop. I'm not going back again. Don't waste your time, energy, money, or food stamps at this Walmart.
