One of the worst Walmarts in the state. It's nearly always packed, so it is apparently very profitable, which means corporate has no interest in improving it.
The shopping experience is miserable. The aisles are packed with employee shoppers, so you have to weave your cart all over the place. Those employee shoppers don't care about the regular shoppers, so they don't care if they're in your way or not. They even have a robot that blasts down the aisles, believe it or not.
The store is quite badly stocked, and they are often completely out of basic staples. The last time I went they were out of Doritos and Lays potato chips, and another time they were completely out of chicken. Chicken! It is just ten miles from a Walmart distribution center, too, so the empty shelves seem to be the result of mismanagement. Many items are not stocked at the Bartlesville Walmart at all. For example, Walmart's deli Buffalo wings are really good, but if you want them you'll need to go to a different Walmart.
Good luck finding an employee to help you if you need it. One time I rang a buzzer for an employee to open a closed case, and I waited ten minutes for them. No one staffs the jewelry section, so you have to buzz and wait there. The check out lanes are long and slow, so you'll probably have to do self checkout. Beware of the pharmacy--yesterday I was in it for half an hour, while a single employee was run ragged trying to serve everyone.
I do like the deli employees, who are friendly. And the checkers are usually pleasant, once you finally get to them. The environment is not pleasant, but it is basically sanitary.
I often drive to the Walmart in Coffeyville or Glenpool, just because those Walmarts are clean, well-stocked, and pleasant. If you want more proof of what I've said, just get on Facebook and search for Bartlesville Walmart--most people can't stand it. Come on, Walmart executives--make some changes!
