If you ask locals in Fall River about the Walmart on Quequechan Street, you might get a mixed bag of reactions.

Now, a viral Instagram video from Boston content creator Mike Deez is adding fuel to the fire, ranking the Fall River location as one of the worst Walmart stores in Massachusetts.

In his latest ranking, Deez visited Walmart locations across the state and compiled a list of the top 10, that according to customer feedback left a lot to be desired.

Why Fall River Made the List

While the big-box chain dominates Massachusetts with its widespread presence, it appears not all locations have maintained a stellar reputation.

For Fall River, it wasn’t necessarily the store’s cleanliness or inventory that secured its spot on the “Worst Walmart” list. Instead, it was the colorful and often hilarious reviews from frustrated patrons that caught Mike Deez’s attention.

Here’s a taste of what local people are saying about the Fall River Walmart on Yelp:

• “It’s a Walmart, people. Lower your expectations.”
• “God forbid you request a certain item from a worker…”
• “Gave 1 star because this is the bare minimum. CRACKHEADS.”
• “Constantly tell you they are closing in X-number of hours… like it’s a threat!”

Clearly, the Fall River location has become infamous for its uniquely memorable shopping experience. For many locals, visiting this Walmart has become an exercise in patience.

The Rest of the Worst

While Fall River may not have claimed the top spot, its neighbors on the list have their own share of criticisms:

1. Quincy - Ranked the worst, plagued by long wait times and poorly stocked shelves.
2. Brockton - Frequently criticized for chaotic aisles and understaffing.
3. Avon - Known for customer service complaints and confusing store layouts.
4. Lynn - Called out for disorderly shelves and lackluster upkeep.
5. Fall River - A mix of quirky complaints, colorful characters, and some rather harsh critiques.

However, it's not all doom and gloom for Walmart shoppers in the Bay State. Deez did give a nod to the Saugus location as a model of what Walmart can be at its best, proving that not every store is struggling to maintain customer satisfaction.

Local Reaction

The response from Fall River residents to this ranking has been mixed. Some agree with the critiques, saying that their local Walmart could use some serious improvements. Others defend it, chalking it up to the classic "Walmart experience" that’s become a cultural phenomenon in itself.

While the Fall River Walmart might not be winning any awards, it certainly seems to have earned its place as a hotspot for colorful stories and customer interactions. As Deez’s video continues to rack up views, one thing is clear: whether you love it or hate it, the Fall River Walmart is a unique experience you won’t soon forget.
