text: While it might be the nation's largest grocer, Walmart Supercenter was ranked at the bottom of the barrel  in a recent survey of America's supermarkets. The retailer has consistently been one of the lowest-rated grocers since 2005 in Consumer Reports' annual survey, and this year it was rated number 67, the second worst supermarket. As it is the primary shopping destination for ten per cent of the 63,000 readers surveyed by the magazine, Walmart is lacking in areas including service and quality of produce. However, it was noted for its better-than-average prices. Walmart was ranked the second worst supermarket in Consumer Reports' annual supermarket survey . The retailer (above a worker in the produce section of a Walmart in Miama) came in at number 67 followed by chain Waldbaum's, which was in last place . 'Every store I go in has room to improve,' said Walmart CEO Doug McMillon in a statement that the company released to Consumer Reports. 'I can take you to stores right now and we can walk out of that store with a list of things that we can go do better. 'And if we nail those, one store at a time, our short-term performance gets better.' The respondents surveyed were asked to rate 68 supermarkets based on store cleanliness, food quality, freshness and staff courtesy. Walmart was joined by A&P (rated number 66) and Waldbaum's (number 68), which each earned 64 points - the lowest out of the supermarkets surveyed, according to CBS. The annual survey recently published revealed that the biggest gripe among surveyed subscribers is not enough open checkouts, which was cited by a quarter of respondents. Other findings included: .

The retailer earned 90 points and kept up its consistently good ratings for the last decade by earning top marks for freshness, baked goods and overall shopping experience. Publix came in second place followed by Trader Joe's, Fareway Stores and Market Basket. Wegmans was also among a total of three grocers, including Whole Foods and The Fresh Market, that earned outstanding produce scores. 'It's going to sound cliché, but our employees are our secret sauce,' Jo Natale, Wegmans' vice president of media relations told Consumer Report. Natale also shed light on the fact that Wegmans is family-owned and not publicly traded, which 'allows us to take a long-range view, invest in people, and grow at a controlled rate.' While only 60 per cent of those surveyed were entirely  satisfied with the quality of their store's produce, meat and poultry offerings; nationwide, Consumer Reports found that supermarkets need to do better when it comes to fresh offerings. Findings also showed that only half of shoppers were happy with prepared food offerings as grocers including Wegmans, Publix, Costco, Whole Foods and Fresh Market were considered standouts in this category. So as shoppers make their 83 grocery store trips per year spending about $5,400 on food, what makes a supermarket the best? The survey noted that those who were the 'freshest' stores were usually the best  overall.

In the past, check out speed and low prices might have satisfied customers, but the survey said they are now also demanding a wider variety of healthy, unprocessed fruits, vegetables, meat and fish. They also want more organics and local produce. 'There's a growing rejection of overly processed and packaged foods, especially among younger consumers,' says Willard Bishop's Jim Hertel. 'They're suspicious about food additives and so sure 'less is more,' that they buy gluten-free even if they're not allergic to gluten.' 1 Wegmans . 2 Publix . 3 Trader Joe's . 4 Fareway Stores . 5 Market Basket (Northeast) 6 Costco . 7 Raley's . 8 Sprouts Farmers Market . 9 Fresh Market . 10 Stater Bros. 11 WinCo . 12 Hy-Vee . 13 H-E-B . 14 Aldi . 15 Whole Foods Market . 16 Fry's . 17 Harris-Teeter . 18 King Soopers . 19 Fred Meyer . 20 Food City (KY, TN, VA) 21 Hannaford . 22 Meijer . 23 Dillons . 24 Smith's Food & Drug . 25 Lowes Foods (NC) 26 ShopRite . 27 Schnucks . 28 Food 4 Less . 29 County Market . 30 QFC . 31 Kroger . 32 Save Mart . 33 Ingles . 34 IGA . 35 Bashas' 36 Marsh . 37 Piggly Wiggly . 38 Tom Thumb . 39 Giant (PA) 40 Cub Foods . 41 Shoppers Food & Pharmacy . 42 BJ's Wholesale Club . 43 Big Y . 44 Ralphs . 45 Target/SuperTarget . 46 BI-LO (GA, NC, SC, TN) 47 Sam's Club . 48 Brookshire's . 49 Vons . 50 Albertsons . 51 Price Chopper (Northeast) 52 Food Lion . 53 Weis . 54 Giant Eagle . 55 Winn-Dixie . 56 Giant (DC, DE, MD, VA) 57 Randalls . 58 Safeway . 59 Jewel-Osco . 60 Stop & Shop . 61 Acme . 62 Pick 'n Save . 63 Tops Markets . 64 Shaw's . 65 Pathmark . 66 A&P . 67 Walmart Supercenter . 68 Waldbaum's . 1 Wegmans . 2 Publix . 3 Trader Joe's . 4 Fareway Stores . 5 Market Basket (Northeast) 6 Costco . 7 Raley's . 8 Sprouts Farmers Market . 9 Fresh Market . 10 Stater Bros. 11 WinCo . 12 Hy-Vee . 13 H-E-B . 14 Aldi . 15 Whole Foods Market . 16 Fry's . 17 Harris-Teeter . 18 King Soopers . 19 Fred Meyer . 20 Food City (KY, TN, VA) 21 Hannaford . 22 Meijer . 23 Dillons . 24 Smith's Food & Drug . 25 Lowes Foods (NC) 26 ShopRite . 27 Schnucks . 28 Food 4 Less . 29 County Market . 30 QFC . 31 Kroger . 32 Save Mart . 33 Ingles . 34 IGA .
