      This is what I’m going through but not at Walmart. I ran a stage where no one wants. It’s hard work. I was moved but the guy who was put in my position quit about 9 months in. Now they want someone there and I said I don’t. I did way more than the guy that just left and another new guy don’t want it but he acts like a big shot and I tell him go there bro you got shit but he’s just bluffing. They’ve been putting me in there and I’m not in good terms with the team lead and mostly everyone there so I’m thinking of going to Walmart but there’s just too many bad reviews of working there. I was offered cap 2 but I hate 2-11. What do you think? I’m sure the work won’t be as hard as what I do now.

    I used to work as a cashier at Walmart and it was awful. We were stuck on the registers because the CSM’s wouldn’t give us our breaks on time and then a rush of customers came. When there were no customers, we weren’t allowed to at least speak to the cashiers at the registers next to us. The customers always complained about stuff that we had no control over. Whenever I would tell them their total, they would question me about the price of everything they picked up and give me dirty looks as if I did something wrong. They always picked up items from the wrong spots and wanted to use the cheaper price for their item that costed way more. Or they would find the one item in the entire store that had no price tag or barcode, so we would have to wait for a CSM to do a price check, which always made my line super long! I was often questioned about how come I didn’t know the price as if I was trained to memorize every single item in the store. Most of the customers are rude AND incompetent, but would try to belittle me. So true about all of the noise being in the front! There was just so much noise and chaos in the front of the store. It was really stressful being there. And don’t get me started on the scammers and constant stealing!!! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

    I worked in dairy for about 6 months. I absolutely hated it. My task was basically refilling milks and the juice wall. The milks weren't that bad but can be hectic on Sundays. Juices were a pain because you had to dig through pallets to find a specific juice. That would often leave a mess, and many times what you were looking for wasn't there. Come to find out. The DM did a poor job at sales rates to keep the shelves filled, so you had to fill empty spaces with excess inventory where they didn't belong. Working at Walmart was just a total nightmare. Going into work was the worse and having to deal with condescending managers just made it a deplorable experience.

    Supermarket cashier here.
    I’m not sure if it’s like this in other stores but where I work there is some sort of accomplishment. My manager tells me to scan 20 items a minute and my goal get 30 items a minute and ngl I have fun doing it. The cashier that can scan the most items a minute in that week wins a 10$ gift card. Whenever I’m not busy, I help my co-workers bag, organize my station or whatever is a mess. I’ve been working there for nearly five months now and I still love it.

    IM glad you touched on that topic of when the customers swipe their debit cards because those little machines work only about 70 % of the time and they always blame the employee. They seriously act as if they know how to use the cashier better than you only because they shop there regularly. Ridiculous.

    I never worked retail but I have a friend who has worked at Wal-Mart the past 20+ years (he started while still in high school). Based on what he's told me:
    -Shoes - At the time he was kind of embarrassed to be working in shoes but he looks back on it and says it wasn't bad - the shift flew by as he was super busy the entire time.
    -Paint - He didn't mind paint. I think he takes pride in the fact he knows how to mix paint and his managers (including the store manager) don't know how to do it.
    -Lawn & Garden - He liked working outside though he would complain about being tired or beaten up from moving heavy bags of mulch, sand, etc. around.
    -Outdoors - He currently works this section along with toys. He's an outdoorsy hunter type of dude and he likes working behind the counter giving people fishing and hunting licenses and talking about the subject with others.
    -Toys- His favorite part about working toys are getting to talk to good-looking moms.
    I don't think he's worked any other departments. And from time to time they make him clean the bathroom when some clown makes a mess and the maintenance guy hasn't yet come in. Poor dude.

    That is one thing I did enjoy about working at Target back in 2013 in terms of accomplishment. I was assigned to the A and B sections the most because they trusted me to get those areas done zoneing wise before closing, since I was able to most nights, with some exceptions. With that, along with stocking items that they put in those line carts in the back, I really did get a sense of accomplishment and is what made me leave my shift feeling Content. Plus the team and managers they had at the time really did feel like family, and that is what made those two years the most cherished in retail for me. Like, I was always willing to go above and beyond for my Team Leads because I respected them, and I know they respected me. I never got that feeling working anywhere else. And even when I tried working at a different Target for a few months, it didn't feel the same.

Then when you didn’t have it, you would be expected to check with other stores for availability. If I didn’t have an inventory gun with me, that meant that I had to put the person on hold and call other stores myself. Why? The customer can make the calls themselves and it would take the same amount of time. Plus, this pulls you away from your department where you need to get stuff done before the next shift comes in.

Working in "Electronics" essentially meant you worked everywhere in the store, but our electronics section was very rarely dead enough to get anything done, so often new PoGs would remain unfinished for days at a time because you and your coworkers got pulled to a busy Layaway, or Front End for hours on end.
    The day I switched to the Pricing Team was my first day of calm, as I was no longer tied to any department and could often choose which one(s) I went to to change the signs each day. Finding a Gun/printer combo I could rely on was often the biggest snag since both were 2000 years old, or missing.

    I worked in Lawn & Garden for my entire 3 years at my store.
    Most of my co-workers were pretty good to work with, save for one (who took longer lunches and breaks [didn't have a medical reason to justify it either] and was a severe Jesus freak that thought everything outside of the Church was unholy and sinful).
    The department managers that were in charge... my first and third department managers were pretty chill, the second one was a severe tight ass who yelled at you over the slightest issue.
    The tasks in that department varied from pretty easy to downright ludicrous. Watering the flowers was nice, but expecting me to sweep the entire second parking lot of mulch and other trash within an hour? Simply, it's impossible.
    However, when the pandemic first started, the next couple of months after (which were also my last months since I quit in June) were shit.
    Now just to clarify, even in the state of Virginia, our summer months can still see temps reach as high as the low 100s and as low as the low 90s / high 80s. It just so happened that for at least half of every week, our temps reach those high and low temps.
    Now for more clarification - I'm fat. I'm very fat. I'm not as crazy fat as some of my co-workers that I worked with there, but I'm fat. Wearing a mask every day for practically my entire day made working in Lawn & Garden horrible. I got talked to by managers because they'd notice my mask was below my nose (even if I was outside and away from people).
    The worst thing that happened, before the incident that made me resign, was when my department manager (the third one, who was chill) pulled me aside and told me a customer had reported me to him and showed him a picture of me with my mask below my nose when I was outside of the store helping to load up mulch into another customer's trailer.
    A customer took a picture of me (without my knowledge), and reported me to my manager...
    I honestly just conceded and admitted that I did indeed have my mask below my nose outside, and my manager was cool enough to just let me off with a warning since he knew it was hot outside.
    After that incident though, I hated the customers at Walmart. Before it was just an indifference marred by a few bad eggs here and there... but after that incident, I hated all of them. Any one of them could've have been the customer that reported me.
    I wish I had asked my department manager what that customer looked like, but I'm pretty sure he'd decline answering that question.
    I'll say this - if I end up meeting the customer that reported me... I'll give them rightful hell. I'd personally like to tip their grocery cart filled with groceries over and ruin their grocery trip, or snatch their purse and pull out all their cash and cards and flush them in a toilet.

    Never worked for Walmart before but was recruited for the new Team Leader position. It has been amazing so far. I oversee the GM side at a Supercenter and listening to you complain about opening boxes and stocking in different departments makes me laugh. I have high schoolers that do all departments daily. It’s opening boxes and stocking, you answer what you can with customers and reach out if you don’t have an answer.

      You think being an associate it’s stressful?? Step into the leadership role and assume responsibility in all departments, head up disgruntled customers, manage employees time off and absence’s while getting your tasks done as well as coaching your staff throughout the day.

    I used to work as a cashier over the self checkout overnight at Walmart. The cashiers during the daytime at self checkout are required to stand in the middle of the square area and not more unless that red or yellow light goes off over the registers. Overnight if I wasn’t putting products back which was always a mountain of it (and they would get mad at us during the day time that 2 people can’t empty out 15 or over carts worth of things between tag teaming the self checkout and breaks before 7am or 6am depending on what nighttime manager was in charged.) to this day I get angry when I hear people say things like “I don’t trust the self checkout” (like it has a consciousness of its own) or “self checkout is taking people’s jobs.” Even before the self checkout, if Walmart could run on a skeleton crew, they would so the registers make no difference. Or even better customers yelling at you because if a item doesn’t have a barcode or UPC on it we can’t sell it to them because some customer think their so smart by peeling of sell tags and sticking them on whole sell items and thinking we won’t notice because we’re looking over your shoulder (like a stalker) for that. Or customer yelling at you because their under 30 but forgot their driver license and they warn us that we can be fired immediately if the wrong person sees or even go to jail. So yet besides meeting some cool people cashier does sucks.

    I worked as an overnight stocker. Was originally hired on as holiday help but managed to do well enough they kept me. Household or whatever the fuck that department is called is where I started stocking. I hated that department. Then came hardware. It was super easy but insanely plugged. I found myself spending more time fixing the plugged items and mixing paint from time to time. The final department I worked was 8 (pets). For the most part it wasn't too bad despite the heavy volume. I was left alone over there and even managed to get a couple awards for doing a good job. I made the zoning in there look amazing. Got lots of compliments about it.
    Even though I stopped working at Malwart Supercenter in North Scottsdale almost 16 years ago, I can't say I miss my time there.

    Ok so I feel ya about Paint/Hardware it's the department I've been working in for a year and honestly it sucks well the bosses make it suck. They yell at me for not getting freight done when I got a crap load of paint to mix plus doing returns and recently got wrote up for some bs reason that wasn't my fault but 3rd shifts. Then people think its totally ok to leave things from other departments in mine and that includes lube yes the ky jelly vibrators and stuff in my area not anywhere else just mine. Lightbulbs are always a mess. The command strips I could zone one minute then after I walk away for like 10 mins it somehow magically messes itself up again. Tools are always stolen. Oh and the lightbulbs they get broken all the time like every day I find a broken bulb shoved back behind other bulbs. And the worst thing about my department is the god awful spray paint. Not only do they not spray the strips that we take the time to put out they end up spraying the pricing strips and not only that we get a freaking high off of the spray paint (well maybe that can be a good thing). Anyway I listen to other people complain about their freight I'm like dude have you even worked paint. We're not just some regular sized supercenter either its like Sam's club size. But yea felt good to get that off my chest.

    Okay I don’t know who’s reading this right now but I started my first day at electronics (my friend who worked their told me it’s the easiest job you can get for 14 an hour) I started and they gave me like 10 different things we had to do, they showed me how to print pictures(which I didn’t get) they showed me how to use the cash register (which I didn’t get) the only real thing I knew that was simple enough was stocking. Now my question is to people who have worked in electronics, do I really need to know all those skills or can I survive just stocking and helping customers out?

      Really difficult customers too, people get PISSED when you don't have a certain toy, or if it's kind of expensive.

    Had a really annoying experience with the Photo peeps at walmart one time while i was volunteering at a wildlife care center. Went in to get some photos printed for an educational poster about the animals we had and the employee wouldnt let us print. His baloney excuse was the pictures were "too nice" and must not have been taken by us even when he saw us take the dang sd card out of the camera that took the pictures in front of him!

      Had to clean human feces off the floor one time. I had called for maintenance but they didn't come. I was tired and frustrated waiting for them so I just cleaned the crap myself. On different occasions people would leave used dirty diapers in the towel section or in hampers. On a different note, this is something I heard about. They had to get rid of a whole pallet of 2-liter sodas because a customer peed on them. So, yeah my store had to deal with them.

    If you're working at those Walmart Neighborhood Markets, stay the fuck away from deli or bakery. They're actually one combined department. That means you have to deal with two departments at the same time. Also, YOU'RE WORKING ALONE. Sometimes they get you out of your one hour lunch and tell you to finish your lunch later.
