Our Wal-Mart hasn't been open for 24 hours since the end of the pandemic. But 5 years ago I was working 2nd Shift at a factory and would commonly go there either immediately after work, or a couple of hours later to do some grocery shopping. Every time I came in at those hours, I would hear this condescending/annoyed voice over the PA system directing A) employee to assist in B) department. Eventually, while I was at the self-checkout one night, I waited until the PA came on again to record it with my old phone. The next day, I called up the store manager and played the recording for him after a brief description. I never knew if it did any good, but Christ dude...

I worked for Walmart once. I got fired for swearing in public, but I wasn't in public. I was in the stockroom getting pallets ready to go to the floor to be shelved. You'll notice, I'm not denying my colorful choice of language. That's because of how it happened. I had a pallet stacked more than 9 feet high of laundry detergent (liquid). This is how high they told me to stack it. I was taking it out to the floor, when some little schmuck in a white shirt and black tie with a name tag gets in my way. I said excuse me, he didn't move. I was moving at a fairly good clip by this time, and had to swerve to avoid running this guy down. When I did, I hit a half pallet of car batteries, and the entire pallet of liquid laundry detergent landed on me. Turns out, that schmuck with the white shirt and black tie was a district manager of pharmacy, worried about HIS department. I was fired that night, because this guy got in my way. I went from there, to another department store across the street, and was instantly hired for the exact same job, at a better pay rate.
I lasted six months working for Walmart. Everything this man said was true at my location as well, except it wasn't considered "time theft" to talk to coworkers. We were just told we weren't allowed to speak at all. So much so they separated every employee to no more than two an aisle. They also didn't tolerate raises, allowing nobody to ask while displaying how much profit the store made that month. What broke me was "supervisors and managers" mishandle and abuse the shift schedules. They changed or added shifts without the employees knowledge so they could add points to your record all while blaming the employee "you should have checked your hours more". I've even seen employees fired for having too many of those points when they did nothing wrong, management illegally added the points themselves I finally put in my two weeks when I overheard a first shift lead and our ONLY HR lady discussing which loophole they could use or find to get a man back to work the next day. That man just lost his mother.

I've worked for Walmart before and I know how badly they treat their employees. However, if they have to pay workers more, they're just going to raise their prices to compensate. Then everyone suffers. Instead of trying to get more pay, why not try to do something about the high cost of living? If your pay goes up and then the cost of living goes up, you'll just be in the same predicament all over again.
I think if a business can't benefit its community, it shouldn't exist. They aren't paying a livable wage even after benefitting from many tax subsudies. It's possible we could have a cheap grocery delivery service if it had an economy of scale, or even go back to local independent grocerers. Walmart is stifling innovation at this point
Im 30 mins outside of chicago in the suburbs the city of Chicago has a minimum wage of 15$ rest of the state is way less but the Walmart i work at is 17$ starting pay up than up to 22$ depending what you do , tomorrow's my orientation, pretty excited, 2pm-11pm 4 days a week
Quick answer: don't work for Walmart. Longer answer: I worked for Walmart for a brief time. It's not a great place to work. I have never worked at a place that allows their best workers to be mistreated by people who are phoning in their work. Lunches were stolen and management refused to confront the thieves that were on camera, there were incidents of sexual harassment and blatant racism that were ignored by management, their promotion bonus and pay is a bad joke. I found another job that not only paid better but allowed me to promote. Moral of the story: don't work at Walmart. If you are willing to work, get a different job.
If you have any job even a minimum wage job unless you have children you don't get no food stamps. The state doesn't help anybody that has a job unless you have children.
these are a group of grown people. if they are unable to live making the wage they make then they should get another job or a second job. I am sick and tired of hearing middle aged people that didn't strive to improve themselves beyond the minimum wage job they have complaining that they make close to minimum wage... it's a job. you being happy isn't their problem it's yours. if you aren't happy find another job. .. you knew what you would be making before you took the job! you can't accept the wage they offer then complain to everyone that it's not enough!
There are only so many jobs for people to have. Maybe instead we should destroy the monopolies that control everything in our lives. From the things that we buy and the jobs that we have to our government.
Wal-Mart, Kroger, it's all the same. I've been with Kroger for six years and they pay so little, that I'm homeless, more than I'm housed. So sad! These companies make BILLIONS. Keep us poor!
I don't understand how people think it's ok to be late to work and not get held accountable...how are you expected to run a business if several people are late doesn't matter if it's 9 minutes late.
When I used to shop at walmart I couldn't imagine how to get everything without going to walmart. I stopped anyway and I haven't had a problem going without Walmart for 8 years. It's not easy here, where they have outcompeted most other businesses but, that's an illusion. Once you have conviction, it's stronger than monopoly.
Just remember this you all did this... Everyone here shops at Walmart your parents shopped there when you were a kid ... That forced smaller stores to close it caused targets and JC Penny to close it forced so many closures bc u could buy cereal tv and pants there that now they have no competition for workers.... My hometown is a good example we only have a Walmart and a Kroger... When we had two Krogers a marsh an Aldi's a target a JC Penny ... They all closed now
If a company can profit billions of dollars….then the worker is worth more than what they’re being paid. So sick of people acting like these folks don’t deserve a living wage cause they don’t work in the oil fields or something like that.
Increase wages increases prices. Setting us right back to where we currently are. Pointless. All you do is devalue the dollar. It hurts more than it helps.
I'm glad I got out of that shithole. Walmart could be destroyed tomorrow and nothing of value would be lost, plenty of other businesses could come up from those ashes.
Don't accept this bad pay... And if you have to accept this pay, than don't work hard... Let them fire you or lay you off... 15 dollars an hour is worthless. Not worth me not telling my boss co workers and customers to F off...

Corrective actions last an entire year while you have a corrective action you cannot switch departments learn new jobs or new equipment. When you quit your vacation time is not paid out. You only get one hour of sick time for every 40 hours worked so good luck getting enuff sick time to cover a day off it will take 3 months of work for one day of sick time.

I was promised that the pay would be raised from $14 to $15 an hour when 2024 came around. Well, it's 2024 and the pay has not increased whatsoever. My department has been lied to.

And if that wasn't bad enough, she then went on to kill a pedestrian and LEAVE THE SCENE OF THE CRIME! Last time I checked hit and runs were felonies but she got probation and then her record was cleared. This was all in the 80s and 90s but as recently as 2011 she was pulled over in Texas driving erratically and failed a breathalyzer test. Mind you at this point she was a MULTI BILLIONAIRE who could literally afford to be driven in a gold plated hummer by a male model made to look like 1980s Harrison Ford but no, she likes risking the lives of us peasants by driving intoxicated. Moreover, there's been rumors (according to my bestie who works as a dispatcher in texas) she has been pulled over many times since but with the mass adoption of cellphones it's easier for her to call her lawyer and then have him call the governor of whatever state she's in to force the cop who pulled her over with immediate termination if he doesn't instantly let her go and pretend the entire incident didn't happen.

Coal miners would have to ride wagon trains to get to the sites in the 1800s they had no money to eat so the company would just deduct their wages from that.

Vicious circle
I blame the government. My state goes off of the federal state minimum wage. You could legally be getting paid $7.25/hr. It needs an increase. The last increase was in 2009 after the great recession. Which only had a GDP decline of -5.1%. The covid recession had a -19.2% gdp decline comparatively.
I know of MANAGEMENT that live on assistance. Hire them young and proud. So that they can brag about making $50k being alot of $$. Some make more than others. But the majority is so low they have no choice But to get assistance. And Wal-Mart makes enough to pay $20 an hour. That would put $$ back into their store and the community. Wal-Mart's first customer is there associates on the floor. By paying $20 an hour to start. Their profits would double in less than a month.
Here in Italy we have €7/hr average And for young under 25 we have even like 600€/month salary. No future for young men & girls 😠 Gas and food cost more than US
I usually do any job faithfully, I get a feeling of satisfaction out of doing it well. But when I worked for Wal*Mart, I felt it was important to make the corporation pay, for how terrible they are.

It felt like the appropriate and good thing to do... and it was a fun game that helped to pass the time, at an otherwise terrible job!

because they can afford to lose workers because they make so much profit, it's okay for the =m to wait it out, but people can't afford to be unemplyed for long periods of time without support, and the companies know and depend on this. As long as there are no other options, people will keep working for horrible companies because the alternative is to lose everything.

@@iamcosma7065 the point is they have all this money to get to shareholders, and buyback stocks, but when it comes to paying someone a living wage, they say they can’t do it.
School districts are horrible too. They pay minimum wage to support staff, and take a lot of your pay to have it go to your crappy little retirement fund.
Walmart has the most horrible leads and management. I paint Walmarts, so I work at Walmart, but not for them. I hear the employees get yelled at like they were bad children. Talked to like garbage. Just absolutely disrespected. Then told “tough, find another job “. It’s completely changed my view of them as a company. I don’t even shop there anymore honestly
Ya, I've subcontracted in their stores in Florida and never dealt with so many miserable people in my life. They hate their jobs and are just there for a paycheck!

I’ve shopped at Walmart 3 or 4 times in the past 20 years. I am more than happy to buy less so that I can afford to pay more at locally owned businesses. Where you spend your dollars is a vote! I realize I’m blessed to live in an area with options, I’m so sorry for the millions of people in our country who are victims of corporate greed
Purchasing stuff is not voting for anything . 1 person 1 vote. Voting is picking the best most viable candidate . If I want/need product X that cost 100.00 but I only have 50. You would buy product z of lower quality . Voting with dollars is a stupid concept

@@Chris-lf4sr so wanting something he has not earned equates to wanting a living wage for the hours worked while companies make record breaking profits and take in government subsidies from your tax dollars yet still can’t afford to pay their workers a living wage??? It’s funny you say that because since 1978 the income of companies has gone up 937% while workers pay have only risen by 5.7% yet you have the audacity to say that it’s asking to much to be paid a living wage?

Minimum wage in Denmark is $25.00. The United States is a failing nation that is now doing to its own people what it has done to other nations for over 100 years.

Imagine asking for a wage that's lower than enough to afford to live with any dignity and STILL being told no. At that point, it's the workers fault for agreeing to work for them.

In my nation a child under the age of 18 is not allowed to make less than $16,8 n' hour.
& an uneducated person above 18 is not allowed to earn less than $25,12 n' hour.
What kinda nation doesn't adjust for inflation, that's just insane to think about.
And let me guess, a loaf of bread is about 10 bucks where you live, am I right? So that extra pay just adds to inflation cause they gotta pay the low skill employees more.
Me and my coworkers regularly joke about running eachother over with pick up carts so we can get a medical payout and not have to come to work. All jokes but the feelings behind it are real.

Oh hell no!!!
@@tommybiggers8496 Get real.
I've worked for Walmart before and I know how badly they treat their employees.
However, if they have to pay workers more, they're just going to raise their prices to compensate. Then everyone suffers.
Instead of trying to get more pay, why not try to do something about the high cost of living? If your pay goes up and then the cost of living goes up, you'll just be in the same predicament all over again.
They can afford to increase their employees pay without raising prices.
I think if a business can't benefit its community, it shouldn't exist. They aren't paying a livable wage even after benefitting from many tax subsudies.
It's possible we could have a cheap grocery delivery service if it had an economy of scale, or even go back to local independent grocerers. Walmart is stifling innovation at this point

Lol I've been there almost two years making $13.
That’s so cap
Quick answer: don't work for Walmart.
Longer answer: I worked for Walmart for a brief time. It's not a great place to work. I have never worked at a place that allows their best workers to be mistreated by people who are phoning in their work. Lunches were stolen and management refused to confront the thieves that were on camera, there were incidents of sexual harassment and blatant racism that were ignored by management, their promotion bonus and pay is a bad joke. I found another job that not only paid better but allowed me to promote.
Moral of the story: don't work at Walmart. If you are willing to work, get a different job.
How did we become a society of people aspiring to be cashiers?
You win! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Forced by elite by being pushed down
Walmart was hell. Im glad i left i was constantly not doing enough for the am's and managers. It sucked
If you have any job even a minimum wage job unless you have children you don't get no food stamps. The state doesn't help anybody that has a job unless you have children.
Some states do provide "food stamps" to adults without children.
these are a group of grown people. if they are unable to live making the wage they make then they should get another job or a second job. I am sick and tired of hearing middle aged people that didn't strive to improve themselves beyond the minimum wage job they have complaining that they make close to minimum wage... it's a job. you being happy isn't their problem it's yours. if you aren't happy find another job. .. you knew what you would be making before you took the job! you can't accept the wage they offer then complain to everyone that it's not enough!
There are only so many jobs for people to have. Maybe instead we should destroy the monopolies that control everything in our lives. From the things that we buy and the jobs that we have to our government.

I don't understand how people think it's ok to be late to work and not get held accountable...how are you expected to run a business if several people are late doesn't matter if it's 9 minutes late.
When I used to shop at walmart I couldn't imagine how to get everything without going to walmart. I stopped anyway and I haven't had a problem going without Walmart for 8 years. It's not easy here, where they have outcompeted most other businesses but, that's an illusion.
Once you have conviction, it's stronger than monopoly.
$20/hr isn't enough nowadays 😕
Just remember this you all did this... Everyone here shops at Walmart your parents shopped there when you were a kid ... That forced smaller stores to close it caused targets and JC Penny to close it forced so many closures bc u could buy cereal tv and pants there that now they have no competition for workers.... My hometown is a good example we only have a Walmart and a Kroger... When we had two Krogers a marsh an Aldi's a target a JC Penny ... They all closed now
"i hear they put ankle bracelets on their employees"
If a company can profit billions of dollars….then the worker is worth more than what they’re being paid. So sick of people acting like these folks don’t deserve a living wage cause they don’t work in the oil fields or something like that.
Increase wages increases prices. Setting us right back to where we currently are. Pointless. All you do is devalue the dollar. It hurts more than it helps.
I'm glad I got out of that shithole. Walmart could be destroyed tomorrow and nothing of value would be lost, plenty of other businesses could come up from those ashes.
$11 is a disposable job
Walmart is corrupt. Massive corporate welfare. Sick.
Don't accept this bad pay... And if you have to accept this pay, than don't work hard... Let them fire you or lay you off... 15 dollars an hour is worthless. Not worth me not telling my boss co workers and customers to F off...

I WENT FROM MAKING 36.00 AN HR TO 14 WHEN I STARTED AT WALMART. I WAS TOLD YOU HAVE TO BE THERE FOR 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR REGARDLESS IN ORDER TO BE ELGIBLE TO WORK FULL TIME.
I work at a target warehouse you are expect to clock in 5 minutes early, you do not get paid for those 5 minutes. If you are 1 minute late it’s a hit, if you get 5 hits no call no show sick with no sick time no doctors not or i minute late it’s a hit after 5 it’s a corrective action you can now get 2 more corrective actions until your fired.
Corrective actions last an entire year while you have a corrective action you cannot switch departments learn new jobs or new equipment.
When you quit your vacation time is not paid out.
You only get one hour of sick time for every 40 hours worked so good luck getting enuff sick time to cover a day off it will take 3 months of work for one day of sick time.

Remember Walmart heiress Alice Walton has a history of drunk driving and after being ticketed w/ a DUI the cop who was set to testify in court was summarily fired over the radio right after parking his cruiser! And if that wasn't bad enough, she then went on to kill a pedestrian and LEAVE THE SCENE OF THE CRIME! Last time I checked hit and runs were felonies but she got probation and then her record was cleared. This was all in the 80s and 90s but as recently as 2011 she was pulled over in Texas driving erratically and failed a breathalyzer test. Mind you at this point she was a MULTI BILLIONAIRE who could literally afford to be driven in a gold plated hummer by a male model made to look like 1980s Harrison Ford but no, she likes risking the lives of us peasants by driving intoxicated. Moreover, there's been rumors (according to my bestie who works as a dispatcher in texas) she has been pulled over many times since but with the mass adoption of cellphones it's easier for her to call her lawyer and then have him call the governor of whatever state she's in to force the cop who pulled her over with immediate termination if he doesn't instantly let her go and pretend the entire incident didn't happen.
I have worked at Walmart 15 + years and new hires-with much less experience; are Paid More $$$ Than Me! Walmart Does Not Value Long Term Employees At All!!! 😮
Coal miners would have to ride wagon trains to get to the sites in the 1800s they had no money to eat so the company would just deduct their wages from that. When they showed up to work they got paid so little they had to rely on company stores for food and clothing. At that point they would stop being pains in money and paid in company credit. Vicious circle

I blame the government. My state goes off of the federal state minimum wage. You could legally be getting paid $7.25/hr.
It needs an increase. The last increase was in 2009 after the great recession. Which only had a GDP decline of -5.1%. The covid recession had a -19.2% gdp decline comparatively.

I know of MANAGEMENT that live on assistance. Hire them young and proud. So that they can brag about making $50k being alot of $$. Some make more than others. But the majority is so low they have no choice But to get assistance. And Wal-Mart makes enough to pay $20 an hour. That would put $$ back into their store and the community.
Wal-Mart's first customer is there associates on the floor. By paying $20 an hour to start. Their profits would double in less than a month.
As they should!

It felt like the appropriate and good thing to do... and it was a fun game that helped to pass the time, at an otherwise terrible job!
