Let's talk about things at work!
Favoritism
Why does Walmart management always make decisions based on favoritism and not merit?

... read morePharmacy is a wild place to work in
It’s wild how many people think we’re magicians back here in the pharmacy. We’re filling hundreds of prescriptions, taking calls, checking insurance, and dealing with folks who yell because we don’t have their exact flavor of cough syrup.

Walked 15,000 steps, dealt with 20 angry customers, and somehow had to explain to an associate that you can’t just nap in the break room mid-shift. What a great day yesterday was.
The Speed Demon
Picked 210 items in under 2 hours and only crashed my cart into one display. That’s what I call professional efficiency with a dash of chaos.
The Newbie
First week on register and I’ve already been yelled at over prices, asked if I “even know what I’m doing,” and had a kid hand me a sticky dollar. I smiled through all of it. Barely.
Does Walmart sell li^^^r?
Customer asked, “Does Walmart sell li^^^r?” Depends on the state. We do in some, but not in others thanks to local laws. Ours has beer and wine only. What’s the setup like at your store? Full li^^^r section or dry county vibes?

Store hours
I seen that some Walmart's are closing at 10pm. Is it going to happen at all Walmart's?
Mean people towards door host!
How many times a day do you get screamed at when you do your job and ask "May I see your receipt please?" Wouldn't you love to scream back with I'm just doing my job!!!
Hiring non employee for team lead positions
why does Walmart advertise team lead positions to the general public if they are not even going to consider them.

Does Walmart accept Afterpay?
Customer asked me the other day, “Does Walmart accept Afterpay?” Quick answer: nope, not in store or online. We’ve got Affirm for some online stuff, but it’s not quite the same. Do y’all get people asking about it often too?
... read moreAre dogs allowed in Walmart?
Quick question are dogs allowed in Walmart? I know service animals are, but lately I’ve seen people rolling in with purse pups and stroller dogs. Policies seem kinda fuzzy. How does your store handle it?
... read moreIs Aldi cheaper than Walmart?
One of my coworkers swears Aldi is cheaper than Walmart. I dunno… maybe on produce, but our rollback prices hit hard too. Has anyone actually compared full grocery carts? I’m tempted to do it just to prove a point. 😅
... read moreHow many Walmarts are in the US?
Customer hit me with a weird one today: “How many Walmarts are in the US?” I had no clue but guessed over 4,000. They were impressed. 😂 Anyone here actually know the number? And how many have you worked at?
... read moreDoes Walmart dr^g test?
Got asked by a new hire if Walmart dr^g tests. From what I know, it depends on the position—some do, some don’t. I think managers and asset protection still get tested. What was your onboarding like? Anyone get surprised by this?
... read moreWhat time does customer service close?
We get so many people asking, “What time does Walmart customer service close?” especially late in the evening. Ours closes at 8 PM but people still show up after like we’re just gonna open it back up. What time does yours shut down, and do y’all make announcements?
... read moreHow much does Walmart pay?
Had someone at SCO chatting me up asking, “So how much does Walmart pay?” 😅 I told them it depends on the position and location. Starting pay here’s around $15/hr but it varies. I guess the poor guy is considering a Walmart application but he doesn't have a clue about what it's really like.
... read moreWho owns Walmart?
A little girl asked me the other day, “Who owns Walmart?” and I actually blanked for a sec 😂 I just said, “Uhhh… the Walton family.” Pretty sure that’s still true, right? Do you guys ever get questions outta nowhere that catch you off guard?
... read moreWhen does Walmart pharmacy close?
Quick question—what time does the pharmacy close at your store? Ours shuts down at 7 PM, but folks always wander over at 7:15 like they’re shocked. Had to turn away three people yesterday. Do you announce it or just close the gate and hope for the best?
... read more“Me Walmart”... what?
Okay, so this guy came up to the service desk and just said “Me Walmart” like that was enough context 😂 Took me a sec to realize he was asking about a Walmart+ return but couldn’t explain it. Anyone else had one of those vague convos where you’re just guessing what they mean?
... read moreDoes Walmart price match?
Had a customer come in waving a Target ad and asking, “Does Walmart price match?” Told him no, we haven’t done that in a while, except for Walmart.com. He got all salty about it. Do you think they’ll ever bring price matching back in stores?
