It’s funny how people think working as an OGP Walmart associate is easy. Just grab some groceries, load them into cars, and call it a day, right? If only it were that simple. Today started like any other shift, clock in, grab the handheld device, and start picking orders. The first couple of carts went smoothly, but then I got that order. You know, the one with 120 items, half in the frozen section and the rest scattered all over the store. And of course, it’s a timed order, so you’re racing against the clock. I finally finish picking the items and head to staging. But as I’m loading everything into the cooler, I get a notification. The customer has arrived. Great. I run outside with their order and find them sitting in their car scrolling on their phone. I knock on the window, and they just give me a thumbs up instead of opening the trunk. After a few awkward moments, they finally tell me they forgot to clear their trunk, so I’ll have to make it work. If you’ve worked OGP Walmart, you know this is the moment your patience gets tested. I spend ten minutes rearranging their junk just to fit the groceries. When I’m done, they casually say they need two gallons of milk and some eggs added to the order. I explain the order is finalized and can’t be changed, and they hit me with the classic well, other OGP Walmart associates do it for me. By the time they leave, I’m sweaty, annoyed, and behind on my next order. Just another day working OGP Walmart where multitasking and chaos go hand in hand.

Life as an ogp walmart associate must be so strange it might actually make people do the weirdest things. There is this associate of mine who started to collect tomorrow's orders 'just in case'. I don't know what made him think that this is a normal thing to do and frankly, I don't want to know.

I'm an ogp associate at Walmart and I must tell you, whoever helped their ogp associates needs a big fat thank you. Starting with the associates at my store who helped us a lot, then everyone at the other stores who helped their ogp people. Love you guys. Thank you very very much. You guys are the best. These past few days were the days that your help was needed the most and boy, did you deliver.

I'm planning for a transfer to OGP Walmart and that department has divided our store. The reason for that is half the store hate OGP Walmart and half the store just don't care. I'm in the second group but I don't know why do people hate it so much. Their main reason is apparently OGP Walmart associates don't work as hard as the rest of the store. As far as I can see, that's not the case. I made some friends who work at OGP Walmart and they work their as^^s off. Do you hate OGP Walmart or just don't care?

Working OGP Walmart is the most unbalanced job you can find at Walmart. Sometimes you start your shift with a positive atmosphere in the store where almost everyone is energic and in a good mood because they have nothing to stress about. No crazy number of orders in the first hour, everyone is working carefully and helping each other perfectly. Ideal OGP Walmart world where everyone lives happily and easily. There is unfortunately a flip side to that coin. And I lived through the chaos of OGP Walmart once again and I realized that no matter how much I work for this place in this department, I never get used to it. It's a low budget, high affect horror film in 4k. You start your shift with 30 orders in the first hour and you already know it's a sh^t show. Associates fighting and yelling over some bullsh^t, Team Lead demanding more and more, and in the middle of all of this, imagine the poor you just got your first order and trying to find the specific brand of yogurt that no one in the store knows where it is while trying to escape absurd questions from both the customers and fellow associates. That was me yesterday. I was the 'poor you' in this story. I don't know if you know this but there is an unwritten rule at OGP Walmart that I bet almost every associate knows: once you get an order on your device, the time clock starts ticking faster and faster for no fu^^ing reason and yesterday was no different for me. While I was on the search for the stupid yogurt that was ordered by a stupid customer, I was racing against the time, and as you can imagine I was in an extreme hurry. I didn't know what I was seeing, doing, saying, or anything, I was just looking for that damn yogurt and when you are focused on this one thing when you are in a panic mode, you know nothing good will come out. So nothing good came out. I hit the damn stocker who was moving a pallet of milk and I literally thought I broke my fu^^ing knee. As if that wasn't enough, the pr^^k that I hit was screaming on top of me while I was in pain saying that I almost knocked down the entire pallet of milk, I almost got him in trouble, I almost did this did that bla bla. First off, I don't know why the fu^k would someone get mad over something that would have been happened. It didn't happen you fu^^ing id^^t, move on with your life. Isn't it a good thing for you that I actually didn't get you in trouble by knocking down a pallet of milk? Instead, I almost broke my knee. So why are you screaming like a baby? Anyway. This happened yesterday and I can tell you my knee still hurts from that and I carried on like a fu^^ing gladiator like anyone would give me a medal or something. This morning, it was another chaotic time and nature was not on my side either. I was loading up an order to a customer's car and a type of rain that I have never ever and I mean EVER seen in my life started to fall down from the sky all of a sudden. Do you know what the customer did? She just got into her car and left me with all of her groceries. While I was loading sh^t tons of items into her trunk and also trying not to get wet in the rain that was abnormal, she was telling me what item I should be putting, like in what order. I finished loading the items of her majesty and she left. I ran back to the warehouse but it was too fu^^ing late. I was like I went into a pool with my clothes on. I just hope I don't get sick because of this bi^^h. I mean, when I think about it again as I write this post, it was insane. I came across a lot of bi^^hy customers but this one was another level. This was topnotch. This was the Michael Jordan of Karens. I guess it's better to call her the Michelle Jordan of Karens. Anyways folks. As you can see it's NOT easy to be an OGP Walmart associate. May God help all of the Walmart associates but I just hope that he helps the ones who are working at OGP Walmart a little more.

Shopping baskets at OGP Walmart are TERRIBLE bro. 11 of them have broken for no reason only for THIS WEEK!

If you are an OGP Walmart associate, you don’t need to hit the gym. If you eat well, it’s impossible for you to not get fitter and fitter.

Does anyone have issues with searching up products on the website?

Like fr. I’m a picker and sometimes even I get confused in these big a^s stores bruh.

Especially after those long hours of driving around in the suburbs, delivering goods to ungrateful people who find something wrong with everything. I wish I find A LOT of money somewhere somehow. It wouldn’t solve all my problems, but it sure as he^l would solve most of em.

Have you noticed how lately Walmart is being super late with posting new articles on their online shop and how there are a million of products that didn’t even get uploaded in the shop ever? I believe that they have just employed wrong people working on it because it’s obvious it’s being neglected for the past few months. What are your opinions on this?

I’m an OGP worker and I just transferred to a different store. In my previous store, headphones were allowed. I always listen to podcasts and some music, and add a little bit of audiobooks there, you know what I’m saying? I was happy. It didn’t even feel like I was working. sh^t from management didn’t bother me, coworkers being morons didn’t bother me, so it was really really good. But when I came to my store, I was shocked. Headphones aren’t allowed and it’s crazy to me that people are able to work without listening to something they like. When I talked with my coworkers about it, some whined about it, but most seemed to be ok with it. I honestly can’t stand this rule. I wish I had asked them about it before I started. Now I regret changing my store.

I worked at OGP for 2 years. And I thought about trying to start my ecommerce business. I did, and failed unfortunately. I’m proud to say that I have zero regrets. I wouldn’t change a thing even if I had a chance to. Even though I failed financially, I learned a lot spiritually. I’m lucky enough to have a great relationship with people from my previous store, so I hit 'em up about a new job opportunity. They didn’t even hesitate for a second and said yes immediately. So I’ll start again at my old Walmart, with my old position. I feel blessed. I just wanted to share my story for people that are afraid to fail. It’s not the end of the world. I’m sure not everyone is lucky enough to go back to their previous job, but you’ll find a way, best believe.

I've been a delivery driver for a while now, and I can honestly say that working through bad weather is one of the toughest parts of the job. Most common problem is rain. Delivering in the rain means getting soaked to the bone even when wearing a raincoat. The packages often get wet and it gives me an instant dislike from the customers, even though I did everything I could to protect them. Not to mention the risk that rain contributes to the driving conditions. I see an accident happen in front of me almost every time it rains. Delivering in 100-degree weather is brutal as well. The AC in the truck just can’t win the fight against heat. There are days when I feel like I’m going to pass out from the heat. On the opposite end winter is something on another level. All the problems I’ve already mentioned - combined. Bad driving conditions, van heating working like a maniac trying to keep the temperature high, numb fingers… It probably seems like I’m exaggerating but it’s just how I feel. All of this made me start looking for a career change and I’m hoping to do it before the next winter. Stay safe out there, and DON’T TOUCH THE WHEEL. Ever.

I’ve been working at OGP since 2021. I feel like it’s time for me to aim for higher positions. I have the ambition, and I believe I have the skill set for what’s next. Even if I don’t, I will learn it. I want to become a manager because I believe I can become a great leader. It doesn’t have to be in the OGP department, I’m open to any management position. Do you guys have any advice for me?
