Store hours
I seen that some Walmart's are closing at 10pm. Is it going to happen at all Walmart's?
How 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 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 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?

Made 40 cupcakes, decorated two birthday cakes, and somehow ended up with frosting on my elbow, forehead, and shoe. No idea how.
Built different
I just unloaded 4 pallets of canned goods by myself while listening to the radio and dodging a raccoon in the back lot. Overnight crew is built different.
Black Friday open time is 6 AM still?
What time does Walmart open on Black Friday this year? I remember when we used to do midnight openings but now it feels like 6 AM is the norm. Trying to mentally prepare now because that day is… not for the weak. #BlackFriday #StoreHours
... read moreCanceling Walmart+ seems too complicated
Anyone else try to help a customer figure out how to cancel Walmart Plus and realize it’s not super obvious? Ended up Googling it and walking them through. Feels like we should have a mini FAQ sheet or something up front. #WalmartPlus #CustomerSupport
... read moreWhen does customer service shut down
What time does Walmart customer service close at your store? Ours shuts down at 8 PM sharp but some customers still wander over asking to return stuff at 9:45. No matter how many signs we post, they don’t see them. #Returns #StoreOps
... read moreAnyone actually use Walmart Cash?
A customer asked me “what is Walmart Cash” and I sort of fumbled the explanation. I think it’s rewards for using specific promotions, but has anyone actually seen customers use it? Or used it themselves? #CustomerQuestions #WalmartPlus
... read moreFound footage: “me at Walmart”
Coworker caught a video of me trying to wrestle a 55” TV onto a flat cart by myself and posted it with “me at Walmart” as the caption. Not even mad. Sums up half our shifts honestly. #FunnyMoments
... read moreThanksgiving 2024 confirmed closed again?
Quick check—are we closed on Thanksgiving 2024 again like the last few years? Honestly glad if we are. The holiday shift used to be so rough and barely anyone showed up to shop anyway. #StorePolicy #Holidays
... read moreJuly 4th—get out early or no?
Does anyone know if Walmart is open on July 4th all day this year? I’ve got a cookout to hit and I’m hoping they close us at like 6 or 7. Last year we had shoppers coming in literally right before fireworks. #Holidays
... read moreEaster schedule confusion
Do y’all remember if Walmart was open on Easter 2024? I swear we had people lined up at the door and we didn’t even open until noon. If we’re closed next year, I hope they actually post it early. #Holidays #StorePolicy
... read morePay bumps or just rumors?
How much does Walmart pay where you’re at now? I’ve been hearing people talk about new raises in other regions. Some stores supposedly starting at $16+ for associates. Anyone actually see these changes or is it still just location by location? #Pay #Careers
... read moreAnother “what time do you close” day
Had three people ask me “what time does Walmart close today” while standing under a sign that literally says it. I don’t even get annoyed anymore—it’s almost comforting. Like, yes, welcome to the routine chaos. #CustomerService #EverydayLife
... read moreThat post-shift parking lot stare
Ever just sit in your car for like 15 minutes after clocking out, staring into the void? Not mad, not tired exactly, just… decompressing. Something about that parking lot silence hits different after a long shift. #Relatable
... read moreLost & Found gets weirder every week
Just this week we had: a single pink Croc (size 4), someone’s baby monitor, and a pack of hot dogs. All left in random aisles. Not returned, not asked about, just abandoned. I want to know the stories behind these. #WeirdFinds
... read moreLunchroom fridge mystery continues
Okay, who keeps taking random bites out of other people’s lunches and putting them back? I thought that kind of thing was just meme material but it’s real. Half a sandwich gone. Pudding cup empty, just the container left. It’s like someone’s trolling us. #BreakRoomLife
... read moreThe way people treat carts…
I watched a customer just shove a cart halfway onto the sidewalk and walk off like it was normal. Wind caught it and it slammed into a display cart return. No one batted an eye. Sometimes I wonder if folks realize how much damage they do without noticing. #CustomerBehavior #PetPeeves
... read moreWhat's with the intercom voice lately
Is anyone else’s intercom system acting weird lately? Ours sounds like a 90s walkie-talkie—cutting in and out, super static-y. Our CSM’s voice always gets chopped halfway through “Customer needs assistance…” so now customers just stand there confused. Corporate tech fix soon maybe? #StoreOperations
... read moreRegister 4 is cursed
Tell me every store has that one register that always breaks. Ours is register 4—scanner glitches, drawer jams, card reader just dies. We all try to avoid it but somehow end up there every shift. Starting to think it’s haunted. Anyone else got a “haunted” register? #FrontEnd
... read moreOvernight shifts are their own world
Working overnight feels like a totally different job. No managers breathing down your neck, different crew vibe, and way more freedom. But also... weird customers at 3 AM and constant restocking. Anyone else on overnights and love it—or totally over it? #NightShift
... read moreStrangest return you’ve seen?
Had a lady return a single used candle with no receipt, half-burned, and asked for cash. Said it gave her “the wrong kind of vibe.” Still thinking about it. What’s the weirdest return you’ve personally had to deal with? #Returns #StoryTime
