Electronics
Explained 5G, HDMI, and Bluetooth to 10 different people today. I deserve a Nobel Prize in Retail Communication.
I hate cats now
Unloaded a truck while three pallets fell over, one of them full of cat litter. My back will remember this.
Life of the maintenance guy
Mopped the same spill 4 times today because people kept walking through it. I should start charging by the footprint.
Vegan Turkey?
Someone asked if we had vegan turkey. In the meat department. I’m just gonna let that one breathe.
Can customers do better pls thhank you
Customer showed up 30 minutes early, refused to check in, then got mad they had to wait. I pick orders, not read minds. Please just use the app.
The Observant One
Watched a toddler scan a pack of gum like it was a full-time job. Took five minutes, but honestly? That was the highlight of my day. Little dude's focus was inspiring.
Favoritism
Why does Walmart management always make decisions based on favoritism and not merit?

Assistant Manager
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?

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!!!
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 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 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 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 take Apple Pay?
Had a guy try to use his iPhone today and ask, “Does Walmart take Apple Pay?” Nope we still don’t. I always feel a little awkward explaining it to people, especially when they’re already at the register. Do you think we’ll ever switch over?
... read moreWhat time does Walmart close?
Hey team, just curious what time does your store close? Ours used to be 11 PM but recently got bumped to 10. Some customers still show up late like nothing’s changed. I get it's confusing, but man, that last hour used to be chaos. Has anyone else seen their store hours shift recently?
... read moreFocus on the positives
Said “Welcome to Walmart!” about 400 times today. Got ignored 395 of those. The five that smiled back made my shift though.
Born a leader I guess
Trying to run a truck, cover for three people who called out, and answer 50 walkies at once while pretending I’m not on the verge of quitting. Leadership at it's finest baby 🤘
