The long, slow death of our breakroom
Every Walmart associate knows the breakroom has its own set of problems, but ours is next level. The microwave is permanently stained with some ancient spaghetti sauce, the vending machines eat your money without even pretending to try, and the fridge looks like a science project.
The AC barely works, the chairs are either missing or cracked, and there’s always that one guy watching loud TikToks with no headphones. Today I went in for lunch and couldn’t even find a clean spot to sit. There were papers, random freight labels, and an empty pizza box from three days ago.
What’s worse is management talks about “improving associate spaces” but literally nothing has changed in the past year. We got a new water jug last summer and that was the big win. It’s funny, but also not. A better breakroom would actually make a huge difference. It’s where we reset. It’s where we survive the day. It deserves some respect.
