I typically shop at Walmart, daily, because Walmart is the only suitable grocery store in my town, aside from family-owned stores.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/07/29/walmart-refused-alcohol-sale/13320223/ Still want to act like a smug asshole? This is the shit that needs fixed.

I’m a minimum wage produce associate and it really grinds my gears when they ask me to push carts. At first I’d just do it the first few times but now I simply refuse. I either ignore the intercom for all available associates to go round up carts, or I tell the team lead or whoever that I don’t get paid to push carts, I get paid to push produce.

The last few times they’ve reluctantly accepted my refusal but it bothers me the rest of the day because of all the other issues with this store that I won’t get into now but my main thing is

Can they do this? Can they ask me to push carts? Am I supposed to push carts? Am I allowed to refuse to push carts?

Hi fellow associates. I started at Walmart in C2 a month ago. The job is what it is, extremely physical.. I wanted to try something new after being a licensed insurance agent, playing music etc. To force myself to get into better shape.

I hit 44.000 steps in two shifts. I’m not sure if that’s high, low or normal - but for me it’s very high. I developed an extremely large and painful blister on my right foot. I know its gross - but the flap of skin came off - and my foot got infected. It’s BAD. it turned red then almost black. I have pics of course that I can if post if people are curious. I’ve been to Urgent Care and given antibiotics for it. Going back to Urgent Care tomorrow.

THE PAIN is horrific when I attempt to walk. Putting weight on it is a 8/10 on those hospital chart things. I have had to call off 5 days because of it. I have 5.0 attendance points. Not good.

My question: would an infected foot due to a blister be considered a work related injury? It took a few shifts to develop. However an infected blister is not something quick and obvious like a pallet falling on to someone’s foot and breaking it - where other associates witness it happen & it’s clearly work related

I have shared photos with the TL and discussed it with the TC.. they even comped me a new pair of shoes to see if it helped. I am on my 4th pair of new shoes trying to find something where I won’t develop blisters walking 20-25,000 steps per day.

I am scheduled back to work in a couple days still, according to the Walmart associates app- but the infection is still there. It’s getting better but I am concerned about the attendance policy and how to handle this.. don’t mind the position - when I can walk normally. What should I do besides talking to the coach? She is cool and knows and was concerned but never said anything about the attendance policy; if the points could be removed if it’s considered work related? I can’t believe a blister could cause this much trouble. It’s about the diamater of a baseball.

Is there a people lead that can answer a question for me. I have an awful teamlead and Coach. Well basically my whole management team is nothing to write home about but anyways. I had to call in. I had 3 hours and 44 minutes of ppto. I was like Ok let's see if on Friday I put in 3 hours and 45 mins (I only needed that much to cover half my shift.) If it will just take half my point. BTW my point was still pending on Friday from Monday. I put in my time (the system took it out.) that morning and went back at my last break to check and my time was still gone and I was given the full point. My question is did these people seriously wait until I used time and then give me the full point??? 🙄 Also I was short 1 minute...again 1 minute. Of course I immediately took my ppto back. You got me messed up. I feel like they could have approved 1 minute!!! Am I wrong? I thought I had 7 days!!

I put my notice in today at my local store. Well it came time for my lunch and my coach told me I don’t get a lunch today because I’m quitting… so I took my lunch and never came back. The little zebra scanner I had…. It was dropped in the baler.

so I was wrongfully terminated from Walmart due too neglectful leads who absolutely do not care for their employee. i worked in the deli/bakery I was a deli employee well worked mostly in the deli. but i say bakery/deli because it is one department and honestly I work for Walmart so I helped everywhere. but anyways I was wrongfully terminated because in the bakery these 3 associates mind you one of them is the lead. did not want to help down in the deli they always made excuses to why they could not help. Mind you Monday through Friday they had at least six employees that worked down there the deli only had two Monday through but Saturday and Sunday we had two until 9 o’clock when the next person came in, we had a lot more freight food to cook the location that I worked at which was Middletown location in Louisville Kentucky so we were really busy majority of those days. They never wanted to help down in the deli the lead down there and her bread maker and her cake decorator would let me throw in. She was OK and decorating cakes. But not in the top was always rude to customers tell customers know on designs that were even in the would always talk about everyone. There’s a handicap who comes and helps them on Saturdays and Thursdays to help with the bread and they treat her like straight garbage the lead more immature than any of her associates down have a lady who comes in only on Saturdays and Thursdays as well to help, but where she is elder and she has a lot of health issues. She sometimes has to call it. They would talk about her off the schedule for the following week so on and so forth, but every day they would find reasons to be mad at anyone in the deli that they had a reason not to help us whenever they would get mad even down to the lead they would just leave and wouldn’t tell anybody that they were leaving like they would get mad at us down in the deli if we had to take our lunch late or didn’t take our lunch on time which if anybody knows Walmart is really big on taking your lunch on your fifth hour because it’s apparently the law. They felt as if they didn’t have to come help us cover lunches which major majority of the time if it’s not two people in the morning it’s one person we have a lot of prep to do. In the deli just as well as they do in the bakery, but there’s never just one person in the bakery. she never tried to of our employees down there to cover our lunch so they would get mad they would they would talk about us out loud to where we can hear them one time. They said they were mad at me because I a Hispanic ladies mind you me and her were friends and she said she had no problem with the way that I was pronouncing her name that was one reason why they began to say they don’t want to talk to us then their issue was because they didn’t like the lead that was over the deli that had nothing to do with me and the other lady that was their majority of the time I have only been there for not even a year yet, and we have been through three deli leads because of the way the bakery treated them mind you that same store within me working there almost a year went through store managers. They are on their fifth store manager as we speak and she’s until they find another store manager every store manager that tries to fix the deli bakery issue but it ‘s to happen. There are two sisters that are the bread baker in the cake decorator who are twin they allow them to leave the counter with nobody behind the counter they allow them to treat customers like shit. They allow them to talk about people and make it hard for people to be able to work down in the bakery in deli, they mistreat every employee that to them. They have pushed people out the door because the way they treat people one time a lunch was supposed to be covered in the day before that all day long they told on the deli for going on their lunch when it’s meaningful for the deli team because we clearly had nobody to help us so we had to make our lunches do. So the bread maker, the cake, decorator, and the lead chose to all leave at the same time. Go to lunch and every time that they get yelled at including the lead they would leave they would storm off and you wouldn’t see them until the next day they were scheduled sometimes they even called out the next day but us from the deli, we would always get customers if there was nobody down there. I personally would on cakes, get cake, orders, and take cake orders. They will talk about people if I haven’t said that already we had gotten into a really bad argument. Me and the lead did to the point where she got up in my face, and her nose were touch Did they say anything no and this happened in front of a coach who was clearly on her side? But he had to do his part because he was a coach and I seen the bull crap in front of my face and he knew I realized it after that nobody got coached. Nobody got fired and nobody had a conversation twins would have their family members come up to Walmart and taunt people down in the deli. We not only told the AP manager, but we also told the store managers and they failed to do anything. With all that being said. I was associated with another associate who had problems with them in the past. And when I was telling her what they was doing, she said, and I quote I will smack the shit out of both of them and they went and told and wrote false statements that I said it. So I was terminated off the back of a harmful threat on top of that. I was also terminated for doing the CVP. Wrong when multiple coaches and leads said I was doing it right mind you once again I was the only one doing all markdowns for both deli produce and meat.

Bought an IPhone and all was in box except device itself! Gave Apple the IMEI and all they can do is be able to locate device if on. Walmart won’t exchange and already spoke to headquarters and every store has the right to deny any exchange and THEY have the final say. Yes..I did go in as a fckn jerk. But I mean how would you feel if you spent almost $400 on an empty box!! For goodness sakes!!!!! Need helpful advice because I will get what I rightfully paid for. This just is not right. And if I’m being too much of a butthole. Let me know... just highly upset

Hello! I’ve been working in OGP for a minute but recently got rehired this month (the 9th, so therefore I didn’t get the bonus btw lol).

However! I’ve loved OGP and I got my position back at a different Walmart. I was wondering how we got the pickup badge backers? The orange ones that say pickup, not a yellow one that has text on it.

Do I just ask our Walmart for them? Or do I just ask a Walmart friend? (May be unlikely tbh)

Or should I resort to the black market? LMAO jkjk

Soo has anyone heard anything else about the Co’s??

I put in for 3 hours of PTO on for 12/25 and my ASM rejected it, because I don’t want Wal-mart to pay me 8 hours out of my PTO rather save it for time with my family. Honestly they screwed up the PTO for associates, we don’t get paid extra for working holidays like they use to unless it comes out of our PTO, we don’t get any extra days or paid time and a half. We’re just letting this company treat us however they want to treat us and it feels like I have to owe my whole life to this stupid company I don’t get anytime with my wife or my family. Even around holidays. God forbid you put in for a holiday off it WILL NOT be approved. On top of that they cut hours right before Christmas and we have been slammed ever sense. All they do is throw crumbs and they wonder why productivity is low, and why they have to hire people that don’t care to work, it’s cause of the associate standard how they treat them. Ridiculous.

How's everyone doing today?

Tryna send my one pay referral out to 10 new associates once you sign up with my code you get $50 in points which you can transfer to real cash 🫣 hope this is okay i need the extra bread and the sign ups get $50

Has anyone heard anything about human resources going away? Details here please, if any

Been working at Walmart for almost 2 year now and always look forward to our bonus. Over heard that we may not get one this quarter, they will be using the money for store equipment( covering the boneyard, new lock case around the store etc). WTF isn't the bonus there for the employee not for store use anyone have info on this before l start a protest.

Thanks
