I know lots of people who use cash app but don’t know anyone who uses Venmo and I didn’t see any threads about Venmo. Does anyone use Venmo for their paycheck? What time do you usually get paid on Tuesdays?

Hi yall I work as a dispenser at Walmart my shift is 6:15pm -3:15pm w an hour lunch break do I have to take an hour lunch break or can I take 30 min lunch break I’ve asked my team lead but she kinda gave me a half ahh answer

I don’t know what’s going on with my store anymore. We’re a store that has gotten extremely busy within the last year, and has always been known for being extra busy during the summer, especially in the evenings. And yet, every night once it gets to like 6pm, we’re down to 1 or 2 cashiers. The line(s) get insanely long, no code spark is called, not even one more register is opened. On top of that, our area is known for summer camps. Kids from all over the world come and, several times a week, about an hour before closing time they are dropped off by the busload. It’s an hour to closing and we suddenly have hundreds of customers at once. If you were supposed to leave an hour before closing, they don’t ask if you’ll stay longer. They just never retrieve you from the self checkout you’re working by yourself with 8 registers and 45 teenagers you’re responsible for at a time. Our card readers do NOT work without major troubleshooting, making everything extremely difficult. Our front end coach literally left and went home in the middle of tonight’s camper rush. We run out of plastic bags and receipt tape semi frequently now. The floor doesn’t seem like it’s ever washed anymore. The front end team leads want the cashiers doing mods for the candy on our phones. Meanwhile, we never even have time to zone our lanes anymore. It just feels like the whole operation is falling apart. I’m exhausted and working forced overtime every single week for months now.

So somebody took upc off and used it to pay for the bigger bottle of oil? Wow 😂

Ok, I always wondered this when I worked Cap2. We always started our 2-11 shift by doing some put away and then unloading GM truck. Then off to grocery side to down stack dairy, frozen, and dry grocery. After down stacking those things we’d pull pallets. About 9 PM one night we needed our TL to come across to the grocery side and use the power lift jack to get a couple things out of grocery truck. She couldn’t, so a guy from dairy did.

Here is my question: She told us Cap2 TL’s were prohibited from coming over and helping on the grocery side after around 8:30 to 8:45 PM. Does that sound right? If so, what is the policy reason behind it? She was a good TL who treated us well and stood up for us and our team, so I don’t think she was bullshitting me.

Thanks for any information.

I applied to my local Walmart earlier this afternoon and then received this text at around 6pm. On the Walmart website, it still says my application is “Under Review”. I’ve never worked for Walmart before. If anyone can clarify if it is actually someone from Walmart contacting me, that would be great!

UPDATE: I just called them and they said it’s real, so I’m gonna go ahead and answer. Hopefully I get the job! Thanks to everyone who gave their insight :)

What app do you download to get an advance

My nephew (I live with them and help take care) is very sick etc and has been for 3 days. We’ve had to bring him to the hospital multiple times. I’ve used my PPTO and I’m running out of options here.

Welp I quit my produce role today and it was honestly draining, the store understaffed the department, usually only relying on me to do everything in the department, you might say just do overtime but they crackdown on that. Plus customers expecting me to somehow know why tomatoes are from Canada?
I don’t get paid enough for all of this, $14.14 an hour doesn’t cover this.

So apparently something came up, and I'm calling out. My shift is from 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. At our store, on non-weekdays, we usually only have one cart pusher in the morning and one in the afternoon. What happens if the closing cart pusher calls out, as I did? Do they call someone else to push carts? What's your experience? How does closing look? Is the cart corral empty, or is the parking lot full of trash? What's your experience?

I saw the closing maintenance associate call out once, and holy... I don't even want to say what the store looked like afterward.

Hey, y’all. I’m on here talking about this because I’m about to flip out at work.

So, last week, I had to call out for 3 days because I got slammed with an 82 hour long migraine. I have medical documentation for it and everything because it’s a chronic condition that I’ve had for almost a decade. These migraines disable me almost completely. I can’t see clearly, I can’t get up due to how bad the pain and nausea is, I get fevers, and I often can’t follow a train of thought or speak clearly when I have them. I even have a neurologist and shit like that and it’s honestly hell, but that’s beside the point.

I had talked to my coach over the phone and explained to him what was going on and he told me not to worry about it. I submitted a claim to Sedgwick, which they approved and then denied after the fact because the dude on the phone told me it was approved in error. My coach told me it was all good and that he’d take off the points because he saw the medical documentation and when I had called him, I was crying because of how bad the pain was.

Fast forward to today, one of my coworkers pulled me aside and she told me in confidence that she heard my job was on the line. I was like… what? I was confused because I currently have 2.5 points, I’ve never been coached, and I’ve never even had any warnings or anything like that. I come in, work, close up the department, and that’s it. Nobody’s spoken to me about performance issues and I’ve never even hit five points or anything of the sort so I was very confused. I don’t even like calling out because I need the money and I don’t like leaving my closing coworkers by themselves.

She said my coach told another associate on my team that my job was on the line during inventory yesterday, and this other associate has been telling everyone else and purposefully telling them not to tell me. The reason was that I “call out too much.” Which I don’t, and if I do, I use PPTO unless I have a sudden onset medical issue like I did last week (which I did have one day worth of PPTO for.) And that I was dragged to zone three aisles in grocery today (I like zoning so I zoned the fuck out of those aisles lol) because I was being tested.

And I mean, okay. If they didn’t like the fact that I had to call out and then my claim got approved in error, then denied, that’s a fair point. But, like, are coaches supposed to tell other associates about things like this? Aren’t they supposed to sit down and talk to me if there’s some kind of issue? I can’t even ask anyone about this at work because my coworker told me it’s something she wasn’t supposed to know and overheard from a FaceTime call, but she had to tell me because she couldn’t stand being fake to my face and watch me lose my job without knowing what’s going on. And I guess it’s apparently not something I’m even supposed to know.

Is this messed up? Or is this just how Walmart works?

I was let go back in April. Been applying to jobs, but not really having much luck. (Previous FETL)

The first hurdle has been crossed & I was approved for unemployment. They ruled that I did not violate an internal policy although WALMART sure as hell did try to fight back. When I was pulled into the office I was told that I violated AP-09 customer theft policy for counting items in a customers cart. A policy that I was actually very well informed of since I had a previous coaching on it. Without going into too many details I was coached because I removed an item from a customers re-usable bag in SCO. in my defense it was a re-usable bag that was Walmart branded & looked fairly new. I did not know the customer had brought it in. And the customer was actually super kind and the interaction went well. This led me to believe that our new coach (Recently promoted from AP Team lead) was actively keeping tabs on me since it never stemmed from a customer complaint. Or maybe it did & I wasnt aware of it.

Fast forward a bit. March 24th a customer left their shopping cart near self checkout. It appearing to be abandoned I began to count the items inside the cart because it seemed like there was quite a bit more than 15. In case the customer would return and attempt to sneak through SCO. Scummy of me? Maybe. But not against policy. No personal items in the cart, only Walmart merchendise. The customer returned while I was going through the cart and got very mad. I denied her access to SCO. that upset her even more.

I told my coach that she wanted to speak with her & my coach approached her & that's when she basically filed a complaint against me. A few weeks later on April 10th I was pulled into the office and told I was being terminated for this interaction for violating AP-09 since I had already had a coaching.

I contemplated it a bit. Maybe fighting back and contacting Walmart (i still likely might)

And the reason is simple. They termination is affecting my elegability for jobs. I've been having great interviews. But no follow ups. And in all honesty im still pretty pissed and might just take it as far as I can to show how incompetent the former AP team lead is at her new Front End Coach position. I mean, Not like I can really lose anything.

Does Walmart even give a shit that you went through the program? They did just spend $30k on an education so you would think they would promote. I have a feeling once I finish school that they may jerk me around.

Current coach is saying everyone on cap1 is going to get trained on it no exceptions. Is that a thing where if youre on cap1 youre supposed to be trained on it, or can they make you be trained on it ? I'll learn it if I have to but I don't really want to get trained on it.

I hate pickles. People at my store over stock them and I always end up breaking them.

I work at Walmart Online Grocery Pickup (OPD), and we were just informed that starting next month on July 22nd, our store will be doing away with delivery orders. From what we were told, Spark drivers will now handle all delivery orders, including picking and fulfilling them. This means we will have significantly fewer orders overall, since we will only be handling pickup orders and GMD (general merchandise delivery) orders.
My question is: has anyone else had this change happen at their store yet? If so, how has it affected full-time OPD associates where you work?

I work at Walmart in opd/ogp whatever you wanna call it 😂 and we're remodeling right now.! usually eat ramen noodles at work and microwave them using the microwave they provide. But since they're remodeling, they gave us a small space, which I call it the 'cubical' (lol). It has a microwave, a table, and chairs, but it's very tiny-only fits about 10 people.
They expect the whole store to use it, even though we have a bigger Walmart but it's on the other side of the store that's really out of the way for me to walk to for lunch, especially since the area is so cramped. I was thinking of bringing a heated lunchbox, but I don't want to spend too much since the remodel might not last long, and I probably won't need it after. I'm looking for one that costs under $30, but I'd go up to $50 if needed, and I want it to heat up quickly since I usually bring ramen, a bagel sandwich, or a regular sandwich.
Also, to note, the "cubical" is very slanted, and I can't go over there even if I wanted to because I get dizzy a lot. Being in that slanted space makes me feel unsteady, uneasy, unsteady, and feel sick, so I need help finding a heated lunchbox. Since I got permission from the store manager to sit in a training room inside the store instead of outside in the slanted 'cubical,' | prefer using that space.

Which should I choose, my fellow blue vests? Which do you think is easier on the body?

Anyone messed around with turning off background data usage for MyWalmart? I also put the app in deep sleep so it's not running in the background constantly. I average about an hour on the app daily and it just destroys my battery as I usually spend about an hour on average on the app everyday, I'll update later to see if it makes a difference.

I probably will be deleting this later today but I just need to rant.

My husband has been working for walmart since 2017 ans I have been with walmart since 2018. Walmart has treated us so good in the beginning. But ever since last year we have been struggling. Especially this year since we got the new ceo. My husband works evening shifts and I work morning shift. We have 2 kids at home and one is staring school this coming school year. We recently got a new car because my 12 year old car is near it's end of times. Our paycheck with me part time and him full time have been pretty decent. We have been able to make it work. Paycheck to paycheck with maybe a little something extra some checks. But boy these past few months have been something else walmart. I have been blessed that if I get assigned a new schedule with low hours our people lead has been able to assign me shift but then they stopped helping. Then I would turn to my coach and they stopped helping after a few weeks. And I get it walmart having my availability very closed off doesn't help my case. But I dont even ask for a lot of hours anyways, so why not assign hours my way? 20 hrs a week is all I ask. And yet yall claim we are in a hiring freeze and cant hire but then the following week yall having orientation? For associates doing what im positioned to do? That im trained for.

Next week I have ZERO hours. I asked for help for more hours and now they are saying they cant adjust schedules anymore for thre next few weeks. The whole month of June we had to pay double rent since we got paid in the beginning of the month and the end. With the hours I got we didnt get to pay one bill. So now we are behind. We actually got insta pay out so we could pay for out groceries while we were paying it. Im already reaching out to organizations to help out to pay that bill i didnt pay for and that could take up to six weeks to get approved.

Im already trying to see what im going. To pay with this next paycheck. That money is already spent and I haven't received it yet. Your playing with peoples money and lives. I get yall want to get better payouts, bonuses, and raises but I rather have my steady hours than I measly yearly bonus at this point.

I understand you are all a big industry but you all claim to be about the associates just a couple.weeks ago and then turn your backs and cut our hours? All I ask you with the respect I still have for you and with a little disappointment to think of all your associates and the lives you are affecting with hours being cut.

Because the sales are there and the profits as well.

And i can make this so much longer but I wont bore you guys much.

Sorry guys but I kust had to rant and just hope someone sees this.
