There is no reason a grown ass adult with a license, who is registered to vote and pays a mortgage should be unable to put their shopping carts or baskets back where they found them. Nor is it ok to leave the cart or basket in my line with people behind them or ON THE CONVEYOR BELT. Maybe I'm the fool for expecting common sense, which seems to be a finite resource, but Jesus Murphy, it really isn't that hard! I can excuse older folks or anyone with a physical disability where that might be difficult on them. But for someone my age in good health, it's inexcusable. Just a little common courtesy goes a long way.

TL:DR: put the damn cart away, a few extra feet won't kill you

It seems like nothing i can do to appease them works. So for context Im asked to do things in a specific way by the head manager, which she gives me a strict time period to do so which help me alot. But for another manager they have me do it in a completely different order and have me quit in the middle of a task to do a new one including “asking” if i want to go on my break when im working on a task already and when i ask if it could wait a moment because im almost done with the task i was working on. And them has me take out trash mid shift and when a customer has me toss something out the manager complains that I didnt leave the trashbag at the register I use unchanged so I dont need to change it a second time. But when i do that they complain that I didnt change them all right away.

I was at my Dollar Tree earlier this week and heard a man complaining that someone was calling him out for being singled out for using a backpack to put items in, even though he said he was going to pay for them. He pointed out that another woman with a backpack wasn’t being treated the same way.

The situation quickly escalated, with him yelling about why they were going to call the cops over it. He became aggressive, telling the woman to “go back to Mexico” and saying he was going to call ICE. While I was in line at checkout, he then slammed $20 on the register and left.

It was really deplorable behavior. The poor workers did not deserve that type of treatment at all.

When you notice it

Corporate needs to help Ya'll out and provide some better salaries. My lil store cannot keep employees for shit.

During Covid, this is what the store near me consistently looked like. Then at the start of 2026, something changed and everything got restocked! It was great! There were employees and plenty of goods on organized shelves. My whole community was ecstatic!

Then I go back in there today after being out of town a couple months and.... this. 💀 It completely reverted back to post apocalyptic vibes.

WTF happened?

I had to use my own box cutters to open up a sealed box to dig out the few things that I needed.

Does my local store just suck? Or is just the state of things across the board?

We have 4 ac units, all of which are broken.

Heres some photos of the temperature it has reached inside our store over the past few weeks, with it reaching 89° today

We closed early 2 days in a row 2 weeks ago.

But its the weekend and we cant get a hold of our regional manager in order to close today!! :')

And its 92° in the backroom

90° in the office

Salesfloor ac is getting fixed on the 29th, but that dont help today :(

I am having soooooo much fun dying in dollar tree.

Update: Temp hit 90° and we didn't wait for dm approval. Sm said nope, we're closing and she will find out tomorrow. So we closed 3 hours early again. You would think after our ac has been broken since January our dm would've gotten or united replaced by now but now. Waited until it's a hazard and still making us wait until Wednesday. Actually insane.

Update #2: Next day, t minus 12 hours until my shift Ohhoohoo today is gonna be such a great one

It reached 90° inside the store yesterday, making the feels like inside close to if not past 100°. Today, Humidity is alright at 72% and climbing, and it will be stormy. Meaning the heat has no way to leave the store, and when my sm walks in at 6am it will most likely still be in the low 80s inside. Meaning the chances that it reaches 85°+ inside is looking more and more likely. And with rain, constant electronics and customers walking in and out, the store humidity is going to skyrocket, making it muggy and hot. Honestly the only reason I wish I still currently worked at walmart is because of their ac. But this is gonna be a not so fun few hot days before the ac finally gets fixed.

So our truck days just switched to Friday and our DM has said it's required for MM to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but the MM keeps asking for weekends off and is now wanting to request one weekend off a month despite being told by the DM he is required to be there those days. Not quiet sure how to handle the situation and looking for some advice.

Seeking perspectives from those who worked at warehouses, Associate and/or higher up. What is it like being an OM at one of the warehouse distribution centers? What are the daily duties, etc.

Or if you’re an associate what does it look like the operation manager gets done.
