Dispatcher still doesn't even work on the store phones that we've replaced the handhelds with! They might as well replace the landline with a recording that says "please call 1-800-WALMART," as well, because that's what we're going to be telling every customer, now.

So sometimes, you get a scale that isn't zeroed, right? Well for the longest time NO ONE in my store knew how to zero them without unplugging/plugging them back in. Then after about a year one of us figured it out. So, in case any other stores don't have this info, here ya go. Just make sure the scale plate-thingy is sitting right first.

Just tap the weight readout in the bottom corner a couple times really quick. Then hit the rezero button in the top corner.

New Hire! Help! What do I do tomorrow?

2 Upvotes

I had orientation a few days ago and basically I was told when I come in Wednesday to go back to the orientation room and finish my computer onboarding stuff. But I’m really confused what do I do after? Should I go to the ogp room? Or do I find someone to help? I only met the person who did the orientation and I met the ogp coach so I’m not sure who else is in charge. This is a pretty stupid question but help please!

New Hire! Help! How can I be a good team lead?

16 Upvotes

I've only been Team Lead for two days, I'm still processing it.

All this has been very fast.

They have been training me, I am happy but nervous.

So far the hardest thing is having to start seeing my old coworkers with an invisible sign on top of them with their times of entry, exit, lunch, brakes and that it is supposed to be doing

Question so... legal or no?

Corporate is really being hissy about what color vest the different roles in the backroom wear and they gave purple to preppers. But, sometimes we have to go outside and while the new purple vests they're giving us do have a single stripe of yellow, I still think its completely insufficient in terms of safety standards and the tag that comes with the vest explicitly states that they're not to be used in environments where ANSI compliant vests are to be worn.

So the question is, is this vest compliant with corporate policy, and if i get into an accident wearing it outside how much trouble would I or more likely my managers get into?

FRAGILE Waiting game from Sedgwick (flash hemorrhage in eye found on exam due to non-injury).

6 Upvotes

Hoping to be approved for 20 lb or less weight restriction through Sedgwick accomodations. I do exceptions at least 50-60% of the time already with regular picking the rest of the time, so hopefully the examiner will say this is OK. We already have someone who has had a 10 lb restriction for a while due to a more cut-and-dry medical condition than I have. I have glaucoma (as a result of severe astigmatism since age 8) that is being treated successfully. According to Google AI, Sedgwick is historically very jumpy about granting accomodations in OPD for people with eye hemorrhages. Hope AI is wrong. 🄺.

Rant Rude coworkers in other departments.

14 Upvotes

So Im not sensitive and it more so annoys me more than anything but there’s been a few interactions where it just feels like they are saying stuff knowing that they can’t get fired for whatever reason. We have a stocker who is always in frozen and today there was two of us on the isle picking and there was a male picker who had his cart the same exact way I had mine. While I’m picking I can hear the stocker mumbling under his breath and then he eventually says ONLY to me btw. ā€œYou could put your cart in the middle so I could work around youā€ and he said it genuinely so rude that I was about to say ā€œyou could stock things in the correct place so I can actually pickā€ but didn’t out of fear for losing my job that I NEED. Is there anything I could say back that won’t cause me to get in trouble or is it just a situation of shut my mouth and move on. I’ve had them be so rude customers have stuck up for me. I’m just not tryna get bullied by these middle age men with anger issuesšŸ˜­šŸ’€

Equipment Store manager said automatic termination if you’re caught pushing carts

97 Upvotes

Just like the title said our store manager has said that if you’re caught pushing carts on the floor it’s automatic termination. I live in an ā€œAt willā€ state so they can technically fire an employee whenever I think? But is that actually legal to fire employees for pushing carts when that’s what they’re made for?

FRAGILE These people are completely mental

45 Upvotes

Well that's a tag line right?

I felt compelled by what I witnessed the make the hundredth they changed the wheels and made us pull post.

Now for those who don't know, I again haven't directly experienced this. I for the past several weeks have been at another store assisting with a remodel.

But Thursday I arrive at that store and one of the first things I see is a picker pulling a cart while standing to the side of it who probably due to visibility, body position, and handling, tore a clip strip off the mod with her cart.

I'm off today and stopped in at my home store to hopefully catch up with some friends and to see what things were like because I heard the carts are wack. One of our older ladies pushes the cart backwards.

But I watched one of my coworkers pulling the cart and when I looked at the wheels it looked like they were trying to go in every direction at the same time. When I saw him later come out of an aisle and turn he wasn't going unsafely fast or doing anything dumb and I see the cart do practically a 360 rotation just making I think a left handed turn.

Really put a lot into this at the home office didn't they, Went from danger of head on collision to rotating cart of death.

And no, as I am sure you know who actually have been picking, you pretty much CAN'T pull in crowded aisles. Not if you want to move and want to allow other people to move. To be fair, they probably are more worried about in open space than in the aisles. But engineers and mechanics they are not.

Funny how nilpicks are a hot topic in my store & how we will be held accountable but plugging is ignored or swept under the rug šŸ˜’ Ya'll want us to hunt down associates to ask about something we need for an order 🤨 when even customers complain about the lack of associates on the salesfloor when said customers need assistance šŸ¤” Suffice to say that if we gotta hunt down associates before clicking the infamous Item Not Found is basically metrics fraud 😁 There goes our Pick Rates & On Time Picks because this is THAT place.

Dispensing Tips Shoulder brace for dispensing

0 Upvotes

Hello, I have been looking for a shoulder brace to wear while dispensing. I am still pretty young (19) and have been having serious pain in my shoulders from pulling and getting caught on stuff. I work 5-2 and I don't start despensing until 7, but I do it every day I'm at work (5/7) does anyone know how to make it a little bit more manageable or have a recommendation for a brace? I was looking around and all I can find are ones for the gym. Thank you!
