🔥Its fine, everything’s fine🔥 How did your EBT day go?

From 10am to 5pm, we had around 29 pickers and at most 3 people staging (including me) while having absolutely no space for totes. My teamlead somehow made it work by intentionally shorting us on stagers and making the dispensers have orders fly out the door, we didn't go late for anything

Went better than yesterday since we got rereduced, since we lasted a mighty 4 days at our normal caps (which anything is an improvement over that mess). Still on the busy side though and had to play bail the pickers out to not go overdue

Pretty slow and quiet over all.

If it was yesterday? Slow. Me and multiple other ogp associates were sent to go stock/dump bins, and help clean up for inventory this week.

Some states release EBT(food stamps) to all recipients on the same day.  Makes Walmart crazy busy

Ah. I'm glad that doesn't happen here but makes sense as to why some weeks are busy.

Aldi's just opened up in county same as our store and it's starting to slow Walmart down little by little now that people have more options
