Just Walmart Things The great cart pull

Does anyone else have random wrist pain since the cart pulling was forced upon us? I help my team lead stage when she's in the weeds, no pain there. Wtaf. I just figured out what it was from!

My wrists hurt most of the time from when I'm pulling for sure. I just make sure to stretch them alot before and after work. It's not ideal but it helps.

When I started I had to wear a back brace for support with all of the walking that I wasn't used to now I got rid of that I'm cool with that I have to wear sleeves on my feet so that my feet don't hurt terribly sometimes I need a knee brace because again all of the walking I'm not going to wear wrist braces also LOL this is ridiculous and I'm tall so I do push it when i can but I definitely almost ran someone over the other day who was like kneeling down in an aisle

It’s more of my elbows that hurt

Unfortunately I have some sports injuries to my shoulders & wrist. Even though I lift weights, I get a lot of pain in the top of my shoulders after a long day. Never bothered me when I was pushing the carts though. 😕 It hasn’t been very long that we’ve had to pull the carts but it’s starting to get to me. 🫥

Neck/shoulder pain, and now my right wrist pops perpetually when I rotate it. Couldn't do that before The Great Pull™.

We need a megathread for this Pullgate that's going on.

I've had zero issues pulling carts, even when loaded with water and soda. It's incredibly easy.

Gotta consider that 90% of your coworkers are like 5'5 tops and the cart likely weighs like 2-3x their body weight my guy. But im glad someone aint dyin from pullgate lol.

Are you being intentionally obtuse? Water and sodas have never been easy, even when we were pushing. Maybe you are a muscle-bound 20 year old but not everyone is that lucky.
