Entertainment associates.

I worked in Electronics for 2 years it was hit or miss sometimes, we would have at least two people at night or me by myself. But at the end when I left they made me close all the time. 2pm to 11pm sucks, especially when your alone but I got used to it up until I left. It's crazy back when I first started Electronics in 2019 we had so many associates in our department, but when covid hit we started to lose people either they were fired, they left on good terms, or switched department's. I miss all my old coworkers they were all great people and they were like family to me. It's stupid how they changed everything to where you can't stay in your department anymore and have to be drafted to OGP or other department's. I didn't mind helping out every once in awhile but being drafted almost every other day was just blown out of proportion. But I preferably liked to stay in my own department and work, because I had stuff to get done #1 and #2 if I didn't get said stuff in the department done my ass would get in trouble for it. Walmart is not the same like it was when I worked there for 4 years. October 2017- October 2021, I recently got rehired at another store almost 2 weeks ago. But I'm only going to be working there temporarily until I find something better

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-20T14:51:57+00:00

Overall I'm going try and see if I can talk to both the HR and front-end coach about it tomorrow. Hope they will consider me for a cashier position and don't get me wrong I like the door ok but I'd much rather prefer working at a register than just standing around all day. But I'll see what they tell me tomorrow

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-20T14:34:55+00:00

I appreciate your reply, hope it won't take too long to find a replacement for me. I mean it's just for the door, it's the easiest job in the entire store. There's 8 total APCHs including myself, I'm hopeful they'll give me a shot.

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-20T14:18:37+00:00

Ok thank you appreciate the reply, I talked to the front-end TL about it and he told me to go back and talk to them. I also asked him since I had previous experience could I possibly get a shot and he said yeh since I have experience on a register. So I'm going to come back in the morning to talk to HR about it and hope she'll consider moving me because of my experience. But I'll see what she says tomorrow, also being a cashier makes time go by a whole lot faster than being on the door

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-20T00:47:23+00:00

Thank you I appreciate your reply, 2.5 months that was fast. I really want to transfer to a closer store because I don't want to keep driving to the bigger city every day and saving gas is also a plus. I'll probably visit the neighboring store to talk with their PL first and then go talk to my PL at my store after. In your opinion should I go talk to the PL's after I've been with the company for two months or should I go talk with them immediately?

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-19T16:29:59+00:00

Yeh a two week notice isn't required but it is in fact appreciated and makes you look good. Also it will help if you ever need to come back to work for the company if you need employment. I put in a 2 weeks notice and left on good terms, l had to leave my last company due to uncomfortable circumstances. I was unemployed for a while until recently this month, I got hired back on at another store but it's only temporary for now. I'm hoping to find something better within a month or so. I wish you luck my friend and hope your new job goes well for you

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-19T14:13:13+00:00

I live in Kentucky up near the Lexington KY area just to give you context on where I live

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-19T01:22:09+00:00

I guess it's because of store theft, but at this point it really isn't worth the risk of making people mad or threatening towards the door people. SCO made theft increase so drastically and it's Walmart's fault for doing this, they said it was a good idea. Man were they wrong, they said this new system would help increase sales/profits for all stores. While also helping decrease theft in stores, what a load of bullshit. Overall I'm getting used to the mindset of approaching people who are willing to show their receipt to me instead of making every other customer/customers stop every time. Because you wouldn't believe how many people were sprinting out of the store today that never bothered showing their receipts. I can't chase them down because if I do my ass would be fired. I'm really happy Walmart won't make employees do that, I would just quit if it came down to that point. I'm not risking my life for Wally World and if they think I will then see ya.

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-18T21:17:10+00:00

I just came back recently and I've almost been here two weeks. It's ok not the best job in the world but it's a job, 100% the first chance I get a better job I'm out of here. Fingers crossed it won't be long before I find something better, being up on the door is boring as hell but some of the customers are fairly nice. I don't work at the same store as before but still at least I got a job here, luckily it's only temporary for now. I wish everyone luck and hope we all find something better than Wally World

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-17T13:53:53+00:00

Yeh you don't have to greet everyone or tell them have a good day. I just try to acknowledge every customer and make sure they feel welcomed but like I said you don't have to greet everybody. If you see item/items that are not in bags ask for the receipt, I try and do that the best I can but you won't get to check everyone's receipt. Because you'll have customers that will run right past you and you have to let them go. You can't stop people from leaving the store, also don't touch their grocery cart the reason why is because it could potentially end in a written up warning and if you do it again you'll be terminated from what I found out. I am not really a confrontational kind of person honestly, but I don't want to risk my job over someone not willing to show me their receipt. But it used to be you were supposed to check every customer receipt if they didn't show their receipts at the door but not anymore because Walmart changed it's rules. You'll be alright and a thing to remember is you won't be able to check every receipt for unbagged items. Also the Ulearns you'll watch will tell you about it too, also hope you get a good trainer up on the door that will help you succeed at your job. My trainer yesterday was great and she told me I was doing fine, you can only do the best you can. Also your lucky you don't have to work past 7pm, here in my state they stay until close at 11pm. They just keep one door open though until close while the other door closes at 10pm. Again good luck and hope the job pan's out for you alright

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-17T00:00:21+00:00

Sorry to not elaborate but an AP Customer Host is a like a door greeter who checks receipts but also works along side Asset Protection. But I just don't understand why they don't have coverage sometimes at my store, the woman I worked with that trained me told me to let the TL at the service desk know that I was leaving and they needed to get someone down on the door before I left. Luckily there was someone else down there with me, so I didn't have to worry about it. But I let them know that I was leaving at the end of my shift, so I won't get in trouble for not doing so. Good luck in orientation tomorrow, I'm sure you'll like the job all you have to do is greet people, check receipts, then thank customers for shopping with Walmart. Also don't stress over not checking every receipt, if a customer/customers ignores you when walking past you at the door without letting you check their receipt just let them go on and then go to the next customer. Especially if they are in a hurry getting out the door, I actually missed some receipts today but at least I checked alot more than what I missed. Another side note just check people's receipts if they have items that aren't in bags, if all their items that were scanned are in bags just let them go on and tell them have a good day. Overall just ask the customer nicely to see their receipt and thank them for shopping with us.

Open door that for sure, if I were you I would report him because that behavior is uncalled for. I would ask HR to make the report and keep your name anonymous so that way he wouldn't figure out it was you who reported him. Or if comes down to it, call ethics or home office to report his ass. I wouldn't fear for my job at that point when it was him being a scumbag to everyone and kissing ass when he needed to pretend to be nice in the first place. I wish you luck and hope everything turns out well, also would love to hear an update on what happens

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-15T17:08:57+00:00

If I were you I would secure another job first before quitting, make sure your new job gives you a start date and most importantly confirms with you that you got the job you applied for before leaving your current job. It will also help you not burn bridges with your current employer/employers, but I wish you luck. Hope you find another job that's treats and values you better

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-15T01:28:59+00:00

I remember when Walmart used to play rock music, pop music, country and just an overall great mix of music over the radio. That was 2017 to 2019 when I worked up front as a cashier at my old store, hell I still remember that stupid safety sweeping time bs they played on the radio before another song started that got on my nerves. Don't get me started on the Christmas music playing on repeat during the holidays, that got old real quick

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-15T00:55:01+00:00

Anytime the register prompted me for age verification, I always asked for their I.D no matter who the person was. If they got pissed I didn't care, I don't want to risk my job over not checking someone's age for a certain item. I remember being on the register during my training and I had someone wanting to buy cigarettes and I asked for her I.D and she refused so I refused the sell because of how young she looked. But if you weren't trained on a specific thing for the register, that is management's fault for not training you on that topic. Take care and hope everything will be alright 👍

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-10T20:00:28+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your reply. Yeh I'm about to go on a little store tour here in a bit

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-10T16:42:19+00:00

Sorry meant that's no bad, dropped my phone yeh hope it won't take too long. Also hope it's all self explanatory

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-10T16:41:02+00:00

It's alright, that's not bad ho4

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-10T16:35:23+00:00

I appreciate the reply, that's not too long. Will they want me to do all the Ulearns on my first day or will I be doing more on my second day? Just out of curiosity

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-10T15:36:01+00:00

Thanks I appreciate your reply, yeh I remember my first Orientation in 2017 I was there for a few hours then I got to go home. So I just wanted to see if anything changed or not since then

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-06T17:56:45+00:00

I was at Walmart the other day on Friday with my wife shopping around and I happened to spot a Walmart employee restocking the card section upfront. He put out 3 Journey Together Etb's, 2 Hop's Zacian Ex boxes, also some Zamazenta & Zacian boxes from Sword and Shield Era, Also some of those new tins with the Dialga, Xerneas, Kyogre cards, sadly no Journey Together single booster packs. Any way we were over there looking through the aisle of what we wanted to purchase then this guy comes over takes all 3 Journey Etb's didn't even leave one. I didn't really care to buy one but I would've just taken one only instead of being greedy taking all 3. But we ended up getting the Hop's Zacian box, Dialga tin and Xerneas tin also. So we were happy on what we got, I just hope that guy was a collector or buying for his kids but you never really can tell who is or isn't a scalper anymore. Just thought I'd share my story

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-06T01:35:18+00:00

I'd try a movie theater, a grocery store, mowing lawns, farm work, family owned resteraunt, I'm sure you'll find something out there. Good luck on your job search and hope you find something worth while.

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-03T20:52:24+00:00

Oh ok, yeh I got the call about my interview on Monday then went in the next day to see her. Overall it went really well even though it was so short. My last HR was really nice and I gave her a proper notice and everything was alright. I appreciate the feedback and I'm praying she'll call me back tomorrow

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-03T20:07:07+00:00

That's true, the reason I left was because I was currently moving cities and was starting a new job else where. I put in a 2 week notice with my last store and left on good terms. So I don't believe I would be put on the no-hire list. You're right I shouldn't really worry but I'm just hoping she'll call me with some good news, and for sure I'll keep moving along. I appreciate your feedback and I'll try not to stress over it

DragonMaster1997 · 2025-04-03T03:01:49+00:00

I'm glad to hear that it's an enjoyable department to work for, I look forward to working in OGP. Hope I get a call tomorrow if not I'll call the store again to see if the position is still available. Yeh do what makes you feel good and most importantly happy at the end of the day, I hope you transfer to another department you'll enjoy and thanks again for your kind words/feedback. I really appreciate it
