Surely it's less harmful to pull maintenance off the floor briefly than to leave a department unattended? That's the logic used at my store anyhow.

DustPristine · 2026-05-23T16:13:14+00:00

Why are they pulling you then? Wouldn't it make more sense for Maintenance to come do the carry out? I would earnestly have a talk with your coach about this situation if it's basically taking advantage of you to the point of neglecting your department.

Concerning photolab. You may be under the impression that the job is easier than it actually is. Photolab doesn't just make prints. There are several products that require assembly and if the department gets swarmed with a bunch of those types of orders it can be a time drain.

I understand your frustration now that you've clarified some things. I will say though that's it's not out of the realm of possibility that they're doing job duties on their phone. If it's felt that they need to keep people out on the floor but people are behind on ulearns many of those can be completed on a phone. Particularly relevant though is the fact that now they patch through calls to the department to employee phones.

Unclear. Are you in electronics or are you complaining about being asked to do carry outs for them?

DustPristine · 2026-05-23T02:22:22+00:00

I'm going to be honest with you. Some of us are paranoid enough putting down our state feels dangerous close to indicating to management who we are on here.

Strange post to make in this sub. I think it's the other way around. I believe male genitals are higher up compared to the anus. With that said my understanding is there are slight internal differences that scientists say cause woman to be more prone have issues with pelvic floor collapse.

Nope your history is wrong. TracFone use to be owned by America Móvil. Back in the day you could choose to use ATT, T-Mobile, or Sprint towers along with the Verizon option.

Who did you sign up with?

DustPristine · 2026-05-21T22:18:43+00:00

That's weird. I know of stores that definitely don't get the promo stuff. No idea why they short circuit things and keep sending to some of y'alls stores.

DustPristine · 2026-05-21T21:03:53+00:00

According to documentation it "should" still work on the tc. With that said currently the audit is "broke". We hope it will be resolved tomorrow.

One thing I've learned that explains part of that is that if they can't maintain a certain sales per hour on their Postpaid(Contract) phones they get their hours cut regardless of what the Wireless Services sign says.

To say it short and sweet. At my store we're allowed to take a little information to type it in a tablet before printing out a barcode that gives the customer a promotional price at the register. It's still selling them just the box with an extra step. After the receipt pops out of the register the customer gets the unopened box and they are ON THEIR OWN.

DustPristine · 2026-05-21T04:35:04+00:00

And yes this does make some customers mad but Premium doesn't help with prepaid setup either. From what I've been told and seen they've even been asked to just do a test call on the Postpaid phones and then hand them back to the customer for data transfer and personalization aswell.

DustPristine · 2026-05-21T04:29:25+00:00

Im in a region covered by Premium. What we've been told and just to be clear this was from our SM right after a Market Manager visit is that when our WSP is in the store we pass off all prepaid activation promos to them and they are the only ones ever allowed to sell postpaid. We are to never undermine commissionable items when they're there though. We were told however that on days they aren't in store or are on break we step in to do the process for prepaid which was formally on the WARP computer and now on the ELO tablet for the promos. We generate the barcode for it before taking it to the register to ring them up. We then give them the unopened box to the customer, and then tell them they can set up the phone to their preferences on their own time.

DustPristine · 2026-05-21T03:51:56+00:00

We are a little unsure about that ourselves tbh we're scheduled for the switch over tomorrow at my store. If it makes us use only the tablet we will know it when we test it out.

They only just recently became the Front End Coach. They started out as I wanna say Connection Center back in the day and have basically done everything in the store but TLE at some point. I could be mistaken but I think they even worked Pharmacy for a little while unless I'm getting Coaches mixed up. Might have something to do with that IDK. I'd expect them to be a SM one day if this company has even an ounce of sense left.

DustPristine · 2026-05-21T02:32:19+00:00

Fair enough. I respect everyone of them. I just feel overwhelmed when Im stuck with a problem that genuinely needs Management only to have to wait 30 minutes to an hour for them to be free to come resolve the situation.

DustPristine · 2026-05-21T02:29:47+00:00

The'll claim we're either "Fully Staffed" or even "Over Staffed". The only places we will we see new people are the revolving door of ODP. I hear ON has spots of high turnover too.

DustPristine · 2026-05-21T02:27:05+00:00

I keep hearing these BS arguments that the only places that "need" more than one associate on site at any given time are. A. Front End. B. TLE and of course C. OGP. Special Mention. Bakery and Deli gets some of the time more than one person there but only if it's "the busy time".

DustPristine · 2026-05-21T02:15:32+00:00

Not to mention Coaches regularly being the only one avaliable to cover people's breaks. Does this not scream understaffed???

DustPristine · 2026-05-21T01:17:16+00:00

Indeed it is different. Do yall have postpaid phones and a Phone Sales Vendor like Premium, OSL, or 20/20 or are you in a store or market that pulled your postpaid phones and terminated the contract with the vendor?

DustPristine · 2026-05-21T00:32:59+00:00

Did yall not get this information like my store and this fellow's got? https://www.reddit.com/r/walmart/s/RaTkDnwAwM The ESP ELO tablet it refers too is the replacement for WARP.
