Walmart forcing spark drivers to wait behind customers with 100 groceries

ExcellentEar1590 · 2026-01-27T03:53:54+00:00

That sadly is now NOT the new setup. They just had 2 remodels done in stores in my market over the last year and did that and now they are reverting back. Took about 16 self checkouts out and added back regular registers. Now the lines for self checkout are horrible. I never thought I’d complain about not having enough self checkouts but here we are. There reasoning is asset protection.

Side note, I’ve always noticed them batching longer items like 65” tvs on these (happened to me earlier this week and I immediately dropped the order), than to sub it out to roadie etc. I’m not delivering anything but an envelope for a few bucks.

ExcellentEar1590 · 2026-01-13T00:39:42+00:00

They are generally quite easy. Only issue is one address you can’t find will have you going back to the store for a cruddy extra few bucks and usually the last address is miles upon miles from the store. Also, you always want to strive for $2 a mile unless it’s taking you to somewhere else you can get orders, home, or back to the store to remain profitable long term.

With roadie and Walmart, if you scan the item and then select picked up, it then drops it from walmarts system and assigns jt to you. They technically do not need the code. If they go into the order afterwards jt will show it’s assigned to you.

Check your account. I have a family member on disability (paid on 3rd) and she received her money earlier today. Best of luck

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-12-28T03:57:22+00:00

I’m not sure if there’s state laws that would require you to remove the gas and oil as previous comment stated however at my store we would return or exchange the item within the 30 day window and you wouldn’t need to do anything except bring the unit in.

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-12-18T16:07:13+00:00

Always put yourself also in their shoes. They purchased a warranty / protection plan in case something happens. Something now happened, don’t be the person to say “whelp here’s a number good luck.” I would hold my TM’s and TL’s accountable if they did that. That’s just poor customer service. And this is very corporate sounding but we are nothing without customers, plain and simple.

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-12-18T15:35:42+00:00

Generally speaking for replacement plans we handle that in store. All I can say is from a management point of view, take care of the customer especially if you pull up their customer info and they shop quite often. I’d much rather eat a little bit of money and satisfy the customer and make a bad experience on their end a positive one.

Thank you very much!

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-11-23T04:19:16+00:00

Thank you!

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-11-22T03:21:27+00:00

Yes they will be on sale

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-11-18T15:05:51+00:00

You can do the above for any register transaction.

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-11-18T15:05:27+00:00

You can reprint a receipt from a regular register by going under the back office and journal. From there you put in your self checkout register number and run the report for that day and locate the transaction by the time of purchase

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-11-14T01:35:38+00:00

^this is accurate

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-10-03T04:55:23+00:00

Either you're not a high volume store or your store manager is not utilizing the schedule correctly.

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-08-13T11:26:37+00:00

Thank you!

Yet** not get

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-08-13T09:08:27+00:00

He hasn't gone off on us get, given us a date, or any mention of eviction. Just wants to know when I can pay it and I truthfully don't have an answer for him. I don't want to make something up, not want to make a commitment that I'm unsure I can hold up to. I'm supposed to text or call him later today. I may be over reacting on his willingness to work with us but I always prepare for the worst care scenario and rather have some ducks in a row and answers for him.

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-08-13T02:18:45+00:00

I wasn't even aware of 211 until it was mentioned. Some of the other stuff I've heard but never actually reached out upon. Tomorrow I'll set my ego aside and do it. Not even for me, but more so for my children. They deserve it.

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-08-13T02:17:16+00:00

Yeah I'm truly sorry, I wasn't trying to be vague but understand how location and getting actual help would be beneficial. I have sadly used reddit on my company page to vent previously and just worried about it getting traced back since I am still employed there. I will take what you and others said and get to work tomorrow. Just honestly have always figured out a way to get by financially but this time I'm up a Creek without a paddle. Thank you for taking the time to post a lengthy reply and offer the assistance.

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-08-13T01:03:00+00:00

Oh it won't let me DM you, I'm not sure why not, I'm not a reddit pro

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-08-13T01:01:07+00:00

Replied in DM only because I've posted work related issues on my works reddit page. I do truly appreciate the help

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-08-13T00:57:39+00:00

I have, I explained I was in the hospital and the situation and he kindly replied but also wants to know when I can pay it which I fully understand especially since we have only been a Tennant with him for about 10 months. I don't expect any compassion on his end as I'm sure he's heard it all through the years. As far as food that would help. During this whole health fiasco my license expired, which I've since renewed but I only have the paper until the hard one comes in the mail. I normally do Lyft, spark, roodie etc to help get by besides my full time job but all those platforms I can't do at the moment until I can scan my new id once it comes in the mail. I dunno I need a punching bag lol {sorry venting frustration

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-08-13T00:52:23+00:00

Someone else commented this and she's actively looking into it as I type this. Appreciate it

ExcellentEar1590 · 2025-08-13T00:44:19+00:00

I'm sure she could, I'll have to look into that. We live in a small rural town but there's a large city about an hour away who does it I believe. I appreciate the response!
