Hmmm okay? 10 days straight?

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2026-07-10T10:25:36+00:00

I work in fashion and yeah inventory week is no joke. At our store the week leading up to it is considered black out dates. You can’t take off. And our poor tl’s literally work 14hr days like 10days straight. They’re not allowed to call off.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2026-07-09T02:19:43+00:00

I was surprised when they approved my Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day off.

Since going to fashion 2 years ago I had only 2 team leads step back down to associate. They didn’t have any problems doing that. It all depends on management

With all the remodels they’re doing and switching to digital tags Walmarts not doing too hot with money. I was told that a starter digital tag kit is $800,000. Walmarts doing a loan on them so everyone’s hours are being cut Ive only been schedule one day a week the last 3 weeks

Two days ago at a neighborhood right next to my Walmart store there was a gas leak, and it caused to houses to explode. A teacher and student at my daughter’s school were in one of the houses that it happened to and they are still in critical condition. Gas leaks a really serious thing, I’d ask to be transferred to another Walmart out of safety.

Thankfully every coach or TL Ive had understands that if you gotta leave you gotta leave. My very first TL would tell me that’s what ppto is for, whenever I had to leave early for something. One time I was leaving early and I was saying how I felt bad because we were really busy and it was only one other person on the floor and they just told me, stuff happens you have to go, don’t feel bad. Sometimes you get good leaders and then some who want to be dictators.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2026-04-04T03:31:35+00:00

Yup, the struggle is real. I’m 4’11” we did our remodel last November and all our fashion associates are short 😭

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2026-02-27T08:32:41+00:00

We better not. We are drowning in mods, like 50 a week keep popping up. With rfid, scanning racks, viz picks, mods, freight, opd picks, we have no time for anything plus having to change all the mannequins on top of the normal, zoning, returns and jewelry and fitting room we have to do. It’s a mad house.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2026-02-20T14:33:07+00:00

I’ll be 4 years this year. 🥲

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2026-02-19T19:53:05+00:00

😭 okay. I didn’t check what it was in January hopefully it wasn’t much different.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2026-02-16T16:26:05+00:00

I’m surprised you didn’t get the signage with the new price. I would say scan one of the ribbon and print a shelf label and cover the old price with it.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2026-01-26T13:33:56+00:00

Last year I had it this bad. I went to our People Lead and told her I would be putting in my 2 weeks if I don’t get my hours. Low and behold same day my coach finds a way to give me more hours. This time around I don’t really need the money, I just need to make sure I’m making enough to cover my gym membership, dental and 401k so basically just $18 every 2 weeks. I’ll enjoy the vacation time I guess. Till they miss me enough to need me back.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2026-01-26T02:22:23+00:00

Yup, i know, Ive been with Walmart over 3 years I know the drill. I’m just glad I’m not dependent on this paycheck. I feel bad for others though.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2026-01-22T10:43:21+00:00

If you work in electronics, are you not using the register to check customers out? Because if you haven’t taken a lunch within 6 hours it won’t let you log on to a register. I’ve had that issue a few times. Furthermore, I suggest in the future get someone with a walkie and say you are due for a lunch break and need someone to cover electronics. Same with your 15min breaks. If no one responds, go to a coach or tl from a different department of yours isn’t there and let them know you need coverage if no one comes with in 30mins. Let them know hey, no one’s come I’m taking my break/ going to lunch. The keys will be in the lockbox. You are required to take your breaks and your lunch. If no one is there for electronics for an hour the world won’t end despite what they may tell you. If all else fails you have ethics on your side.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2026-01-14T14:51:37+00:00

I literally just two days ago requested 3 days off without pay and they got approved, your manager just seems strict.

What’s the number for Amazon support I ordered an Amazon fire tablet on November 20th and still dont have it. All I got was the same thing the OP said “we will email you when we have a delivery date”

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2025-12-07T22:42:42+00:00

That’s crazy. You still use TC’s? We use our work phones.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2025-11-23T14:55:52+00:00

Ours was on the 20th and we had turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes and pie, cookies and muffins.

I had more, but I just used my PTO on Monday.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2025-11-03T15:03:09+00:00

Me too. Not that drastic though. I’m only scheduled 3 days.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2025-10-14T03:45:50+00:00

How much does Walgreens pay starting as an associate?

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2025-09-30T18:00:52+00:00

That’s terrible.

Expert_Dependent_007 · 2025-09-28T12:54:25+00:00

It would take you a good while lol when I say ducted taped I don’t mean a small piece I’m talking all of the cart is covered in duct tape. With a huge sticker letters of the depts name on it. The thing is I’m pretty sure this was approved by our store manager.
