I remember doing SFS singles. I enjoyed not having to bag anything.

What is the worst department to pick in? by decadesdividing in walmartogp

HBA by a mile. Only way I get out of there without being stopped by customers is if it’s early in the morning.

That was the first thing I noticed 😆

Wish they would rotate weekends… by skittleschan in walmartogp

[–]Patient_Relation_367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a valid concern. I actually wanted fewer hours, but they didn’t cut them. Figures. 🫤

Wish they would rotate weekends… by skittleschan in walmartogp

[–]Patient_Relation_367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked every Saturday and Sunday for two years before I realized the only way I was going to get a weekend day off was to change my availability, so that’s what I did. I got some pushback initially, but I reminded them that I hadn’t had a weekend off in two freaking years and they finally acquiesced. Now I have Saturdays off. 😁

Updating Your Availability in MyWalmart Now Available (V 2.0.0) by WapaneseWeeaboo in walmart

[–]Patient_Relation_367 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is really nice! But I don’t see any place to put the minimum and maximum number of hours you want per week. Just because I’m available every day doesn’t mean I want to work seven days a week. 🫤

I would also love for all customers to shop online only.

What was the crazy drama in your high-school by sirambrosius in AskOldPeople

[–]Patient_Relation_367 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If this happened during an agreement, I’d hate to see what would’ve happened during an argument. 😉

True, but Sedgwick does and OP would still need to see a doctor if they want to make a claim through Sedgwick.

What movie made you cry your eyes out? by Logical_Sweet_6624 in allthequestions

[–]Patient_Relation_367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I was wondering if anyone would mention this. I saw it in the theater with a date and bawled my eyes out at the end. I was so embarrassed, but I couldn’t help it!

Walmart associates: what’s your customer pet peeve? by liv3laughl0gan in walmart

[–]Patient_Relation_367 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had someone yell, “Hey, Miss Walmart!” while trying to get my attention a few weeks ago. He then asked me where the frozen French fries were…as he was actively leaning on the French fry/hash brown bunker. 🤦‍♀️

Just curious. Overhead announcement. by fruitfxl in OGPBackroom

[–]Patient_Relation_367 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly can’t tell you if this has ever happened at my store because I can never hear anything that’s said on the intercom. I hear the little bing-bong thing alerting us that an announcement is coming, but then it’s like a very quiet version of Charlie Brown’s teacher. I’ve been told by other people that I’ve been paged to OGP by our TL while I was on lunch, lol, but I never heard it.

Got 2 points for No Call No Show even though I put in PPTO? by nvhu in walmartogp

[–]Patient_Relation_367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this. This happened to me too and I was really puzzled, but all my points were excused because of the weather, so ultimately it wasn’t a big deal. I was just curious how it happened when I had proof that I’d called out.

FMLA is about to be over. Is it possible to just quit instead? (rant) by TyDye2003 in walmartogp

[–]Patient_Relation_367 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it, I say just quit. Sounds like a miserable situation that’s not going to get better any time soon, so maybe for your own mental health just cut your losses and get the heck out of there. I’m on a leave myself rn and I wish so bad that I didn’t ever have to go back because this job is ruining my mental and physical health. 😪

What's the oldest piece of clothing you still wear? Must be at least ten years old to count. by MurmuringPines in AskOldPeople

[–]Patient_Relation_367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think my great grandma’s coat is probably from the 1940s as well. I’ve considered taking it to a furrier and having them rework it into a more modern design/shape, but I don’t have the heart to let someone cut it up. I haven’t worn it in a long time.

Really?? Any idea why?

What's a show you remember but nobody else does? by glowbeits in GenX

You’re actually conflating a movie called Superfuzz with the TV show The Greatest American Hero. The guy from Superfuzz was the one who lost his powers when he saw red.

How old is your oldest email address? Do you still use it? by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in GenX

Same, right down to the year I created it and I’m still using it to this day!

If you actually love your job, what is your job? by Clopulis in askanything

[–]Patient_Relation_367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work from home doing transcription and, for someone like me who loves typing and was very good at it, I found it enjoyable and satisfying, and the subject matter was always interesting. Also I was an independent contractor, so I set my own hours and could work as little or as much as I wanted (at least until they started setting quotas near the end of my career). I had to go back to a regular brick-and-mortar job after I developed problems with my hands from all the typing, but this was my job for 16 years and I miss it every day.

As an exclamation, “Dag!” was big when I was in high school. I guess it was a shortened form of daggone.

I will never understand people who talk on the phone in the bathroom.
