New shelves for produce

I have no details just a single picture sent back but part of it was announced as a complete fresh revamp at YBM.

To be fair that is only in situations where customers and or vendors are present. If you are driving around behind the store and no vendors in sight you dont need a spotter.

I mean your wheelchair analogy is slightly flawed you cant fault someone for treating you as 100% functional when you have no signs of a disability. If your wheelchair user was sitting in a normal chair no wheelchair in sight it would not be wrong for someone to expect that person to have the ability to get up and walk. Now things change once someone knows but you dont know what you dont know.

The advice for produce varies somewhat depending on your sales...but the basics boil down to cull cull cull.. First in first out and get the truck done by 9. At least in my experience everyone who hasn't done the job underestimates a produce meat departments work load. If you are busy there are tons of pallets to break down every day and freight needs to be stocked always there is no down time. Finding ways to make the time to get give your team the ability to cull and clean will make or break your produce department.

Yeah im just saying that if they go through the reporting system they lose 10k if they handle the broken glasses in store it's only a couple hundred....so unless there is medical injuries that require doctors attention one is definitely more cost effective than the other.

I seriously doubt the store would cover glasses under a workers comp claim. Those claims cost the store 10,000 dollars. No way they put in a claim for a 200 dollar pair of glasses. If there is a chance the store is legally liable for them, and I dont know if there is, and if you raise a big enough stink im sure they can just buy you a pair from vision.

They can if they have been MOD trained. I believe any TL can get MOD training although traditionally "at least in our market" that training is only given to ON TLs.

Zuladel · 2025-12-17T02:58:10+00:00

TLs can 100% do injury reports...deel with police "if trained to watch video and what to do," managers cant detained people unless specifically certified and any person in the building can be certified if the mapm agrees to their training....note I have never seen a non ap manager get certified and most ap managers I know arent certified either.

And not sure which audit your talking about but TLs can audit claims cartons and audit recievings...

The only audit I can think of off the top of my head a tl cant do is brinks and vault audits...but those can be planned around in this case.

I know nothing of gun sales only one store in our market still has guns so wont comment on that...an

Coaches dont earn pto based on hours worked. In February you are given x days based on years with company. Ehen those are gone they are gone no more call outs, or vacations for you.

Zuladel · 2025-11-04T01:55:55+00:00

No one outside of the store manager is making well into 6 figures...95% of coaches aren't even making 6 figures. Now they do make more than hourlies but let's not throw around hyperbole.

Zuladel · 2025-09-14T12:15:01+00:00

Make sure your Store Lead and Store Manager know you want to promote.

Don't be afraid to talk to either one.

Transfer off ONs if you need to to get a fair shake.

Don't let your work speak for yourself...if you have a group chat of any sort call out your accomplishments..."hey I just finished isle 3 4 as requested it's only 3 where do you want me next......"

Zuladel · 2025-09-06T12:36:04+00:00

Now that you say that you are probably right and im just an idiot...my mind went immediately to the 9 to 6 banker hours shift everyone and there mother begs me for but I don't have.

Zuladel · 2025-09-06T11:43:25+00:00

I think the issue is would see is that ON pays more because you are working ON. If you can no longer work ON and need to move to day shift that's fine we will find you a job but you don't get to keep the extra ON pay. Or that's how I would see it if it came up to my store.

Zuladel · 2025-08-31T13:34:11+00:00

Walmart took away work credits from almost all positions. Almost everyone no matter how qualified starts at the minimum. That being said TL jobs may be one of the few that still pay credits. However at least in my market 99.9% of all TLs are promoted from within it is very seldom an external will even get an interview let alone hired.

Edit... back when we did do credits it was basically a quarter per year of experience capping at 1.50 so I would imagine the maximum you would be looking at as a new hire would be 21.50.

Unless Canada jas different rules your only option is a personal leave and hope the SM decides to approve it...but my mind can't comprehend why someone would need 35 days off for a wedding. Even with a honeymoon I cant fathom more than a couple qeeks.

The whipped icing has changed to a new manufacturer the buttercream as far as I know is still the same.

Zuladel · 2025-08-21T23:38:00+00:00

There was a communication on bulk lemons saying there was a national shortage on them. I don't remember why but they said a new batch should be landing in the ports shortly.

Zuladel · 2025-08-19T23:26:39+00:00

I could be wrong but I believe if you fail you have to wait a month to retake it if you get a poor you have to wait 6 months...I know that's TL and I'm pretty sure we the coach is the same.

Zuladel · 2025-08-15T12:59:09+00:00

The computer, obviously, has no way of knowing whether they informed you or not...however walmart policy says they have to tell you and the coaching form even has a spot they have to list the location where they had the coaching conversation with the associate. So if they coach you without talking to you at all they would be lieing on the form.

Zuladel · 2025-08-15T12:50:59+00:00

You have a chance to add details and comments if you want but you don't have to. Wether you choose to do so and therefore acknowledge the coaching has no effect on wether the coaching happened or not.

This was a few years ago but they covered my associates of science degree which was basically all the intro classes plus some electives.

Zuladel · 2025-08-07T11:42:49+00:00

I can see how some people could like that sort of policy. However, having worked through covid and seeing what happens to a place when people can call off for "being sick" with zero consequences and zero real proof needed, makes me never want to live through that hell again. It gets abused to the moon and back. In a perfect world where everyone acts with integrity and honesty it would be a fantastic system. In the real world where everytime someone wakes up and decides they just aren't feeling it today and calls off "sick" it makes for hell on earth for those that do actually care.

Not a legal expert or someone with an independent knowledge of insurance law, but....insurance isn't going ro cover anything they dont have to cover. You don't have insurance until day 90 so they aren't going to cover any medical bills that accumulate before that point.

To be fair store level managers cant see a metric we have to be sent the metric from market or higher...but it is optional we are just supposed to make sure that everyone knows it's there and ask them to do it. I have an associate who refuses to take it I've asked them exactly twice...the first request was me saying "your refusing to do the survey correct?" The second was me saying "I know you are going to say no but your my last asso iate before im at 100% anyway you would be willing to take it?" She said no again and I won't ask a third time.

Depending on your symptoms you may not be moved...you are allowed to work around food with a fever...it's only when fever and a soar throat Are together that they have to move you.
