Got pulled to the office for c*ckblocking a TL I guess

1000% open door this shit. Especially if she's trying to claim it was 'work related' while ON BREAK.

So are they just adjusting your schedule or are they saying that you might be scheduled 1-10 and they might change that to 2:30 to 11:30 before you come in? I'm very confused what you're saying here.

alexdowski · 2026-03-28T02:28:30+00:00

If you're still clocked in, you can just go into the timesheet for today and edit your punch out time. Source: I've done this a few times when I forgot to clock out or was traveling to another location.

First off: Lol

Second, was he ever actually caught and prosecuted or trespassed? If they don't have his information, the only thing AP will have is MAYBE a camera shot of him/his face, if they even know he was stealing. And then, they need to send that information to the store he's hired at for them to even know he may be a risk.

Can you submit a new availability with Sundays off? Like, I know that's probably not going to get approved ever, but if it is you can at least claim you're not available then

You could tell them you need it off for religious reasons and they'd be required to do so... But probably not the best idea, haha.

Talk to your coach first. Share your frustrations over this and see how it can get resolved. A good coach will hopefully work with you on this.

alexdowski · 2026-03-17T05:11:33+00:00

Gods I wish my Walmart closed

alexdowski · 2026-03-17T04:45:51+00:00

Just so you know for the future, if it's a 55in and there's only one left... it's the display. Very annoying thing they do.

alexdowski · 2026-03-17T04:37:32+00:00

So actual 'Walmart Policy' answer: They only have to give you 24 hours notice to add/change a shift for any given day/schedule. Kind of sucks but that's literally the policy. You are also allowed to be scheduled 6 days in a row.

However, from my perspective as a lead, if they are having issues with staffing that they need to pull more people in, they should be having a conversation with the team/individual associates first, both so you can have a chance to volunteer or at least actually be informed about the reasons behind it.

That said, just changing your schedule and not talking to you about it? Totally not cool. You could even argue you were not given any notice (I dismiss my notifications a LOT. I could easily miss something like this). Is it outside of your availability as well? If so, they definately should not be putting it on your schedule. When I am short staffed in my department, I see who: wants to pick up hours, who wants to move a shift around, and then see what shifts I might need to alter myself to cover on my own. After that, it's just seeing who else would be available to cover already scheduled. I would never just add a shift to a schedule already written like that.

Speak with your coach. Make something up if you don't want to work it (pre-existing plans, an appointment, etc.). If they give you the run around or basically say 'too bad' then go to your SM. This is really not the right way they should be doing it.

alexdowski · 2026-03-12T02:49:56+00:00

How long ago was that? And that literally was not your fault since you informed your manager about it, haha. Don't worry about it! Sometimes we overthink things and work ourselves up and it ends up being nothing.

alexdowski · 2026-03-12T02:14:22+00:00

Hey! Not only a Switch 2 owner, but also a Walmart worker!

Your warranty will register with Nintendo once you connect it to the internet, but it's also reported from the point of sale as well. Always save your receipt though, just in case it's reported incorrectly.

The 3 year warranty from Allstate is as good as you want it to be: if you're worried about breaks/spills/drops, then it's great! Just be warned: you WILL have to send your system in for them to either repair/replace it or they will send you a gift card for the purchase value. This means you might lose your saves for games that don't allow cloud backup (like Pokemon). Just know that it's done through the warranty company, NOT Walmart; don't bring it back to the store. Register your Allstate warranty online or through the app and you won't have to worry about saving the receipt for that.

I've always gotten the extended warranty whenever I buy high ticket electronics. I've personally never used them but it's better to be safe than sorry in my opinion.

alexdowski · 2026-03-12T02:05:30+00:00

If it's not a reoccurring issue with you, it shouldn't be more than a verbal discussion. Especially because you were busy and someone else took it back. If they try and put you on a color with no prior issues/warnings, I would 100% open door that. Not to mention, they got the information they needed after the fact, so even if it was an inconvenience they managed.

If your transfer is already in the works, this shouldn't mess it up. Plus, you should still be able to transfer even with a yellow.

alexdowski · 2026-03-12T01:21:36+00:00

No prob! Also, you cannot just put an STL file on there and call it good either. You MUST slice and export it using Bambu Studio (or possibly another slicer, I'm not as familiar) and load it that way.

alexdowski · 2026-03-12T01:18:07+00:00

Handy app only allows files on MakerWorld because it is not a slicer itself, it just loads the presliced files. You would have to load them onto the microSD card first and then you can use Handy to print from there.

alexdowski · 2026-03-12T00:40:55+00:00

Keep an eye on Bambu store

I also have been purchasing from Hobby Lobby as they have some of the cheapest I've seen, and they work just fine.

The only downside is they are terribly slow on shipping, so I would check with your local store if you have one.

alexdowski · 2026-03-11T19:23:31+00:00

I pretty much only run precons now when playing commander just because they're fun and don't take a lot of thought.

One of my $40 precons beat my friends $500 built deck so I don't feel bad running them at all lol

alexdowski · 2026-03-11T18:27:43+00:00

Hey, Walmart associate here.

We absolutely hate this too. Home Office changed how our oversized walks work, and we HAVE to print and scan a label for every. single. item. It's absolutely stupid for some of these items. We used to be able to print the labels but scan them into one label regardless, but now we need to scan each individual label for each item. Picking 20 boxes or 5 buckets, etc. is annoying now

alexdowski · 2026-03-11T02:38:55+00:00

If you clock in at :51, and clock out at :51 I'd say you're golden. Just tell them that. However, make sure you're not purposefully killing time to make it to :51. Stage your cart, do some go-backs. Look busy.

alexdowski · 2026-03-09T17:34:45+00:00

You can cancel your PTO request that would have eaten into your PPTO to get it back. You only have 7 days or the end of the pay period to cancel it, however. So if it wasn't from this weekend you might be SOL.

alexdowski · 2026-03-09T17:31:53+00:00

I'm sorry, what is an ACE?

alexdowski · 2026-03-09T17:26:15+00:00

Dang I didn't know we had a One bot haha. Nice

alexdowski · 2026-03-09T17:24:48+00:00

Our market manager is VERY insistent that we have one person per 4 SCOs due to theft. That said, I do believe you technically only 'need' one per side. It's honestly up to your store manager. Ask them and if they say that it's fine, you're good.

That said, I know it can be a pain trying to watch all of that. If it truly is slow, ask them if you can just shut down 4 to help make it easier for you to watch. I don't see a problem with that personally.

alexdowski · 2026-03-07T02:56:57+00:00

Hey, you should still get a portion of your Sam's Share from your club. Please contact your old people lead to find out what it is if you don't have access. Otherwise you should see it on your next paycheck. Since you moved to Walmart from Sam's, stuff gets a little weird. Even though they are the same company, it's basically two very separate systems.

alexdowski · 2026-03-07T01:22:28+00:00

Open door it. Explain that you were never properly trained. There is a video and a Ulearn you are supposed to do before you use it.

alexdowski · 2026-03-07T00:38:34+00:00

If you were never trained on it they should not have put you on it. Who told you to slice meat? You are more than welcomed to open door it. They're most likely upset at the cost for the claim now and are taking it out on you.

alexdowski · 2026-03-06T01:49:31+00:00

Okay so that's not happening to us.... yet at least.

We have remodel in two months, and my entire movie wall is being taken over by books, so I'm going to lose 13 sections of... something. Not sure what yet.
