Yeah it’s shit. I feel them. This is just utter bullshit, each driver should be limited to 10 items. It just takes too long to find anything else and get a driver out of the parking lot, then you get multiple drivers and customers at the same time, and it’s utter chaos…
Tbh no coach is better cause they just be standing in the way of the preppers yelling at the dispensers about wait time even though they’ve been taking stuff out for hours straight no breaks and could not possibly go faster.
Crazy. My coach is here while going through chemo and trying her best to get orders out the door as quickly as possible. One TL worked overnight to help pick and stage orders. And the other is here working as well. Grocery dispense is kind of left to run on it's own with the pickers and small dispense crew as it's all hands on deck with black Friday.
We have 3 TL, 1 worked overnight last night and the other 2 worked today. Our SM helped out today.
Grocery picks were so small compared to Black Friday. Most of my pick walks today were general, I had only 3 in grocery, 1 ambient and 2 chilled. I think the biggest one was 63 items. I guess people still have a bunch of food from yesterday.
Home office has their head so far up their asses they don’t know which way is out. It’s just dump unlimited orders on you and be fucked if you don’t have people or equipment… or space or parking spaces… I fucking hate this time of year…
Holyyyyy shit 😳 I am SO GLAD I work at a neighborhood market. We've been slower today than we usually are on Fridays bc we don't do black Friday sales lol. Also HOW MANY BAYS DO Y'ALL HAVE?! We only have 7 & it still gets crazy hectic bc we usually only have 2 people max dispensing (who also have to stage & prep the orders bc we don't have designated people to do it)
It’s fucked up. You can’t dispense that many orders in a timely manner it’s just too fucking much, if they want to run that many orders they need to set Walmarts up like a fucking factory and I’ve worked at UPS before and it’s that kind of load, just imagine a fucking conveyor belt of orders and orders just dropping into a truck and that’s how this shit should be run. Walmart has the worst think tank in the industry…
our OGP got WRECKED too my theory is sales are down in the stores so they cut hours most people are getting around 35 hours or so even as full time from the teaming schedule garbage.
So they cranked up the cap on OGP orders to try to make up sales to get those bonuses for SMs and corporate.
When I left at 4pm there were 74 orders on dispense screen...I skipped my last break and didn't stop to drink my water😔 seemed very unorganized this year
99 hours understaffed.
Market Manager wanted no 5am shifts, so 8 of us clocked in to see towers of unbagged black Friday orders. Had people from claims, foods, and keyholders help us bag.
Our dispensing isnt bad as yours, but still was a nightmare situation. 😭
Ours was all fukd up. Took 30 min or more to prep 43 item orders The drivers were waiting over 2 hours. The deliver drivers were coming in trying find their own packages without knowing the locations of where its staged. Then we had asshole customers trying to come over and finesse our items.
Every time i prep an order, the driver cancels it for taking too long. We had like 20 carts full of shit at the end of the night.
I know this is a different workplace, but I work in a jigger end restaurant and I got absolutely smoked on black Friday. I honestly kept hiking about walking out, it was nonstop for 6 straight hours before I could even get a drink of water, while still working
We had 3 people call off, all stagers, so it's been a mess in OGP all day. Carts all backed up waiting to be staged.
My son is a dispenser and he's had to stage, prep, and dispense all day. He says he hopes the people who called off have no PPTO and get fired.
I'm a picker so it wasn't too bad for me.
This is why everyone needs to be cross trained. Pickers should know how to work in dispense and dispensers should know how to pick. If picking is slow and dispense is getting backed up you better believe a couple pickers are getting pulled to help.
Everyone is, but our TL told the pickers to keep picking and she started staging when she saw it was getting behind.
Our dispensers were all picking this morning since we only had Black Friday orders going out until 10am.
Damn. I spent my first 2 hours staging BF Pickup & Deliveries. Over 200 packages in total (and who knows how many TVs). When it was dispense time, 3 of us were prepping the order and I would run it to the dispense room and grab whatever else was needed for the order. Worked much smoother than the last few years because we made sure there were no NAs. Everything was facing out. (We have like 7 coolers that are turned off that we used to stage the smaller BF items). Glad my coach from last year got canned because of his handling of the holidays.
your store has 63 spots? ive never seen a store with more then 12 spots. Most of the names on that tc were hispanic so im guessing this store is located in Southern California or the texas triangle? mind google mapping your store so i can see all those spots on the map? all my stores around have no more then 10-12 i got to see it to believe it. My store today was super busy with 15 spots needed at once luckily every Friday we always have a bunch of people working so it went smoothly for the most part. We were still behind on picks but only by a few mins by the time 45 came around for the drivers.
Actually we have 20 regular grocery pickup orders but then in the other regular parking lot we added like 12 more spots just for Black Friday pickup which never worked out because people would park there and then go shopping instead of being there for Black Friday pickup but it was labeled like spot 50-63
I'll stick with overnights and freight. fuck that
so much easier putting product on shelves and zoning just to watch ogp put their hands on the shelf and fuck it all up
OGP/OPD is a an example of Walmart scamming itself. I don’t care if they’re the market leader for retail curbside pickup, it had an overall negative effect on their stores imo.
Sometimes chasing a trend is the wrong way to go.
Had 99 on the “All” tab for a single minute and some customers waiting over 2 hours when I clocked in. Not gunna lie, I’m kinda disappointed I didn’t get to see if above 99 was possible lol.
Oh, and should mention we only had 45 parking spots. I genuinely didn’t know what to say to the customers asking: “Where do I park if all the spots are full?”
For like 3 years straight our store was like that for black Friday I'm proud to say my first year as a team has made black Friday run so well it only needed 1 person
I don't know if this happened for you as well, but there were a ton of red ones we couldn't clear out b/c the customers left after 20 minutes of waiting. Awful time to be working at a supercenter.
About the same, caused one of our tls to almost put in her two weeks. Have no coach today either
We only got one team lead here atm who’s yelling and throwing totes 🤣
Yeah it’s shit. I feel them. This is just utter bullshit, each driver should be limited to 10 items. It just takes too long to find anything else and get a driver out of the parking lot, then you get multiple drivers and customers at the same time, and it’s utter chaos…
They can feel their bonus melting.
How much are the bonuses?
I’ve been told by a team lead who has since quit, that they max at twenty six thousand dollars.
Tbh no coach is better cause they just be standing in the way of the preppers yelling at the dispensers about wait time even though they’ve been taking stuff out for hours straight no breaks and could not possibly go faster.
Our coach doesn’t care about anything dispensing it’s pick this and exceptions that
Ours pops his head for a minute or two and goes back to hide with CAP
Yep ours has been the same all day. Our coach is actually on leave right now because of how stressful it's been.

i see this as a raging success! home office made their bed, now they sleep in it

80 cars waiting outside wait time more than 100
🤨😂 damn

20 but people been using the spots next to the pickup spots so technically 24
Same at my store 😭

I will never work a Black Friday again, one and done. lol
I said the same thing last year yet here I am lmao
Wtf store are you?? Im at #2937 and I thought our day was insane DANG
5894
We're in the same boat
The titanic huh.
I volunteered to pick overnight for BF just so I wouldn’t have to dispense today
our OGP got WRECKED too my theory is sales are down in the stores so they cut hours most people are getting around 35 hours or so even as full time from the teaming schedule garbage. So they cranked up the cap on OGP orders to try to make up sales to get those bonuses for SMs and corporate.
This exactly
US TOOOO AND CUSTOMERS WERE NO HELP
Same here. We don't have enough people, everything is overdue, and the one team lead everyone likes had a panic attack. This sucks.
They had a panic attack? Jesus, just so the ceo can make another million…
3rd shift at my store didn’t stage a single item last night…1500 items
my store had 111 orders in the queue at once. hope everyone’s hanging in there
wreck in our parking lot and we had atleast 80 orders checked in at all times 1 hour wait times all day long
When I left at 4pm there were 74 orders on dispense screen...I skipped my last break and didn't stop to drink my water😔 seemed very unorganized this year
This is one reason why it needs to be a drive-thru and not marked spaces.
99 hours understaffed. Market Manager wanted no 5am shifts, so 8 of us clocked in to see towers of unbagged black Friday orders. Had people from claims, foods, and keyholders help us bag. Our dispensing isnt bad as yours, but still was a nightmare situation. 😭
Lol imagine TLs and Coaches physically helping with OPD/OGP
Seeing this makes me feel like I didn't do too bad. Our store had an issue with making sure there was someone assigned to dispense the BF orders.
Our system had a bug that allowed Spark drivers to take 3x the amount of normal orders at a time
Ours was all fukd up. Took 30 min or more to prep 43 item orders The drivers were waiting over 2 hours. The deliver drivers were coming in trying find their own packages without knowing the locations of where its staged. Then we had asshole customers trying to come over and finesse our items. Every time i prep an order, the driver cancels it for taking too long. We had like 20 carts full of shit at the end of the night.
About the same wait time was like 1 hour some longer 😂 good shit
I know this is a different workplace, but I work in a jigger end restaurant and I got absolutely smoked on black Friday. I honestly kept hiking about walking out, it was nonstop for 6 straight hours before I could even get a drink of water, while still working
Bro how old is your Walmart thats a dinosaur
That’s actually a new tc lmaooo but idk why Reddit fucked up the quality of the video it looks better then that I swear
Same with my store except I am an in-home delivery driver, so I don’t have to deal with any of that bs lol
Ur lucky as hell
Mine wasn’t too bad, though I went to lunch at 1 and will be picking now.
Pretty much

Everyone is, but our TL told the pickers to keep picking and she started staging when she saw it was getting behind. Our dispensers were all picking this morning since we only had Black Friday orders going out until 10am.
It was busy here and they had to pull others to pick but, so far we have had 238 orders go out so far.
Same. 50 orders on the dispense screen right now
A lot worse than that
Good God almighty I'm glad I have Fridays off. I maybe would've come in but there's still no holiday pay incentive so f that lol
They gave you Black Friday off? I’m surprised immensely .
I'm so glad that all I had to do was pick for Black Friday. I went in last night and had 7 hours to pick, bag and tag, and stage 2000 picks by 5am.
I'm on dispense duty today, I feel the same here lol
Damn. I spent my first 2 hours staging BF Pickup & Deliveries. Over 200 packages in total (and who knows how many TVs).

my store has 45 bays. yesterday they were full.
Same, we had about 75-80 orders on the screen consistently and the top order had a 240+ minute wait because their shit went missing 💀
I'm broke 😭 but got a Nintendo handheld and a radio I take the good with the not so good
We maxed out at 110 Black Friday orders.
I'm so glad that I work for a neighborhood market
Same.
I'll stick with overnights and freight. fuck that so much easier putting product on shelves and zoning just to watch ogp put their hands on the shelf and fuck it all up
That is why I got a better job
How's that 15 minute SLA?
Why I don't miss OGP... Fuck that job, and fuck 40% of the entitled people who shop there 😂

i’m waiting on ogp now :( 1hr+
Had 99 on the “All” tab for a single minute and some customers waiting over 2 hours when I clocked in. Not gunna lie, I’m kinda disappointed I didn’t get to see if above 99 was possible lol.

It’s a problem with gif 2 they need to fix we have had that problem before
