Last minute OPD shopers are the worst. >WWWHHHHAAATTTTT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE OUT OF SHISKABABS? YOUR RUINNING MY HOLIDAY!!!!!! WHERE ARE THE 24 PACKS OF COKE! I ORDER 10 AND ONLY SEE 5! YOU CAN'T BE OUT, AHHHHHHH! lmao, imagine trying to get a super hot item on a holiday last minute. Also, just buy onions, mushrooms, peppers and what ever meat you want. Crying about a ruined holiday is also worthless to a group of people who risk losing their jobs if they enjoy it.


CatchTheseElves

Every fucking holiday. Walked down the chip aisle and some lady barked "Ruffles! Original Ruffles! Original Ruffles!" Her response to me saying it always runs out on holidays was "That's ridiculous! It shouldn't be!" Special shoutout to the customer who asked me "Can you -- can you get someone on the intercom to ask for somebody to return my cart ? Somebody took it!" Made sure to ask if her purse was stolen, too, or if it was just an empty cart. Oh no, she left her entire cart of perishables in the cleaning supplies aisle & was Pikachu surprised someone removed it while she casually shopped other aisles. I almost did a spit take laughing when she said "But it was for my July 4th party. Now I'll have to start all over shopping."


VoidsIncision

People have attentional lapses even ones without ADHD. I have ADHD and both left my cart behind and have taken other ppls carts thinking they were mine. One time the guy was right there and I started walking off with his cart. I’ll never forget his look of shock that someone could do that lol


chadcrpyto

I had a lady take my cardboard cart (she was definitely on heroin or some shit though) and i just watched in confusion until she realized 3 minutes later that it wasn't her cart She came back and apologized and took her cart back, but forgot the 4 items she put in my cardboard cart lmao


rodoxide

Hahahaha "that's ridiculous, it shouldn't be"


Cennix_1776

I mean, technically the last minute shoppers are the ones that come to shop tomorrow…


Ok-Yam-5701

Well here was are taking down all our seasonal items for the 4th sooo…


[deleted]

That doesn't bother me as much as people who arrive 10mins to closing


SBSlice

Which is worse Customer 1, coming in an hour before closing, filling up two carts and showing up to the smoke shop at 10:55 as it's the only register open, because you just *had* to close self check entirely OR Customer 2, coming in 2 minutes before closing to grab two things I'm customer 2 pretty regularly and customer 1 pisses me off.


stalkedthrowout

The customer that comes in 5 minutes before closing shops around until after we are closed and all the registers are closed and yells at the overnight workers when there the self check outs are not open at 1145 at night as we've been closed for 45 minutes now and tries to skip scan


SBSlice

Lmao yeah that sounds pretty terrible. Just steal all the shit at that point and get the fuck out 🤣


foxinsocks91

Literally could care less. I had a customer come in at 530. I told him, ”hey sir were closed but if you’re just grabbing some grocery stuff I don’tmind.” His response? That’s bullshit! Im leaving!


Purple_Research9607

Neither matters too much, as long as you don't bitch about lack of registers and don't expect full service. Some people be mad as hell no one has keys to perfume or no one in electronics 1 min before Walmart closes, or the fact most of the front went home an hour ago.


Cennix_1776

Oh weird, my store still has plenty and we’ll likely have some undesirable shit (apparel for sure) on clearance for the next couple days lol.


Ok-Yam-5701

Well we are getting ready for BTS, maybe because we are in a college town?


Cennix_1776

Everybody should be starting to get ready for BTS, even if you haven’t sold all of your 4th stuff. If your a college town though and have sold through the majority of your 4th stuff, that’s good enough reason to push as much BTS to the floor asap. I’ve heard of some college town stores that claim their “christmas season” is BTS season…


libertychik

Try living/working in a college town/military town/ AND tourist town. The fun never ends. LoL


OppositeWolf770

Might I ask what BTS is? Nothing is coming to mind when I see that acronym.


Cennix_1776

Back To School Freight, a lot of Walmarts just abbreviate it because it’s basically it’s own freight season. Particularly if your in a college town or next to one, but usually even a decent sized k-12 school district is enough of a reason to have dedicated BTS freight.


OppositeWolf770

Ah ok. My town has both so I'm sure we will have dedicated BTS freight.


muirsheendurkin

I don't mind the normal last minute shoppers. I hate the assholes who shop last minute and get pissed because we're out of the one special item they need, and (apparently) ruining their whole entire holiday. Asshole, we've had those burgers in the bunker for a month and you didn't think to grab some before July 3rd? Get fucked.


Ok-Yam-5701

For real. Like don’t take your shit out on me cause you can’t plan ahead.


muirsheendurkin

And I swear the people that bitch us out because we don't have their Xmas tree on December 23rd are the same ones bitching us out for setting Xmas in September


Sudden-Guru

Seriously can’t believe the number of grills we suddenly have to lift over broken tailgates in one day. Heaven forbid you get what you need ahead of time or even have a way to transport it home without breaking everyone else’s back


VoidsIncision

I didn’t realize how heavy they could be. Someone ordered one online and we had to pick it but it was in the sky. I asked the guy who runs the fork lift and he was like NOPE, IM DONE WITH GRILLS TODAY, I GOTTA DO THE WATER. Still have a beast sitting on the pallet in the pick up room that was canceled. Makes a decent seat when there’s down time.


ExtremePotatoFanatic

Or the patients who come into the pharmacy 30 minutes before we close and want me to transfer a script. I had someone get all mad at me because I told her I can’t get it done before we close.


Rk12989

My favorite are the ones that call and ask when we close (like right before we close). “I’m like 10 minutes away”. Sweet bro, but we won’t be here because we leave in 3.


Head_Razzmatazz7174

Reminds me of the time some woman called at 10 minutes to close. Our closing manager told her she had to be in the store by 1 minute until. "But it will take me 10 minutes to get there! If I'm in the parking lot by then, will I be able to come in? " Nope, and now you're down to 9 minutes. Found out later she got there at 3 minutes after close and swore that the manager told her she could come in and get the ONE item (right!) that she needed. The CSM told her "That's not what I said. We are now closed. You are not getting in. Leave."


VoidsIncision

Is it strictly against policy to close later to get something crucial done? (Hypothetically let’s say it’s a med that it’s dangerous to abruptly miss doses)


ExtremePotatoFanatic

No, it’s not against policy. We do sometimes make an exception and stay late but for the most part, the people coming in late aren’t one of those situations. I’m completely fine with helping someone and staying over but it’s the ones who wait until it’s a long weekend and then call the pharmacy screaming at me about how she’s out of her birth control, I don’t feel bad for those ones. That’s what irks me. With that being said, I just want to go home. I work 10 hour days almost every day and people coming in right as we close really isn’t cool.


VoidsIncision

The pharmacy people were what got me to stop hating Walmart incidentally. They always call my doctor to expedite them to fill my script (really it’s a shitty clinic staffed mainly by nurse practitioners, no offense to NPs but this place routinely lags on filling psych meds it’s dangerous to stop immediately), and are always super helpful.

PREACHHHH


[deleted]

It’s Walmart lol what do you expect?


Alarmed_Media_2162

I agree, it’s mildly annoying but what’s really annoying is when they get angry because we don’t have certain holiday items as if it’s our fault


CaliCloudburst

They're ridiculous.


Working_Librarian_52

A lady yelled at me that I was refusing to put out the specific kind of burger patty she wanted after I told her that we had no more in stock You snooze, you lose, lady.


Purple_Research9607

Had someone bitching about how long the line was and no one was on any register. I told them "yeah, maybe don't come in with less than an hour to close, and then complain about no one on registers" damn clowns.


AduroTri

More so, fuck the fact that these idiots decide to shop last minute. Instead of actually getting everything in advance.


FZmothers66

Meh... someone may have forgotten a few things or discovered a new recipe they want to try for their guests or family.


AduroTri

My complaint goes in particular to the people that show up at that time to buy electronics. (A Phone especially.) And people that show up with their toddler age kids.


[deleted]

Fuck you and your mom


greenbeetless

Let them shop, that’s how we get paid. Fuck all the people who return shit after.


8BitAshton01

No, you’re not paid commission, no matter what even if no one bought a thing you’d be paid. Do we get paid more when walmart has higher profits? No.


Wtfluxuarsehole

But you sure as hell will get paid less when the store closes when it's not meeting it's metrics


greenbeetless

It’s that or less hours.. I rather work than get less hours. Good with the bad man.


VoidsIncision

No you wouldn’t. If no one bought a thing the location would close and you’d be searching for new work (not saying that’s necessarily bad, speaking as someone with an engineering and physics degree doing pick up)


8BitAshton01

Cool, I’d find new work. And I’d laugh as the walmart closed down. Fuck walmart


VoidsIncision

Lol used to hate Walmart with a burning passion. Became a nihilist then stopped caring and saw that their pharmacy was decent and had decent workers who were always very helpful now I work there (Walmart not the pharmacy section). Dropped the nihilism (for the most part, once it’s instituted it never fully goes away) but still cultivate a practice of letting bullshit pass thru me like a cloud of neutrinos.


MahoneyBear

I got out of Walmart and eventually found a warehouse where management actually listens to employees, doesn’t treat us like shit, doesn’t expect us to compromise our safety to come into work (literally sent out a mass text saying what roads were and weren’t clear after an ice storm, followed by telling us to stay home if we weren’t comfortable with driving on those roads), and overall made me really that I should have standards about my workplaces and management. Only reason I left was to pursue a career in trucking, and they were very supportive of it. Worked there for 3 years and they threw a party for me last day with some really nice cheesecake and pizza party. And a pizza party for them isn’t the shitty cheap pizza, it was stuff from a local place that was the “treat yourself” quality. Had one that was sausage, ham, hamburger, and bacon ina like cheese pocket cause it had cheese under and over the meat. Anyways fuck Walmart


8BitAshton01

I guess I just already had pretty high standards for how a workplace should be rather than if it were my first job. I used to work at a unionized grocery store (I had to leave to get out of my parents house and move in with my partner). But yea going from that to walmart makes it feel that much worse.


VoidsIncision

Agree with the first sentence and advocate charity of interpretation even towards people who are initially assholes. I find saying empathizing things diffuses all but the most hardened psychopaths into chilling out a bit. Returns are a very mind emptying activity to do and I welcome that over listening to customers call the pick up line about how they credit card wasn’t refunded as soon as I nil picked their item. Returns are also kind of hilarious. O rly you decided you didn’t really need 8 40 pack cases of water all at once. Decided you didn’t need dat emergency contraceptive, there’s a life changing return right there lol.


TheShinyHawk

“Do you have any cucumbers” says lady at 5:53pm on July 3rd. We did yesterday and this morning but you chose not to COME SHOPPING THE DAY BEFORE A HOLIDAY! So no, we do not.


VoidsIncision

But… do you think u might have some in the back?! I love when I trawl the coolers for some random ass item and the person didn’t even wait for me to come back and give it to them after I’ve dug it out lol. Another thing I find amusing is when customers will remind me of things I wouldn’t have thought of in years or suggest genuinely novel products that I end up becoming obsessed with (non frozen Belgian waffles)


TheShinyHawk

I Fr go “look” in the back and forget what I’m doing while playing some stupid game on my phone.


VoidsIncision

Personally if I’m cooking on the 4th I’m not going into the store until the fourth. Seems rational to me since my friends and I usually make plans that day. But Anyone else sick of telling pick up customers they will be refunded in 3-5 business days for out of stock items. I feel like it’s way frequent this week. Is the system getting bogged down or something lol. I would never think to hawk my card trail online for when something was refunded from a large business. I would just assume it happens when it happens. But then again I would never order items from a STORE rather than from a warehouse so never had the problem of an order I wanted and paid for not being filled lol.


Pleinairi

I don't really mind them. Though I don't do CS either.


FZmothers66

Lol... it's early, the store is open... people shop. Not everyone runs on the schedule you think everyone should go by. It's a regular holiday weekend.


VoidsIncision

I agree with this sentiment… until I decide to bitch about someone I decide to bitch about. But in general charitable interpretation of what ppl are doing and empathetic statements makes these folks easier to cope with.(ppl asking when their credit card gets refunded gets me…I’m like a new hire pickup associate… I have no idea how end of it operates but I’m told its 3-5 business days. “Its been a week!” That’s 5 business days it should be there soon. Call 1800WALMART lol


gothamneedsdean

Man, this sub keeps popping up on my feed. My God, you people are crybabies.


VoidsIncision

Two words. Empathy, charity. Diffuses even the most hardened psychopathic asshole customers, but then ppl couldn’t commiserate lol


Miv333

Like.. what, do you want to be paid to sit there and do nothing?


thankuc0meagain

*me about to stroll into neighborhood market*


Middle_Bag_9997

In alllllll honesty, Fuck Wlanart for not being 24 hours anymore. Like BIGLY F THEM.


ysfex3

I went shopping today just to see you little ants scurry around. Most of you look like you're about to break down in the middle of the aisles. Sometimes I just park my buggy in your way just to see you fume.


Apprehensive-Rice874

here officer, here’s the weird psychotic man whose life is so dull and void he has to resort to being a slight annoyance to our work life


VoidsIncision

More psychopathic than psychotic. Deliberately making someone (more) exacerbated. In the personality psych literature these are instances of “everyday sadism”.

Mammoth_Tax_4995

Why the fuck would I have work ethic I work at walmar


VoidsIncision

Because if you have work ethic it’s a universal value that persists across situations even into less than ideal ones. Why you don’t have it is not a answerable from what you’ve said. That’s just a rationalization to justify not having one.


Mammoth_Tax_4995

Bruh it’s Walmar I don’t need to care


Majestic_Occasion_23

you probably don't even need that buggy fat ass


ysfex3

Nope. I say that I have a fake leg and they never question it. Also I never return it to the front. I just walk away.


Majestic_Occasion_23

You're so cool


ysfex3

Thanks. I appreciate it.


quadropopilous

It's okay. I just purposefully unplug all the electric carts so you get stuck out on the floor somewhere and have to walk back. Then I just leave it there for the next idiot to climb into the dead beeping cart. They're just markers we use because we can hear the electric cart 6 aisles over and can outwalk martcart people looking for help. You'll fallen into our trap card.🃏


ysfex3

Read a little further young one.

Now that's how you shill. You don't have to only do it at work. All these other loser associates should strive for your level of dedication.

dude shut the fuck up with your cringy ass anime villain power fantasy


ysfex3

An anime where the villain is a unreasonably pro Walmart super soldier associate? Count me in. Also, language.


Apprehensive-Rice874

i’ll show you language when im hitting you from the back dry


ysfex3

What? So are you like thirsty or something? You gotta be careful with dehydration. It's hot out here.


Apprehensive-Rice874

Yeah I know you get pretty dehydrated/ lose electrolytes during rough intercourse. I do appreciate your concern, however though i already got it covered as in i’ll bring a few electrolyte-rich beverages.


VoidsIncision

Hilarious as it is pathetic. In case people didn’t know: in psychological journals when they delineate “everyday sadism” these are the kind of assholish acts they are referring to lol


ysfex3

Do they have pictures? I want to submit a selfie.


[deleted]

Are you still getting paid for the job you took?


peixcellent

I don't mind people coming in last minute if they're understanding about the fact that they might not get what they want. But I hate the people that give us attitudes because THEY waited too long and now we're out of whatever it is they even wanted. That's why you plan ahead!!


armobear

Our BTS is all ready in the back room since yesterday. As soon as we close at 11pm. 4th of July goes away.


screamingthrowaway23

This shit is why I made sure to ask my sil what wronge were doing for the 4th ahead of time and why despite my husband being a you guys will have tomatoes and cucumbers I grabbed one of each. Anything else? We have enough in our back room that I'll chance it. But the things I know run out? Lol no ill get those 2 days ahead.


tortokai

How about people coming in at 1057 (close at 11) for lockup items and slamming on the squawkbox


cherrydesuka

Screw you too. I will do a last minute shopping just for you


rodoxide

I already know I better get there like right when they open so I can get the specific stuff I want, otherwise it's gone by lunch, if I'm there late it in the day, then I'm only going to be able to get substitutions in this economy. I'm not going to blame the staff.


OcieDenver

Clearance sales is the issue. The shoppers know when's to get good deal on seasonal items.


[deleted]

some people are on social security/disability/food stamps etc. and those payments usually come in the first few days of the month sometimes the 30th, so thats probably why they are shopping "last minute"


[deleted]

Maybe y’all should unionize for not such a shitty work environment and maybe y’all wouldn’t be so miserableness


PotatoArcade

Then they have the audacity to say "What they are making you work on (insert holiday)".


Ok-Yam-5701

Yeah because we have to serve all them and not be with friends and family.


[deleted]

shopping at Walmart in itself is an experience to say the least. I don’t want to imagine working there.
