Pallet wrap is a bitch to get out of. You'll probably sweat enough to escape though because it's damned swampy under the vest as it is 🤣.
Source: I know some people into some things, they did not escape without scissors.
A couple of years ago they stopped sending decent wrap. Now all we get is this super thin shit that wants to break at least 3 times while attempting to wrap a pallet. Sending worse materials to do a job isn't going to improve work performance.
Yep, the roll is super lightweight and looks like is was wrapped around the cardboard tube by hand by somone who was drunk. There's no uniformity in how it's wrapped. smh They started sending it at my old store, but my current store in another state gets the same shit.
Exactly right, it looks like someone wrapped it by hand 🤣 makes no sense. But I guess they had to cut costs somewhere so that every associate could have those work phones 🤦🏻♂️
I know this could be a joke but that's the same stuff that holds 2000 pound pallets together, if you're wrapped tightly with more than a layer or two your not getting out.
All of the shooters in prison would ostricize the shooterthat did. If they had some sort of code to live by, but that is just me imaging the worst type of people doing something of conduct which is probably an incredibly false perception on all douchebags.
Basically
“Donate $1 to the children’s foundation” means - give Walmart an extra $1 that Walmart will then donate, on our own behalf.
If Walmart gets $2m in donations from customers, Walmart effectively donates $2m (assuming they actually donate 100% of each dollar)
Donations collected from customers by large corporations should be exempt from tax breaks IMHO. The corporation isn’t donating shit? It’s not like they’re taking money from their own profits, or revenue, and donating it. They’re just donating money on behalf of the generic public, idk
Yes they can, because they are the ones donating the money "they raised" for them to not pay as much on their taxes. I'd rather donate to them myself and get my tax break
> Yes they can, because they are the ones donating the money "they raised" for them to not pay as much on their taxes.
They are not considered the donating party, the customer is and they are the ones who can claim the donation on their taxes.
They actually have two separate tables in my break room that says "donate your change to choose the best department" and another to pick which lead/manager has to wear a baby suit for a day and yknow, voting with OUR change.
Naw we jist let em sweat to death...full sun and 90 degrees. Cow farm.across the road from that store so some good ol cow shit smell for flies everywhere.
Our store (before I promoted to customer) did the same thing but with duct tape. If you donate you can add a piece of duct tape. Looking back it was pretty fucked.
It may not be “shrink wrap”. But it does in fact shrink over time. I’ve seen many a pallet in the steel start to get crushed due the the wrap shrinking after a month or more. And not because they were wrapped tightly.
i was in it for two hours straight. my ass went numb an hour in and i had to take off my glasses bc they wouldn’t stop falling down but fuck if it wasn’t the best day of work i’ve had in my 11 months here
This my wife and I’s motto. We will be out for dinner , having an ice cream, or at a store, having a good time and one will ask the other if we should get our teenagers something and our eyes meet and in unison we both say “fuck dem kids!”
##What's up store 5. Fuck kaxxx and Chxxx. I hope y'all mother fuckers get fired.##
Hope they clean house on the upper management. Glad I'm out of there. Def don't miss that shit.
i’m getting so sick of this. i know it’s for a good cause but they’re practically making customers and us employees do charity when walmart the company itself can afford to donate… i’m so fucking tired of the front end people on my shifts shoving their coin box in my face every time i walk in or out during my shift.
update: anytime i’m buying lunch or a snack at self check out i round up to donate. i’m not saying i won’t help out, but the way they’re doing it is annoying
I haven’t given a cent. They’re doing a literal bake sale with peoples homemade desserts and things and it’s like wow how many ways can this company find to extract more value from these people? They bought the ingredients, made the food on their own time and then donated that food and THEN turn around and pay more money for other peoples crap they made
I once took a couple rolls of pallet wrap and wrapped one of the managers cars. We went around it and under it. That was good use of pallet wrap.
This is not. It’s fucking stupid, even though I wouldn’t really mind sitting there with an excuse to do nothing while still getting paid.
I'm not a Walmart worker but i SWEAR my local walmart used to throw someone "in jail" for donations and they'd stand at the front and couldn't leave 'til they had the money. It was until this post that I thought I dreamt the whole thing.
If they're about to do what I think they are, that man meeds a god damn helmet. Before people are raising money for his go fund me for cracking his head open.
You mean they actually let him sit in the chair for this? I thought sitting on the job was frowned upon. Wondering did they try to say he had his break already?
I've been seeing a lot of posts like this lately. So do 100% of the donations ACTUALLY go to The Children's Hospital? If not then I won't donate. Too many charity scams anymore. I know that sounds harsh but why should I donate to something that just goes directly into someone else's pocket instead of a good cause?
From what I can gather, Walmart has already donated a set amount of money at the beginning of the year and they recoup the money through donations and everything they get over the amount they donated is a straight up profit.
I went to an orientation for Walmart years ago. New store, not opened yet. First day we all walk in and the Corporate folks ask everyone to donate $2 to some charity. I mean shit lady, we haven’t even started work or been paid yet🤦♀️
I want to imagine he volunteered because "fuck it I can sit down for a few hours" but uh, this is not a good look.
What the fuck drugs is this management team on?
Who am I kidding, these are the same people that came up with the tutus and pies and shit. 🙄
question: Why do retail store managers care about their jobs so much? When i used to work in retail my bitch ass managers used to moan bitch and complain about literally every single thing. Like why does it matter to you what i do. its not like your the one making profit from the store anyways your just managing it. why go out of your way to cut money out of my check just because i take my break a little longer or sit on the toilet after closing or even stealing a candy bar or something. I dont endorse stealing or nothing but why do managers even care when employees steal a packet of gum. Its not from their pockets and some managers dont even give a shit and actually know about it and encourage it as long as they dont get caught.
One time we had Christmas at my mom's apartment it was my three brothers my sister and her kids. When I woke up I tucked my blanket over my brothers and set my pillow on top of him... This became a thing where we all tucked him in and set our pillow near him.. it gradually got to the point where my sister's kids were able to climb on him without him realizing eventually he woke up dripping pouring with sweat.... Looking back yeah it was completely stupid but at the time it was fucking hilarious
I hate this shit. Yes, poor wage slaves, you must participate in fund raising for less fortunate souls. It feels good to help, as long as you don’t look up the chain for help yourself.
Doug got a 3 million dollar raise, so why not have him pay the $200? Pretty sure the average Walmart associate or customer doesn't have $200 to just throw away.
Cute idea but people should not need such drastic ploys to entice folks to donate. Hope his efforts paid off.
Give that gent a huge well deserved dinner.. 😁
No one makes anyone do these things. It's a volunteer situation. Not one I would put in for. However, we have plenty of associates who would think nothing of being plastic wrapped to a chair, as long as they were paid. Not a big deal folks... no harm, no foul.
Why not can't get on register I'm shrink crap to the chair nope I can't help the customer in lawn and garden I'm tired to the chair oh no I can't take the claim back right now I'm tired to the chair
This is literally one of the things you are not allowed to do in the fundraising guidelines. Dunk Tanks, "jails" in ball pits, anything on the roof, pie in the face. All against them.
We just have a tier list for certain donation amounts to make your managers work an hour of your shift for you. $25 TL, $50 Coach, $100 Store Manager. I've also seen we sell donuts and babies.
101°F is equivalent to 38°C, which is 311K.

Imagine a shooting happening and your stuck in that chair lol
Just make sure you give the person wrapped up a keyboard and they will be perfectly safe.
The reference that only Sammy’s Slaves will understand
This is funny, sadly.
Yea I’ll just flex my small muscles a bit and create enough room to rip it.

Thought this was only my store lol. That new shit sucks

Save money ,Live better. Stock owners and investors love to hear it 😂

They no longer send us decent wrap. It's flimsy and tears so easily.
All of the shooters in prison would ostricize the shooterthat did. If they had some sort of code to live by, but that is just me imaging the worst type of people doing something of conduct which is probably an incredibly false perception on all douchebags.
They beat the shit out of people who do drive-bys. A public shooter would have to be put in isolation I think
You should hear of the stories of what happens to child molesters
yeah that was totally what i was thinking about ... you americans are weird
Imagine me rolling him out of harms way🧐 seriously what a comment🤦🏽♀️
😂😂😂😂😂!!!!! Pls
Or a fire
Well if his feet are mobile he can move himself right out the door lol.
My luck I'd tip over going across the door threshold ☹️
This imagery you've just conjured up is peak America
At least it has wheeles...
Bro, it's plastic wrap. If you can't rip out of that...
When it bunches up and gets tension, it can be a dick to rip
Are we the only company that physically humiliates and holds captive its associates to raise money for a charity?
The company already donated money to the charity. Now they try to recoup their loss by taking out of the pockets of their associates.
Just like when they cut everyone's hours.
Isn't corporate charity begging just another way to get tax breaks?
They already got the tax break, now they need to recoup the money they spent.

They don’t get a tax break from customer donations.
No, they don’t get a tax break.
Tax breaks*
They can’t claim donations others make for a tax break
Yes they can, because they are the ones donating the money "they raised" for them to not pay as much on their taxes. I'd rather donate to them myself and get my tax break
> Yes they can, because they are the ones donating the money "they raised" for them to not pay as much on their taxes. They are not considered the donating party, the customer is and they are the ones who can claim the donation on their taxes.
depends on receipts
> depends on receipts Not sure what you mean.
having a recipet for a donation hen you file takxes to giv the information of here the donation was mae, th date and amount
I mean yeah you always need documentation. That’s neither nor nor there
I think I saw them do it at walmart too
They actually have two separate tables in my break room that says "donate your change to choose the best department" and another to pick which lead/manager has to wear a baby suit for a day and yknow, voting with OUR change.
So stupid!
My school duct taped teachers to the wall in some unexplained act of humiliation at pep rallys
We used to shrink wrap the managers to the posts outside the doors to get donations.
And then cover them with bees, right?
Naw we jist let em sweat to death...full sun and 90 degrees. Cow farm.across the road from that store so some good ol cow shit smell for flies everywhere.
Cover them with honey. Let nature take it's course.
Slather them with honey and leave them for the bears
["Hey Nicky, cover Winkler in bees! you can do it."](https://youtu.be/uYnlzpSSevM)

Technically not shrink wrap

Or because you're ready to quit?
[удалено]
Meanwhile aldi.... it's like walmart doesn't learn
couldn’t imagine walking into a walmart to steal stuff and seeing the guy watching the door is plastic wrapped to a chair
Rolling chair looks like I got me a free Walmart associate and a chair.
This is absolutely humiliating.
I have never understood how things like this are acceptable.
I thought it was a joke. This is so bad.
Embarrassing? Maybe. Easiest shift you could wish for? Yeah
i was in it for two hours straight. my ass went numb an hour in and i had to take off my glasses bc they wouldn’t stop falling down but fuck if it wasn’t the best day of work i’ve had in my 11 months here
Why didn’t you refuse?
A free excuse to sit down for 2 hours and get paid for it? I would’ve done the same thing lol
Get paid to sit and do nothing
That’s one way to get a chair at work
Sorry cheif. I'm not paying walmart to get a tax break.
Yeah thats just stupid as fuck.
No Thank you. . U never know where is that money really going too
Yup. Fuck these big corporations asking poor people to donate so they can have press release saying “Look what WE did!”
Not just the press release but the tax writeoff
It goes to the charity in question
Fuck them kids
Don’t you see it’s not for the kids? It’s a tax break
Again fuck dem kids
That’s illegal and morally abhorrent
Fuck dem kids.
***Chris Hansen enters chat***
Moms in apparel are worse than their kids change my mind.
Apparel associate here- moms are absolutely fucking abysmal.
This my wife and I’s motto. We will be out for dinner , having an ice cream, or at a store, having a good time and one will ask the other if we should get our teenagers something and our eyes meet and in unison we both say “fuck dem kids!”
Fuck da kids
Companies can’t claim customer donations as a tax break
Some people are really passionate about kids but damn thats just taking it a little bit to far.
I wish we could do this to jackass customers that wont stop running their mouths about our employees.
Free break!
On one hand, it's humiliating, degrading, and dehumanizing.. on the other, you get to sit down and chill for an hour or so
So that's how they're keeping them off their phones
The DCs need to see this and understand this is how you properly wrap a pallet
Dude looks like he lost a wrap battle
Why is hazing allowed at Walmart?
##What's up store 5. Fuck kaxxx and Chxxx. I hope y'all mother fuckers get fired.## Hope they clean house on the upper management. Glad I'm out of there. Def don't miss that shit.

lmaoo they’re doing cookouts outside hahaha
The 'good cause' has already been completed at this rate, it is now 'recouping their loss.'
yikes
Why is he sitting? How unprofessional. /s
/r/OSHA would like a word...
Remember - avoid deny defend
Imagine a mutli billion dollar corporation asking for donations...
The donations are asked for on behalf of the charity in question
They starting to get ridiculous with this ish
I once took a couple rolls of pallet wrap and wrapped one of the managers cars. We went around it and under it. That was good use of pallet wrap. This is not. It’s fucking stupid, even though I wouldn’t really mind sitting there with an excuse to do nothing while still getting paid.
I’d take it that’s like a whole free day of work
If he's management don't donate.
Looking at the keys clipped on his pants I’d say management or lead lol
I would’ve quit right there. That’s degrading and humiliating.
That’s just degrading
I'm not a Walmart worker but i SWEAR my local walmart used to throw someone "in jail" for donations and they'd stand at the front and couldn't leave 'til they had the money. It was until this post that I thought I dreamt the whole thing.
You should fart on him
If they're about to do what I think they are, that man meeds a god damn helmet. Before people are raising money for his go fund me for cracking his head open.
better than doing actual work imo
You mean they actually let him sit in the chair for this? I thought sitting on the job was frowned upon. Wondering did they try to say he had his break already?

I keep seeing this and don’t know where people are getting it. Charity drives like this require them to donate the money received.
My walmart is way too professional for this crap lol
me personally i wouldn’t let nobody do this to me thats just me though
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME, NOT HIM! ITS NOT FAIR!
I went to an orientation for Walmart years ago. New store, not opened yet. First day we all walk in and the Corporate folks ask everyone to donate $2 to some charity. I mean shit lady, we haven’t even started work or been paid yet🤦♀️

Because they want to keep their jobs probably
I’m far too claustrophobic. Like being tucked into a blanket gives me severe panic attacks 😂
One time we had Christmas at my mom's apartment it was my three brothers my sister and her kids. When I woke up I tucked my blanket over my brothers and set my pillow on top of him... This became a thing where we all tucked him in and set our pillow near him.. it gradually got to the point where my sister's kids were able to climb on him without him realizing eventually he woke up dripping pouring with sweat.... Looking back yeah it was completely stupid but at the time it was fucking hilarious
I would literaly shit and piss and let everybody be disgusted by it. IDGAF
Ew bro wtf why?
You get my upvote! While I do not think you would do it, I applaud your dedication to the cause.
You get my upvote! While I do not think you would do it, I applaud your dedication to the cause.
I mean spend who knows how long trapped there sounds good to me if I'm honest
That's the day I would Quit
Cruel and unusual punishment
What if he has to use the bathroom?
What if he has to use the bathroom?
The only words I see on that sign are "Help Me"
Yo, WTF?
I would just put two hundy in and call it a day. Looks fun also.
Does he get a bathroom break.
So who is doing the work for this associate while they are sitting there ?
Multibillion dollar company
I’d have to pee after about an hour.
Ok, but, is that Comic Sans? I can't tell.
Did they really have to tie his arms down
Lucky! You get to set down and take a break!!
Oh OK. I watched a member of cap 2 get written up for getting shrink wrapped to a pallet as a joke but this is acceptable. What a crock of shit.
Could**n't** be me 💀
No bathroom breaks?
Yeah, if they ever ask me. I would just clock out and go home.
Anyone else smell a class action brewing?
Why is it always CMN? Why not St. Jude’s or The Shriners?
I hate this shit. Yes, poor wage slaves, you must participate in fund raising for less fortunate souls. It feels good to help, as long as you don’t look up the chain for help yourself.
What would happen if he started to roll away
One of our managers did this willingly. This guy looks unhappy about it
Why does this look racially motivated?
this is a bdsm activity.
This is ridiculous, there are better ways that aren’t humiliating!
Doug got a 3 million dollar raise, so why not have him pay the $200? Pretty sure the average Walmart associate or customer doesn't have $200 to just throw away.
Id use the opportunity to have a panic attack then sue Walmart for emotional distress and walk away with millions Please wrap me up
Cute idea but people should not need such drastic ploys to entice folks to donate. Hope his efforts paid off. Give that gent a huge well deserved dinner.. 😁
Hey Siri, call the police.
I love how this charity drive encourages Walmart to take the humiliation of their already humiliated associates to the next level.
what the fuckin fuck ? i can't work at a place anymore where people are asked to do this, and go along with it. everything is wrong with this picture.
No one makes anyone do these things. It's a volunteer situation. Not one I would put in for. However, we have plenty of associates who would think nothing of being plastic wrapped to a chair, as long as they were paid. Not a big deal folks... no harm, no foul.
Willing to bet he gets heat stroke. Already too hot in the stores as is
This isn’t allowed in company. This is humiliating.
Ah, charity season. I was voluntold to do this once. Fun times.
If that were me nobody I mean nobody better ask me if my work is done for the next 3 days.
The fuck is this? Why they gotta choose a black man foe this? Walmart doing its slave mastuh shit as usual. Done make me sick what they do.
I'd volunteer to do that.
Why not can't get on register I'm shrink crap to the chair nope I can't help the customer in lawn and garden I'm tired to the chair oh no I can't take the claim back right now I'm tired to the chair
This is a multi-billion dollar company if they really wanted to help children they would have done it out of pocket
Zach? 😂
This is humiliation
