Would you get a wallmart type job?

OH---WOW, a WALLY WORLD THREAD!!!! I L O V E IT.
I have a close friend that has worked at wally world for 5 years now.
He keeps me up to date on the wally world circus.
The latest???
He told me (new law) that all Wal-Mart workers MUST only use the rest room
during one of their breaks. They get 2 - 15 min breaks and 1 meal break.

If they want or need to use the rest room outside their assigned break period, they
MUST bring a doctor’s note stating that they have some medical issue where
they may possibly need to use the rest room at other times. Some bladder issue,
or whatever. But a doctor’s note on file is "required" to use the rest room outside of
the break period.

I told my friend to let go and piss while checking out people, then sue Wal-Mart for the humiliation suffered due to pissing in front of customers.

Wal-Mart also controls the stores heating/cooling system via remote at the Wal-Mart national headquarters. So if it’s hot as hell in the store, only national headquarters can adjust the climate control. And naturally they seldom will do that for the suffering employees sweating and working in the heat.

I think this is one reason unions came into style.....

WTF haha lol wow.

Jesus... I knew WalMart sucked, but they're going above and beyond in the douchebaggery dept. :^S

I don't have an issue with the general idea of mega-retail, but I think I'd avoid WalMart. Shit like that^^^ is unbelievable.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Walmart takes out what is known as dead peasants insurance. If you have cancer, and a short time to live, they want you.

Not sure how much of this is true but this is walmart we are talking about so it would not surprise me, more I believe the bathroom than remote hq temp...

shit walmart ain't the only one pulling stupid shit like that. i worked for Lowe's one summer. they had the same rule. NO bathroom breaks unless its your break (for cashiers).

have heard other places trying to enforce it to. its damn near impossible though.


edit: why would HQ have acess over the store. considering the number of stores it has it would be damn impossible to keep track. i do kinda find that hard to believe

 

[Locut0s]

Doesn't exist.

Yeah I was going to say. Thankfully we don't have those up here yet. Sadly we do have Walmart

 

[Schadenfreude]

Gotta start somewhere. Do it while looking for a better job and drop it like a bad habit afterwards.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

I cant work for Walmart, I speak English.

I could believe it. They micromanage pennies, and as we've seen, it's paid off for them. I could see thm setting a temperature, and holding it to make expenses more predictable. Assuming it is true, they should place caps on the temps, but let the stores adjust in the economical direction(cooler in winter, warmer in summer...)

i can see locking each store in at a range.

how the OP said it though is they locked in all at the HC temp. wich wouldn't make any sense.

The times I've been in Walmart up here the employees seem to be disproportionately white actually. I see far more ethnicities in other retail jobs.

I've had like 10 starts it seems though lol.

Open up Craigslist, or whatever you guys have up there, and see what looks interesting. Ya never know, your dream job might there waiting for you.

Yeah we have Craigslist.

 

[Imp]

Don't bother unless you hate it. Everyone that works there doesn't smile, gives me attitude for saying "hi", and they project serious "FML".

Guess it must be a border thing. I am closer to Mexico than you are. I hear employees speaking to each other in Spanish EVERY time I go in one.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

I worked at a walmart for 3 weeks till I could find something a little better (substitute teaching). Yea, I also got pneumonia at the end of it so they probably would have fired me for not being able to come in for a couple of weeks anyway.

We already covered the fact that he lacks dick sucking abilities in the first 5 posts.
