Being a Walmart Employee

* SHELBY RANT WARNING*
I have been wanting to do this post for a while now and have put a lot of thought into this. The only thing that has stopped me was school and other things in my life. Now that i am caught up in my schoolwork and the BF is at work I now have time.

I find it ironic that i chose to do this today because it marks 3 months at Walmart. Thankfully I am not at a Super Walmart or this might be a longer post.

So While i have worked these past three months I have been put on the opposite side of the register. I told myself that i never wanted to work at Walmart. That i would be in a better place then to work there. But as life has it i am.. I have a few points that i want to go over.

Point 1. How we get treated by Customers: As any other job we have our ups and downs. I cant say that mine mostly consists of downs but pretty damn close.
1A. Dont ever blame the Cashier for the wrong price coming up. I dont know every single price in the store. If it is different on the tag than it is ringing up i would have no idea unless i get told about it all the time.
1B. IF you have a preference on how your items need to be bagged than either do it yourself or tell me otherwise leave me the hell alone. I  know not to put anything on top of the bread or something heavy on the eggs. I know to double bag the cans and the 2 liters of soda pop you are buying.
1C. I have to put your cart/basket if you leave it just siting there. You are walking that way anyway so do us underpaid workers a break and put it away.  
1D Alcohol and Tobacco buyers under 40 show me your damn ID read the signs that i have to and dont give me shit about it because it is WALMART policy not Shelby policy.
1E. I know that there is nothing on the belt then the next items are yours. If the person is paying i dont need a divider between me and your stuff.

2. Price Matching: Where Customers Save Money And supposedly live better.
2A. I know when you are lying to me! When  you try price matching a card that is $4 for $1... ummm no i cant do it without proof. I can tell when you wait till you see the price on the screen and come up with one on the spot.
2B Tell me all your price matches before i scan them and when i ask you if you have any. Especially if you have like 10 of the same thing then i have to void them all and start over.
2C If  you are getting multiple flavors of something please organize them. If not then quit complaining how slow i am being.
2D  Dont tell me all of them at once. Unless i have a memory that i didnt know about then i cant remember 20 at once once i get to them and then you can tell me.
2E Please put them all together and not randomize them it will go quicker for the both of us.


Thank you for all the customers that actually are thinking and nice when i am helping you.
