Stories About Walmart: Post 2

      Looking back, that is one of the most boring stories of my experiences at Walmart. I know that if I were just your typical customer, I would've been a little freaked out, but as a cashier, that was my first experience at the register.
      On my first night working at Walmart, I was asked where the condoms were, and of course my response was, "next to the tampons, sir". There had also been another another time where someone asked me where the condoms were, although it was a creepier experience. I was with a male associate just chatting while he and I stocked the shelves, and I had seen a guy walk by several times.
      He acted like he wanted to ask a question. He looked at my associate several times as he kept walking by. A few seconds later he came up to me instead of my associate he had been eyeing at, and asked where the condoms were. I didn't catch what he said, but didn't need to hear him because my coworker interrupted and showed him where they were.
      Thankfully my coworker knew that this guy was a psycho so he took him off my hands for me. So it was good to have a fellow coworker look out for me.
      Of course that experience happened when I used to stock the shelves, which was never a super tense situation as a cashiering job is.
      One of the last times I stocked, I was labeling some overstock items and I happened to be in front of the electronics department. There was a lady holding a huge thirst buster thermos, and was searching in the window curtain aisle.
      "Excuse me, ma'am?" she said to me while she was across the aisle. "Are these the only curtains you guys carry?"
      I got up and went over to where she was. "Yes, I believe everything on the wall is what we have," I said politely.
      "Are you serious? Wow......, that's really disappointing. Well, thank you anyways," she said with a snooty attitude.
      I shook it off and didn't think much of it and continued with my work. She eventually ended up walking her upside-down pear hips over to electronics.
      She started looking at movies and eventually went over to one of the more experienced guys working over there at that moment and asked about a particular movie. I couldn't really hear exactly what she was asking for but I did hear her ask if they could call the surrounding areas Walmart's if they had this particular item she was asking for. I heard him say, "yeah, hold on," and walk over to the phone on the electronics desk.
      The lady then walks over to him at the desk and they exchanged a few words and all of a sudden I hear voices getting louder.
      "Watch your language, ma'am!" the guy said to her.
      "I'm just showing my frustration!"
      "Okay, well you can show your frustration buy you don't need to curse at me!"
      "I'm not cursing at you, sir!" she said to him as she continued to cuss.
      "Okay, I'm done trying to talk to you. There are 38,000 different titles we hold and we're not supposed to memorize every single one," the guy explained to her.
      "Well you should know!"
      The guy threw his arms up in the air and said,"have a good day ma'am," and went back to what he was doing.
      "Ya whatever, you too!" she said stomping down my aisle. She walked down a little bit and turned back around and came towards me and said, "Ma'am, could you put this back for me, seeing that you're working this department?"
      "Of course," I said politely.
      She started walking down the aisle again but quickly turned around again.
      "Ma'am, how do I get out of here? Because they have that other aisle blocked off."
      I had remembered that maintenance was waxing the floors on one of the major aisles near my department. But I did ask myself, how did you get here in the first place bitch? They've been waxing the floors all night.
      "Walk all the way down to pharmacy and turn right," I replied pointing.
      She thanked me and left, thank god. I eventually found out that she was with a group of men who were drunk, so they got kicked out as well as the lady.

Stories About Walmart: Post 1

      In mid-October, It was one of my first nights of cashier training at Walmart. I had previously been a stocker for four months and the night managers thought it would be better for me to be a cashier so of course  I had to do it.
      So I was cashiering at register 18 out of 19 registers. The 19th register was the cigarette counter, or the "home" of all the registers. Since my back was facing the 19th register, I could only hear what was going on behind me.
      One guy had come into my line, an older gentleman, and asks me if he could do returns in my line; and me not knowing how to do returns, I referred him to go to register 19. He made his way over to 19 and I could hear him greeting someone he knew.
      Every now and then, I would tune into their conversation because they went from talking about dogs and what they were buying/returning, to sports. I don't really remember why they were there for so long but I rounded it up to waiting for the returns and purchases and just chatting.
      After about ten minutes, I was getting to a break point of customers, and quickly went to listening to the two men behind me.
      "Hey, I wasn't talking to you! I was talking to her!" one of the guys had said, talking about the girl ringing them up.
      "Whoa! Whoa guys! Just calm down, it's okay," the girl had said to them, but thankfully they had ignored her because as a cashier, or an associate in general, we're supposed to keep calm and composed and not show any alarm to a customer and keep out of people's arguments until it becomes physical.
      "I'll meet you outside and we'll settle this there!" the other guy had yelled out. One guy went and left first and then about 30 seconds later the other man followed. Soon after he was walking out the door, the night manager and CSS manager went outside to make sure nothing bad would happen.
      Since me and the other cashier girl didn't have any customers at the time, I went over to her and asked what made them so pissed at each other?
      "I have no idea," she replied. "First they were talking about dogs and one of them noticed my 49ers lanyard and started talking about sports."
      In conclusion, they were fighting over sports. I thought it was hilarious, just because they were two old guys and obviously that's the only thing that wakes them up in the morning!

Dresses

      I had bought two dresses, and asked some people for their opinion on which one I should wear to a wedding on Saturday, and went with the red and black one!

Flowers!

      My honey got me these flowers for our anniversary!

I Got A New Hair Cut!

Happy Anniversary!

      It's officially been a year that I've been with my boyfriend! Of course we've had our ups and downs but that's just what makes a relationship interesting. I love you so much, Honey!

Before I Worked At Walmart

      Okay so this picture was taken before I got a job at Walmart and my brother and I were perusing the store and came across this idiocy. Pretty funny though.

It's Been A While, But I'm Back!

      So, it's been a while but I've been trying to find something to write about, and boy do I have stuff to write about...

      I just got a job in June working at Walmart. My first job ever and I've already been working in so many different departments. I asked to work on the night shift because I'm naturally a night person, so why not work at night? When I first started working there, I started out stocking the shelves and after a while they didn't think I was doing to well and not going fast enough so they moved me around to electronic security and cashiering, which I did not want to do in the first place.

      To me, I wanted to be in a secluded job and just do it and be done and not have to deal with a lot of people, but now that I'm a cashier, I have to deal with all sorts of people coming in and out of Walmart at three in the morning. Boy do I have to deal with some weird people. Stories will be posted up soon to give you a taste of what I deal with. Well just to give you a quick taste, here's a typical find at Walmart...
