During your time here, you will discover things that will astound you, bewilder you, or make you literally laugh so hard you can't breath. Such is life at Walmart #4476.
It is not unusual to/for:
- Be told that something that actually is your job, is NOT your job. Then be told to go in the back and do that same task, but for other departments.
- Hurry up because they need you in grocery.
- Witness an associate running with a shopping cart from the toy department to the pharmacy to deliver pharmacy freight...in a Captain America mask.
- Be assigned to the furniture department when you can't lift half the freight.
- Be called over the P.A. to go out and collect carts. This will only happen when it's below freezing outside.
- Find other departments' freight on your pallets.
- Be asked to bin dairy or frozen when you have a cold.
- The nearest bathroom is ALWAYS being cleaned at the time you need it most.
- Don't expect to get through the checkout line quickly during the first of the month. It'd be quicker to go to Wawa to get your orange juice on your midnight break.
- The McDonald's is notorious for not taking plastic. Don't bother if you don't have cash.
- Hear other associates busting into song while stocking the paper towels, namely, "I Believe I can Fly."
- The backroom associates to ambush a manager who's been promoted to co-manager with Silly String.
- Hear associates hollering at each other 'cause we don't carry walkies and thus need to compensate.
- Expect whoever's working chemicals to smell like Fabreeze at some point.
- You'll need a gas mask to stock the feminine products. That aisle is more pungent than the perfume aisle.
- Be looked down upon by the day shift. Regardless of the situation, it will ALWAYS be overnight's fault. I believe we even got blamed for the earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan.
Enjoy your stay.
