Life as a Wal-Mart Employee
The other day I was poking around the Associated Content forums and I don’t remember what the topic was but I brought up the fact that I once worked at Wal-mart and I thought, “Hey, there’s a topic I can write about!” So I thought I would share with you my experiences with Wal-Mart. That’s right I’m going places Geraldo would never dare to go.
- Those little old ladies at the door are evil!
- Put your buggy away!
- When you shop at Wal-mart look out for nails in the parking lot
The first Wal-mart was in a town called Rogers, Arkansas. I will always remember this because we had to watch a video and were quizzed later.

I'm not sure what you mean about sample email. but you can call 1800walmart. It never did me any good, but you can try. Ps if you don't work there your call will likely get someone in trouble. If you don wor there nothing will happen, nothing at all. When yo make a complaint, they ask your name, type it into their computer, then if it shows up as the name of an associate they ask if you work for walmart. If you say yes they will listen to what you have to say and do nothing abot it. Like the time no one would sell me insulin whe n my husband was goin into a coma in the car. It was 10 min. befor the pharmacy wa to open and she said she couldn't dispence intill they were open. Insulin isn't even a drug!! She told me she wasn't responsible for my husband making sure he didn't run out of insulin and I should go to the hospital. when I told her I wasn't from the and didn't know where the hoosital was she said to fallow the signs. My husband could have died, sh espent the 10 min. before op

I was half scared to get a job at wal-mart after some of the stuff I heard online. Stories of being locked in if you worked night shift and not getting out no matter what, poor pay, horrible bosses, having to be black to work, the "tough work" and long hours with no respect...all I can say is after a few weeks of working for wal-mart I've gotta say your all full of it, lol.
I worked at a stone shop working sometimes 10 hour days or worse, with 2 paid 15 min. breaks and 1 45 min. unpaid lunch, and a hourly pay of $9.25. WALMART...yes the dreaded walmart is starting me out at $10.00 an hr with 2 15 min. paid breaks and a hour long lunch just to stock boxes of food :O...(thats horrible :P)
Looking more into these "horrible people" I gotta say I can't see the evil. They offer a insurance plan starting at $9.99 a week, a 401k plan, they pay $.15 to the dollar for stocks up to the first $1,800 dollars, you get a 10% OFF card for walmart products, 10% off for glasses or eyewear, the

I'm tired of hearing all the poor employees cry and whine about their jobs, lack of pay lack of benefits, whaaaaaa cry me a river.
get an education, get a better job.
Walmart does not force you to work there, get off your lazy hind end and find another job.

Get a Degree and maybe you can be a manager too! That little kid you are referring to has one. Wal-Mart is only starting to hire managers with a education past highschool. If you dont like it there quit no one makes you work there. Still a free country.

well ive been working at walmart for 2 months now
so far my experiance is ok
The only things I see wrong is how favortism get you the overtime hours
or How dumb asses are made dept or asst managers
another thing I see is that they have alot of managers but few leaders
its like for every five associate theres a mannager of some sort
I also noticed how they use the manager title for supervisors to confuse the customers
