Hi, One of my store's overnight receivers switched to day shift, leaving a hole in our team. The overnight TLs have been taking turns covering the 2 nights a week when we don't have a receiver, but you can probably imagine how they feel about having to do so. A BR TL asked me if I was...

People do the same at my store. I ride a bicycle a few miles to work 4 days a week, no matter the weather. I don't judge though...I've called in for dumb reasons once or twice.

TTOTM: I consider you a friend. You're a great guy and a hard worker. But I DO NOT want you calling TLs on the radio and asking where you should send me! Do you have any idea how that makes me feel? First, you are not a Team Lead, so stop pretending. The actual TLs are getting sick of you...

Ours is kept clean. We have a big TV, decent vending machines, 3 fridges, a Keurig, microwaves, utensil drawers that are kept stocked, and big windows. I never go in there unless I need a soda or cheap snack though. I work overnight, so everyone takes their break at the same time. The room is...

I do various things. It just depends on what kind of mood I'm in. I talk in what sounds like a mixture of Klingon and pig-Latin on my phone as loudly as possible, especially when I'm in a crowded checkout line. I spend hours trying on clothes, and instead of bringing the ones I won't buy to...

To the loose assortment of dimwitted mouth-breathers who make work more difficult for everyone else (otherwise known as the flow team): I can take the laziness, the stupidity, the crappy attitudes, the constant complaining... I just consider it part of my job now. "Oh look, flow team screwed...

To every team member scheduled to work tomorrow: Please don't call in sick, it'll just make things more difficult for the rest of us.

I completely agree with you. And when I said this wasn't the first time the man had done something like this, I meant the woman wasn't his first victim. It's his 2nd that I know of, but I'm sure I'd find more if I asked around. Unfortunately, she's not going to take it any further unless he...

One of the women who works in our backroom was sexually harassed and bullied with racist slurs recently. The offender didn't even get a slap on the wrist. The woman, however, was told to "Just stay away from him", as if it was somehow her fault. This isn't even the first time the man has done...

Me: "Oh good, they sent me help. Do you know your way around in the backroom?" You: "Yeah, for the most part." Me: "Great! Here, take these carts. Basically, just scan a toy and look at the fill group. If it says Toy 1, put it in that aisle. Toy 2, that aisle, and toy 3 goes in that...

I work overnight; we have our huddle right before lunch break. It's not too bad. It takes 5 - 10 minutes, the info given is useful about half the time, and it's always nice when they recognize people for working hard.

Our store will be open all night on Thanksgiving/Black Friday, and I'll be working overnight as usual. I don't really mind. I don't have family, and my girlfriend will probably spend the holiday with her brother and his family. It's one of my least favorite holidays anyway, and I'll be able...

I came in at 9:30, and the backroom was packed with overfilled pallets, flats and carts. I spent a half hour clearing enough room for us to do grocery pulls, and just as I finished, some jerk pushed more back stock carts right into the area I just cleared. So we finally started pulling...

To that one team member... No one cares how they did it at Walmart. No one cares that you got more breaks at Walmart, or that they let you smoke outside on your breaks. Trust me, if a sentence has the word "Walmart" in it, chances are that no one wants to hear it. If all Walmart employees are...

Hi, new forum member here. :) I've been working overnights at a Super Target for almost 3 months now. I was originally hired as a flow team member, which was interesting because the guy who trained me spoke 3 words of English, so I mostly figured things out myself. After around a month on...
