Many of the items on the shelves at Walmart come from the same company that carry the brand names. Same thing in Mexico BTW. Mexico carries [not all] medications that are manufactured in the US. It's just the packaging that's in Spanish that's different. Many items in the grocery section labeled as their brand, Great Value, come from the same facility that processes the brand name.

This is feels like a hit piece by a competitor. I also cause BS on most of this video. Half of the teens in our town work for Walmart as a first job. As far as sales go sales have been planned by ALL stores! 🙄 Sale prices on different items happen on a six week cycle in almost ALL grocery stores. Maybe they put out clearance items where you don’t see them because a bunch of hodgepodge stuff semi-grouped together is not an attractive display?? This is a HUGE store so most of these problems are at EVERY STORE so maybe it’s more noticeable in a larger area than in a smaller store. And if you think a $60 bookshelf is made of something other than particle board you are the one with a problem!!😂😂I mean seriously if you buy furniture at Walmart you are more likely buying for a tween, teen or a college student parent or student yourself looking for a cheap piece to get you through school or for your first apartment not something that is high quality and built to last for generations. That kind of furniture comes later on for the majority of people. My gosh what do you expect for the price?? Think IKEA lite :) Furniture at Walmart is there it’s cheap it’s convenient and eventually will be left sitting on the side of the road for another poor college student to pick up and reuse while they’re in school! LOL 😆 Also I see more women working at Walmart than men at every store. It may just be a me thing, but my husband agrees that you tend to see mostly women working there. Think of the bakery …when you walk up is it a man or a woman? We see about 50/50 in the “weapon” section… For us it’s usually a woman if you wanna ask someone how much different fruit and/or vegetables are. If you stand at the end of the row of cashiers in stores that still use them, they were always huge rows of women at Christmas time like 10-15 female cashiers working side-by-side and a teenage boy bagging your groceries and other items. This is the most ridiculous video I’ve ever seen to say bad things about a company it really is laughable!! If you expect the highest quality furniture for the cheapest price you get what you pay for and you should know it… but their fruit and veg section is usually high-quality for great prices so again I called BS on this video!!😆😆😆

The worst things I experienced while working at Walmart were: 1. They stretch you to your breaking point. Every week I was expected to run electronics, photo lab, connection center, fabric table, office & furniture, and site to store by myself. They also asked me to learn how to mix paint and I said no and ended up not getting a raise that year. 2. Assistant mangers are lazy. They always cave to angry customers and never back up the employee. One time I went looking for an assistant manager because I needed help and they weren’t responding on the walkie-talkie and found one giving another a back massage…eew. 3. They incentivize selling Walmart credit cards 4. Different job codes are expected to do the same work, but the pay is different. For example, the connection center job code pays more than the electronics job code, but both positions were expected to do each others jobs. My husband worked at a distribution center. 1. If pallets of produce fell on the warehouse floor, they’d just pick it up and restack it and load it on the trucks for delivery (wash your produce! I keep a water bottle of vinegar next to my sink for this reason) 2. They wouldn’t let an employee go home sick and then refused to get medical help when that employee suffered an emergency because management didn’t want to lose the title of “#1 Safety DC award”. That employee now has permanent brain damage. 5. In lieu of a bonus during 2020, they handed out a case of Top Ramen instead.

As for the firearm area. You have to be certified to be allowed to sell them. I know this because I work there. And not just anyone can get certified, they will do a check on youat least in my store they do. As for being a male dominant area, my store is not that way. We have more female leaders than male overall.... mainly cause what I've been told we get shhhhh done and are more likely to make sure it's right so it's not too be redone as the male in my store spend more time yaking and not stacking. As for the harassment part, ethics dept takes things super serious and even using the wrong pronoun, if it offended someone can get you fired, trust me, almost for fired for saying she instead of he by mistake when congratulating someone on their marriage and it offended someone and I was almost fired for using it. And Sundays is when most of our clearances drop in our system and we have to approve and tag every item that falls into that system, so many will hit us up on Sunday afternoons or Mondays, food is done first thing in the morning. In my dept I allow my associates to do it a day early if we have a lot of backstock of that item

In Sporting goods, I stocked the amo and sold firearms as well as selling hunting and fishing licenses along with all the add ones, ie: for river, or ocean. Big game add ones etc. I didn't have to be certified back then. I just had to be very careful filling out the paperwork, and verifying the customer, down to everything had to be in black ink.

They can just do it online, have it delivered free, or they can pick it up at the local store within 14 days - giving them time to rest and relax. Walmart and I separated years ago.

Saying Walmart's products are cheaper then other companies and therefore not as good as higher priced stores is like saying a Ford Escort isn't as good as a Porsche; duh that is why you pay ten times more, you're paying for the higher quality elsewhere. The point is you know your not getting the best product, but your getting the best product for the price your willing to pay for what your using it for. And I know people who have worked for Walmart before and they don't hire and discriminate against anyone any more or less then any other low paying jobs, and they get sued more then most because they are the largest retailer in the world so it only makes sense some employees aren't going to be happy wherever they work and the bigger you are the more you get by size.

I worked 17 years at Walmart. Started at the bottom and worked my way up to Assistant Manager. I love the company, and I would say some, but not all of these things are true. Criminals, whether for theft, violence, or sexual assault all have to acknowledge that they have a criminal record when applying. Their background checks will be flagged if there is a problem. Price changes drop in bulk per department, and the manager for that area has till Friday to complete them. Many times, it take a couple of day to get through them if you're in charge of several departments. Discounted food happen every morning between 6am and 9am. The bakery puts theirs on a rack a wheels it to the back of the grocery aisles hoping shoppers will purchase fresh products before trying day old ones. The deli and meat market and produce reduced items stay on the shelf with reduced yellow tags on them, usually 50 to 75% off. Items will also be reduced if they've been discontinued. Most walmarts will have 3 clearance sections: 1 in grocery, 1 in electronics and the largest near the hardware/garden departments.

Mind you, there are other clearance areas like in clothing and sometimes just individual items where they are trying to keep shelves looking somewhat full. Once a season they pull out tables, U-boats, boxes, etc to get rid of bulk items that are clearance, like shoes, clothing, brands that were replaced, etc in the center aisles where it can be a tripping hazard to get around.

Retailers that sell under their own store name usually have a deal with outside manufacturers who agree to make the product for the retailer in addition to selling product under their real name, too. I can't say if Walmart does that, but it seems likely. The only company that I know makes something themselves is Costco, when it comes to their hot dogs. They built their own hot dog making plant so that they could let customers have a cheap meal after shopping at their store. I happened across that in a video about them a number of months ago and it only applies to their hot dogs. The CEO demanded it. Sears appliances were always contracted out to another company and you could just ask them who made their washing machines, e.g. and they would tell you.

We are starting to see "surge" pricing at retailers and groceries, where the price changes from when you picked it off the shelf to when you pay for it at the register. They are hoping you don't notice when things are scanned and you pay more than you expected. True bait and switch style sales.

Aldi prices are better than Walmart. Walmart doesn't have much organic food anyway. Their other company Sam's Club has a lot of organic food and that is where I usually buy it. Walmart also has 2.1 million associates worldwide, with about 1.6 million in the United States so I don't doubt there will be some issues with a work force of that size. A lot of companies and not only Walmart change their prices all the time and sometimes even if you go a particular site and later go back the price will be different. To be honest I don't really notice great discounts being announced at Walmart.

I worked there for a year and I can't say I miss it. I hate retail. They literally hired me on the spot. All they did was a short interview and then set me at a computer that went through some training for the job. They didn't even tell me I was hired, I had to ask because I thought I was going to fill something out, not get trained lmfao. No background check. With the sexual harassment, I had one male coworker put his arm around my shoulders and then slowlyyyy slide away with this disgusting look. He did it in front of my female manager. He knew she probably couldn't do anything about it but she sure voiced her dislike of him to me.

I bought a gamer chair from walmart for 90 bucks 10 years ago and it is still going strong which is a shocker since I weight 260 pounds. lol

I work for Walmart for 26 years and most of this is lies. They definitely do a background check. All retail stores are guilty of making business with countries with unfair working conditions. As far as discrimination depends on the person who is doing the hiring not the Company.

Yeah I wonder of Tesco does discounts in some way or form like Walmart does since Walmart owns Tesco? ----Sonic fast food chain has 1/2 price drinks and food on certain times of certain days.

I think Walmart lowers its prices by moving product you can hold on to a product and find somebody that will eventually buy it for more if it doesn't go bad if it doesn't go out of style or

Like she said, the "furniture" is cheap... including cheaply made. It's also not very fancy or anything. As far as couches, I've only seen futons. We had some walmart furniture when we were young adults but as soon as we could afford better furniture we replaced it all.

Most major companies (including Walmart) take out life insurance policies on employees when they are hired. Part of the paperwork states that you give your permission to allow this. Even if you stop working at Walmart, they keep the insurance policy. And upon your eventual death, they cash in. They get the money, not your family. This is a separate policy from your one that is kept secret from you.
@jstringfellow19618 күн бұрын
It's not a scam if you say it's OK and they pay for it. Whomever pays the claim is the owner of the claim. If you wanted to stop them from collecting you could revoke the policy but if you sign it knowing you can't revoke, that's on you. Know the laws!
