I worked nights at Walmart years ago and one time it poured rain all day and was still pouring all night to the point where people were leaving work and going home. I was like leaving because of rain?!? Pffff. Well by morning everything was flooded and we were stuck at Walmart. We cleared out all the clothing racks and set up cots and sleeping bags, TV's with dvd players and coolers with drinks and snacks and the national guard started dropping people flooded out off at the store. It was insane. Gave people whatever they needed we just had to scan it first but everything was free. But still we ended up having to rope off most of the store and escorting people to the merchandise because everyone was just stealing whatever they wanted. Lol. I was there and awake for like 32 straight hours.

Walmart employees are the best!

[@jmiller297]

If only we could say the same about its *customers.* 😒😒😒

[@alexlevingston]

Some of them, not all of them. I've encountered a few bad ones. 😞😔

[@Netklapper445]

Gail Lewis would’ve put the weather change cheat on

[@ericdraven7185]

They are always on their phones

[@SmearyBridges]

​@@ericdraven7185Might want to look twice. The handheld devices they use to do their jobs look like phones now. Not saying none are on their actual phones, but the handhelds are also literally phones.

[@pathmamadhawan4300]

Heavy rain where this place hope not a storm. Little ❤ from Malaysia

[@jerrysweigart9457]

Yes. That’s true. I know some Walmart employees who have retired and work part time for extra spending money and something to do. Yet many struggle to support their families with the low pay.

[@TehCapcutSpartaRemixer]

That almost bald guy and woman is the bravest of all!

[@roddo1955]

Almost bald guy needed to be told what to do😂

[@Boneappleteahee]

@@roddo1955isn’t that how teamwork usually happens? Someone tells someone else to do something, then they work together to fix the problem

[@OngoGablogian185]

Honestly, that guy didn't do too bad for literally his first ever run.

[@jai08921]

An Walmart doesn't pay enough for people like this they need a raise asap

[@rileyfair5]

So you need to get paid to be a decent human being? Are you really that shallow and pathetic?

[@ForgottenHonor0]

An ice storm came through the area in Texas where I worked at a Walmart a couple years back. The next morning, when I clocked in, my manager asked me if I knew how to spread ice salt. I looked her dead in the eye and said, "I lived in Michigan for thirty years."

[@journeywithjay]

Gail lewis yr 1 highlights never disappoint

[@randparker1015]

I’d be pissed if I was trynna get out of the hail and the door wouldn’t open

[@brianschaffer9220]

That only stops automatic door.

[@tereseczimbal8099]

The door that they closed was an Exit door.

[@RedboneUnincorporated]

​@tereseczimbal8099 imbecile, you don't think they did the same with the door right beside it. why would they do one and not the other? 🤦‍♂️

[@RedboneUnincorporated]

​@@brianschaffer9220no.

[@bettyewhite3540]

They could let you in. That's for safety so they don't blow open and hurt someone.

[@brigittemenges2109]

Courageuse femme

[@SJDJFJFSKSXNDJWJQI]

They just saved that walmart. Very heroic.

[@kays3873]

I worked at petsmart back in 2018 and my city flooded. The store had 6" of water in it and they wouldn't let the employees close the store and go home... now, I've also been a retail manager and we had a white out snow storm, I closed the store but I wasn't letting my employees leave until the visibility cleared up a bit, so we made sure everyone had snacks and coffee to stay warm until it was safe to go out. Obviously they weren't forced to stay, but no one wanted to leave because of the weather.

[@uncoloredredsquare1]

100% my Walmart would still be making me push carts outside

[@Anglophile2012]

Great job

[@jameshernandez5766]

They don’t work this fast to stop a shoplifter from leaving with 300 in groceries

[@That.Lady.withtheYarn]

You’re not supposed to. That was in the training. Essentially the company does not want to pay for your medical bills if they short or kill you. I quit in 2015

[@74yodinosaur99]

They should have security for that job.

[@cerealloser]

shoplifters can fight back, a storm not so much

[@solala1312]

they could get murked doing that. corporate literally tells employees to never run after them or try to stop them. they could be armed and desperate enough to use said arm. that's for the police to handle.

[@evelynlathan4986]

He was filming until she ran and told him to help close the doors

[@roddo1955]

What a d ic k

[@Beaneabean]

Are you blind? That was a customer, not the employee

[@evelynlathan4986]

​@@BeaneabeanIdiot...you are the blind one👨‍🦯

[@thewonkyfonker]

Give them a raise. They care for the store. All of us should, even if it's not always fun

[@minichins]

I used to push carts at Walmart whenever this happened it was a nice extra long break time lol

[@lee7701]

That’s not hail, that’s proper hard boiled rain coming down.

[@yarimerced4561]

Yo llego estar ahi y me muero de los nervios y del susto a la vez saludos desde Puerto.Rico,😉🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@just2nd]

'This door is to remain unlocked when the building is occupied'

[@cashvaultbank]

Yayy!

[@MmmDnBbitch]

Right

[@GoN2Xtremez]

Door wasn’t locked. The automatic was just turned off. Also breakaway doors, a gentle push and they open.

[@fayereeve8154]

Just turned off automatic open close switch off can open manually

[@Longshot88]

Funny how you have that quote on hand but don't know how the doors actually work. lol. Must be a supervisor somewhere huh?

[@alexdergacheff8135]

This reminds me of running out to lower the embrellas at Starbucks! 😂

[@jerrysweigart9457]

Yes. That is how they monitor check outs, and restock items. Their Walmart app tells them where to place the items in the store.

[@Ann2hungry]

BRO IT WAS CRAZY A LADY TRYED SUEING THE MANAGER BC SHE FELL AND EVERYTHING

[@Zero-Recollection]

Nice fake story.

[@man-by9iz]

@@Zero-Recollectionbro he typed that 4 months ago why do you care

[@idontfuckinglikebitches]

​@@man-by9izare you that pathetic? Doesn't matter if it's 12 years ago. His comment is still up here for the public so he can reply to it if he wants to who cares how old his comment is

[@elmrcaminos]

Wish we had this in California 😭

[@clotildedecasaantici8065]

Ditto in Italy

[@zchris87v80]

You do realize this stuff destroys the roof of your house and puts dents in your car, right? A heavy hailstorm will easily cost you $15000-$20000

[@JSRMedia]

Idk why you'd want the severe wind and frickin monsoon type stuff but when get hail in California we get the nice small, light hail.

[@Blackveil123]

​@@zchris87v80i think they mean employees like that
