Ok let me ask you this, why is it called an express lane if people are going to be slow a$$es? If you have never stepped into a walmart you might not understand this. Ok tonight i was working the 10 items or less lane and a woman with obviously more than 10 items comes through my line. Im not complaining about that mind you i get paid the same for 10 items or 100 items. Well i started ringing her stuff up, then i run out of room on my bagging turn table. And she just stares at it ok whatever i continue ringing the items and when i finish, unbagged items are sitting on my register. So she takes the bagged items at this point and i finish bagging the rest. Then i total out her order. She hands me a check to pay. Well since we do electronic checks i run it through and my register tells me when to tell the customer to electronically sign. So i tell her its ready and she waits two or three seconds then responds with "now its ready" she says it in a snotty way. By this point i am fed up with her. So i just kinda twist my face up and raise my eyebrow at the comment. She looks up at me and has the nerve to ask me it i had a problem. Of course i politely say no ma'am and hand her receipt to her. And she walls away. But truely, i wanted to rip this woman a new one. For one obviously she couldnt read, two she was rude to start off when i was just trying to do my job, and three she should have gone to a belted register to begin with, we were not busy at all. It was a slow saturday for a change. Anything like that just get under your skin sometimes and the only way to get it out of your system is to vent?

people in Tennessee fail to understand what a blinker is and how to use it brake going up hills and stop and or brake at green lights

I used to work at Walmart. I feel your pain. Oh the stories I could tell.....

Some people are just both rude and mean. She probably is like this everywhere she goes.

Yeah i have been there for nearly 2 years now and i have so many stories.

i hated working there and the managers think they are big **** b.c they work at wal-mart lmao

Have you tried stabbing her with your eyes????

One of my favs is the one where the lady didn't have enough to pay for all her stuff (this is at 1 am, mind you) so she stands there hemming and hawing and trying to decide what to put back, when she could have just got rid of the 50 dollar ham and got most of everything else. But noooooooo...so I had to stay past my shift to finish her order, and some of the stuff was perishable and had to be taken back and of course you can never get anyone to come up front to take things back (especially at that time of night) and then she wanted to know if she was "bothering me." Oh, no, ma'am, you're not bothering me, I just want to throttle you, but Walmart won't freaking let me!

I am fairly positive she is. I am going to say this and i really dont mean to offend anybody. And if i do i am sorry. And i promise i am in no way racist. Please dont take it that way. At my store it always seems to be the younger black ladies, women, girls. That have this sort of behavior. But i do get it out of cynical old men, and really trailer park white folks sometimes too. But i can not refuse service to them so i deal with it. This lady just made my skin crawl though.

as the cashier, you are the last person she sees as she heads out the door...or at least the last real impression.

she may have had bad service elsewhere in the store, she may have not found what she was looking for...

why not just automatically put her bags in her cart? you said it yourself, you get paid the same regardless...and she'd have a much better impression.

and for some reason, when it's busy especially...the terminals go quite a bit slower on the customer's side.

(yes, i work for walmart. hardlines ZMS)

and i was just about to send you a friend request too!!!

i kid, i kid. customer service sucks everywhere.

My favorite one to this day, i spent most of my time at walmart on 3rd. So at about 3am we have this woman come through the store screaming maurece at the top of her lungs. She went to the front bathroom, all along the front of the store. Screaming the whole time finally we get her stopped in pharmacy and she starts having a panic attack and can breath. We are trying to calm her down. We eventually had to call the cops to escort her from the building. That was a fun night. You get to see the good stuff at night.

third's where you get the good stuff.

we had a couple of college kids go streaking through the store, butt-assed naked. security chasing behind them...they ran the racetrack a couple of times and then got tackled at the door.

citations and arrest, heh.

Well, to tell you the truth, when my turn table filled up she still had groceries in her buggy. And by the time she emptied her buggy i was done ringing. I was complaining about her being rude. I was just doing my job. And for a cashier with an exceeded expectations eval, i would say that i must do my job pretty darn well. It is almost impossible to achieve that in our store. And as i said it was not busy. And that is the problem in walmart too many chiefs and not enough indians. On the front line by itself you have customer service managers then you have the front end zone manager. Then you have the support manager, then there is the assistant manager, then the co manager then the store manager. Its just a bunch of craziness.

i wish we had enough chiefs. AND enough cashiers, heh.

our CSM's are often on a register...and we're shy a couple of them. we have all of 8 assistants and 7 ZM/ZMS's in a store with 550 associates in it. 3 shifts (used to be called co's) and one store manager.

we've eliminated several departments for the new structure...so there aren't near as many department managers, either.

i'm aware that people can be rude. believe me, i see my share...i just refuse to let these people that come into my home affect my outlook. they'll be out the door, and i'll continue on my day.

it's when the management over you is a pain in the rear that i have a hard time with.

One question...Are you a Manager?

Where do you live? Ill transfer. I am a great cashier. Never a penny over or under in my till. Friendly for the most part. I red line and zone during down times instead of constantly talking to my neighbor cashier. I event know how to run customer service, money center, i can stock, door greet, i even know how to perform the csm jobs and most of the things i listed other than cashier or stocker i have never been trained in.

i'm the hardlines zone merchandise supervisor. i'm over the garden center, toys, TLE, sporting goods, crafts, stationary, and seasonal.



i work for store 0005, in conway, arkansas. you would be more than welcome here.

Just so everyone else knows 0005 means that is the 5th store ever built. It was number 5 in the long lines of walmart. I have worked in store 5113 and i currently work in 0329 if that gives you any indiction of how big walmart is.
