Walmart question

Kinda like Zern's was.

Exactly likes Zern's was.

Would you accost me if I were...
openly gay?
openly trans?
openly democratic?
(add some to this list if you have them)
Those aren't even constitutional rights? Why are you accosting me for openly exercising my right?

It's time we change our mentality of "private property", when businesses are involved.

That's the old, now it's the checkout line at Walmart.

That's the old, now it's the checkout line at Walmart.

We now have a "Code SPARK" (the "spark" is that "flower-looking" part of the logo) and when there are more than 3 people in a line, a "Code SPARK" is to be called on the overhead, to have any register-trained associates not directly assisting a customer to come to the front and open a register.
I have nothing to do with registers though and I don't think I've ever heard it announced. Lines still form, although not as bad as some other locations I've been to.

Fun story:
I was shopping one night around 11pm. I had a list - it was a real "cart filler". (may as well get that employee discount)
When I got to the front to check out, I came past the self checkout, headed toward the one open register (only one after 10/11pm) when I saw that the light wasn't on. WTF?
I hate self checkouts - anywhere. Unless I'm getting a discount for doing the work myself, I'm not using it.

I looked at the woman manning the self checkout area and before I could say anything, she said "Yeah, there's no registers open."

"Seriously?", I replied - "I'm NOT going through self checkout with all of this."

"Hold on, I'll call and see if someone can open a register for you". (gets on radio)
"Sir, go ahead up to register nine and someone will be right there."

"Great, thanks!" I said

Two people approached that I recognized as management from the overnight team.
"Sir, did you need cigarettes?"

"Nooo???"

"Oh, do you want to check out? I'm sorry, but we're short on cashiers tonight - she can help you up at the self checkout though."

I replied, "I'm not going through self checkout with all of THIS - forget it."
They started to apologize and I interrupted and told them that I'm an associate, and I understand that they may be short, but I'm not using self checkout and that if I were a "regular customer" I would be REALLY pissed that there were no registers open.
"I guess someone will have to put all of this back then."

I left my full cart right in the main aisle, and went home.
We went to a different Walmart the next day and bought everything there.

I had intended to complain - I started the process online, but there would be too much required info that would link it to me and I didn't want to chance any retaliation (as an employee) for it.

Walmart does not want open carry any more unless your a law enforcement officer here is the memo from CEO of Walmart.

Everyone knows Walmart made that stupid announcement.

However, I'd like clarity if anyone knows more than I do.

I've read statements that read that Walmart "banned' open carry. I've read news stories that show that Walmart 'respectfully asks customers not to open carry'. I've also seen statements attributed to Walmart saying, "We leave discretion to each manager".

Asking someone not to OC is different from outright banning it. And leaving it up to manager's discretion makes the whole policy seem completely unclear.

How should we interpret this?

I interpret it as "concealed is concealed," that is, if I were ever to step foot in one again.

Oh, brother. That tired, old "running mom and pop out of business" crap?
It's anti American to hate on a business because they succeed.
Fuck "fair" - that's liberal horse shit. If your business can't compete, that's the fault of the one that is successful and the successful business should be punished?
C'mon.

Also, regarding the blatant LIE that they "give nothing in return", Walmart has all sorts of liberal-type "feel good" GIVING BACK programs. I heard all about them during my new hire training, and they constantly have notices for community events and fund raisers.

People can hate on them all they want, but you don't get to make shit up to do it.

The gun thing is a valid complaint. The other shit? That's a stretch.
Oh, and you need to move if all your Walmart customers are inbred, because my store isn't like that. LOL

I can attest to this. I volunteer at a food bank and I would estimate that easily 90% of the food is from WalMart. Many years ago, in a similar WalMart poo pooing thread, I posted some pictures of the floor to ceiling boxes of food from WalMart.

Hate WalMart for virtue signalling, but no need to make up bullshit on top of it. They DO do good works.

[Justin///M]

Motherfucker.
I can't up and quit, but they are losing a good worker.
I've been told by management that "I wish we could clone you" - a nice compliment. I've had similar types of comments made directly to me and have been informed that my name came up in a meeting in a "good worker" sort of way.

I'm just really upset by this whole thing because of the position it puts me in.

Paycheck first. Figure out the rest later.

[Liberifle]

Their customers are inbred toothless circus-like people, same for their employees.

Those are your neighbors and people from your community, the people you've chosen to live around.

Birds of a feather and all that.
