I work at Walmart April 4 Update

Hi, our employee who was sprayed in the face, by a customer did file a police report. The police did come to our store and washed out her eyes with a special solution. She will be ok and is a married mother of two children.

I had a customer yell at me because I asked her to not use cloth bags to pack her groceries. Our MA Governor banned them. She told me that they are her bags and she can do whatever she wants with them. Then she said that she will never shop in Walmart again!

Today our paint dept, fabric and ammunition depths are closed. We also have gates now to separate customers, six feet apart and only come into the store in one door and out the exit door.

Lots of employees have called out and some cry because they are just overwhelmed with everything.

We are getting free soda and water, along with cookies, crackers and candy in the breakroom and only one person at a table six feet apart.

A customer brought me a mask and gloves to wear. Walmart soon will be giving us two masks and gloves per day.

We are also having Seniors shop 6 to 7am each day.

And now a customer can buy 3 milks and unlimited water.

When I get home I'am so tired from work. At least I have a job to go to for now. It's been 12 years working in our Walmart for me.

Sending prayers to all  the QVC community. Be safe.

Strange Walmart is rationing milk.  I heard on the news that there is an excess that is being dumped.  I though that was a little weird since kids are home from school.

@Libra2 Dear lady, it sounds like things have improved a wee bit for you. I'm  so glad. I know how hard folks work in retail of any kind. Glad you have gloves and masks and snacks.

 

Hang in there, you are very much appreciated!!

Re: I work at Walmart April 4 Update

A woman I work with in the area has taken up collections to bring food to the employees who are making our lives liveable. The owners of the restaurants are giving her discounts and she was able to have 52 pizzas delivered to our Walmart last week. Next week will be food for the night crews. So many people donated and with the prices the restaurants are giving her, she was able to take care of the day shifts of the grocery stores, Walmart and Target last week. All of the store managers have been happy to work with her to get food to the employees. There ARE good people and times like these bring out the best (and worst) of us.

 

Thank you for your updates and please stay safe.
