Working at Walmart over the last few years has really opened my eyes up to a lot of things. You get to meet some really interesting people. The number and type of customers that come through the door on an 8 hour shift is a small representation of America. Some are in a rush, some take their time, others are on the edge, about ready to blow up.
A couple things I learned:
- When being yelled at for a missing jar of pickles in an customer order…stay calm and keep quiet till they stop screaming.
- Some people really try to game the system to their advantage and take advantage of their employees.
- A good work ethic isn’t as common as one might think / hope.
- Take pride in your work, time goes by much faster when your working hard.
- Early on make sure to ask questions when you don’t know or understand something, its ok to not know.
