Walmart Day 2

So I have successfully gained all my sleep back from working 3rd shift at Walmart. And I have to say some first impressions about the place.

It actually is not as bad as what people think. I did mostly Janitorial stuff (I did clean bathrooms) and I did a little bit of stocking.

The employees are not that bad of people. Yes they do not talk that much, but it IS third shift. What is there to talk about?

Another thing that drained the life out of me last night was the fact that we have an HOUR lunch. That is just ridiculous when you are tired. It really does drain the life out of you.

I do feel sore from walking around so much. I will not lie about that. I am not sure what exactly is in pain, but I do feel a little bit uneasy as far as the time shift and everything like that, hopefully it will get better.

Finally I noticed that the employees actually get treated somewhat well. I was talking to a guy who has been at Walmart Stores all over and he said "Walmart Stores and management might not be designed to help people as much as they need to, but they do have great job security." This I did find to be true.

I saw that Walmart offered 2 scholarships for college students, one of which can get up to 16,000 dollars. Pretty impressive stuff when you think about it.

They do understand sick issues. My friend who came with me yesterday actually had to leave because he was extremely sick. It sucks but they said they would let him back if he wanted to. I believe he declined.

Besides that it was all mostly learning, and by learning I mean learning as you go. We did not watch any video at all or know exactly what to do for the full 8 hours if you want to think of it that way. The job that I do can literally take about 4 hours if everyone actually worked hard. However it IS third shift.

I will keep you more informed tomorrow. Everyone have a great afternoon.
