General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

everything just come in sealed bags in a box and we just cut them open and put a sell by sticker on it and put it on the shelf, easy.

My grandma worked at Walmart for years, she did stocking and inventory stuff and took the night shift even tho she was old bc she was weird. Her logic was she was used to working nights bc she did it forever when she was younger and that young people might need the day shifts more so altruistic I guess lol

 

[Chris]

They actually kept her on payroll for like a year after she had a stroke even though she told them she wasn't coming back bc their healthcare benefits were slightly better than her base Medicaid

if something expired the next day we gave it a CVP(customer value promo) that marked it down a certain percent so it sold.

 

[Butters]

one of the first things I did when I got there at 7am was mark that shit down and old people would sit there and wait like it was a spectacle and see what i marked down.

 

[Butters]

like i was some higher power that picked what i wanted to mark down. I told them its anything thats gonna expire tomorrow so if you want something and it expires tomorrow bring it to me and i'll mark it down instead of waiting around.

 

[Chris]

Lmao my grandma used to complain about them too even tho that's what she does now and did before

I used to not order meat from Walmart but tbh all the recall scandals are always with the "higher quality" stuff so now I say fuck it, it seems fine to me

cold cuts seem fine havent been sick yet

 

[Chris]

She said all the sales were a scam too bc they would have her mark up stuff when anything went on sale and it was always stuff like paper towels or milk that everyone bought so you didn't actually save much money buying whatever was marked down

 

[Chris]

yeah usually that or ground beef for me. Chicken I'm pretty sketchy of from anywhere ngl lol so I just pray when I cook it and probably overcook it some to be safe

 

[Chris]

Finally getting a meat thermometer was a good investment tho

I don't think we ever did that but we did have price changes a lot and I probably just never paid attention enough.

 

[Chris]

Yeah cause you weren't an old person

 

[Butters]

I was the manager of dairy for a year or two and they would mark eggs down like 1 penny sometimes.

 

[Chris]

She went on a rant one time bc the price of her gun was raised but she saw a rollback sign on something else when we were shopping one day
