What are some 'working at Walmart horror stories'?

A friend of mine worked at Walmart and had a horror story about inventory. They were doing the annual inventory count, and the system kept crashing. They had to start over multiple times, and they were stuck at work until really late at night, like 3 in the morning. It was a nightmare because they were so tired but couldn't leave until the inventory was done right.

I heard a story where a customer found a strange object in their purchased item. It was a small piece of metal in a box of cereal. When they went back to the store to complain, they had to deal with a lot of bureaucracy. The staff didn't seem to take it seriously at first, and it took a long time for them to finally offer some sort of compensation or apology.

A rather disturbing Walmart greeter horror story involves a greeter who had some really unhygienic habits. They were constantly coughing and sneezing without covering their mouths near the entrance. And when customers would try to avoid them, they would get offended and start making mean comments. It was a really unpleasant experience for those who just wanted to do their shopping in peace.

One horror story could be about long lines at the Baypines Walmart with rude staff. Maybe customers had to wait for hours to check out and the employees were unhelpful, not answering questions or being impatient.

There was a time when the cash register system at Walmart crashed. The cashier had no idea how to handle the situation. Customers were getting frustrated as the cashier had to manually write down prices and calculate totals. It was a total mess and took forever to get through the line.

There are stories of managers who play favorites. They give all the good shifts and opportunities for advancement to certain employees while ignoring the hard work of others. This creates a very negative and unmotivated work environment for those who are not in the 'in - group'.

There was a case where a customer got a car battery from Walmart. They installed it in their vehicle, but it turned out to be defective. The car wouldn't start at all, and when they tried to get a refund or exchange, they faced a lot of red tape. They had to jump through hoops to prove that the battery was bad, which was really frustrating and took a lot of their time.

One horror story is about the long hours. Workers are sometimes made to work back - to - back shifts with very little break time. It's exhausting and can lead to burnout. For example, a cashier might have to stand for 8 - 10 hours straight without proper rest.

One horror story could be long lines at the checkout. Customers might wait for ages with a full cart, especially during peak hours like weekends or holidays. It's really frustrating when you just want to get home quickly.

Well, I heard of a case where a customer took their car to Walmart Autocare for a simple oil change. But when they got the car back, there was a strange noise coming from the engine. Turns out, they had somehow loosened a bolt during the oil change process. Also, some people have reported that the staff at Walmart Autocare seemed very unprofessional. They were rude or not knowledgeable enough to answer basic questions about car maintenance.
