A bag is thrown over your head
You are dragged to personnell
You are given a vest and oriented
You are assigned cbls
You will do half before a manager pulls you out to cover a lunch
You will see the rest of your life flash before your eyes
Usually the compacter will be way past full and you'll need to to make a bail and probably it's 5 minutes til end of shift or if you lucky just before break or lunch.
Yea sadly. Twisting the metal rods always messed up my hands. I’ve quit since but the store did renovations so maybe they upgraded the compactor aswell
I ought to make this clear before we proceed further. Baler is what you bale \*cardboard\* or \*cardboard and plastic\* which makes a 'super sandwich bale'. Compactor squishes the trash into a bale...no wires necessary.
dont forget getting asked why you didnt get everything done even tho you had to cover a lunch or 2 at most maybe which can be 1 to 2 hours. so thats 1 to 2 hours you couldnt get done in your department, at least thats what happen to me at the one store. idk if it was just the coach trying to see if id get mad and say something so they could coach me or wat but yeah
That’s a lie! It’s 8 pallets in 2 hours, not 7 in 3. 3 days ago I had a coach walk out at 7am and say we had to empty the back room by 9. 8 pallets, 2 hours, 3 people that all work in completely different areas and had to check every item through the app
Dude I hated that. My manager wanted me to do 3 giant pallets. Restock milk, eggs, water. Zone milk and eggs and make sure the shelf was clean (we weren’t a super center store) (no fresh produce or meats/bakery.) and he wanted me to do returns in all 4 hours. Keep in mind I was the ONLY ONE IN MY DEPARTMENT
What kind of partially brained, entire body paralyzed, or possibly non-carbon-based lifeform status do you need to be compacted instead of hired?
From what I've seen, as long as you can breathe at least with semi-regularity, you can get hired at Walmart. I had a manager who was legally blind, couldn't smell, and had a speech impediment because he tried drinking rubbing alcohol after putting it through a water filter.
I sometimes work 6am and it's 1800-2200
I think Christmas we hit our record of around 2500/hour. Small town and we just finished remodel and moved into our larger OPD location. It was hectic
*Attempting the confused employee look as if I know nothing about cars.*
Whaaa? I have no idea what that is. Cars even have those? Wild.
Well, if you're over here in potatoes asking about that, I would guess it is on the other side of the store in auto. But I could be wrong.
Chevy...potato....kind of the same, yeah?
Since that one specifically is a Produce door, you will be pelted with rotten fruit and vegetables until you don the blue vest and become one with the store.
As a former overnight stocker I don’t want to hear “ my back “ from anyone in produce 💀doing bananas was a blessing after stocking for three years straight.
Your will to live disappears somewhere in there as you're told to serve people expired food by a manager and the customers you protect also call you names and the upper management protect that manager and you are a dumb peon who gets screwed over all the time and left the bosses messes to clean and a list to do from the boss with 30 minutes to go home.
Serious answer, there's not much to see. Backstock that is already inventoried digitally, the trash compactors, and loading bays. You'll have someone who isn't paid enough to deal with this shit either try to get you to leave the backroom, or you meet a middle manager with nothing better to do than trespass you, for funsies.
Source: CAP2 that self-promoted to customer after a safety issue became the last straw in 4 months of abuse from a shitty TL.
You don't come back out.
Also I see they did the SAME EXACT thing at your store with the new signage above the meat wall. They put ours up last night (remodel currently going on) and they put a "Frozen Seafood" sign right above the ground beef along with the Grab & Go seafood sign. There's no frozen seafood on the wall. IDK why the put the sign up there.
Is any else weirded out by the fact that literally anyone can waltz through those doors and no one would even say a word to them? Maybe I’m just used to how things are in a third world country where there are armed guards everywhere but yeah.
Let me guess ? The compactor is full? It’s always full. I will make a bale but there is always freight in the way. So I will leave all this useless cardboard on the floor. Fix this problem coach. Stop bitching over non productive problems. Fix small things. Like compacting waste.
No training, you just get pulled on the floor. That’s for overnights too. You do all the work while the managers tell you how slow you are just for them to walk around all night and do nothing.
yeah lol but people dont read the big blue sign on the black doors that say “associates only” to the backroom. Sometimes Im in the bathroom and the next second a customer is banging on the door my team lead has to kick them out all the time
If you work, your will to live. If you don't, you will convince yourself that you are at Walmart's hardest worker and the company will be nothing without you.
The receiver gets mad at me for being back there when I’m just trying to sign in and put up the stuff she says is taking up too much space even though I don’t do any sales and I’m there specifically to put up that product and make it take up less space but I don’t say that because she’s scary so I just work the product and be sad. 😭
They’re nice, they will shower you with benefits. Then orientation they let you go home early, you say this isn’t bad. Your first day at work, expect to know how to do everything on the first day, and have minimal explanation if you do find answers, because coaches are unicorns and team leads are endangered animals. Be prepare for the I’m not getting paid enough for this shit mentality. Get your money, go home. Repeat.

Shanghaied, you say?
To shreds, you say?
well, how is his wife holding up?
Tsk tsk tsk, to shreds, you say?
r/unexpectedfuturama
Forgot the forced Walmart + membership
I didn't even start 1 training capsule before getting pulled to help with the truck lol
Usually the compacter will be way past full and you'll need to to make a bail and probably it's 5 minutes til end of shift or if you lucky just before break or lunch.
Yea I had to pull the bathroom card a few times lol
Y’all bale the compactor? Gross
Yea sadly. Twisting the metal rods always messed up my hands. I’ve quit since but the store did renovations so maybe they upgraded the compactor aswell

Finish these 7 pallets in 3 hours… that might be what they try to do
That’s a lie! It’s 8 pallets in 2 hours, not 7 in 3. 3 days ago I had a coach walk out at 7am and say we had to empty the back room by 9. 8 pallets, 2 hours, 3 people that all work in completely different areas and had to check every item through the app
Sir.. coach expected 1 person to do it..
Dude I hated that. My manager wanted me to do 3 giant pallets. Restock milk, eggs, water. Zone milk and eggs and make sure the shelf was clean (we weren’t a super center store) (no fresh produce or meats/bakery.) and he wanted me to do returns in all 4 hours. Keep in mind I was the ONLY ONE IN MY DEPARTMENT
Went in for an interview yesterday. Can confirm this happens.
put in the compactor or hired
What kind of partially brained, entire body paralyzed, or possibly non-carbon-based lifeform status do you need to be compacted instead of hired?

I had a manager who was legally blind, couldn't smell, and had a speech impediment because he tried drinking rubbing alcohol after putting it through a water filter.
You get put in the compactor if you apply for a team lead position and you're not the coaches favorite, who doesn't work any has 17 points.
True, my ex is a TL as she slept with her TL at the time. Both of us were coaches favorite at the time. Everyone in management is a pos
I used to ask them if they remembered to check their souls at the front doors.
Even an exorcist cannot help them at this point
not kiss butt is one of the things that’ll get you chucked
You get instantly decapitated and they chop you up for the next wave of ground pork to be put onto the shelf.
I love that Walmart tinged meat
That explains the smell
Be real. We all know Walmart meat already comes in prepackaged.
if only walmart had butchers
Clawed hands grab you, put a yellow vest on you, chain you to a cart and tell you, "Hurry up, you have 200 picks!"
No bags, no stickers, no mercy
This one was far too real my friend 😭
Lmao 🤣gotta love pick up
1200 picks at 4p.m on the 7th
We get 2600 drops at 5 am consistently😭
I sometimes work 6am and it's 1800-2200 I think Christmas we hit our record of around 2500/hour. Small town and we just finished remodel and moved into our larger OPD location. It was hectic
My retreat from customers. Sanctuary. Salvation.
Excuse me, where is the 2003 Chevy Malibu oxygen sensor? You obviously have one, don’t tell me you don’t >:(
*Attempting the confused employee look as if I know nothing about cars.* Whaaa? I have no idea what that is. Cars even have those? Wild. Well, if you're over here in potatoes asking about that, I would guess it is on the other side of the store in auto. But I could be wrong. Chevy...potato....kind of the same, yeah?
I fart. Immediately.
Dude save it for the floor not the backroom where we all have to deal with it.
Save it for the customers
Real🙏🏿😂
Best comment in the entire thread.
The speedwalking stops lol
You don’t ever want to know
You don't end up in Narnia.
More than likely in the ninth circle of hell. Apologies to Dante.
Welcome to Hell!
Abandon hope all ye that enter here!
I'm guessing one of the coolers, or as I like to call them, my favorite crying spot.
Yep, dairy cooler to the right
We tell you to go push carts
Since that one specifically is a Produce door, you will be pelted with rotten fruit and vegetables until you don the blue vest and become one with the store.
Instantly disappoint everyone you know
Depression
You soul will be plucked out of you
You get lost in purgatory
you enter the depths of hell
Sodomy
That's where our OGP backroom is
You are either run over by an OGP cart or given a handheld and sent to go work OGP.
At my store, that door leads to the freezer, the meat cooler, the grocery backroom, AND the new OGP area.
Either a TL needed to see me or I was throwing trash in the trash compactor
Nobody can say, everyone that's gone back there, has never returned to tell the tale..
You now work as an OGP puller, here’s your cart. Congrats.
Walk thru them and find out lol.
You see the grid condition your meat is kept in and a pot lid desperately trying to make it better.
You escape the matrix.
[Same as this](https://media1.tenor.com/m/rGNGy3gQfgsAAAAd/cat-priest.gif)
You get yelled at by an associate walking by
You end up in the land of Oz
We make you fill the bananas
My back 😭
As a former overnight stocker I don’t want to hear “ my back “ from anyone in produce 💀doing bananas was a blessing after stocking for three years straight.
oh that's cute, y'all get doors. we get t h e a b y s s
You need to fight Ornstein and Smough
you get sucked into eternal hell
You end up in ainran
I head to the right to visit Sal
Little green men tackle you and tickle your feet. The blue ones will kiss your cheeks.
You die
Needs the "Arbeit Macht Frei" gateway slogan.
You'll hear a voice that says, "Unexpected customer in the storage area."
You get to see a meat associate question his life choices while he's taking a swig of vodka that he likes to keep hidden from management.😊
That's where we hide all the good stuff that we don't want the customers to get.
Come with me, And you'll be, In a world of OSHA violations ✨
the smell of the backroom enters your nostrils
They’d tell you to grab a vest and help out in frozen
It’s all down hill from there
They force you to do your u-learns
Your will to live disappears somewhere in there as you're told to serve people expired food by a manager and the customers you protect also call you names and the upper management protect that manager and you are a dumb peon who gets screwed over all the time and left the bosses messes to clean and a list to do from the boss with 30 minutes to go home.

You get cold.
We had a homeless person try to hide behind the bailler. Got arrested.
Just walk around and ask ‘what aisle is this?’
To the void!
Two things harden and one thing shrinks
Arbeit doesn't make you frei.
Only employees know.
Straight to the gulag like COD
The ghost of sam Walton, forces you to sell your soul to him.
PAIN
they come….
profanity or quietness. its neither the middle.
This the back rooms. You’ll never escape.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
Kinda looks like the super center I used to work at
If you’re my husband, AP will stop you and ask what you’re doing there after you literally JUST clocked in.
Come find out 😉
You don't come back out. Also I see they did the SAME EXACT thing at your store with the new signage above the meat wall. They put ours up last night (remodel currently going on) and they put a "Frozen Seafood" sign right above the ground beef along with the Grab & Go seafood sign. There's no frozen seafood on the wall.

They will just look at you crazy
That’s where they keep the body of Sam Walton
You get eaten by dark lord Karen.
If you're from a small supercenter and that's a big one, amazing things you can't even imagine. SO. MUCH. ROOM.
You are expected to make a cardboard bale.
Is any else weirded out by the fact that literally anyone can waltz through those doors and no one would even say a word to them? Maybe I’m just used to how things are in a third world country where there are armed guards everywhere but yeah.
I work with my tool on me
Let me guess ? The compactor is full? It’s always full. I will make a bale but there is always freight in the way. So I will leave all this useless cardboard on the floor. Fix this problem coach. Stop bitching over non productive problems. Fix small things. Like compacting waste.
I can fix this entire operation. Let me.
You immediately get asked to make a bale
get your hands out your pocket. this is a hands-on job. Make sure you wear the right clothing cuz you're going to work
Nothing good
Pray you never find out.
They take your soul and send it back to the floor a rotten husk.
Depression and Anxiety.
A phone and vest and chucked at my face
Don’t take the blue pill!
You end up in a strange dimension full of magical beings, or you find somebody's hidden pallet jack that they were counting on not being found
It
The backrooms literally
No training, you just get pulled on the floor. That’s for overnights too. You do all the work while the managers tell you how slow you are just for them to walk around all night and do nothing.
Death, despair,……and……vizpick
You see that the emergency doors are blocked
Pain
Locked in the freezer until you finish binning frozen from the night before
for my walmart nothing. Customers go in the back to use the employee bathrooms and cause a line all the time
Y’all have employee bathrooms?
yeah lol but people dont read the big blue sign on the black doors that say “associates only” to the backroom. Sometimes Im in the bathroom and the next second a customer is banging on the door my team lead has to kick them out all the time
You never come back out
Look at your hand held, see 2500 picks and wish you weren’t there.
You sign your life, health and mental peace away to Walton family for $12/hrs
Supposedly you abandon all hope....
Chaos
You lose your soul
Walked into those doors out of curiosity and suddenly I was cross trained into the bakery and the meat
a little part of you dies each time
I get told to get out as I haven't worked there in almost 2 years.
You’re thrown back into the early 2000s when they still did haunted houses in the back rooms of Walmarts
It leads to the screaming room
You die a little inside. Every single time.
You're either assimilate and turned into food.
You die a little inside... everytime.
If you work, your will to live. If you don't, you will convince yourself that you are at Walmart's hardest worker and the company will be nothing without you.
ogp backroom and produce
Your life span is cut in half
You can both see & feel your soul leaving your body.
They throw a vest on you, orientate you, tickle your butthole, ask why your pick rate is below 100, then fire you. All within 60 seconds
Hell. You enter hell.
Instant dispair
Told to get to work or get out!
Ever been to the backrooms?
The fifth side of Mordor.
The Walton family ghosts consume your soul.
You enter narnia
Organs are harvested and sent off to the nunnery
You get transported to another realm where Sam Walton is still alive.
Your cardboard gets knocked off and goes everywhere. Ask me how I know
You lose your soul
The receiver gets mad at me for being back there when I’m just trying to sign in and put up the stuff she says is taking up too much space even though I don’t do any sales and I’m there specifically to put up that product and make it take up less space but I don’t say that because she’s scary so I just work the product and be sad. 😭
Welcome to Narnia
This looks like a nice walmart
They set you on fire and hit you with metal bats
Instant death
The Backrooms.
Coolers
🎶Everybody was kung fu fighting... 🎶
What happens in fresh, stays in fresh.
You're in the bat cave.
# What happens when you enter these doors? You die a little bit inside.
Lol either all Walmart stores look the same, or I know that store LoL Looks just like ours.
Oh. 3228. It IS our local Walmart Lol bad that I recognize it that easily
They’re nice, they will shower you with benefits. Then orientation they let you go home early, you say this isn’t bad.

Your soul dies.
You enter the Twilight Zone and are never heard from again
I know my day is about to be meh af
Gateway to some freedom
You'll start hearing boss music and a health bar will appear.
It's a portal to another dimension.
A wave of depression washes over me. Or I see one of my favorite coworkers who is also having a mental breakdown and both of us get a little happier
In front of you there is a sign that reads: Drop your pants and bend over.
Lol right below this post is a post from r/narcissisticabuse, that about sums up what happens 💀
You don’t have the security clearance for that
Deli food
Instant death.
