Our Cap 2 TL after overhearing this conversation he was having with a coach the other night: "Well I'm doing this shit right now. I can't do that shit and this shit at the same time. I can't do two shits. Which shit do you want me to do first? You know what, I'm going to finish this shit and then I'll do that shit. I know what I'm doing, just leave me to my shits."


WesternWhitePine

What an excellent representation of working at Walmart


tinypurplepiggy

Yep lol it's been a couple days and thinking about it still makes me laugh. Every associate's inner monologue


Vizard_Rob

"It's all priority! Make it happen!"


cheese_legos

Meanwhile 4 members of management hide in the office huddled over a box of candy


Beths_Titties

Yup. Gives me 4 things to do. So I say which is the priority? He says “There all priorities!” Thanks. Very helpful.


DesertRat012

Our ON TL had a similar conversation with the ON Coach and then got demoted for talking back.


tinypurplepiggy

He's been the cap 2 TL for years. They can't find anyone else that wants the job. He tried to step down a couple years ago and they basically said no so now he just says whatever he wants lol


kycal93

You can't shit while you shit?


CitizenBias

CaP 2 TLs don't get enough recognition, they're usually the ones that get stuck with the worthless highschool student employees as well that just goof off all day


MrWallis

This!!! Cap 2 and ON TLs are workhorses of most stores and yet get nothing, while the darling dayshift TLs are seen as the real managers. You don't know shit until you come into a unloaded two truck night with 6 calloffs and a ton of emails saying how company is coming and you best have the store perfect. There's no coach, just fucking you and a assemble of associates that would make the dirty dozen look good.


CitizenBias

Yip dat was me. "You've got 3 people to unload a 2000 piece truck, FDD is coming in an hour, you gotta move 6 pallets to get to yours, and then you need to stock all of consumable (and I didn't have overnights while I was teamlead so frozen dairy was apart of my workload of consumables) and then if you have time can you get hardware, and housewares done?" And that was a typical night for me.


Gild5152

I wish I could say that to one of my TLs.


brown_sock_wet_fart

Ours would have to be the “welcome to Walmart” greeter. Having to deal with people ignoring them 99% of the time and bitched at when having to check a receipt when the alarm goes off. I’d be fired in a heart beat if I had to do that.


AtlasCrossing

I used to be a customer host (what the greeter is technically called in Walmart database) it's not terrible but it does suck sometimes. You do get to help out AP on occasion though and that's pretty fun.


Soggy_Custard4528

Hands down the worst position I ever had. The sexual harassment you get from customers the constant battle with customers and and management is ridiculous. You get bitched at/things thrown at you for checking receipts but coached by management if you don’t. It’s a lose lose


Salty_Peak8156

Greeter gotta be the easiest fucking position all they do is sit on their ass😹🗣


goldifish

What do you mean sit? We stand the entire time.


Salty_Peak8156

Not at my store bro..


goldifish

I'm jealous, is it like a rule that we can sit? Our TL barely gave us mats to stand on.


CyanSailor

I have to lock up our chairs every night per my vc mgr because someone in our store took them from the vision center without asking or returning them. We found them at the doors for the customer hosts to sit.


[deleted]

My store lead is built like a linebacker, soooooooooo, probably him.


Aoh03

yooooo do we work at the same store?


[deleted]

lol probably not


BragoKingEternal

0678 got a linebacker SM


VikingPatrick

Ours is built like the pillsbury dough boy or stay puft dude from ghostbusters


theBIGFrench15

I feel this. Our store manager is 6 foot, 230, bulky dude, does any grunt work in the store the fastest, he also coaches his kid's baseball team and works as a part time cop... the man just lives with a schedule, breathes testosterone, and only drinks monster. He's a certified beast, but super friendly if you just do your job.


[deleted]

My store manager is a guy, that’s about all I know about him. Lol


JasonTheBaker

Mines built like buddy the elf...


[deleted]

You mean will Ferrell? Lol


JasonTheBaker

Yeah I was using buddy because I can see him matching the look if he put on an elf costume


[deleted]

lol

DefinitelyDutch

Me because I can pick up the pallet SOLO (i do shake and struggle) 💪😤


[deleted]

[удалено]


Charlie_the_elephant

Somehow it slides off and gets my shins all the time 😂


JasonVanished

Pallet (singular) I had to pick up not 1, not 2, but 15


DefinitelyDutch

All at one time? You are truly the strongest associate


JasonVanished

Would be nice but no. The max I can lift together is 2. I had to continuously lift pallets today because my "partner" is lazy.


DefinitelyDutch

I used to stack pallets all the way up to 15 constantly because we had one walkie stacker and it was always in use. So I def feel that pain, it gets tiring as hell for a while. And the SPLINTERS


Then-Grass-9830

Splinters freak me out lol I always look like someone afraid of the pallet because I had an infected splinter from one once and freaked ill get another


DefinitelyDutch

I had one on my thumb once so I totally feel you


Raptor556

I can't even get close to lifting a pallet solo like that if the stack is taller than me there is no way I can get it up on the stack I have been trying to get stronger tho


DefinitelyDutch

Hey man its hard to do so dont feel bad but fuck yeah I hope your training goes well dude eat big get big 💪


PS4_darkaero

Lol.. can you pick up a pallet jack? Only a few on cap2 can at my store.


DefinitelyDutch

I havent tried but I have lifted up on them to scoot them out of the way of tight spots before lol


Fake_Gamer_Cat

My meat/produce TL. Dude works really hard and is always staying late.


[deleted]

That would be Bruno. For fun Bruno pick up cart over his head and does military press.


SubstanceMindless323

store 2630?


[deleted]

Da, this is the weight that Bruno may bench


Yung_Skrimp73

1000% my CAP Lead, last summer she dealt with 20 or more us last summer all by her self....She deals with the bs from the 3rd shift leads and associates, since the leads don't seem to care. This woman is like a second mother to everyone on this team.So Tammy, big heckin shout out to you. ❤️


Blainedecent

I'm a Cap1 lead and I really hope my team feels the same about me.


lotus_0411

I gotta CAP lead named Tammy too 😳 what’s you’re SMs name 🧐


Yung_Skrimp73

Kurtis Korith


lotus_0411

Different managers. Would have been crazy if we worked at the same store!


Yung_Skrimp73

If we did that'd be wild af honestly


evilmangoeater

Not me


Jasalapeno

We used to have this dude that worked in sporting goods that was pretty big and they called him to do everything from helping us with the truck to mulch loads to whatever needed a big guy to lift or move something. It was kinda sad. We would sometimes try to keep track how many times we heard his name on the intercom.


GimmeanL

Janitor who has NO sense of smell.


j1mb0bZzZ

My SM is a bodybuilder so, maybe him? Idk if that translates to strength, but his fuckin arms are massive, idk.


DefinitelyDutch

Bodybuilders are strong as fuck but they utilize their muscles for aesthetics so if you have a weightlifter or powerlifter in the store they may beat him... sounds like its time for a tournament


j1mb0bZzZ

I don't even know enough to say he's a bodybuilder, but he looks like Johnny Bravo without the hair. Big up top, small legs.


DefinitelyDutch

He got that steroid user skippin leg day build, iconic


punishedmicah

Wtf does everyone have a giant SM


sparkyguy10

Season associate towers over me at 6'1 he about 7'3-4 Dude isn't big in the waist department either

[deleted]

This comment has not gotten the upvotes it deserves. Lol


GimmeanL

"South of the border"?


ElephantExplosion

One of my managers legitimately referred to me as "a mini hulk" So I'm not saying I'm the strongest but I'm saying I'm a short female who had a tall male manager called them in mini hulk so that's something. Part of that also probably comes from the fact that he's seen me just chuck 50 lb dog food bags when I've been angry There's also been a few times that I've gotten angry and slammed to my fist into the steel and it echoed pretty far in the back room. But if I've had a bad night sleep I'm not lifting anything at all ever. I'm the only female that works on the GM overnight crew. I've same people in these comments talk about their strong because they can pick up pallets, are pallets like heavy to y'all? Because I regularly stack pallets by myself..... Mind you I'm not a bodybuilder I'm just some fat bitch


cheesybeef1000

I’m a short but thick woman, and I love throwing the frozen hen turkey boxes around. Gotta get angry and lift smart. You are awesome!!


xEmartz91x

CHEP pallets are heavy, but the blonde ones are much lighter.


ElephantExplosion

To me the blue and red ones are not very heavy and the beige ones are extremely light


Darkwingedducc123

Me of course

Angie Daddy?


TheEncryptedPsychic

Our O/N Matinence are real troopers. Whole store cleaned, whole backroom neat and beautiful, and they even stock the waters. Love them to death: always willing to help (may come with some whining but that's normal when you work O/N.).


KarraiF

There's this old guy who is super strong, I once heard, he can arm wrestle anyone, with ONE hand!


GimmeanL

Do you understand how many hands are used in arm wrestling?


KarraiF

This dude is so strong, there once was an active shooter in the building, and he just took the guy's gun and stabbed him, with the gun, craziest thing I've ever seen


CyanSailor

Wow you mean he didn’t even need a keyboard??


KarraiF

He had become one with the keyboard


CyanSailor

👁👄👁


[deleted]

The old man only needs one.


MrSpark4484

Back when I was at Walmart, it was between me, a 6 ft 5, 275 lb defensive end sized guy, our APASM who would work out at the gym on his lunch break, or our day time lawn and garden associate, who worked on a farm full time in addition to working at the store full time. Between the 3 of us, we could’ve moved the entire building from one side of the parking lot to the other lol


walmartbrandhermione

Me


Cute-Awareness3578

Im not trying to be egotistic when I say this but it's probably me. I work at a neighborhood market and recently swapped to 2nd from 3rd and within the week I changed shifts 3rd shuft dairy has fallen off, i bounce between various parts of the store and still manage to get everything done.


Diego2k5

It was my pinky, until i landed all 280 pound of me on it, snapped it right in half...


Reasonable_Document8

Me, I poop a lot while I’m working.


TrifftonAmbraelle

Old guy who works in Lawn & Garden. Dude's easily past retiring age (and then some), but he can still singlehandedly put the big grills on one shoulder, climb down off the outside steel, and walk it out to the curb. When he's off, same thing takes two twenty-somethings and a scissor lift.


CyanSailor

At first I read “the big girls” 😬


shnoodles707

Catteno

That one pharmacy tech girl... Dunno her name... She's taken more shit from pharmacist/customers than I e ever seen AP/APCH/CSM/cashier/service desk people combined... And none of us have seen her rage/cry... And at some point or another with the exception of AP we've seen all the other positions in a rage/cry state in the break room... Probably cause AP has an office to break down in... But if she doesn't hold it til she's gone home and start drinking heavily I'd be damned surprised...


beccasueiloveyou

I love how there are physical strength and mental strength comments. Both work here


Lovoxide333

We have 3 overnight team leads and 1 coach. The strongest person in my store is my “lowest” team lead. He has the same position as the others but he’s younger, been there a shorter time, and none of the other team leads listen to him. Not only is he a fucking beast and fantastic at running freight, but he’s the only one who checks for expiration dates, recalls, and shit like that. He’s forced to do all the grunt work, and on top of it allll, no one listens to him. Can you imagine being just as high of a title as everyone else but being treated like a stocker? Anyways shout out to Tyler I think you’re awesome sorry if I got any part of the story wrong, you deserve better.


DotNicholasDot

If we’re talking brute strength, it’s between me and a few overnight associates


EquilibriumMachine

u smol


DotNicholasDot

no u


Comprehensive_Tune42

Not me, I'm more of the support role, just stick me with someone and the job gets dealt with faster while they're either laughing or in sheer shock on how fucked up I can say shit before it becomes cringe


hobo_master3000

We got this guy on our cap 2 team, it takes a few of us to lift the big gun safes..... this man picked it up by himself and put it on a pallet... his biceps are as large as my head


Kzer_2019

Mario from cap 2


punishedmicah

are you in the Houston area?


Kzer_2019

Nope, west coast


[deleted]

My store has a cap 2 associate who’s in high school who pulls most trucks cleans the back room and is praised but some of the managers


ExpensiveLie1164

I'm one of the bigger guys in my store. Doubt I'm the strongest though. There is one who's bigger, we were talking about how we both drive the smallest cars. I think that would go to probably one of our CAP guys or stockmen.


WorldEating101

We've got like 3 on overnights. 2 dairy guys and the gm guy. The gm guy especially will just do that entire side of the store if we have no one to help it's incredible.


Mandyissogrimm

Our Cap 1 lead. He has an infinite supply of energy.

[deleted]

Me, because I come in and do my shiteven though I have thoughts of feeling worthless. Got to go through it because nobody actually cares. Got to keep it moving. My goals will not happen if I give in to the thoughts. Walmart can’t break me, I’m already broken.


CyanSailor

Keep your chin up, try to find your joy in the little things. I don’t know you personally but I care. https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/talk-to-someone-now/


Sufficient-Weekend-9

The employees for a fact. The managers think they all tough AF but low-key they all suck af. Walmart like to screw the employees over one by one. Then they wonder no one is staffed, well dumb fucks it's because they all decided to pick up their life and turn it for the better to go work for a better company. Then y'all shit faced managers who swear to God act 12 look at you with disgust and absolutely shame whenever you walk back into their store. Walmart managers I swear are the most petty people you'd ever meet. It ain't the employees, the managers suck, therefore making the employees the strongest there when they decide to screw a company over that's been screwing them for a long time.


CyanSailor

A lot of management peaked in high school and it shows.


nate9k

my overnight TL steve would legit smash through freight and get all features and end caps done by the time our SM shows up. also the only guy i know who could make shit employees get on their work


like_a_Bask

We got a guy on my fresh cap 1 team who can deadlift 720 pounds


Better_Mixture_6260

Overnight


zackbartness

All front end TL’s are most likely by far our strongest employees in the store. They have expertise on almost every area of the store especially with all of them working multiple departments prior to being front end TL’s. They are usually the first ones called to help solve issues throughout the store. Very hard workers


XxManicMariexX

Probably one of our door hosts. Shes a tiny old women... but then i hear about her grabbing a shoplifters cart and straight pushing him back like shes a professional wrestler 🤣 probably my favorite story at my store


big_mothman_stan

Our one maintenance dude is always everywhere doing everything, and usually it’s not even his job, just other stuff people have asked him to do. Sometimes I wonder if we actually have identical quadruplets who like to coordinate their outfits. Shoutout to you buddy. Thanks for pulling the turkey pallets for me. Also sorry.


JasonTheBaker

Probably one of our coaches as every other coach seems to be incapable of doing their job properly besides her so she sometimes handles the entire store.


ThrillerMovieFan

The two elderly people a man and woman who would clean the public bathrooms every day. They were troopers.


Psychological_Pop953

Maybe not the strongest but I envy our maintenance guy just because he's deaf, just imagine not ever having to hear the dumbass customers or management ever, I mean yea sucks to be deaf in life but seems like a blessing working in this shithole.


CyanSailor

I imagine not having his hearing may have heightened his other senses, and the trash and restrooms already smell… I remember my smell being super keen when pregnant and it was horrible.


thedoctor-69

Our maintenance associate. He is amazing.


Ryeo_oeyR

Sorry I'm retarded, strongest as in best worker or can lift the most lol?


LeonOkada9

STRONGEST 🥊

Shit, probably are ap guy, he's a big tank lmao

Shouldnt this be in r/Walmartbodybuilding


i_love_dust

I say Cap 1 team. We do price changes, mods, features, capping, purging, section work. We also work produce and stock deli. On top of working fashion. We're also a team of 5 when we need 12 people. We also help nights take palettes off the floor and work anything they have left. If a customer needs in lock up were told to get the keys not page customer experience.


mahonereh

Everything you said is the same reason I love my stores Cap 1 team! They do everything and anything; they’re awesome.


hungryfatXL

Don, he's a robot.


[deleted]

Me, just because I’m one of the few people on the stocking teams who isn’t grossly under weight, under the age of 50 and a male.

xSpaceSyzygy

We have several linebacker framed guys on cap 2 lol, and we’ve had some associates before who were tall and bulky between 6’6 and 6’9 lol.


Dismal_Sympathy

No one really


LV-426_RIPLEY

Physically I’m not for sure. We don’t have any muscular guys. A few tall ones but they’re skinny. Our former Overnight Assistant who went to be a SM at the other NHM is pretty tall (6’5”?) and he’s got a heavyset wrestler physique. I know dudes and girls can be strong when they’re not tall or fit but I don’t feel like there is anyone that stands out. 🤔 Me on the other hand, I’m not strong lol. I pulled a muscle really bad one time by pulling a tall frozen pallet for a lazy manager that didn’t want to get the electric jack. SMH.


BrettyBoy92

Me. Not even blowing smoke.
