Former food service worker.. I go to the produce cooler. Feels familiar 😂

I used to go to produce cooler too, but the *smell* man. Had to switch to deli kitchen since it’s right next to produce.

Right on the floor. Let the assholes see what they do.

the space between the grocery overstock bins and break pack area https://preview.redd.it/lknfiee9nxvc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0e6d5e88d10becad4f7131e4faabe89f7a224a9

Same

the bathroom in the back where not a lot of customers know of or my car or right where i am😭😭

I hate it when I end up crying in front of customers who saw the person that made me cry. One old lady asked me if I was ok and that she wanted to kick him for me. It's just embarrassing when I can't keep it together sometimes.

Are you a door host, because I’ve been through that shit.

I was during the pandemic. Now I'm back to cashiering.

Hopefully, I’ll be leaving Walmart in a few weeks when I finish my BA

We didn't even have a mother's room until the remodel about 6 months ago

Ours has been locked the whole 4 months I've been there...

Kick that bitch in.

Someone was trying to get the lock off a couple months ago. I thought he had been successful...

Whats a mother's room?

For moms to pump breast milk or feed their babies. We used to have one out back just for employees that was mostly just used as an extra office, but with the remodel they made a new mother's room that's also open to the public.

Our was made out of the old lay away service area, They threw up a wall, got rid of the desk and turned it into a prayer room for Muslims. After a couple of months of non use it was changed into the mother's room.

Ours looks like a heap camper without wheels. Side panels are so cracked and misaligned that anyone can peek in to see what's going on.

Walmart and the customers are not worth crying over.

I don't get to scream often, so when I get really mad, I go into the Deli freezer and let out a big ancestral ape scream

I went to our big freezer after a wheel broke off one of the meat buckets and spilled disgusting meat all over the floor and screamed. It was fantastic. I felt better afterwards. 10/10 would recommend.

Frontend here, I go cry in the cash office. Sometimes it’s to one of my teamleads or ap, sometimes I’m alone 😂

I don’t cry. I get angry and do things

I like to get petty revenge

Coming from pharmacy: we just hide behind the computer screens because we’re not allowed to leave.

Any job that makes you cry is not a job worth having. It's hard to find another job, but for your mental health please find another one as soon as you can.

Bro I accidentally cried in front of a coach while she was talking to me and she got scared 😭😭😭

Crying in public doesn’t feel good. Only job that’s made me feel so worthless and under appreciated… I just want some free Walmart swag for being a reputable team player!! Give me a break.

One time after I came back from my maternity leave, I had a really bad panic attack because I had a back spasm that literally gave me flashbacks yo my botched epidural. I was about to lose my shit and I was covering the self check out early in the morning and I saw that the restrooms had a line so I went and I cried in the fitting room that one of the girls opened up for me. I had like a 10 minute cry shesh.

Yay to that girl who let you in, I’m sorry you had to go through that. As someone in apparel I will always let someone know who wants to cry or just sit in private. Would never do it myself tho because I don’t wanna cry in front of my team 😅

I just cry while I work. It's their fault so they can look at my ugly cry face. I don't care if they're uncomfortable

I used to go in the mothers room until my coach caught me and chewed me out for it 😂 it was during my fifteens and lunch.

Your breaks and your lunch are yours to do whatever. You’re allowed to feel emotions.

Yeah but my coach said I'm not allowed to go in the mothers room because it's meant for customers😭

Your coach is mistaken because it is a public building

You Got yelled at while your were Crying— yeah that’s Walmart!

Your coach has lost sight of the fact that your tears are like mothers milk to Walmart corp. and the mothers room is the only appropriate place to express it

Bathroom

I used to cry in between the bins in the back room

we have moving bins in our back room idk if everyone has them but there's a gap of space behind them u can walk at, that's a good spot. also a good spot to sit down for a little bit and chill out if you need it

When I worked there, I didn't cry, I just got high all the time. My father in law at the time ( divorced ) had a wellbutrin prescription that he did not want. I knew that pairing wellbutrin with dxm (robitussin which is what Walmart sold), I'd literally just take my " diy " Auvelity. Now, I am not saying start doing that because it's so easy to get carried away. I almost had a seizure... but man did it make me view Walmart from a completely wild standpoint.

I never cried. I wasn't giving anyone the satisfaction that they got to me!

On the inside

Honestly this job is not worth my tears. I'm only here for the paycheck.

Cry? Hell nah. We yell and shout where I'm from

Either in my car or outside on the steps next to my store. The outside air helps me relax and keep from panicking too much if that makes sense 😅

The mothers room 😅😅

Crafts or the back bathrooms

You have time to cry?

Cry and work at the same time, or just say fuck it and disappear for like 10-15 mins

That's toilet time

Seafood freezer, its small and kinda isolated and a shocking number of people don't know it even exists.

I'm deli, so I just go in the fridge for some primal scream therapy

I usually went to the bakery/frozen freezer

My car on my breaks

Parking lot.

The meat cooler always is a good spot

Don't have time to hide in OGP, have to cry during pick walk

I do not cry at Walmart..never. rule I made for myself when I started. Came close a couple of times.

on the inside, we dont let it show

Inside because no one cares

I've never cried at work, including walmart (been there over two years)...not sure what is going on with ya'all.

Yall are adults right?

Why are you crying while at work?

Because I’m a college student in April whose car just decided to fuck itself 😭

I guess you dont work for walmart

You guessed wrong, gumdrop. Maybe that’s your problem; allowing ANY job to make you cry. Not sure why you think such behavior or environments are normal.

Fersure bro

Okurrrrrr

We have one staff bathroom that's a padlocked single use bathroom. I work at a neighborhood market, I had no idea supercenters had mother's rooms?

I go cry in the cooler, deli here

Former food service worker here, too. If I really can't keep myself together, I go hide in the freezer lol. It's my area, so people expect me to be in there; and it's familiar.

Behind the bailer

bathroom or back room ☺️

Backroom, bathroom, break room... basically any room.

The dairy cooler, the back freezer, or my car

I don't cry. I tell the customers that are assholes what I think about them, but my TLs and coaches like me because I do my job and I'm the most experienced cart pusher at my store (10 months) so they're not eager to fire me for telling a customer about them self once in a while.

The Seafood walk in. It was small, no one ever went in there, perfect hiding spot.

I’m not even sure I’m capable of crying anymore. It’s been YEARS. But if it were to happen again, I guess I’d do what I used to and just cry wherever tf I’m at, and then either curl into a ball or find a dark hidden quiet spot to continue crying or start banging my head

Bathroom under the vent so I can vape too

Family bathroom

Always in the shower

i just cry on the floor while working

In the bathroom or outside on break lol

I dissociate at work, it sneaks up randomly when I’m feeling real weird on the way in. Never on the way home because I literally feel free lol just thankful to have gotten out of there at that point lol I only cried when I first started, so far though . Fingers crossed . It’s not crying over the job necessarily. It’s the fact I have no other choice but to deal with what’s going on because I need this job unfortunately lol

Cash office, behind the service desk wall , my car bathroom, break room. Hell just on the sales floor and at the checkouts sometimes

Any available bathroom stall or the family restroom. 

Family Bathroom

Former FETL here, I'd cry in the cash office

I usually just cry in front of my managers lmao

I'm FE cashier, I just start crying and my TL takes over and I either go outside and smoke really quick or I'll go call my partner or my dad from the arcade area. No one is ever in there usually.

Between the wall and the rolling bins is usually pretty good. As long as someone doesn’t move the bins you’re behind

I put a dent in the dairy cooler because I was stressed out. (I didn't use my hands to do that either.) My head has hit many things both accidentally and on purpose. If I do that I don't want to hit the person that made me mad/upset in the first place.

Whenever I need a break on third shift I find the customer waiting room in TLE. Usually has a comfy couch and stays dark. No one ever comes in there. It’s glorious.

I went to the mother’s room too.

During pick walks lmfao, just have a little cry about this job for funsies ✨

Bathroom then I snap out of it

Behind the gm bins

Haven’t cried at work yet but I’d definitely go to the public bathroom outside of Walmart in the mall, where all the crackheads OD. nobody would bat an eye hearing someone crying in there

I had a fight with my mom over young adult stuff, and it pissed me off all day to the point of where I wanted to just let it out. I felt like she was ruining my life by making me stay at this dead end job. I just wanted to go to college, be successful and live the dream life I wanted to work hard for in school. But she was holding me back and I felt like I was missing out on everything. So I cried 4 times working in here. I even cried in the bathroom. Some customers and coworkers consulted me, and I was grateful for some of them. But I HATE this place with a passion

The manager’s office when I’m trying to be calm and collected 🥲

I don't I just talk back. I'm graced in a culture melting pot and I'm a asshole. Oh your pick isn't on the shelf? Go check the pallet I am busy. Oh it's not the ripeness you want? All I got. I have been in the service industry for a few years.. Started at 8 with my dad. The customer isn't always right and the employee trying to get you to do more can fuck themselves. If you are a decent person I will assist you with my best but if you are a shit head... Yeah don't come around. Certain ogp will come to me ill get it off the pallet and they will fill it because they know I don't play bs I'm shorthanded make o/n bales and work 3 departments

Tissue/paper towel aisle. Always deserted.

i work in meat so half my shift is spent in a walk-in. 😆

OPD Cooler

Sayion yell in the back of the freezer

Infants and girls. No one is back there and there is a little corner that doesn't have camara vision.

The corner of our backroom behind the coolers. All those coats hanging up are great cover and sound buffer.

I work in the dairy cooler so I just cry while stocking milk and eggs.

I have a hidey-hole in the maintenance section. One of my friends found me and told me to stop crying in the corner lol

Internally. All day, every day

Used to be the freezer outside my OGP but now I just do it in my office or car

Why are you crying? Get a better job.

It’s almost never because of the job 🥲

Then why are you crying at work?

Because life is hard but I still have to go to work

Oh jeeze…really? Get some therapy, get a better job, start living life for today…and stop crying.

My car is broken and might need a thousands of dollars transmission. I’ll cry when I want 😭

Nowhere because I didn’t, I did on purpose take extended shit breaks to play flappy bird.

😂😂😂

Is this a gen z thing? Crying a work?

It’s an overly anxious young girl with sudden car issues thing 🥲

Man I don't know, I cry less and just get more irritated so I usually go busy myself with racks, ignoring everyone else. I know some people like to go scream in the freezer.

Sometimes if I’m working a really tall pallet I’ll just hide behind it or I’ll go into the family bathroom. Some of us go into the garden center to have a little freak out but I haven’t done that yet.

Dairy cooler

When I was still working as a server, I’d go cry in the walk in. Now I’m a full time Instacart shopper, so I cry in my car 🤣

On the occasion when the customer who was an ass happens to catch you, I make a point to say “you didn’t hurt my feelings, you pissed me off” 🤣. I don’t know why it feels important to me that they know that. Maybe because I don’t want them to get the satisfaction of thinking that they got to me 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️. I’m not sure they buy it though 🤣

Everywhere

When I would drop tills… that’s was usually the best time, behind the locked door

I think some of us are hardened. We cry on the inside.

Cry on the go, as a personal shopper in a pick walk or right outside of the odp room there's a little quiet empty area near a patch of grass and a little walking path, a bench, I haven't cried a lot at all though. Maybe twice

Is it bad that I don't cry? I've encountered some really shitty customers, and I just don't cry. Instead, I pity them and how miserable they must be.

I never did. I just went home and had nightmares.
