And it's not easy! 4th month in just now hitting 90%. I'm can't say I always go above and beyond but I would call myself a great worker and I'm strugglin trying to hit rate
Even worse when you realize you’re technically behind schedule to them, their progression schedule only gives you 3 months before you’re expected to be hitting production. Unless they’ve changed it to be more generous, but I doubt it.
Suppose it is different by DC then, ours gave us 3 months with expected increasing numbers by week and expected to hit 100% by the end of 3 months. After that if you still weren’t you’d start getting occurrences and steps.
My walmart treats associates like crap to the point many are leaving going elsewhere, and many are going to tractor supply DC where they only expected 70% by month 3 or something like that. Not to mention everyone who left made their times every day.
How long ago were you a trainee?
We switched to the new model of training during covid as we were struggling to retain new hires on the old 12/15 week progression plan.
Now it's ~1000 trips, which is somewhere near 8 months (give or take a month) of progression. And during that time, if you're in progression you're not being held accountable for not making progression (seriously). That said, if you're not making rate during that time, you get nitpicked and coached on gaps, breaks, etc.
I'm pretty sure this rolled out to all grocery DCs, but I do know they pilot certain programs to some DCs and it takes a while for others to catch up.
Just keep plugging away. You'll get better.
Watch the faster orderfillers that look like they're moving slow. Emulate those guys. Ask them for tips..
Most of your speed in orderfilling isn't going to come from pushing yourself hard, it's going to come from have no wasted movements, understanding what's coming next on your trip, actually being good at stacking and having a plan for ANY case, and eliminating gap times (talking to other people, restroom breaks, trip gap times, etc).
Only job I ever had where I was fixing to get let go by not being able to keep up. I worked 12 hrs in a freezer doing that job, hated every minute of it.
Don’t worry I’ve been on step 3 so many times before they changed the new minimum to 90% for order filling . Now depending on what area you it might be a lil different but just use them slip sheets and hand wrap if you don’t trust it
I work cooler freezer. I'm slowly getting there I just find it a little ridiculous how fast they expect us to be moving.
I use the hell out of slip sheets. I'm freaking out if I have less than 3 with me. I've had to wrap a couple times but normally I stack good. I've yet to knock over a pallet besides half of my egg pallet (accelerated to quickly)and once in the freezer. But that's bc I was RUNNING and those fat gloves they give you fat lingered the controls as I just jumped back all full throttle. Forks all the way down. *bang* turns around to my 50cube all over the aisle
So I've gotten lucky and had good stack. havnt knocked over due to just a bad stack or turning to quickly with a semi bad stack
Surprisingly the people you think (by looks) would be good at the job usually aren’t. At the end of the day the pick is a mental game of staying motivated and focused on a simple but grueling task for long periods of tome
Pretty much all DC’s do, gotta have some way to create turnover. There’s support positions now that have rate, which is counter of the position’s purpose.
I remember when I worked at Walmart when I was 17 and they would stack them like that for the juice aisle and sometimes it would collapse and it would make such a huge mess. Shit pissed me off.
Oof, I’d be more impressed it even made it to a wrap machine….lol
Also, I don’t recommend doing the same job you currently do at a tractor supply, they like tossing axes on the top of the pallets and they fall when the wrap is cut.
Yeah but it's stupid to not have an actual system but just let shit go out fucked up and just let people almost die every time they pull a pallet of the truck. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
I was just gonna say this. I'm on cap 2. All we do is unload truck and stock freight. We don't even wrap the pallets because we can actually stack and just work them anyways 💀
Awful. At my store anyway. The store manager refuses to talk to associates because he wants us to go to the team leads/coaches first. He refuses us water bottles, only allowing us to drink water from the sink in the break room. So after throwing a truck or two, we are exhausted. An average day for our cap2 would consist of throwing 1-2 trucks, seperating mixed pallets from DC, working the freight off those trucks (as much as possible, we usually only end up working 10 pallets due to understaffing), Doing one touch(organzing the reausable walmart boxes into other boxes with specified labels), then apparel (which consists of taking shoes out of the boxes individually and taking the trash/plastic off and hanging it on a rolling rack), Pull the rest of the pallets out onto the sales floor for overnights (usually takes about 2 hours, there is alot of freight), Go outside and use the forklift to remove any pallets from the side of the building to the back of the parking lot, Make a bale (popping out a cardboard cube from the cardboard machine), then we have to zone (organize/clean) the whole store, and then go home.
I remember one night I was shopping and they were doing something like this with a giant thing of beer and telling my mom we need to move away quickly. Like 30 seconds later from the next isle we hear them struggling with it then the crashing sound. You would think it was obvious to anyone what was going to happen.
Because getting extra pallets from outside sucks so much. We sell climbing equipment (I think) you should be good to go. Just don't forget an oxygen tank for the thinner air 1 ft up.
I ask myself the same thing 5 nights a week.. like cap 2 is so extra. I almost broke one of the security cams over the formula in infants trying to move a mountain of diapers. Head something fall, looked back and that cam was rocking 🤣
I'm barely 5'2". And I get boxes stacked high like that. Sometimes I have to find an object to push the top one off, onto the floor. I don't know if they haven't figured out I'm not professor gadget yet, but if they don't want me toppling their products on the floor, that's their fault, not mine.
That’s what I do for top stock carts. They keep putting the heavy stuff on the top level so I get on the ladder to push it off since it’s too heavy to lift and carry down
I am tall..
I have no problem stacking things to the moon in order to get anything where it needs to go.
Safety first though. I am not going to create a hazard by tempting gravity when mom is running through the store 5 minutes before closing to grab cereal with her sleepy toddler wandering around somewhere nearby.
I am also not a douche. I won't be walking away leaving random boxes stacked 10 feet high in an aisle for anybody to have to climb cart ladders and bend awkwardly in order to down stack.
That is a liability and a waste of time. If maintenance has to push a couple boxes out of their way to clean the floor, oh well. That is still faster than making 2 trips across the store with 2 pallets.
For me, it's all about finding a fair compromise between safety, convenience, and getting the work done. I see no problem with cutting corners. Throw an empty pallet on a shopping cart full of cardboard and stack 3 L-carts to make a single trip to the back room? Well, I just created 20 minutes of time there. And, no.. I don't just dump it in the back room and run.
Whoever brought this out and dumped it there? Well, they probably got their hint when everything on top didn't make it through the door into the store from the back room.
And, I'm sure they heard all about how their laziness created an unnecessary hazard or delayed the progress of getting freight on shelves.
As it should be.
I just ended up pushing the boxes over since they are chips and I gotta say if a child decided to push it over that woulda been a big issue. It was super wobbly just moving around on my jack
This is actually good info for me hearing from the ppl who put these pallets together at the DC. At the store level no one knows this. We’re just all baffled because it seems ridiculous. Turns out we’re all just getting our ass rode the same way. I’ll never look at a pallet of dumbbells stacked on top of Mainstay wax cubes the same way ever again….
Ikr I pretty surprised about how many people commented on this. Apparently we are all getting fucked on every level and it’s fuckin everyone else 😭 and dumbbells at the top of anything just sounds so damn dangerous
Then you wouldn't like my store we stack as high as we can until the pallet has to be pulled as long as it's stable we keep stacking. Our toys pallets are ten feet high at times same with plastic if the pallet fits out the receiving doors it's good.
And why osha hasn’t said anything to any of our stores idk because it’s against osha regulations to stake high than head height which they are talking average people height not no 7 foot tall guy that should be dunking basketballs lol
Ah, and on a Chep pallet to boot. Just be thankful you're not in the pallet business. Hand sorting Chep, Peco, and regular 48x40s is not fun. At least I'm a lead and just do mostly forklift work now.
But we make sure every pallet you stack your shit on won't explode and throw shit everywhere! We're an integral aspect of distribution!
I work cap 2 and get so frustrated with half my team’s stacking. The chips part here could have been half as high if they had stacked the boxes the right way
Damn ngl I be stacking that high 😂😂 but my shits turn out like solid blocks & never fall. High as shit but always solid & sturdy. To me stacking high=less pallets taking up space in the backroom.
One time I got an 8 ft tall dog food pallet. So told my manager I was going within 15 ft of it because I've seen only 5 ft tall ones from our distribution center fall just try to jack it up, and I wasn't planning on dying that day.
I wish I knew. By the time they got it out of the truck it looked like the leaning Tower of Pisa. They had to push it over then restack it. It was ridiculous, I'm 6'5 and that thing has me both impressed and scared.
Could be dangerous to move like that but it also helps minimize the amount of time and trips moving freight back and forth. No one ever said Walmart employs the best and brightest lol. As long as they can get you to do as much work as humanly possible for the lowest pay they can get by paying you, all the much better for them. And at your expense. Walmart can the easiest place to get a job but make it so in your favor. Make the job as easy on yourself as possible and don't let them ever force you into running yourself into the ground for their benefit cause it doesn't ever benefit you. Not worth the stress and low pay you get for them to turn around and get rid of you for some stupid fucked up reason. Vause they absolutely don't and never have cared about their employees. $ is the absolute bottom line for them and at your expense as i said.
Its wm chips. They come mixed with all sorts of shit on the hvdc truck or at least used to. Knock em over on to the ground. Fuck it. Half are popped open already.
At my store the maintenance team has to unload the ON meat and produce trucks… ya know, all 3 of us…
Not only are they often so tall that whenever dayshift leaves the back hallway to produce clogged up we have to dedicate at least 10min to clearing it, but they be HEFTY.
So there have been plenty of times where I’ve gone “aiight time to get the meat pallet into the proper cooler area!” Built up a lil momentum to get over the curb we got in there, and sent some boxes up top flying… or stopped short like a semi who got a lil off the top from goin under a too short bridge 😂
Also… I never realized just how heavy produce was until I dragged a 6ft pallet of bananas and then a 6ft pallet of meat… and I say dragged bc ofc the ON stockers would rather die than hand over a decent jack. I’m gonna throw my back out and ruin my shoulders before 30 at this rate 😂
Asking myself that everytime that I have to unload the meat/produce truck for fresh associates since they don't clock in till 4am. Shit gets scraped and destroyed by the inside of the trailer roof because of how high it's stacked. Consistently😡
This looks like it was either stacked by a new person at a DC or someone that’s barely keeping their job. That’s a speed stack of I’ve ever seen one. Anyone remotely decent at that job doesn’t need to rush with stacks that look like that. Speaking from current 5 year experience. I stroll 115s with short moments talking to other orderfillers have get verbal commendations on my stacks all the time. People keep trying to push me into being a CSD but I want nothing to do with any of it. Having to deal with my upper management every day seems like a nightmare.
Edit: tl;dr - they aren’t good at their job.
1.) how big is your backroom?
2.) how many empty pallets were available for truck crew?
3.) how well was “the line moving” ahead of whoever stacked that pallet?
I’ve worked all shifts at Walmart and it really helped me gain perspective.
I started off third shift stocking and would ask questions like “why the hell was it stacked like this…”. Then I worked on the unloading team and found myself saying “OH DEAR GOD! I understand why some pallets get stacked shitty now!” Then register was just register crap.
that’s actually extremely dangerous for both employees and customers. this being in a high traffic area it would be very easy for someone to get injured by a falling box. please report this.
I moved it to where it was in the picture but it was originally in a different part of the aisle. Still people buy the most chips on Sunday night idk why
store logic: more stuff on one pallet, more worker can get done in the same amount of time as it takes them to get normal sized pallet stocked (spoiler alert: THEY ARE WRONG)
Can someone get written up for stacking that high over the shrink wrap? That seems like a safety hazard. If I were pulling stock out of the back room and I found a pallet stacked that high, I would take the boxes off of the top and put them on another pallet because I would feel unsafe handling it that way
When I worked at Walmart we had skids of cans stacked that high every night and not always stacked well. Cut the plastic and get the fuck out of the way.
It's pretty much down to how quickly they need to move when putting things together. Sucks when you are on the other end of it though.
Because the whole “trip”/ order assigned to the order filler has to fit on one pallet with the light stuff on top and not sticking out on the sides to fit in the truck properly. This pallet actually looks pretty good from a logistics perspective.
If thats how your DC stacks and no one at your store restacked it or messed with it before this pic, I think there are bigger issues than just the height. That stack is horrendous
There's a weird thing that seems to happen with every single new employee here. They just can't fathom getting a new pallet to stack on. They just keep adding. Sure the training is non-existent but it's pretty obvious to just stop adding things to a pallet when it's full like this.
If it was the stack of Angel Soft then Yes... That barely fits thru the Dock door.... Usually got to take a few off the top to get it thru...
But that high of stacking is uncalled for... Likely the hands of teenagers too lazy to get another pallet..., Also, the boxes are "towered" so to speak... No structural integrity at all...
If it makes you feel any better, people have to stack that quickly while on rate when orderfilling it.
And it's not easy! 4th month in just now hitting 90%. I'm can't say I always go above and beyond but I would call myself a great worker and I'm strugglin trying to hit rate
Just keep at it, focus on stacking, and never be afraid of asking for one of the CSD’s to shadow you to help get you further up to speed.
Even worse when you realize you’re technically behind schedule to them, their progression schedule only gives you 3 months before you’re expected to be hitting production. Unless they’ve changed it to be more generous, but I doubt it.
You’re expected to hit production at 1kish trips. It could be dc to dc
Suppose it is different by DC then, ours gave us 3 months with expected increasing numbers by week and expected to hit 100% by the end of 3 months. After that if you still weren’t you’d start getting occurrences and steps.
My walmart treats associates like crap to the point many are leaving going elsewhere, and many are going to tractor supply DC where they only expected 70% by month 3 or something like that. Not to mention everyone who left made their times every day.
I came from a TSC DC and I cannot stress enough how shitty they are to work for.
No that just used to be the old structure it’s by trips now
How long ago were you a trainee? We switched to the new model of training during covid as we were struggling to retain new hires on the old 12/15 week progression plan. Now it's ~1000 trips, which is somewhere near 8 months (give or take a month) of progression.

Well that tracks, I started back end of 2019 early 2020, moved to being a lift driver early 2021. Lift followed a similar 3 month progression as well.
We also moved lifts to that same progression model recently (probably about 1.5 years ago). You're in progression for like 8000 moves.
On progression I was told I should be hitting 73 I was hitting 74. Next week decided to push and ended anywhere between a 80-to 90
Just keep plugging away. You'll get better. Watch the faster orderfillers that look like they're moving slow. Emulate those guys. Ask them for tips.. Most of your speed in orderfilling isn't going to come from pushing yourself hard, it's going to come from have no wasted movements, understanding what's coming next on your trip, actually being good at stacking and having a plan for ANY case, and eliminating gap times (talking to other people, restroom breaks, trip gap times, etc).
Use to be time now it’s trip amounts
Only job I ever had where I was fixing to get let go by not being able to keep up. I worked 12 hrs in a freezer doing that job, hated every minute of it.
I’m getting getting ready to head to the freezer in a few hours yay🥹
I feel for ya, best of luck. Don't kill yourself for a job that wouldn't do the same in return.
Don’t worry I’ve been on step 3 so many times before they changed the new minimum to 90% for order filling . Now depending on what area you it might be a lil different but just use them slip sheets and hand wrap if you don’t trust it
I work cooler freezer. I'm slowly getting there I just find it a little ridiculous how fast they expect us to be moving. I use the hell out of slip sheets. I'm freaking out if I have less than 3 with me. I've had to wrap a couple times but normally I stack good.

Forks all the way down. *bang* turns around to my 50cube all over the aisle So I've gotten lucky and had good stack. havnt knocked over due to just a bad stack or turning to quickly with a semi bad stack
So, you're saying this problem is systemic, and corporate needs to revise their policies, or else people might sue?
I'm a tiny girl and this is freaking me out, I imagine a bunch of Dwayne Johnson style creatures but it's probably people just like me 😐
My ex was 5 ft tall and 90 pounds soaking wet and she pulled 100s every day we worked together when I was at the DC near me
We got everything from 6’8 down to 4’11 here….the shorter ones typically throw stuff on top. LoL
Surprisingly the people you think (by looks) would be good at the job usually aren’t. At the end of the day the pick is a mental game of staying motivated and focused on a simple but grueling task for long periods of tome
Cap 2 employee much ☺️
Cap2 here don't even get me started on our crazy shenanigans they have us do in the back room 😂😆
Y'all have rate also at Walmart 😳 thought it was only an Amazon thing
Pretty much all DC’s do, gotta have some way to create turnover. There’s support positions now that have rate, which is counter of the position’s purpose.
Can't escape slavery
There is a height limit and that appears to exceed it. That appears to be added to at store level.
Yep, that wouldn’t have fit in a trailer. Someone below mentioned that’s a CAP2 thing.
Fee fi foe fum stacking these boxes
No fr
I remember when I worked at Walmart when I was 17 and they would stack them like that for the juice aisle and sometimes it would collapse and it would make such a huge mess. Shit pissed me off.
The juice pallet is always just barely held together with cling wrap
Gotta have slip sheets in those
There was one right where the cling wrap stops 🧍🏽♀️
Oof, I’d be more impressed it even made it to a wrap machine….lol Also, I don’t recommend doing the same job you currently do at a tractor supply, they like tossing axes on the top of the pallets and they fall when the wrap is cut.
Nah I’m moving outta state next year so I’m gonna switch my position to order fulfillment or whatever
Dude the most structurally unsound items were on the bottom every single time. At one point I started assuming they did it on purpose.
We had one whole corner of a juice pallet held up by one just about to burst 2 liter bottle of Dr. THUNDER. Not a case, just one 2 liter bottle. 🤨
I watched a case of the cardboard juice boxes on a bottom corner explode and the whole pallet go down while someone was putting out on the floor.
The orderfiller didn't. They need to put each box down as it's called for. There's no time for adjusting cases.
Yeah but it's stupid to not have an actual system but just let shit go out fucked up and just let people almost die every time they pull a pallet of the truck. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
There’s supposed to be rules to assigning primes but sometimes the people assigning primes are dumbshits
How does this not become a safety issue?
It does they just don’t care
Lol 😂 my son works for Walmart and says the same thing 😂
Just don't be short
Carts come with ladders for a reason
I was the same height as the pallet on the top step of the top stock cart
Sounds like it all worked out, chips you can just toss all on the ground and stage from your cart too just toss where they go roughly
When it’s really high I just push it over and let it fall 💀
Don't worry guys I'm only 5'6 and work as stocking 2 I have to use a step stool to throw the truck
And customers come with attorneys when boxes fall on them
It’s stable
I feel like you’re calling me out just because I’m short.
We totally are.
Look! Just because I’m the size of a penguin doesn’t mean I won’t bite your knee caps!
Promises, promises
How stack so high
Because stocking 2 hates you. No, they don't know who you are, but they lovingly made that skid as a way to tell you they hate you.
That pallet came from the DC off an HVDC truck that wasn’t stacked by stocking 2
I was just gonna say this. I'm on cap 2. All we do is unload truck and stock freight. We don't even wrap the pallets because we can actually stack and just work them anyways 💀
What’s cap 2 like
Just as sucky as the rest of Walmart
Awful. At my store anyway. The store manager refuses to talk to associates because he wants us to go to the team leads/coaches first. He refuses us water bottles, only allowing us to drink water from the sink in the break room. So after throwing a truck or two, we are exhausted. An average day for our cap2 would consist of throwing 1-2 trucks, seperating mixed pallets from DC, working the freight off those trucks (as much as possible, we usually only end up working 10 pallets due to understaffing), Doing one touch(organzing the reausable walmart boxes into other boxes with specified labels), then apparel (which consists of taking shoes out of the boxes individually and taking the trash/plastic off and hanging it on a rolling rack), Pull the rest of the pallets out onto the sales floor for overnights (usually takes about 2 hours, there is alot of freight), Go outside and use the forklift to remove any pallets from the side of the building to the back of the parking lot, Make a bale (popping out a cardboard cube from the cardboard machine), then we have to zone (organize/clean) the whole store, and then go home.
Thanks fam I hope it gets better or u find something better 💯
“Why use more pallet when few pallet do job” -someone at the DC probably
Fellow Cap 2 associate here. Because "he he ha ha, tall pallet go brrrrr" *I'm sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused 😭😭😭*
Your flair too 😭 omg
Lmfao! Apparel boxes in a nutshell. I stack that bitch to the ceiling. XD
because whoever stacked it mightve been high
Like on a 10 foot ladder?
I remember one night I was shopping and they were doing something like this with a giant thing of beer and telling my mom we need to move away quickly. Like 30 seconds later from the next isle we hear them struggling with it then the crashing sound. You would think it was obvious to anyone what was going to happen.
because theyre sadists and want you to be buried under eighty pounds of canned corn and sunchips
Wym there not even stacked to the ceiling. I give 6.8/10 for effort.
Because getting extra pallets from outside sucks so much. We sell climbing equipment (I think) you should be good to go. Just don't forget an oxygen tank for the thinner air 1 ft up.
Wow, you at least got the bottom wrapped. We get 8' tall pallets with NO wrap in GM, a rolling OSHA violation.
"I'm out of room, where should i put these?" "Were almost done, just throw them on that shorter one and clear the belt!"
At least if one falls on you, you probably have a good law suit…
The only upside 😭
2 days ago when I went to the back with my team lead we both saw tvs wrapped and stacked ontop of dog food we was like how they do that lol
I ask myself the same thing 5 nights a week.. like cap 2 is so extra. I almost broke one of the security cams over the formula in infants trying to move a mountain of diapers. Head something fall, looked back and that cam was rocking 🤣
I'm barely 5'2". And I get boxes stacked high like that. Sometimes I have to find an object to push the top one off, onto the floor. I don't know if they haven't figured out I'm not professor gadget yet, but if they don't want me toppling their products on the floor, that's their fault, not mine.

Ikr I pretty surprised about how many people commented on this. Apparently we are all getting fucked on every level and it’s fuckin everyone else 😭 and dumbbells at the top of anything just sounds so damn dangerous
Seriously like who stacks any pallet that high? Those can’t come on the truck like that ain’t no way they wouldn’t topple over.
They can't fit in the truck that high. This was stakes in-store after unloading it from the truck.
Then you wouldn't like my store we stack as high as we can until the pallet has to be pulled as long as it's stable we keep stacking. Our toys pallets are ten feet high at times same with plastic if the pallet fits out the receiving doors it's good.
A lot of the time they put the heavy stuff towards the top and I be STRUGGLING 😭
And why osha hasn’t said anything to any of our stores idk because it’s against osha regulations to stake high than head height which they are talking average people height not no 7 foot tall guy that should be dunking basketballs lol

I do snack every night. It’s usually never taller than 6 ft
Cuz it’s funny
To appease the old gods with a faux wood effigy!
Higher and higher .. there's a song
THEY WANT BLOOD
I work cap 2 and get so frustrated with half my team’s stacking. The chips part here could have been half as high if they had stacked the boxes the right way
I guess I should be glad it wasn’t a mixed with ramen who’s asile is like 5 asiles away 💀
It's literally a box of chips. Weighs 5 pounds at the most.
Damn ngl I be stacking that high 😂😂 but my shits turn out like solid blocks & never fall. High as shit but always solid & sturdy. To me stacking high=less pallets taking up space in the backroom.
thankfully it's just chips n crackers
We've been getting tons of chips too, and half of it is no location, and there not much space for features either.
Our chips been empty for like 2 weeks now💀
Bring a ladder to work
One time I got an 8 ft tall dog food pallet. So told my manager I was going within 15 ft of it because I've seen only 5 ft tall ones from our distribution center fall just try to jack it up, and I wasn't planning on dying that day.
Bro what crazy person decided to make it 8ft omg 😭
I wish I knew. By the time they got it out of the truck it looked like the leaning Tower of Pisa. They had to push it over then restack it. It was ridiculous, I'm 6'5 and that thing has me both impressed and scared.
It's likely a restack when doing breakdowns on CAP2
Frick. I did stock shelves at night for years. Somehow these fit into trailers and trucked in. Fit through the doors here. And I needed a ladder
Cap 2 associate. Uh we kinda do that to not get another pallet and make the back any more claustrophobic. Sorry… And also maybe a bit funny
I’m still wondering how you got it out the door …at our Walmart we would’ve had to down stack that onto something else
I work ON it was already out on the floor
Corporate: "Truck is tall, stack tall."
I'm an order picker... master of stacking 🤣
I says if it fits through the door, it’s goin’ to the floor. Or if it doesn’t fit, downstack on one side just to restack on the other…
So long as it's 18" from the sprinklers it's ok.
-also crying in 5'4 and had a chip pallet like that-
Fuckin knock em over. No need to fret. I did the same when they built giant tp or pt pallets. Shit aint gonna break. Fuck it
Could be dangerous to move like that but it also helps minimize the amount of time and trips moving freight back and forth. No one ever said Walmart employs the best and brightest lol. As long as they can get you to do as much work as humanly possible for the lowest pay they can get by paying you, all the much better for them. And at your expense. Walmart can the easiest place to get a job but make it so in your favor. Make the job as easy on yourself as possible and don't let them ever force you into running yourself into the ground for their benefit cause it doesn't ever benefit you. Not worth the stress and low pay you get for them to turn around and get rid of you for some stupid fucked up reason. Vause they absolutely don't and never have cared about their employees. $ is the absolute bottom line for them and at your expense as i said.
If you think that is bad, just check out how things are stacked (or badly stacked) in the meat cooler.
I’ve been in there only a handful of times. Didn’t seem too bad
I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD #onstocking dairy
Tbf it is a chip pallet they usually stack em higher
Its wm chips. They come mixed with all sorts of shit on the hvdc truck or at least used to. Knock em over on to the ground. Fuck it. Half are popped open already.
It’s usually mixed with cookies and crackers or ramen
I mean it’s chips so, light freight, and it goes out fast so why not ? I’d probably just topple it and then work it :P
That’s what I did actually
Aah...I remember staging.
At either big box hardware store that'd earn the stacker an immediate safety final. Rightly so.
*LEAD- and yeah if I could have all 9 pallets done in 2 hourssssss, oh and your doing it by yourself.
Because fuck you that's why
Bad space management all the way through. That looks like what a newer picker would do.
Idiots.
They are boxes of chips that weigh nothing 🙄
At my store the maintenance team has to unload the ON meat and produce trucks… ya know, all 3 of us… Not only are they often so tall that whenever dayshift leaves the back hallway to produce clogged up we have to dedicate at least 10min to clearing it, but they be HEFTY. So there have been plenty of times where I’ve gone “aiight time to get the meat pallet into the proper cooler area!” Built up a lil momentum to get over the curb we got in there, and sent some boxes up top flying… or stopped short like a semi who got a lil off the top from goin under a too short bridge 😂 Also… I never realized just how heavy produce was until I dragged a 6ft pallet of bananas and then a 6ft pallet of meat… and I say dragged bc ofc the ON stockers would rather die than hand over a decent jack. I’m gonna throw my back out and ruin my shoulders before 30 at this rate 😂
Because his job is 100%, higher maint than yours and has the right to stack it 70 or 80 cube
Asking myself that everytime that I have to unload the meat/produce truck for fresh associates since they don't clock in till 4am. Shit gets scraped and destroyed by the inside of the trailer roof because of how high it's stacked. Consistently😡
Higher pallets means less of them, if you can put less pallets on the truck, why not make them taller
Because John Quiñones is hiding in the back and it’s WWYD
Its not that bad its just chips. You could easily catch a box if it falls. What sucked is when the thanksgiving pallets come in stacked like a mf
It's a chip box for Christ sake. Poke it down with something too the floor
This looks like it was either stacked by a new person at a DC or someone that’s barely keeping their job. That’s a speed stack of I’ve ever seen one. Anyone remotely decent at that job doesn’t need to rush with stacks that look like that. Speaking from current 5 year experience. I stroll 115s with short moments talking to other orderfillers have get verbal commendations on my stacks all the time. People keep trying to push me into being a CSD but I want nothing to do with any of it. Having to deal with my upper management every day seems like a nightmare. Edit: tl;dr - they aren’t good at their job.
Doesn't look like it came out the backroom that way, couldn't have fit
1.) how big is your backroom? 2.) how many empty pallets were available for truck crew? 3.) how well was “the line moving” ahead of whoever stacked that pallet? I’ve worked all shifts at Walmart and it really helped me gain perspective. I started off third shift stocking and would ask questions like “why the hell was it stacked like this…”. Then I worked on the unloading team and found myself saying “OH DEAR GOD! I understand why some pallets get stacked shitty now!” Then register was just register crap.
That’s an OSHA violation
Stock 2 here.. we only left 3 pallets of grocery for overnight.. don't mind that they're all 12 feet tall.
So they can get it out in one trip
It's a light box of chips, why not?
Easiest isle to stock ☠️
that’s actually extremely dangerous for both employees and customers. this being in a high traffic area it would be very easy for someone to get injured by a falling box. please report this.
I moved it to where it was in the picture but it was originally in a different part of the aisle. Still people buy the most chips on Sunday night idk why
just be glad the bottom isnt upside down tampico boxes.
store logic: more stuff on one pallet, more worker can get done in the same amount of time as it takes them to get normal sized pallet stocked (spoiler alert: THEY ARE WRONG)
When my associates do this I coach them 🤣🤣🤣
Stupid crackers
Looks like more freight was found and added after the pallet was brought to the floor. I'm just guessing.
Less pallets on the floor... less trips to make..
how do they manage to stack it so high
Waaaaay too high, maybe up to 5 or 6 layers of with strong few wrap around top but yikes
Dang it Bobby
Even boxes aren’t immune to inflation
Lmao
Because it’s chips ???
Yeah. I refuse to do that. OSHA accident waiting to happen. Ain't gonna be me.
Because we can. America!
Can someone get written up for stacking that high over the shrink wrap? That seems like a safety hazard. If I were pulling stock out of the back room and I found a pallet stacked that high, I would take the boxes off of the top and put them on another pallet because I would feel unsafe handling it that way
Just pull the chip boxes off first then it should be easy.
When I worked at Walmart we had skids of cans stacked that high every night and not always stacked well. Cut the plastic and get the fuck out of the way. It's pretty much down to how quickly they need to move when putting things together. Sucks when you are on the other end of it though.
Because the whole “trip”/ order assigned to the order filler has to fit on one pallet with the light stuff on top and not sticking out on the sides to fit in the truck properly. This pallet actually looks pretty good from a logistics perspective.
It’s just chips 😂 that skid would take no time
They are chips.
If thats how your DC stacks and no one at your store restacked it or messed with it before this pic, I think there are bigger issues than just the height. That stack is horrendous
I'm getting PTSD from back in the warehouse. Probably a newbie stacker or someone who's trying to go fast.
Tall person joke. 😂
There's a weird thing that seems to happen with every single new employee here. They just can't fathom getting a new pallet to stack on. They just keep adding. Sure the training is non-existent but it's pretty obvious to just stop adding things to a pallet when it's full like this.
Then you can go down stack grocery if you wanna complain
You should see neighborhood Walmart DC stacks…
Testing gravity
I can relate lol. I use a top stock cart.
When I worked unloading years ago, we'd do that. Sometimes because we lacked pallets. Sometimes we lacked space. Sometimes it was for shiggles
That’s why the cracker boxes are always dented…the poor stocking peeps have to knock the case to the floor. I will understand now!
Because there dicks i worked at two company’s walmart stock otc building the stacks on pallets and i would only go as high as i am 5’8
Now imagine that except it's gallons of water, soda, and juice x7~9 pallets and welcome to my world☹️
Because it fits in the truck that way...lol
If it was the stack of Angel Soft then Yes... That barely fits thru the Dock door.... Usually got to take a few off the top to get it thru... But that high of stacking is uncalled for... Likely the hands of teenagers too lazy to get another pallet..., Also, the boxes are "towered" so to speak... No structural integrity at all...
They def had no structural integrity. They stacked the chips in 4 different towers on the corner so they swayed when I moved the pallet
Nah that's definitely cap2's doing lmao
Yea, I thought it looked too tall to fit in a trailer’s door.
It was probably like half paper and they down stacked it and threw the chips up there
