In reply to the discussion: At WalMart, food safety is their #1 priority. Ha ha ha ha ha! GOT you, sucker. Enjoy your beef. [View all]Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)36. I worked BRIEFLY at a local convenience store...
Your third paragraph:
During in-store training I was reminded by other "associates" that the cameras were always watching us. To always be busy. On break people would buy a soda or food and they'd tape the receipt to it to ensure they could prove they didn't steal it. Such was the environment at WalMart. "You're a fucking guilty slacker unless you can prove otherwise."
Been there, seen that, done that...to the letter. It's not just WalMart. And the BEST part was that when I taped the receipt to my drink the woman training me ALWAYS yelled "YOU DON'T NEED TO USE THAT MUCH TAPE!!!" (The guy who owns the 4 markets in this little toilet of a desert town pulls down $3.2 MILLION a year, according to Dun & Bradstreet).

Those pesky employees! Never around when you need one - and then you have to PAY them!
