This one time, some horridly fat, southern-accented, middle aged soccer mom hag told me I couldn't buy Half-Life 2 because it was M-Rated and my siblings looked too young to be playing it. Despite the fact that my mother was right there, she tried to police me and my siblings and told us we couldn't buy it. My Mom goes "Well, I think that's stupid" and she's like "I don't think that's stupid" and Mom's like "Who cares what you think, you're in your forties and you're a cashier at Wal-Mart". It was GLORIOUS. |

Two references? For WAL-MART?!?
Geez... I can see two references being teachers/charity workers/etc., but if they actually wanted two job references... that's sad and would kill the hope of so many high school dropouts. |

$10 says that if you had put two people down, they wouldn't have checked your references. | |||

Originally posted by NebetsuWell, I find it easier to read a bit of text if it's divided into portions. It wasn't as bad with your post but it's really annoying when people make long posts or post some article where the whole thing is just a blob of text. Besides I think spacing off is infact more important than grammar and spelling for readability... Anyway, uhm... why join the worst company I ever heard of? I been thinking of working some extra at the grocery stores where I study and they don't threat their workers bad. Then unions are mandatory, and we have harsh minium wage laws. |

I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you. I worked there for a week, and promptly quit. It's one of the worst places in the world TO work. Slave labor. They put someone like me who is like...not strong at all in the STOCK room, and then I complained about that and then they just kind of left me on the sales floor with no supervisor or guidance or anything and gave me weird hours, so I said fuck that. | |||

They can spare to lose employees, honestly. I know someone who works for them, but he actually moved up in the company and started to work in their warehouse and would drive the trucks every now and then. So I guess it all comes down to which one your working at.
The Wal-Mart by my dad's (West Coast of Fla) mostly has Mexicans and old people as its customers. The Wal-Marts down here (South Fla) mostly have black and old people as its customers. I mean, I don't want to seem mean here, but its true. I've been to the stores and thats the majority. I find it a bit funny and odd. Also, why is it that Wal-mart is busy at 3am than at 5pm? Go figure, its Wal-Mart. They edit their music CDs to make them free of the naughty words and sex realated themes. |

You know, I can't imagine why most women work there. Their crappy insurance doesn't even cover maternity. Seriously, it's like they steal money out of your pocket and call that insurance, a lot like CVS actually. My CVS insurance didn't even pay for me to go to the doctor once, which I think was ridiculous.
At any rate, when they give you the booklet on insurance, it's basically a list of all these things that they WON'T cover. |

References != parents or relatives. Those don't count 99.99% of the time. :\
Funny how an entry-level place would want those... we're all doomed if McD's starts asking for references. |

Colin, my buddy applied to Walmart. He theorizes that they scan the references and do a brief background check. He thinks it is their form of pre-emptive union busting. | |||

Eh, my references were a teacher, a friend of mine, and a guy I designed a web page for. | |||

That might be true... but I'm still sure that putting both your parents down as references would be a no-go.
And why would you be looking to see if 16 and 17-year olds have union ties? |

Originally posted by Colin Anyone can have ties to a union. At least that is the Walmart mentality. |
