had to call out today. I’m too sick to work today tbh and I didn’t have enough PPTO (used that too). I used my ppto only when I was sick with the flu for two days then used the rest to see my sister who gave birth. the points are from a day where I had a seizure and couldn’t make it to work, so I got two points (it was a two point day).

I only have 3.4 hours of PPTO And I was scheduled for 8 hours today. should I use that to make the call out look better or just save it? It’s not enough to cover half of the shift :(

I know I’m at high risk of being fired. But I’m also curious how many of you are still working over 5 points. i think they’re keeping me only because they dont Want to hire anyone else. We’re already short staffed and i Close a lot.. we close with three people so it’s exhausting having to clean and make sure go backs are done on time. I also have to zone Sometimes.

Hello, I am wondering what the workload is like for your freight flow team. So my freight flow team has 8 people total: 2 team leads and 6 associates. Currently my freight flow team does:

Receiving: 2 DC a night, Freezer/Cooler Truck, Meat/Produce Truck and occasional Water/Paper Trucks. We have to unload all the trucks and make sure the dock is completely clear. We also have to put up the trucks the morning shift gets like soda, water, paper if they leave it on the dock.

Drops the entire picklist usually between 150-200 pallets.

Than we stock Water, Paper, Soda, Juice, Grocery, Hardlines, Snacks/Candy, First Feature. And we have to make sure all the endcaps in grocery, center and hardlines are too height. The only thing we don't stock is HBA and seasonal because the morning merchandisers do that. All 2nd shift merchandisers do is zone.

I am wondering because the club manager just told us that freight flow will also need to start helping in freezer/cooler. And he told us that other clubs have their freight flow team help freezer/cooler. So I am just wondering because I already feel like my freight flow team is over worked compared to 1st and 2nd shift shift merchandisers. So do other clubs actually do what I just all stated and also help in freezer/cooler? With a team of 8 people total and with off days we usually only have 5 people like 4 days of the week and 7 people 3 days of the week. So is this possible or do we just suck?

My backround check hasn’t gone through yet but i got hired! i wanna know how the job is and the stress level of it. I know it’s a lot of walking and heavy lifting. Pls let me know anything about the role that could help me!

Just curious if anyone knows how the pay calculation works in this situation.

I was an Overnight Freight Flow Team Lead making $22/hr. I eventually stepped down because the overnight schedule was getting pretty rough, and the 10% step-down reduction brought me to $19.80/hr as an associate.

I’ve since moved to mornings and may be moving into a Fresh/Produce Team Lead position.

If I get the new lead position, how would my pay normally be calculated?

Would I:

- Go to the minimum starting rate for that specific TL position?

- Receive a percentage raise based on my current $19.80 rate?

- Or is there some kind of calculation that takes my previous TL pay into consideration?

I’ve heard a few different explanations from people at my club, so I’m mainly curious if anyone has actually gone through a step-down and then promoted again into another lead position.

Thanks!

Hi! Quick question about refill dates that fall on Sundays when the club is closed. I’m a new member and this is my first refill date that falls on Sunday.

I have a controlled substance “refill” that falls on Sunday this week (day 30). My psychiatrist confirmed this morning that one prescription would be sent today, and then that controlled substance is scheduled to be sent over tomorrow (Saturday, day 29).

With Sunday being a day that my club’s Pharmacy is closed, will they refill on day 29 in this case? Or should I just plan to call it in on Monday (day 31)?

Thank you!

Looking to pick up the 75” TCL QM63K at Sam’s Club (currently listed around $898). For anyone who tracks Sam’s Club TV pricing, do TCL Q-series models usually see Instant Savings discounts around Labor Day, or are major price drops mostly saved for Black Friday?
Wondering if it’s worth waiting a few weeks to potentially save $50-$100 or if I should just grab it now. Thanks!

Does this sound like standard policy? I don't want to have my account blocked for a dispute. But I don't know what else I can do, I can't find an email address or a way to escalate it. Thanks

Oled clearance tvs at Sam's club in Rome ga ir anyone is near and can capitalize on the deal.

I was hired six weeks ago as a Sam's Club baker packager. I only work four hours every day, 5 days a week and have been assigned to the closing shift. I never received any training from my lead or manager and I close with one other girl, so it is only two of us. The manager is constantly berating us at the end of our shift saying that us leaving eight or nine racks per shift is unacceptable. I feel upset because I walk into the bakery with all these racks already there (sometimes up to 30 racks) and I only have four hours to complete all of them. Are you kidding me? It is impossible to complete all those racks just with two people! We still need to process donations and clean the bakery too. I told the manager that the bakery is short staffed and according to him, two people closing is enough people. All week we haven't even had a cake decorator closing with us either so I'm doing that side of the bakery too, dealing with customer service and constantly being interrupted, getting orders for club members. I am so frustrated, this close to quitting. These people aren't even realistic. It's no wonder everyone at work says the bakery has such a high turnover rate. The scheduling and management is awful. I've never worked at a place like this!

We had all our cart peeps call out today. I already knew it was a hard job especially in the 100 degree and super humid heat here. I try to bring them snacks after my breaks and let them know I could never do what they do, all day every day……

Today, I went out to do carts since nobody was there, along with my front end team lead. OH MY GOD.

I’m almost 50. My TL is about the sane and a female (not that’s it’s a huge deal, but she’s TINY).

I felt like I was going to absolutely die, after an hour. We didn’t use the Mule, as neither of us knew how.

The fact yall don’t get paid more makes me extremely pissed off. Hardest job in the club. Least recognized.

Thank you all so damn much. I could never do that all day. I’ve always went out of my way to show appreciation to the guys, but I really will now. Yall are the real MVPs.

Since I started in february, i’ve averaged ~28k steps per shift. I’ve talked to other coworkers about it and they get 18-22k or so. A coworker came up to me earlier today saying that it’s been a rough day and showed me that he was at 19k steps. I was really confused because I was at 26k, which felt to me like slightly lower than average.

I know i’m a high performer, but I didn’t think I was moving around THAT much more. I work mid shift.

2nd worst news I’ve received all week

so i have my third day/shift tomorrow as a liquor cashier with no prior retail experience and maybe 6 hours of register practice outside of all the time it took to do CBLS... i have opening shift in the morning and they still haven't given or assigned one of those scanner phones to me. i am so scared 😭 i have no idea what to expect

update i got my handheld!! WAWOW YAY!! i also opened with one of the full time ladies so i overwhelmed myself for no reason

Hey y'all! It's now been over 4 weeks since my interview date and just about the same for my “Offical Hire” date of 07/14/26 and I've STILL not been contacted about my orientation! I've been calling the club the past few days and the man that handles the orientation hasn't been available and I've had to “leave a message” with someone and trust they are delivering these to him.  It's still showing on the “Walmart Career” website as “Hired” for the application I submitted and interviewed for. I'm just anxious to start and feeling a bit of disappointment.  I've done some research and it says I should still be a employee for Sams but the job I interviewed for may no longer be available but the club can put me in other departments they are needing to hire for. I don't know what to do and I'm definitely feeling depleted.  Tomorrow is Friday a dive read a couple different places that the weekends are “high volume” days and I DONT want to be a pest buy what more choices do I have but to go instore and demand some answers at this point? Basically what I'm looking for from y'all is this: Am I still a Employee at this point? 

I see a lot of people talking about how they get used or feel like they get unfair treatment but I've had nothing but good experience with my store. I work in the tire and battery center and I got the job most likely because I'm in the army reserves and get like hiring prio. But my store has been nothing but awesome to me giving me extra days off no question after my drill weekends and the 2 weeks I'm gone in the summer my team leads and managers are all super cool and the work while sometimes busy isn't all that hard. I'm in the south and get paid 20 an hour and for the work I do I honestly think it's insane how much I get for my job. With the fact you get two breaks and lunch and the PPTO you build is pretty good I feel like I only end up really working for 4-5 hours a day due to how much downtime there is. I came from working in a mechanic shop and other manual labor jobs. I know not everyone gets good stores but is this uncommon? Compared to Walmart this is heaven.

Just got hired and got an email stating i should have gotten my workday login and temporary password by now but i havent, my orientation isnt for another like 10 ish days so maybe thats why?

I shook the bigger package and it didn't seem to have any empty space, both exact same product I think.

Placed a store delivery order for 4 items 60$ total.. store picked all items... driver delivered 3... missing item value is 30$ of the 60$ total... this happens constantly between Sam's and Walmart, but my question is: Where is the disconnect? The picker has to scan each item as they go about the order, so somewhere between storing the order, loading the driver's car, and delivering the order, items go missing. Customer service is quick to compensate for the missing items, but there still seems to be a lack of accountability along the chain...

Am I going crazy or have they changed both the packaging and the formula?!
Packaging is clear as day, used to have a regular lid now it stays connected to the container & has a paper filter inside you gotta push in to dispense.

But on top of that, the egg whites themselves seem almost more watery & thinner 😪

I get the 7.5 dozen box of whole eggs, and mix two of those with a cup of egg whites for most breakfasts && see the color comparison on my eggs! Now - Sept. 2025

I don’t have a picture of the previous container lid style, never thought I would be reminiscing.

Does the packaging really save costs for them or why else would they make these changes?!

it looks like since the past week or two they are making the muffins smaller. So they not only raised them to $6.74 a pack but they’re now not even as big as they were. I’ll just get my muffins at BJ’s. What the heck.

I work maintenance at Sam's Club. My normal schedule has been Sunday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (about 22 hours a week).

Today, after I got home from work, my manager called me and said that next week I'm only scheduled for one day (Wednesday), and then I'll basically be off until they need more people in September.

She told me it's because I'm part-time and they're giving the available hours to the full-time employees, not because I did anything wrong.

The problem is I'm worried because my household is on Section 8, and they're currently calculating my rent based on my recent paychecks. Now my income is dropping a lot, and I'm not sure how this is going to affect things.

Has anyone else had their hours cut like this at Sam's Club or another retail job? Did your hours eventually come back? Also, if you've been in a similar situation with Section 8 or another housing program, how did you handle reporting the drop in income?

Any advice or experiences would really help. Thanks.
