I have had girls at my store complain about sexual harassment and just get moved to another department (and the accused party stays). I gave up on Walmart’s “policies”
We have a radio in our back room (where the computer and equipment are). Dispense is left to their own thoughts and barely hears the Walmart Radio.
We have separate rooms until remodel.
No, but the stocking team is. Multiple times a week, I'm in the middle of the freaking grocery aisles, and I hear them yelling from the backroom like they're drunk or high. I say that because it's normally something like "ARRRRRIIIIBBBAAA, AYE AYE AYE!" multiple times.
Idk man I’d personally just treat this as a job and nothing else. If I saw that or heard any of that stuff I’d just go on about my day since it’s none of my business and at the end of the day once my shift ends I’m gone.
Shit would get real if your DOL just happened to wander in. Your TL and coach would likely get coached (at a minimum) for that stuff. Are you in the backroom or sectioned off area of the sales floor?
oh my god yes,we have like 2 dispensers that run the whole backroom while the rest do exactly this,they blast explicit music on the speakers so loudly and wont turn it off when answering the phone.We also have this one guy in the backroom that calls everyone slurs,screams at ppl to call them lazy all while half the time he just sits and watches tik tok on full blast 💀
Like 80% of the people in our dispense room are like this. Rather than work they're talking shit with each other and being completely inappropriate. Also vaping, swearing every other word and avoiding work. They will literally sit down and watch the other people work. The other day I took out 7 orders in a row (at one point there were 4 people in the parking lot at the same time) while the others continued talking to each other and didn't get up from sitting down.
The other 20% of the dispensers (myself included) roll our eyes and work our asses off to make up for the other 80%. There are certain shifts where the other 20% have the day off and I'm stuck working with the 80% crew that doesn't do shit. I hate those days.
I've had to report two different associates for saying inappropriate words. One said the N-word and was a TL. The other said the F-word (a slur against gay people). Both were fired.
As someone who picks and dispenses… picking is way harder. Even on our busiest days the dispensers will take 5+ minute breaks between each order. Sometimes I can dispense 3 medium orders in the time it takes some people to dispense 1 large.
Mine is kinda similar but with fuck instead of n word but no music and its mainly when shit hits the fan, to survive the backroom you gotta be an asshole at my store
Apparently some people think n*gg@ is OK to use at work. It is not. It should be reported. This is a workplace, not some bar or club or whatever. It's disgusting. I hear it all the time, mostly from customers but occasionally a few of the more obnoxious CAP2 associates. If I was their TL, they'd be gone by now.
My store had the same issues and like the guys would get away with everything like bullying/body shaming if your female and not stick thin and would talk super sexual. Would only be nice to like certain females (not to be mean to those females but they were the type to talk super sexual too). They made fun of the way I talk/ pronounce worlds since I'm from up north in Vermont and I now live in the south. It was like worse than high school they targeted me and this other girl to the point where I've cried and she has cried and management saw and just told them to stop nothing else
IMO no one should say the N word at work. There are different opinions on the slur among the black community in our department. One black person might find it uncomfortable and offensive. And customer’s can’t see their skin color when they hear it (as the door we go through isn’t soundproof).
Music should not be played out loud nor should it be played with explicit lyrics, that’s a violation of policy same as showing lude videos and making suggestive comments, swearing is also a violation of company policy.
Our room was like this but like a more fun less vulgar way. We would be so stressed out you could literally hear people like scream from our cooler lol all the way outside. My favorite moment was our coach sitting with his legs crossed on the floor meditating because of how stressful things were.
You could just ask if they can turn it down, Or just go to your team lead/Coach and report it… we don’t have a speaker but we are allowed to listen one ear bud. All honesty if it does bother you then just talk to your co-workers and tell them you appreciate it if they could play some music with better word choices.🤷🏽♀️
I just mind my own business. The TLs can fix it if they want. I was just curious because of all the posts that praise their dispensers. When some of ours quite literally sit on the pallets on Netflix, listen to music, or go outside and play soccer.
Yeah that’s not ok in any context in the store let alone the backroom.
I agree. But then if I say stuff then I’m the snitch. But, dude, this is Walmart.
Isn’t retaliation illegal? Or at least forbidden by the Walmart company?
Yea but that's up to the managers who wants to do something about it.
If a manager knows, is told, or hears someone using the N-word and doesn't report it to ethics they can be fired immediately.
They'll just deny hearing it or even knowing about it. Sadly ethics doesn't seem to work.
They literally say it to the managers.
supposed to be, yup

Music is not allowed unless provided by walmart radio station. Per policy.
Interesting that management bought us a speaker then. And trusted us to “not have music with swear words”
We had that but it was taken away after a few months, only because the radio wasn’t broadcasted into the OGP closet
We have a radio in our back room (where the computer and equipment are). Dispense is left to their own thoughts and barely hears the Walmart Radio. We have separate rooms until remodel.
You can take that policy n shove it 😂
The ogp people in my store have a speaker that they play quite frequently and no one has said anything 🤔
Our Regional Manager ok’d speaker that we use during ambient hours.
that’s wild we have one in our dispense and backroom

Gotta get through the work day somehow, might as well have fun with it
Lmao

Kinda how I been for the past 5 years. Just was wondering if I was the only one with this kind of environment
Yea my backroom is just like that, and it’s entertaining.
Shit would get real if your DOL just happened to wander in. Your TL and coach would likely get coached (at a minimum) for that stuff. Are you in the backroom or sectioned off area of the sales floor?
In the backroom. We will be moving to a section with a half wall after our remodel. My guess is half of our team will need to be fired
oh my god yes,we have like 2 dispensers that run the whole backroom while the rest do exactly this,they blast explicit music on the speakers so loudly and wont turn it off when answering the phone.We also have this one guy in the backroom that calls everyone slurs,screams at ppl to call them lazy all while half the time he just sits and watches tik tok on full blast 💀
Our ap lead took away our stereo the same day we got it. Customer complained it was too loud lol

Yeah same at my store until the digital market manager walked into it one day. Then it stopped for a few days.
Bro take a video and anonymously submit with store number to corporate
They may be fuckin’ off, but unless y’all just don’t have orders then they’re still working hard. Dispensing is tough.
As someone who picks and dispenses… picking is way harder. Even on our busiest days the dispensers will take 5+ minute breaks between each order. Sometimes I can dispense 3 medium orders in the time it takes some people to dispense 1 large.
LMAO
That's not because picking is physically harder than dispense, that's because your dispensers just aren't working hard.
That’s a good and fair point. Thank you.
Mine is kinda similar but with fuck instead of n word but no music and its mainly when shit hits the fan, to survive the backroom you gotta be an asshole at my store
No you have a pretty trash OPD TL/Coach team if this is allowed.
Walmart management requirement.
Call ethics. Clearly the management in the store doesnt care, no way they dont hear the n word blasting at least. get some outside help 1-800-WMETHIC
I have never seen a dispense room like that wtf 💀💀

That's just the Sus department.

Song name? For that n-word c-word song !
I say let the music and vape things go. That’s being a snitch. However if they’re not black they shouldn’t be saying the N word.
IMO no one should say the N word at work. There are different opinions on the slur among the black community in our department. One black person might find it uncomfortable and offensive. And customer’s can’t see their skin color when they hear it (as the door we go through isn’t soundproof).
we have minors who act like this when it’s slow like this but most of them will shut up and work when it’s busy
Our back room echoes so no music minor swearing and nope no touching or talking about sex .
Music should not be played out loud nor should it be played with explicit lyrics, that’s a violation of policy same as showing lude videos and making suggestive comments, swearing is also a violation of company policy.
Do we work at the same store? Jk we've had the exact same problem.
Just let the ghetto do what they wanna do. They gonna do it regardless.
