Looks like they’ll have to raise prices...
This must be why they have 1 cashier for every 50 registers.
I find that I can beat many of their present prices elsewhere; for instance, a gallon of 1% milk: $2.95 versus $2.49 at Food For Less.
I ran a front end at Walmart and the cashier turnover is unreal. You almost have to have 20 in the pipeline at all times for replacements, and they won’t do it.
Most of the people hired are young girls going to school, that have kids or are getting pregnant. Single all of them.
From day one they get into attendance trouble and within a month to six weeks they are gone. it cost on the average $5000 to hire an train.
Then there is never enough help in the departments to help people and they wonder about sales.
HAHAHA!!!
Yes, and have 3-6 over-paid morons with headsets on, standing around talking while people complain loudly about the not-so-speedy checkout or just walk out of the store.
I was running the tire department at a supercenter and was told I absolutely HAD to remain open for 13 hrs per day (7am to 8pm) 7 days a week. I HAD to have at least 2 techs in the shop at all times. Absolutely no overtime was to be given nor were half shifts to be used. (I was actually given a written warning for punching out one minute late)
I had four guys to meet these requirements and was constantly getting called in to the manager to be lectured on the long wait times.
