Are you the same person who regularily makes these threads?

I've seen a few from time to time that I've had no part of.

Ah, ok. Why have you been working at walmart for such a long period of time, and now with 15 years experience are you making a decent living wage?

Why the fuck for 15 years

>Why have you been working at walmart for such a long period of time
>no GED
>no vehicle
>no other employer will be able to match my current wage
>too old at 40 years old to start from the absolute bottom unless I willingly want to experience age bias/discrimination

>and now with 15 years experience are you making a decent living wage?
At $14/hr, it's barely enough to pay my Bills, but I can eat and buy alcohol and pills for whatever I have left.

This is, unfortunately, the best paying job I will ever have.

Do you ever throw out food that hasn't expired?

Tons. Its absurd, but it has to be done...

I understand that as you get older your options start to thin out more and more, not just in work but in all aspects of life. Do you see yourself changing directions from working a dead end job and living for pills and booze in your off time? Are you content with the way things are, or do you see that maybe there could be am alternative if you made changes to your lifestyle?

Try moving out and finding a place with a roommate who is cool and minds their business that isnt that expensive. Youd be able to save more money that way but just make sure you dont get a douchebag roomy.
Fair enough I understand that, im 25 this year and have been an HVAC apprentice without a GED or anything like that for 2 years. Only make $12 an hour and i gotta buy food, pay rent, etc. I pretty much work for fucking free and have almost no financial gain for me to do anything in my spare time. Lifes a bitch, find a way to fuck her in the ass.

How's it feel to have wasted your life?

Been at walmart under 3 years and make 14.50 ur doing it wrong

And this is the only job ive had in my life besides doing sidework helping a couple friends out for some bucks.

you ever consider going back to get your grade 12 and then going to trade school?

lulz you must be under 20 or something. 99% of the entire world's population wastes their life according to your standards.

I would suggest going into a trade. 3 years, I went from 10 to 18/hr. Run an install truck, and I started from absolutely no construction background. Mechanical hobbies did help this, but it’s not rocket science. Hvac is a great trade to get into. Get out of Walmart. Make some real doe.

>Do you see yourself changing directions from working a dead end job and living for pills and booze in your off time?
All dreams died in the spring of 1998. If something were to happen, it would have already.
>Are you content with the way things are, or do you see that maybe there could be am alternative if you made changes to your lifestyle?
I just wanted a place for myself that has heat. Being homeless for the majority of my "best years" made me appreciate the passive things in life. I dont see myself making it to 45 due to my now mild chest pains. Just hope the next life is a bit more fruitful.

>Try moving out and finding a place with a roommate who is cool and minds their business that isnt that expensive. Youd be able to save more money that way but just make sure you dont get a douchebag roomy.
Easier said than done. Been down that road. Hope you get respectable wages outside of your apprenticeship.

Unsure, but it's a waste nonetheless.

It happens. People just came in at the right time.

Failed the exam twice. I wont live long enough to learn trigonometry.
>trade school
I have no desire to constantly be on job sites while living out of a van.

Unsure how many years I have left.

Bull fucking shit. This thread is made almost every day with the title "15 years at Walmart! Ask me anything!!". It's Walmart, not anything interesting but drama from retarded customers and theives. No one cares

yes this!

From a shithole? No problem!

Ok. Nothing I can really answer other than I'm glad to hear it.

Ok, goy.

What's the square root of 0 divided by 0 times 6?

Why are you so certain your "mild chest pains" will lead to death within the next 5 years?

Also, do you have a girlfriend, and/or do women find you attractive?

you seem like a polite and hard working person OP

good luck with all endeavors

HVAC user here.
>all dreams died in Spring 1998
What happened if you dont mind telling?
Also I hope you end up getting a bump raise in pay somewhere in the future man.

Nah, i don't want to be a dead weight. I will try to be a nice programmer, if it doesn't work, i will keep living in this shithole.

Zero? It's just a guess. Try not to give me shit over this.

>Why are you so certain your "mild chest pains" will lead to death within the next 5 years?
Not sure. Just hope it just does the job sooner rather than later.
>Also, do you have a girlfriend, and/or do women find you attractive?
I have no money and probably going to be dead in the next decade. They're things that aren't doing anything positive for me in terms of my sexual market value.

Thanks for the kind words. Good luck to you as well.

It's been over 20 years and they still haven't gotten back on thier feet. I'll leave out stupid shit like identity theft which leaves me out of options to get any sort of public assistance.

Fuck. Thats a really shitty situation man. Sorry to hear that happened to you and hopefully some luck heads your way and you win the lotto or somethin or atleast moved up to a better position. Genuinely seem like a nice guy, I wish the best for you, user. Godspeed

Do you play video games? Read? What are your hobbies and interests outside of work? Besides unwinding with booze/pills etc.

Trigonometry?!?! Are you talking about for your GED? You’re full of shit dude
t: has GED
>trade school
>I have no desire to constantly be on job sites while living out of a van.
Uh you clearly just like to complain and feel sorry for yourself. You’re full of shit.
t: been through trade school twice and worked in two different fields.

You’re and addict/alcoholic aren’t you?
t: alcoholic

It sounds like you’ve never been responsible for anything you’ve ever done.

user I know you aren't looking for advice and could probably care less, as nobody here really knows what its like to live your life. But ditch the booze. Its one of the first things a person can drop when their life feels like an out of control downward spiral. Even if you don't have a ridiculously excessive drinking habit compared to other people, it is still an expensice habit that drains your energy and damages your body.

As somebody who personally pulled myself out of depression, dropping booze and fixing my diet were the starting point that lead to a much broader change. Not trying to compare my situation to yours, I'm just a strong believer that taking control of your body is the first step forward for somebody in a seemingly hopeless situation.

So, OP, what kind of gun do you put in your mouth at night when you get home from work?

there is a guy at my walmart that walks around with a handheld and marks down food items that are close dated? is this the best job in walmart? knowing whats going on sale?

tfw OP is clinically depressed, realizes Yea Forums is not a good substitute for a therapist

>Trigonometry?!?! Are you talking about for your GED? You’re full of shit dude
The exam is rework happened sometime this decade which hadn't updated some the late 80s.

My critique of the trades comes from my experience working on electricians crew running cable and spending 18 hours in the Texas heat, cushioned between my meth head uncle's and the spics that were hired.

Ultimately, we are of our own making.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I could have used it 10-15 years ago?

Not sure

That's just one job out of many that this person has to get done before 11 a.m.

How you know I'm depressed?

if that guy was marking down something that looked good or say someone in the clothing dept was putting clearance on something, could they set it aside and but it?

buy it, sorry

I'm not sure. Perhaps they could find some way to go on break right after the markdown

Any good creeps from work?

Or they can text/call a friend and have them go buy the stuff for them and then pay them back

What age were you when you started? How come you're still working there?

I work at this place called Coles in Australia, it's a large grocery supermarket chain, biggest in Australia.

Been there about 13 years myself.

What disabilities do you have that prevent you from getting into a real industry with actual chances for promotion and raises?

I work there too but everyone seems to have one foot out the door and managers look miserable as hell.

....But, why? Why would you work there for 15 years.

The back room piles up. I would throw some things out to make room for the new shit.

Work manual labor. I did basic construction STARTING at 15 an hour.

Holy crap. Well, we have higher taxes here, but I have no proper education, I'm younger and earn almost the double of you. Also, no need to pay for healthcare since that's covered by taxes.

This, but now that you've been at Wal-Mart for so long this probably isn't an option since you're more than likely way out of shape.

I've worked for them at two different locations. Shit-tier pay, but easy as fuck work. Did overnight stocking at the first store and then sporting goods at the second store. Not a bad starter job, but not a job you want to keep for all that long.

What is your job there? And are there any jobs there where you don't have to deal with many people? I was thinking about being a cart pusher/janitor there

My store has hot thickies in yoga pants all over the place. High latina, black and Iranian populations up here. Tempted to get my camera out at times.

Nahman. I'm sure theres a reddit page for that or something.

This.

>What age were you when you started?
25
>How come you're still working there?
See >What disabilities do you have that prevent you from getting into a real industry with actual chances for promotion and raises?
Demoralization, too many hands for what few positions have been cut.

What else is there to do? See Amayzun.

Just a stocker for where they need me. Overnights are probably your best bet for not having to converse with the general public.

Hot damn. Do it for the OC!

Do they drug test for low level positions

Yep. Only reason I got this job is because I was too broke for anything that would make me fail.

I work at Walmart in production, why are the managers so fucking shitty and stupid?

No. Walmart will take whatever junkie they can get to work for them. You are expendable though. Don't forget it. Just show up on time and look busy. If you get some jobs you can slack off in the back room and just bullshit with coworkers on the clock

An artificially heightened sense of worth.

I'm paranoid about doing creepshots. I may do some for personal use until I feel confident that I won't be ID'ed. Only so many work in my department and it's easy to ID a store.

They realize they hit the top of their career path and still have to do shit like CVP and stocking like the grunts getting near minimum wage.

Ah yes, I'd be pissed too if I had to do actual work and unable to shoot the shit with other management.

>do you jerk off on your breaks?

> Wal-Mart shopping basket
Where do you guys hide those? At the 2 Wal-Mart near me there are 3 basket between the two stores.

Working that long there at Wal-Mart will be retire as a millionaire like they said you could?

Non-salaried workers shoot the shit when they are not looking so it's all cool

Never done the five knuckle shuffle at work. If you cant wait until you get home, that's your problem

>Where do you guys hide those? At the 2 Wal-Mart near me there are 3 basket between the two stores.
CSM slacking.
>Working that long there at Wal-Mart will be retire as a millionaire like they said you could?
If I didnt have to pay my bills? Sure.

not OP but please explain the t. shit, i dont get it. retard user here

Because it's Compact and it works

that can depend on the state you're in

Why it “has to be done” though?

Food safety

Where are the dumpsters with all this food? I want some free food

what is the least busy day and time to go shopping at a 24 hr Walmart? i hate people

1337 post

I only know what it means through context clues. I always assumed it meant “source”

>OP is an alcoholic completely incapable of taking any responsibility
>source: was an a irresponsible alcoholic
>t. was an a irresponsible alcoholic

> I hate people

Well then there is no easy answer to your question. Throughout the night on a weekday will be the least busy time.

The downside is that although there are fewer people, the types of people that shop at those hours are COMPLETELY different from the day shoppers. You will have the occasional random groups of high school and college age kids. The occasional second and third shift workers. The rest is filled with the dregs of society.

It is fascinating though to watch entire family, all in pajamas except a baby daddy that may or may not be present, and no adult female under 400 pounds, buy nothing but garbage and junk food then pay with welfare, all at two in the morning.

Are they just getting up? Are they getting ready to call it a day and go to bed? Who the fuck knows.

Preferably Outback in a compost bin

If you hate people, get used to them because they're a billion of them on the planet and they're hard to avoid. If you really need to know, I would say anytime before 9 am and not anytime during food stamp day.

Wew lad

i am used to them i just avoid them whenever possible. people suck, they are oblivious and ignorant. i'm no better but i like to keep it to myself.

3AM on a monday it is. thanks for the advice.
