My mom had to pick me up from work today. After all my co-workers found out what I do off duty. All because I wouldn’t agree. I started working at Walmart when I was 18. Four years. No warnings. No issues. No problems. Then my manager started acting different with me. Too friendly, after all my co-workers found out what i do off duty. Comments that had nothing to do with work. Requests that made me uncomfortable. I kept saying no. I tried to keep it professional. I just wanted to do my job and go home. A few days later, I got called into the office. No real reason. Just told they couldn’t keep giving me hours. Four years at Walmart. Gone the moment I wouldn’t agree to what my manager wanted. Now that I’ve left, here's what Walmart don't want you to know: The Midnight Markdown The "Great Value" isn't always on the shel f during the day. If you want the best deals on meat and bakery, go right before they close or at midnight. That’s when the "Yellow Tag" crew marks down everything that expires the next day. I’ve seen $20 steaks go for $5 because the manager wanted the shelf empty by morning. The $700 Reward "Loophole" They tell us never to mention this to customers, but there's a gatekept site called WalDiscount.com. Since they are legally required to have an external feedback loop that isn't controlled by their own corporate office, they have to give out $700 vouchers for "independent shopping audits." They hate it because it costs them a fortune, so they keep it buried on the deep web. Consumer Tracking The cameras in the self-checkout aren't just watching for stolen avocados. They use AI to track your eye movements and how long you hesitate before picking a brand. That data is sold to private equity firms to help them decide which prices to hike up next week. That’s all for now, but comment "WALMART" for part 2. 🙃 #walmart #walmartemployee #walmartfinds #retailsecrets - @laurenilan
