Buy Not.
I am an associate and know the pressure by Walmart to make me feel like I will have nothing if I standup publicly against them; after all they will not change enough to even meet their own three core ethical values.
What would happen if all associates stopped buying from Walmart and their families stopped buying and their friends stopped buying?

I’m thankful…But
I’m grateful that I do not live on the street. But the fact of the matter is, me as a cashier I see people with food stamps, giving false price matches, buying STEAK for 3 bucks. And I get in trouble because I do not think its right! I get lectured that its not “my place” to say anything to our wonderful customers. And to think Walmart makes so much money and yet they force me to work beyond my shift, me thinking “Oh least I will get some over time” Then they screw me over by cutting my hours. It is not right. I am so tired. Physically. Mentally.

I'm on truck crew, and they recently made sweeping changes to the backroom layout. I'm OCD and I am now getting yelled at if I sort things too precisely because it's "slowing me down." They won't hire more people, they still make us wait until the truck's done to go to first break so I have to carry food to keep my blood sugar up, and they frown upon me not wanting to stack kitty litter on flimsy boxes or if I try to sort grocery by aisle and section. Basically, "Go faster, screw Overnights."
Anonymous askedI spoke to one Walmart worker who told me that she was instructed to push the people she was managing to go faster and faster. If they couldn’t keep up, she was basically forced to break them or single them out. It sounds like that isn’t too far from what is happening to you now. I would suggest connecting with OUR Walmart through their Facebook Page or website. A lot of the Associates experience something similar. Maybe one of them will be able to share how they’ve corrected the problem.

My store is out of store-use packing tape and every request the ordering manager makes for more is being denied. This is a problem because a lot of people can't stack, and those of us who can, we still use the tape to keep pallets and carts from collapsing if we're hauling out and we have to panic-stop because somebody runs out in front of us. (It has happened even just turning corners, and last time I heard about an employee asking for comp because it messed up her back, she got fired.)
Anonymous askedSafety issues, especially with the pallets, are something that we hear about a lot. Money for supplies (like packing tape) comes out of the store budget and managers’ bonuses, so sometimes they’ll hold off as long as possible on ordering things like that. We have seen a lot of issues like this won by Associates who organize actions, delegations to confront the store manager or even just start and deliver a petition about the issue. If you need more information on how to get started, let us know or contact OUR Walmart through their website or Facebook page.
We know that changing Walmart is possible. We also know that the more good ideas we get, the faster that will happen. This is a forum for sharing your art, ideas, action, etc. to support striking Walmart workers on Black Friday. Get in the conversation!
