Walmart
Alaska Store Worker Blamed For Leaving Department To Help Customers

I had previously reported a rebuttal, pretty much in favor of Walmart to another person. Personally, I enjoy working for the company. It is a hit or miss with the stores on how your work experience goes.

However, the store in my local town, we have a saying, "You can't work at Walmart if your not brown". If you go into our local Walmart, Asians everywhere. In a small island town where the majority of the population is English speaking whites, it is doubtful that a small majority of them apply at the store. There are some reason why Walmart won't hire me back, and if I were the managers, I may or may not agree, however, When I did work there, I had many, many people walk to the back of the store to my department because I spoke English. They claimed most of the asian associates said they didn't not speak English, they didn't understand, they didn't know where anything was and I got many, many reports the customers were ignored.

I actually had people ask me for my work schedule so they can shop when I'm there in the event they needed help. That was a shocker. Of course because I had to help so many customers and could not do my work, other associates, (asians) complained I didn't do my work. Instead of doing their own work, they butted into mine. I got in trouble and I told the manager that if the customers were being helped like they should be, I wouldn't be out of my department so much. I didn't get written up because I had a true case and the managers saw that I was telling the truth. And where did it get me? No where with the company!

I will still defend Walmart on many cases. But when I have to do the work of others and then get in trouble for it, that's where I draw the line!
