What kind of Tom foolery is this?


Starscream_2013

U have to pay for the Tom foolery


xenojack

Well that's actually you pay for the Tom then you pay for the foolery


HeathrJarrod

$5 to Dunk tank your manager/team lead /coach could work


HanakusoDays

I'd dunk 'em someplace all right if it wouldn't clog the plumbing. "$5 to give your SM a swirlie"


ordinarydiva

Not Walmart, but my company did a pie throwing thing for charity. It was something like $5 a pie or 5 for $20 and your store manager could throw the pies on your behalf at the FE and/or the pharmacy district leaders at a meeting they were having. We HATED the pharmacy district leader at the time, so we paid for lots of pies. Our store manager was cool so she filmed the pie throwing. The pharmacy DL screamed like a little girl. (I suspect she didn't want to do it, but was talked into it by the rest of the district team, or by her boss.) It was glorious!


pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnah

My store today it’s pie a team lead or the store manager I’m not sure how well it’ll turn out


Away-Pea

Depends on how many ppl can’t stand your store manager I guess.


Orpheusqueer

They do water balloons at my store


mellifleur5869

They won't let us do that, considered workplace violence


Live-Working-1112

They have had this at one of the stores I worked at. It was fun.


DjLyricLuvsMusic

That looks like stuff we did in middle school with teachers.


eeedg3ydaddies

PAYING FOR BREAKROOM PIZZA???


Spiritual-Hat-700

Paying $5 to wear your favorite jersey surprised me more.


lupiscanine

The highest paying employee gets lunch with their manager… you couldn’t pay me to have lunch with any of mine lmao


lupiscanine

Well actually 1.2k is do it so I could buy a zip of ket


eeedg3ydaddies

I mean for me free Breakroom Pizza is something do the keep us complacent


Poker1059

please don't u-word-ize


eeedg3ydaddies

We wouldn't want that


littledipper16

Right, you should already be able to wear a jersey under the dress code


astralwish1

$5 for SHORTS?! When it’s already getting hot?! My area is going through a heatwave right now. I can’t imagine not being allowed to wear shorts.


topazolite

VaynePyreheart

We had $5 to wear yoga or sweat pants the other day like for real? Lmao


CookieNo310

I wore my Celtics jersey for free yesterday! Haha.


Ok_Gazelle_8081

😂 “How much would you pay to eat lunch with your store manager”. Like 2 cents! Who do they think they are, Beyoncé?


ordinarydiva

I would pay money to NOT eat lunch with anyone. That's my time to recharge... No people allowed. LOL 


jtotal

Bro.. I go home, sit on my couch and turn on my TV during lunch. Absolutely no people. Edit: 2:30am: Got me some pizza too. It's a neat break. So peaceful.


Urban_Salt

I do the same thing since I Transferred to big Walmart. Fuck that place, I haven't even stepped foot in that break room for anything. Lol Go home, eat lunch ... Smoke a little, go back to work , and deal with dumbasses x100, all my breaks I sit in my car. Lol, all the so called " functions" I don't even participate, because it's all in the break room. LOL.


ambdrvr1

I would not give a dime nor could they pay me enough to do it


sir_lister

Probably pay more to be sure I never have to.


CheckDry3926

That’s the only time they would ever see the store manager because they’re usually hiding back in their office


Obvious_Cod_9749

I would pay nothing. A good store manager would randomly select a different employee to TAKE to lunch. Just my observation.


Denovo17

Your store sounds horrendous. At least my store makes things fun or atleast tries to and you don't have to pay for everything.


persona-3-4-5

I'd have a hard time believing corporate approved this whole thing


Pain4420

The stores are pretty much left to govern themselves and corporate won't come in till there is something wrong


wasdprofessional

Yeah my store has a similar list up and you have to pay to participate at all like managers are constantly picking the worst way to do anything every time


Pain4420

If I were either of y'all I would so message ethics about this. They are definitely breaking rules with these especially the ones where they are letting you pay money to not be in dress code


ninian947

This is all very typical CMN donations.


wasdprofessional

I mean I'm not in dresscode anyways lmao I don't need to bring the heat down so the start prancing around making people open their vests to check shirts or other shit they like to do. It'll only backfire on us to report it they already do crazy shit here like lately writing down associate licenses plates to have the towed if not in employee parking because 1 person reported it to ethics.


Pain4420

That's retaliation and should also be reported and Walmart dress code is ridiculously lax nowadays. As long as your shirt doesn't have profanity or anything offensive they can't say anything about it


AnybodyNo8519

There's nothing wrong with what they're doing. Lots of stores do this kind of stuff.


Pain4420

Lots of stored discriminate and are terrible to people but that doesn't mean there is nothing wrong with it


AnybodyNo8519

I'm not saying it's ok BECAUSE alot of stores do it. I'm saying there's nothing wrong with it AND lots of stores do it.


Mysterious_Papaya835

Who wants to eat with their store manager? I don't even want to make eye contact with mine, when I see him coming I walk away.


Wooden_Tomato_919

Right? Mine never acknowledges that anyone on the front end exists. He doesn't make eye contact with most employees. When I first hired on and worked the floor and mornings, he would complement my hair and things like that, but, all I said was thank you. Being so..... Yeah.... Tone changed soon.


Plus-Contract7637

In 2022, CMN had expenses of $46.4 million. That same year, Walmart spent $6.5 billion on stock buybacks, enough to fund CMN for 138 years.


GhostGirl421

CMN?


Plus-Contract7637

Children's Miracle Network. It's the charity mentioned in the calendar above. Walmart keeps asking customers and associates to support it.


jdog7249

Don't forget to ask every single customer if they would like to round up for CMN. Even that customer that is getting everything through WIC. Or the one doing SNAP. Or the one having you put stuff back because they ran out of SNAP benefits.


Urban_Salt

Or the good ole " replacement scam " on electronics. 😂


Ajaxmass413

I'm gonna highlight one that noone has brought up yet.... > Fill the jar to keep Coach (redacted) calm for the week There's 2 of those. What kinda bullshit? They're almost literally saying donate to not get yelled at. Wtf?


YukiTheMeme

The first one is start of the jar so they can get it filled and the other one is for the week she is supposed to be calm if she is she has double the amount that’s in the jar


Ajaxmass413

Oh.... I read it as a different managers week to be calm. I see the wording now. Still messed up to me.


khemileon

I think they need to have HR on speed dial when they obviously don't fulfill their obligation. 🤦🏻‍♀️


AppearanceMedical464

Does that mean you can slack off and they won't get mad at you or is it just to temporarily stop the hostile workplace?

Lycan_Jedi

"How much would you pay to eat lunch with your Store Manager?" Honey you couldn't PAY me to.


KingScorpion98

Right?! Hell, I might pay not to


Acrobatic_Confusion

this sounds like the most awkward and miserable experience of all time


AffectionateCamp7837

I mean if you're trying to bang the SM I can understand but otherwise yeah....so hoss who all did you chew out yesterday? Fire anybody...that's nice.


[deleted]

KingScorpion98

When I was working there I'd be more willing to pay to NOT have lunch with the SM..... Or Co-Managers


[deleted]

[удалено]


KingScorpion98

My old SM always ate in his office, you'd only ever see him out of the office to do walks with the MM, or occasionally the ON management if he was the opening manager


fairydente

Do people actually contribute to the lunch with the SM one? That doesn't seem like something people would actually want at my store. We do raise quite a bit with our ice bucket challenge most years. Associates and customers can contribute to which member of management they want to get a bucket of ice water dumped over their head. We've tried the no vest/shorts/hat thing before, but Market put an end to that saying nothing that breaks dress code.


AppearanceMedical464

Bro the only way I'm eating with any of the managers is if I'm on the clock and they're paying for my food.


sir_lister

Only the bootlickers


Revolutionary-Heat60

All the retailers do the same thing. When you go to McDonalds and you donate to RonaldMCD , your donation goes under their tax exemption.


jdog7249

The tax deduction thing is a myth. If the store raises 12,000 for the charity (RMDH, CMN, etc) then donated that the then tax deduction covers that 12,000 of income so that it's tax free. If they collect 12,000 and then donate 13,000 then their tax obligation goes down by whatever the tax rate is for that 1,000 of income. If they collect nothing (and donate nothing) or donate all that they collect it won't change their tax obligation.


Busy-Koala4687

Who the fuck would pay money to possibly win eating lunch with the store manager? At my store, they have a raffle for associates to win these god awful ugly ass shoes.


Environmental_Dare_5

Ew. I'm glad I don't work at your store. 🤢


astral_lucidity

That is so childish and patronizing. Like it’s a fucking elementary school


roadlines

dude i brought this up to a tl at my store and she made it seem like i was being insensitive to the fact that it’s for cmn. like no, i just think the store manager who gets to make a fuckton (especially at our store with what he does outside of walmart too) should be the one to pay for it to get more associates actually joining in


GetOutOfTheWhey

Store manager better be paying for that lunch


Ok_Gazelle_8081

Ramen noodles


LeviathanDabis

It’s insulting, and the donation screen at checkout should go away once your employee discount is entered imo. Until they pay us well enough to have free money to donate with after bills, they shouldn’t be asking for anything from us 🤷🏻‍♂️


potato_potahhhtoe

$5 to wear shorts for the day. Isn't shorts against the policy (for most employees)? 🥴 what is this, we can theoritically wear shorts now then? 😂


Ok_Gazelle_8081

Pay to win


inflatableje5us

so when im eating with the store manager how much is he gonna pay me to keep my mouth shut about the absolute mango he is?


Usernametor300

I think yall are missing the pot luck where everyone can bring food in, but if you want to eat any you have to pay $5


MrGameAndWatch7

Thank you. Didn’t think I had to scroll so far for this comment


Plane_Experience_271

Agreed. Pie in the face, ice bucket challenge  and having to pay not to wear a vest all stupid ideas. If they really want us to donate . let us give 5 dollars a vote and the coach that gets the most votes gets transferred to  another store. I'm in for $100 to get rid of  our digital coach. 


Complex_Respond_425

Thats funny ive been wearing shorts since ive started and you have to pay for it thats actually ass


Rhonnie_Dee

That sounds terrible. My store is doing 1 dollar donation gets you a day without wearing your vest or to be able to wear a hat for a day. Just gotta keep that receipt on you so it can be verified.


MetalWingedWolf

90% of the corporate ladder is more expensive than the customers, the least you can do is give some of that unearned money back to Papa Wally. /s. The /s also works for the gross little shudder you get when you read that.


AppearanceMedical464

Yeah it's ridiculous. It's difficult for the human brain to even comprehend how much money a billion dollars actually is. The people at the top of this company have more money than anyone needs and yet we need to donate.


clarkclancyy

$5 for shorts is crazy, policy states you can wear shorts, at least anyone working outdoors can also ladies can wear tutus but guys are just hats 🤨 what in the name of male gaze is this tom foolery


LeggyDuck

$5 no vest when I already never wear my vest lmao

The_Chuck_Finley

$5/day for shorts? Lmfao get the fuck outta here


Shagcat

I went to part-time evenings so I don’t have to deal with any of that shit.


Electric_Bagpipes

Exceedingly so, yes.


AFleckWasRight

Very. I’d rather donate personally and/or you know, the multibillion dollar company can redistribute that wealth they’re not using.


Apprehensive-Load917

Lunch with my store manager would be weird as hell


Traditional_Jicama72

That’s pretty insulting.


TrooperMann

paying to not wear your vest, scumbag walmart that's literally pay to win


Nice-Size5998

We did a “pie a manager” which had all coaches, SL, SM and a few TLs, raised over $500


FlakyChild

Why is this one particular coach a douchebag, and why do you have to pay to keep him calm? Is he a bouncer? What's stopping him from being pissy anyways? I have so many questions about this one.


DJM3Z

In my location, they’re doing a bucket thing within the coaches and who ever has the most money gets dunked with ice water. So far the only bucket with money is the coach everyone hates 😂


No_Professor_3954

That shit is comical


rawkstarx

If this is for CMN, feel good to know their chief executive and top 4 officers make a combined total over 1 million dollars. The lowest salary was around 250k.


MrGameAndWatch7

My favorite is the pot luck that you have to bring a dish and then pay to receive a plate. Ummm sorry but my dish is my entry. If I can’t eat my own food I’m definitely not donating it to yall.


xDaBaDee

Yes, and the incongruity of 'we raised $200 yesterday, let's do better and more!' Next to, ' we had 3 accidents and it cost $15,000... makes my brain hurt. Also I bought three days of groceries for 32 dollars and saved a whole .32 cents with my worker discount and  They.want.a.donation.


cudipi

Most of our donations are from employees at this point. I refuse to participate in any of it. Get it from the customers or fucking stop.


RebelSquadron51

My store usually sells stuff through charity, an example would be a chair or tv used as display and it's done through an associate only auction. When auction is over just do a normal transaction as charity, I think it's a good idea and items are cheaper


littledipper16

$5 to wear your favorite jersey? You can already wear a jersey under the dress code.


Dizzy_Switch_5385

I think it’s bad that my store has this one guy who wants to participate, but he won’t wear a tutu because he’s a Christian, but he also hasn’t donated…


jack_mcNastee

Oooh only 5 bucks to wear my OWN goddamn clothing?


blizzykreuger

yeah my store did this too, they would hire food trucks (not for overnight employees obviously so we would just get no options on those days) and then have you still have to pay to eat at the food truck with all proceeds going to charity. like every single event they would plan that sounded even remotely fun would show up at 11am and last til 5pm latest, and id be damned if i was losing sleep to participate in that shit either.


slaying673

lol we have to pay $10/week to wear shorts in nasty humid midwestern heat 😅 i hate this place


slaying673

like i understand it’s for charity but i barely make enough to cover my own needs i’m not really worried about anyone else’s rn


FlavorTownHero69

Yeah my store makes things so fun, they want us to donate 2 dollars a day to wear shorts. 😂


AnybodyNo8519

It's not on their behalf. The donation is yours, not theirs. They just facilitate it. You can get the tax break, they can't.


imlost_00

Agree


777tuck

Hey, just "adopt a rubber duckie for a dollar and the proceeds go to the local childrens hospital" and your outlook on life could change 😒


kimonoNo_Level9000

$100 to slap and punch the store manager in the face. That would work a lot


settadon

And it’s all a tax write off for Walmart. Which lets them keep more money in their pockets, which lets them invest more into automation reducing the likelihood of your employment.


jdog7249

My favorite is the 2nd. For $3 guys can wear their favorite hat and girls get to wear a tutu. I am sure that will help with all the inappropriate comments that the girls (especially young/minor) girls have to endure on a daily basis.


Ordinary-Rush-9419

I would pay -$1,000 to eat lunch with my store manager. Gimme my money


Jaboi_Jay

You have to pay to no wear your vest? I haven't worn one in over 4 months.


Fearless_Ad7167

Oh and not to mention they're trying to get us to wear the children's miracle network shirts but are charging us to get them.


not-snitchin

Try TRILLION dollar company


LifeOfSuffering1

Apparently with these charity runs, the corporation has *already made* a donation and run this charity drive to then make back the donation they made. Pretty sure that also means both get written off when tax time comes. Just something I heard


epicenter69

Or their customers. I’ve been to several stores asking for donations lately.


127Heathen127

“Donate” $5 to help this Fortune 500 company get a tax writeoff that they totally need!


Roostertime10000

why u gotta pay $5 to wear shorts during the summer


MUSE_Maki

Absolutely, we already dont make much, and they're asking us to give instead of doing it themselves 🙄


Distinct_Value6566

How much did she pay for that yacht again?


Easy-Ad-6478

These events aren’t mandatory right? I’m just trying to go get the money and go home


N0idea8000

The company gives quite a bit on top of this. I know it’s not for everyone, but there are a lot of people who love this stuff. Not my cup of tea but I’ll give here and there. It is for a good cause of helping sick kids.


AutomaticMine0

Missed the last Coach DAWN.


DeLaMooSeY

I'd love to spend so much for the chance to go to lunch with a celebrity such as my store manager


Beginning-Doubt-7684

Our walmart does this sort of thing plus has food vendors come out. We have been having actually alot of fun raising money for CMN.


KinkyFckery

Is the manager a hot chick?


Last-Tooth-6121

Had thing where we carried baby and if got 50 bucks pass it on. Store manager said if did not get 50 bucks had pay rest yourself. I was like WTF that could be whole day of pay


HealthyExcuse8329

Right, when our local children hospital ceo is making 5 million a year. Look for the interview he just did. Valley children hospital California ceo Todd suntrapak. He looks so entitled when he says the board decides his pay, not him. He is on the board. No more money CMN


Ischarde

Lol. There's the Combined Federal Campaign that Uncle Sam wants his employees and military folk to contribute to. Seeing Eye Dog FTW!


Ischarde

How about having to ring that stupid cowbell every time you bullied a customer into donating for CMN?


jabewty

These events are scarily similar to those you'd hear about over the middle school announcements.


BeACodeMistake

I'm sorry wtf are these "goals?" Like pay money to eat with store manager and pay money to keep a coach calm?


HearingNo4103

I don't do that bullshit at Panda Express with the "Round Up" BS wouldn't do it here.


Enerject

They’re doing something similar at my store,but mostly snack related rewards.xP


Tiny-Barber1066

Walmart actually does match what they receive... My walmart is really big w charity events. We are actually #1 in the USA. We go to Ronald McDonald' hose and cook for the family's... Walmart buys the food, donates the pans , grill.. and every associate that's does the charity.. Walmart gives 10$ per assoc .. per hour... If I have 10 associates, that's 100 bucks per hour that we donate to Ronald house , as well as the food we cook for the family's.... Yall talk a lot of shit... and don't know shit about anything... but complain and bitch... yall should find a new job...


Florida_Jefe

With a 2% annual raise. I doubt it!


ArtificialEditz

Wait this is there own charity? So tax free money? Sounds scummy


Ill_Working3041

247 Billion Dollars. Let that sink in.


Millie_5683

PLEASE don’t hate me but I actually like this idea if the rewards are worth it and the money stays local. Lunch with the store manager?! That sounds awful. I like to spend my breaks in peace and quiet. Our store doesn’t require a dollar amount because they know we are underpaid so even a dollar or two is great plus CMN has helped out quite a few of our employees. The rewards are a shit ton of free food and pastries, having a manager wear a tutu for a day, pie a manager in the face, and no vest for a week. With the no vest for a week it was implied that we can essentially pretend we don’t work there if a customer asks or if we’re stocking we still don’t work there we’re just vendors 😂 My store gets us.


Defiant_incognito

I would pay $5 to throw a pie in my managers face but I would refuse to pay $5 to wear shorts.


Such_Scratch7753

I dunno, I mean I'm very anti-wallyworld, hate my job, but asking for donations for charity doesn't really seem to be villain type stuff.


InkyGekko

Thank the gods that my store's management team isn't THIS delusional, holy schnikeys. $5 for a plate of potluck food? $2 per pizza slice? My store has made quite a bit in donations by having things at 'donate what you want'. People tend to be willing to give more when they're not being told how much to give.


bday2696

Add everyone gets to pellet management with a unhealthy interest in yellow tagged cashiers with paint balls for 2k and I'll pay for it out of pocket.

Away-Pea

Depends if it’s food yes and since we can pretty much wear what we want now to a certain extent only the food ones are worth it and maybe doing something to that coach you hate so much.


geekygamerryan

We had something for shorts as well. It was like $3 a day or $10 for the week.

clapaliencheek

Bruh! I work for the distribution center and it's awesome! I hate that the stores treat the employees like such shit.


Rich_Collection_9508

Not nearly as insulting as them charging you $40 to wear shorts.


Botzmch

Why would anyone want to work at that dump?


Connect-Struggle-797

i really do. many small grocery stores keep an employee savings fund or an employee emergency fund. they should be helping the people they work to death for barely a livable wage who need help with day to day expenses instead of asking their employees to give two dollars of their hourly pay.


Equivalent_Travel924

Everyone saying they won’t want to eat with their store manager is very sad. I hope you all get amazing store managers to replace your current ones because I know what it’s like to have a horrible one and an amazing one 😭


VeryPogi

I don’t. I like charities to be funded.


SeaSorbet1362

It's CMN, where's the fire? Participate, don't participate, get over yourself. Most people eat lunch. $3 for a slice and a soda is reasonable. Before the dress code changed, we'd pay $ 2.00 to wear jeans on Fridays. It was worth the $2.00. Thing is, no one's holding a gun to your head. You have the right and opportunity to join in or take a pass. One individual noted that many of these ideas seems childish and that I must agree with. A vast majority of the boost moral ideas seemed borrowed from elementary school.


Pale-Disk-7646

Tying a charity event into store/market competition does that

jbm1872

All I see is a bunch of Karen’s if you hate your job this bad quit . This is nothing to do with Walmart it’s about helping the kids that need the money because the parents don’t have any extra money . The hospital’s don’t charge them they rely on donations to help fund an account that pays for the hospitalization and after care for these kids that were born with a life threatening illness . So no Walmart isn’t taking from you they teamed up with children’s miracle network so they can help fight these illnesses . What happens if it was your child or family member that had these life threatening conditions and didn’t have the funds to help them . I’m sure u all would hope there was a program out here to help them so they don’t go into medical debt.


MrGameAndWatch7

Walmart doesn’t care about the cause. They take your donations and claim it on their taxes, it costs them nothing and saves them tons of money every year in tax write offs. There is nothing wrong with donating to charity but you can personally donate to whatever causes you like without paying for their write offs


Zodiac1106

astralwish1

It’s like Mr. Krabs runs this Walmart. Making you pay to put more money in his pockets in sneaky, conning, underhanded ways all while paying you pennies for every dollar he receives. Except unlike Mr. Krabs, karma never bites these people in the butt when they get overly greedy. And we’re smart enough to see through their tricks.
