I think it's an excuse for them if them employee is lacking. If someone isn't doing their shit and then calls in a few times they have their automatic grounds to can someone. They have a hard time keeping employees so if you're good and get sick I'm sure they'll over look it.

I personally didn't stick around long enough to find out because I thought I was way underpaid for the job. I didn't think I should be in charge of doing WIC checks, add matching and keeping a balanced drawer and be paid the same amount as the door greeter.
I totally agree, cashiers are way underpaid for the shit they have to put up with. At least I don't have to work their long. I cut my hours to 16 hours a week. I hate it there. I am going to be looking for other part time work, however it is really hard to find something is a small town. There is a lot more part time work in Stevens Point (where my day job is), but it's also about 40 miles from my house. I'm thinking of applying to Menards anyway, they get paid $12/hour on weekends I hear and they don't have to bag groceries.

Retail workers are underpaid, period. It cracks me up to hear people saying that Walmart and McDonalds employees don't deserve $x an hour... not a single damn one of them has worked retail in 20+ years.

I hope you do find something better. I had heard stories about Walmart before, but I thought it was all talk. The HR at my store was a complete nightmare and honestly they were a bunch of bitches. When I quit I wrote a complaint letter telling them how fucked up things were. I can tell you from August to now I see NO ONE that was working at that time now except for some CSM's and Managers.

I have worked many jobs in the 26 years I have been in the work force and Walmart was the worse.

While I 100% agree with this, I just hope they don't discover Mturk until I'm done with it.
