A well - known Walmart scary story involves a haunted mannequin. Apparently, there was a mannequin in the clothing section that always seemed to be in a different pose or position than how the employees left it. Some customers even said they saw the mannequin's eyes follow them as they walked by. It created a really creepy atmosphere in that part of the store.
There are stories of items mysteriously moving on the shelves at Walmart. For example, a customer put an item in a specific spot and when they came back a few minutes later, it was in a completely different location as if something or someone had moved it in a spooky way. This could be due to employees misplacing things while stocking, but the sudden change still gives an eerie feeling. Also, some employees have shared tales of hearing unexplained noises coming from the stockrooms, like whispers or the sound of footsteps when no one else was supposed to be there.
Sure. There was a story where a cashier saw a face in the security camera feed that wasn't supposed to be there. It was a distorted face that just appeared for a second and then vanished. It really freaked the cashier out.
I heard a story where a customer found a strange object in their purchased item. It was a small piece of metal in a box of cereal. When they went back to the store to complain, they had to deal with a lot of bureaucracy. The staff didn't seem to take it seriously at first, and it took a long time for them to finally offer some sort of compensation or apology.
One horror story could be about long lines at the Baypines Walmart with rude staff. Maybe customers had to wait for hours to check out and the employees were unhelpful, not answering questions or being impatient.
One horror story could be long lines at the TLE (Tire & Lube Express) with really slow service. Customers end up waiting for hours just to get a simple tire change. It's frustrating when you have other things to do and are stuck there.
There was a case where a customer got a car battery from Walmart. They installed it in their vehicle, but it turned out to be defective. The car wouldn't start at all, and when they tried to get a refund or exchange, they faced a lot of red tape. They had to jump through hoops to prove that the battery was bad, which was really frustrating and took a lot of their time.
One horror story could be constantly being short - staffed. You end up having to cover multiple departments all by yourself. It's exhausting and there's no way to keep up with all the tasks like restocking, helping customers, and cleaning. Another could be dealing with really difficult customers who are rude and demanding all the time, and management doesn't always back you up.
One horror story is about the long hours. Workers are sometimes made to work back - to - back shifts with very little break time. It's exhausting and can lead to burnout. For example, a cashier might have to stand for 8 - 10 hours straight without proper rest.
There was a time when the cash register system at Walmart crashed. The cashier had no idea how to handle the situation. Customers were getting frustrated as the cashier had to manually write down prices and calculate totals. It was a total mess and took forever to get through the line.
A rather disturbing Walmart greeter horror story involves a greeter who had some really unhygienic habits. They were constantly coughing and sneezing without covering their mouths near the entrance. And when customers would try to avoid them, they would get offended and start making mean comments. It was a really unpleasant experience for those who just wanted to do their shopping in peace.
There are stories of managers who play favorites. They give all the good shifts and opportunities for advancement to certain employees while ignoring the hard work of others. This creates a very negative and unmotivated work environment for those who are not in the 'in - group'.
