Or don’t.
If you’ve ever worked retail and/or graveyard … just no.
All they’ll do is employ people to work horrible night shifts questioning their lives for peanuts in pay.
And the people who come in at 2am…
Ugh
Is it that bad? Worked nights at petrol station and…honestly, one of the best jobs I had. Paid shit, but was chill and somewhat inline with my internal clock so…
One of my closest friends nearly committed suicide because of how miserable Walmart made his life.
My condolences. Seems to be less so night shifts and more so Walmart itself then. I know people who aren’t of the night-time is wake-time type are immensely drained by night shifts…never imagined it could be this bad.
I loved shopping at 2 am. It was basically me, nighttime truckers, and people who worked weird shifts stopping by after work. When I shop in the day the aisles are congested and shelves occasionally need a restock, and checkout lines out take forever (looking at you costco)
If one is in your area, Winco is your friend then. 24hr grocery shopping. They are also worker owned and have a great bulk goods selection, so they are a better food shopping experience at roughly the same price point.
I miss WinCo. Had one in the town my college was in. I used to get a cart full of groceries for like $80. That place was the jam
The nearest winco to me is a country away ;_;
I wish I could shop at a unionized store or a worker-owned place but none exist near me for groceries.
The best time to go. Free entertainment that late too from some of the customers.
I’ve always heard stories of shit going down at walmart, but I’ve never seen it.
Dennys, on the other hand…
nothing to see here :)
I don’t live in the US but I’m guessing people working at Walmart
at 2 amis not getting paid enoughI

Honestly, in a sea of underpaid jobs, it’s just nice not having to deal with customers, and some people are just night owls
I’m a night owl and working 2am-11am in retail had me driving to work with my seat belt off hoping a drunk driver would hit me.
Hate to say but I don’t think that job was for you then
I didn’t start off on that shift. The job itself wasn’t bad, it was the hours.
It stopped during covid and never started back up
Burn them all down instead.
There it is.
Are they not 24-hours anymore? I’ve not shopped at Walmart for probably a decade now. Shopping late at night was the best; you never really realize just how much other shoppers slow you down until you have the whole store to yourself.
I’m not sure if some random ones are but I travel a good bit and since covid I have not seen a single Walmart open past 11pm. They are one of a TON of businesses that got rid of overnight operations for covid and never brought it back.
That’s a real shame. Just one more L for us night-shifters.
Yep no more overnight Walmart. Damn shame Covid plus Trump ruined everything.
The problem I have is there isn’t a 24 hour pharmacy in my town anymore, and sometimes you suddenly need to by immodium at 3 AM.
We have one 24hr Walgreens left, and I think that’s it. Feels like the town used to be full of 24hr stores before covid, now it’s just that one Wallgreens.
I don’t think any of our Walgreens stores are 24 hours anymore. Since I was a kid, I watched Kerr Drug go out of business, Eccard’s (or however it was spelled) merged with Rite-Aid and then Rite-Aid was bought by Walgreens and half of them shut down. Meanwhile Wal-Mart and Harris Teeter both now close at 11. So if Sheetz doesn’t have it you can’t buy it after 11 pm.
I forgot a Sheetz opened here recently. 7 Eleven might open soon too.
Yeah our healthcare facilities close by 8. Which sucks since it forces everyone to the also underfunded and understaffed ER a 30 minute drive away after dark.
Currently awake at 3:49 am, night shopping sounds so calming but I’ve never done it before.
Life’s short, do weird stuff!
There’s no where to do it anymore
good. employees need time off too.
I worked at a 24h WM. it fucking sucked working 2p-11p then 7a-2p over and over again.
It’s quiet. Nice if you have social anxiety.
But stock is sometimes lacking.
I used to just walk da fuck out of my house as a teen and go to wmart 2 miles away at 2 am when I was bored. Would have given my parents a heart attack if they knew. I was stupid and confident in my ability to run away if someone attacked me lol.
We’d go to Ralph’s at 2am and buy a carton of half & half for $0.69 and pay with a check.
Far out, man
Please no. Let’s not normalize burnout again. Few good things out of Covid was humane working hours
Unless you worked night stock. Then it got even more insane.
Do they not? When I was a high school senior I liked going there and McDonald’s and driving around all night, but I’m an old man now so I don’t leave the house past January
I used to work two jobs and the middle of the night was the only time I could shop and I still don’t want them to go back to that.
I had a late shift job that was 6pm - 2am. I’d usually run to walmart or other 24hr grocery stores to do my food shopping for the week after my shift. It was always a breeze not having to deal with lines or traffic. The caveat being some crackheads just doing normal 2am crackhead things in front of the store.
Around Lancaster, PA you’d have a group of Amish teenagers wandering Walmart at that time of night, alongside meth heads.
The real reason:
Walmart ain’t got enough staff to enforce shit at 2AM
Your walmart closes?
