I work overnight stock and our store would fall apart without overnight stockers
Wal-Mart is a joke. I work over night stock and our store would fall apart without overnight stockers. At our store, Cap1 and Cap 2 fails at getting the job done. Mainly because of poor supervision. 3rd shift stocks all departments, including... — read more

No Overnight Stocking?
No Overnight Stocking? Uh, right. I highly doubt that. Wal-Mart wants money overnight, literally, so they have stores opened 24/7. Why bother closing overnights if it means losing out on potential profits?
