The one thing that I am grateful to Walmart for is that during my employment I got the opportunity to work with a lot of great people. Even though the employee turn-over is tremendous, there were those that stuck it and relationships began to develop. I've been gone from Walmart for several years now and every time go there to shop it's good to see the some of the familiar faces of my friends or what's left of them. Most of the younger folks have moved on but there's a few of the older folks that I enjoy visiting with for a moment or two. There are a few that I still manage to keep in contact with outside of Walmart.
So, actually, I guess we develop our own Walmart family.
Thanks, Walmart, for the opportunity to meet new friends.

I totally agree with you. I met my fiance while working at wal-mart and my sister met her current boyfriend while they were working at wal-mart. My sister and her boyfriend left years ago but my fiance and i still work there. Both of us can't imagine working anywhere else. I too have worked with some great people that i will never forget. I've been with wal-mart for just over 5 years now and i wouldn't change a thing. It's a wonderful place. Don't get me wrong i've had some problems with some of my superiors but you'll get that wherever you work. I'm just so glad that i stuck with it and didn't give up.

Thanks for responding, serenitylynn. Sounds as though you've been fortunate in meeting your fiance while working at Walmart. Good luck to you with starting your very own 'Personal Walmart Family'.

I worked for Walmart, have been gone for 4 years. But like you, I did meet some really good people while working there. I was lucky to work with a really great crew, we usually worked the same shift. I also liked the little bit of discount we got, it helped out, since I was on my own after a 16 year marriage. And I guess I was lucky, I never experienced any of the problems so many complain about when working there.

Working with good people makes any job more pleasant. I never had any problems while working there. I feel that if you have a job, you go to work, do your job, mind your own business and go home. I've seen so many people create their own problems with their employers.
Thanks for your response, palonghorn.
