My twitter's reputation is flawless. twitter.com/FANTAVISIONTV

it killed local shops and treats its employees like trash.

I really don't like that they refuse to pay their employees a living wage. They are one of the biggest employers in the country. All of those people don't make enough working there.

You forgot the fact that the stores have like 14 check out lanes & only 1 or 2 are ever open.

Lesson learned, DONT WORK FOR WALMART.

I worked at Walmart for a total of 12 years (combined service) at two different stores. The absolute worst employer I've ever had. Never again. I'm self-employed now and couldn't be happier 😁

Shame Sam died, his kids have just turned Walmart into a something he never wanted it to be.

As soon as i heard human trafficking, i all of a sudden remember those "missing kids" pictures that were always at the front of walmart. Hmmmm

Watching this while on break at walmart

High cost of low prices.

as someone who worked at Sam's club for almost 5 years it really was a shit hole. As an overnight worker you basically have to do 60+ hours of work in 40 and if you went over 40 hours you got written up, forklifts always broke down, the management was trash, people blowing there way into a position they didn't earn and that's just to name a few things.

Walmart be like "We don't like all of you. You do everything for us and you will live by that! IF you have a family emergency, you're written up, if you are hospitalized, you're fired. IF you use the term UNION, you will die a painful death!"

Yeah don’t work at Walmart I worked there from April 7,2017-October 25,2019. I wouldn’t wish this job on my worst enemy. When it comes to the managers it’s like talking to a brick wall. It could be the stupidest way to do something,if you don’t do it their way even if it takes you longer to do it your wrong. I remember a time it was close to the holidays understaffed as usual ,we had two trucks ended up finishing late. Everyone got a coaching (write up) just because we finished a bit late one by one called in the office. The management expects so much from the workers but don’t wanna pay the acceptable amount,you cannot pay your pills on $11.22 itself. In basic words don’t work for Walmart there so many jobs out here the pay better and you will actually get appreciated for the work you do.

I worked overnights and later on cap 2 from April 2014 - January 2020. Both get treated like shit. I remember the store manager saying “Cap 2 is the backbone of the store.” What that really meant was we work harder than anyone while getting paid the worst (except cart pushers). Got so tired of working hard and getting bitched at anyways. And they wonder why everyone leaves cap 2 eventually? Produce, OGP, and cap 1 didn’t look so bad. Lesson learned: NEVER work a job with a high turnover. Keep up the good work Fanta!

This may sound crazy to some but I actually got fired from Walmart because I reported one of the managers for raising his voice at me.

I'm with you on the Walmart vibe. It's like there is some sort of emotional black hole that sucks joy from life the longer you're there. I had a similar feeling when I was stuck in Barstow for a day. Big surprise, that town has a Walmart based economy. Employees not getting set hours is another factor. Maybe you'll work 30. Maybe you'll work 15. Oh, and don't count on coming in the same days or times each week. They'll just randomly change your schedule from week to week because whoever is in charge of such things is apparently just using a dartboard. And most likely on crack. This sort of scheduling has been shown in multiple studies to have severely detrimental effects on employee health. Speaking of employee health, at one point Walmart took secret life insurance policies out on about 350,000 employees. Unfortunately, it was not for the benefits of the employees, but instead any payouts went straight to Walmart. It was only discovered after an insurance company accidentally sent a check to a deceased employee's spouse. As one would imagine, she was none too pleased when the payee was listed as Walmart.

Fun fact: Sam created walmart because a store he shopped at wouldn't return his merchandise.

And Wal-Mart's insurance doesn't want to pay for medical expenses that comes when an associate is injured on the job. They refuse & have the bill sent to a collection agency. At times you have 2 or 3 associates will be standing around while a costumer is waiting for assistants Or they'll just walk past you without even asking if you need assistance. A friend waited for 30 or 40 mins & 2 pages for a manager to get the keys to the electronics. Finally he decided to leave but that's when the managers approached him. He told them to "forget it" he waited over 30 mins & was going to take his buisness to gamestop

Last time I was in a Walmart was 13 months ago. It was so dirty, depressing, dark and lame I left without buying anything.

I'd go to Target more if they had a store I didn't have to drive 30+ minutes to get to.

My father worked for WalMart Logistics for 27 years. He worked his way up to managing an entire distribution center. He implemented logistics programs that saved the company millions in overhead. Then, one weekend someone that worked for him sprained their ankle on a shift (when he wasn't even there), and went to HR complaining that they weren't told they could get medical attention and threatened to sue. My dad was fired a week later in December 2018, and lost not only his job but about $170k in stock options. I worked for WalMart for 7 years as an overnight stocker. It permanently changed me. I endured so much bullshit. Needless to say, most of my checks were pumped right back into the store, because you can (and are encouraged) to buy everything you need for daily life right there in the same store. I hate WalMart. I hate this company more than you can imagine.

They drive out all the local business when a Walmart goes up. I think of one other store like Walmart and that’s Target. Not much of a selection to choose from. It’s almost like they have a monopoly on that type of retail.. The one that I live by it’s the same thing they have one poor bastard running back and forth between 3 or 4 departments. I waited in electronics for like 20 minutes. I was pissed and I hope that guy didn’t think I was mad at him. Walmart has enough money to employ people to run each department. Not have one guy juggle all of them at once

It really put into perspective the physical feel of a Walmart, when I worked for them, when a former coworker mentioned that it literally reminded them of a stint they were in jail

I’m from England so we don’t have Walmart, so it’s interesting to hear the stories.

In a banned Judge Dredd comic Ronald McDonald says 'Everything at McDonald's is disposable including the staff'.

Don't forget, for many communities, especially small towns, Walmart is the only option.

I'll pick stores like Aldi, target and my local budget grocery store before I shop at Walmart. It's not nessesary with a market full of grocers to choose from in a big city.

Great video Fanta! Also my Walmart that I work at had those price checkers on poles but we took them down because customers kept laying stuff on the shelves around the price checking pole because they either didn’t want it or it cost too much. We still have the sign up for the price checker hanging from the ceiling even though the price checker isn’t there anymore😂

At least in my store (before I left) cart pushers were treated worse then cashiers, we got blamed for everything (including shit that wasn’t our fault) after I left... that’s when they realized the hardest worker left and wised up Side note: their “rollbacks” are a lie, I followed a few items I wanted, each time they would have a “rollback” it was marked up a dollar or two but kept the sales price stayed the same, the only real deals are in the clearance isles Another side note: the only way to get any unions in Walmart, you need to create a problem within the problem (for example, a protest to cover up a union rep coming in and signing the employees up for it) Another intro idea (or two) -get out of bed and have a “routine” you do -show yourself getting your ass kicked in a game - carry in groceries and put them away -doing laundry -(or just stuff in general)

It’s been over a year since I shopped at Walmart. I pay more to shop at Target so I don’t have to go there. But when I was there, I remember walking past an employee stocking the shelves, and I thought to myself “that guys life probably sucks”. I felt bad for the guy just because he worked at Walmart.

*easiest job to get* I dunno man I got an Associate's going on Bachelor's to full debt and I failed to get into Walmart. Yet ironically I have a way better chance in the Army.... Oh wait

So, this is my personal experience with having worked at Walmart for 2-ish..maybe 3….months: I just quit working at the Walmart Deli and even though I’m now currently looking for a job, I couldn’t be more happier for quitting. First of all, I desired part-time, but they said I couldn’t get the job if I didn’t work full time. I was also told that I couldn’t get the job if I didn’t work weekends-the most busy days. I don’t mind working on weekends, but was it really hard for them to understand it was my first job? I guess it was… They could not keep the employees for the Deli. They half trained me because like two weeks in, a co-worker got fired, and a little bit later, most of my co-workers quit all except for two people. They ended up making me work alone at night as I was a closer, while being half trained and got onto me for not completing the work on time (threatening to fire me) when they didn’t even train me well enough to get it done on time. I got to the point where I could actually get it all done 10-15 minutes past when I should have gotten it all done after literally two weeks. And even with such improvements, the times I should get it done in was constantly held over my head and it wasn’t even recognized by anyone but my co-workers. I was in a near constant state of pure anxiety and had a few panic attacks. I brought these concerns to them, but they offered no help but to say they would hire more people. And that took like a week and a half before they could even get 1 person. I was thinking of taking a PTO or time off, but knowing I had to work for three more weeks before I could actually take time off was just too much. My mental health was suffering at that point. I couldn’t think about anything other than work after work or on my off days. I quit have the mental, and physical, energy to do the things I both needed to do outside of work and things I liked. I became irritable towards my family because of the stress and anxiety. And soon…I started dreading the thought of going to work to the point where I was about to break down into tears. Because of all that I quit. And I couldn’t be more happier right now even though I am now looking for a non retail job. I’m now going to put emphasis on taking care of my own mental health when it comes to getting a job.

It happened about the time they became a Monopoly.

The only in-store job at Wal-Mart I’ve heard positive things about is the pharmacy, and as a former tech elsewhere I am inclined to believe it. You also nailed the whole horrible vibe of Wal-Mart, I deal with the worst of people there as fellow customers and used to work next to one such Wal-Mart, at an equally horrible store. At least when you go to Meijer, Costco or Kroger it seems lively, and as for electronics and other departments it’s worth just going to a specialized store.

They underpay their employees to give discount prices to customers, a shame...

Awesome can't wait for the evil corporation series

I always hate when people assume that people are on food stamps do so to just take advantage. I'm sure many really need them. 😟

I really enjoy your content and your views on retail. As a retail worker I 100% agree with alot of your videos. Keep up the good content!

Do the reputation of Bethesda xD

The 2 walmarts near where I live have kidnappings happen all the time.

As an ex wal Mart employee I will never go back I hated working there.

Getting a video game, some ammo, finding an associate or two to open the locked glass displays for said items during the third shift, is easier said than done. Having worked as an overnight stocker in the past, I avoided electronics as much as possible. Even back when Dept 8 was on the GM side, I avoided going through the double doors at electronics because I knew I'd get stopped by somebody wanting something from a locked display. I sure as shit didn't have the key for it. Neither did most of the people on GM except for the managers on duty. The managers in training at the supercenter I worked at (N. Scottsdale- Forgot the store number. It's located Raintree/Northsight Blvd and east side Loop 101) were some of the most heartless and ruthless people I've ever worked for. I was so happy to leave that place. I didn't have another job lined up and didn't care.

The creep factor is no joke...I work in a small-town Walmart and we have literally had people die in the store...two drug overdoses, one outside on a bench, another in the men's room in the front. Also found a dead old guy in a mart cart. What a shitty place to die, wonder if their ghosts are forever trapped there...🤔

Correction; Wal-Mart does have price scanners on poles, at least MY Wal-Mart does.

just discovered this channeling I love it. keep on keeping on, glad you don't have to deal with that bullshit anymore soldier.

Bro you are close to 50k!!! Been watching you for years man, much success to you!

Paying only $11.00 an hour and 2% (21 cents) raises once a year is horrible. That's the reason there's so many awful workers at Walmart but the customers are the worst. They make the employees look like rocket scientists in comparison.

Quick question where do all the managers hide at , whenever i go to my local walmart i see NONE on the floor helping customers and and actually work .

Just started working there as an overnight stocker. I don't mind the job itself, but I'm doing all this work thinking "I'm being paid HOW MUCH for THIS?" It's literally not enough. The quota is nuts for how much you have to stock in a given amount of time. Walmart is the Jeffree Star of retail.

Video idea. How much do you think it would suck working retail during a pandemic?

Walmarts in my area decided to intentionally remove all of the price checkers in the store in favor of using an app

That new intro smooth af

I always wonder how Wal-Mart went downhill

My walmart had a competent manager and a tight knit team he left and the lady that replaced them drove off nearly the entire team within a year. i'd say 5 out of 20 stayed, when i joined it was a revolving door. Management was pure idiocy and demining. That store was a complete dumpster fire

FWIW - I encourage folks to go to Wal-Mart - pick 10 products you buy there regularly and then go to Target or a near by grocery store - in most cases you are only saving 10-25 cents for each item. They have slowly been creeping their prices up over the last decade. When I used to save 20 bucks now its like $12. There are somethings in my area that can only be found at Wal-Mart and honestly - that is the only time I darken their door.

I’m a Costco worker and you never get tired of it because it always change every day usually so it’s pretty nice being in a costco

Walmart is the worst. Never get any help when i go there. I waited 30 mins for the guy to not come back. I asked him for a phone i needed he said be right back and then seen him walk around on his phone. happened like 2 times in a row. so i stopped going there for anything unless its abosulely a emergency. The store is packed wall to wall even in the mornings ever since people get their child tax refund every month. They spend money on stuff they dont need and i cant even enjoy shopping cause its always someone on my back in the aisle in packs. I will go to CVS for my prescription and other stores for food for now on. The they dont even sell anything healthy. Their meat selection is limited. Everything is cheap and Great value. I shop at a real food store like Shoprite.

US government policies helped shaped rise of such companies like Walmart and it’s not just the only retailer that underpays and treats employees badly.

wearin the same shirt high five for gamestop hell

Not too long until 50K! Awesome work, keep it up!

I love your videos! Would love it if you introduced some great Tequila's at the end as well. I'm a big scotch and whiskey guy oh, but I love good tequila in the summer. Don't know if you drink that, but if you do, love to see it in some of the videos and see what you grab. Keep up the great content and stay safe!

My walmart's roof leaks like crazy when it rains. If you come in on a rainy day, you're gonna see buckets everywhere.

0:12 "doing my best Toby Maguire at the end of Spider-Man 2 impression" NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

It's not woo woo - I feel the same way when I walk in there. It's one of the reasons I almost never go there. I'm a pretty positive person so it's a very noticeable feeling when I enter a walmart

It's ridiculous while working you still need foodstamps.

The Fanta edits are evolving.

Nothing worse than the horrible people I have to work with such horrible horrible people

This reminded me that I once watched a documentary about alot homeless people and people who live/travel in their cars, who live outside of Walmarts

I love how Fanta'd intros get more obscure and trippy with every new video

As a former employee of Walmart myself, they would literally not let us take breaks half the time. A 9 hour shift and you might not get a break till 7 hours in. Like, the computers WILL lock you out after 6 hours straight and force you to take a break. The managers however, will make you log on using someone else's info and keep working. It was an absolute nightmare.

I remember when I worked in electronics at walmart during the night shift and they had me trying to do that department and also work stationary and another department all in one night. I cant do a good job to help people in electronics if im working somewhere else. They always did understaff there cuz they want ppl to work 3 or more areas instead of hiring people to fill those areas.

10:53 - our Wal-mart has these poles. We've had them for probably 20 years, lol

Costco doesn't have the vibes of sadness because they pay their employees well

Does Target pay a living wage at 40 hours a week to their employees? Or just a percentage of employees like most big box retailers do?

The understaffing is on spot. I work in a department adjacent to Sporting Goods, which has a very busy counter. But for some reason, the store only thinks it's necessary to have one person, and if that one person is on break or lunch, tough luck. So of course people come over to MY area all pissed off because no one shows up when they mash the call button. It's like, hey, asshole, step off with your attitude, I don't work in sporting goods, so either wait OR DON'T. I don't give a flying f*ck.

Enjoyed the intro and editing for it btw!

Worked at walmart for 3 years, had 39 hours the entire time. To be fair I didnt even want half of that because i hated it but still

Loving the intro and format

I hate Walmart! I feel sorry for their employees. I really thought my job was bad but compared to Walmart it’s miserable but I would be in absolute hell there!

Also your point about none of the equipment working is spot on. I worked in the photo department, and the fucking kiosks would break down multiple times a day. We had people spend HOURS editing their pictures and end up losing progress, and then we'd have to deal with their screams and insults while management would never even call a tech in. Also we were forbidden from putting up signs to warn customers of known and constantly recurring issues, so the same exact preventable thing would happen every day, and every day we'd have to let these people take their day out on us, and management would give 0 fucks because they were never there to deal with it. I legit had a fight or flight reaction for 3 years after quitting any time I even walked by that hellhole, it's fucking eats away at the soul.

I used to live at a Wal-Mart, literally.

I worked there too. The vibe that you mentioned, in addition to the fluorescent lighting just makes the place reek of misery. It’s a sad place.

I made a Walmart hate subreddit

I miss working at Shopko. Walmart, not so much.

i dont even need to go inside a failmart, the second i see their vomit colored sign i get anxiety, i get pissed, i get sick to my stomache, i get migranes. when i know i have to go to a failmart i have to take ibuprophin, imodium AD, and swig a half a bottle of nyquil half hour before going

Amazon treat theey employees worst than Walmart

I have that same shirt, actually 2 of them (former gamestop employees unite!!)

There was a shooting in the parking lot right in front of the store at a Walmart I was at. I rolled up as the ambulance was leaving. The car the victims were in was there. There were bullet holes in the side of the car, blood on the street. Total yikes, man.

Wow, you explained Walmart perfectly, I worked on both sides too and it is a depressing place to work and shop, I worked before the demonic superstores started, before the depressing warehouse feel, the older style stores of the 80’s and 90’s had a warmer feel, lower ceilings and warmer fluorescent lights, they were better stores, then came the lousy superstores, I worked when they arrived and our old store was dumped and they built a new huge crap hole called a super center and they sucked. Thanks for making this video you did a great job explaining it:)

I try to shop anywhere but Walmart, literally☠️

Well deserved. They are sleazy to their associates. I know. I just quit after 13 years.

The fights at Wal-Mart are understandable. Customer or employee the second you walk through the double doors you are automatically miserable and hate life. From that point on the fuse to the powder keg is ready to be lit.

It was close to the end of my day, I heard my Assistant/ Asset Protection Manager tell visiting Assistant Managers, District Managers, guests, Associates and Vendors, I'm Only Asset Protection and I Don't know shit.

Walmart is poorly run. It's because of the lack of retail experience with the managers. All of the managers don't have experience. Only reason that they're managers they been there for years. Stacking up items and zoning doesn't give you experience in purchasing or hiring. I currently work at Walmart. I have ran my own business for 46yrs. I have more purchasing and hiring knowledge than most of the managers. I even mentioned it on my resume. Instead of making me a manager. They gave the job to another guy with no experience. They made me a team associate. I was assigned to work at the home department. Restocking and zoning the items. You're right about the bad pay and terrible work conditions. If it wasn't for the associate like me and others. Walmart would be a failure. Because the damn managers can't run the store. Most of them just sit in the managers room doing nothing. And the customers are to blame for the associates looking pissed. They leave perishable items like meat and milk on shelves. After you straighten out the items. Only have them to throw them on the floor. Not only that why in the hell you buy a item only to return it? It's not broken or missing a part. Reason you find it cheaper at some other place. And fuck don't ask an associate that work in home department to unlock the case for razors, perfume, jewelry, ammo,video games and spray paint. We don't have the keys. Only people that work those department have the keys. And the damn customers are always complaining about the long lines. The long lines are because everyone is quitting. They're short of skill workers. They're hiring school kids. Most of the damn kids don't do anything. But walk around and watch videos on their phone.

The walmarts where I am at have replace cashiers with self checkout yes booths

Hey Fanta I used to work for Sam’s Club in 2017 and it was a joke. I had this one manager who wrote my friend up so many times and got him fired also my ex-girlfriend at the time got set up and she got fired too. It’s annoying they had me do everything and I was a electronics department and the members would get mad that they had to wait because I was doing other things. I’m so happy I’m not working there anymore I work for Lowe’s now and they pay us very good and give us amazing bonuses. Don’t work for Walmart or Sam’s Club I hope Amazon destroys them.

The employees are treated like slaves that have no rights or dignity. When Walmart first started, managers would lock the doors and not let employees leave until all the work was done. Any overtime employees got was removed from that week’s time card and put onto the follow week’s time card.

Walmart is one of my least favorite places to shop. Kroger is another place that is overall bad for their workers

When I was at Walmart as part time, I worked a 38 hour week 6-7 weeks and then they’d give me a 28 hour week so they didn’t have to make me full time.

ON other videos, there are countless stories about people who for whatever reason don’t always make it to the bathroom there. Then there are just strange people who hang out there.
