[QUOTE="Junior Bonner, post: 2737676, member: 33416"] A few years back I worked at the Super Center in Durant for a year. It gave me a new perspective on people; I began meeting some of the nicest people in the world - mainly Walmart shoppers. I wasn't used to people being polite and it really threw me for a loop. The employees were from a huge background of different job experiences. It was all very interesting. Walmart was very inflexible, though - at least the one in Durant was. It was run along military lines and that could get ridiculous. For example, everyone had to be dressed the same. Now, that makes sense, but I worked in Produce and had to spend a lot of time in the enormous refrigerator, and we would wear jackets in there. Well, Assistant Managers began telling us we couldn't wear jackets in there because we would be out of compliance with the dress code. Now, the Assistant Managers could be fired at the drop of a hat. They had mortgages to pay, kids to put through college, and they did what the unit manager told them to do. I gave my two week notice and went back into health care. But overall I have a positive opinion about my experiences working at the Walmart in Durant. [/QUOTE]
