Life of a Walmart Overnight stocker.

1. How to Read a Label
2. Overhead Storing (Top Stock)
3. Overstock

For those that are looking at this and actually plan to work at a Walmart, the biggest thing that’s going to irritate you is other associates overstocking those sections. This, depending on the item, causes customers to select and purchase the wrong item.

Probably made this video because they know that no one trains at Walmart.

Dude you give great information thank you

[crlosrzzzzz]

Good looks bro, i just started in food & cons. two days ago and although I’ve been getting great help from my fellow associates this just helped me so much. Thank you 🙏🏽

This the best video on YouTube explaining stocking. Walmart should be paying you for this.

ive been an overnight stocker for like a month or so and i love it. only thing i hate is when they have me by myself in a section and theres like 2 pallets and a couple of carts. sometimes more

This is the best training video I've seen when it comes to stocking. This guy should be a trainer. Please show us videos on how to use that scanning device you have. And also how to work at the backdoor stockroom when returning boxes and searching for items.

A15 - 6 will help to stage packages. Then you may have to scan it to find the precise spot faster. According to Walmart estimates you should have 8 packages on the shelf in the time it takes to watch this video. Some managers will hold you to those estimates, the smarter ones reliz they are off. If they are trying to shame you, count your packages as you throw them. 💪🍀

Thank you for this man. I was just hired for ON, and this vid was super informative so im not going in completely clueless on Day 1.

I start tomorrow and am kinda nervous because I never worked as a stocker I have done manufacturing jobs and cleaning jobs but this video gives me insight and knowing what needs to be done and how to do it thanks appreciate it 💯

Man, I worked overnight at Lowes as an Overnight Stocker, I left because we had this one woman that does the same thing we do, trying to act like a supervisor or tell us to do stuff being bossy, and I got tired of it

Everytime I seen her, she was trying to get me to do stuff, she made working at Lowes uncomfortable, anxiety, and miserable

The job was ight, but sometimes it just be who you working around

[crystaldawn]

I'm new and they want me stocking a pallet per hour..I'm nowhere near that fast..I might not be cut out for it..I'm not a robot..I work a steady pace and I get everything done before my shift ends but I keep getting the same complaints like I simply am not able to be that fast..and here I thought I was doing really good.lol😂

[SidNYoly]

Thank you for putting this up, mighty kind of you!

[Dale-gi]

Respect for dealing with those tiny labels.

[spiderguycoolwebzfororigin]

Bro you seem like you have all the time in the world. They want a whole section done in a certain amount of time and I'll end up having to do 3 and a half pallets before my lunch break. If I as much as use the bathroom or slow down to take a breather it's punishing. I'm on my second coaching when I've been trying my best to get everything done on time, and I've been working for just about 2 months. I've been slightly losing it

Unfortunately, many departments have some items with different kinds of labels, that don’t have aisle location numbers. So, it’s not a magic formula that will help you stock EVERYTHING in the store…

I start tmr with my bf of 4 years bc our last job did us wrong and stopped giving us hours and we have bills to pay. This video helped me out a lot thank you for the advice!

Do you have a video about how to take overstock back ? And what to do with it

[scottstewart]

Aaaand.. ya hope the distribution center has the correct modular layout for your store LOL. And for items with expiration dates, you are supposed to zone the oldest dated items to the front of the shelf and stock the new items in the back.

I worked building modular systems, meaning the physical aisles and shelving/peg placement.

If the facing is off then employees begin to "plug", meaning they start shoving everything behind other products and then there is no room for the product to the side and it creates a vicious cycle because the employees are being timed and fixing time consuming plugging issues is not accounted for in the overall daily task time. Consequently, the stocker is now placed in a precarious position of having to spend their time "fixing other people's problems/laziness", losing time and not getting any credit for it. And it's not necessarily any desire to receive credit, but if anything, being ridiculed for taking "a long time" to finish their assigned task within an alotted time based on who knows what, a pallet size. That is also why stockers don't verify as much because they open a can of worms and it only leads to physically readjusting shelf locations.

The modulars are created specifically for a reason all the way down to each peg positioning. Once the facing is off on a section, it spreads like cancer because not many employees feel they have the time to fix it because they may need to readjust an entire shelf, section and possibly an aisle if really bad.

And always "justify" left. Wherever the first item on the shelf is positioned left to right, that is exactly where the shelf label needs to be, to the very left of the first item in the shelf. That is where the facing count begins, and it also identifies where an item ends and a new item begins. And thats important because many items look the same, particularly in aisle A8-9, the pasta aisle with many different sauces but similar looking labels.

Also, a work phone with a scanner helps out tremendously because many of the boxes do not have a label identifying the aisle and location number. We each have an assigned phone for our store in Southern California.

Again, if a store diverts from the modular architect sheet, there goes your efficiency and the overall production begins to fail because the floor count, backroom count etc is all off and you waste physical time bringing inventory to the floor that doesnt fit on the shelf because of the plugging issue.

It's a cancer that store managers don't take serious. If they stocked for an hour in grocery they would get it.
