    I did not get all of mine at one time. They kind of came in in batches. Then I had 1 shirt with a 500000 mile patch on it, LOL, that they had to fix. One snapped shirt has had snaps go bad, and one pair of shorts had a bad zipper.

    I think they do shorts here due to the extreme heat. Some of the guys here wear shorts year around.

    We aren't offered shorts either. Then again, we are in Texas and most of the cow polks here don't wear short britches lol! At least nothing has happened with my stuff. I have brought a shirt or two home to wash for myself due to stains still being on them and Armark not taking them out. Its ok, once or so for me to wash a shirt and pants. Rest of the time, they can clean them. Also, we don't have "lockers" or "mail box" either. Our uniforms are in a room, seperated by number. ie my stuff is spot 75. Also our "mail box" is a two piece system. One is the filling cabnet in the break room where you get notices about things in general. Then there is your personal one that the coordinator has access to. That is more private info such as your green bar.

    Funny how we all work for the same company but things are done slightly different in each place.

    quick question here... ive been going through everything on all my records making sure everything is perfect before I apply at walmart. I just checked my csa report and remembered I had an inspection 9/6/2010 that didn't go so well. that lady was hell bent on finding as much as she could wrong. when do they check your csa ? is it before the 1st interview or when they run your back ground check? should I wait until after 9/6 when the 3 years are up to apply or will it be gone before they would get to checking it? its the only thing I have on any of my records

    They don't check your personal CSA score. Any violations that appear on your MVR report is what Walmart checks. Walmart does a check of your MVR after first interview & criminal background check after second interview (job offer). I would suggest you get a copy of your complete MVR before applying so you know what Walmart will see.

    thanks for that info!! just trying to be overly cautious.. there wasn't any moving violations involved mostly things the company needed to take care of but still looks bad when it was a long list .... my part was no medical certificate . my daughter accidently washed my wallet the night before and my fault for not checking to make sure everything was still in there.

    I know what you mean. I was extra cautious too. Good thing is as of January 30, 2014, you won't need to carry medical card with you. It will be listed on your CDL licence info. :)
     
    mje Thanks this.

    Not at all. I have a great relationship with my boss. We had lunch together and she wished me great success at Walmart. All is good. Tomorrow is my last day and only 5 days until I am a Wally driver! Wahoooooo! :)

    Getting late and doing just a quick check and had seven Thank you's added today by mje. I appreciate that. mrmuffin, yes your MVR should be clean. When you apply just fill everything out honestly. With the way Wal~mart does their checking, they will know what you did not put down if anything. Having a clean background is a plus. Other than that, your CSA score they will see further in the process. They don't tell us that they look at it but I am sure they do. Heck I looked at theirs and was very impressed. So fill out that app, and let your journey begin! Well have to pack my bag for the week so I better get going so I can get up on time and get to work and start another great week! Best part is, fresh meat to start next week with some brain freeze and brain information overload!:biggrin_2559::biggrin_25522::biggrin_2559: See you next week Tom!
