Message: <blockquote data-quote="becker_atc" data-source="post: 1923002" data-attributes="member: 12903">I worked at a walmart TLE during college. The one in Okmulgee to be exact. Lot of the guys that work in those things are complete idiots and wouldnt trust them with a rubber mallet in a sandbox. I had previous experience with tires so I never had to be taught. I can do anything from bicycles to combines/tractors to split rims (I got the skill if i have the tools).For the volume of customers they are generally under staffed for the fact the managers know nothing about that line of work and dont realize how much man power it actually takes to conform with walmarts labor policy. Things like must take break every two hours, mandatory lunch if working more than 6 hours, and the fact that they RARELY allow overtime. All of that interferes with getting work done.Also its first come first served gotta go in order. So if there are 5 oil changes in front of a tire ticket technically the oil changes must be done first even if can only do two at a time. We generally bent these rules and treated tires and oil changes as two separate lines when we had enough people (so not often). So aside from the fact it is generally a bunch of idiots working there their policies slow things WAAAAAY down, but thats the walmart way. But if i had time to kill I would not hesitate to take my truck through the one in okmulgee depending on who was working for the facts that i know them and know how they go about doing the work and know i can trust them. One day i hope to have a tire machine and balancer instead of a tire hammer and irons so i can keep more peoples paws off my vehicles.</blockquote>
