Former Walmart worker discusses her old job. Then she shows what she was allegedly expected to stock alone in one 8-hour shift: ‘Make it make sense’

A woman claimed that she no longer works at Walmart and wanted to show what the company expected from her. On-screen text in the TikTok video by CowgirlsFromHell read, “I don’t work at Walmart anymore so here’s me showing how much they care about their employees!” She began the video seated in a car before the footage cut to a warehouse-style backroom.

She explained that she had worked in the meat and produce department. According to her account, the store was so short-staffed that she was scheduled to work by herself on multiple days each week. She said the role involved several tasks that she was expected to finish alone during an eight-hour shift that included an hour-long lunch and two 15-minute breaks.

The camera then moved through the area as she listed the duties. Stacks of black crates, cardboard boxes on pallets, plastic-wrapped loads, a pallet jack, and shelves holding boxed pork products appeared in the frame. She asked how she was supposed to complete vispick work, stock the sales floor, and place labels on everything under those time limits.

CowgirlsFromHell continued speaking while the camera showed more of the stocked space. Tall pallets wrapped in stretch wrap and additional boxes of meat products remained visible as she described the workload. She said the combination of short staffing and the list of tasks left her questioning how one person could manage it all.

In the video, she stated, “How am I supposed to vispick, stock the floor, put labels on everything in 8 hours by myself, plus an hour lunch? And 2 15-minute breaks.” She then said, “Make it make sense. How am I supposed to do all of this s–t?” The clip ended with another view of the crates, boxes, and equipment in the backroom.

The caption on the post read, “Walmart taught me a lot about big corporations.” She did not name a specific store location or provide dates for the shifts she described. The footage focused on the volume of product and equipment present while she spoke about working alone.

Viewers left mixed responses under the video. One person suggested limiting the amount of work completed to what a single employee is paid to do. They wrote, “just do 1 person worth of work. that’s all you get paid for.”

Another commenter claimed to have handled similar duties without difficulty. They wrote, “It’s not that difficult, it’s called Time management. Every store is short staffed. I have 1 worker in the meat dept and she viz picks and stocks the floor and clears her pallets before lunch.”

A different viewer advised contacting company channels and keeping records. They wrote, “Call ethics and corporate. Keep documenting everything.” One person recommended focusing only on the work that could be finished and then leaving. They wrote, “do what you can and go home. walmart doesn’t care at all.” Her frustrations echo other former employees describing Walmart’s worst jobs.

Another commenter said having enough tasks to stay busy throughout a shift was preferable to slower periods. They wrote, “Personally for me, I would be grateful that I have something to do all day. Whenever its dead, facing gets boring. Goodluck tho!” A further reply simply stated, “Put the phone down is the start.” Not every worker sees the job negatively, as shown by a Walmart worker explaining her $30-an-hour pay.

The video presents CowgirlsFromHell’s account of her former role and the conditions she said she faced. The details have not been independently verified, and Walmart has not publicly addressed the claims shown in the clip.
