One employee from Wisconsin told Business Insider that they felt their team didn't receive "enough help or equipment to do the job."
A Walmart manager also wrote in a 2017 Reddit AMA that their store experienced a distinct "lack of staff," which they said was the reason so many cash registers often went un-manned on busy days.
"As a manager, I spend a lot of time on a register myself trying to cut down lines but there are a lot of managers who won't take it upon themselves to do that," the Walmart manager wrote.
Previous news reports have indicated that the issue of understaffing at Walmart is a company-wide phenomenon.
"Understaffing from the sales floor to the front end has greatly affected the store," Walmart customer service manager and union-backed OUR Walmart member Janet Sparks told The New York Times in 2014.
This problem isn't unique to Walmart, though. In 2016, employee engagement platform WorkJam found that 89% of retail stores were understaffed each week.
And employees reported that the problem of understaffing came with a potentially positive byproduct: many stores constantly have a lot of hours available for employees who want to take them on.
"Working with Walmart is actually fantastic," associate Carolyn Warhurst wrote on Quora, citing the abundance of working hours and the constant stream of customers. "Because they have constant customers and people have constant needs for daily essentials and supplies, they always have hours!"
