EliteABombAZ Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Hi. My wife is getting hired with Walmart this week... (She's gone to 2 interviews, was "offered the job" and she took her drug test... just waiting to be scheduled for training/orientation)... anyway... what kind of employee discount does Walmart give and is it honored during Black Friday?
best4less Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 My hubby works for Walmart- they get a 10% discount and I DON'T think it will be honored on BF (discounts can't be used on clearance, sale or food items- I would guess that means it can't be used for BF either since that is a sale although, we never tried).
jlodoj Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I worked at Wal-Mart over the summer while school was out. You can use the 10% discount on sale items, but not on clearance items. You can only use it on "food" items which are sold at the regular Wal-Marts. Hope this helps! Jeannie

I'll have to yell at him for that lol. As for food items, the discount has never been applied on any of the food items we bought and we always shop at regular (non superstore) Walmarts. Nor on the clearance stuff.
EliteABombAZ Posted November 7, 2005 Author Posted November 7, 2005 If it does apply to BF, I can get that laptop for $358.
best4less Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 If it does apply to BF, I can get that laptop for $358. If it does then yes you can It will be cool if it does. I have a few things I want to pick up and the extra 10% would be nice EDIT: You know come to think of it, it may apply to BF. I remember we bought my son the bike they had last BF and used the discount. Although I don't remember if the bike was an early bird item or not but, I remember we did get the discount.
saraczek Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 a friend of ours worked at our local walmart, at that time they could not use the discount for early bird BF items...they could not even get the items...they had to have firends or family members get them for them
Kandy Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 10% applies to black friday items or has in the past. They can not purchase the itemswhile they are on the clock and in the past here all staff has had to work on BF AM's
Jenniferharrison82 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 We have always been able to use the discount on bf, and pick up the items ourselves if we want to.
ebony0421 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I have a friend that works for Walmart in N.C. and she gets the discount and they can shop, but only on their break or lunch time.
rachelgirl4 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I used my nieces discount at walmart when she worked there on black friday no problems at all. 10% off.
EliteABombAZ Posted November 7, 2005 Author Posted November 7, 2005 Well... My wife's availablity is GRAVE YARD 10am to 6am. I will grab the items and she will be off in time to get them rung up during the early bird times.
mcmahonfan Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I work at Wal_Mart now. We get the 10% discount on Black Friday stuff has we do on everything else. Also at Christmas we get an extra 10 % off on one item but we don't get to do that til after Black Friday.

The Dept. Mgs usually send in the spouses
best4less Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Also at Christmas we get an extra 10 % off on one item but we don't get to do that til after Black Friday.Yeah, I'm not sure they do that every store though (don't know why). Last year hubby got one of those 20% off one item coupons (can't be used in conjunction with the regular 10% discount) and we tried to use it at a different store other then the one he works at because the other store is actually closer to us. The cashier was like "Hey, I didn't get one of these" and called her supervisor over. The supervisor wouldn't let us use it there because he said their store doesn't give those out. We would have to use it at his store. Ooops.
aolson Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 This was almost 7 yrs ago - but Black Friday was my last day. So as soon as I finished, since I had agreed to work that day as a favor, my two wks was already over, they let me do my shopping and get my 10% off before I had to go hand in my card. But also, I am thinking it was the night before Thanksgiving, we got an extra 10% off. Andrea
