Hahaha. Too funny!

So sorry. Hope she was able to make a full recovery

For all those who don't know: Many 24/7 Walmarts do not have adequate security systems for the few times they close. They often hire police to sit in the lot and watch the store.

Just because you don't have kids doesn't mean you don't have family you'd like to spend time with. You have a right to not do this, you deserve time off, too.

That shouldn’t be legal. Ditch the shift and go home for Christmas. You sound like a very nice person but the company is s**t. Just asking… why can’t the store close temporarily?

Awwww! Poor guy! Merry Christmas to you, sending cheer to your walmart

I work retail. 8 hr shifts, max 2 hours overtime, 12 hrs minimal gap between shifts. And, yeah, not US

Not legal. F that. Some companies will do this and it's completely wrong and unfair

How can you work 31 hours straight? It's inhuman, illegal and no one can be alert for so long time. Also, why store needs to be open 24/7 during holidays?

The company could close the store for Christmas Day but I guess that would be to nice a thing to do.

I feel your pain. I work for a restaurant that has one owner, but 4 stores, including a catering service... I've come to hate holidays. 72 hours was my longest, and through November and December I've put in wayyyy too many hours. We suck for being too good at our jobs. I'm soooo tired, my teenager never sees me... single mother, love America....

Dude volunteered for back-to-back doubles. What a kindness. That's a helluva hit he's taking for his coworkers. I sincerely hope they recognize his sacrifice.

hey aren't you the person who's always making plot twists

Me: on call at three local hospitals for 96 hours straight. The phone started ringing on the morning of the 25th and mercifully stopped the evening of the 26th. (24th & 27th were as quiet as ….)

That's not safe. I hope you didn't get sick from working 31 straight hours. This is one of the many reasons I don't shop at Walmart.

Except that's a Walmart and they were closed on Christmas. They closed 6pm around here on Christmas Eve.

Bless you for your kind heart

I did it as a tow truck driver after my kids grew up

Your co-workers should say thank you and bring you Christmas dinner.

Penalty overtime. Cha ching!

I was a department manager at Wal*Mart for a few years. Black Friday until Dec. 26th was a month of pure, unadulterated, hades.

Bless your heart . You’re a miracle

I think your amazing. I work at a company who let people go home early and it was by length of time they had worked at the company. Next year I will be booking my Annual Leave

You must be security, as the store itself is closed on Christmas. Bless you! If I knew where you worked I'd bring you coffee.

Sweet paycheck

That's nice of you. I hope you are getting paid double time.

I'm there with you!

Your own fault then lol

Yes you’re the only employee at all of Walmart with no kids 🙄

Wow! That's sucks but, kudos on being so cool to allow the other guys to spend the holiday with their families.

Well, bless yer dear ole sorry sweet heart. There'll be a reward in heaven fer ye.

OK.. so in NZ,when I work a public holiday I get double pay plus a day in lieu (some people get time and a half plus a day in lieu)..does that apply in the USA

Walmart IS closed on Christma, at least where I live.

This needs a higher upvote. That's incredibly selfless of this person. And also males me want to invite them over for Christmas.

"My View For The Past 8 Hours..." You've been in the parking lot all this time?

Bless you for your good heart! A very Merry Christmas and the best of health and happiness in 2023!

And yet, oddly, Walmarts aren't open on Christmas. So they're paying this employee to sit in the parking lot staring at the locked doors for 24 of those alleged 31 hours? Hmmmm... Not to mention the labor violations involved...

Who needs stores to be open at Xmas eve, Xmas or boxing day?

It's so sweet you did that your a W human being

this should be higher

There's two types of cats. The devil of the household, and the quiet one who pretends it didn't do anything
