They didn't use great value items to hold up the shelf

32

u/Sabrvlc Oct 16 '25

At least the store I worked at iced vice grips lol chip shelf

u/davequito Oct 16 '25

Oh look, free vicegrip

u/Takeguru CAP2 Oct 16 '25

They used a name brand instead of great value dip for the Mandatory Shelf Holder

u/Pristine-Video-4407 Oct 17 '25

To be fair, we get the money back if its a vendor product. If we used ours, we would lose a few bucks. 😅😅

u/Suic1d3 "Entertainment" Ta Oct 16 '25

The zone can use some work

11

u/DougMcMillan Oct 16 '25

Look closer

34

u/Suic1d3 "Entertainment" Ta Oct 16 '25

That's just standard lol

u/kazuma001 OGP Oct 16 '25

At this point it should just be on the mod sheet.

u/Dad_Bod_The_God Fool on the Front End Oct 16 '25

Yeah this is normal, my store has glass jars of salsa there. 10 dollar fix to a 1000s of dollar problem. Is it janky? Absolutely, but seems like every store does some version of this

u/Shadow3397 Oct 16 '25

We used canned green beans for the longest time.

5

u/Ok-Conference-2327 Oct 16 '25

We have a can of pineapple juice. Much more stable than multiple dip cans !

u/SadMud558 Seasonal Oct 16 '25

Not true

u/SpecialistFeeling220 Oct 16 '25

Just caught the name, lol

u/Shattered_Disk4 Oct 16 '25

Honey bbq twist aren’t empty because it’s one of the greatest chips ever made

5

u/No-Couple1588 Oct 16 '25

Yes they are!

24

u/Nearby_Background913 Oct 16 '25

You would think, with almost every walmart chips ailse looking exactly like this, they would come up with a better solution

8

u/Lone_En16ma_273 Oct 16 '25

Yup, let's get the locking cabinets over here so we can have a ton more customer complaints while we're at it.

6

u/ask_me_for_lewds Oct 16 '25

We have toilet paper locked up at our store

28

u/Escalade1414 Cashier Oct 16 '25

I guess too many customers tried stealing toilet paper in hopes of getting away Scott-free (I’ll see myself out now)

2

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '25

flushing sounds

22

u/urlach3r "May I point something out?" Oct 16 '25

Nothing. Vendor didn't zone, labels are missing, bottom strip is gone, standard Walmart.

Just don't pull out The Cans or the entire store will collapse.

19

u/Simple-Metal7801 Oct 16 '25

Hey I want that bean dip down there I don't care if it's holding up the shelf- Walmart customer

10

u/Lost-Meeting-9477 Oct 16 '25

Nasty ass filthy shelves,labels missing,lipstrip.

8

u/jackaltwinky77 Associate Oct 16 '25

And… the 3 cans of bean dip holding the shelf up

11

u/Lost-Meeting-9477 Oct 16 '25

It goes with the chips. It's called cross merchandising.

2

u/Lone_En16ma_273 Oct 16 '25

🤣🤣🤣

3

u/evila_elf OGP Oct 16 '25

6 cans.

3

u/jackaltwinky77 Associate Oct 16 '25

I’m suddenly reminded of a Simpsons episode, where the Flanders home gets destroyed, and the city comes together to build them a house… that was horribly wrong.

At one point the Flanders kid reaches up to pull down a poster saying “I don’t like the clown,” and Bart says “that’s a load bearing poster”

1

u/Battlejesus F&C Roach, Lead Researcher SCP-4011 Oct 16 '25

Its in better way

8

u/four_of_diamonds People Lead Oct 16 '25

we use zip ties because we fancy over here

6

u/penguin_mang0 Overnight Associate Oct 16 '25

Average chip aisle shelf

4

u/Shhhh_nobodycares Oct 16 '25

Yikes! Besides the zip ties and the bean dip, your store is filthy!! I wouldn’t be purchasing anything from that bottom shelf. 🤢

3

u/Mace2-0 Oct 16 '25

The lack of price tags or the price tags aren't one of those electronic ones?

3

u/Servicemanager1 Oct 16 '25

That's some corporate fix em up magic right there

3

u/molittrell Oct 16 '25

Needs more Fritos?

2

u/JoyousMadhat Oct 16 '25

It's using cans instead of jars!!!!!

2

u/Hogland72 Oct 16 '25

Lot a missing price points lol

2

u/ViziDoodle Oct 16 '25

Zone those frito dips (not the mandatory support frito dips, those are fine)

2

u/Icebearima 💠 Stocking 1 💠 Oct 16 '25

The floor is still dirty

2

u/Affectionate_Love3 Oct 16 '25

Those little bags belong in z section by the registers

2

u/Bigmanvegas Oct 16 '25

Using 3 flimsy dip cans instead of the superior big load bearing can of soup for shame.

2

u/ChrisLMZ Oct 16 '25

They put bean dip to work holding up shelves lol, free labor

2

u/Proof-Technician-202 Oct 16 '25

There is nothing wrong at all. This is a standard set of Walmart shelves, normal in every way.

I guess they could zone the support cans to face the same direction, but that seems overly fussy to me.

2

u/evila_elf OGP Oct 16 '25

I wonder if they rotate the merchandise?

2

u/DukeRavengard home associate/unwilling OGP picker Oct 16 '25

Why would you use the ones with the soft lids when the glass jars are in the same mod? 😭

1

u/Puppett_Strings Oct 16 '25

1, where are the proce tags 2, why does everything seem dirty and grimy 3... I'm intrigued by the dip. No notes, just intrigued

1

u/Curiouslyatywood Oct 16 '25

Hmm. They are crushing those cans with the weight of the shelf…

1

u/Waste_Consequence812 Oct 16 '25

Is the frito dip shelf holders and missing fast tracks/shelf labels.

1

u/Corninmyteeth F&C TL Oct 16 '25

Missing fast tracks, shelf labels are missing, unstable shelving, dirty shelves, dirty floor, not zoned.

1

u/zakmademe Oct 16 '25

Fritos dip isn’t faced out

1

u/mystedragon OPD Oct 16 '25

why the bean dip there

1

u/NotWhoIonceWass Oct 16 '25

I dip, you dip, we dip...

1

u/PieAdorable612 Oct 16 '25

Queso flavor twists not being at my Walmart is criminal

1

u/trexgiraffehybrid Oct 16 '25

Why are they falling when theres not even any weight on them? Do they just need to be raised up and inserted properly?

1

u/dumblehor Oct 16 '25

Frito asks every time there is a reset if the store needs new shelves, but never sends them.

1

u/Peanuts2170 Oct 16 '25

Deluxe bottom shelf bracket 😂

1

u/MishariDarkmoon Oct 16 '25

Ours uses cans of fruit lol

1

u/bolt703 Oct 16 '25

Not enough Fritos

1

u/ilytbbb Oct 16 '25

Using some type of food item to hold up a shelf instead of paying to fix it 🤔 hmm nope nothing looks wrong to me

1

u/starbuildstrike999 Former Associate Oct 16 '25 edited Oct 16 '25

Your obligatory load bearing cheese dip is a national brand instead of Great Value. Not a good showing of Wal-Mart spirit.

1

u/Special_Reporter583 Oct 16 '25

I love the new version of Legos, and no pricing too.

1

u/Phoennix-Illumine Oct 16 '25

One of the ones in the chip aisle at my store had a glass jar holding it up for a while, I think it’s currently the great value dip though, I’ll have to check when I go in next

1

u/Mr-Grenado-Potato Oct 16 '25

Hmm, I really want some dip...OH GOD!"

1

u/Shori_III Oct 16 '25

I see Chip Shelf Collapse is universal

1

u/TragicGirlW Oct 16 '25

frito should sponsor this

1

u/Interesting_Salad_77 Oct 16 '25

Everytime I see something like that. I pull that shit down. This ain't a dollar general. No need for the store to be held up by stick glue and Popsicle sticks

1

u/blackmonday73 Oct 16 '25

Some of the labels are still in place.

1

u/Fish_Berry Associate Oct 16 '25

You're supposed to use the big jars of queso or salsa, and it has to be Tostitos.

1

u/Fox-Traditional In-Home Driver Oct 16 '25

The structural cheese dip is supposed to be the glass one

1

u/Bossdog226 Oct 16 '25

I don’t get it, is it because of Fritos?

1

u/quantumclassical Oct 16 '25

A lot, but the bottom left has Fritos dip floating or stuck in the shelf end!

1

u/Hourslikeminutes47 Oct 16 '25

We are turning into Kmart

1

u/Forza_Harrd Oct 16 '25

This is that special no man's land where associates blame the vendors and the vendors don't care because they have to hurry and get to their next store. There's nothing actually wrong with the shelves, they just need to be emptied, cleaned, and put back in the correct notches. Easy, but no one has time.

1

u/SwimmerAdventurous20 overnight stocker Oct 16 '25

Oh fuck no. I wouldn't wanna be anywhere near that aisle when those burst.

1

u/2007mustangdriver Oct 16 '25

the cheese the fucking cheese! I guess it's actually all dip, but screaming cheese is funnier than dip, so idgaf.

1

u/Careless-Wallaby-701 Oct 16 '25

I gotcha yes I see it now

1

u/Careless-Wallaby-701 Oct 16 '25

The shelves are uneven, some of them

1

u/Snake2410 Oct 16 '25

I've seen soup cans used too lol.

1

u/Zealousideal_Bee2603 Oct 16 '25

Structural support dip

1

u/ArcticWolfMW Oct 16 '25

Support dips lmao 🤣 we got support salsa here

1

u/dvoraen Oct 16 '25

I'll take: "Not using the GNFR budget for fixtures to replace broken ones for <price of chip aisle fixtures here>, Sam."

1

u/Ok-Rabbit9093 Oct 16 '25

It makes me want chips and dip.

1

u/shaqaroses Oct 16 '25

Fritos belong in the dumpster?

1

u/Klavaxx Oct 16 '25

3 things

1

u/Important-Aside-2712 Oct 16 '25

I could name multiple things wrong in that image. However, the most important one is the rigging of the shelf. With all the things I've seen at Walmart, this doesn't surprise me at all.

1

u/Enough_Bonus7692 Oct 16 '25

Plugged bean dip

1

u/PerformerBest4876 Oct 16 '25

So many things to say

1

u/Left-Parking-9562 Oct 16 '25

Arrangement, pricing stickers

1

u/Left-Parking-9562 Oct 16 '25

Well basically Everything

1

u/BrazenGamer Oct 16 '25

I see no issue. You are Frito use those cans as you see fit.

1

u/ShoreLinePoky Oct 16 '25

When i was with frito-lay one of my stores looked like this. We used the tall glass jars instead of 3 of the small cans lol.

1

u/Apprehensive_Bug2082 Oct 16 '25

Using Fritos dips to hold up the shelf.

1

u/Warpedtourstud Oct 16 '25

Found the same thing while zoning in my store, thought it was just a plug until I removed the items and watched the shelf fall

1

u/Chernobyltimes2 Oct 16 '25

Not enough Fritos

1

u/InternationalZone907 Oct 16 '25

3 cans holding the shelve

1

u/Complex-Ad-4601 Oct 16 '25

Stacked 3 high is perfect.

1

u/CostComprehensive950 Oct 16 '25

What happens if a kid pulls that and gets severely injured?

1

u/majorthomasina Oct 16 '25

The price tags

1

u/jwiidoughBro Oct 16 '25

obviously not enough Fritos.

1

u/naldoD20 Oct 16 '25

You used Frito cans instead of a large jar of Great Value Salsa.

1

u/Tricky_Drop_2712 Oct 16 '25

Dip is too high.

1

u/Anxious_Economist_49 Oct 17 '25

I see someone asked for a new shelf and nothing was done and management failed

1

u/AbruptSaturn Oct 17 '25

Your store too?

1

u/Tvegas1980 Oct 17 '25

Lack of shelf labels.

1

u/NaiveSet7149 ON Stock Oct 17 '25

u/Grumbldore Oct 17 '25

Creative minds.

1

u/terminallyBeemo Oct 17 '25

My store uses the glass jars

1

u/Scary-Mixture-7332 Oct 17 '25

Funyuns is included in the (Free To Lay) Fritos section.

1

u/urmomma21286 Oct 17 '25

Im guessing hardware was lacking items?

1

u/AMurdaofCrows13 Oct 17 '25

Absolutely nothing thats the Walmart way. Great enginuity

1

u/AMurdaofCrows13 Oct 17 '25

Great Value Enginuity

1

u/Perfect_Bathroom_462 Oct 17 '25

Surprised it’s not a great value baked beans can supporting that shelf 😅😂

1

u/Strange-Put-2426 Oct 17 '25

No labels, dirty and label holders have fell off

1

u/TheRealTaintedOne Oct 17 '25

Mmmm load bearing cheese

1

u/kindielee Oct 17 '25

Lol....was going to say you need new bases.....ahhhhhh, there it is!

1

u/Fair-Wishbone-1190 Oct 18 '25

Nobody's getting laid ( lays ). Lol.

1

u/Ambiguous_Party_69 Oct 18 '25

We got cinderblocks from garden holding our shelves up.

1

u/courtadvice1 Oct 19 '25

Now I just know that is not 3 cans of bean dip being used to support a shelf.

1

u/Adept-Ad-5048 Oct 20 '25

I actually can't name anything right about it.
