If you do get a job in customer service just remember to leave it all at work. Don't burden yourself with customer attitudes, do your job, work on improving your skills, and go home and enjoy your self.

Wow 2poor that wage is $7 to$9 an hour more than here for stockers.
Good luck Dave, I hope it works out. I'm pretty sure you're a reliable worker and that goes a long way nowdays. The world is full of "workers" who do a half arsed job I think you're better than that. Just give yourself some time to learn the job, you're not going to be splitting atoms it's stocking shelves. I saw an add for that pay range at a distribution center.mayve it was $21 it's been a while since I was looking at local jobs. I worked at Walmart just after highschool. I was cutting yards and doing tree work working for myself making more than my dad did working on my schedule. He keep saying I needed a 40hr a week job so I took one in sporting goods at Walmart. They had an hour lunch so I would mow a yard on lunch. It was an easy job but they watched hours close. No overtime, and you better not get 5 min more than what they max part time employees out at oryou would get in trouble. There were department managers there that had become wealthy buying into their stock program. It was a few month thing for me until something that paid better came along.

You should apply to both and interview with either that offers one. May end up with two job offers and then you can pick the one that is best suited for your hours, pay, travel time.

Dave, I think the only way to know for sure what the WalMart job will pay, is to go and ask them. You can go to the Customer Service counter and ask someone there to contact a manager for you to talk to.
They are looking for help, so don't be afraid to ask them questions. If you like what you hear, then fill out an application and wait to be interviewed.
You will do just fine, I'm sure you will. Good luck!
