...unless there is a strategic need to do so.
"....Managers can NOT create shifts that are needed but the Scorecard does not recognize..."
Actually, yes they can.
"...It is commonplace in 24 hour stores that NO CASHIERS are scheduled after 10PM except one body who gets assigned to self checkout, then has to run to the cigarette aisle when a customer needs tobacco..."
FYI...They are slowly moving away from using self checkouts. Furthermore, there are associates who are double "jobcoded" for both stocking and cashiering. Supercenters have at least 5-6 associates who are at least dual jobcoded. Neighborhood markets have at least 1. You also cannot buy cigarettes after 10pm. At least in the state of Texas you can't.
"And the "Price Match" deal is a scam, from my personal experience..."
I respect your opinion. However I must disagree. The real problem, ironically, is teaching and training management what the policy states--so they can teach and train their associates. And it's a broad policy, mind you---so it shouldn't take a long time to get them to understand what the policy is. As far as calling customer support, I would like to add that customer service is--despite popular opinion--taken VERY seriously at Wal-Mart. Store Managers have been known to get fired over poor customer service.
"... It's like the family-friendly "work at Walgreens for flexible schedules" rubbish of a few years ago that was ignominiously replaced by Scorecard where, unless Walmart owns you 24/7 at their pleasure, your hours get hacked and you get split or 4 hour shifts as punishment for having kids in a nursery school."
.....management can also get reprimanded (and in some cases terminated) as well for not adhering to the three principles set forth by Mr Walton. The first one is "respect for the individual". Those that violate this first tenant finds themselves without a job.
I've seen it happen numerous times.
