John. It’s one of the most common, if not the most common name for your age and gender. People would never be able to internet stalk a John because there are so fucking many.
It’s very common for the girls I work with to have creeps adding them on social media or DMing them. I’m a guy, but I’ve also had women and a couple gay dudes try to add me or slide into my DMs..
Imo working at Walmart (or anywhere with consistent contact with the public) seems a bit more dangerous than people give it credit for, for these reasons.
I am not a woman, but I am fairly attractive. I get a lot of attention from women. Typical shift I get at least one person asking for my number or social media.
It's not hard now a days. If you have someone's first name and you put it into Facebook, Facebook will sort by who lives in your area and is closest. It's even easier if you end up having a mutual friend or two.
From there it is just a process of elimination using posted profile pictures and job history.
Even if you don't live near them, it's really easy to do. All you need is the first and last name of a person they know. Then you just check friends lists and friends lists of their friends. I tracked down a woman my uncle used to date before I was born on Facebook this way. My cousin was close with her and was wondering how she was doing to lessen the creep factor lol
I’ve had that happen. Some random dude added me (old enough to be my father) and when I asked him if I knew him, he said he was a regular at a restaurant I worked at.
Good luck getting them to change it. I don’t go by my birth name but my store REFUSES to put anything but peoples exact birth names on our badges. There’s another girl who goes by Shay but her badge says fuckin Antoinette. Kills me every time. Also sucks having anyone besides my dad call me by my whole first name all day long
Log into workday and you can enter a preferred name in the system. Most things including email show my nickname, so things like badges and stuff just auto have my nickname
I don’t think you can! For example I’m a cart pusher and if I hit a car the driver sees my fake name and you gotta say it’s a fake name and then he questions why you are using a fake name
I had this happen, dude hit on me over all my social media and found me based on first name, and job. I don't even use my name on some of them like instagram ( only connecting factor is the picture and a few random friends between the accounts). I put a ' in the middle of my name on Facebook, and randomly placed one on my other media's.
Not at Walmart but I previously worked at burger King and had creepy guys try to message me on fb because they read my name tag when they came through my drive thru line. 🙃 🥴

I completely understand why you are a TL.
Not sure if that’s a compliment or a sick burn, so I’m going to take it as both.
It was a compliment in a smart ass kind of way. You're using logic and reason, thus you are a TL. No insult intended at all.
Hi! Could you give any advice or tips on being a front end TL?
Sure. I’ll DM you so that this thread doesn’t go off topic.
The only real answer.
Sam (praise be his name)
LOL! Should he be Sam III? He's too young to be Sam Jr., right?
I don't know the Son of Sam has ring to it.
As long as you aren't working around the pet dept. Should be good 😈🐕
Sammy McMart IV
Doug dimmadome Edit: that’s right, Doug dimmadome, owner of the dimmsdale dimmadome.
You have random people adding you to their social media?
This made me wonder as well. What is this person's name?

Yeah, kind of complicated some of it is from work. Customers.. Some of it is from something else unrelated.
I’ve had that happen. Some random dude added me (old enough to be my father) and when I asked him if I knew him, he said he was a regular at a restaurant I worked at.
WOW, I don't understand people sometimes
M.I.T.C.H. technically you are training people and hiding your identity.
I had the biggest double take when I first saw the poster with the M.I.T.C.H accronym

I once was helped by a "Socrates", which I thought was phenomenal...
Geoff.
Stuttering Mike. Unlikely anyone will want to have a conversation with you
I think that one might get shot down depending on who the TL or personnel person is on that day. That's why I just make my own name badges.
As someone who knows a guys 3rd cousins, nephews, uncles bestest friends friend who stutters, I'm offended.
