Hi Mad, it sounds like my store too.  Last year our Christmas party was in the breakroom all day for all shifts.  They did have drawings for gift items.  When they have the party away from the store they have people RSVP with how many guest they want to bring (we have to pay for extras) but when the day comes for the party many more people show up and they always let the big eaters go up first.  Last party I went to and took my husband was about 3 years ago.  By the time our table got to go up there was hardly any food left.  I was really frustrated, not so much for my self  but my husband because I paid for him to come with me and we hardly got anything to eat.   And on finding out about what associates get for being longtimers.  I found out several years ago that people that have been with Walmart since  sometime in 1990 or so get time and a half on Sunday.  I don't know when they stopped it and started giving a dollar more on Sunday but I didn't get mad about it.
