and if you do, do you like it? do the hours go by fast? what all are your duties?

No, if I were you, I would buy a gun and shoot yourself. Get out of retail hell while you can.

I don't think that Wal-Mart has any qualms about what they sell anymore and I know that many of the stores already sell gasoline. The gas is provided by a supplier named Murphy where I live but I've noticed that Wal-Mart gas stations are cheaper than if you buy fuel at some place like Shell, Exxon or Chevron. Whether their gasoline is same quality as other places, I don't know. Wal-Mart has always claimed to be a 'family-oriented' business and I know that they don't sell CD's that are labeled "explicit content." So, I don't think hookers will be Wal-Marts next thing to add. But I also remember that Wal-Mart used to advertise that they bought mostly American made products. But right now, Wal-Mart buys from the cheapest source possible and they've had to abandon that 'made in the USA' philosophy they used to advertise to the public. Many Wal-Mart Super Centers already seem to have hair and nail salons, banks, delicatessens, pharmacies, automotive repair, portrait and vision services. Many Wal-Marts have floral and garden centers in them, as well as, fast ffod joints McDonalds. I'm thinking that maybe discount weddings or funeral services might be the next 'gimmick' that is added to your local Wal-Mart.

I never did overnight stock at WalMart but my fiance did. Idid work there as a cashier for a while though.
WalMart as a general rule is a sucky place to work. They don't pay for crap, using the excuse that you get all these company benefits that make your per hour rate above national average. It's a crock.
Don't expect raises or anything. And don't expect to be appreciated much. And I hope you have good shoes and a back brace, you will need it.

i worked the overnight shift at wal-mart for 2 years....its hell...the hours do go by quickly if you keep busy however.....mainly what you do is open boxes and put stuff on the shelves...also you organize and pull merchandise from the risers (if your particular store has them they're the very top shelf). my favorite part about this job was the people i worked with..the store was not 24 hours so we had lots of time with no customers near....we had a blast most nights
