As I discovered in my unfortunate 2-week foray back into retail after 15 years, most places do utilize an "on call" system. Where I was, I could call no earlier than 2 hours beforehand - in other words, I had to put my life on hold to MAYBE work that night - and whether or not you came into work depended a LOT on the individual outlook of whoever the manager on duty was that night. (i.e., some believe in extra coverage, some believe in bare bones-ing it) It was a pain in the ass, but I can understand it. They get penalized if their sales and payroll aren't at a certain ratio.
However, I was a part-time worker. This sounds like it's going to be used for EVERYONE, including those who have Walmart as their one and only job and are considered full-time, which is just not cool at all.
