Among the party essentials, children’s wishes and groceries, there’s one precious item many of us find ourselves wanting at the same time: a few extra moments in our schedules.
While the gift of time isn’t something that can be plucked off the shelves, there’s one way we’re working to ensure you can find it this year at Walmart. It’s introducing our Holiday Helpers, who will be helping to grant you a few extra minutes all season.
Decked out in bright yellow vests, jingling hats and a colorful satchel full of goodies, our Holiday Helpers will be stationed near the registers to provide an extra fast, friendly checkout experience. When lines are looking long, a Helper will open a new line to serve customers and help get everyone out the door in a snap.
Even better: If you’re in line, and you happen to remember a last-minute item you forgot, like milk, they’ll go and pick it up for you.
The idea to introduce Holiday Helpers came from customer feedback and Walmart’s store associates paying close attention to shoppers’ habits. As more customers shop during peak hours, Holiday Helpers step in with a smile to enhance the checkout experience, helping ensure that everyone can pay and be on their way quickly.
Customers will start seeing Holiday Helpers in stores beginning Nov. 4, and a new 30-second commercial that’s set to air in the coming days will offer a taste of what’s to come.
It’s our hope that these new helpers will become busy customers’ heroes when it comes to squeezing a little extra time out of a packed schedule this season.
