As part of one of the major employers in the US, Walmart associates are responsible for overseeing operations, working the registers, merchandise restoking, manager duties, along with other responsibilities.

Since associates have so many tasks, there's a specific question they reportedly don't address well.

One former employee, Paris Mars, used social media to reveal the mistake a lot of customers make while shopping in store.

Mars warned customers against asking associates to check the back for extra inventory on her YouTube channel "Hey Paris."

"They're going to go to the back, they're going to talk to their friends, and come right back out," Mars said.

Mars explained that typical associates usually don't check inventory - but certain workers might.

Mars recommended that customers ask associates who work in the store inventory section.

The associates who deal with the store's inventory are usually moving large boxes, crates, a wheeled platform, or dolly.

Employees who carry around price guns are also likely to check inventory, since they can do so with the price gun, Mars said.

Most importantly, Mars says that customers who are nice and polite to associates will usually receive the most help.

"Be nice to the managers and you will always, always, always get your way," Mars said.

"If you talk with a normal voice and you're just explaining stuff, I promise you, the managers will respect you and will do anything in their power to make you happy."

In the same video, Mars also claimed that employees aren't fully trained when they are hired.

Aside from the electronics department, associates usually can't answer product-related questions, according to Mars.

When associates are asked product-related questions, Mars alleged that Walmart instructs them to read the instructions on the product packaging.
