About Walmart background checks

How long do they take? Or does it depend on the State?

The manager I spoke to told me that the background check should only take a day unless there is a criminal history or something like unpaid parking tickets. I haven't ever committed a crime and I did the drug test the same day I had my interview and haven't done any drugs. This was last Friday.

Should I call them? I assumed it would be a short wait.

If anyone was employed by Walmart, or knows anything about Walmart's background checks, could you please tell me how long the wait usually is and if I should contact them or not?

If they don't call you back doesn't that mean you didn't get the job?

You'd think they wouldn't do a background check unless they planned to hire. Up here in Canada at least in my city (Not under RCMP control) you have to pay like 60$ for a background check and another 20$ for finger printing and even more for urine tests. If Walmart was spending all that money on you , you'd think they would plan on hiring you.

Or did you pay for the background check yourself? I went to work for RealCanadianSuperstore and they made me pay for my background check. But even then I was told I was hired prior to taking the check and was told I needed the test to start working.
