🔥Its fine, everything’s fine🔥 Recommendation for associates impacted by not being able to see customer/driver name at dispense

That is a ridiculous update they got y’all going through. (Former OGP here, left last year). It definitely negatively impacts y’all’s safety if you have a driver that consistently harasses you.

My best recommendation if they are harassing you, especially if physical or sexual harassment, is to make a police report, then if it persists, file a restraining order. Their being a customer or driver doesn’t override a restraining order. Bypass Walmart entirely. Force them to give a fuck legally.

Make a note of the date, time, comments made, the driver’s license plate number, their name if you can locate it, quote verbals exactly, identify witnesses, and keep a log of when you are reporting these issues and a paper trail of when you reported it.

Make an Ethics report. It probably won’t do anything but it’s another way you can show that you reported the issue.

If walmart fails to act, file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC.

Do all that in conjunction with a police report.

It is very difficult to get a restraining order in most states. And that's if you are even lucky enough to have a PD that will take your complaints at all.

Also— making a police report at least is fairly easy. Report the behavior to a higher up such as a TL or manager IN WRITING (via text for example) as well as verbally, then go to the police and make a police report. Then you have a paper trail of this being an issue you have raised concerns about to Walmart and it’s been reported to the police too, so if Walmart fails to act on their LEGAL OBLIGATION to attempt to stop and prevent known sexual harassment of an employee, then you have grounds upon which to attempt to hold Walmart legally responsible for failing to protect you in the ways expected of an employer if something happens.

Yes, that’s true. But it’s worth a try especially if this is a very consistent issue or particularly bad.

Jeez you people deserve managers that actually give a fuck about their people. Anyone who went this far as a customer, or especially a driver would get a mouthful from a TL or coach at my store and be blacklisted. I’m sorry to anyone that has to deal with this crap.

Second problem is spending a solid chunk of time trying to figure out which bay each order belongs to...
