    Yeah...it's not paranoia. Safety is calling drivers into the office, asking them what store they have been at, and pulling the footage from that store. The driver is then audited, and written up if they did not perform all of the steps required...and it's not just a walk around.

    In the 2 years that I've worked at Walmart, I've learned that there are 3 ways of doing things:
    1: The way that we all do it
    2: The "trucking company safety department way".
    3: The Walmart way

    Yes, the pay is good. But that pay comes with the bonus of micromanagement and bs safety writeups. Like going 72mph downhill in a 75mph zone because it violates Walmarts speed limit. The camera audits are just another weapon in their vast arsenal of weapons to micromanage.

    Well, all I can say is I love ordering my groceries online and having some little sweet thing bring ‘em out and load ‘em in my car, or coffin (whichever I’m in the mood to use as my mode of transportation).

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, don't let the average Wal-Mart employee know what a Wal-Mart driver makes, most of them look like they are ready to walk off the job and step in front of a bus already.:(

    That's because they don't know of the fantastic opportunities offered by BYOB&CBD! Hey, Honest TB, have you ever thought about direct advertising? Maybe get Ardis to wear a sandwich board sign, and walk around WalMart, extolling the virtues of a L/P? Or maybe get Inga to dial random numbers on the telly, and use a sales pitch?
     
    TB John, Dale thompson and mjd4277 Thank this.

    Ardis is busy preparing my latest acquisitions, and Mobley is going to night school after working a full detailing shift here at BYOB&CBD world headquarters. Really Inga's English-speaking abilities are not that great so that is kind of out also. I'm really thinking of hiring the homeless guy out front and giving him a cardboard sign. ANYTHING HELPS, CONSIDERING A LEASE? GO WITH BYOB&CBD, GOD BLESS.

    Never noticed that about Inga, but then, we didn't talk much. Just said YAH! a lot.
