I’m likely going to be starting as a driver with Walmart soon.
Is it true that Walmart has continual, mandatory safety meetings that all drivers are required to attend….
and each and every meeting starts, and ends with everyone present clapping their hands, stomping their feet, and singing some type of song of allegience to Walmart?
I have heard from several drivers this is common practice at the Lewiston, Maine Walmart DC.
The Walmart Cheer!

Reminds me of a magazine crew I worked when I was 18. Stomp your feet and get pumped up to go rip people off app day and do drugs all night. After two weeks move on to another city. Good times for a degenerate teen with no clue.

Not sure about the "Cheer" anymore, our Walmart has morning motivational meetings, but I don't recall hearing them chant anymore. Like the "greeter", has gone the way of common sense too. Not needed, people are going to come in anyway, and the chant is considered demeaning. Good for military or institutions, but it's designed to parlay the ego for a more team spirit. I believe it was motivational tactic started by Sam Walton himself. He never flew and made spot checks in his Thunderbird(?) to check on his stores unannounced.
As far as a driver having to do the chant, I don't think so, nice try boss, but you may have to wait until their "meeting" is over. All bigger companies have meetings, safety meetings they call them, propagated by their insurance, so get used to that, but you wouldn't catch me doing that silly crap.Flat Earth Trucker and Numb Thank this. -
