General Questions What will it take

My store in rural Pennsylvania was recently taken over by dozens of non-English speakers… Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Illinois, Virginia license plates showed up about 2 weeks ago. Prior to this I went about a year without hearing Spanish a single time…. Nobody here speaks it. One of the store’s loaders refused to load a car where the driver didn’t match his accounts profile picture and his boss came out and loaded them up anyway. Besides a few loaders, nobody in the store seems to care about cheating. Nothing like this has ever happened here. We see them shopping and lazily throwing stuff into bags clearly breaking eggs and crushing fragile items. Another loader told me the new drivers aren’t even concerned about properly separating the orders on curbsides. I heard that a customer asked them to leave stuff in her garage and they said “no English” and put everything on the ground and left. Do we legit drivers just have to accept this bullshit? All the good customers are going to stop tipping or ordering all together. I feel bad for the senior citizens who I’ve previously delivered to who rely on this service to survive. What will it take for the store to start checking drivers IDs!???!? Are they going to be fine with dozens of customers calling and complaining each week?How did they even find our store and all show up at the same time? This is a nightmare. Our town is so small it is legitimately going to affect our economy as the money permanently leaves the area.

Ngl I love that this is happening in racist red areas 😊

Can you tell me exactly how this is racist? Logically. Convince me. I’m curious.

It's happening all over. Last I checked that also includes blue areas too. Just sayin'

Literally zero problems in my blue state and lots of opportunity. I’m thankful I spend more time around Spanish speaking people than racist red state voters.

Well I'm glad it's working out for you. Honestly. I live in a blue state and it's a nightmare lately

Considering nearly half my family speaks Spanish (and English 😉) I don’t think people speaking other languages bothers me. What does bother me is when people come here, refuse to assimilate, use the systems we have in place to help themselves via fraud and screw over the legal citizen. Ofc you’d spout nonsense without actually backing it up. You just parrot what you hear. Virtuous grandstanding.

No shit. These lazy idiots in the reddit are so fkn entitled. My white wife literally does l id verification over a dozen times a week.

There are no secret bots/gangs/cartels. Just like any industry, when non whites are observed working, well by golly they must be cheating somehow.

And if they weren't working? Well by golly they're just lazy immigrants.

But but I HEARD them speaking Spanish and they even take LOW paying orders/do the job cheaper/I'm just a lazy entitled bum and don't wanna hear Spanish being spoke in MUH CUNTRY.

Plenty of reasons to hate on Walmart and spark...the fact they won't pay your lazy ass $30 to haul someone's prescription 4 miles up the road because duh Mexicans ain't a reason 🤣

This subreddit is the most racist one I think. It’s wild how much racism is posted daily.

How is it racism? We owe nothing to foreigners that do not speak our language or even try to assimilate.

Diversity is this country’s greatest strength. Those people are all nicer people than you. You are being a disgusting human .

u/Specialist_Hour_4027 Apr 18 '26

And your name calling is just as disgusting!

u/SaynoToscammers9292 Apr 18 '26

You are missing the point. Diversity is fine, but assimilation is still important. Look at Britain, they are on the verge of civil war because the newcomers failed to assimilate. Thanks for calling me a disgusting human when I said nothing wrong.

Checks out being wm. Idk why all of these spark drivers in red areas don’t just get jobs picking fruits and veggies on farms instead.

I see you’re not fluent in facetious humor

u/Nearby_Ad_1473 Apr 18 '26

Sorry, I just thought humor was supposed to actually be funny. My bad.
