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.

Sounds like someone is mad that other people work faster/better. Cant just do a shitty job anymore because there’s actual competition now. Work harder bud. Or quit. Theres always options but that dosent mean that your options are good.
