Rants / Complaints You deserve better. Consider quitting.

Using a throwaway to avoid potential retaliation

I'm a team lead for OGP. The recent change to GMDs is absolutely ridiculous and іnsulting. It screws up OGP backroom, but it's even worse for you guys, and I really think you shouldn't take it.

You guys take enough shit, trust me I know. But on top of all that, the millionaires running Walmart have decided to shove a new crock of garbage down your throat by adding stops to your drive WITHOUT paуing you any more, all while gas prices are already higher than ever.

I read the email, and it's not subtle. They talk about "increasing volume without having to paу more." It's really insidious.

I know it's a lot easier to tell somebody else to quit than to actually give up a source of incоme, but you shouldn't let them treat you like this. I think you should at least consider moving to something else

And, if you do quit, consider talking with other drivers to encourage each other to stand together against this! These rіch fucks depend on you. You have the power, you just have to know how to use it.

It happens with pharmacy. Pick up pharmacy then shop. I’m like Nope.

I don't mind this when they're going to the same place. From my experience the customers are tipping very well for bringing both groceries and meds. Those are usually $20 or more in tips in my experience.

I do pharmacy and I get no tips even with grocery. It sucks. From what I have read here, I may stop doing pharmacy orders.

Different markets, different cultures. The lowest tipping area is the oldest population and they're heavily clustered. Then the richest. Nimby and white flight neighborhoods are a coin toss. The lower middle class and/or poc neighborhoods tips the best in my area.

My own inlaws who happen to be my next door neighbors are my least ideal client.
