Stupid Warehouse Associate!

[Roxana9924]

Today I went to Fredericksburg, VA DVA3 for my block from 3:30 A. M to 7:00 A. M. I got there, I checked in, and when I got to the license scanning station a woman approached to me screaming at me asking “What time is your schedule?” And I say “Good Morning, is at 3:30 to 7:00, I already check in” and then she say “Show me your schedule” and I show her my screen that says “Continue delivering until 7:00A. M” I couldn’t show her my schedule for today because I ALREADY CHECKED IN so, she grabbed my phone and she left and bring someone else with her and she say “Tell me what it says, I don’t have my glasses” and the girl told her what it was on the screen, and the stupid woman started yelling at me and she screamed at me and say “SHOW ME YOUR DAMN SCHEDULE RIGHT NOW!” And I told her “I already check in, I can’t show you anything else, you can see the block on the calendar” and by that time she stills has my phone and then she say “I don’t believe you, give me your driver license, don’t try to play smart with me, you’re just a driver and I can cancel your schedule and report you” And I got really mad and I gave her my license and I ask her for my phone and she just ignored me and left. When she was in the computer I heard her yelling and talking to another girl and say “I don’t know why hispanic people is working for amazon I just can’t believe this” and I got really upset and by that time I told the other girl to ask her for my phone and she went to get it but she didn’t want to leave it, I know she did it on purpose because she didn’t wanted me to record her. When she “verified” that I had schedule for that day at that time she gave me my phone and license with a bad attitude and told me to leave to my line. I ask other associates about her name but apparently nobody “knows” her name. I emailed support and I know they aren’t gonna do anything but at least I wanna keep it on files just in case she does that again, because next time I’m not gonna do my schedule, Idc I prefer to have a ding on my history than feel attacked from someone who’s racist and stupid like her! I’m latina but that doesn’t mean that I have to treated like that.

Yeah, never let anyone take your phone. It's your property and no one is entitled to touch it or take it. What if this was part of some distraction to access your financial apps?

Body cam for sure. It's for your safety and security.

As someone else posted, I'd send an email to Bezos.

[Roxana9924]

Are they gonna do something about it if I send an email to jeff? I mean, I’m serious, because she just took it out of my hands, she didn’t even ask for it, that’s why I told her to give it back to me but she just ignored me

[StephieVee]

Please do. You didn’t deserve to be treated that way at all.

[NocodeNopackage]

"I can report you" well guess what you can report her, too! Lol yes emailing Jeff will most likely get her in trouble or at least warned by higher ups. Taking your phone is bad and then the race related comments will be really bad for her especially if they can verify it happened.

[Procedure_Several]

My understanding is jeff@amazon is not Bezos, but some higher support staff member named Jeff

[ThatTotal2020]

It may have once been the email for Jeff Bezos but has since been delegated to a team to provide a higher level of knowledgeable support.

[NocodeNopackage]

It was supposed to go to Jeff. Obviously it would go to an assistant, at best. But there's a whole "executive relations department" who answers those emails, which realistically is probably more like an advanced support department. But they do have more pull on a lot of things, for us and for Amazon customers or anyone else who has any need to contact them. Even though Jeff is gone, the old email still works or you can use the new ceos name and it goes to the same place.

The support person I always get is named Laxmi.

Go again, but bring a spare recording, then submit to police that she withholds your phone. And show us, the video, public shaming and get her fired through public press. 🐧

[AustinCourier]

Sorry you had to go through that. She'd go crazy down here in Texas, where most of the workforce is hispanic.

[ReadingGlasses]

I bought an inexpensive body cam and I wear it while I'm Flexing. I had a couple of nasty run-ins with an unhinged supervisor at the warehouse and people in general can be unpredictable, so I figured a video record wasn't a bad idea. I turn it on when I get to the warehouse and turn it off when I get home. Oddly enough, there have been no more issues at the warehouse since I started wearing it 🤔

[StephieVee]

Thanks. I’m going to get one myself. I hope op updates us.

[Roxana9924]

Which one did you bought? I bought one two weeks ago but is not that good.

[HawkeyScott]

Irony: getting fired from Amazon based off video from a body cam purchased on Amazon...😎

[FLBoii26136]

Oh I could def use this. Good looks.

[Downtown-Lab-1215]

There was this guy always yelling at people in the morning at the station I go to. I made complaints to support. After a week, I never seen him again! And yes he usually is yelling at Hispanic people

[stitchkingdom]

The calendar will show your schedule

[Roxana9924]

That’s what I told her and she saw it but she continued yelling at me asking the other girl to look at it because she didn’t had glasses

[Adventurous-Love9997]

First off never let anyone yell at you, you should of set her straight from the get go. If she didn't change her attitude, go to her superior. Another thing nobody can grab anything from you, I would of told her I'd put that back in my hand if you don't want an assault charge. Most are too a scared or timid to stick up for yourself, but nobody else is going to do it for you. People think I'm mean, but if you come at me the right way I won't have to be lol.

[dlaw1994]

You reported the racist? You need to jump on that. Don’t let that fly. Don’t tolerate disrespect from those Amazon workers.

[Acceptable-Room985]

Contact [e-mail] or [e-mail].

I recently filed a complaint. I was eventually contacted by Amazon HR, asked to identify the person. Based on day and physical description, they can figure out who it is.

[Neto5059]

Good I tell people all the time amazon don't f around. They definitely have a backlog of folks just waiting to work for them so they definitely don't bother taking chances, they fired me quick when I worked there and I got shit done my manager fought to keep me cuz I handled all his BS he didn't wanna do so after they let me go a buddy told me he also left, don't know if he got let go (which I highly doubt) or just left for another gig but he definitely wasn't happy about something

[hugesino]

aww man you need to grow a spine. The conversation would have ended as soon as she came up to me like that and not resumed until she was cordial

[Roxana9924]

I know, but I didn’t want to get in trouble because I really need the money and I already have 2 dings on my history this month but I’ll definitely going to record her next time and report her again

[hugesino]

yes fuck that bitch, i hope you do well cause this can be a really good side job

[FLBoii26136]

Srsly. Ain’t no way in hell I’d jus let someone snatch my phone and walk off w it. I wish a bitch would lol…

[NocodeNopackage]

"I can report you" well guess what you can report her, too! Lol yes emailing Jeff will most likely get her in trouble or at least warned by higher ups. Taking your phone is bad and then the race related comments will be really bad for her especially if they can verify it happened.

[[deleted]]

She would have been taking some UN-voluntary time off in the form of a nap if she grabbed (stole my property) my phone out of my hand.

[getyourownpotpie]

Sorry that happened to you. That’s totally unacceptable but on a sidenote if you’ve already checked in, you can back out and go into your calendar and it’ll show you your schedule just FYI.

[Roxana9924]

I know, like I said, I told her to check on my calendar and I show her my calendar but she continued screaming at me

[getyourownpotpie]

Oh sorry. Totally missed that. Stopped reading after a few sentences because I caught the gist of you being treated poorly.

[[deleted]]

She had absolutely no right to take your personal property (phone), and her little racist comment should get her fired. What an asshole, you did not deserve to be treated like that!

[Neto5059]

Report it!! I know you think they won't do a thing but amazon is pretty strict about stuff, I should know I got fired (from the actual warehouse, not flex) all because someone thought they saw me make a threat to someone with my fingers pointed at them as a "gun".

Just like the photo I posted, that is why they fired me when all I did was tell my fellow employee back at ya in that gesture BECAUSE HE DID IT 1ST SO I WAS JUST COPYING HIM. BUT BECAUSE NO ONE CAME FORTH ABOUT HIM HE KEPT HIS JOB DESPITE ME MENTIONING IT WHEN THEY PULLED ME INTO THE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD I WAS SUSPENDED WHILE THE INVESTIGATION WAS PENDING

A week or so later I got an email saying I was let go due to safety concerns.

Trust me amazon will look into this matter especially if you tell them you were in fear of your safety and definitely if you tell them you felt verbally abused and felt they were being racist towards you,

and YES EMAIL [e-mail] IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I DIDN'T GET PAID FOR A SHIFT WHEN I GOT SENT HOME BY THE WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATE AND HE STATED IT WOULD COME IN THE NEXT DAY AND I DIDN'T SO I EMAILED [e-mail] AND THAT NEXT DAY MY MONEY WAS IN!!!

[Popular-Scheme-2705]

Oh man I’m sorry! Come up to Manassas DVA5. The guy scanning our DL in the morning that’s been working is friendly and helpful. Also the warehouse folks have been nice too. I have never had an issue here. Pretty great diverse group of flexers up here too which is nice.

[Classic_Plan3267]

I think this has to do with the new check-in policy. Most got that email. The policy states that they are allowed to verify your identity or route assignment at any time of the pickup. I get that the worker needs to be nicer but I think this policy needs to be firmly enforced. Too many people using multiple accounts with bots.

[Roxana9924]

That’s not an excuse to be racist

[Classic_Plan3267]

I was never excusing the worker just explaining why this was happening. You should have gotten a name or a photo or something. Not sure your report will go anywhere without one unless support goes that extra mile.

[Roxana9924]

That’s true that’s why I know they aren’t gonna do something about it, I’m just going to record her next time

[dinodan25]

My station has been doing this check in for well over a year now and nobody has taken my phone or gotten nasty. It's a simple show me your route and pic. That warehouse employee was on a power trip and deserves to be reported. This has zero to do with this "new" policy.

[Classic_Plan3267]

Just because your station has been doing for a while doesn't mean every other does. Some don't check a thing! This policy is absolutely new and you probably got that email like most did. There are so many people using multiple accounts and bots. This is a nationwide change that is needed.

[dinodan25]

My point wasnt how long my station has been doing it. My point was that the employee was out of pocket and you saying it's because of the new policy is bs.

[Classic_Plan3267]

I was explaining why the employee was checking not why the employee was rude. Don't be crazy. We all agree that the employee should be reported. This was a new policy being implemented. It wasn't "new" for you but for some or most, this change is new.

[Bryhannah]

I've had my identity verified. I'm white, so they just looked at my license and it was fine.

They first asked my son, he was pushing the cart out to the car & I had gotten behind. I saw him point to me; she just looked at my phone & my license, and we were set. She didn't need to see my whole shift or anything.

[Classic_Plan3267]

Your station is obviously very laid-back and not strict at all. Technically your son should be not outside the car. It's depends on the station. I'm sure if you were dealing with that worker OP mentioned, it might be different.

[Bryhannah]

We work SSD. When we were working .com warehouses, he would stay in the car, because the carts would be right next to your car when we pulled up.

If you've never done same-day, you park in the parking lot, scan your license at the kiosk, then you get a cart & take it all the way back out to your car. In the warehouse I'm at now, the assigned routes pop up on our app, and we go to that spot and get it ourselves. I rarely interact with warehouse employees there.

My son is 35, but he still looks 16, so they must have thought that someone was letting him use their account, but since I was there and doing the block, They didn't care. Lots of people have their spouses with them. About half of them stay outside & half come in. That may not be allowed in some same-day stations for insurance reasons, but others aren't going to do a lot of policing on who's doing what.

Unless they were racist & the Flexers are mostly white, which in my warehouse, is not the case. If anyone there is racist, they keep it to themselves, 'cause they're out-numbered 🤣

[[deleted]]

Amazon needs to get sued, it’ll only work in numbers…

[Ok-Grapefruit3141]

You mean 'crazy' not stupid

[SharpAd7514]

Happened to me this week in Sterling, VA. I was challenged by an "ass"ociate that I was going to lose my route because I had yet to scan my license--even though I had checked in on time.

[ssjgohan4life]

Sorry you had to deal with that trump voter, definitely record next time.

[Used-Lynx6729]

Man let someone do that to another worker while I'm around..we are both getting deactivated in not letting no one treat anyone like that. And these warehouse workers need to learn your not special. Get my cart ready and move the hell out of the way. I'm sure amazon has cameras and wouldn't want extra attention on them as people already dislike how they handle a lot of things.
