Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27.5M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469. Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by. It's past time Walmart paid them a living wage.

So Safeway tried this "Superior Service with a Smile policy" like what Target is trying back in the 90s women employees were harassed so much some hid in the back trying to get away from male customers. Sometimes the dudes followed the employees to their car after their shifts. Sounds super safe.
Safeway Clerks Say Service-With- Smile Rule Gives Some Wrong Idea

Sep 3, 1998

Kim Curtis

The AP

MARTINEZ, Calif. - Safeway's "superior customer service" program requires all employees to smile, greet and make eye contact with every customer who walks in.

Many customers say they shop at Safeway because they're treated well.

"They always offer to help with my groceries. They know exactly where everything is," said Julianne George, a music teacher who shops at a Safeway in Martinez. "They're concerned that you have the best possible shopping experience."

But that experience has turned into a nightmare for some workers at the Pleasanton, Calif.-based grocery store chain.But that experience has turned into a nightmare for some workers at the Pleasanton, Calif.-based grocery store chain.

Richelle Roberts, a produce clerk at a Lafayette, Calif., store, said she's propositioned daily by men who mistake her company-mandated friendliness as flirtatiousness.

"This never used to happen to me until I had to open the door," she said. "It just takes away our rights. A woman knows where and when not to open that door for certain men."

A produce worker at a Pleasant Hill, Calif., store said she has hidden in a back room to avoid customers who have to repeatedly propositioned her and followed her to her car.

Barbara Carpenter, president of United Food and Commercial Workers' Local 1179, said, "The union wants a non-hostile environment and `superior customer service,' as it stands today, jeopardizes the

safety of our members."
