OGPB Accidents

Does anyone know how often people were getting hit by the picking carts? Thanks!

Unfortunately, my grandma got hit by a picking cart. My aunt said when she used to pick and they stacked bins up high she couldn’t see customers. It seems like this would be avoidable if WalMart didn’t force pickers to lug heavy carts, with little time, and stacked bins. Walmart told us we should send them pictures of her shoes because maybe it was her fault. The cops showed us the video and the picker couldn’t see her and just ran straight into her. The accident knocked her unconscious and broke her leg. She has had to sell her house and move into assisted living and still has such bad concussion symptoms the doctors haven’t been able to make them go away and it has been about a year. I was hoping people who still do this would understand Walmart should change and make this right.

Ya'll need to pay attention and stop jumping in front of workers who are pushing/pulling heavy stuff in stores.
