Utah Sues Walmart and Wins

Utah and other states sued Walmart for misleading its delivery drivers about pay, and deceiving customers about tips going 100% to the drivers.

According to ABC4: (LINK TO FULL ARTICLE)

"Walmart’s Spark Driver Program started in 2018 and allows customers to order products from Walmart for home delivery. Spark Drivers then pick up and deliver those products. According to DPC, the app allows drivers to see base pay and any pre-determined tips before accepting a delivery.

However, Walmart has allegedly been misrepresenting pre-tip amounts, base pay, and incentive pay to drivers by splitting or changing orders after the driver accepts the offer. They have also allegedly failed to disclose full requirements for incentive pay and falsely deceived customers into thinking their full tip would go to the driver."

Utah's Legal Win: A Small Price for Justice

Utah is going to get a little over $500K in the suit.

This is really gonna show Walmart. They've got $100 million in the couch.

Sam Walton's sitting there in his mansion going: "back up the truck!"

Anyway, but this is a big deal.

These Walmart drivers are the salt of the earth. Really. They've never done anything wrong themselves.

Half the time I get my Cheetos and half the bag is missing.

But no, no let's roll over for them. Like they're not choosing the brownest bananas? Look, they deserve the cash, but let's not act like they don't have some blood on their hands too. I mean an onion with a bite out of it? Let's be real here.

I'm glad Wally is having to spit out some cash though. Now my Fudge Stripes are gonna go up 17%. But good, good, let's give these employees more dough.
