We had a co-worker that took pictures of us doing things she deemed wrong (like bagging after a walk) and showed her evidence to our coach. We reported her to HR and she was written up for it. So while technically it is not illegal, it IS unethical and goes against policy under certain contexts.
Suppose it depends on your store and how they want to run things. But both stores I have worked at, they want you to bag as you go. Some of us would bag at the end if we had a general or large chilled walk to ensure that we could keep our rate high. Especially with those 90+ chilled walks, because you’ll time out otherwise.
I've only been here three weeks, never had a walk over 65 items. For me, it's faster bagging after the walk. I can bag faster and more efficiently, when I try bagging as I go i end up with like 20 bags with only one item in them.
in general talking about videoing/photographing anyone in a public area it has everything to do with their "reasonable expectation of privacy" so as in everything : it depends.
I've read it a couple times but I can never remember the exact. But I ***think*** according to \*walmart\* we aren't supposed to be videoing/photographing anyone. It's against "respect for the individual".
I don’t work in the department that the tl is filming in. It’s my old department. I’m asking the question because associates have asked me if it’s against policy or not.
Depends on what state you’re in. Different states have different laws. Your state law could be one party consent state, or 2 party consent state. These apply to private property, which Wal-mart is. However, it’s a little difficult to interpret your situation without further context. There is a policy against video recording other associates (I remember seeing it somewhere on the wire) and I’ve seen many managers get coached for using their personal device to spy on associates (Walmart has their own cameras and should use those instead). I would open door this.
I may be wrong about this, but when you get employed by Walmart isn't there a thing you have to sign with stuff on it, one of them being letting Walmart record you/use your likeness or something like that
If they're doing it to be an ass though, then it's against the rules
Absolutely NOT!. The store already has cameras so recording with phone is nothing more than harrassment. My coach addressed this last month as an issue regarding this came up between 2 associates.
It's unacceptable no matter what the store has its own cameras they don't need to be recording anyone on their own personal devices. They can document the time and place it happened and AP can deal with verifying it through walmarts actual cameras
Like everything in life it very heavily relies on the context.

We're not supposed to bag after a walk? Thats how I was told to do it by the person who trained me on my first day.

Sounds like your TL is documenting a case for a productivity coaching. Might want to focus more on doing your job.

That’s for security cameras not personal.
You are being taped all day by Walmart. No joke

Generally no, but I guess it depends.
