“The moral test of a government is how it treats those who are at the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadow of life, the sick and the needy, and the handicapped.” – Hubert Humphrey

First, Walgreens cannot legally make employees do deliveries after hours nor force the employees to use their own vehicles. Your auto insurance will not cover you if you are using your car to make deliveries on a job. This sort of thing is suppose to be covered by the employers insurance. Wal-Mart had this bright idea one time and I worked at a test store. I would not send employees on deliveries. A lot of them were to the ‘shady’ side of the town. And, I had reservations about employees delivering in their own vehicles. This little project by Wal-Mart did not last long.

I had a job once… and they wanted the techs to start making some deliveries “on the way home”.. using their car… I told them my staff was not going to work off the clock and that their personal car insurance would be cancelled if they were making “commercial runs”.. I got down to arguing with HR about their job description and the “includes but not limited to”… until I said that does not mean using their cars for company business.. especially when they didn’t want to.. Of course, I got fired a few days later for insubordination. I had already written my two week notice.. just had not turned it in yet… and even though I was fired for insubordination.. they offered me FOUR WEEKS PAY if I would sign an agreement not to sue them and told me that I had to sign the agreement and not read it.. Left it lying on the counter and later found out that by FEDERAL LAW employees have 24 hr to read such unless you are over 50 – which I was – then I was entitled 21 days to review it. Why they believed that I was stupid enough to sign something I had not read when I had already called them on other laws they wanted me to break…
Store is closing and everything is being moved to another Walgreens store 2.8miles away and Walgreen employees will deliver meds to patients without transportation. Exactly what does that mean? Does Walgreen deliver? Does Walgreen have autos specifically for delivery?
