Cart accident
Permalink   


So yesterday I accidentally bumped a customer with a cart because it got loose off the front of my line as I was bringing them into the lobby.

I saw the guy walking into my path, so I tried to turn to avoid him but he still walked directly in front of me, the cart went loose during the turn and I couldn't get up there in time as I was still turning the line and wouldn't of made it in time, and swung off and rolled into him lightly. Customer didn't seem happy and he stared at me, I apologized to him and asked if he wanted my supervisor. He simply angrily told me he wants my name. I gave it and asked again if he would want to talk to my supervisor while he simply walked away without a word and went in. I told my CSR and Service Desk person immediately and they both told me it was an accident and that if he came to complain, they would tell him what I told them. Also reported it to my Night Lead / MOD and he told me it was an accident and that if he called to complain to him, he'd tell the customer just that. 

We cannot use cart straps any longer after one of our younger UCs accidentally brained himself with the store's leather one and got hurt (which I had made multiple suggestions to supervisors and management to remove it from use and replace it as it was a hazard if it was to fly back at you, and to replace it with a bungee type strap like what I use.) My train was my normal amount we are allowed to haul 7-8 total no more. I just hate feeling like I'm going to get in trouble cause of this, as I am always trying to be safe on lot and around customers at all times when hauling or pushing / pulling anything in or outside of the store.

Customers like that deserve far more than to be "accidentally bumped".

Far. More.

I wouldn't worry about it, though. You told several people above you what happened, and so now, you're side of what happened is out there. That was the right and smart thing to do. The more time goes by without hearing anything more about what happened, the less likely you are to hear anything more about what happened.

wow that customer needs to get off their high horse. also, they need to open their ears. if you can't hear the rattling of a cart line making it's way for you, you need a hearing aid.

I wouldn't worry, you told the appropriate people. I question why your not using the company approved cart straps, which is the "Safety Rope" (c3llc.com/). Your FES/CSM/Store Management is able to order this in their Peyton Front End supply guide. (This has been the GO approved Cart Strap for years, replaced one that was yellow/black fabric with Velcro)

 We are a recent (less then a year) buyout from Krog who bought our Company (Roundys) out and merged. So we are not quite transitioned fully yet. Our stores are going through remodels right now though, so by the next few months, maybe we'll get them. Our cart straps were recently a no go after a younger UC brained themselves with the stores one (a leather one for pete sake which i always avoided and used my own I bought for a buck or two) n got injured. After that our HR manager (Service Ops Manager) forbade them from use.
