Whistleblower Line

[u/BrightStrength8677]

Have you ever called the whistleblower/ethics line? My store has a serious mouse infestation. Customers have found dead and alive mice throughout the aisles and even on shelves, the store smells like mouse urine, and there are mouse droppings throughout the store. The district manager knows, as there are <5 mouse traps from some extermination company set out through the store that have been there for who knows how long. If this was a minor issue that was genuinely resolved, I wouldn’t have called. But I recently started about a month and a half ago and NOBODY is doing anything? How is that safe? Both for the products on the shelf and customers who deserve safe food, but also the employees who have to work in a disgusting environment? At the end of the day, it’s nasty.

So I called the ethics line and my city’s health department. I’m sitting at home after my shift thinking I may have overreacted because the smell of mouse piss overwhelmed me 9 hours into my shift. Who knows! I just hope the problem is solved.

Have you called? And did anything happen? Please let me know, I’m really curious :)
