If it’s anything like where I work, you’ll be fine. The facilities are slow right now, even though peak is literally starting next week. You’ll be expected to do a lot of walking (5+ miles per shift) while working, so have good safety shoes.

Will they let me wear crocs?

I have foot issues, one foot is swollen up twice the size of the other and crocs are the only shoes I can find that will fit the bad one right now.

I already walk (hobble, lol) 10+ miles on my day job now so 5 more probably won't kill me.

You will find out for sure at your onboarding on Friday, but I am gonna have to say no, they are going to require safety shoes for warehouse work and crocs won't even come close to qualifying.

Well THAT sucks! The union steward at my main job gave me grief too but when I said I'd have to quit if I couldn't wear shoes that were comfortable, they decided crocs were OK, lol. (They were shorthanded enough they didn't want to lose me. I doubt Amazon would care though.)

Well, if the job doesn't pan out, I'll go back to housecleaning I guess. Anyone need a cleaner?!

Crocs are a no go.

Yeah, I got a message saying I'll have to order safety shoes after my onboarding meeting tomorrow.

Well, I'll give it a shot and see if they're comfortable. If not, I can always find something else to do!
