When a coworker is not following Wegmans policies, which sequence of actions is recommended?

• A. Publicly confront them and escalate to a supervisor
• B. Address calmly if appropriate, document the issue, and report to a supervisor
• C. Ignore and continue working
• D. Discuss with coworkers and let them handle it

Answer: (B)

Approach the situation with respect and responsibility: first, talk to the coworker privately and calmly if it seems appropriate to give them a chance to correct the behavior. If the issue continues or is serious, document what happened with specifics—dates, times, exactly what policy was involved, and any witnesses. Then bring this documented information to a supervisor or the proper channel so the organization can handle it consistently and fairly. This sequence supports open communication, creates a factual record, and ensures proper enforcement, while avoiding public confrontation, gossip, or ignoring the problem.
