Black Uber driver challenges Walmart’s alleged car-inspection, then says she was treated like criminal as staff refused to release her order: ‘racist’

Police were called after the confrontation escalated

A Walmart Spark/Uber pickup at a Morris store turned into a recorded confrontation after a driver said a store worker searched her vehicle and then pulled her orders. Mrs. Vickkie Lee, who posts on TikTok as @imakeeverythingaboutrace, shared the clip, which she said had drawn 121,900 views.

On-screen text in that video stated, “All because I asked her why she was searching my car?? She called me argumentative, took the order back, then refused to get a supervisor.” The footage shows a woman in a yellow-green vest pulling a cart of blue bins as shouting starts off-camera.

She can be heard yelling, “F–k you, you white b–ch! You trying to abuse your white f–king privilege?” She later shouted, “Stupid-a– racist white b–ch! She old!” and “Close the door, you big-a– cannibal!” A male associate is then seen loading bins into a different white car. She asked him, “Do you guys typically do that?” He answered, “Yes, ma’am.” She asked why that car was not inspected the same way. He replied that he was “not fully scanning it out.”

Driver describes denied bags, a scuffle, and police calling her the aggressor

In a later story-time TikTok video, she explained that she had pulled up for three Uber orders, given the code, and watched the worker open doors and look inside. She claimed she was not “obliged” to the search because her doors were already open, but that the worker “stuck her head in there and started looking around.”

Replying to @✨*{ẞÏG}*✨*{PǓRRR}*✨ mind you, the Walmart associate said it was in their policy to inspect our vehicles before they give us an order .. uber says they don’t have a policy or a contract with Walmart stating that … & walmart corporate has yet to follow up.. uber did an investigation and gave my account back tho 💯 #walmart #uber #fyp #racialprofiling #morrisillinois

She recounted asking whether they had to search cars. She said the worker answered yes. She asked when that started. According to her account, the associate replied that she had worked there two years and had never seen her before. She added that she had driven Uber for three years and had never had her car searched there. Such disputes over vehicle inspections have occurred at other retailers, like when a South Carolina woman pulled up for a Sam’s Club pickup order, and staff damaged her car.

She claimed the worker then called it policy and said that because she wanted to be argumentative, she would not give her the order. In that follow-up, she stated the denial “did not sit right with me” and that the worker was “using her white privilege to deny me my motherfucking money for the day.”

She described trying to take the bags from the cart and said the employee “started pushing me and all that type of s–t.” She maintained they “scuffled for a little bit before I started recording.” For Walmart, customer service disputes have also involved long waits, as a Tennessee woman waited two hours for her pickup order only to be cursed at and told to get a job.

She told viewers Uber said it does not have a policy or contract with Walmart requiring vehicle inspections. She claimed Walmart told her staff only have to look to see if there is enough room for the order, “in which IT WAS.” She added that store corporate had not followed up with her at the time she posted.

She described police being called and a sergeant telling her she was “problematic” and “the aggressor because of what I said to her when the video first started, which was f–k you, white b–ch.” She insisted officers stated those words made her the aggressor. She claimed she told them she had freedom of speech as an American citizen, that charges were not filed, and that she still planned to pursue action against Walmart.

Viewers asked what staff were looking for during a car check and what happened before the camera started. One commenter wrote, “But inspect the car for what tho? What are they looking for.” Another asked, “What happened before you started recording?”

Some commenters sided with the store. One wrote, “The customers are ALWAYS WRONG.” Another said, “I have family that works at Walmart if your car is trashed or smells bad or like weed they won’t put your order in your vehicle, they’re supposed to do this with every vehicle.”

A further commenter wrote, “if you nasty then I dont want you delivering my order. employee stood her ground. Good.”
