Please document this in writing today. Tell your GM/franchise owner that the drive pay window is reaching 105, there’s no AC vent, hot car air is blowing directly on you, and you have a history of heatstroke. Ask for a safer station, rotation, cooling fan/portable AC, and water/rest breaks. If they ignore it, contact OSHA. If you feel confused, faint, dizzy, nauseous, or like you’re overheating, leave the station and get medical help immediately. Heatstroke is not something to tough out.
Sounds like a plan. GM doesn't care at all.
They don’t care sadly at all I work outside in construction so I get the heat issue but sadly they don’t care at all
You should look at the paperwork on the wall and find contacts and contact. Either the franchise owner or Corp.
This sounds like a terrible work environment. I would look into the local ordinances to understand if this is a workplace violation. What you can do in the meantime is get some personal cooling equipment. So things like ice pack headbands, liquid iv to stay hydrated, etc.
How do I go about doing that? Where can I go?
As a former OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officer (inspector), I can tell you that OSHA does take heat-related hazards seriously. Document your concerns in writing to your manager or franchise owner, including the temperatures, lack of cooling, and your history of heatstroke. Ask for reasonable accommodations such as rotation, cooling measures, and additional water/rest breaks. If the hazard isn't addressed and you're being exposed to unsafe conditions, you should consider contacting OSHA. Your health comes first; if you start experiencing symptoms of heat illness, leave the area and seek medical attention immediately.
