Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

Produce Queen said:
Need to rant about the FDC trucks. So I work the truck 1 day a week. Why in the hell are there no lights in the trailers? I'm unloading in near darkness on ice slicked floors. Seems nuts to me. Today a pallet was tipped sideways, (straps please!) and I had to climb on top of it and hand boxes to another TM while the driver held my phone w/ the flashlight app on. Seems like an accident waiting to happen.
Never a dull moment.
Rant over :cool:

Do you not have a light and fan on a metal arm than can be positioned to shine in the trailers? I know each of our bays does, for all its worth. I normally end up using my phone for light if I have to go in and temp stuff, cause we're the last delivery on our route so its way against the cab of the trailer.

We do have the light but it's burnt out half the time and honestly the illumination doesn't reach very far into the trailer.
 
Well today was interesting. MyDevices weren't working, and I couldn't get a hold of a PDA until after 11. So I couldn't check the counts / on-hands on the sales floor to prepare for the order. I had to rush to finish SDA before noon -- didn't help that I had 25 items to check (of course). :rolleyes: Then I had to do the order. Then I had to process QMOS which had been building up because I couldn't process them as I found them (no working equipment). Then I had to spend an hour processing it as compost. Fun times. :p

Did they finally resolve the MyDevice issue? It was still down as I clocked out at 1:45pm...

Hey, guest service! Can I borrow your PDA, please?
 
Got sixty cases of stone fruit today. That was nice. If only it would have been done immediately after setting the pog, and not four weeks later with a barely covered table.

Anyone have their 4'th displays out, yet?
 
Does anyone else have to build that giant flag display in the entrance? Plus all the other junk corporate wants in front of the door.. 1 pallet for each softdrink vendor (P/C/7), Frito gets a double wide, 5teir shipper, A beer pallet, and a pallet of RWB M&Ms. I just want mini to reset so I can stop spending so much time in there. For a while anyway.
 
Does anyone know about the FDC trucks on the 4th weekend. We usually get a truck both sat and sun I didn't see anything on redwire but I probably missed it In the passed they have screwed with the deliveries cause of holidays.

I assume that we will probably get a truck on Sat and Monday. ?? but it could be Friday and Monday. They really need to know cause they have scheduled TMs as normal and that wont happen.

Damn management doesn't know shit.

That's why my pfresh inventory this past Monday was done without notice, they only realized that it needed done on either Sat or Sunday. I did the whole backroom tinv on the mydevice by myself and i was the closing PA. The ETL and Starbucks TM did the pfresh salsefloor inventory as i left at closing, cause i was scheduled to come in to open 8 hours later.

Find out who your market leader is for the area, For me Coke is the one who will have to build it as far as redwire is concerned. There is a tool floating around that will tell you who yours is.

We got 6 pallets of Coke and 1 pallet each of Pepsi and Dr. Pepper.

The Coke guy set his up across 2 of our black pallets. It's 4 feet tall and then about 3 cases deep at the back go up to 8 or 9 feet tall.

Just waiting for someone to play jenga with it...
 
I have a question. If you're working with food and your hair is past your shoulders, it's supposed to be in a ponytail or something right? This is what I recall from training 3 yrs ago.
 
There's a new girl with hair halfway down her back that she wears down. I mentioned it to my ETL but....crickets.
As far as jewelry, does facial piercings fall into that category? I think it's just watches, rings and bracelets.
 
Most food safety practices are ignored. Hats? Ignored. Gloves? Ignored many times. Come in sick? Sure. Jewelry? Ignored. The women complain about their rings being difficult to get on and off. I wear a watch. Without a watch, I'll be constantly checking my phone for the time because my tasks are very time sensitive to me.

Hair should be tightened in a bun or a pony tail, and a hat should be worn.

Hair is one thing I haven't seen an issue with outside of Starbucks. Piercings shouldn't fall into the category of jewelry as they're semi-permanent. (Also, I'd rather a ring be in that hole in your face than to just have it open. Childish, I know.)

I would like to say that I don't understand the purpose for hats or aprons. In our jobs, we are frequently switching tasks. You can go from slicing turkey to writing on a cake and then culling apples. All of that is on your apron. Your shirt and pants likely get washed more often.

Hats don't keep hair off of food. Short hair like mine is going to fall regardless of hat or not.

I hate hats, though, so I'm biased.

Only if your tls enforce it. We used to have a sbux employee with hair to her waist that was always loose. Nobody saw a problem with this...She also did some shifts at food ave.:oops:
