I had to dry mop a small mess because the frozen case was leaking. Two of the mop buckets were filled with damaged product. The reason they were filled is because there is a total idiot on the grocery crew with a don't-give-a-**** attitude to boot. Another guy on the grocery crew helped me empty one of them out, and after he scanned out all of the damaged product I found out that over $50 worth was no good. All that over one or two of the items that were damaged in the case. And this idiot has been here for a while and will probably still be instead of being fired.
What exactly happened? How did this guy cause so much cost in shrink?
Most managers these days rely too much on shrinking out items when something goes wrong. Those kind of managers should realize that every time something gets shrinked thats money out of our pockets.
Got a 22 year old kid that I am working to train to cut meat. I think he will be good in time but he was nearly terminated the other day, and almost caused me to be written up. His problem was that After showing him how to cut the blades off of the clods, He decided to just chunk them in the bone can because he was running out of time and not sure what to do with them.
Six blades was trashed. There was nine of them and three of them was merchandised out to show him how to cut them and merchandise them out. Six blades at about eight pounds a piece at about $4.50 a pound came out to about, $216 in shrink because someone got lazy.
I was able to keep from having him terminated but he did get a write-up on it and one lecture about shrink from management and a good ass chewing out from me.
