Thought it would be fun to have a thread that is dedicated solely to the awful crap you receive from the warehouse. Maybe we can vote on the worst stack job on the forum! Let's see what you've got! I know you've got pictures on your cell phone, pictures you were going to send to headquarters! You probably gave the pictures to your manager to send to the warehouse so some guy who doesn't speak english can look at it and delete it immediately, not resolving the issue with a worker who sucks at his job!

Oh, i wish i had a picture to show you the horrors. This one time I received a load, nothing special, so i thought it was going to be easy. Open the back of the truck and to my dismay a pallet of water gallons fell over and crushed a pallet a Quaker cereal, and than to make thing worse some of the gallons busted damaging the boxes. We had to let them go for about 50 cents. They where a part of the buy 5, save 5 so you can imagine the angry remarks managment got.
Most recently, the driver obviously had to slam on the brakes. About 6 pallets fell forward. There was no room to get to the backside of them and they were too heavy to push back. Had to be poorly wrapped tall heavy items with short pallets in front of them. Took way too long to unload that truck.
My most memorable one where I wished I had a forklift: Two water pallets set next to each other and both placed sideways. One had a board sticking out or something. I could not move either pallet. They kept hanging up on the side of the trailer. I had to restack an entire pallet onto another pallet and then pry the empty pallet out of the tight fit. More frustrating was we were the only store on the trailer and there was space for atleast 6 more pallets on the tail end. They didn't need to turn pallets sideways.
I haven't got to experience any "special deliveries", but yesterday the roll-up door on the trailer wouldn't go up. After the manager pried it open a bit with the stacker, I had to crawl in and take most of the rollers off of the door to fully open it. And a few months ago the ramp to the trailer on our only loading dock broke. After backing the trailer up on top of pallets to raise it to the dock height, we had to use the handjack to move most of the pallet over the gap and into our back room and then pick it up with the stacker.
A manager and another employee decided that the pallets where a good idea. I have no clue how the tires didn't get any nails in them. The pallets where completely destroyed.
Anyone eles have something come off the trucks covered in maggots?
Ew, ew, ew. That sounds like a major health violation. How even?
I don't understand the way warehouse stacks stuff sometimes. I get that they're probably in a hurry, but you still make time for common sense and not put fragile stuff underneath all the heavy boxes. We get so much broken ****.
