Virtually No Training, had to unload 26 pallets off a truck delivery
Permalink   


I had my first evening shift recently, I worked morning shifts for my first 2 weeks of employment, I was the only one working in the grocery dept that night. A truck comes in, I have zero experience unloading the truck at this point, and have used the powerjack for all of 5 minutes (and that is probably an exaggeration, I moved 2 stacks of empty pallets a few days prior). I get about 6 pallets out and the only powerjack we have dies as the person who handled the dairy truck earlier in the day didn't charge it. So now the truck driver is getting impatient, telling me about his long drive he has to make to ohio after he leaves here and offers to unload the truck himself once the jack is charged as I let slip I haven't done this before, then refuses to take any of our "salvage" (crates, empty pallets, bags of plastic) as he is too far behind schedule to wait. I feel like I was just thrown to the wolves. All of this after putting down on my availability sheet that I can't work evenings, but the dept head doesn't check the sheet (or care if you have been trained). I didn't put the availability on the store's website (new hire I forgot i needed to), I tell the store manager the day before all this hell that I can't work evenings (overnights, mornings, and afternoons are fine) and he starts giving me this line of **** regarding how I can't "change" my availability until I've been there for 90 days. **** this place....

 

Sincerely,

A sore, tired, and disgruntled Grocery Clerk

Welcome to Kroger.

 

It doesn't get better.

 

Although, you should have injured yourself and then claimed worker's comp, since you weren't trained.

 Faking an injury is your advice?

Don't fake the injury. Actually get injured due to not being trained.
