In all honesty at the DC I was at, I don't know how anyone can ever complain. The work was hot and physical at times, and you work in a production environment. If you didn't assume that going into the job, I don't know what to tell you. But, for a job that doesn't require a college degree of...

That's why you sift through the available trailers and pick 2-3 quick ones. Build yourself a buffer. Knock out a handful of shitty ones, then back to business. Process that happened at my DC when I was there was an unwritten rule/practice. I worked A1. I came into all four of our doors with the...

Be honest. This is highly unnecessary. At a team member point of view, the stores and a dc are simple processes when it comes to sweeps. There are protocols and standards for sending things back, and the same with dealing with them. On the dc end in sweeps, either it comes back they way it...

The BO was real. There was a guy on the A2 shift, we believe, bathed himself in the cheap cologne that you get in the bundle packs for Christmas. He wore wind breaker pants, typical grandpa mall walking shoes, and a stretched out A tank top. His cologne was on so heavy that cartoon scent lines...

Those shelves... If I had a nickle for every time a pallet of shelves came back held together with only two rubber bands...

But we had some close games of tic tac toe to play. Sorry to burst your bubble about how caring you thought the dc was. We had a number to hit by the end of the day. No questions really asked unless you didn't hit it. Entire mindset of inbound was "once it's on the line it's out of my hands"...

I'm only talking from my experiences when I worked at the DC, these are my preferences - I no longer work there. No need to separate pallets. We don't do it, a third party vendor does. We just unload and wait for warehousing to pick it up. Salvage, didn't matter to me. I didn't touch it. Goes...

Send it back, even worse. Wash your hands of it. Don't think about it too much.

Do you have any idea how many smashed china sets we just sent down the line because we didn't want to walk the 200' to the damage bin? I can give you a hint, it's a lot.

There were a couple temps that pissed in trailers...that were caught. Numerous dead mice and birds in the inbound trailers. There was a day we put a dead bird on a box and sent it through the labeler. Didn't work so well. We've always had a joke in the dc that you should never buy a tv from...

Crushes at stores? Gee, the DC takes it to the next level. I wouldn't be surprised if you guys unloading the truck got some man milk on your hands. All the funky stuff that went down in those dimly lit outbound trailers especially on the night shifts when the bosses never really made their rounds.

How about this twist. What are you good at?

Why not?

Become a pipeline welder?

If you get fired for that, make sure to leave a chocolate hotdog on your supervisor's desk.

Another story. A store sent back a giant fridge from the cafe thing I assume. Not taken apart, not drained of liquids/gasses. This fucker was like 10ft long, 8ft high, and 3ft deep. It was topped onto a bale when I opened the door. I poked it with the forklift a couple times - no movement. Got...

It was satisfying to just look at it and say, "nope. Not today Satan"

I remember doing sweeps at the dc. Basically if it couldn't be traced as to why it was there, or required even the smallest amount of extra work, find that placard that says "please take to store..." Wash my hands of it. On my way. Seriously, that's all it was for us. I didn't care how the...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I minimize loading pallets on the wrong side as much as possible, believe me. For example, something like Bounty paper towel? I hate loading this stuff as well. Sometimes it comes double stacked already (if warehousing drops off 2 at a time it is double stacked...
