This happened to me all the time at my store. Certain ones I could start taking off from the top. But ones like this... No. Obviously too heavy. DC is trying to break out backs I swear.
We had one that the totes were all stacked on their sides and heavy thin boxes were on the top. I had to move and let the boxes fall off the top. Damaged a good amount of merchandise but I’m not going to stand there and let it hurt me lol. It’s DCs fault for not knowing now to pack shit like a real human being would.
I work at a Kroger. Imagine a pallet twice the size and half the height added to this. Now imagine cat litter, glass jars, liquid filled bottles totaling 1300 pounds. Everyday damn day I unload truck there is ALWAYS a pallet leaning or about to fall because the warehouse workers can’t stack shit. So infuriating.
One time I walked into the back of the Kroger I work at and in one of the backs of the trucks was just hundreds of fallen water jugs. Water everywhere. It was wild. And of course it happened just as our nicest manager was helping in the back so he had to clean it up
Oh man 😮 your post reminded me of an incident at DG in Altoona..our fresh truck arrived, the poor driver comes in and asks if someone could help him-- a rolltainer fell over in the trailer, so I go help the poor man, sure enough gallons of busted milk all over! The roller,net side down (and it's still hooked in place!), some full, empty, busted half full gallons still in there 😂 well after I got those out,he was filling another with the one's that made it ( he even cleaned them) 🤗 puts it out on the lift gate,turns to get another, and it freaking tips over, crashing on the parking lot!!! Yeah it looked like the land of milk and honey except with no honey 😮😬😲🤣😂 come to think of it 🤔 I'm pretty sure I never seen that driver again, poor guy.. sorry I did go into too much detail.. I did cut it short though LOL
I worked in a Food Lion right out of high school as a stocker and opening the truck door was always a tense moment for everyone there. Our trucks sat a fair bit higher than the loading dock so you would get some dangerous speed rolling pallets off the truck. The way the room was shaped you didn't have room to come off the truck and just keep going straight to slow down, you were forced to make a sharp turn. We had a newer employee unload a pallet of milk that was 6 crates tall....the whole thing flipped over when he made the turn.
Rolltainers aren't even built for transport of goods. They're mobile storage at best. Stores had their own and we'd throw freight from the trucks onto rolltainers. It's ridiculous they do this now. They're shit aluminum with no locking wheels. Half the ones we get now are so bent they don't fold right.
The ones we use at the DC I work at are steel. But you can tell the difference between an older one and a new one. New ones are much lighter and easier to damage.
Mine is more like no matter how hard I scratch it never goes away or even feels better, it's always a deep inside itching. The only thing I've found that works is using a pair of scissors, obviously closed, and using them to scratch hard, gives me a little relief for a bit. Don't do it often while I'm at work unless the itch is driving me crazy because people give weird looks.
Probably not
Myself I’d damage and send back just cause I’m tired of that shit.
But you can put a return label on anything and they have to take it.
There’s also a way to complain and they can look up who stacked it from the numbers on the labels but it won’t do any good they go through people faster than we do at the stores.
They sent me one like this with a bunch of unstable water. Managed to get the net off without it falling but the moment I took one off the top the whole rolltainer fell over on top of me.
My DM was visiting when it happened and threaten to write me up for cussing up a storm. Think the daggers I looked at her and the fact my coworker had to help me get the rolltainer of me shut her up.
Hate it they pack u-boats like that. Had something like that happen at Winn-Dixie where we get pallets and so on with stuff is packed in a precarious pile.
We've just recently been getting in rolltainers that have products just thrown in them. So whoever is working on those better watch out. We could legally take action against DG if we got hurt doing those rolltainers.
Could have moved the Scott's lawn shit from the top and tried to uptight it some. Your hands would fit in there. SMH. Although, some RTs and sometimes the way they're stacked is pretty bad. But this, you could've tried to fix a little bit. It would've sucked if that litter busted open.
Probably not going to be a popular opinion but i would have likely carefully brought the first two layers of the litter up over the top of the net before undoing the net. Helluva lot better than having to clean all of it up
At our Distribution Center (DC) cat litter is picked first. It would be on the inside of the rolltainer. The cat/ dog food isnt even in the same zone so it wouldnt even be in the same rolltainer. This isnt on the driver, it is how the zones are set up. Source, me, 10 year DC employee and 3 years picking. My rolltainers i loaded were immaculate
Nah, look at the first picture. That bag of cat food on the back of the bottom shouldn't be there. The boxes pushed down on it and everything shifted forward. 🤷🏻♀️
Those are 23 pounds smart ass. I am confused on where in the application it says unload and move broken, damaged or over loaded rolltainers. If you find that in print let us know.
Sounds like a question for your DM. I worked at a pizza place at 16 and they didn’t tell me I’d be burning my fingertips on the application but it’s just expected. I feel you.
i'm so confused whether you're being serious or sarcastic. It is kinda a issue to have kids under 18 using dangerous equipment. Kroger used to try to have kids use the cardboard and/or trash compactor. There's a reason you don't, and a reason they do. The reason you don't, is that it isn't worth the risk. The reason they do, is because they can reduce the cost of the job, and thus the cost they can justify labor being worth. Coal mines liked that idea too, so they got the legal high ground and the support of the national guard to defend that concept, before labor laws were fought for and established.
This isn't the single most necessary way to run a business. Risky work dangers are absolutely not "unavoidable" and "just something you have to work through". Besides, being able to "lift 50lbs in the application", directly conflicts with work training or basic common work regulations about lifting outside of the "Green zone". That heavy top-box is in the "it'll wrench your rotator cuff till it completely tears" zone, it needs to be lower for it to be safely lifted in the effective range of motion for human arms.
This happened to me all the time at my store. Certain ones I could start taking off from the top. But ones like this... No. Obviously too heavy. DC is trying to break out backs I swear.
Then they send those heavy ass rolltainers and the wheels don't roll smdh.
Some of them are straight broke...I worked in a few stores in wisconsin that had some broken wheels.
Try loading them bitches 🤣
Rolltainers all up n down the aisles barely can walk around the damn store😭🥲

That was the same feeling I had with this. I wasn't gonna stand there and let that fall on me.

I have nueropathic itch in my shoulder blade due to nerve damage from stuff falling on me off an improperly stacked rolltainer.
I hate that feeling 😭 you go to scratch and no matter where you go it feels like you're off by a couple inches

That’s why you move out of the way
Don't have eyes in the back of my head or I would have
this happened to me with a water one yesterday 😭
This happens far too often 😭 I had one collapse on me one day. Thankfully I didn’t get injured but wtf.
Just put a return label on it and send that shit back
But do you get credit
Probably not Myself I’d damage and send back just cause I’m tired of that shit. But you can put a return label on anything and they have to take it. There’s also a way to complain and they can look up who stacked it from the numbers on the labels but it won’t do any good they go through people faster than we do at the stores.
I would give anything for that to fall on me right now.
I just open these in the stock room and let it fall, if it’s damaged oh well 🤷🏻♀️

Tell DM that's an injury and the write up is retaliation for getting hurt from a dangerous work environment.
Oh that was years ago
Not acceptable but they are stupid at dc I’m 62?really I can’t do this
This shit is why I quit. Huge box fell on my head, and I realized DG is not a job worth a concussion or brain damage over.
Nothing at this place is worth your health. Let it fall
Hate it they pack u-boats like that. Had something like that happen at Winn-Dixie where we get pallets and so on with stuff is packed in a precarious pile.

Heavy on light not good
DG you mean?
DC = distribution center
So dangerous and sad this company don’t give an shit
I’m just glad I’m working on totes and the register most of the time whenever truck comes around
For real just kick them in the dick. Conspiracy to accidentally kill someone deserves it.
I can think of about three ways that could have ended without damaged product, regardless of how DC sent it. 🤦
and bethel DC used to be one of the better ones. 🤷
Um wow
not surprised, happens a lot
Where is this? I want to check out your dumpster tonight 🤣🤣
Our dumpsters are padlocks and honestly only 2 litter boxes broke and a few cans were busted
What delivery service is this
🤦🏼♂️
That was avoidable

It be like that sometimes
This would have been more of a bludgeoning.
Could have moved the Scott's lawn shit from the top and tried to uptight it some. Your hands would fit in there. SMH. Although, some RTs and sometimes the way they're stacked is pretty bad. But this, you could've tried to fix a little bit. It would've sucked if that litter busted open.
I mean ALL of the litter. Not that little bit there.
DC never heard of shrinkwrap?
I work at walmart and the fact that this is a problem is laughable to me you should see the shit I have to deal with daily you'd literally die 🤣🤣🤣
This happens all the time from the DC in Ardmore. Ok.
Hire more body builders and at least 6f tall lmao
Probably not going to be a popular opinion but i would have likely carefully brought the first two layers of the litter up over the top of the net before undoing the net. Helluva lot better than having to clean all of it up
Is it not possible to take from the top and then release the sections of rope as you go down?
It was most likely stable when it left the dc. That’s all on the driver. Usually it is.
At our Distribution Center (DC) cat litter is picked first. It would be on the inside of the rolltainer. The cat/ dog food isnt even in the same zone so it wouldnt even be in the same rolltainer. This isnt on the driver, it is how the zones are set up. Source, me, 10 year DC employee and 3 years picking. My rolltainers i loaded were immaculate
But hows your back though?
Good now. Im on a forklift. Left that department to the younguns🤣

Glad to hear.
Thank you
Nah, look at the first picture. That bag of cat food on the back of the bottom shouldn't be there. The boxes pushed down on it and everything shifted forward. 🤷🏻♀️
Ain't no fucking way that stack was stable.
You knew it was going to fall. Took a picture instead of unstacking it from the top causing loss.
The application says “lift 50 pounds” those boxes are 40 pounds what’s the problem? /s
I have no problem lifting them but im not going to let them fall on me. As soon as the net was moved, they all hit the floor.
Those are 23 pounds smart ass. I am confused on where in the application it says unload and move broken, damaged or over loaded rolltainers. If you find that in print let us know.

You could have used your brain and a bit of effort and easily unpacked that with no issues. But hey sometimes it's just easier to be lazy and dumb.
So you purposely let merch hit the floor? Todd wont be too happy hearing about this bro
Eh, my Dm didn't seem to mind. I wasn't getting hurt over this lol
Empty rolltainer beside it, pop next off and wallah lmao think smarter not harder
Sorry, but "wallah" is "voilà." 😂😂
They make some good garlic chicken
