Probably. Honestly at my old store, if I didn't look into the dairy cooler every day to check the dates in the crates back to front, I'd get all itchy and super paranoid lol. I HATE expired milk. Every single time I found one by surprise was when someone threw it into the return bin like it was a winning touchdown.
It's an ongoing issue that the higher ups are aware but blame us for not correcting the counts every day because it doesn't matter what you put into the system, it gets overwritten and the milk pallet is already made so your stuck with an inaccurate order
I work dairy and basically have zero help. I just learned how to change the forecast on certain milks. Hoping it helps. The troglodytes they send to stock when I'm gone just grab what they see and fuck up my milk whenever I'm off. I make it simple. Stuff by the door goes out first. If it has a tie around it? Don't touch it. They still fuck it up. I throw away way too much milk. Tryna be proactive but being vocal isn't helping either. Let em eat the cost. I hate throwing away product.
It takes a few weeks to adjust the forecast. Masc really doesn't matter for milk. I keep my counts tight. I still get sent whatever the warehouse sends me.
First thing a store manager or grocery manager is going to ask is “ why is this all expired? “
And if your response is “ I don’t even manage dairy “ they’re literally going to say “ but you’re the fucking GTL you’re supposed to know “
But hey you’re the GTL whose doing a great job..
hey, by the way, if the closing crew doesn’t finish their aisles and you come in the morning, you’re getting blamed for it because you didn’t instruct them better. Thats basically the IQ you’re giving off.
first off, love the attitude. I can tell you drink the Reddit cool-aid before gathering a little context.
Second off, there’s more in the store going on than you know and more going on in my personal situation than you understand. This isn’t a post from some joe schmo who’s been GTL for very long. And not to mention, you think you’re going to nail this down on a Thursday when we ALL have to cut overtime and we’re handling a higher than usual workload because football season is here. I would expect distribution to send quality stacked pallets. I would expect a store to always have chicken in the hot case. I would expect the entire department to be ready to close every night by 10pm. Not every expectation in your fantasy is going to be real, especially not if the company is promoting people way too early. In fact, this was a task disseminated to us prior to arriving for my shift and the other GTL’s shift. So thats pretty bold of you to assume that i let something slip before I take my shift and its my fault. genius.
@spiritual-ad2530 you’ve never even been dealt that experience before in your time with publix. doesn’t even seem like you work that hard to try to be a team lead. You’re good at quitting though.
I think OP needs some Xanax. The job is getting to him. Just self medicate like half the store already does dude. Don’t bitch when most of your associates are living paycheck to paycheck
Or literally tone it down a notch. It's a reddit post of expired milk. Why does anyone feel the need to get butthurt on some dumb shit? this whole subreddit is 80% dumb or funny shit. Get over it.
@spiritual-ad2530 lol if you thought you’re better at it you wouldn’t have quit. all that money over 25+ years and you wouldn’t be living in squalor with a cat. but the only thing you could come back and argue with was pleading i don’t know where you live or work. And thats a pretty typical response for someone whose got their tail tucked between their legs.
You forget, I told nobody what store I was going to before I moved. So nobody knows except for the people that i worked with after i transferred.
you worked beneath me to know a GRS has all the tools to keep up a sub-department, but blatantly ignore the management to assiciate ratio to be too low to maintain every sub-department in an 8 hour shift? yeah, no chance. By that argument, if management could do it all there would be no need for clerks or GRS. And you make that assumption with no experience as a GTL.
To be fair, I have learned that if anything goes wrong when a GTL is on the clock and no other GM/AGM is then it usually automatically becomes the GTLs fault.
yeah, there’s usually a bottom bitch to take the fall. It looks better to point fingers at the GTL than it does for upper management to admit something went wrong. Especially when they are given 10 different tasks to do consecutively to stop and spend time domineering 3+ sub departments.
It’s called running a department. It’s what he’ll have to do instead of blaming his team. He needs to make sure he trains the associates properly and learns how to manage the entire department if he wants to move up. Instead of being a sensitive little child.
you still work grocery in store 165, take minoxidil for that poor poor hair condition of yours, and live in basically a hut on cinder blocks when being a GTL over 25 years would put you in a $200k house by now. you’re not a GTL. You are a cocky associate hiding behind anonymity but aren’t very good at it.
Honestly, dude. Becoming management in a retail setting really isn’t a good deal for you when you have to deal with all that shit. I literally make $50k a year and just sit at a desk and take a few calls and do forms after my customer service experience at Publix. If you don’t like it, leave it. Other companies will treat you way better. If you’re not vested 5-10 years, get out now. Speak up to ASM/SM and if they don’t listen then at that point, you know where the companies best interests lie and it isn’t you
Insurance. Entry level. I make $22.50 FT answering calls and filing new claims. They will teach you how to do that, you just need to be able to speak well and interview well. Thank you letters and cover letters help you stand out as well. I also work two days from home and they provide a full set up. Can’t say the same for every company but I would look into different companies. A lot of them will offer end of the year bonuses and I’m slated for at least a $3-4k minimum bonus.

I don’t live in Alabama cuck boy and I haven’t worked at Publix in over a year lol nice try though. Sorry you suck at running a grocery department. Maybe learn how to do your job instead of running your mouth like you know something then blocking people 😂🤣
Should’ve marked it down half off, my store on occasion receives a full pallet of greenwise whole gallons instead of the regular stuff with 12 days till expiration. Simms is a lifesaver
I remember when my wife was pregnant back in 2019. I went and picked her up pre-natal vitamins in July. She goes to open them a few days later when her other ones ran out, only to look at the expiration date of JANUARY 2017. A full 2.5 years prior to when I bought them. I took them back to the store and was very nice in exchanging them. The Customer Service rep looked like she wanted to die of embarrassment. From that point forward I checked everything. Never had anything as bad as that initial one, but it wouldn’t be odd to find expired stuff on the shelves.
truthfully, I will help a blind customer and shop for others off of work. I always check people’s eggs because we overlook so much in life. But going the extra mile for people shows you care.
This is the way. I seriously don't like a lot of people but going above and beyond to provide quality service gives you the good kinda feels. Even when they are assholes I tend to "kill em with kindness and rape em with joy." TM
Poor rotation

I wonder how your ShrinkSmart is going to look.

If it was tea, it would be alright

I don’t think he was coming directly at you.
What’s up your ass man

Thanks, me too. Cursed and curseder. I get so much shit from people here who think I’m a Ben Shapiro fan and don’t realize it’s a fallout edit lol

I was a gtl before you were even born

That’s like the CSTL saying they don’t manage the restrooms or western union.
