To all my beverage/Food Vendors: Whose the most annoying??

When I worked for FirstFleet out of the Kroger DC in Cleveland TN, I delivered dry goods to Kroger stores all over the south east. It always made me smile when I'd pull into a store and there was a bread truck, A Coke truck, and beer truck already there. To see the soul-crushing disappointment on their faces as the store manager told them that I had priority, and they had to wait, brought joy to my heart. There's nothing like having that rock-star VIP status on the grocery store dock.

 

You are paid by the hour so quit crying. I drove for coke out of sylmar ca for 11 years. Only did bulk o. Weekends. Easy job. Try doing the sideloaders where we block everyone while doing deliveries lol . You doing 5 to 6 deliveries a day. I doing 15 to 20.

 

Bulk guys here get paid more over here.

 

Hey, if you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen! There are a hell of a lot of other driving jobs out there! Instead of snivelling and crying and whining and complaining and yelling and screaming and throwing temper tantrums, get off your butt and go out there and find a job! But first get your itty-bitty truck out of the way! Sheesh, some people's kids...


















Calm down, this is a light hearted post, in response to your light hearted thread!

 

I did side load work and the most annoying was the weather and customer making me their stock boy. Yes yes I know it's part of my job but some places it's just drop and go, Walgreens, CVS, dollar stores were annoying.

 

Those stores i put in in cooler. Sometimes stack some by endcaps. We had merchandisers that did the stocking. They got rid of sideloaders and gave us 35 foot endloaders. Stops were put on pallets. Smaller orders were put in racks. Made jobs easier. Had same issues of finding where to park.

 

Hey here's an idea. Go drive for a grocery store and be that person who jumps to the front of the line.

 

Hate when they showed up. Specially vons trlucks. They have 3 delivery trucks and they somehow show up at same time. Was backing to a dock at one store and 1st truck showed up. Waited about 45 min b4 he left. I just hit the dock when 2nd one showed up. So moved out and saw the 3rd truck waiting. So asked the receiver if i can come back later. Went and did my next stop and went back. Their 2nd truck had finish and instead of looking drove out where their 3 rd truck was blocking the alley. So when he backed up he hit a powerpole and knocked it down. If i had stayed the wires would have been over my trailer. I asked the store manager if he wanted me to bring the load thru front. He said no. What a mess that was for them.
