Beer truck drivers at work

The only beer wagon I want to pull is owned by Stewart Haas Racing and has a #4 on the side.

Kudos to you guys out there delivering every day. I worked driving semi for a convenience store chain for 7 1/2 years delivering to our stores.

 

I don't do stores any more, but when I did, those ignorant store clerks had no idea that payback is a "whatever." I made sure they didn't get any credits on anything, if they caused me problems. All their outdated returns made it back to the warehouse, but the paperwork didn't. While they're standing there running their mouth, I also took their copies of the receipts and made them also disappear later in the day. All the while standing there as if I'm cowering down to their ranting.

 

It wasn't bad, but most stores, we unload through the front door, with rollers from the truck to inside the store, they are supposed to have enough help to unload, however, some days, stores didn't have enough help so it took longer. Customers would ##### because they had to walk an extra 8 ft to get their 3 candy bars and a diet Coke. We were supposed to have priority over vendors coming in as they weren't to hold us up, but had a few that thought they ran the show, they quickly found out we could get someone else's product instead and lost the account........ We had to stay on schedule because the stores were paying the unloading help and if we were late, it was wasted time. We had an allowable limit to be behind or we would call ahead and let stores know if we would be off schedule. I wasn't off schedule too often.

It was a good company, hourly wage, 4 day work week, they paid for breakfast, dinner, and hotel on the road. I was there 7 1/2 years.

 

What company was it that you had worked for 7 1/2 years?

 

Casey's General Stores.

 

Really? After reading many of your helpful post on this forum I would never have guessed that you had this side to you.

 

HA! I was thinking the same thing.

 

Well, we get tired of 8th grade dropouts wearing bow ties strutting around like little Napoleons talking down to everyone. One produce guy at a grocery store in Kentucky was flirtin' & hittin' on me, but I ignored him. When I returned to the warehouse, the terminal manager asked if I had any problems at that store. I said NO , why? He said the store manager called and said I refused to help unload the truck and just stood on the dock chain smoking. I said, I quit smoking over 20 yrs. ago. The terminal manager said I must go back to the store anyway and apologize; they scheduled another load for me. I confronted the store manager and he had no idea what I was talking about. Then he said, "Oh, wait a minute, that was probably the guy in produce. He has a habit of calling truckers companies and identifying himself as me, then saying the drivers caused problems. He does this if you spurn his advances."
Many low life grocery store employees do strange things like this because it's the only time they feel they have power over anyone else. Rather than dwell on it, I made a game of "PAYBACK" because I needed the job but wasn't going to be brow beaten doing it.

 

This is where you start using phrases like "sexual harassment," "hostile work environment" and "legal counsel."

Now, I don't cotton to those Special Snowflakes who think they should never experience an unpleasant moment, but this is exactly the kind of thing these laws were written for. I'd start talking to lawyers.

Or just tell me who this guy is and where he works, and I'll pack up my attitude adjustment devices and take a ride out there.*
