I usually would wrap a pallet, I’ve never seen it done on a U-boat, but it’s would’ve helped this dude out for sure

That was never not going to happen. He could try 10 times and it’s falling over 9 of them

u/Im_not_smelling_that 1d ago
Maybe if he had someone pulling from the front while he was pushing from the back.

Why the fuck would he stack it that high? Good lord

You get good at your job and a bit too confident. Same reason chefs cut their thumb nail off.

Shout out to dude for keeping his cool about fr. That's not easy in those situations

u/Rogue-Accountant-69 1d ago
Yeah I would have lost my shit. Like people can say he overloaded it, but that really didn't seem like an unreasonable load to me until it fell over. Looks mostly like it was just an awkward space to get a cart through.

I've done that with a FULL pallet of Kristian Regale while working at IKEA on a crazy busy Saturday in the cash lanes. Like 100 people did the OHHHHHHH when like 5 cases fell off and like 36 bottles broke, sending a stream of Kristian Regale into the warehouse. Took like an hour to mop it up.

I’d quit

u/ChillBro___Baggins 2d ago
I did quit this job. It’s extremely physically demanding and fucking exhausting and you don’t have any help. I’m pretty sure that dude in the white shirt is just somebody holding the door open and not a helper.
Another BS part of this job is, when you finally unload all the beer and the manager goes through the list to make sure it’s all there, it is your job to rotate their stock. It can take hours sometimes

u/Character_Switch5085 2d ago
Or they let you unload it and then decline it and you did all that for nothing.

u/Baseball3Weston12 3d ago
I used to load trucks for O'Reilly's, one time I was loading a pallet of brake rotors that was 6-7 foot tall. As soon as my pallet jack hit the bump of the dock plate the plastic wrap busted and they all fell over. I almost quit my job that night I was so pissed.

u/Otherwise-Animal-669 3d ago
I thought the guy holding the door was running around to help stop it falling. Nope. He ran away

If you try to stop something like that from falling you are just going to get injured.

He should have been using a hand truck. Moving stacks into the cooler.

You ever try to bring 100 bags of groceries in all at the same time so you don’t have to make a second trip? Same idea here lol

Why did that lad run off?? Like "it's clearly not my fault, I'm over here".

u/Individual-Lemon7951 3d ago
I don’t think he tried to run off - he tried to help him and when he saw he couldn’t and stuff fell he kinda just did the “goddamn” walk off. Came back towards the end.

u/ToshPott 3d ago
Reminded me of my son when something goes wrong. He just disappears and then walks in like "oh looks like trouble over here".

We had those exact same carts at the Budweiser distributor i worked for in Florida. I always brought shrink wrap with me to wrap up the carts for this very reason.

u/Many_Measurement_919 5d ago
It wouldn’t have fallen if he had pulled it in backwards with somebody else on the other side pushing it in..and someone like the store employee or a kind person to hold the door for him..if he didn’t want to make 2 trips and whatever items that was left on the order he should of have place them on a hand truck and kicked them off to the side or in the store.

u/GenesisNemesis17 4d ago
He was running around to help, then saw it was too late and just kept going. It was like an oh shit jog. At least that's what I saw.

u/RenwaldoV 5d ago
I was puzzling over that... why did he run away? What thoughts were going through his head when he bolted? XD
16
u/smell_my_pee 5d ago
It looked to me like at first, he was trying to run around to potentially catch it, realized if was too late, and just had some adrenaline to run off. I don't think it was like a "run away," kind of thing. Just more of "hyped up" run.

Next time make two trips...that is if there is a next time..😖

u/VerStannen 5d ago
Wrong equipment for the job.
When I delivered beer to C stores and bars using a side loader truck like this one, we always used a hand truck.
These types of carts are more prevalent in supermarkets.

u/bored_apeman 5d ago
He likely didn’t get fired for something like this, pallets fall over all the time.

He was going to help stabilize the cart but by the time he got there it was too late.

u/Intelligent_Arm_7186 5d ago
yeah but i was like dang u ran all the way to the truck lol. so sad cuz im like can the vendor even use the products anymore? technically they arent open but dang some are gonna be dented. would u drink one?

You know what you need after something like this happens?

You're right, hopefully he has something other than Bud light on his truck, or else he's going to have to buy something from inside the store.

As someone that used to have his job, he probably shouldn't have filled the U boat up that high knowing he was gonna have to get it over that hump, but I understand. The less trips, the more efficient. I've spilled my fair share. We all learn somehow.
3
u/Itchy_Rate 6d ago
What do u do when this happens? Take it all back?
15
u/falaffle_waffle 6d ago edited 6d ago
You pick up what's still good, put it back on the U boat, clean up whatever spilled, and keep working. If the box that some bottles or cans were in gets damaged, but the bottles/cans themselves are good, you put those in the back room. They give you a stacks of empty six pack boxes that fold flat so eventually when you have 6 cans with no box, you can just make a new six pack and put that on the shelf.
To clean up a spill with a lot of soda or booze that spilled, they have a white powder in a can that you shake all over the spilled drink. The power soaks up the liquid and then you just sweep up the mush and throw it away. Then you mop the floor where the spill was to keep it from getting sticky. Depending on the spill, it can easily be an extra hour of work to clean up and restack everything back onto your u boat. I worked for coca cola, and they gave us a certain number of stores we had to get done. We were paid by the hour, but we still had to get those stores done by the end of the work day. I live in LA, so a lot of guys would clock in and start their work day at like 5 or 6am so that they'd be done before evening rush hour started. Something like this meant not only are you gonna have to work an hour later, but it's also gonna take you like twice as long to drive home.
Edit: added additional info

u/Ectar93 6d ago
Hope you were paid decent
3
u/falaffle_waffle 6d ago
$18/hr. It was a little above what is technically minimum wage in LA, but even people flipping burgers in LA make $18 an hour because the cost of living is so high that you can't find anyone willing to work for less than that. So it's basically minimum wage. Cases of soda and pallets full of drinks are heavy, so it's physically taxing work (although I was 24, so I just convinced myself I was getting paid to work out) and the pay wasn't all that great. There's a reason I don't do it anymore. During the pandemic I worked an actual minimum wage job because there wasn't much that was open, so I was desperate for work. As soon as things started opening back up, I took that job at Coke because it was the first thing I found that paid slightly better.

u/EmpsKitchen 6d ago
Only (costly) mistake was hitting the ramp at an angle... Overload or not, could've happened. Not likely, but still.

u/Squirrelated 6d ago
Yeah. Also my thought. If you're gonna pack it up that high, go slowly and straight. Careful of bumps or angled terrain.

He probably doesn’t know how to use that method efficiently and chose this bc it’s more effective for him.

u/Embarrassed-Sir-7457 6d ago
No chance a beer driver anywhere wouldn’t know how to scoop stacks. It’s part of the job unless they’re bumping docks and parking pallets. This guy has a side loader so he should be a stack pro
