Discord Friday/ Let's Correct Some Things
I'm in the UK and I used to work for small companies but now I've worked for the big companies, you're right, they just want a revolving door of employees. I think I was told that the reason is, is that it makes them look like a good employer that gives a lot of people jobs...besides other things. They win some poxy award that they've created and the managers can attend award dinner nights. You're right about benefits too, old timers have entitlements and they want to phase that out. definietly correct with that one.
Thanks for the videos! Subscribed for sure. Bet you’ve been told you look like Vince Vaughn
😆, yes
Hit 65% on my first 3 days of solo picking at the new warehouse. It's hilarious because they want us to do zone stacking but every single picker I've spoken to on the floor has pulled me aside and said just make sure it's on the right pallet and you're fine. While I was getting my battery changed I actually had one guy come over, tell me he was going to show me something, and then restack my pallet for me ignoring the zone stacking thing. I'm not sure if this is just the way they do things on the floor or it's warehouse vs drivers but whatever!
Nah dude same where I work. Trainers advise you to not zone 😭 makes me feel bad seeing new dudes with 6 cases of the same thing on their first pick, but put them on opposite sides of the pallet lol
I quit 2 weeks ago. I was in a teamsters as well and this couldnt be more accurate. There was so much toxicity and I refuse to put a job over my mental health and family. You’re absolutely spot on, we get pushed and stepped on especially the good workers. There is little a contract this September and we were suppose to get a huge raise, historically big. Money is great but when it gets to the point in which that is the sole purpose of you going to the job, its gets depressing real fast. Knowing the company is making millions while we scrape away for$0.001 to their 1.00$. I had just returned from bereavement leave for my grandfather’s funeral and I got a warning when i returned for my performance. Even though all of the days weren’t considered into my 6 week avg. I hit -5 avg and i was suppose to be @-4( 100%=0, -5=95%, -20=80%) its a difference of minutes and with everything considered in selecting its not far off at all. Of course management doesn’t give a flying fuck about their staff so the crack the whip and say get back to work go faster. I could go on for days of the reasons i left. 1. Lack of equipment or broken unsafe to use equipment. 2 lack of safety precautions( pallets of product would fall from 7-10 level high) with 1,000’s of pounds falling from any height is enough to kill someone on impact. 3 they run super high standards (250-300+ cases per hour depending upon orders) which make it IMPOSSIBLE to not get injured. 4 work night shift, sleep during the day, have no time for yourself or family 5 mental health- isolation can lead to depression, premature mortality, increased stress, heart disease and stroke, etc its terrifying how bad isolation is. 6 unfulfilling- there is really no sense of purpose, sure selection allows the food to get to stores and for people to eat but in reality its a catch .22 the majority of the food thats sent out is excess anyway. Its either close to expiring, gets damaged before it can be sent out, gets damaged en route, expires on the self of the store and thrown out anyway. 7. NOTHING EVER CHANGES. A union steward had been in that same building for 38 years, he and I graduated from the same high school, and the few problems i discussed with him have been the same for the entire time he’s worked there and Im sure previous to him as well. As I said before i could go on forever about why I left haha im just BEYOND relieved to finally be done throwing cases.
If you're using plastic, never put a heavy bucket in the middle, learned that the hard way.
@jakepass27 why?
It takes a lot of guts to leave a teamster warehouse, admire you for doing it. I would feel trapped as you said, with the pension and what not. However, who knows what'll happen in the future and if we'll be even able to collect on that pension. My mindset is like how I see social security, if it's there it's a bonus and not something I'm going to rely on.
Appreciate it! We lost our pension awhile ago. I keep what I have but it's not much
Good video, man, very informative. I think that is happening not only in unionized shops. Moving backward is not the right, but if it reduces stress, it may be what is needed.
I literally learned how to stack by pretending it was Tetris. Dry or cooler easy 120% on a 45k case count night
I'm Curious, do you turn cases every which way or all upright?
In the last 4 years 20 have quit. 15 have retired. 24 have been fired.
Appreciate it!
Spot on tim. Great video
Appreciate it
why dont they bring in engineers and they can engineer perfect slotting
This always happed at USF & Sysco yearly. The company would eliminate bids and force morning guys back to night. Then at some point during mid year they'd open up bids again due to lack of man power on mornings.
Tim man, you help a lot. From a cooler selector pov, I see guys that are selecting with me on Monday cussing under their breath going through it, to dropping pallets for me to pick from on Tuesday. I can see they like dropping better, but are forced to work at a 140% selecting otherwise. Let those guys that have been there for a significant amount of time “select” what they do, day in and day out.
Hey tim. Excellent video as always. I think your company is well aware of what it's doing. I think they're phasing out the, "old timers" with the out of this world standards. Now, they have to hire on news people at lower wages, longer times to get the benefits. Eventually, the union will get phased out all together. Or as the saying goes, Both the company and union will be in bed together.... I used to work for a supermarket chian in the warehouse and I ran into a guy I used to work with and he said, a bulk of the senior guys left for whatever reason/s, The shop stewart retired and the company seen an opening and now they slashed the union benefits. Take my word on this, Companies are willing to let the employees live in the sun for a bit while knowing that the companies will have the last word on the subject.
John I always appreciate your comments and it sparked a part 2 to this video
Fortunately I work at one that has 4 10 hour shifts and voluntary extra days.
Thats how my work was for the first 1st year and a half, but then suddenly we've been on 5 10/12 hr shifts and I quit selecting due to it, can't keep doing that for months on end
@@Nick70011right dude. I can deal with 2-3 ten or twelve hour days a week but once you walk in that building knowing ur not leaving until 5am everyyydayyyy it gets tiring. Hope you find something you enjoy man💪🏼
@@b0rda I'm still in the same warehouse but I switched positions to salvage/trailer strip/pallet sorter job, not getting anywhere close to where I was selecting but way less stressful and chill
sysco?
Gordon Food Service.
I just stared at the Whole Foods distribution center, on my 3rd day halfway through I was on my own.. struggling a lot with building.. thank you for the tips
Just got mine from Walmart on clearance for $118
Nice!
Jus get it on the truck. Who cares after that?
Definitely understand that mindset. No argument here
Tim, I'm thinking about shifting from selection to forks. So I'm watching all these fork vids now. Your selection vids helped me get the job in the first place. When you say tilt up on a heavy load, is that right before your forks touch the wood? And how does that help instead of going straight up? Wont it lean? Sorry, never done fork before.
If you don't tilt at all the weight will naturally go forward and you may catch the far board on rack. Tilt back just enough, not all the way.
It's about clearance
Equipment? Holster recommendations? Just starting out as selector. I really don’t have pouch for devices.
It all depends on your warehouse on what you'll need
4th day of training at a new warehouse and I absolutely smoked this big talking know-it-all who had this idea he was Gods gift to picking.
And his stacking absolutely sucked.
Lol
What company
@@TheWarehouseSeries US Foods
Sometimes we have no choice about the cardboard. For whatever reason Food Lion requires there to be cardboard in between different products on their pallets or we get fined like $250 per pallet. So I've had picker pallets go out that had like 10 layers of cardboard on them because they were 10 different products on that pallet. Food Lion is nuts.
That is crazy! I understand cross-contamination but fined 250 is nuts
@@TheWarehouseSeries it gets better. I'm sure you've dealt with a product called topo Chico, which is like mineral water. It comes from the manufacturer on brown block pallets. Food Lion insists that we send it to them on grade A pallets. So we have to push every single pallet of topo Chico on to either the blue pallets or the grade A pallets or once again it's a $250 fine per pallet. Thankfully I recently switched to night picking so I don't have to deal with that anymore but it was crazy.
I got terminated from Walmart Distribution because of a accident. I just started at Food Lion Distribution and they got me in full cases; the small boxes I didn't have too much experience in. I used your cross and t method and it worked good. My trainer told me if I didn't do it his way I was gonna screw up. All he did was tell me where to put boxes. I told him I gotta know why I'm putting them that way if it's going to stick with me. I'm just going to perfect the way you told me. It works for me and he's a jackass. Thanks again.
Happy to help! Hope this job is better than the last
Ya I agree my trainer did that. I watch your channel and other pickers who aren't trainer.
That one at 7 minutes 😭😭😭
Sorry for leaving that hanging in 68 aisle my bad. And leaving my replen move in the cross LOL
My cooler is only is only 6 aisles, 1st aisle is meat, 2nd aisle is wet produce, heavy produce, 3,4,5, is all mixed with eggs, more produce, dairy and deli, the last aisle is light weight, damageable produce, you have to be a magician with the building. The only cross contamination protocol is all meat on the bottom, chicken first, and there has to be a barrier under the eggs unless it’s goes directly on the pallet
Ugghh Coffeemate..we had a truck come in with 20 pallets of Hazelnut coffeemate that needed to be restacked. A lot of the time is the loaders dont use enough straps or load-locks to keep the stuff from shifting when the guy makes a sharp turn or has to slam on the brakes.
Believe me, I've gone on enough delivery routes as a drivers helper to know people are nuts on the road. I've seen my drivers have to stand on the brakes cause of something stupid the Corolla did in front of us
Im about to send you the best builds ever to review lol - Durham
I have guys in my dept that will do a double pallet, big shots, at 50 percent for 4 hours, get a single the be on their horn trying to beast out a 40 case single. I’m like you could do that shot at 300% it’s not going to help your overall percent
👍
When it comes to doing big cases the long way sometimes that's the only way it's going to work. Whenever we have like five or six cases of like the Excel meat or something it's 5 to a layer so 2 of them have to go the long way to fill out the layer.
My best days are always where it feels like you're playing a really good game of Tetris and and it seems like whenever you need a particularly shaped case or box of something that's what comes up next.
I just put a video out this week on calling it tetris. I guess we all have our own views. Please watch it and let me know your thoughts

You are helping me so much! 🙏 I have been a female dry order selector at Walmart for 9 years but we didn't use pallet jacks to move the freight around because we had a conveyor belt system that went all the way down to shipping. I had to leave Walmart and just got a freezer order selector job for McDonald's and I don't know how to build pallets or use a pallet jack because I am used to throwing freight on conveyor belts. I am learning so much from you. You are also very handsome and nice to look at. Just remember their are hot girl order selectors out there watching you 😉
Appreciate the feedback and compliments 😊
Thanks and god bless you! This helped a lot
My last job i couldnt stand. Theyd wait till i got up to like waist high to send me to the 100 pound bags of rice.
Warehouses do not care about their selectors
I just started a few weeks ago, but basically told after I was hired that if I don't get to 100% after the 90 days ik going to be let go. I don't know how I'm gonna get my numbers up. I'm working as hard as I can. I need this job.
Are you on my Discord?
@@TheWarehouseSeries No, what's the discord?
Same at my place . But i checked the boards and like 70% of the selectors done even have 100%
@@TheSketchyEddieYa I just ended up leaving that place. Not good for your body and also hated getting out at like 3-4am every night, can't even have a life like that. Got a day job and a lot happier now.
Need advice. I'm noob in the warehouse, i work in beer warehouse and there, we are trained to always build on the pallet in the pyramid style, but often times i run into a problem where i end up with big gaps that i have nothing in the order to fill, so i flip the stakes to fill the space, but this later causes another empty space on different side of the pallet and often times have nothing in the order to fill it, so i end up building taller pallets. The manager of the warehouse is also with 20 years of experience, but he only cares about the orders being done and doesn't really care to teach newbies like me how to be space efficient and to build stable pallets, so i end up watching videos like this. I also make that mistake of playing tetris when building the pallet, and often i can't figure out how to use all the space without leaving a hole that later tears my stretch. When for example, i have in the order 20 stakes of 2 liter bottles of beer, i can build a solid base, but when i have 40 items in the order, all 1 to 3 stakes, and with different shapes and sizes, it is difficult for a beginner to figure out how to build a stable, space efficient pallet, when no one teaches you how to start and what to put on what. I often times end up putting whatever smaller thing fits best on the bigger thing and later i just wrap it more with the stretch wrap to keep it stable. We use Euro pallets, don't know if this is relevant. Thanks for the tutorial.
I would say to join Discord and if you can post pictures that would help me understand what you're doing
Drives me crazy to see people putting milk and juice on its side, one guy put eggs on its side, I had to stop him and say something
Eggs on their sides is more common now
Would’ve been the last time you said something to anyone if it was me. Wasting time and killing my percentage 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent video 🔥💯
Thanks!
I be having plenty of gaps but the slip sheet be holding it together 😂
My trainer hipped me on to that 😂😂 but still can’t hit a 140 😢
@boemyricks6492 being on the correct side of the jack when coming up to the slot, getting on ur jack just to go 2 slots up when u could if walked it, all that time adds up
Could you clarify what you mean by positioning the jack, say a slot is on the right side? For example, are you suggesting moving the jack closer to the right side and positioning it a certain number of inches ahead?
@@user-ci9tl2mk2b FACTS
😆 I have heard the word tetris a lot
Hate it
Ya heard that term before, why do trainers think If u played tetras u can stack. Lol. I been shown how they do it but not actually been instructed how to stack properly. All I been told is it's like tetras. I always have to be quick. Hope your videos help me to do a better job then my trainer.
At Kroger u get onions and potatoes in the same isle but usually we level out and put a pallet before stacking boxes on top
Your videos are more helpful than my trainer does
Definitely happy to help! Come to our Discord community if you haven't already
I started at Sysco not too long ago and honestly that job really isn't that hard, but the damn stacking is getting to me so bad. Stuff keeps falling over and can't get past 50%. Will they fire me after 90 days if I can't hit 100%?
I'm not at Sysco but on Discord we have a lot of people who work there
When I was a new selector at my old warehouse, I only got 2 days training and right when i was on my own I seemed to always get big orders, 250-300 cases which meant a lot of canned stuff and spaghetti sauces. Since my trainer didn't teach me anything I had to figure it out for myself and let me tell you i dropped a lot of pallets in my first 4 to 5 weeks, I had little trouble with the detergent orders and the water orders, but the canned goods and dog food was a nightmare.
Proper training is a must
That first dude got screwed i mean whyyyy would those onions be first on their order
3:23 i would of got fired for that. ah hell nah💀
Im kinda slow what do you mean with a 5 like the last number digit or the number for the box i be skiping my breaks and stll get a low score
Im not 100% sure what you are asking?
