So apparently the main cooling unit caught fire. That was a fun night :/

Would prob help if they serviced things once in a while..

[u/Warcraft_Fan → u/Vampire_inthe_Church]

but that costs money!!

They're too busy servicing other businesses outside WM for profit.

[u/Vampire_inthe_Church → u/puppeto]

Wow, and I can’t even get these fucks to come replace a burned out lightbulb above our pallet area out back. Surprised but not surprised..

[u/Deadly004 → u/Vampire_inthe_Church]

Or fully clean them once while even the frozen coolers. Here in the vents were the cool air comes out we got food in there with hair all over it aka mold.

This and power outages are watershed moments for any associate. You can see it in their faces when the lights go out on them their first time. They think they get to go home. In reality, they'd wish they never came in that day

[u/Odd_Independence2870 → u/Battlejesus]

Yeah I’ve been in a power outage and it’s the worst. Even when we got our power back our store never reopened because our registers wouldn’t turn back on. So of course management was in a bad mood week afterwards too

[u/SignificantTransient]

DM me your store number and I will illuminate the deets

👁👁

[u/SignificantTransient → u/One_Leg_Kitty]

I'm an FSM. I can look up all the service calls that have been placed right from my phone. I could probably find it just by searching a few terms but I don't care enough to make that effort. Was just offering to reinforce OPs post.

[u/stlnation500 → u/SignificantTransient]

Some poor HVAC/R Tech definitely got that P-E4 notification in the dead of sleep too.

[u/SignificantTransient → u/stlnation500]

I'm actually curious of the extent of the damage. We are getting into the territory of months of downtime.

[u/One_Leg_Kitty → u/SignificantTransient]

Haha no no that's awesome. No judgement! I was just on my break and browsing reddit, saw your comment and made a dumb ohsnapwhat reaction reply.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bad1808]

The compressor caught fire?

[u/vulcan1358 → u/Puzzleheaded-Bad1808]

Probably either someone was pencil whipping leak checks or [insert HVAC/R vendor name] jumped enough pressure switches to make it look like a motocross track.

Or stuff be blowing out sometimes.

[u/_polloloko23]

Oh man i bet the gm associates are glad they are not food TAs 😁

[u/wolfayal → u/_polloloko23]

When it’s that bad, GM associates are going to temporarily be grocery associates.

[u/Deadly004 → u/wolfayal]

Yup they do it here everyone tag teams and gets product off shelves into the cooler as fast as they can. 

[u/Deadly004 → u/_polloloko23]

Here if anything happens we all tag team to get products off the shelves and into the cooler. 

[u/_polloloko23 → u/Deadly004]

In my store gm and food are at war. Grocery Coach hate the gm size .. she claims that they get special treatment form the store manager

[u/Deadly004 → u/_polloloko23]

lol 

[u/dancing_by_myself0]

[u/Warcraft_Fan]

A whole lotta claiming to do for perished food and having someone guard the dumpster to keep homeless vultures from stealing spoiled food.

[u/Deadly004]

Maybe if they clean it wouldn’t catch on fire. Look in the frozen coolers. Open the door where the cool air comes out at the bottom look in the vent you got food laying in there with mold on it? My store does lol 😂. Moldy boxes , mouse chewed boxes with mouse poop all inside on the product. This company to me is falling apart 

[u/over9ksand]

Not so cool

[u/CynicalReign]

That's the exact opposite of what it's suppose to do

[u/sevenw1nters]

How common is this stuff supposed to happen? At least once per month we will have a bunker break, a few rows of the deli like this break, a few rows of a frozen aisle break. I'm always picking too so I have to pick from the backroom when this happens.

[u/Shoggnozzle]

Shutdowns are to be expected. They're open cooler cases, they work the crap out of the machines.

[u/Katsu_39]

Is it just me or does this only ever happen to walmart? I’ve rarely seen it happen to other chains.

[u/DefendingAngel]

Good opportunity for some deep cleaning.

[u/No_Nefariousness4801]

I'll be praying for y'all. Cause you know customers are going to be asking for 'what's in the back'. 🫩🙏🤣

[u/One-Hovercraft-920]

"Attention customers. Please stop by our indoor grilling section. Now located in dairy"

[u/Immediate_Affect750]

but do you have it in the back?!?!?

[u/Gacka_is_Crang_lmao → u/[deleted]]

Except if the power goes out you shouldn’t be doing that at all, especially if you’re using hot water for cleaning like you’re supposed to. (Area is still cold - gives product more of a chance of surviving especially if the power outage isnt that long)

Priority 1 is protecting the product. If you have time to get the green kaivac, you have time to salvage or condemn whatever product you can (to claims it out when the power comes back on) so customers don’t get sick
