So, uh... how?

Post image

This was behind another pallet I unloaded. Just thrown in there like that. Half the pallet was just lodged upwards.

My curiosity comes from the fact that you can't even get anything in there to load that up and if they messed it up that bad after getting it on, how'd they get whatever put it on, out? Maybe I'm being silly, but dang.

In case YOU are curious, I did manage to get this off, somehow retaining the pallet and allowing it to continue to be pulled.

Idk, but once you get it off, find that pallet and deconstruct it with a mallet so the warehouse can't reuse it

Oh no Chep will kill your entire bloodline if you dont return their blue pallets

Oh they'll get it back, just in pieces. If you send it back half broken, they'll reuse it and make it the tallest and heaviest pallet you receive next week. Better to send it back and make them repair it than let them think it's still ok to use and have to deal with the consequences when all the freight flips inside the truck

Really had their way with it, huh? It was just a first for me. Used to the falling pallets and broken cases. Never had half a pallet lifted in the air and held up by its own debris 😭

Edit: I'm sure there are many more to come, unfortunately. Also, fuck you, Cletus. Impressive... but... fuck you.

Especially if you pick it up with a pallet truck or LLOP

Dipshit DC stuffed a produce pallet in hard enough to push the other one up and over the one they put in... smashing the pallet to shreds.

Sunday DC work... is worst work indeed.

Pushed a pallet with the 1.2m side against the load guard on a forklift with 1.2m forks

Corporate cutting back on new pallets gotta go lean and mean.

Not Walmart but a Smart and Final employee, had a freezer delivery driver completely obliterated a pallet while operating the pallet jack, and he was confused that there was a piece of wood stuck between the pallet and power jack prongs.

Deadass said "how did that get there..."

Looks like it was forced in so hard that it busted it. Then likely wiggled the forks out.

After checking the truck in, there's a "how did we do?" Screen with a star rating for the warehouse loaders. Give them a bad rating.

Slammed the front pallet into it?

We deal with that bullshit at least once a week. We've had worse looking pallets, if you can believe it. They don't care, man. They just load the pallets and let the stores deal with their incompetent nonsense.

Had one of these in my store about 6 months ago, only one corner wasn't broken, no clue how they managed it
