The bakery people are always nice to us when we get their frostings off the truck. Oh, i found something quite interesting about local 540's contract. Do you know how they always threaten to write people up for not conditioning their department? Well in section 2 of Local 540's duties it says nothing about straightening up a department. I was going to use this against them for the two clerks they threaten to write up because they ran out of time.

seems that there was a big violation in my union contract today. Have a new bakery managet and she does not seem to understand.
very very very fine print in our contract says that if I take over the bakery products to them and the deli items ( along with telling them that the meat department loves them ) that they are to give me a cookie. Been doing this for twelve year and never failed to get a free cookie. But for now they just do not understang the contract language. Guess they will find out on the next truck that this person is on strike and they will have to get their own **** from now on.
Management does not want to get involved in this but the distric HR person was in and told them to just give me the cookie and shut him up for now.
Well, The Deli or Bakery never gets there stuff out of my freezer, the COs have a hard time trying to get my truck in the freezer because theres 7 pallets of deli/bakery in my freezer, it gets on my damn nerve.
lol those lazy ass meat department ****ers have about 7 skids in our freezer that they havent touched in the last 7 days. I swear a half skid comes in almost everyday we get a truck and they still havent touched the skids from the past 5 trucks.
I don't blame management for not getting involved. That seems too messy. Maybe the new manager needs new reading glasses in order to see the fine print. Hopefully she will get the message after this next truck or I'm afraid you would have to get the union involved. That cannot continue like that!

I've discovered that deli managers will always order too much if they're not the ones who have actually break down the order and put it away. If your order 5 cases of something and you only put out two, why are you ordering 5 more to come in the next day? Those two cases you put out probably aren't going to sell out in a day. So now you have 8 cases of something that you have to find a spot for in the freezer. I usually do the breakout for the bakery and I write down what bread dough needs to be ordered. Except during Thanksgiving and Christmas, everything I order always fits on the shelf where it belongs. Nobody else in the department can say the same thing. The decorators always order way too many cakes. The deli always orders too much chicken. Last week, the chef shop ordered a bunch of stuff that hasn't been touched and yesterday they ordered even more. Why?
My bakery manager is notorious for ordering way too much, one of the co-managers has to keep telling her to slow way down on the ordering. She very rarely has to put it away, so it doesn't bother her... but then our freezer is a mess all the time stacked with boxes up to the ceiling.

Here is a typical day for our deli manager:
1. Pull out 3 or 4 of those green u-boat carts stacked full of product out of the freezer and leave them where they're in the way.
2. Disappear for a good hour or more.
3. Put out one or two boxes of product.
4. Upload the orders. This only takes a few minutes but you can count on her being gone for at least an hour or more.
5. Come back at the end of the day and complain about this and this not being done and wondering what we've been doing with our time.
6. After they've been sitting out for 7 hours or more, have someone push the carts back into the freezer.
lol those lazy ass meat department ****ers have about 7 skids in our freezer that they havent touched in the last 7 days. I swear a half skid comes in almost everyday we get a truck and they still havent touched the skids from the past 5 trucks.
Move it to the front of the freezer and you'll get results. We asked the frozen department do this and now it gets worked often.

Dry humor. Though I guess it would depend on the type of cookie if any panties are getting bunched up.
