Anybody know by chance how much supplies from various depts. can actually fit into the reserve freezers? I'm curious cause with it being the holidays and there being so much distro stuff coming through to the bakery, we have to send much of it to the back freezers. And it's starting to tick off the meat dept. something fierce. My team leader can't give a flying fudge, but yea, having to deal with the beef of it all when your the lucky one having to take stuff back there(mind you without much help), it can be kind of like standing in front of a firing squad or something at times, when other depts. are looking at where you are going with so much stuff.
Each store has a different size freezer so it's hard to say but if the meat department is taking up that much room then your store really should get a reefer truck to put all meat department's extra turkeys and hams in.
The distro's really are annoying, they sent me tons and tons of pudding cakes during the last period when they were on the meat dept. table and they weren't even selling.

From what I heard, those distros are going to become a regular occurrence. I guess they think we're too stupid to know how much product we need to order. We got between 25 and 30 cases of pudding cakes that we didn't order sent to us each week. We just kept them all together on a u-boat truck in our bakery freezer.
Some of that stuff that you got in for bakery can go ahead and be put it out for sale. I know some of those cookie trays get a long shelf life. Hawaiian Rolls get a 15 day shelf life. Even if you don't put them all out on the salesfloor, you can leave them out of the freezer. We do it and I've been in bakery close to 25 years. I've bought them and they're perfectly fine. Just be sure not to leave out more than what you think you're going to need for Thanksgiving. Other types of bread such as the Rubschlager ****tail rye bread get an exceptionally long shelf life. A lot of the stuff they send out has a "sell by date" on it. If it's past Christmas, go ahead and put it out. Other items will have the days shelf life in the most recent price book. Usually it's in the front.

Apparently the censor software thinks c o c k t a i l is a bad word.

Yea, we've actually been putting out a lot of stuff. Mainly a ton of King's Hawaiian, and we can barely keep muffins out there any more. Just the annoying as ever thing is these 12" inch pies that keep coming in left and right. Not to mention we have way too much bread dough and chocolate chip cookies as well. Added to that we are getting all kinds of stuff like that, but we are barely getting in the regular stuff that we actually needed. I guess/fingers crossed it will change once we settle in more to the new store and some kind of routine.

That works in a normal sized store. In my home store you could put several of the wheelers and uboats in no problem. In my new store though the freezer is literally a closet. So all this distro crap gets shoved in the main freezer and there's no rhyme or reason to all the wheelers that's in there already.
The only time we've been able to rent one is when they were replacing the back room freezer. Took 3 weeks working out of that reefer and it was hell lol.
