stacking things on top of the 4 pack gallon waters. It never works. Every day we have to fumble with 10 or so cases of this crap. Never fails, they're smashed, leaking, etc. Usually they've leaked all over the boxes and when you pick them up, the water stays on the pallet while you hold the floppy, wet box remnants. They also like to stack on top of 2Liter sodas which always shift in unison. So many dumped pallets from this poor technique
Dam, that stack looks great. I would trade you pallets in a heart beat.
My warehouse stacks the 2 liters sideways along with the 12 packs. I have gotten pallets that are vegetables stacked straight up a side, bulk paper towels on the other side covered with 1000# of softener salt. First I have to unstack the pallet of 800#s of dog food that fell over on it before I can get it out of the truck tho.

I'm still waiting for someone from a warehouse to post on the forum. I'd love to do a Q&A with one
We found smears of something on the floor last night, as if some had stepped in a dog pile. Nope--someone had crapped in the truck between pallets. Actual human crap on the sales floor in canned goods.
Plus the usual lousy loading, with two pallets fallen over on one truck.

...but I'd settle for a nerve or two.
try the frozen loads where 90% of the boxes come in with a hole in the side of them that manages to puncture/damage 1 unit in every single box. They must use a hook to grab the boxes out of the frozen area in the warehouse so they don't have to go in the cold. the amount of damage to be scanned out is incredible. I just let it pile up in the freezer and scan it out once a week because I don't have time to do it on a daily basis. You say something to management about it and they just look at you like what do you want me to do about it.

Speak to your District Department Coordinator by email and get his cell phone number. Take pics of damage and send them to him. He will forward it to the warehouse and get it corrected for a little while atleast.
My District Coordinator told me to send him emails when I have mispicks that I think are mis slotted in the warehouse. He will let them know.

I've had this problem. It will not go away completely, but it doesn't have to be the quantity that you describe. On a daily basis I scan out about 5-10 items that are punctured this way.
