Back docks... where I live, they're frigid in the winter and scorching in the summer. I remember one time they installed doors between the back hall and the dock, killing any chance of store A/C reaching the dock. It just seems like at some point, someone is going to get hurt from the extreme heat/cold. We have a fan, but it just moves teh hot air around some. Put a thermometer in the salvage trailer once some years back, well over 120 degrees IIRC -not much "cooler" on the dock itself- That's brutal!

Dear Goldilocks,
That's normal. You work at any job that has delivery trucks coming and going all the time and it's going to be like that. As far as it being 120 degrees inside the salvage trailer goes, you normally don't work inside the trailer except to move stuff in or out.
Kroger isn't your friend and is no longer a "wonderful" job nor employment. It sucks in two words. You're basically a slave with a paycheck kissing @$$ all day long. Do your self a favor and do one of two: get a new job or go back to school and go down to four days a week. You're pretty much stuck at minimum wage for 4+ years and that's if you can get off the courtesy/helper clerk pay scale. In addition to Kroger not playing with your hours.

I wonder what the conditions are at back docks at walmart...

Lol.
This was years ago but I doubt things have changed.
They don't use pallets very often. They load the trailers by hand from top to bottom using roller type conveyer.
So, imagine being in the 120 degree trailer for 30 minutes to an hour hand stacking everything on a roller to get the stuff in the hot back room.
I got a busted water pipe under my bakery floor. Anytime we do dishes and then let the water out, it goes down the little drain, then 6 feet to the right it just starts to seep up out of the ground making a big ol puddle. Its a slow seep... squeegee it, come back 5 minutes later, squeegee again.. again.. Mgmt knows, don't want to fix it cause its gonna be expensive and very disruptive going through tile and all... Lame.
As for our backroom, its the same story. They got the lady who works receiving a big fan she has propped on a table by her desk. That's about it. Some days its Hot- other days it Cold. Those doors are big, and they open and close A Lot. And that room is Huge and Tall and probably not well insulated.
our dock is nothing more than concrete block. You'd think they'd work to make it a more comfortable environment since the DSD clerk and grocery clerks spend so much time back there. IDK about you, but when I'm sweating thru my shorts, I'm not in any mood to hustle. Of course the deli women would get offended if I take my shirt off to try to stay cool. As if they don't have tits
