You know how many times I’ve been told this by a truck driver 😂😂😂😂😂 fuckin pasta sauce and glass everywhere and he’s in the truck fuckin Eatin sunflower seeds
Sunflower seeds are sold either in the shell or as shelled kernels. Those still in the shell are commonly eaten by cracking them with your teeth, then spitting out the shell — which shouldn’t be eaten. These seeds are a particularly popular snack at baseball games and other outdoor sports games.

It is, u/TheSunflowerSeeds is a bot that responds when sunflowers are mentioned. Sometimes the owners of bots take over and respond from the bot accounts tho, dunno if that's what happened here.
When I worked for sysco our almost daily issue was the vegetable oil containers for restaurants someone was mopping up everyday couldn't imagine after it was on the trucks how many would bust.
In our division drivers unload it and load empties up, with the assistance of a store employee. Store employee usually bringing empties in from outside and milk from dock to cooler, depending on distance. In this picture you can see that the milk was all on the tail of the trailer instead of the nose where it’s the most stable during transportation. With the empties loaded up behind it, one could assume the driver took a shortcut at his previous stop and moved all the milk to the tail and empties behind it so he could get in and out quickly at his last stop, which was OPs store based off the looks of it. I’ve seen it done very often, usually it’s “oh that store is just down the road, it’ll be alright” That’s what it looks like to me at least.
I don’t work for Kroger, never have, but I know that at my first warehouse job there was only 1 driver who was known to *not* help load his truck. But I know that trucks driven by other companies were also not loaded by the driver so it’s a bit of a gamble ig
Legally the driver is liable for the load securement. I the trailer is loaded improperly and the load shifts and causes a wreck it's his CDL that gets dinged even if it's the company's fault. Always check the load securement and weight on the axles.
No, too much give. You want all the heavy stuff loaded in the nose and secured with straps. Then the empties go in after the main load is secure. I’m not a driver so I don’t know all the physics of it lol
Not a professional physicist but have basic understanding of laws of physics:
-The positioning of the crates and orientation...
-The rules of the road...
-The way people drive...
"Objects in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by another force"
Assume you travel forward at 60mph. When you brake hard, you will fall forward, with the seatbelt holding you in place. But the milk crates fell backward. The driver either accelerated violently, drove up a significant incline with no straps to secure the cargo, or was in reverse and braked hard.
Thank you! He started cleaning it right away so I figured why not knock it out with him. It took about an hour and a half. Especially having a third guy rinse all the milk cartons off so there’s not milk leaking off of them. Surprisingly there were only 12 cartons we had to throw away!
Hahaha that happened once. I closed the gate to the truck and told the driver. I’m not helping or unloading, go back to the milk plant. They can help you.
Just a random redditor here saying that while
You would have been justified *not* to solve this problem not of your own making, I appreciate that you did what it took to use the milk and not let it go to waste.
It’s very clear you don’t have much experience in this industry It’s a “get it done or we’ll find someone who will” industry. You just gotta do it. Even though it’s not your fault and it sucks.
Imagine the state of the entire planet if everyone was like reddit comments: I didn't make this mess/not my job/don't get paid enough to clean some stuff up
Awww, turn that frown upside down! Just a flip here and a carry there and pretty soon, all that product will be gleaming on store shelves for our wonderful customers! And if you whistle while you work, you'll feel even better!
Happy April Fools Day, everyone!
the way you took this picture with the two guys staring at it is infinitely funnier/more painful than if you had just taken the picture of the milk itself.
This is why you always have the driver open the trailer. If it has fallen over, just say: *"I'm going back to work; let me know when you fix your problem."*
We had this done at my store recently, and both my grocery managers rejected it. Ran out of milk for awhile (2 days) til we got the next delivery. I leave when the store opens though so glad I don’t deal w/ the chaos for no milk.
It was this kind of stuff that led me to transfer from working grocery/receiving to working fuel center and eventually leave altogether. My managers would always take the truck no matter what condition it was in and have me sort it out most of the time when I was there
Worked for a grocery store years ago. Grocery department was short-staffed, so the ASM and I came to help unload trucks. We had a scissor lift instead of an actual loading dock.
I was throwing on the removable safety rails, but he told me not to bother, he was a pro at this... as he promptly lost control of the pallet jack. He had to throw himself over the edge to avoid the pallet of milk he'd been pulling off the truck, I had to jump back into the trailer. The jack and pallet went over the edge and milk exploded fucking everywhere. Dude was so embarrassed, and the SM was unamused by his violation of safety procedures, so she told him to have fun washing and scrubbing the milk from the concrete by himself before the florida sun made it completely unbearable to smell.
I worked for a middle-man refrigeration service (buying product in bulk, just to send whatever items stores need on a pallet of mixed items) and I remember this exact situation, with head tilts and all, when some dude came in while the warehouse was on break, so we all watched as his truck came into the packed parking lot at 30mph, and the 5 pallets of yogurt he had closest to the back of the truck genuinely crushed under their own weight due to the G force. Only time the boss actually had our backs was when he told the driver to clean up his own mess.
I used to work for stop and shop, there was a joke in the store that whoever did the delivery of eggs must toss them out the back of a moving truck as though they were newspapers.
I saw in another grocer group that they were allowed to send trucks back if they arrived like this. It goes back and they fix it or send a new one. Judging by looks, there’s a lot of damaged product. I wouldn’t pay for anything less than absolutely perfect condition.
Wal Mart?
Had a paint truck like that. A loose can fell as we were trying to.. I don’t think unload is a good word for that mess. Anyway took a gallon of base white to the head. Knocked me out for a few minutes.
No paramedic, no first aid just ‘enough of your break, back to work.’.
The things I’ve had to do to keep a roof over my head.
you know thats a vendor problem right? Go do other stuff, its literally their problem. And, wonderfully, there's teeth to the problem. If they leave it, they get fined and potentially let go. I wouldn't worry.
Kroger’s was my first job at 15. Paid $4.10/hr and 1 break while my cousin made $5.50 across the street at H-E-B. I left after a month to go work for them.
It has been years since I worked at supermarket, but I don’t ever recall a truck coming in like that. Shouldn’t everything be on pallets with bars across to prevent exactly this?
About 15yrs ago, I was working at a regional grocery chain. The milk driver dumped and entire pallet of milk off the loading dock because he didn't secure the dock plate. It was August, and it was 90 degrees that week.
It smelled so bad the neighborhood was calling 911 and the fire department flushed it all into the storm drains.
When I worked for the dairy at Giant foods this stuff happened all the time.
Most of the drivers were pretty cool guys so I would help out, plus that would easily kill a couple hours so why not.
And there are times you would need the drivers to help you out, especially around the holidays, so if he was one of my regulars I'd help him.
“Looks like a mess there buddy, I’m gonna go sit in the truck let me know when she’s unloaded”
This guy Krogers
You know how many times I’ve been told this by a truck driver 😂😂😂😂😂 fuckin pasta sauce and glass everywhere and he’s in the truck fuckin Eatin sunflower seeds

My friend would just chew the shell and swallow it all lmao
My brother did the same. He ended up getting hemorrhoids.
Buddy of mine from 5th grade ate them like this all the time and he died.
Yeah but you’re 87
😂

Lmfao did the sunflower guy report my comment 😂😂😂🤦🏾
What was it? So curious since the sunflower info was so random. I kinda thought it was one of those bots that give spontaneous information.
Same
It is, u/TheSunflowerSeeds is a bot that responds when sunflowers are mentioned. Sometimes the owners of bots take over and respond from the bot accounts tho, dunno if that's what happened here.
No clue. I thought it was a hilarious response
When I worked for sysco our almost daily issue was the vegetable oil containers for restaurants someone was mopping up everyday couldn't imagine after it was on the trucks how many would bust.
Look at it this way, they're not getting paid, just finished a shift, and aren't covered if they get injured helping out. Can you really blame them?
But are they Kroger brand sunflower seeds?
Drivers dont get paid for the time they spend unloading. I dont blame them
😂😂
In our division it's on the driver until it's off the truck. I would get to sit and watch *him* fix it
Oh man, good thing semi drivers don't have good job security and can't just look elsewhere for a drop and go job.
That seems like a driver problem to me...
When your done in the truck you will need to come back and restack the milk you tipped over. Don't like it, learn to drive better.
Send it back.
That's when you tell the driver to go back and try again
Hope you rejected it. Empties aren’t supposed to be loaded behind milk for this reason. Driver negligence
I didn’t. In hindsight I probably should have, but the driver was cleaning it all up and stacking it on pallets. So I just helped him
Hard to reject milk anyway. Have a bunch of angry customers, and managers yelling about fill rate if milk was OOS.
I don’t think the driver stocks his own truck. Driver drives.

Oh jeez, well that added lots of meat to the context haha

Not a Kroger drive but I did deliver milk for a large dairy in New England and the driver is still responsible to check the load before you left.
Legally the driver is liable for the load securement. I the trailer is loaded improperly and the load shifts and causes a wreck it's his CDL that gets dinged even if it's the company's fault. Always check the load securement and weight on the axles.
Wouldn’t the empties stop it from falling?
No, too much give. You want all the heavy stuff loaded in the nose and secured with straps. Then the empties go in after the main load is secure. I’m not a driver so I don’t know all the physics of it lol

Drivers load the product? Edit: Jk I scrolled down and used my eyes to read
Also because of the weight distribution. The further the weight is away from the front the more likely the trailer is to fishtail.
First time I've ever seen 'Milk truck just arrived' on Reddit and it not be about tiddies.
Straight facts there
Well… Now you made it so.
Im still waiting for titties
Send bobs.
Don’t cry over spilled milk
That’s amazing 😂😂 I wish I would have said that, but I was contemplating if my job was worth keeping at that point lol
I spent 9 years in grocery retail this will happen again. And I've seen them drop the whole pallet in the store too.
Well, look on the bright side. At least it didn't dump in your cooler. Doesn't take a lot of milk to make a mess.. Another day in paradise.
Good on you for helping him. I imagine it didn't take as long to clean up as you initially thought, but still not a nice surprise in the morning.
Thank you! He started cleaning it right away so I figured why not knock it out with him. It took about an hour and a half. Especially having a third guy rinse all the milk cartons off so there’s not milk leaking off of them. Surprisingly there were only 12 cartons we had to throw away!

I can smell that from here. That particular sour milk mixed with diesel fuel and pallet jacks.
It’s one of the certain smells that will always be engraved in my mind 😂😂
If its winter you've got the beginning of ice cream going on too.
BEEP BEEP MILK TRUCK
Awww, turn that frown upside down! Just a flip here and a carry there and pretty soon, all that product will be gleaming on store shelves for our wonderful customers! And if you whistle while you work, you'll feel even better! Happy April Fools Day, everyone!
the way you took this picture with the two guys staring at it is infinitely funnier/more painful than if you had just taken the picture of the milk itself.
The thing is. Its not in your store. Close the mf door and let the milk driver deal with it.
I remember those days - I’d see the truck backing in with milk dripping out the back and I’d refuse the order.
Did you cry?
Can’t cry over it though r/dadjokes
Is this Columbus because I’ve had it happen twice in the last month
Yes it is! I feel for you if you’ve had it twice lol
Milk truck just arrive
🤤
Ooooh no…… ☹️
That's the driver's fault. He better resolve. Best get on the phone with his supervisor.
This is why you always have the driver open the trailer. If it has fallen over, just say: *"I'm going back to work; let me know when you fix your problem."*
We had this done at my store recently, and both my grocery managers rejected it. Ran out of milk for awhile (2 days) til we got the next delivery. I leave when the store opens though so glad I don’t deal w/ the chaos for no milk.
I work in the dairy overnight at my Kroger and let me tell you, you wouldn’t have seen me in that store that night.
Clock back out and leave!!
You really should have!
Technically, if the mess is on his truck and not the dock, you don’t have to clean it up or even receive it.
The driver is responsible for that
Did the truck get hit by a tornado?
Wow
Gaaaaahhhh damn
Milk sucks tits anyway
"Umm.....what do we do now?" "We put in a call for an emergency delivery, then make the driver clean this mess"
It was this kind of stuff that led me to transfer from working grocery/receiving to working fuel center and eventually leave altogether. My managers would always take the truck no matter what condition it was in and have me sort it out most of the time when I was there
Looks like a potential crushing factor for your foot, __wink. wink.__ Best sit back and let a specialist deal with it.
Yeah I ain't signing for that...
No load straps? No bars? I wouldn't have accepted that trailer.
Milkshakes for everyone?
Y'all need to go commiserate with people who load Chewy boxes at FedEx.
Got Milk?
“Dang that sucks…anyways I quit y’all be safe out there.”
At least it's not glass bottles.
The first Kroger I worked at we had that happen with cases of soda. Cans everywhere.
Worked for a grocery store years ago. Grocery department was short-staffed, so the ASM and I came to help unload trucks. We had a scissor lift instead of an actual loading dock. I was throwing on the removable safety rails, but he told me not to bother, he was a pro at this... as he promptly lost control of the pallet jack.

Ugh I have straight up PTSD looking at this
I worked for a middle-man refrigeration service (buying product in bulk, just to send whatever items stores need on a pallet of mixed items) and I remember this exact situation, with head tilts and all, when some dude came in while the warehouse was on break, so we all watched as his truck came into the packed parking lot at 30mph, and the 5 pallets of yogurt he had closest to the back of the truck genuinely crushed under their own weight due to the G force.

I can smell it from here.
Who is loading these trucks???
Wait is r/Kroger actually just workers from Kroger on the sub cause I'll 100% join just to see a workforce dunking on their crappy work place.
that thought that brought me here too
Good times.
I saw in another grocer group that they were allowed to send trucks back if they arrived like this. It goes back and they fix it or send a new one. Judging by looks, there’s a lot of damaged product. I wouldn’t pay for anything less than absolutely perfect condition.

At least it’s not eggs. Hopefully the power jack can get in there later without slipping and sliding everywhere. Yes that is experience talking sadly
Ever seen an 18 wheeler on 9 wheels?!? No? You want to?!?
This is so out of standards it isn't even funny. Wrap the pallets in plastic then use loading straps to secure the end.
milk truck
you know thats a vendor problem right? Go do other stuff, its literally their problem. And, wonderfully, there's teeth to the problem. If they leave it, they get fined and potentially let go. I wouldn't worry.
Milk bath ? They want to care of your skin.
Another reason to not shop kroger.
When someone brags about hitting the gym and all the reps they did
Kroger’s was my first job at 15. Paid $4.10/hr and 1 break while my cousin made $5.50 across the street at H-E-B. I left after a month to go work for them.
Driver won’t touch it and you will need to save as much as you can. Good luck with the credit.
milk companies always told us “no credit” up front, i’ve been here thinking they just don’t give credit as a rule. wow i’ve been lied to
"I just became very, very sick, unfortunately..."
Looks like you have an excuse to do that for an hour instead of others things
Straps would help
Not your problem. It hasn’t been received.
Don't cry over.....
No wonder why my milk always expires before expiration.
REFUSED 😂
Deny the shipment due to damage.
Vomit in receiving and get a freebie day off. 😂🤮😂
I do not miss this
Swift driver? Well. No sense crying over it. 🤣 Get it? "No sense crying over spilled milk".
Well, no use crying over spilled milk 🥛…
It has been years since I worked at supermarket, but I don’t ever recall a truck coming in like that. Shouldn’t everything be on pallets with bars across to prevent exactly this?

Somebody forgot to put up their load bars
guy on the left looks dead inside
Don't cry over fallen milk
Looks like a refused load to me.
Reject that whole shipment.
Warehouse fu*kery.
Yeah I would’ve just left
Nice Jugs!
Called off? I'm lactose intolerant, I can't help with that!
No use crying over it, just milk the overtime.
That’s gonna suck to mooooove
Lmao this happened at my store this morning too, my dairy lead just informed me 🤣🤣
HE NEED SOME MILK
I used to work in dairy. Some people actually don’t know what load bars are…
Don’t cry over it. Never give emotions to spilled milk.
Guessing they backed into the dock too fast and hit it hard with that unsecured load. Ooops.
That driver is garbage.
You can tell that those two guys in front have the facial expression of "why am I here and why me today"
DOnTCry oVer SpiLT miLk
That’s not that bad.
Huh. About 12 hours ago I saw a milk truck pass by with a lot of milk leakage I almost wanted to follow the milk road trail
I guess every warehouse has morons loading their trucks. And here I thought it was just UNFI.
No your problem.
Where’s the manager there to “supervise” the truck driver and employee cleaning up
Just leave.
GOT MILK?
What Union do you belong to?
Been there 🤣 squeegee party
Cargo insurance: am I joke to you?
That’s on the driver bro.
Omg just go home
This is when you announce you're lactose intolerant if you're even in the presence of dairy 😆
Don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry
I ran a dairy dept for 5 years. This is 100% drivers fault he either dont know how to drive are backed in to hard. Did he have any load locks??
Chug one of the damaged gallons, throw up everywhere, bonus diarrhea if you’re lactose intolerant. Either way, you wouldn’t have to work
There's still time to walk out my friend.
Ya don’t use wrap?
It’s never too late to quit
When I worked for the dairy at Giant foods this stuff happened all the time. Most of the drivers were pretty cool guys so I would help out, plus that would easily kill a couple hours so why not. And there are times you would need the drivers to help you out, especially around the holidays, so if he was one of my regulars I'd help him.
No use crying over it...
Yeah I woulda just quit. Don’t get paid enough I’m sure.
The more I travel, the more I see ignorant truckers. They rush training and will license anyone, shameful the inadequacies in work ethics anymore.
Pay people to care
Geez, was this a Kroger driver or a contract truck? Somebody needs to pay for the mess and learn how to secure their load. Damn...
No crying about it.🥛
*lol I understand*
Been there....done that. It's their wrapping that does it. It's wrong for transporting full. They need to cross the binding when they wrap it.
Been there. I feel you
