This came out of the mouth of the driver for one of our major distributors.
What did they forget to turn on?
The fucking trailer. A reefer trailer carrying frozen food from Colorado to Texas. Most of the trailer was filled with stuff for my store, the rest being for another store in the company in the next city.
Tip: Refuse the delivery if they open the trailer and melted ice cream pours out. That's the first delivery we've refused since I've been with the company (15 months). The bottom of the pallets (where it would be coldest) were still well above freezing - about 40F - with the tops around 65F (outside temp at the time).
Ironically, the truck we get from our corporate distribution center isn't even frozen, just refrigerated. But they pack the frozen pallets on that truck with tons of dry ice. If this distributor had done that, everything but the ice cream would have been fine.
What really stinks is most of our frozen products come in from the forgetful distributor, and we REALLY needed that product. Frozen gets to look really empty until Saturday.
