Probably the most annoying night of unloading trucks ever. Murphy's Law was in full effect.
Problem 1: The morning crew either is understaffed or underworking (im more inclined to believe they are understaffed but it's still a pissoff) and left our recieving dock the fullest I have ever seen it with pallets overflowing to the sales floor.
Problem 2: We have 3 SKUDS. Morning crew didnt charge 1 and the second one started flashing the "Requires Maintenance" sign making it unusable.
Problem 3: Since 2/3 of the SKUDS are broken (capable of carrying 2 pallets) co-worker1 and I had to use forks (only one pallet). On my first load my warning light went flying off. Apparently it had been broken by someone who didnt bother reporting it and just screwed it back in loosely. That fork is now also unusable.
Problem 4: My 2nd Co-worker who was unloading the actual truck had a bad truck. It was too low in our door so there was almost a half a foot drop on entry and exit of the truck which would wreak havoc on his back and slow him down.
Problem 5: Whoever loaded up the truck decided the most efficient course of action was to have two pallets of lawn fertilizer next to eachother with a 500lb 3 box shed stretched across the two pallets overtop. Yah.....smart move guys.
Problem 6: Remember how I said we had 3 SKUDS and 2 didnt work? Reason why cw1 and I are on forks is because we had a third guy who works in our electronics area on SKUD since he isnt fork trained. He is one of those "gets too embarassed to ask how to do things so he doesnt look like an idiot but since he doesnt ask and never learns he screws things up and looks like a bigger idiot" kind of guys. He hit a cooler with his SKUD and when we asked him how hard he hit it he gave a deer in headlights looks and said "I hit something?".......sigh*
Problem 7: Due to poor stacking at the depot a pallet of liquid soap broke. Least our dock is semi clean I guess.
Problem 8: We also had broken soup, water, and a large spill of juice. Great....
Problem 9: At one point we had 4 different people playing "Leader" while only one of them is actually my boss. Guess which one I listened to?
And that was my FUBAR evening. Hopefully tonight goes a little bit smoother.
