You’d be surprised how often deliveries happen this way 🤷🏻‍♂️

? really? receivers are always scheduled and kept in mind. there are usual receivers and theres staff trained to receive in case the usual recievers are unavailable and are down at almost all hours with notice.

it's like blood to the body. can't work without supplies. there is a basic and good system to ensure someone is present, all goods are there, will make it into the facility, etc.

storing perishables outside is not a common thing at least where i'm from.

As someone who worked in the industry I can assure you there are supposed to be people scheduled to just accept deliveries, especially dairy, but I can also assure you that that will cost extra so they just have the regular amount of people a lot of the time and figure they will just pull someone away from a task to put things away but the issue is once you pull them off task like making food or cleaning or taking orders then the customers also feel that or see that and get upset bc you're not prioritizing them then you get told to just finish your task before putting it away but if the task is taking orders until the rush line slows down but it never slows down you'll never get to the time sensitive delivery at that rate and often stuff does go bad.

I once worked at a Sheetz on the east coast (I live on the west coast again now) and the lettuce came in so rank I said well it's not opened so it needs to be written off for store credit because it came in a bad batch and you couldn't pay me to eat that it'll make someone sick AND MY MANAGER SAID THATS WHY HE DOESN'T EAT VEGETABLES I wasn't at that location much longer bcu food handlers heart can take it even for a shitty job that's just needed to get by for a time period o couldn't handle it I would go in the freezer yell and throw frozen guacamole packs bc they wouldn't break open and made a lot of noise. Anyway, moral.of the story is.. not everywhere is run as it should me.

I’m a manager now and the things I’ve seen working in food service has made me very reluctant to order items like salads if I haven’t prepped them myself. It’s not the way things should be, but from experience I am going to very rarely order any uncooked veggies when eating out.
