I pulled in, just on time after getting caught up in traffic,near Nottingham.i pushed the intercom,and got straight on a bay.
I hand my keys in,and sit down.
2 hours later,they shout my number and Im away.. as Im walking back to the lorry,i notice the suspension doesn’t seem very high.i give the sides a push,and the ■■■■■■■ things still loaded :smiling_imp: back to goods in..and wait another 90 mins,before Im finally tipped .
whilst I was waiting(the second time),a young eastern euro came in…he was driving a rigid,and(by the look of his paperwork)was on pallet network type work.
apparently,they had rejected his load because he had rubbish from previous drops on the back door.
if any of you have been…you may have seen that horrible little ■■■■ of a manager…the one who weighs about 4 stone and wears a leeds utd lanyard around his neck.
anyway, the jumped up ■■■■ was standing there,telling this lad how “his” warehouse staff didn’t have time to work around the rubbish,because of kpis or whatever.it was at this point I nearly choked,so I stood up and walked over to the counter for a closer listen. this snivelling little toe rag,then tells the eastern euro,he has to go off site...move the pallets to the back,and the rubbish to the front...then come back :unamused: how the ■■■■....when you represent a company,so festooned with muppetry,can you stand there and talk down to someone with such obvious pleasure..the eastern euro was getting upset,and at one point I thought he was blubbing. it cut no ice with supertwerp though,"not my problem" he kept yapping."i dont want to have to move your(points) rubbish to get to my(points) goods"
anyway,the lad left,and that was that.
oh…and harry monk was in the waiting room…nice glasses harry
you slipped up there then … told your tipped all paperwork stamped Whoosh straight down to a corner shop see Mr Red dot do the deal and book your holiday
It would be great to bring this type of thing into the public eye, I for one have never purchased a thing from Tesco and never will.
These people need to start realising who pays their wages…the public, the same public that they speak like crap to!

In the days of Safeway Cribs Causeway RDC a driver came in with a ridged sat with us for 4 hours then got his notes saying he was a pallet of Jonny Walkers short , I said you wanna shoot home shove everything else in the garage an come back and say it was buried in the load .
They seem to have got a new security detail in at Snodland, what with former doors out of the building now cable tied off, “only to be used as emergency exits” etc. The new guys look like ex-nightclub bouncers as well, with the same demeanor to match.
I expect they had something pretty major nicked recently, that’s had the former old boys shown the door whilst we get a few less doors to look at ourselves.
Then there’s the new memo notices up around the building about nicking stuff, but they are strangely all in only English, rather than Ukranski & Polish as well, like the notices in the toilets… Is it considered un-PC to suggest that stuff going missing might not actually be the home grown staff or something?
One might think “pallet of whisky”, but what about some nice soft boxes of truffles or even the damage that occurs when a bod turns up with a frozen load, gets the third-degree from arse united, and won’t let jonny turn-up onto a bay to save their life! Hours and hours later, the load finally gets tipped, only to find that the fridge has since failed, and the whole lot is lost AFTER they’ve already unloaded and accepted it…
The waste in this damned business is legendary, but not exclusive to Tescos. Even Morrisons & Waitrose like to boast “We do things differently here”, and when it comes down to it there’s just as much stuff thrown away every day - but they like to make you wear smarter clothes, and pay you less for the privilege of working there!
Snarley:
How much longer before our Managers do something about this !!!
Like hauliers get together and refuse to deliver to them
Our so called ‘managers’ can’t do nothing, they’re all puppets to tesco…
I went to collect out of a place in Cambridgeshire one day & I overheard an office clerk on the phone ringing another one of their sites informing them that load x that was meant to be delivered to tesco that night is no longer coming because the agy driver booked in has refused to do it & has walked off, the agy told him he was doing another run that wasn’t a tesco one…
I pulled up to a drop i’d not been to before the other morning & parked in the only obvious spot before being told where to go to unload & one of their drivers pulled round the corner & just says:
“You couldn’t have parked in a worse place.” (Deadpan)
Thought he was having a laugh at first but just pure ■■■■■■■■■ style. Why not just say, “You wanna be over there mate”. No need.
Was going to gob off at him but I actually wanted to get unloaded. How do these pricks make it through the day without getting lamped?
It is the nature of full time work these days that you get paid the same for doing a crap job, or a good job. Ie. No Recognition, no blame.
<SPLAT!> a grands worth of damage/waste? - “Don’t worry about it”. "Hey, I’ve just collared this thief red-handed in the cloakrooms going through our stuff!" - “Sorry everyone who’s had stuff nicked - we’ll just sack him, you won’t get your stuff back, and he won’t be prosecuted because we need minimum wage fodder like him back next week” … and of course "I’ve just saved the firm ten grand by doing the right thing here… " Oooh we’ve got an arrogant git here who wants a bloody medal! - We don’t want hot fuzz like him back here, 'cos he makes the rest of us look bad… "
Then when someone gets killed, it’s never the victim’s fault, as not to upset the family, and it’s never a manager’s fault, and no one ever goes to jail. The firm just pays the paltry HSE fine, and that’s the end of it until the next victim comes along.
Everyone is just there to eke out their hours. On the outside, looking in, you really realise that this is endemic to the entire work force in today’s “just in time” world.
The sad fact of the matter is those who seem to get promoted to these roles are very often the ones who are least suited to it, find out the guys name get the Email address of the transport manager or whoever runs goods in and make a formal complaint.
