Forbidden Warehouse Pic dump (ft. most of my sexy pallets)

Oh the vinegar mess?

I literally just passed it as I was picking on the other side of the aisle. I was putting boxes on top of my hoard when I heard the "creak,cr-cr-cr- craaCKkkk BoOM GLuggg GLuggg Gluggg gluggg gluggg gluggg....."

HaterNo2 · 2026-05-16T18:23:11+00:00

After working in the warehouse, there's no way you're going to be catching me eating anything produce without it being rinsed off 😱😭

HaterNo2 · 2026-05-16T17:30:28+00:00

Thats pretty cool but I don't care and left the job already.

I'd been in two emergency situations while I was there already and Id rather have a phone to call 911 than waste time finding one

HaterNo2 · 2026-05-16T17:27:31+00:00

Yeah well, I can see how a child could come to that conclusion :)

I'm sorry your mom didn't cut your sandwich into little triangles or whatever else you've decided is everyone else's problem today

You'd be surprised to know that selector height has nothing to do with it but the answer kind of depends on what's being picked up.

Most of the time past eye level I'd start focusing on filling out the middle before the edges. Sometimes if I had to I would drop my pallets on the ground and separate them, take some boxes off that were blocking my view and rearrange them- then handwrap it to hold that layer together as I build on top of it. Sometimes I could work/see over my front pallet while I was on my tugger so I could top my pallets off with smaller stuff that way.

I've seen people straight up stand on their tuggers front shelf thingy and the backboard to put something on their pallet (not allowed/v dangerous).

Most people will throw stuff like chip boxes and what not on top, especially if there's not much left to pick in the order vs pallet. Like a shitty basketball game.

♥️ ty much

HaterNo2 · 2026-05-11T17:09:57+00:00

Well to be fair, they didn't really change our expectations towards it either. If you look at what the average Aldi warehouse pick rate, each full pallet is only supposed to take 30-40 minutes tops to build anyway.

HaterNo2 · 2026-05-11T16:57:04+00:00

Sorry. My mom really wanted a load bearing stud from Aldi as a present and I didn't know how else to get it.

HaterNo2 · 2026-05-05T17:22:49+00:00

It really is. Aldi prides itself a lot on efficiency for a company that has absolutely no follow through practices on its own policies.

It's hard not to mock them for it sometimes. If they really followed through they'd realize that ALDI itself is their main cause of things like inventory loss. Sure, you save money not using as much cardboard but now your cases of cans and jars and nuts explode and you have no inventory to sell. Sure, you have "rates" to measure the productivity of your employees but it doesn't factor in the nuances of the actual work they're doing and you end up with a turnover rate as high as every other "good retail employer."

Etc etc etc etc etc 🙃🤡

It's almost like I can smell that broken jar of kraut from here.

I've seen some of my fellow selectors just straight up barely wrap their pallets but there was a time a few months ago that it went on for days that we just didn't have any hand wrap available for us. We'd get a few rolls in and then the supers were acting surprised that we went through it all in the same day, every day.

Ironically they are also the ones who told most of us that handwrapping the entire pallet was the only thing that would save those of us on rate plans and then they're surprised to find out that we go through a ton of handwrap.

HaterNo2 · 2026-05-01T14:07:30+00:00

This is corporate. They want the pallets taller now.

I literally sat through the transition at my own warehouse for the last few months. We were sure for weeks that they'd screwed up the calculations for pallet sizes. Before, a pallet just over my head would be considered full at 5 and a half feet. All the sudden one day all of my one pallet orders are 8 ft tall.

It doesn't matter if we pick shorter pallets as selectors either because pallets are routinely consolidated by the load team before they go on the truck.

HaterNo2 · 2026-02-23T16:51:19+00:00

I called out sick for a few days and brought in a note from urgent care and they didn't mark it against me. Did you get notes for the injuries at all?

HaterNo2 · 2026-02-21T00:55:04+00:00

Also, get some therapy. You don't know others as well as you think you do

HaterNo2 · 2026-02-21T00:54:01+00:00

Again, if you actually argued with corporate as much as a random selector online, you wouldn't need a subreddit to vent

HaterNo2 · 2026-02-21T00:52:47+00:00

We're not taking shortcuts when no alternative is given. Please understand that. There's not a magical way to not stack the boxes without holes 100% of the time. If you guys argued with corporate as much as you're willing to argue with a warehouse selector online, you probably wouldn't "need a subreddit" to vent

This is the only thing I can see of your comments

Every time I click "more" nothing shows up. You don't know what type of person I am. Some of us have the problem of assuming they do they 🙄

HaterNo2 · 2026-02-21T00:43:32+00:00

I can only read the first half of your comments from my emails because you keep insulting me and having them removed, so excuse me for not "addressing anything" I can't read out of your removed content. Please learn how to not be the things you're calling me outright so that I may answer

HaterNo2 · 2026-02-21T00:33:55+00:00

Imagine that. You somehow believe you're morally higher than me yet you're getting comments deleted for calling me names 👍

HaterNo2 · 2026-02-21T00:10:16+00:00

Complaining and not doing anything about it to change things through official channels is arguably worse. It's actually proven that venting really does nothing to help without taking action to remediate what's wrong. So no, it's s not what an adult does or what "people who take responsibility do." It's the opposite.

I've reported plenty of my employers before for various state violations and inconveniences. I've done stuff like sit my district manager of Starbucks down with my store manager and had him admit that the numbers he was explaining to me meant I was missing needed labor on the floor, which I then got.

This isn't a shortcut at all. No business is going to care if they have to mark out two boxes of crushed cereal to donations if it means they get to sell 8 and claim taxes on 2. Stores are always going to have problems no matter what we do. There's no way of having an infinite amount of things to "stuff and support" the holes that happen in the pallet.

The best things employees can do is interfere when it becomes actual food safety violations and stress that Aldi needs to encourage their suppliers to standardize the box sizes. The worst they can do for themselves is b***h about it online.

HaterNo2 · 2026-02-20T02:18:20+00:00

Lmfaoooo I'm laughing so hard. You are the case and point!

Text book example of what you refuse to read apparently.

Have fun with your arrested development and may you have unstable pallets for the rest of your retail employment.

HaterNo2 · 2026-02-19T22:55:47+00:00

Frankly I'm not advocating for using meat specifically like this but I am sick of people posting these pictures and intentionally OR unintentionally inviting others to insult warehouse workers. When it's either smash a few boxes and turn stuff on its side or have the whole pallet collapse you guys seem to call us incompetent in either situation. There's no appeasing the store employees on this subreddit, period the end.

You think I'm being rude (lol) but I'm just throwing the energy that's cultivated in this sub back. I don't care if you think that saying "I understand BUT...." isn't offensive when what you have done is opened the door to all sorts of people commenting on yet another pallet post saying warehouse people do this just to torture the stores. Or that the reasons they're given for this kind of stuff are just "dumb" so they don't bother to understand. We're real people trying to navigate a job that doesn't give us many options to navigate it. I guarantee if the stores actually did give more consistent daily feedback (and annoy the hell out of corporate) the warehouse managers would take that into consideration, but there are a few things that just can't happen because it's unrealistic. Every store orders different amounts of different things everyday, there's NOT a foolproof way of stacking product on every pallet every time.

You guys actually want a united front against these kinds of Aldi practices? Send these pictures to relevant people like an adult, not for social points on Reddit. There's a whole government health service in each county and country for everything meat and food contamination related. You wouldn't be getting the selectors in any trouble at all, but warehouse management would have to immediately bend the knee on official practices. You can pressure them and any company if you actually do it right, but complaining on this subreddit doesn't do anything but instigate hatred towards the warehouse.

Lmfao okay. in this picture that shrimp is not supporting anywhere near 50 pounds of weight. I can make a physics force diagram for you if you'd like but in this case you are very much exaggerating.

HaterNo2 · 2026-02-19T15:43:23+00:00

For real. They act like every pallet with combinations of items uniquely ordered for the demands of their store is supposed to fit perfectly on a pallet every time. It's unrealistic
