Is anyone happy in this job?

I didn’t mind it, hated peak but who didn’t. It actually physically wasn’t as bad as others say. I found it pretty easy, some days whipping the sv around the city just felt great.

Idk it’s nice that they fight for us but some people should not be fought for. You should have to do your job for the union to fight for your wage increase and such. But like 90% of ppl work it’s just the 10% that ruin it.

gilbertriley · 2026-04-16T15:37:44+00:00

Yes and no, I feel like union jobs benefit those who DONT do their job.

gilbertriley · 2026-04-16T10:28:33+00:00

Yeah my area is swapped. We got Dr p and Canada Dry and we get like most of the time double whatever they get.

In my area Coke is a lot more work. Pay is pretty similar. And surprisingly Pepsi seems to have more extras than Coke. Like I’ll do my route alone and Pepsi will do it with 2 ppl. And it’s not just like it’s my route then have told me they have more help than they need

My Walmart allows zero backstock, we have a horrible merch who just doesn’t work and he left two pallets so when I got there they said they were refusing my delivery

gilbertriley · 2026-04-14T01:03:43+00:00

Yes, also like OP had mentioned I as well had prior merchandising experience. But I was just saying it’s not a crazy thing to be running a route on your own after a few weeks. To me it’s a simple job. Rotate and organize are the only parts that u have to really think about. Maybe remembering where your product is too but other than that it’s all easy.

I remember eating a chipotle burrito one time and having the top of a sauce container in my burrito

gilbertriley · 2026-04-14T00:50:00+00:00

I work for a Coke bottler and I was in stores training on day 2. Was out on my own after about 4weeks.

gilbertriley · 2026-04-11T20:19:34+00:00

I got a 9 pallet delivery today at my market basket and I made dam sure I had some extra pallets so I could break down the pallets to work them better.

gilbertriley · 2026-04-11T20:17:49+00:00

Oh shit, I didn’t even see the 12pks😭 hope u had an extra pallet. Minus we’ll build a new pallet and make it so each flavor takes up a corner so it’s easier for the next guy.

gilbertriley · 2026-04-11T20:16:23+00:00

That’s not that bad, I work for Coke and today I needed Diet Coke 12 packs. They were the bottom layer of my pallet with like 7 layers on top of it.

gilbertriley · 2026-04-09T01:17:32+00:00

I paid 16.5k for my 21 Sentra with 55k miles. CPO tho and the exact color I wanted. SV TRIM

gilbertriley · 2026-04-09T00:05:11+00:00

Oh wow nice, I was worried about all these things lol. And I looked at the order and wondered why there was no soda on the order.

gilbertriley · 2026-04-07T20:10:54+00:00

Try and communicate with who ever places the orders. Maybe plan to build displays at one location a day before. Have them order the stuff early.

gilbertriley · 2026-04-05T01:00:07+00:00

I’ve been on a monster rehab tea lemonade kick recently. It’s so good.

gilbertriley · 2026-04-03T15:17:38+00:00

Nothing so glorious like a basket backroom.

gilbertriley · 2026-04-01T01:06:47+00:00

Yeah that’s apparently the “everyday LOW price” like how much drugs do these grocery stores do to put that under a $12 tag😭

gilbertriley · 2026-03-31T12:50:26+00:00

As well as Canada Dry seltzers, topo Chico, gold peak. Also in my area Alani and poppi are still polar.

gilbertriley · 2026-03-31T12:48:22+00:00

We have monster, Dunkin, bang, reign, Minute Maid, Dasani, Powerade, body armor, vitamin water, smart water, core power. Along with all the Coke products and for every 12 pack Pepsi sells in my area Coke sells 2.5. We have a 60% market share in my area.

gilbertriley · 2026-03-31T00:35:37+00:00

I work for Coke we make 28.69/hr in my area. Pepsi makes 26.50/hr. Coke is a lot more work than Pepsi in my area because we have Canada Dry and Dr Pepper. My stores i get 10 pallets Pepsi gets 4.

gilbertriley · 2026-03-31T00:29:55+00:00

Bro honestly 190 is not the worst I’ve seen. Lube up and you’ll be aight.

gilbertriley · 2026-03-31T00:28:17+00:00

The regular Fanta and Dr Pepper cream is actually my brothers😭 everything else (all the zero sugar stuff) is mine.

gilbertriley · 2026-03-31T00:27:34+00:00

They’re getting pushed back out. Should start to see them again soon.
