Losing ever cooler and freezer item
What about it?
This was one of FIVE huge dumpster that were needed to throw out every cooler and freezer item in the store. Even the items in the cooler and freezers in the back where overstock was.
So on December 23, 2013 around 8pm, something happened that knocked out every cooler, bunker and freezer in the store. Nobody noticed because we were not a 24 hr store yet. We had basically been built for it, but city or county ordinance said the Walmart couldn't be a full 24 hr store till 2014.
I worked 1st and 2nd shifts.
Anyway, the reason that was mentioned was because we closed at 10pm. And 3rd shift had to buy their stuff before the store closed cause the registers would not be open for them to use.
So no one noticed that the freezers and coolers stopped working till we opened on December 24, 2013. When a third shift employee wanted to buy ice cream before they left and it was melted. Which caused a cascading effect.
So when I came in at 2pm we had so many people throwing food in carts and taking it to receiving and just throwing and dumping it into the dumpster.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars of food just thrown out. But because it was over the threshold, insurance covered it, instead of it coming out of the stores pocket. And thankfully it was winter, or the smell would have been horrible if it had been summer.
