The US has stockers from companies that go store to store and stock only that company's products....and they get paid more than store managers with the exception of Walmart and Target managers. Do other countries have these

>>511084785 (OP)
His nickname is "Pallet" Jack

>>511084785 (OP)
so this is a typical "white" american...

They get paid like $18 - $22 here, not even close to store manager. Its a really shit job.

all-american

>>511085040
+ Car Allowance + mileage + OT(they work anywhere from 45-60 hrs a week)

They're making close to $60k in the low range

When I worked in a grocery store the Pepsi merchandisers were cool young guys. The coke guys were salt of the earth family men. But the seven up guys... sketchy as fuck man. Stay the fuck away from the seven up pervs.

>>511084941
damn now indians are roasting us

>>511085512
you can make more than that being a team lead at walmart, and the work is way easier. All you do is kiss ass all day and yell at your wagies for not completing impossible goals.

>>511085512
they haul pallets of products with their own cars? explain how

>>511085593
lol

my mom always talks to the Pepsi guy at the store as if he has the inside info about the drinks

>>511085771
Are you retarded?

>>511085593
Pepsi usually pays the most among Merchandisers. 7Up the least

>>511085771
The warehouses where they stock the stuff onto trucks are usually pretty far away. I assume they do that to get people from farther away to make the commute. They often drive from different cities, and their routes take them many hundred miles.

Absolutely don't get paid more than store managers. I did that job for 2 years for different companies and made between 15 and 19 an hour a few years ago.

>>511084785 (OP)
yes
that's what happens when supermarkets sell you the shelve space instead of buying your product and selling it themselves

>>511085512
There don't pay you car allowance lol

>>511085771
They get a company box truck. Same with gas stations. Beer and chips are often stocked by the company.

>>511084785 (OP)
>Do other countries have these
Yes

>>511085771
A a big 18 wheeler truck drops all the soda off from the back of the warehouse in the store then the person who comes to organize is a different person it's called the merchandiser

>>511084785 (OP)
these guys have to drive a semi, unload it themselves, stock the shelves, take note of inventory, and then move on to the next store

>>511085750
just looking at the pay online, its just slightly less, but you have to work your ass for 8 hrs straight

>>511086197
The truck driver is a different person. The merchandiser who puts it away just has a route of 4 or 5 stores to stock a day. I did this job for 2 years

>>511086128
>>511086196
that was point, they don't get a car allowance, they use a company truck

>>511084785 (OP)
I've seen it here

>>511086197
>these guys have to drive a semi, unload it themselves, stock the shelves, take note of inventory, and then move on to the next store

The driver drives the products to the store
The merchandiser stocks the products
The sales reps orders the products

Its not one guy

Breaking your back to spread poison goyfeed and goydrank all over the country. Murica, Fuck Yeah!

I own a house and maintain it for people that are unable or inwiling to do it themselves.

Thats kind of the same thing, right?

>>511084785 (OP)
what the fuck, they're contracting retail wagies now??? you don't even have a fixed work place or schedule anymore??

>>511085512
A Costco forklift driver (literally zero training required, they do their own training and disregard past experience) tops out at 35.90/hr at premium locations (+$2/hr) within 5 years and are due for two pay bumps of $1 in 2026 and 2027 bringing them to 37.90/hr with zero education, full benefits, a 401k and tons of paid vacation and personal leave time. Maternity leave is insane too- they get 5 months.

>>511085771

The pallet is dropped off in the back of the warehouse. The merchandiser goes back there, grabs a dolly and distributes the product onto the shelves. Then on to the next stop.

>>511086452
Oh, and, Sundays are considered OT. Time and a half all day on Sunday.

>>511086242
Yeah it's a lot of manual labor. You are better off doing something else. The toughest part is organizing all the sodas in the warehouse in a big grocery store because you have a limited amount of room designated for you as several companies have their own space in it from other soda companies, wine, the grocery store products themselves and so on. You got keep all the different flavors separate to or you will have to move so much shit to get something you need. On top of all this soda expires so you got to rotate stuff properly over time

Do a different job you'll be paid more like Amazon

>>511086242
Team leads at walmart dont work. Ive worked there. They sit around and talk with the coaches all day. Sometimes they will use power equipment to move stuff, but that is about it. Where I lived, it paid 22 dollars, and they were talking about pay increases even then. Walmart also seemingly doesnt care about overtime 90% of the time so sometimes they would just stay behind and run up the clock doing nothing. The problem is every Walmart has its own clique, and you will never get to be a team lead without fitting in to it.

>>511086297
I worked at a grocery store for 8 years and in many cases the vendor will take care of their own ordering, shipping, and receiving all at once. That's what all the bread, soda, and chips guys did.

>>511085040
Lol, food service CDL is way more than that

>>511086452
>>511086500
Truck drivers with a CDL are exactly the same as forklift guys but it's a flat $10 an hour more at all pay scales.

>>511086258
You drive your own car for companies like coca cola or Pepsi and you get a company phone with daily routes you'll do

>>511086625

well yeah that's a trucker not a merchandiser

This is capitalism at it's finest.
The shelf location is so valuable to pepsi, they are willing to send the guy to stock the shelf themselves.
Stores get profits from products, and get kick backs from.pepsi.
Some guy gets a well paid job.
Pepsi maximise their profits and can afford to do all this.

>>511086581
>That's what all the bread, soda, and chips guys did.

I know Frito Lay and the bread guys did this but not the soda or beer guys. and Ive worked in grocery for years now

>>511084785 (OP)
I don't know how it is done now, but in my day, guys like this had a 'route'. So they represent some potato chip company, and it's their job to not only stock the shelves, but also to talk the smaller stores into stocking the product. It's a good deal for the store because this guy comes in and handles all the stocking and rotation; it's a good deal for the guy who has the route because the better he is and pushing potato chips, the more money he makes.

And you think this is weird? We used to have a guy who would sneak around in the middle of the night and leave milk and cheese in a little box at your door

>>511086771

I've never seen the beer guy at my local super market. They must come super early or something

>>511085593
The Coke guy at my store had a rule that he couldn't be seen drinking any non-coke products or he could get fired. But he was a hilarious fella.

My manager was a pretty cool alcoholic and bald. The coke guy went up to him and said he was going to cum on his bald head and rub it in like moisturizer kek

They don't make anywhere near managers though, my local Walmart was doing close to a million in sales a day and the managers all got 6 figure bonuses.

>>511086913
>and the managers all got 6 figure bonuses.
That is absolutely 100% not a thing, unless you're talking about the regional manager.

>>511086727
do they have requirements on what kind of car you can drive? It's just hard to envision hauling pallets of coke in the back of a sedan

>>511086771
Where I worked you'd see the Pepsi guy in his uniform whipping those pallets around the back and down the aisle every other day.

>>511087036
We only had a few store managers, 2-3, and it was a brand new super center in a major city.

>>511087134
Realistically, not only is there no fuckin way that a single store manager got a 6-figure bonus, but there's also no way you'd know about it. Unless your source is "Yeah man Ryan told me he got a 150k bonus, lucky bastard". Ryan lied.

>>511087044
Nothing ever goes in your car if you are the person putting the sodas away. A 18 wheeler truck driver in the back of the warehouse of the store drops all the pallets off. You can drive anything it dosen't matter as long as you can get to the locations you need to go during the day

>>511087230
gotta wonder why you're so deadset against a store manager receiving a bonus lol

the source was common knowledge, store managers get bonuses based on how much profit it turns.

>>511085593
isnt 7up usually run by pepsi or coke depending on the region?

>>511086863
the beer guys in my area never wore their unis so its not surprising

>>511085777
checked
your mom is the choice of a new generation

>>511085593
How does Bangs root beer operate?

>>511084785 (OP)
Why doesn't the store just stock the shelves themself?

>>511084785 (OP)
I have done this for a plant company and Scott’s (like the seeds and fertilizer). You’re pretty delusional if you see yourself above the true retail workers you work with. But the job is easy and you’re usually on your own. I don’t mind these jobs but I’m not career focused - I work then travel
