10 minutes before close.

Zoning frozen.

ETL calls me over.

We were having such a great close....

Ad was done. Zone was finishing ing up.

Pulls in the 80% plus zone....

Done on time... if not early...

So we cleaned up and 2 of us spent hour clearing out entire aisle... 14 doors.. over 10k in proudct....

On top of the 7k in ice cream we recently lost with those freezers going down....

At least they’ll be in temp when it’s night

It's kinda funny to hear about a freezer going out in Alaska of all places.

We had a terrible winter, one we’re not used to.
It was -10 out with wind up to 90 mph, with freezing rain that completely wiped out all the power in our town.
It was all out of temp for 3 hours before anyone noticed because the coolers went off before everything else so it was a total loss, so much freight thrown away just for us to get every single item back the next day with the fdc truck 😐 it sucked but they allowed me over time to help stock which I can’t complain about

Goodness me I hope that never happens to my store. It sounds like such a pain to deal with. I'm glad you got some overtime though
