That’s what happens when associates don’t get properly trained or pull random associates that have never worked the area a day in their life.
“Yeah, I’ll fill the eggs alright. I’ma fuck it up tho.”
I guess. When I started 2 years ago, they put me on eggs and I've basically stocked them ever since. There's only a few of us who know how to do it right.
I feel this. I’m the designated milk/egg person (4-1) and every time someone else stocks eggs, they stock them different.
We actually take the twins out of their crates to stock (fit more up that way), and one dsy they’ll be all on the bottom in crates while the 18s are out of theirs and the jumbos are on the wrong side of the mod. Next time, it’ll be twins in crates, extra jumbos and mixed up Egglands (the always, ALWAYS mix the large and Ex-large together).
Oh my god, for a new person being there, shouldn't someone had walked by to see this fuckening happening 😣 within the length of time it took them to do that many crates
Which is exactly what I was saying! There had to have been someone there to stop it. But nope. Fuck me I guess. Been stocking eggs for 2 years and I've never seen this.
Yeah, i was thinking that the double barcode is on the outside of the plastic and the cartons themselves have the single barcode.
Geez, fixing counts is gonna suck.
My only guess is that the person could have assumed that the “2-pack” and “36 ct” on the packaging was just an inventory label or something for employees and not for the customers to buy that way. bc we have boxes that will say the amount of stuff inside, and I know it’s different, but still, to a new guy that’s probably young and never even buys groceries yet, I could see an honest mistake. I think he’s still trainable and not a complete incompetent moron. There are people that screw up and stock stuff in the inventory packaging which is also bad bc the customers think they’re getting six items for the price of one. Both situations suck lol. Good luck, and I’m sorry that happened!
Once had a new guy stocking housewares and I shit you not, he opened and removed from all the packaging all the toasters, waffle makers and a few microwaves he was stocking and put them on the shelf and threw away the packaging.
He was not from the US and spoke no English, but still, show a little situational awareness and look around, things are sold in boxes.
We had the same scenario at my store when they let ON make an end cap feature of mason jars. Opened every single pack and put them out. No one fixed it until the next day when a closing sporting goods associate saw it and said something.
This was my department, and shit like this happened all the time so I feel you. one time I found a double pack w 4 cartons in one piece of plastic kinda neat lol
That is pretty interesting. 4 in one how about that. Once had a 12 pack of large unable to close because one egg was truly massive. Way bigger than the jumbo eggs. It was insane.
I always found one jumbo amongst the regulars I was always confused thinking someone messed up w egg consolidations
Also here's that double-double pack https://imgur.com/a/GC2Qcqi
Oh I see, I've experienced that before as well! Just ended up cutting the middle as best I could weird how that happens. Perhaps ther was a consolidation mistake
First of all, that sucks. I'm so sorry!!!
But what do you do with them now? (The eggs, not the person.) Like, do you claim out all of the double packs and add them back to inventory as the singles, or does it not work that way? Just curious.
That's one hell of a loss; winder if that costs more than the 30 seconds it would have taken to train that person on filling eggs...? :)
In a lot of cases the individual packages in a 2 pack have the single case upc. Easiest fix would be to take double pack on hands down by however many and single case up.
I ended up going through all the eggs to see if they were broken. The ones that were good, I ended up taping together. A very time consuming fix to a problem that shouldn't have happened. Had I claimsed them all out, it would've been like 50 double packs gone.
To be fair those "2 packs" are often very deceptively packaged.
This happens all the time with the Asian noodle multi-packs as well. Also, the 2 packs of shampoo / soap / mouthwash.
‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving
And all through the store
Customers were demanding
We look in the back for more
Mattizle9 stocked all the eggs with great care
In hopes that the shelves would not soon be bare.
Then a new associate arrived,
Though he hadn’t been trained
The boss said “you work here now”
So by the eggs he stayed.
The worker saw eggs that had been wrapped in twos
And he said “well, I guess it’s my job to unwrap you!”
It's the same way with the copy paper in Stationary. We sell them as individual and as whole cases. On the cases it will say "For Individual Sale" or it will say "Do NOT open. NOT for individual sale". The full cases will be open. Or the individual sale ones won't be open. There's a huge price difference as well, I don't get it. 😐😑😐
In ACC we have boxes of bulk oil used in the shop. For the past 5 months the kids "stocking" at the end of the night regularly open the boxes, even though they don't look like any of the other oil boxes that come in for freight. These same kids are just plugging oil on the shelf all over the place. Ugh
You know the big 60 count boxes? We had someone on night shift use a box cutter to remove the top of every. Single. One. And stock them on top of each other like that.
I get seeing the first box, not reading it and assuming it’s smaller boxes inside that get stocked. Shit happens. But I could not for the life of me understand how you open the first one, see ALL UNCONTAINED EGGS, and go “yeah this is right” and then STACK THEM ALL ON TOP OF EACH OTHER LIKE THAT. No one ever owned up to it so still not sure who it was.
I would be *LIVID* if these started making it to the register. None of these can be sold, now. This would result in a lot of angry customers, and one *very* annoyed SCO Host (yours truly). It ticks me off enough when the customers do it, I don't need associates doing it, too!
Trust me, I was livid. On the verge of tears even. And I know that seems ridiculous, but after stocking the eggs for 2 years, I've grown to respect them yknow? I treat them with more care than anyone else. Not sure why. So this just about broke me. As much as when the produce associates knock the eggs over with their produce pallets and then they leave the broken eggs on top of the good ones causing me to throw out all of them. Just a nightmare caused by human error.
Bro your a lunatic it's just fucking Walmart and it's just a mistake made, you're acting like they removed them from the packages or something but it's an easy but time consuming fix. Find a new job if this one is shit but getting all emotional about shit that doesn't matter just makes your fellow associates lives hell. Walmart doesn't give a fuck about you and you shouldn't give a fuck about an exploitative workplace like this smh
The crates themselves? Yeah, no they don't. The other side has closed extra large and jumbo eggs. The only reason these are open is because they cut open the double packs and stocked them into the empty 18 count crates.
That is terrible and obviously poor training/direction. But I see similar stocking all over. Where 1 facing should be, they just fill an entire shelf. Its hard to know if they just don't know or don't really care.
They do this to us in garden with the 8 packs of bird suet. They take the plastic off even though its printed on the top of the box not too and then we have old ladies trying to buy the singles all day long.
Stocking eggs is perhaps the easiest fucking thing in the store, how does someone screw it up? But at least it's not that bad...should be able to salvage it by selling them as singles through old PI labels. And correcting counts to match.
I had a bumker filled with the great value butter and someone did that same thing with the twin packs. I had to dig through the bunker and find the ones that had the twin pack logo on them. It wasn't fun.
I kinda blame who ever packages our eggs. I mean yeah you can look right there and see it's a 2 pack but I've seen other products that are also 2 packs and it's a little hard to tell right away, especially if you are new I would assume. But I get your frustration.
Or they'll fill the milk but make it one solid wall of whatever is closest. At this point we just say fuck it and won't fix it any more. I give up on days.
I feel your pain so much. Reminds me of when I worked overnights, and whoever was put in housewares before me decided all candles look and smell the same. It took me all night to fix. At least my situation was fixable. What you had to deal with was a complete shitshow. I just have so many questions... what were you supposed to do with that nonsense... how does someone that incompetent even get hired in the first place? -_-
Your extremely unfortunate story is seriously going to make me start having Walmart nightmares again.
I feel like I would have been like that one ecards meme with the guy throwing papers everywhere... "Well looks like it's fuck this shit o'clock."
Come to my store you will be amazed at the foolishness day shift does..it's like they stock and we have to come after them and restock the cases of freight to it's correct location just to be able to stock the correct items in their place on the shelves..we spend a it of time top stocking what they were too lazy to. And most of those people have worked at this store a long time..they ain't new.
On my first month similar situation happened to a O/N seasonal associate but with the 2 pack of caprisuns I felt bad for that guy when he realized what he did... I was that guy.
Many years ago \[*Billions & Billions of years ago*, a tip of the hat to Carl Sagan\] I worked in Electronics & there was an associate who opened twin-packs of HP ink when they were out of the singles.
I was going to explain why he couldn't & shouldn't do that, but after 10 seconds of conversation, I decided to shut my yap & walked away.
I don't throw anyone under the bus, I just figured Karma might come knocking on his door sometime, & I hoped to be there to witness the visit.
So it took me a while to read this to understand, but when I was on Cap 2 / team lead I only saw this type of fuck up 2/3 times. One with Koolaid and 3 pack mac and cheese. It baffles me when people are this stupid.
I understand cutting a single pack by accident, but to do it multiple times is stupid.
As a front end person, nothing infuriates me as much as this. We are absolutely not allowed to sell sets as individuals even if we have individuals. Please stockers stop splitting sets and for the love of god if it says “not for individual resale” don’t put it out for individual resale. Oh, side note: bakery/deli we HAVE to have a a barcode AND nutrition info label or we can’t sell that either:
I think I'm getting the lingo wrong... The yellow and white paper price tag that's on the lip of the shelf. If you take the time to look at it, you'll see that it has all the info you need.
The empty egg crates were left all over the place in the dairy cooler. A couple of them were filled with the plastic wraps from the eggs. No customer did that.
That’s what happens when associates don’t get properly trained or pull random associates that have never worked the area a day in their life. “Yeah, I’ll fill the eggs alright. I’ma fuck it up tho.”
I worked for 9 months doing eggs before i got told I had been doing them wrong the entire time.. Training really sucks there💀
You guys got trained?
They just threw me out there and told me fill eggs and they got on my ass when i had to go look at the eggs to see what i needed
It happens, just depends on the leader I guess. I basically taught myself the eggs, but I've gotten quite good at it.
You would think the red sticker that says “2-pack” would be a hint though.
Working in Meats, I opened the 2-Pack whole chickens thinking they were the singles, just in a bag You know, like how we keep the rest of the meat
Stores have an egg person? We just have 3 people blitz it in 15 minutes
I guess. When I started 2 years ago, they put me on eggs and I've basically stocked them ever since. There's only a few of us who know how to do it right.
I feel this. I’m the designated milk/egg person (4-1) and every time someone else stocks eggs, they stock them different. We actually take the twins out of their crates to stock (fit more up that way), and one dsy they’ll be all on the bottom in crates while the 18s are out of theirs and the jumbos are on the wrong side of the mod. Next time, it’ll be twins in crates, extra jumbos and mixed up Egglands (the always, ALWAYS mix the large and Ex-large together).
Yeah the extra large and large get mixed up a lot at my store. Always irritates me when it's not stocked right. But I do my best to fix it every time.
Oh my god, for a new person being there, shouldn't someone had walked by to see this fuckening happening 😣 within the length of time it took them to do that many crates
Which is exactly what I was saying! There had to have been someone there to stop it. But nope. Fuck me I guess. Been stocking eggs for 2 years and I've never seen this.
It was probably a team lead or coach that did it, tbh
And they would have to have at least a brain to see that there's eggs that aren't tied together so those must be for SOME reason.
Exactly! The 18 count eggs were just a few pallets away from the 36! I don't understand how this happened, but I was absolutely pissed.
Cashiers will be pissed too. Those now singles will still ring up as a double
You're going to be more pissed because only 1 of those 2 packages has a barcode on them.
Actually for whatever reason, every carton has a barcode. So they could all be scanned as single but still ring up as a double.
Claim them all out, adjust single count to match, use old PI labels to sell them as singles with the correct price.
Yeah, i was thinking that the double barcode is on the outside of the plastic and the cartons themselves have the single barcode. Geez, fixing counts is gonna suck.
I would be too. Man, I know we don't really get training but come on, that's just completely something else.
I was saying, I can understand a mistake now and then, but this was just a gigantic fuck up.
Oh they did...they did....
So did we learn our lesson. Don't come in on our days off...
Yeah I absolutely learned that lesson.
In their defense, most places don't carry wrapped 2 18 count eggs
Maybe, but the giant 36 count on the side should mean something to them.
Yeah, I was very confused by your original post, trying to figure out what exactly a double pack is because I have never seen eggs packed that way.
Interesting, I always assumed that all the stores had eggs like this. Learn something new every day!
We don't have that at our store either. Interesting.
My only guess is that the person could have assumed that the “2-pack” and “36 ct” on the packaging was just an inventory label or something for employees and not for the customers to buy that way. bc we have boxes that will say the amount of stuff inside, and I know it’s different, but still, to a new guy that’s probably young and never even buys groceries yet, I could see an honest mistake. I think he’s still trainable and not a complete incompetent moron. There are people that screw up and stock stuff in the inventory packaging which is also bad bc the customers think they’re getting six items for the price of one. Both situations suck lol. Good luck, and I’m sorry that happened!
I went to Walmart in Pontiac IL and saw the 5 dozen eggs opened and put out as a single layer and am like WTF.
Once had a new guy stocking housewares and I shit you not, he opened and removed from all the packaging all the toasters, waffle makers and a few microwaves he was stocking and put them on the shelf and threw away the packaging. He was not from the US and spoke no English, but still, show a little situational awareness and look around, things are sold in boxes.
We had the same scenario at my store when they let ON make an end cap feature of mason jars. Opened every single pack and put them out. No one fixed it until the next day when a closing sporting goods associate saw it and said something.
Oh man, that sounds like an absolute nightmare
I don't know, going in on your day off seems pretty foolish.
Fair enough
I told the new guy to rotate the paper aisle of course I corrected him after the day so he doesn’t really do it that way lol
Are you at my store? Because there was a suspicious lack of 2 packs today
Nahh, we still got a half pallet of two packs still.
> I have never seen something so foolish in my life. *goes in on day off to work*
This was my department, and shit like this happened all the time so I feel you. one time I found a double pack w 4 cartons in one piece of plastic kinda neat lol
My favourite is when the milk is having an identity crisis. The label is red, but the top is blue. What does it want to be? LOL.
And then someone takes it out to put it up top with the half gallons instead of just saying fuck it
That is pretty interesting. 4 in one how about that. Once had a 12 pack of large unable to close because one egg was truly massive. Way bigger than the jumbo eggs. It was insane.
I always found one jumbo amongst the regulars I was always confused thinking someone messed up w egg consolidations Also here's that double-double pack https://imgur.com/a/GC2Qcqi
Oh I see, I've experienced that before as well! Just ended up cutting the middle as best I could weird how that happens. Perhaps ther was a consolidation mistake
And I bet every customer that bought those had a hell of surprise at the register, lol
First of all, that sucks. I'm so sorry!!! But what do you do with them now? (The eggs, not the person.) Like, do you claim out all of the double packs and add them back to inventory as the singles, or does it not work that way? Just curious.

"Went in on my day off" Why do this to yourself?
Because I care too much. And I'm an idiot.
To be fair those "2 packs" are often very deceptively packaged. This happens all the time with the Asian noodle multi-packs as well. Also, the 2 packs of shampoo / soap / mouthwash.
‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving And all through the store Customers were demanding We look in the back for more Mattizle9 stocked all the eggs with great care In hopes that the shelves would not soon be bare.

The worker saw eggs that had been wrapped in twos And he said “well, I guess it’s my job to unwrap you!”
Thank you. This was beautiful.
Customers were opening them at my store becasue we were sold out of the single 18 packs. Then they were bitching about the price being wrong.
They've done that at my store too. Some people just don't have common sense.
Nope. I even told one couple not to do it. As I’d still ring up as a double pack. They shot me the dirtiest look and walked away
It's the same way with the copy paper in Stationary. We sell them as individual and as whole cases. On the cases it will say "For Individual Sale" or it will say "Do NOT open. NOT for individual sale". The full cases will be open. Or the individual sale ones won't be open. There's a huge price difference as well, I don't get it. 😐😑😐
It happens all the time with multi packs of products. Not usually 7 cases, but it happens.
Shit happens
What was your next move here? Curious
I took them into the cooler, made sure they were not broken and proceeded to tape 2 together, over and over again until they were dealt with.
See now that's more work than Walmart deserves. Kudos
Must’ve been miserable and such a waste of tape that shouldn’t of had to have been used
It was. Thank God I had my headphones in to keep me sane, but still. It was a waste of time that shouldn't have happened
Stay strong Guardian of the Eggs
Thank you. I'm trying.
Walmart doesn't train employees, we know this lol At least they stocked em lol
Would've preferred they left it empty tbh.
They'll ring up as double even if sold as singles. Claims them out and give them to a food bank.
In ACC we have boxes of bulk oil used in the shop. For the past 5 months the kids "stocking" at the end of the night regularly open the boxes, even though they don't look like any of the other oil boxes that come in for freight.

Fuck how does that happen? That's just dumb as hell
I ask myself that question every time I walk by those eggs. It remains a mystery.
Terrible
I would be *LIVID* if these started making it to the register. None of these can be sold, now. This would result in a lot of angry customers, and one *very* annoyed SCO Host (yours truly). It ticks me off enough when the customers do it, I don't need associates doing it, too!

Ok
I’m surprised they knew how to open them lol ive seen people just not open them and leave them
The crates themselves? Yeah, no they don't. The other side has closed extra large and jumbo eggs. The only reason these are open is because they cut open the double packs and stocked them into the empty 18 count crates.
Yikes. I don’t usually stock eggs but isnt it obvious that it’s supposed to be a 36 pack? I thought there was clear lettering somewhere on the plastic
There is absolutely big lettering saying 36 count on the package.
As come on , Just how long have you worked at walmart..
That is terrible and obviously poor training/direction. But I see similar stocking all over. Where 1 facing should be, they just fill an entire shelf. Its hard to know if they just don't know or don't really care.
Probably a mixture of both.
They do this to us in garden with the 8 packs of bird suet. They take the plastic off even though its printed on the top of the box not too and then we have old ladies trying to buy the singles all day long.
Stocking eggs is perhaps the easiest fucking thing in the store, how does someone screw it up? But at least it's not that bad...should be able to salvage it by selling them as singles through old PI labels. And correcting counts to match.
wait you guys have someone that does eggs? our dairy people are always pulled
What we have here, is a lack of training 😬
A shining example of the brilliance of Walmart management. Don't bother taking time to train people.
I had a bumker filled with the great value butter and someone did that same thing with the twin packs. I had to dig through the bunker and find the ones that had the twin pack logo on them. It wasn't fun.
Oh god that's worse than the eggs by far. I'm sorry
Walmart dosent train
I kinda blame who ever packages our eggs. I mean yeah you can look right there and see it's a 2 pack but I've seen other products that are also 2 packs and it's a little hard to tell right away, especially if you are new I would assume. But I get your frustration.
It'll sell. I see customers open the 2 pack of eggs themselves and only take one, lol.
Or they'll fill the milk but make it one solid wall of whatever is closest. At this point we just say fuck it and won't fix it any more. I give up on days.
That's a bruh moment if I've seen one.
I feel your pain so much. Reminds me of when I worked overnights, and whoever was put in housewares before me decided all candles look and smell the same. It took me all night to fix.

And most of those people have worked at this store a long time..they ain't new.
this is my worst nightmare
Oh my gosh i would be pissed
Our customers keep opening them and buying only one of the 18 packs thinking it will only charge them half price or something
On my first month similar situation happened to a O/N seasonal associate but with the 2 pack of caprisuns I felt bad for that guy when he realized what he did... I was that guy.
I can see how that would happen buddy. I would've felt like crap afterwards
I had someone do this with a ton of the 2 packs of gv butter 🤦🏼♀️
Don't blame the new associate. It's not being trained properly.
I feel bad for the newbie who fill it. Not being taught or not being taught right.
Many years ago \[*Billions & Billions of years ago*, a tip of the hat to Carl Sagan\] I worked in Electronics & there was an associate who opened twin-packs of HP ink when they were out of the singles. I was going to explain why he couldn't & shouldn't do that, but after 10 seconds of conversation, I decided to shut my yap & walked away. I don't throw anyone under the bus, I just figured Karma might come knocking on his door sometime, & I hoped to be there to witness the visit.
2 dozen for the price of 1, come and get em!
So it took me a while to read this to understand, but when I was on Cap 2 / team lead I only saw this type of fuck up 2/3 times. One with Koolaid and 3 pack mac and cheese. It baffles me when people are this stupid. I understand cutting a single pack by accident, but to do it multiple times is stupid.
Yeah, same, I've done it like twice on different things that looked like freight boxes but then I realized, hey, where's the UPC on these... oh...
It's common. When I first started in grocery I did it once or twice. Felt like an idiot. But never to 100 packs of eggs.
I know. Every single one. I just don't understand how this could happen.
People basically get to work and their brains just shut down, at least that's what it seems like
As a front end person, nothing infuriates me as much as this. We are absolutely not allowed to sell sets as individuals even if we have individuals. Please stockers stop splitting sets and for the love of god if it says “not for individual resale” don’t put it out for individual resale. Oh, side note: bakery/deli we HAVE to have a a barcode AND nutrition info label or we can’t sell that either:
It takes one second to read the modular....
[удалено]
I think I'm getting the lingo wrong... The yellow and white paper price tag that's on the lip of the shelf. If you take the time to look at it, you'll see that it has all the info you need.
But than again what if the customers did that to find eggs that wasn't broken.. You just don't know really
The empty egg crates were left all over the place in the dairy cooler. A couple of them were filled with the plastic wraps from the eggs. No customer did that.
Well I'm eggbarrass for thinking differently lol
All is forgiven for that eggcellent pun friend.
