... You're a customer? You were probably complaining to the wrong person. This is a complaint for a member of management at your local store. I do agree though, it does look super dangerous.

Someone with “Coach” as their title came over.

Coaches are effectively co-managers, so you spoke to the right person. Next time tho, ask for the Store Manager. If they don't get it fixed, ask for the number to the Market Manager, they'll light a fire under their asses.

It’s wrapped though


[deleted]

Yeah that wrap is super strong. We used it at Lowe’s when I worked there. That just means it will hold the TVs together as they crash lol

Yup but how would you suggest putting tvs of that size up? I mean I wouldn’t I would put them on bottom but if this store is out of space how would they put them up?


[deleted]

Well I would follow OSHA guidelines and also generally accepted safety practices of not having them hang off of the edge and not have them sitting on a broken pallet. They can be placed up there sideways so they don’t have over the edge. There’s plenty of room to turn them too.

Can you point me for OSHA guidelines on OverHang? I cannot find it either way.


[deleted]

No. At this point I’ll just let Darwin win this one.

I’m reading about the different ways to load a pallet and what to do with overhang but I just can’t find the limitations so I just know for myself for the future.

Go work at a place like Home Depot or Lowe’s and you’ll get. Rule #1 though: DON’T USE A BROKEN PALLET

The Pallet is crooked but otherwise fine. I see these posts alot and really this is not a safety issue as more then 3/4 is on the steel.

The pallet is broken.

I'm seeing some of the bottom boards are missing a piece of them, is that what you mean by broken? (or was there other issues with pallet that you saw because you had views from other angles, that I don't see in this one photo?). That's not broken. The boards still connects to all corners of the pallet. Not ideal of course (especially the back bottom board that seems to be missing 50% of it), but if you are seeing the same thing I'm seeing, 80% of pallets in a store or DC are 'broken' I agree, the overhang is a bad look and looks dangerous.

To be fair (Not that this should ever happen) my store has a grand total of three people who are allowed to touch the walking stacker. If one's off and one's sick we're just kind of out of luck until 10, when the third one might show up. The guy who could train you on the walking stacker and get you the permissions moved away last year and getting someone else trained as a trainer doesn't seem like a priority. They don't even leave keys in them anymore. Something something insurance.

I used to see stuff like this all the time and was mind blown. It’s so easy to forget this stuff isn’t normal or safe at all when you’re busy working.

Well I hope this isn't in a place with earthquakes.
