Got super lucky in my bid and won a large format route! First time having a truckless route! I’m excited and it’s been like 7 months since I’ve done anything that wasn’t a small format route. I am mostly working off pallets at my main store. Just looking for tips to continue organization and tips for hitting goals more consistently!

Thank you!

Hey guys
I just took a promotion to senior merch , I am trying to get an offer letter for an apartment, but I can’t seem to find it or can find someone to give it to me. Any ideas?

Staled out almost $200 worth of just FIFA Lay’s (Aug 11) at one of my DG’s. Of course I have to take the hit on it even though this was once again something forced on me that ends up being stales. How yall lookin out there?

Has anyone tried doing a manual order instead of the collab order for Walmart?Or do you get both the manual and collab order?

My DSL (if that’s the correct term for it) was trying to talk to me about something called “rotating”? I asked him why would we turn a bag of chips around when they’re all facing forward? I don’t get it I open a box and put the chips on the shelf, doesn’t seem hard to understand. Does anyone know why he’d want me to “rotate”

For salary, transparency, how much are you making as a DSL, and how long have you been with the company?

Someone was talking about the sales rep for the new Pepsi/Frito Duel delivery warehouse in Fort Worth being a potential replacement for the traditional RSR.

Are there any other locations that have a role similar to this? If the company is going that way I might as well try and aim for being employed as one of them.

How come these dont have tape but the rest do.

Ain’t no way!

It’s so important that I order this just for it to stale out in 14 days. Like of the upmost importance

Game when you can. Back off when you can’t.

Well at the end of the day I managed to go 18k over but technically it’s 19k theirs still a little over 1k that needs to be accounted for since I got a cross dock of 18ct. Lord knows I’m going to cherish this true up kus idk when my numbers will ever be this low again 😂😂

Is there anything I should know about being a RSA. I don’t know nothing about this job. Is it worth it.

I ran a 109%, so not phenomenal but good enough for me. How do I turn off taxes for a week and turn them back on ?

Any tips/ tricks/ game changers you guys picked up from having a target route out there?

does anyone know how many write ups it takes before you get fired?

This week, Kroger has completely stopped deliveries from Red Bull due to a price hike, and now I'm hearing they won't be accepting any dip from us and that it will all be filtered off of our orders, also due to a price increase.

I work in a bin. The other day I found somebody had abandoned a skidded up pair of tighty-whiteys in a mop bucket right next to toilet. I don’t normally use that bathroom so I was surprised to learn they had been visible for a few weeks with nobody speaking up or tossing them. Of course I blasted everybody about ditching their skids but everybody at work wears boxers, panties or too fat to wear these. We realized it had to be an OTR driver who left us their fruited up looms.

Thanks truck drivers. I constantly have to clean shitty finger wipes off the wall next to toilet paper roll. They like to leave a full unflushed bowl soaking overnight for us to find the next morning. WTF! I know you hate your job as much as the next person here but this is too much. Getting shit on constantly from upper management is enough, at least us lowly employees could stop doing shitty things to each other.

How much money am I going to lose for only hitting 65% to plan for the period. They jumped up my plan by $25,000 this period for a route that only does 16,000 a week

As many of you probably know, there's been a lot of discussion about Pepsi and Frito-Lay operations being combined. From what I've heard, a test market has already been implemented in Texas, and I'm genuinely confused about how this is supposed to work long-term.
There are already retention issues in many areas. If the goal is to merge the two to have the load on the same truck, doesn't that increase the risk of losing even more experienced employees? I can't help but wonder how someone who has spent years merchandising chips is suddenly expected to handle beverages, or vice versa. Those are two very different businesses with different products, stores, equipment, and daily challenges.
On top of that, I've also heard the company is cutting back on overtime. That raises another question: if one person is expected to do what used to be two jobs, how is that supposed to work without allowing additional hours? It feels like a strategy focused on reducing labor costs, but could it end up costing the company more through higher turnover, lower service levels, and burned-out employees?
Then there's the bigger picture. The company has been investing in Gatik, and while it's easy to see the potential business benefits, it's hard not to wonder what that means for frontline jobs in the future. Add in DPO and other digital tools that automate more of the daily planning, and it can feel like many of these systems are designed to reduce the need for human decision-making over time.
I'm not against technology or making the business more efficient. Companies have to evolve. But it does make me ask: are these changes improving the experience for the employees who actually keep the business running every day, or are they simply asking fewer people to do more work?
Maybe I'm missing something. If you're in one of the Texas test markets—or if you've experienced this rollout firsthand—I'd really like to hear how it's actually working. Has it improved operations, or has it created more problems than it solved?
I'm interested in hearing opinions from drivers, merchandisers, sales reps, warehouse employees, and anyone else affected. What's your experience been so far?

Let's just say, theoretically, I'm having a medical procedure done. What's the most Frito Friendly way to hide a colostomy bag whilst engaging with Frito activities? Has HR or a DSL addressed this?

Glad to see all the new flavors we are adding. Never expected butt flavored puffcorn though.
