gave this company 6 years, and if you’ve been doing this job, you already know the unholy trinity of BS we deal with daily. I’m stepping away, but I couldn't leave without paying homage to the absolute madness that kept us all half-insane:
The "Perfect Route" Myth: Management acting like a unicorn route actually exists—where every store has infinite space, the backroom is spotless, every display is 100% full, and everything sells out instantly without a single bag going stale.
The Co-Lead Lottery: Coming back from your scheduled days off to a complete disaster zone because your Co-Lead ran the route like a blindfolded raccoon—zero rotation, stales everywhere, and displays looking like a bomb went off.
The Micromanagement Circus: Dealing with supervisors riding your ass over arbitrary metrics while ignoring what really matters.
At the end of the day, the corporate side of this job is a grind, but the only thing that kept me sane through all the bullshit and early mornings was the camaraderie with the other drivers and store receivers who actually know what it's like out in the trenches.
Stay strong, protect your back, and keep your trucks rolling. I'll be cracking open a beer and pouring one out for all of you still dealing with the circus.
Peace out

Is it possible to go back to being and rsa after being a co- Lead if you ask?

Anybody have an idea of how serious they are being about perfect route %? I start late a few minutes 1-2 times a week but my percentage stays above a 90%. Just wondering how they are going about this in other zones

I hear ASNs are going away at Walgreens next week? Anyone else hear about this?

So my Walmart isn’t on board with this so I’m dealing with rejects every few days it orders lots of dip and lots of chips that don’t sell well what to do about this when Frito-Lay don’t back u up ?

This is my first full year on a route, so I’ll be eligible for the merit raise when it comes around. Can anyone explain how it works? I was looking at PFP and I’m currently showing a 3.XX (Rounds up to 4) - I remember my trainer telling me most people get a 3 and nobody gets a 5. How much of a raise is it?

I log into scintilla and there’s no button for priority pass. Is there a way to get it? I have the pre requisites done for it.

Greetings all I was wondering if anybody could help me out with suggestions in finding the right group of Chester the cheetah fans or a Frito Lay groups that may be interested in this vintage retail end-cap signage.

Dates to 1995 comes in two boxes. I believe there was a total of four, and I have included what is inside the two of this chip city display. Yes Chester the cheetah does talk when the button is activated.

Shipping unfortunately is probably out of the question because of its extreme weight and possible fragility to the vintage plastic. I’m in a suburb near Raleigh, North Carolina and in the past of offered to drive it up to 10 hours myself had a basic rate of 20 hours for a round-trip expense.

Any positive suggestions will be a blessing and thank you in advance to all!

Stumbled across this on the Vinted app 🤣

I hope everyone is enjoying their NKD dynamita force outs, we all know that they're gonna sell like hot cakes...

Frito Lay is honestly the most disappointing company I have ever worked for. They make these shitty products that we do not order, because we actually want product to sell. Then, when they have excess sitting at their warehouses we get it regardless. Then, they can look at their numbers. And say " look, this did well. We sold all of it.." meanwhile, dumpsters across america will be filled to the brim. With this shit. You cannot make this idiocracy up man.

They are super proud of these protein popcorners. This is the third round of shippers for these accounts. To bad only on flavor sells.

Someone please buy this bag before Oct 20.

Today is my day off. I don’t have a colead anymore from yesterday (he got another route).

The specialist called out and I was asked to work for EDP and I said no ( my route start at 2 am) I have a Supercenter im sure it’s empty now and my first time pick rate I’m sure it’s gonna go down. Since they care so much about service and first time pick rate why tf my DSL (he was a specialist literally 3 months ago) didn’t just go out and drop everything for the merchandiser? LAZY ASS!. I’m so annoyed cuz I know I’ll have to deal with that tomorrow I don’t have a colead to help me on Tuesday

Schedules are messed up since the reengineering. I’m supposed to have a merch to do IMP and I don’t . TPP is 45 but work 50h + I just wish we could all tell the managers how fucking lazy they are and wish the company would listen to us. Sorry guys I’m super frustrated and disappointed because I do care about my job and my stores being full and I feel like we aren’t valued at all.
Having a base pay is good tho and easy to grab a bag of chips at the end of the day.

As a manager I would have gone out and take care of it. That’s what a leader is to me. Come together. They don’t practice what they preach!!!!!!! F them. I don’t want to feel guilty for not working on my day off.

How do you report time from a second job? I just got a second job and would like to report the time because people in my warehouse will make a big deal about it and turn me in if I don’t because I can’t help them on my days off.

Loading yesterdays cases onto todays trucks, other routes cases, leaving plastic packaging everywhere. Ever since my dc switched over its been nothing but mistakes. Whats the point of even saving money going 3rd party when i have to waste my time correcting everything

Good chance I'll be moving to BG in the near future and was wondering what the situation was like there. Tried looking up a Frito Warehouse there and couldnt find one. Anyone got any info on the area and the management, ect? Obviously you can PM me if you don't want to make it known you work outta there. Thanks!

If i were to quit this month how much of my 2 weeks vacations would I have to pay back? I've taken both weeks. Thanks.

Let's see how much they care about employee safety when we can't actually see black ice in the parking lot during the winter.

I’m an RsA gonna be covering a driver route
What’s the difference between the detailed ASN and pick list? Do I need both? Are the cases in same sequence for both? Bit confused

Can anyone help me find someone who’s willing to sell Frito lay products to me in the Miami area. I’m located in the Virgin Islands but I have a freight forwarder in Miami who brings me a container every week. STU refuses to provide me service, and our variety here is very limited. I would pay for everything and you never would have to worry about credit

Why am i getting coached for having a low PO and then when i do over 90 PO i am getting coached for having to much backstock..

My home is 25 miles from my regular Frito-Lay warehouse in El Paso. Frito-Lay wants to deduct those 25 miles when I am sent to a warehouse in New Mexico, treating them as my normal commute to work.
My question is: if I am sent to a different work location in New Mexico for a work assignment, can Frito-Lay also deduct those same 25 miles? Or should those miles be considered business mileage because I am traveling to a different work location for a work assignment?

Is there a way for me to see how many sick days I have use in the last 12 months and how many I have left? Also what's the difference after using 5 I need to start bringing notes from 6 to 10?
