AF1:
First time I went to Farmfoods ■■■■■■■■■■■ I made the mistake of pulling up to the gate. You’d think I’d took a turd in the security mans hut the way he went on. Can’t you see there’s a queue he ranted when in reality it was 3 trucks dotted randomly along the road between cars. I’d forgot to pack my crystal ball that day!
I sympathise, really do. One thing that did my absolute nut in about this job was rdc staff expecting you to be born knowing all their little ■■■■ “rules” just because they’ve spent 5 years or so working at that one shed
sorry for dot on previous, senior moment and quoted wrong post. Dufus

Or you get the driver that has only got one pallet and asks to go in front the queue.
He will ask how many pallets have you got to come off.
Then you get a life story that he has to get home for the cats birthday or pick up the kids from school.
For that i go “No Englishy”.
happened to me on Thursday, i was at Advanced Diesels in South Kirby, i,d been sat there 30 minutes waiting to get in when a 4 wheeler comes flying up behind me,driver walks up to me “got many coming off mate?”
just the one lift i says, he says ok i,ll just wait behind you, didnt tell him it was a 17 ton ■■■■■■■ generator set that took an hour to unload , well it was only one lift :lol:
You’re paid by the hour and on the clock. Get a brew on and a fresh dvd in the player and relax
Is there an unwritten rule which says you can’t queue jump even if you’re going to handball or pumptruck the delivery off? Had a few disapproving looks because I wont sit in the queue when it’s quicker to drop the taillift and dump the pallet off. It must embarass the forkie when I can get a tonne off by handball quicker than he can get a couple of pallets off of someone and have it checked. :mrgreen:
Either that or I’m mad for doing it… :oops:
Que jumpers should be shot on sight & on site.
F-reds:
Because I unload myself
This^^^^
They are just jealous that you are in and out under your steam and not beholden to what is sometimes, a total turd, on the forklift.
I get the same. I earn plenty of extra Wonga tipping other lorries on building sites, because the site forks are seem to be exclusively driven by people who are on a break, sick, or late.
