Lies I can’t see the cow back there
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Isn’t that just the “stock” storage room? Where are you from that that’s not the normal for grocery store? Like they have all the products back there and they push them out from that side.
I’ve never seen anything like that in Europe.
This arrangement feels like the default in Denmark.
The highway gas pump store in Aarschot, Belgium, used to have this. Easy FIFO. You just add stuff from the back and push what’s already inside to the front.
A bar that I worked in uses to have a similar system but not with glass doors.
Yep. Standard dairy cold storage. At least in the US.
I’m from the US and most grocery stores I’ve been to have so much stuff piled on the shelves you can’t really see inside. I was maybe 20 or so the first time I saw a person walking around back there and was quite surprised.
Sometimes workers don’t even see back there very often. I remember hearing about a stocker getting stuck and dying behind some shelves. (There’s a chance this is just an urban legend. I’ve never checked if it’s real.)
Just wait till you go to a Costco or Sam’s and see them driving a forklift in there. 😀
Might be why it’s in “mildly interesting.”
I have always found this mildly interesting!
Go ahead and downvote, I’m not the idiot here
Nobody’s an idiot here. This is just one of those 1/10,000 moments or whatever where somebody learns something new for the first time.
It should always be celebrated, not ridiculed!
And yet, saying it was indeed mildly interesting received a downvote.
That’s the idiot I’m calling out.
You asked for downvotes. Don’t be surprised when it happens.
I don’t mind!
You got exactly what you asked for homie
I really don’t mind! Downvote away
When I worked at a grocery store the dairy stock room always had a weird tangy smell. Inevitably product would get spilled, and then cleaned up, but never seemed to be truly clean.
I’ve seen lots of stores with extra cold storage as shown here. I don’t typically see the lights on for the whole room unless someone is working back there, though. I will say that stores with deli sections typically have their own cold room/walk-in-fridge for open containers and the like.
