Erik Anderson unfortunately some places are very different than this. I work as an assistant overnight manager at my local grocery store and some of these drink vendors and beer vendors have to deal with some pretty shitty people during the early store hours.
Austin Tyler The Creator can confirm, I work for another company but doing pretty much this and you have to put up with crappy store managers and store receivers and what not. This is actually pretty wholesome. A lot of my coworkers are very much “we don’t like our job but there’s not much else we can do about it” type of mentality. A good amount of that mentality is all personal mindset but it doesn’t make it all that good of a job either.
ChiefianAxolotl I have seen some of the shit that the vendors have to deal with when working with receivers and some of them absolutely hate there life because of that lol. I almost worked as a Pepsi vendor before the job I’m doing now and honestly am glad I didn’t, the area I am in is terrible for vendors it seems like.
My sisters husband works for coke, and I always thought it was weird that the drivers are the one to restock the pop, I always thought that would be the store’s employees job
I work for HARBOR(Beer) which is the same family business as REYES(Coke) but drivers only restock at gas stations 7/11 liquors etc on the big stores they just deliver.
seems like a hard job, now I get to think of this when I buy something to drink at the convenience store, all the hard work these people put into bringing that single bottle to a customer is amazing.
"I like to rotate the cokes from left to right because as a costumer you open the fridge and what's the first thing that you grab? That way the costumer always gets his drink cold" I love the dedication and happiness on you, always doing a good job.
Dude this is a great video, hella underrated, great cola delivery employee “rotate the sodas to the right so the customer can always get the coldest drink”
I'm 19 and I'm currently the grocery department head at Kroger Central in Terre Haute, IN. My crew tends to stock our trademarked brands and many other brands as well. But these merchandisers (we call them vendors) stock their respective products on our shelves. Just like this Coke Vendor, he will stock and replenish all Coca Cola products in the store. But a lot of our vendors are much less motivated and productive. They destroy and take up most of our back room where we unload the trucks. They almost never fill coolers or displays with their products. They tend to use up our skyshelves (where we put extra items that are full on the shelves). And they are more-often-than-not rude and ignorant in their work ethic. So major kudos to this guy. We need more merchandisers like him everywhere!
I don't know where you live.. But the opposite seems to happen at the stores I work at.. Store employees talking more than working, they take down vendor displays with little or no notice, they make unrealistic demands last minute with no prior communication.
I like how you are very positive and enthusiastic. I've seen a few different vendor drivers coming into our backroom and they all have that blank facial expression and are quiet with everyone. You however seem like a genuine driver who loves what he does. I respect that. :)
Maybe y’all do it different, but I worked for CCBCC(coca cola bottling company consolidated) as a merchandiser driver. I started work at 4 am and didn’t get back till usually 5pm. I was pushing my 14hr clock every day. We were not paid hourly. We got paid $120 a day plus 7¢ per case we delivered and our overtime was calculated using some formula because we weren’t hourly workers. One 2 week paycheck I had 40 hrs overtime(80 reg hrs plus 40 OT hrs = 120 hrs worked) so needless to say I worked my butt off. When I got my pay stub and I looked at line that says OT pay, I got paid $235 for my 40 hrs overtime. That means my hourly OT rate was about 4/hr. That was the final straw for me. When I started out my day my trailer was always loaded full. From the front to back. I would hardly have room for my pallet jack and coolift. Yea I had a few pallets on there for bulk stops like Walmart, and big chain grocery stores, but I would usually have 4-5 RDs for every stop. I feel like they knew they were paying us next to nothing for OT so the loaded ya down for 12 hr days purposely to save money. I mean it made sense from a company stand point. If you have 15 guys working 12 hr days. To get us to 8 hr days That equals 22 employees needed to cover. Why hire 7 extra guys, trucks and trailers and Pay those 7 extra guys the same 120 a day plus 7¢ per case, when you can get 15 guys to work 60 hrs of over time combined a day to make up the difference and when You’re only paying them about 4/hr for OT, it makes sense to do that. Plus our area is rural so it’s spread out. A lot of drive time. Like I said, I wasn’t paid hourly. I was paid $120 a day plus what I delivered. When you’re in the truck driving you technically aren’t making any money. The route I had, once a week, had a stop an hr and a half away from the work center. So the hour and a half drive back was essentially me driving the truck for free and not getting paid. If this guys right, y’all sound a lot better then the one I worked for. Hopefully he is truthful. I was worked to death for about 4-$5/hr above minimum wage pay by the time you calculated my pay divided by my hrs worked. And don’t forget, you have to have a class A cdl to drive the trucks. That’s a skill I wasn’t being fairly compensated for. Sorry for the rant, just had to warn people. Different areas around the US has different Coca Cola companies distributing Coca Cola products. Look in to yours specifically. This guy worked for a different distributor than I did.
I hope every single person who gets inspired to do this job just by watching this video sees your comment. You are speaking 100% truth. Each branch is different as each route can be different. Some can be easy or hard. The people at your stops can make or break the job for you as well as your presalesman or any driver that just left your route. It can be a great job or it can be a nightmare. Good for getting started and working your way up. Staying factor depends on way too many variables.
Its weird how its 2019 and this video from 2017 randomly getting recommended. Whats even more weird is the driver is stocking the drinks and not the store employees.
@@txhorror74 my facility the stores do it. Only places we stock for small store is dollar general, family dollar and cvs/Walgreens. All those gas stations and liquor stores and everything else we just drop it off.
WisdomRL pretty sure it is. I am an ASM at a DG and most of the time I have to check in these vendors but that’s it they stock their coolers and displays.
Bro I used to work at a gas station that got deliveries like these. The stuff he's doing at 3:36 is honestly what the gas station/convenience store employee should be doing.
The reason that he’s stocking the shelves is because he’s a merchandiser. The store employees stock some items, but some vendors stock and rotate their own items. I used to work at a grocery store and we had some vendors that would deliver and stock their products.
that's the procedure , if the driver gets injured doing it the legal shit is crazy he is supposed to just deliver it and leave lol well that's how it is in australia anyways
wow,,, having to stock all the coolers is horrible. these stores are taking advantage of you giving all this free labor. they have workers, they should stock their own shelves and coolers
@@james11h As somebody doing the same job he is, I care. It would be so much nicer if the people working at the stores were the ones to stock their own coolers. Just because we get paid hourly doesn't mean I want to spend 12-14 hours a day out doing it.
Jeffrey Muu I don’t think many people strive to be a Coca-Cola driver. Teachers have years of training, while a cocacola driver wouldn’t take much of a degree
I think it's a bit crazy how the Driver has to stock as well. That's the part i wouldn't like at all. The people working at the Gas Station should be responsible for stocking what they've ordered.
I've been driving commercial truck since 2014,and let me tell you I works for coke for a couple years. it was by far the worst driving job i have ever experienced in my career! Coca-Cola pays their drivers on salary which may sounds nice on paper but when they make you work 12-hour days it comes out to about $8 an hour and it's very exhausting very demanding jobs. It's hard on your back they overload your truck and schedule with way too many stops approximately 30 to 40 stops per day. And you're in and out of the truck lumping heavy product all day long ups and down stairs in and out of doors in the heat and you have to deal with gas stations, bars, and businesses, and everybody treats you like crap and expect you to stalk every bottle on the Shelf clean up all your spills and they want you to go above and beyond for them as if you work for them wasting all your time when they know you're on salary pay. The only person in the company that makes good money into owner and a he doesn't do shit except hang out in his air-conditioned office and play with his balls. The higher-ups treat you like crap and they lack maintenance on their trucks. Unless it's an issue that keeps the truck from driving they don't fix it. all the trucks that we had at the plant in Montana did not have radios, air conditioning, had holes in the seats and they were filthy! All that money Coke makes and they don't put any of it back in their truck or take care of their drivers. When I ended my employment at Coke I was the happiest I have ever been in my life and would never think about going back in a million years! This type of job is for new people that get their CDLs or want to earn their CDLs and they don't know anything about Trucking and they think this job is as good as it gets and in a few years they will learn the hard way after they get fired or quit. Pepsi is way better tasting that coke but I hear they're horrible to work for as well. I want to say screw you Coca-Cola quit dumping so much money in your corporate advertisements and start treating your employees better. I would love to see the managers lose their air conditioning in the office when the drivers are the ones that need it they're out in the field sweating there asses lumping your product all day. PS Coke sucks!
I agree somewhat... I only drive for Coca-Cola for 4 months before I started looking for another job. My paychecks were wrong EVERY week. I kept a spreadsheet to calculate my commission and they were always off. After I quit I received several reimbursement checks for their fuck up. I started working as a garbageman for Waste Management and within 2 yrs I got to full scale which is in the mid 30 dollar range. By far better than the 50.00 a day and commission bullshit.
Alright now show the true side when the pallets fall over, and gas station attendants asking you to do everything in their store for them. 😂 sweet video though. Was cool to see the different things drivers in other states do.
This is common in food industry, people with let's say 10 years of seniority have sweet stops. People like me that are new, better hold on to your jimmiez lil Timmy...
Drive, deliver, check items, rotate, stock, facing, move on. Sounds fun. I face items at safeway, but that looks more enjoyable, and facing drinks is much easier.
I thought the same thing. I always see the employees of the station stocking it, but someone else in a different comment mentioned he's a driver merch. So he does both and gets paid a bit more than just a driver who delivers.
israel pinto lmao dude this is the easiest job . I’m pretty sure he gets payed decent just to stock. Shit ima over here climbing 80 feet towers and were probably getting paid the same
go into a walmart or target or kroger in the early morning i mean like 6 am and many times you will see people stoking shelves that are not in the stores uniform. they are the vendors for the companies. like coke and pepsi, and frito-lay and mike sells. all the bread guys ect. they bring the product in, stock the shelves and put what wont fit up as backstock. then they write an order based on how much backstock they have and the stores sales volume for the next delivery, many times the next day. I worked for frito for a few months and i promise the jobs are much harder than these videos make them seem. and many times with long hours. also the part he kind of skips over in this video is just getting into receiving. I've stood out in the pouring rain for 30 minutes at 4 am to get into a walmart before. product in boxes getting soaked while i wait. there are certainly route you can get that are easier and days that just go well, but guys with senoirity take them and for every nice day theres usually many bad ones. lol the job gave me more stress than i cared for so i left. more power to this guy he's happy as shit lol.
I respect this guys enthusiasm and work ethic for the purpose of the job...I literally tip my hat off to him. My driving job consists of 3 hours driving a day and a 4-5 hour rest period based on a steady 5 day week.Early knock off on a Saturday morn for the equivalent of 50-60K per year...I count myself lucky. This guy has the drive, the attitude and the productivity that any employer would want working for their company!
Valiant Film Productions True words. It’s not always the money either but the lifestyle, morale and job satisfaction. Thanks for the insight into the life of a Coca Cola trucker. Greetings from the UK by the way and I’ve officially subscribed! Stay safe 👍

"Lets go deliver some coke today" he couldnt wait to say that
Made me chuckle lol

Where I’m from they have coke drivers drop it off then their coke employers fill it not the drivers
That's the way it should be! Merchandising eats up too much time!

my man: just some coke.
Such a happy guy who enjoys his work...great video love it

Yup, in the same boat here....
I like how you are very positive and enthusiastic. I've seen a few different vendor drivers coming into our backroom and they all have that blank facial expression and are quiet with everyone. You however seem like a genuine driver who loves what he does. I respect that. :)
Because deep down they hate their job and they just trying to make ends meet
“ Let’s Go Deliver Some Coke Today “ 🤣🤣
That side Hustle tho 🤪
The fact that you replace all cokes and other drinks in their respected places for the store is an extra mile not many people go to, I respect that.
Came from a day in a life of fedex driver to a coca cola video
Same

It’s nice to see someone who enjoys their job, what a genuine dude 👍

Thank you for the video PJ. You take extreme pride in what you do contributing to society.
I think it's a bit crazy how the Driver has to stock as well. That's the part i wouldn't like at all. The people working at the Gas Station should be responsible for stocking what they've ordered.
the gas station I worked at we where supposed to stock when it was slow and I had someone else working with me I would help the driver out sometimes
at my coke we just started a small store merchandiser position so the driver doesn't have to do it.

All that money Coke makes and they don't put any of it back in their truck or take care of their drivers. When I ended my employment at Coke I was the happiest I have ever been in my life and would never think about going back in a million years! This type of job is for new people that get their CDLs or want to earn their CDLs and they don't know anything about Trucking and they think this job is as good as it gets and in a few years they will learn the hard way after they get fired or quit. Pepsi is way better tasting that coke but I hear they're horrible to work for as well. I want to say screw you Coca-Cola quit dumping so much money in your corporate advertisements and start treating your employees better. I would love to see the managers lose their air conditioning in the office when the drivers are the ones that need it they're out in the field sweating there asses lumping your product all day. PS Coke sucks!
I agree somewhat... I only drive for Coca-Cola for 4 months before I started looking for another job. My paychecks were wrong EVERY week. I kept a spreadsheet to calculate my commission and they were always off. After I quit I received several reimbursement checks for their fuck up. I started working as a garbageman for Waste Management and within 2 yrs I got to full scale which is in the mid 30 dollar range. By far better than the 50.00 a day and commission bullshit.
I love that he seems to love his job...its nice
Alright now show the true side when the pallets fall over, and gas station attendants asking you to do everything in their store for them. 😂 sweet video though. Was cool to see the different things drivers in other states do.
This is common in food industry, people with let's say 10 years of seniority have sweet stops. People like me that are new, better hold on to your jimmiez lil Timmy...
He seems pretty happy. That cool to see
i will see all of you when this gets recommended again.
If you love what you do, this is the attitude you must have. This guy loves his job
A hardworking American !!!
Just me or is youtube all in a sudden recommending “A Day in life as a....” work video.
Tricky this is my 3rd “day in the life of” video
Either this guys too happy or he gets paid REALLY well
Playur Truck drivers get paid REALLY well. Having a CDL has its perks.
Truckers gets paid quite well surprisingly
positive person
Thanks for the dose of positivity PJ! You are the greatness of hard work and dedication
You suck
UA-cam: you want to watch a guy work?
Me after working all day: *SHIT YA*
Why am I watching this? It is midnight lol
Nice video anyway. I really enjoyed it!
One more thing: Can I have some Cola?
same here its 12.45 🤣
5:45 in the morning. Tomorrow is gonna be a long one 😔
3:06 rn
Fuuuuck stocking shelves . Drop and go !! Lol.
Drive, deliver, check items, rotate, stock, facing, move on. Sounds fun. I face items at safeway, but that looks more enjoyable, and facing drinks is much easier.
"Let's go deliver some Coke today."
Delivers crates full of Fanta.
when you realize that coke owns all these other soft drinks that you never knew thought were owned by coke because you are used to just seeing coke
Icecube88 exactly.. I worked for budweiser and was blown away at all the different brands.. we even sold red bull
why tf do they make you stock shelves, in our store our employees do it, during slow hours, smh that's messed up!
I thought the same thing. I always see the employees of the station stocking it, but someone else in a different comment mentioned he's a driver merch. So he does both and gets paid a bit more than just a driver who delivers.
@@DrZiggyzoo1 But thats actually so fucking inefficient though. Why would that job even exist? wtf lol
israel pinto lmao dude this is the easiest job . I’m pretty sure he gets payed decent just to stock. Shit ima over here climbing 80 feet towers and were probably getting paid the same
go into a walmart or target or kroger in the early morning i mean like 6 am and many times you will see people stoking shelves that are not in the stores uniform. they are the vendors for the companies. like coke and pepsi, and frito-lay and mike sells. all the bread guys ect. they bring the product in, stock the shelves and put what wont fit up as backstock. then they write an order based on how much backstock they have and the stores sales volume for the next delivery, many times the next day. I worked for frito for a few months and i promise the jobs are much harder than these videos make them seem. and many times with long hours. also the part he kind of skips over in this video is just getting into receiving. I've stood out in the pouring rain for 30 minutes at 4 am to get into a walmart before. product in boxes getting soaked while i wait. there are certainly route you can get that are easier and days that just go well, but guys with senoirity take them and for every nice day theres usually many bad ones. lol the job gave me more stress than i cared for so i left. more power to this guy he's happy as shit lol.
His coke buddy called in sick 🤒
Merching was the worst part of this job! Especially for Walgreens, CVS, and gas stations. THEIR employees should be the ones stocking their own shit!
Loved your positive attitude dude!
"Lets deliver some coke today!"
*delivers Fanta*
Can tell this guy loves his job
I respect this guys enthusiasm and work ethic for the purpose of the job...I literally tip my hat off to him. My driving job consists of 3 hours driving a day and a 4-5 hour rest period based on a steady 5 day week.Early knock off on a Saturday morn for the equivalent of 50-60K per year...I count myself lucky. This guy has the drive, the attitude and the productivity that any employer would want working for their company!
