Jackson Allen Im sorry...all I can imagine is someone getting buried under that avalanche of studs. Real safety hazard. Thats why they push out the caution gate. Nobody’s company will pay employees to catch pallets of wood in their hands. Safer to let it all fall then play mop up.
As a former Home Depot associate in lumber I've seen this many times but it's mostly because the unit wasn't properly placed or the stickers was incorrect so whoever put it there should be held accountable
And that is why you were only a home depot associate. If you were a real forklift operator you would know that that load is too heavy for how high he is lifting The dude just straight up doesn't know how to operate one
One stack at a time. Or take it down one board at a time. Hand over hand until the lift can handle the load. Lazy crazy and stupid should never work on the same task at once.
getting a forklift cert isnt that hard hell you don't even need a drivers license typically you need to check if your forlift can handle the weight its about to pick usually being around 2 pallets or 6000 pounds, you also have to account for slopes and speed your driving. needless to say the fact he picked up what seemed to be 2 bunks of wood is ballsy
That's how it is when you drive a fork truck I drive one at work everyday and people are always telling me what to do, and most of them aren't certified to even drive a fork truck, it's retarded
That's what happens when you hire 50 year old Susan's who couldn't tell the difference between a Phillips and Flat at a hardware store, old women need jobs to but that's what JC Penny's is for
What's wrong ? He got the wood down and now it's at a reduced price. Safe work at it's finest. With so many employees blocking the aisle, how could anyone possibly get hurt? Bravo !!!
Whoever the jackass that was directing him how to do it was annoying and didn't know shit! Telling him to tilt the load foward when you're supposed to tilt it backwards so all the weight is towards the forklift. He probably would have been fine then. I just wanted to jump through the screen and do it myself
GUARDIAN702 I work for lowes I'm lumber and I been there 2 years now. And I'm tired of piece of shit like you ! You want straight Lumber ? Pay the fucking price for straight Lumber and don't be picking through our #2 And #3 grade boards and throwing what you do not like on the floor. I'M SICK OF IT. I have to pick up shit all the time because of ass holes like you. Fuck you go to home depot or something and do that shit or buy #1 Grade.
GUARDIAN702 how about I come to your house and tip over your bookshelf, TV, and smash your game console just to even the score? You throw half a bunk on the ground just for one piece of wood? Dumbass. You're the guy we talk shit about in the break room.
cmndrkool321 You talk shit about straingers in the break room? Your probably single. If not you get punkd by your chick. Your not gonna win in here dude. Youguys restock some fucked up shit. This whole team in this video fucked up.
I love when people do that when im on the lift, I'll just slam the forks down, pull the brake lever back, jump off and go here you go, you wanna do it? They go umm no, and I'll go good then stfu and go away.
@@english_muffinss I did that a few times so far and still get a laugh out of it every time ... I also get a laugh when people tell me I don't know how to drive a forklift yet I operate them with more skill then other's who have years more experience than me ...
They could have strapped those 2 pallets together , on each end ( the 2x4's are 8' at least ) .go up on the side with a Raymond Order Picker , keep pressure on the load . ..could have been avoided .. no ?
That's because none of those Associates work in the electrical department. Just because you work at Lowe's doesn't mean you're going to automatically know every department. They all looked at each other because they were finding the electrical associate. He was on lunch at the time of place.
I can't stand anyone just watching me at work when there's a really hard task like this that requires concentration. When the first person started gawking I know what I would have done because I've done it plenty of times before. I'd shut the lift off and walk away and ask everyone if they have anything better to do than watch me.
A spotter isn't a bad thing but they should also be an experienced operator. Actually even more the the guy on the machine. Giving less experienced operators get some time operatoring is also important. But there is way to many here. I'm a Forklift driver and from time to time I ask a spotter to help out. Especially when there's a lot of people walking around on a busy dynamic loading dock. Or in a retaill situation like this. But I pick who I trust. And always they have to be good operators themselves.
@bluegrassman3040 that good to here I'm glad you haven't had to many Accidents after what a year of operating. There are operators that have had there ticket fir 10 years but only drive a couple of times a week or even less that can say they have never had an accident. But it's relative to the Hours of operation that makes it impressive or not. Otherwise it doesn't really mean anything to say you haven't had an accident. So what how many hours have you operated for example. Tell me that after operating for 40+ hours a week then I'll be impressed.

I am a forklift operator at an actual lumberyard and this is just pathetic, take the top bundle set it on the ground and use the tilt back to grab the debanded bundle, and grab as much as you can and even if a quarter of the unit falls atleast you have a partial stack. GOOFS
Yeah, I was wondering how high his forks can go. Why is he picking up 2 units with such low backrests, especially 2 units with a rolled unit on the bottom with no banding. I would have done either what you said, but if the forks on that lift can't go that high, I would have gone all the way up on it, and tilted all the way back and then lowered it. The backests will keep the bottom rolled unit in place and the top unit should be just fine. I work at a lumber mill, have driven a Hyster XL for 6 years, and have dealt with MANY rolled units of lumber.
thats what i was thinking i feel so bad for the kid. I mean forklifts aren't this hard really but you need experience. poor guy has all these people watching and can probably barley think straight
Not all of us stand around. Our policy at my store is to run to get it even if it isn't your dept. I'm a pro service loader. I have run across the store to hit a button
James Foskey how is it too high? That’s easily reachable. You could definitely get the top stack without getting the bottom because of the runners underneath the bunk that separate the two. That’s the entire point of them so the forks can easily get them
No the problem is the lower bunk had came unbanded and he couldnt get under the top one without further messing the bottom one up. So he unfortunately had to do this. I dont know why it couldnt wait until after hours
This doesn’t occur at any Amazon warehouse, their employees don’t even have time to use the restroom to pee! Why do they hire all these lazy asses all the time?
hairoftehdog. reminds me the city of phoenix one working eight standing around when jobs done they all start saying man that guy works hard lets go get a beer
i use to work at lowes. i can assure you each location has about 50-60 employees on the clock at all times. but 30-40 of them camp thier whole shift in the break room
At mine there are like 20. When it's 9pm you see all the workers cars. They have so many employees. Wal-Mart down the street is richer and only has 1 cashier and stocker
I worked at a home depot and one key they always tell you is to not double stack lumber while lifting. Home depot always had the best forklifts and all of em are durable 💪🏽🤘🏽
The workers must not like the forklift operator They are obviously standing around watching to make him nervous Just look at them judging the poor guy Those "workers" should of been fired
Yeah I blame that idiot too. Giving him wrong tips. Should’ve had an extension or should’ve moved forward too push the load into the mast then tip the mast back
I know lots of people who have driven fork lifts but never a fork truck..... Is that like a truck that delivers forks? And the guy in the blue is the idiot.
Jason Y he wasnt giving him tips to save the load he was giving him tips on how to let the load drop as safely as possible. No driver was gonna save that from falling so he was making sure it was done in the safest way possible
I worked at Lowe’s for 2 years. Those forklifts are not designed to carry the weight of 2 bunks of lumber at a time. Absolutely the drivers fault for trying to take shortcuts. And everyone is faulting the spectators for not doing anything, for one, there’s nothing they can do, and 2 they’re not allowed to. Once an aisle is blocked, no one’s allowed In, not even an employee.
tay gai that’s what you’re worried about? They get paid $10 an hour this took about 5 minutes so they each wasted about a dollar and you’re seriously telling me that if you worked at fucking Lowe’s and this shit happened at your work you wouldn’t go watch that shit fall too quit getting butthurt about people with minimum wage positions
I used to work at a warehouse and this was my number one fear. My boss told me though to never try and pick up 2 bundles of anything at the same time unless they were wrapped.
I worked night stock at Lowes, and I have never attempted to lift more than one bundle at a time. The last thing you want to chance is a complete collapse and going over the load limit of the forklift. Also, one wrong move and you could have multiple collapse of the racking, it doesn't take much. Granted that the lumber is on cantilever racking, but the adjoining racking can still be adversely affected. The closest thing I had to a similar situation, was a pallet of disassembled wheelbarrows that started to come apart up in the top-racking as I was lifting them off the racking to bring them down. I managed to save the situation, with no help or onlookers.
Ya know what's wierd?! Is the act of dropping all of those literally cripples me in anxiety, yet the thought of picking them up one at a time and being the guy to fix it comforts me.
At the end of this occurrence all the employees scattered like roaches to their smoking break, the break room, and other parts unseen by customers. I've never seen that many of them in one place....heck, I've never seen that many during an entire trip to their store!
You that's a good point I've ever only seen the 2 cashiers and the one person in the paint section along with the random guy walking around pretending to work, never this many
I was thinking the same thing. And then some dumbshit tells him to tilt down and then bring it down. No tilt back then lift up a bit and back up some so you’re not riding the pallet below. Wtf.
Dell Scotten bro, do you even lift? As in forklift lol There IS an option of tilting up or down, you know. Granted, idk if this specific lift has said capabilities, but I'd figure it does
bob knar legally you can't work at lowes or Home Depot unless your 18. You must be 18 to drive lift trucks. Yes it is very nerve racking to drive lift trucks for most of us. Doesn't mean I won't do it but I don't like doing it. Maybe if you're comfortable doing that kind of work and you don't really care that's great but when you work part time till you can start a real career you get pretty stressed having to do that kind of stuff. It's the companies faults for improper training. Why is it all the safety training is on the computer?
Don't fire the spotter. There's supposed to be someone (ONE person, lol) watching the aisle adjacent to this one while the forklift guy is pulling the lumber.
I used to work at home depot. Too many women employees. They couldn't drive the forklifts, couldn't lift anything, had no knowledge of the products. They were literally useless. They would have me running around from dept to department all day doing everything because the women were totally helpless. I know that doesn't quite apply to the video, just thought I'd share
Fact is when it comes to physical labor women will fall short. Not all but a majority will simply because genetics. I do not agree with equal pay in these situations.
This is actually standard practice. I worked at a Lowes lumber department for six years. The actual problem here was attempting to put a "rolled' unit on the stack with another unit above it. You just don't do that. The rolled unit needs to be placed on it's own cantilever rack, or worked into the active bay. The person who was working was an idiot.
Shit happens, but at Lowe’s or Home Depot they act like it’s the end of the world. Come work in a real lumber yard and this shit is nothing, especially in the winter
John Riley I typically don’t build lumber loads unless we are slow that day, I work with engineered lumber such as ijoice and lvls which are anywhere from 6 ft to 48ft. So moving 2x really isn’t that bad
Outdoors Minnesota I'm in pressure treating. All of our bundles come from the mill so the only time anything gets stacked is if it gets dropped. Those untreated 2x4's just love to slide around lol.
My only question is why would they only have 7 employees standing around? I truly believe if 10 additional employees were added to stand around and stare, this would have never happened.
Reminds me of one time I was working in a multiproduct warehouse. We were working with salsa displays that day and one of of the forklifts had picked up one of them to take to the wrapper. However on his way over there, the pallet the display was on broke sending who knows how many jars of Pace Salsa to the floor. Salsa went everywhere and it took ages to clean up, and the warehouse smelled like the stuff for the next few days.
Be glad it wasn't a case of Repel-All or Liquid Fence. One night, a co-worker came up to me complaining that he dropped a case of Repel-All AND Liquid Fence in the seasonal department, (I was working Tool-World). I helped him to clean up the super offensive mess (I have a "cast-iron" stomach) and he was ready to vomit. The birds in the overhead were awakened by the stench and started dive-bombing him. LOL
David Fubuster I love ace too, mostly because they have dog food too. Not enough lumber or materials for bigger jobs but ace definitely has the best employees
Mr Leon sometimes lifts can’t reach that high. We used to be forced to do that at this country rural place where they didn’t give a shit about our safety. Just work work work.
Right? Something isnt right though. Both pallets got up there, but they can't get them down? If they put both up with the same lift, then it should be able to get both down. Maybe they hand stacked extra 2x4s on later to make it heavier, or used a different lift last time to put them up. As another poster wrote earlier, just about everything that could make this video a fail was done. This was the lottery fail
Mr Leon same thing I said... Or had another forklift on the other side ready to catch the good bale of 2x4s so you can just focus on the faulty one... Idk
I do call things like this out. You have 6 associates or more standing around for 10min or more, and theirs nothing they can do to help while the forklift is being used. As SOON as everything falls apart, and theirs work to be done, everyone starts to leave. If they would all help, That mess could be cleaned up and organized in about 10 minutes smh But I blame managers for allowing it to be like that. If I were the Manager I’d announce that everyone standing around watching will help clean up the aisle.
Yep, that's Lowes. One person working. Nine people watching.
gremlinsbreath Just like the TSA people at the airport..
Me too lol like do these people have NOTHING to do?
that's the safety committee
gremlinsbreath home depot is better
The Rocket Brother PNW that's right they have 20 people watching..instead of 9
When it came time to help restack those 2x4's ..... all those spectators vanished .
I work at Lowe’s and do all the grunt work. I can confirm that when a helping hand is needed, all your old age co-workers vanish without a trace.
Then you do a job at these people's house and they bitch at your hourly rate.
@Justin R why not just tell your boss if the old lady isn't gonna be doing the grunt work neither am I that's what I would do
So true 😂
@@justinr2564 Not ALL of us "old age co-workers", I helped wherever and whenever I could. I'm not afraid of work, like many young-uns.

Better add 'teen' to the end of it!
Richard Wolfe I work at Lowe’s, that is the true mystery

Technically a forklift only needs one spotter. Those others ought to get back to their department.
So much pressure on the forklift driver, every single damn employee at Lowe's is watching him.
I can't stand anyone just watching me at work when there's a really hard task like this that requires concentration.

Not all of us stand around. Our policy at my store is to run to get it even if it isn't your dept. I'm a pro service loader. I have run across the store to hit a button
The man clapping knocked me out 🤣
That's why you take ONE stack at a time. Retraining needed.
@jason Patterson someone put both stacks up there at the same time. The top stack is too high for the lift to reach it.
He's not even up high
James Foskey how is it too high? That’s easily reachable. You could definitely get the top stack without getting the bottom because of the runners underneath the bunk that separate the two. That’s the entire point of them so the forks can easily get them
No the problem is the lower bunk had came unbanded and he couldnt get under the top one without further messing the bottom one up. So he unfortunately had to do this. I dont know why it couldnt wait until after hours
@@jamesfoskey2804 nope it isnt.
I count 8 employees standing around, just watching...
These are probably the same people who complain about being underpaid
This doesn’t occur at any Amazon warehouse, their employees don’t even have time to use the restroom to pee! Why do they hire all these lazy asses all the time?
hairoftehdog. reminds me the city of phoenix one working eight standing around when jobs done they all start saying man that guy works hard lets go get a beer
they got rid of all of them now the left are pissed they want a revolution
Supervisors
You are A dumbass lol
really surprised lowes has that many workers. i usually only see 2 at one location.
Daniel H come.to the one in Wooster Ohio. We got a shit load ready to help
ghostdasquarian I live in a commercial area so any hardware store around me has an employee around every corner asking if I need help.. so annoying
i use to work at lowes. i can assure you each location has about 50-60 employees on the clock at all times. but 30-40 of them camp thier whole shift in the break room
At mine there are like 20. When it's 9pm you see all the workers cars. They have so many employees. Wal-Mart down the street is richer and only has 1 cashier and stocker
They bracket town for everyone safety
The dude clapping for all the hip holders was awesome. Good work team haha
I worked at a home depot and one key they always tell you is to not double stack lumber while lifting. Home depot always had the best forklifts and all of em are durable 💪🏽🤘🏽
The workers must not like the forklift operator
They are obviously standing around watching to make him nervous
Just look at them judging the poor guy
Those "workers" should of been fired
they're all boomers lol
Miguel E that shit gets intense with those 2 bys
🤣💯
@KMac 💯
@KMac utube are you a good person by living waters
I like the idiot in the blue vest telling him what to do. Prob never drove a forktruck in his life.
hes the manager lol
Yeah I blame that idiot too. Giving him wrong tips. Should’ve had an extension or should’ve moved forward too push the load into the mast then tip the mast back
I know lots of people who have driven fork lifts but never a fork truck..... Is that like a truck that delivers forks? And the guy in the blue is the idiot.
Jason Y he wasnt giving him tips to save the load he was giving him tips on how to let the load drop as safely as possible. No driver was gonna save that from falling so he was making sure it was done in the safest way possible
He was a manager and all managers at lowes is required to be trained on all power equipment incase they are needed.
That guy that came in clapping is an undercover boss lmaoooo
I worked at Lowe’s for 2 years. Those forklifts are not designed to carry the weight of 2 bunks of lumber at a time. Absolutely the drivers fault for trying to take shortcuts. And everyone is faulting the spectators for not doing anything, for one, there’s nothing they can do, and 2 they’re not allowed to. Once an aisle is blocked, no one’s allowed In, not even an employee.
And in the other side there's a big crowd of people waiting for cashiers cuz all the employees are just standing there.
Now they have the Home Depot bend in them.
Lmao! True statement.
Lol the home depot bend.
LOL!
YEP, they sure do..
ROFL
You recently got hired at Lowe’s and you was searching your job title and ran into this
I always wondered why you can never find help most times at Lowe's...now i know🤔
Magregor Swift You need help finding some tools? No wonder this generation always wants a reward for anything they do
Naw...
Magregor Swift Its sad being that lazy like you. Can’t put their brain to use for simple things
I work 14 hour days...
U must bored...laying around like can cause bed sores
love how 10 of his co workers got paid to watch the fun
lowes is a shitty place to work. I work there.
tay gai that’s what you’re worried about? They get paid $10 an hour this took about 5 minutes so they each wasted about a dollar and you’re seriously telling me that if you worked at fucking Lowe’s and this shit happened at your work you wouldn’t go watch that shit fall too quit getting butthurt about people with minimum wage positions
Jiju j no. Wal-Mart is the shittiest place to work
Robby Leonard for every $1 they waste the company loses even more.
JonFFavale no they just lose the dollar they wasted
I used to work at a warehouse and this was my number one fear. My boss told me though to never try and pick up 2 bundles of anything at the same time unless they were wrapped.
I literally just thought that out loud, it's common sense I didn't need to be told not to do that, the shit just look dangerous asf
I worked night stock at Lowes, and I have never attempted to lift more than one bundle at a time. The last thing you want to chance is a complete collapse and going over the load limit of the forklift. Also, one wrong move and you could have multiple collapse of the racking, it doesn't take much. Granted that the lumber is on cantilever racking, but the adjoining racking can still be adversely affected. The closest thing I had to a similar situation, was a pallet of disassembled wheelbarrows that started to come apart up in the top-racking as I was lifting them off the racking to bring them down. I managed to save the situation, with no help or onlookers.
My boss told me never carry two crates stacked on each other. Didn’t listen to him and I learnt the hard way 😂
Ya know what's wierd?! Is the act of dropping all of those literally cripples me in anxiety, yet the thought of picking them up one at a time and being the guy to fix it comforts me.
That customer clapping 😂😂😂😂 you know every employee standing around gawking is a master at forklift driving
The dude that was clapping😂
At the end of this occurrence all the employees scattered like roaches to their smoking break, the break room, and other parts unseen by customers. I've never seen that many of them in one place....heck, I've never seen that many during an entire trip to their store!
Ryan Butler lmfao
Lmao exactly, i never knew there was that money employees there at Lowes. Smh
Ryan Butler customer assistance was called and nobody moved. Lol
You that's a good point I've ever only seen the 2 cashiers and the one person in the paint section along with the random guy walking around pretending to work, never this many
Ryan Butler facts
That's the most employees I've ever seen at a Lowe's.
Whole team there to watch, they knew he was gonna make a mess
Who else spent 2 minutes and 27 seconds thinking "TILT UP, TILT UP, TILT UP!"? 😂
Maka'ainana I was thinking: hurry up and fall, i don't have all day, how long is this video?
Maka'ainana Because there is NO " tilt up ".......its " lift up" or it's " tilt back" ! That's like saying "raise it down" !
I was thinking the same thing. And then some dumbshit tells him to tilt down and then bring it down. No tilt back then lift up a bit and back up some so you’re not riding the pallet below. Wtf.
Dell Scotten bro, do you even lift? As in forklift lol
There IS an option of tilting up or down, you know. Granted, idk if this specific lift has said capabilities, but I'd figure it does
Me, while questioning why not take the bundle on top off first.
Random contractor comes up, hey I need six bundles of 2x4's loaded into my ford ranger from 1989 with a 4 foot bed...
lmao
This is accurate
That's the only way to do it! Why show up with the right truck lol?
HJW Pumps and the it’s the bed with the side step built into the bed of the truck so it’s like 1/3 less space then normal
bob knar legally you can't work at lowes or Home Depot unless your 18. You must be 18 to drive lift trucks. Yes it is very nerve racking to drive lift trucks for most of us. Doesn't mean I won't do it but I don't like doing it. Maybe if you're comfortable doing that kind of work and you don't really care that's great but when you work part time till you can start a real career you get pretty stressed having to do that kind of stuff. It's the companies faults for improper training. Why is it all the safety training is on the computer?
Meanwhile I'm waiting for a cashier while 17 employees are just standing there
"You got it Orlando"
Pallet breaks
Attention Lowe's shoppers:
We just crashed the price of two-by-fours in aisle 8!
I would (FIRE EVERYONE) except the lift operator for lack of production and riding the clock.
6 people there watching , and only one guy working LMAO 😂 😂
No kidding, at least the operator was actually working.
That's why paying people by the hour is a joke
Don't fire the spotter. There's supposed to be someone (ONE person, lol) watching the aisle adjacent to this one while the forklift guy is pulling the lumber.
I know the feeling, 5 different people telling one person 5 different ways to do it all at one time.
Great to see the guy on the forklift has a bunch of experts watching.
He was set up . 👎
Mark Contreras someone its going out of the store with lots of free merchandise
Good video. Showed the importance of safety. Everyone who is watching is learning to not be afraid to speak up when something is unsafe.
Perfect time to steal something 😂😂
Funny how after the damage is done.. the rest of employees just leaves... LoL 😂😆
🤣
No wonder all the two-by-fours look like pretzels
That's not how you play Jenga
Rofl this is the new version: Jenga Piss-cup lol
@@pws3rd170 piss-cup!?!?!
LOL got to love the "ASsIsTeNcE in Electrical..." page at the beginning.
3:54
Intercom: Clean up in aisle 18.
All the employees ..... Gone!! 🤣😂
Too much people watching. Made the poor guy nervous! 😓
Yep, it WOOD've made me nervous, too
I used to work at home depot. Too many women employees. They couldn't drive the forklifts, couldn't lift anything, had no knowledge of the products. They were literally useless. They would have me running around from dept to department all day doing everything because the women were totally helpless. I know that doesn't quite apply to the video, just thought I'd share
bull
I drive 18 wheelers and deliver loads of lumber and etc to home depots and the fastest one to unload me is a girl
the rest take too long
I fuckin HATE just Hearing this shit...because their day is easy yours is HARD...i hate LAZY
Fact is when it comes to physical labor women will fall short. Not all but a majority will simply because genetics. I do not agree with equal pay in these situations.
You home Depot people fuck around with that forklift way too much for no particular reason.
The people are trying to get women more woman to join the military feminists Jesus Christ
Feel for the Forklift operator. Did his best and all those people were standing around being judgmental and hoping for him to fail.
Yep and that one guy clapping especially
If they were to get closer, they could have been hurt.
@2:32 to the customer in the olive green shirt 😂😂😂 Giving the ✋ and applauding the laugh given for the free 😂😂
No wonder why you can't find a straight board to save your life
UnitedWeGame lmao your right
who ever put two bunks of 2x4s that high needs to be fired
I agree. Those bundles are way to high. If they need more room. Let me do there job and show them how to make room.
Where I'm from, they are usually stacked about 5 high
This is actually standard practice. I worked at a Lowes lumber department for six years. The actual problem here was attempting to put a "rolled' unit on the stack with another unit above it. You just don't do that. The rolled unit needs to be placed on it's own cantilever rack, or worked into the active bay. The person who was working was an idiot.
In Home Depot we stack 6 high and sheet rock 12 high
Yes
At least nobody was hurt. Thanks, for posting this.
The new Lowe’s tie down strap commercial
Shit happens, but at Lowe’s or Home Depot they act like it’s the end of the world. Come work in a real lumber yard and this shit is nothing, especially in the winter
Outdoors Minnesota In a real lumber yard the workers wouldn't be standing around watching like this either lol
Cameron Peterson nope
Outdoors Minnesota
I hate moving 2x4 8's. At least they don't take long to restack.
John Riley I typically don’t build lumber loads unless we are slow that day, I work with engineered lumber such as ijoice and lvls which are anywhere from 6 ft to 48ft. So moving 2x really isn’t that bad
Outdoors Minnesota
I'm in pressure treating. All of our bundles come from the mill so the only time anything gets stacked is if it gets dropped. Those untreated 2x4's just love to slide around lol.
You guys havin a meeting??
Manager be like, WOOD you all move back
Daniel Jimenez fuck I hate lazy fucks like them.
Uo you know its gonna be good when every lowes employee is watching 😂😂
My only question is why would they only have 7 employees standing around? I truly believe if 10 additional employees were added to stand around and stare, this would have never happened.
Reminds me of one time I was working in a multiproduct warehouse. We were working with salsa displays that day and one of of the forklifts had picked up one of them to take to the wrapper. However on his way over there, the pallet the display was on broke sending who knows how many jars of Pace Salsa to the floor. Salsa went everywhere and it took ages to clean up, and the warehouse smelled like the stuff for the next few days.
Scrapyard24c yay!!! Salsa party on aisle 6.
Be glad it wasn't a case of Repel-All or Liquid Fence. One night, a co-worker came up to me complaining that he dropped a case of Repel-All AND Liquid Fence in the seasonal department, (I was working Tool-World). I helped him to clean up the super offensive mess (I have a "cast-iron" stomach) and he was ready to vomit. The birds in the overhead were awakened by the stench and started dive-bombing him. LOL
ALWAYS THAT ONE GUY AT LOWES WITH THE SUNGLASSES ON!
Pt0wN973b0iI faded shades
Done that one time. Had to pick everything up by myself. Lesson learned
LOWE'S STOCK is doing really well. Next dip is the best time to buy for some good gains.
This turned out to be a good tip. Hope you followed your own advice.🙂
yep, classic lowes, everyone standing around watching some monumental moment while customs roam aimlessly in need of help. #lovemyacehardware.
David Fubuster I love ace too, mostly because they have dog food too. Not enough lumber or materials for bigger jobs but ace definitely has the best employees
David Fubuster "ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks" I guess it's true.
Why not take of the top layer to reduce the weight and then the bottom layer last? Am I missing something 😂
Mr Leon sometimes lifts can’t reach that high. We used to be forced to do that at this country rural place where they didn’t give a shit about our safety. Just work work work.
Mr Leon probably would've been for the best, yeah.
Right? Something isnt right though. Both pallets got up there, but they can't get them down? If they put both up with the same lift, then it should be able to get both down. Maybe they hand stacked extra 2x4s on later to make it heavier, or used a different lift last time to put them up.
As another poster wrote earlier, just about everything that could make this video a fail was done. This was the lottery fail
Mr Leon YEAH A LOWES JOB APLICCATION
Mr Leon same thing I said... Or had another forklift on the other side ready to catch the good bale of 2x4s so you can just focus on the faulty one... Idk
I wish there were that many employees that worked at our local Lowe’s
I do call things like this out. You have 6 associates or more standing around for 10min or more, and theirs nothing they can do to help while the forklift is being used.
As SOON as everything falls apart, and theirs work to be done, everyone starts to leave.
If they would all help, That mess could be cleaned up and organized in about 10 minutes smh
But I blame managers for allowing it to be like that. If I were the Manager I’d announce that everyone standing around watching will help clean up the aisle.
Those standing around is a safety Hazzard and a distraction. Lowe's should know better
Take the top 1 off first, then lift the third 1 carrying the 2nd roll. Driver got nervous cause 9 lazy ass employees staring at him.
The guy who clap his hands is every jerk that we hate In most of our jobs 😂
I always was told " Lowes is a different vibe in the mornings"
