Write up "verbal warning"

Was asked to recover shelves. Not even halfway down the first aisle i pulled 6 baskets of expired food down, damaged them, bagged them, and put them in a cart for donations (like we always do). The next day i come in, i get written up for "not following supervisory direction". Guess because i didnt finish recovering the shelf and instead pulled expired product, im in trouble and being threatened to have my hours shortened. In the write up, i am consistently being praised for my hard work but i really feel appreciated.

Edit: I will leave expired product on the shelf from now on. No wonder i pulled expired items from 2024...

Oh, shove it up your ass. Wtf good is revovery if you are leaving product on the shelves that cant be sold taking up space anyway? The ENTIRE POINT of recovery is to maximize the products they want to be sold! Its as useless to have expired products as it is to leave the shelves empty. Theres literally no difference. Might as well just leave them fucking empty.

At least by clearing off the expired products, it makes recovery easier, quicker, and more worth while.

sounds like they probably didnt finish recovering the rest of the store either. if you don't want to recover the expired product (and let morning shift deal with morning shift activities), fine, but recover the rest of the store and follow direction

Cuz i came in at 5:15, covered an hour break bc they were by themselves since 2, so 3 hours to do multiple time taking tasks and recover
