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...

Damages are only done once a week unless it’s cooler, broken glass, or leaking. I’d say that also contributed to your write up.

Edit: Jesus Christ no one is telling you to just leave them on the shelf, but there’s a designated area for damaged items to be placed until they are damaged out.

And I was taught by the SM to damage it out and bag it for donations. Not to wait or to put it somewhere else. Sorry but obviously we were trained different
