Sam’s Club Instructs Truck Driver to Discard New ProductHome > Viral News > TrendingSource: TikTok Sam s Club Tells Truck Driver to Throw Away Brand-New Products Just Because They Were LateBy Mustafa GatollariOct. 12 2022, Published 11:47 a.m. ET A truck driver by the name of Zeek who posted on TikTok under the handle @qrtrucking shared a now-deleted video calling out a Sam's Club store for refusing to accept a delivery that was just 30 minutes late. While the business may've very well been within its rights to do so depending on their agreement with the shipping company, it's their "wasteful" response that garnered so many responses from viewers.Article continues below advertisement "Let me show you guys something real quick," Zeek says in the video. "You guys see all this product right here? Brand new. Nothing is wrong with it. Everything is still intact. So, I came to deliver to the Sam's Club, I'm not gonna disclose the location where I'm at, but I came, I was 30 minutes late. And they rejected my load." According to Zip Line Logistics, one of the top reasons businesses reject freight is late delivery. However, it does seem kind of ridiculous that a store wouldn't accept this much product over an extra 30 minutes of wait time.Article continues below advertisementSource: @qrtrucking "They said they were not gonna unload me and they refused to do anything about it," the TikTok user continued. "They just told me, call your dispatcher and figure it out. So, 3 hours later and now we came down to a solution. The receiver told me I could book an appointment until Tuesday; right now it's Sunday. And the shipper told me if I wasn't willing to reschedule, to just throw everything away and just do whatever I want after that."Article continues below advertisementSource: TikTok @qrtrucking The Sam's Club location instructed Zeek to simply dispose of everything that was in his truck. "They're willing to let me throw all that product away instead of paying me to take it back to the company."Article continues below advertisementSource: TikTok @qrtrucking Zeek's post highlights the issue with a lot of business models. In terms of straight monetary value, businesses could actually end up receiving more money for not accepting a late shipment depending on the agreement with the shipping company and their insurance coverage for late deliveries.Article continues below advertisementSource: TikTok @qrtrucking Money-wise, it could make more sense for the company to simply allow the products to be discarded instead of just accepting the shipment. Never mind the fact that many businesses are still suffering from supply chain shortages affecting product quantities across a variety of different industries in the United States.Article continues below advertisementSource: TikTok @qrtrucking Many commenters were shocked that the business would tell Zeek to throw the product away and wouldn't reschedule, especially because it appeared that the items were either non-perishables or had long shelf lives.Article continues below advertisementSource: TikTok @qrtrucking Others wondered why the company didn't suggest he donate the products to Florida hurricane victims, shelters, food banks, or any other people in need. Some just wanted to know if Zeek was getting paid for his work regardless of what the company wanted him to do with the product.Article continues below advertisementSource: TikTok @qrtrucking "In this economy they’re picking and choosing??? Ah well naw." "Do you still get paid?" "Please donate it to Florida if you can. If not a shelter in your area."Article continues below advertisementSource: TikTok @qrtrucking Zeek mentioned in the comments section of the video that the items weren't thrown away and that they were ultimately donated to a church.AdvertisementMore from Distractify TikToker Shares How Helpless the Men She Works With Become Over a Simple Taco Order TikToker Says EMS Charged Her $400 for a Test They Said Was Free Little Caesars Worker Crushes Customer’s Pizza, Curses Him Out in Viral TikTok Latest Trending News and UpdatesAdvertisementABOUT DistractifyAbout UsPrivacy PolicyTerms of UseDMCASitemapCONNECT with DistractifyLink to Facebook Link to TwitterLink to InstagramContact us by Email Copyright 2022 Distractify.
