A&P Supermarket Training Video--Think to Prevent Shrink (1992) 

😂😂😂 That is what we do in the twenty-first century! Forget flying vehicles!😄

🤣

Bro, I have worked for the same grocery store for nine years and I do the same thing.

Its a lot work at food store. Myself i am bagger at my food store.

I did that for 10 years first job out of highschool

Now let's talk SHRINKAGE, shall we? 😆

Me too! Isn't it strange? Part of the human condition, no doubt. Do you also adore infomercials? I do, especially for things that make food.

I had to watch this in 2014, it was.

i just wanna go home and play Pogs with my friends.,..

They got paid for watching it, you didn't.

Cheesegod 😆 I hope his getaway car was an IROC Z

or a pack/carton of unfiltered camels in your inner jacket homemade pocket.

@@mattkennedy3474 With T-tops!

If that were shown today, Trumpturds would cry reverse-racism, because it showed a white person stealing.

curious

youre comment is the reason i love the internet

Aren't you Troy McClure from "Buck Henderson: Union Buster" and "Gladys, the groovy mule"?

@@Menaceblue3 I'm also the Troy McClure from "Alice's Adventures Through The Windshield Glass."

You made me gut chuckle 🤭

That seems fair.

no better way to spend a saturday

will you marry me ? We could have some more new babies

Oh my freaking God, it IS Saturday night! * cries *

MWorsa ....I know...this shit is the best

life is good isnt it

Aaron Stigall lmfao right

It's what the astronauts drank. 😂

Take some Tang and go! 😂😂

...they were racking it up!

Sweet sweet Tang. How empires rose and crumbled

Yeah ajaja

I saw that too! How do you know how long it's been out? and if it's warm, ew. that needs to just be damaged out and tossed.

Poor snack cakes! Contaminated!

Correct

Check the meat temperature. I think it has to be below 8°C but I can't be sure.

Yes and they threw out the dog food because it was left in the cart

Thank You, Mr. Costanza. 😒

James B I was in the pool lol

@@luisreyes1963 good one you deserve more likes for that

Only then will you get your hands on that sweet sweet Tang from the thumbnail

I WAS IN THA POOL JERRY

that fueled my smoking habit of non filtered camels at age 14 in 1969. no age requirement of 18 then. 49 yrs later at age 63, still smoking those same camels. i quit quitting smoking a long time ago. the damage is done so what does it matter at my age now ?

@@roadmaster720 your lungs are still getting blacker and blacker and less pockets becoming just one cavety. Instead of the sponge. My grandad died because of this....

Don't forget cigarette vending machines.

And you could pump gas before paying. Fill N Flee lol

@@roadmaster720 I had a friend who smoked Pall Mall unfiltered cigarettes. He passed away about a year ago in his 70s. Got cancer.

Pizzarrias!

I pity you

That's one way to think about it. The other is that they haven't innovated or improved at all.

@TheRenaissanceman65 except you know, people who plan to be criminals will be anyways.

@TheRenaissanceman65 lel criminals will always carry guns. I dare you to rob a store where everyone has an ak-47

TheRenaissanceman65 See, you would think that would help, but last time I checked, the problem (in America) is most crimes with guns were gained illegally. It would just cause guns to be a more desired item for certain criminals, which then cause certain people to freak out more because now they have nothing to protect themselves with. To put it short, it would probably be the 20’s bootleg era but... worse. Also, who’s gonna take away the guns? Like, both legally owned and illegally owned. Do you know just how many people would refuse or find ways to get away with it? People in America already don’t trust the government, them knocking on doors and forcefully banning guns *will* go poorly. Especially as it stands. Courts have ruled that police aren’t legally required to help people. If you call 911 and they say “You’re on your own,” you’re on your own and there is no legal repercussion. And Imma be honest, as someone who has had a gun pointed at them twice, once by a SWAT member and once by a friend’s cousin who thought I was a burglar, I’d rather have a gun pointed at me by the friend’s cousin. I’m not really afraid of people owning guns. I’m more afraid of people misusing their training, criminals, or mentally ill people who slipped through the system due to aforementioned people owning guns. Also hunting is it’s whole own argument. (Proper) Hunting is the most sustainable form of getting meat, if not sometimes completely necessary. And if someone on that fringe goes on to kill someone else... Well, it’s impossible to get rid of gun violence 100% already. You have to pick your battles and decide if people staying safe from wild animals is better than outlier killers.

What the video said is still accurate. If you expect a robbery and a shooting, you're not expecting dropped pickles. No one expects the dropped pickles.

Condemnedxbox Ironically what you said seems to lead more to the idea that the gun problem is more of a problem of the system rather than the guns themselves. I agree that the police system is a total mess and they often overuse guns. I think that’s quite obvious. I also wouldn’t be surprised if criminals using guns is at least in part a reaction to cops. But I don’t think fixing the criminal system will fully fix the criminal gun problem. They will definitely hold to their guns for the same power trip reasons some cops hold guns. Them feeling “safe” from cops won’t do anything. On the topic of “legalizing guns to begin with,” that’s.... Okay, for starters, the infamous “Right to Bear Arms” has existed from the VERY beginning, and back then made a whole hell of a lot of sense. One was the idea that if the new government messed up and became corrupted, they would be able to fight back. Which, back then, was totally viable to them since they /literally/ did that. The second thing (and the oldest reason that still holds up to today) Is that they lived in a vast fairly empty space with wild animals that would not hesitate to kill or maim them. (Of corse in cities and highly populated states this doesn’t really apply, but in many states, this is honestly very important. Not to touch or even mention what I said earlier about ethically sourced meat.) I also can’t really say anything about “shoot first, ask questions later” because I live in a state where getting a gun is harder, so the people I know who own guns amounts to about one hand. And none of them would be so lenient as to shoot random people who they don’t know just because they showed up. But again, that’s just where I’m from. Speaking of that, in my state having a gun pointed at you is not considered in any shape or form normal. (Unless you’ve been involved with heavy criminal activity I guess) The only reason it happened to me was because there was a fake bomb threat to my school (which is definitely not normal for most schools, but the students who went to mine were a little screwy. Hey, at least it wasn’t a gun threat, right? [actually thinking about it, it might have been a gun threat? Or a mistaken shooting report? My school was really screwy and people sending in fake threats/claims that they knew someone was planning on doing something happened like three times; all so the students could get out of school. Take that as you will I guess.]) You could argue if it was wrong or right to send in a SWAT team, but I’d still at argue it’s less “they have guns, oh no!” And more “they have guns and while they are trained to know how to use them, they haven’t been trained how to not use them as well, oh --.” Also, if a bomb threat at a school is happening, what are you gonna plan to come in with? Throwing knives? My point is, while unfortunate, in that particular situation, it made sense and definitely isn’t normal. I’ve said a lot about this so I won’t blab on about the second time. Moral of the story is America was and still is a storm of situations and happenstance. You don’t know what solution that seems logical now will have major illogical and unintended consequences. And really, that goes for *ALL* countries too. The best anyone can do is play damage control, and trying to get guns off the streets and push the prison system to be one more aimed for rehabilitation than putting all the poor drug addicts trapped in a cage would do more to help than just flat out banning guns would ever do. Because in the end, it’s not the guns that are the problem, it’s the people behind them. (I haven’t slept so I hope this all makes sense and I didn’t repeat anything too much)

Gimme that

Allllright

@@LyhneInc it's my favorite

How you think we ended up here??

@Darren Gordon-Hill youtube algorithm Is a dangerous thing. lol

The music, maybe.

I was thinking 'did this guy go on to be a tv anchor?' - he has the right look and voice.

I’ve seen him in another supermarket training video

He's no Troy McClure, but he's okay.

I found him to be both threatening and annoying AF.

Obviously he failed at his job because A&P went out business.

Yeah there is Nothing like dressing like a million bucks to earn Minimum wage.

@@alwillk Dress like a million bucks? That’s funny! If only. I always made above minimum wage when I worked at grocery stores back in the 50s. Btw If you’re doing a good job, you ask for a raise. If you don’t get it. You start looking for another job. The clothes (uniform) I wore was cheap. The clip on bow tie and apron were provided by the store. If you’re making minimum wage, it’s a starting wage for your in experience. I live in LA. The minimum wage has been replaced and is now called ‘the living wage’ lol. It’s currently $17.50 an hour. Most waitresses make $20.00 an hour, plus tips. Many dress like crap and would probably prefer a job provided uniform. But hey I know most people would feel discriminated against or oppressed today if an employer demanded they did. Playing victim is an Olympic sport now. 😂

And humping them sacks of rutabagas.

Joe Oliveira Run Steve Run !The store wants the steak back.

Same LOL.

Get rid of your dog.

​@Donnell0303High quality food for a low quality mutant.

"Meat Manager" - there's something to put on a resume

What even is that?! The person to say hello at the door?!! Jealous, but also not cause it seems boring AF and stocking while store open or closed (like usual for stocking shifts) or doing the register.

+Dutchik It is a misnomer. Basically I worked the complaints desk. It is the person who takes the brunt of abuse from customers.

@@bethanybergeson4192 ahaha. Yeah with us thats literally everyone in the store. And every cashier needs to be able to do service desk, since it is just a register. I still can't, but my function has recently changed. So i will. Just on the whiteboard it then just says service desk and your name. And you'll get called everytime when there is someone. Else you just stand in the store stocking, like all other cashiers except the main register.

Bethany Bergeson I never realized it either, but the “Courtesy Desk” term is used in the Northeast and New England areas. We always called it the “Courtesy Counter” in my store too. I still refer to it as “Courtesy” when I am in any store, and many people have no idea what I am talking about.

Did anyone try and steal your Tang?

Paul Feagans indeed, that’s a crazy price.

These days, you can get a new movie on DVD or Blu-Ray for....More than that!

that’s NJ/NY for ya

it was probably real meat and no plastic steak

RE-L Mayer facts before the world went to shit in every way lol

DaThings made a YTP out of this

produce is one of the most perishable items. It has to be sold fast because of how short its shelf-life is.

I wish we could still do this but everything is barcoded now. It's still possible to pay the cheap banana price for all your produce needs at self checkout. Just make sure to cut the sound off when ringing up your kiwis so the woman doesn't say 'put your BANANAS in the bag'.

It's not too late to report it to her manager! (He's at the cemetery, row 9 plot #6.)

You too?

then you get a manager to come up and ring them out

Whoops sorry, that manager now considers you a friend

​@@zachreese6540 Managers have no friends.

I live in a town of about 2,500 people. If that was the policy at the local grocery, nobody would ever be checked out again.

OCB ?

That’s what they want people to think

Yeah I find that hard to believe too

Well, A&P doesn't exist anymore so uh yeah

@@DerangedHermit that figures lol

That’s the first thing i thought too. If this is true how the hell they stay in business for more than a year.

ditto .... I realize how things were, I was 22 sounds crazy, but I miss those times... I was naive

This is less than honest.

Have you tried the lasagna? It's my favorite.

homefrontforge - Why did they run him out of business?

That’s a horrible thing to happen to any family business but I would blame his previous customers more than A&P.

roxcyn because capitalism.

What job position did they offer him?

@@RADIUMGLASS Probably knob polisher. That's what those big, insensitive corporations do.

I start with that front line cash register video then work my way up to these other recommended videos.

Well 1992 was only acouple years after the 80s so not much has changed between that time..

That is a good point-you can see in the part where they show the checkout lanes that there are no credit/debit kiosks for people to pay using credit or debit. It was either cash or check in 92. The credit/debit cards came like 2-3 years later.

ElectabuzzKing - Depends on the company you work for.

I would have to agree I've been working at Stop and Shop for 4 years and for a whole year I've been trying to get a slightly better position from getting carts to frozen foods(just to get out of the heat and back breaking work no pay increase). The wages are 30 cents higher than minimum wage but $10.90 really isn't enough especially in my state. The only good thing about S&S is they have pretty generous vacation time. And I've had managers bully me by saying I took an hour break instead of a 15 minute break which is complete bullshit I invite them the look at the security cameras!

@@alexsaab8089 atleast you get breaks,my store managers only "recommend" 30 min lunch.even if the law says two 15 min breaks and 30 min to hour lunch. Also trust me,you don't want to be dairy manager,I seen no more then 4 employees quit that position in less then 2 to 3 weeks. Frozen is a pain if there's only two guys on schedule

When I was 17 I worked at Kroger for 6 months. I quit the same month I graduated. I was so shocked to see how many people had been working there longer than I’d been alive ...and still a checker. It’s as if they were stuck and just didn’t think there was anything else out there for them. Very depressing.

@@cherrelle9964 yup someone just retired at my store. After working there for 42 years!

Lol me too... I've been into training videos lately, and i can't help but watch the grocery store ones too even tho I work at one.

Such dedication.

Robert Moore You’re learning some valuable lessons here.

like how?

Someone probably made off with some Tang

That's because they're watching you like a hawk from cameras placed every three feet throughout the store. We used to steal all the time and managers knew it but couldn't prove it.

@@kyriljordanov2086 thief

Pathetic. Smh

This is my favorite comment. Thank you.

Because marijuana is legal now

I'm asking myself that now and then I remember that it's 2020 and what else is there to do 😂

It's closer to 2-3% for the giants.

The money is in the volume.

As stated below, it’s all in the volume, good stores can do very very very well.

Is this true?? Even in 2020? That little margin

its not true.

You have only have 30 minutes before needing to return it to refrigeration

That chicken has a family too.

It was the 90s. Salmonella didn't exist back then.
