Kudos's for the 7/11 management to see the product waste. With all the food pantries and charitable organizations I guarantee that there are places in every town that would happily arrange to pick up food that is still usable and help feed the underprivileged in their respective communities. It is time Corporation stood up and made a difference.
Legal liability. They throw out food they're no longer supposed to be selling. Give that to a homeless dude and he gets sick, well he's not going to be homeless anymore after you get sued over a kind gesture. When I worked at dunkin, anyone who didn't throw out the waste at the end of the night would be fired, immediately
Just s corporate excuse. It's called assumption of the risk. While some of the food may not be good, most of it is fine and can certainly be repurposed by good pantries or shelters.
being one of those people myself, I would have to agree with you. The past few years have been rough so we been hitting the food pantry as often as possible. The sheetz near us donates their extra sandwiches, donuts, muffins,bagels and then I get a treat I wouldnt be able to buy otherwise. There's nothing wrong with the food, I really don't know why it's not able to be sold.
Working at any convenience store is not for the faint of heart. It's very hard work long hours, low pay, underappreciated. This segment didn't even begin to cover the strains of this kind of employment.
Yep, I used to work at a very busy gas station alone near a highway and I would have customers try to get me pissed off just so they can call management to get a gift card or something free, but that’s all retail jobs
I've been at 7 eleven for about 12years now and the worker was not joking about not recommending this job to any one cuz they quit an you are left with all the work. And they won't pay funeral coast when you get killed there they just hire another worker.
I worked for 7-11 for 5 years and there was no growth with the company, no raises and I worked graveyard solo and as a female there were many situations that were dangerous and my bosses never helped with improving security so glad I left
So true. The guy at my local 7/11 has been there for over 30 years and hasn't moved on. I asked him once about it and he told that he IS happy with his job but there's no room to grow. 🤷♂️
I work at 711 and one of the 1st stories I heard is how a coporate store fired a worker who took expired food to eat instead of throwing it away. They want you to throw it away instead of trying to find a charity and someone to transport the food. They would rather dump it than give it to hungry underpaid workers. 711 causes most if it's own problems then wants you to kiss their butt when they partially fix the problems they create. Most of my coworkers, in or out of school, feel like this job is a dead end and have the minimum wage minimum effort ideal. 711 wants us to crank our butts and get yelled at 24/7 for minimum wage money or less than what a Wal-Mart check out employee makes
I actually like 7 Eleven. My husband also worked there after immigrating from India. I made him look up the history of the company. I filled in when he went to school, so I know the ins and outs. I saw the same shortcomings even when they implemented the charity programs. There was nobody who wanted to come get the leftovers and the workers were to tired to drop them off anywhere. Its a respectable company.
The boss is clueless. Why is the boss promoting a career path at 7 Eleven? He doesn't want a career at 7 Eleven. He wants to earn money while going to school to get a degree, and get a better job.
it is a career in criminal justice not a bachelor's at a target for mathematics/stat/cs or ece... "a degree" in criminal justice makes you less than half to a third than what an intern makes...
Just trying to show he values him as a employee. At the end of the day he can leave for another job not end of world I’m sure he would understand if he got a job in law
I mean the employee came out of left field with the going home thing. And the ceo adapted to it fine, he said he’d help him do whatever he wants essentially
But he also said if he still chose to go back to his home country he would help him with that too. He just gave him an option because of how the employee said he felt.
You know it's funny these companies hate wasting food but you guys would rather throw it away then give away to workers who would have actually eat that stuff or take it home some of us are struggling and it really helps having something to eat while your working.
Exactly. I think this is because they don't trust the employees to not take more than what genuinely was not used. Some people will try to save the food they want instead of selling it.
No, you are all missing the true angle: Companies can use food donations as charitable tax write-offs (up to 15%!). It's the same as collecting "donations" from customers by "rounding up your order to give to a local charity." Giving food away to employees or customers doesn't benefit the corporation. Giving food to charity reduces their taxes by 15%. When you take into consideration all the other tax write-offs on top of that, this is why corporations in the U.S. rarely pay any taxes at all.
This show only proves my point of how people never look down the further up you go. A lot of the high-up don't know how the associates at the bottom do their jobs or most of the problems that happen. Every company CEO/president should shadow even the lowest positions like they they do in this show.
Yes they should shadow the lowest position. I work for major convenience store for the 3rd time over 8 years and have degree in economics . My entry level job is very difficult and average person would be blown away
While I worked at McDonald's, the boss that owned two or three stores, he would come in and greet everyone, and joke around, sometimes even bring food (rare occasions), he knew it wasn't easy work, and sometimes he would even step in to help, he wasn't the fastest, but we still got food out
"We can't let great people think the job is a dead end" meanwhile they're working a graveyard shift, cleaning up customer's shit and piss in the bathroom, dealing with crazy fucks that go out at night, no work life balance. It IS a dead end job. Nobody goes into a sales associate job wanting to be there
5 years on third shift at 7-11, it was a good job, I would have stayed and made manager if life had not gotten in the way. We can't all be lawyers and drs, someone has to hold up the ladder, or those at the top will fall.
@@danielmize6567 Night shift work disrupts the body's circadian rhythms and also causes people to be higher risk of developing health issues such as diabetes and heart disease. Not to mention the fatigue while working nights causing people to drink more caffeine to stay awake. Relationships also suffer with night shift work . Working night shift limits your social life unless you have other friends who prefer to be up at the night hours, which for the most part are slim. There's not a good tradeoff in wages for the sacrifice you have to make by working 11 at night to 8/9am
@aaaaaaa2309 there is scientific proof saying that night shift workers have higher chance of diabetes depression and obesity. It disrupts the circadian system and long term it's not beneficial for mental health
Good to see a fellow 7 11 graveyard worker getting appreciated! That ish is harsh work cdc! McLane! All the crazy customers! Then the am customers heading to work, cleaning the store, stocking. Every night my night is full from 11pm to 7am and most days don't leave till 730 8am.
I've worked at 711's twice in my life(the last one recently). Both threw away horrendous amounts of food every night. Even more if they have another food business inside the store(sandwich shop or something similar). Very lazy employees that dont do the majority of their job demoralize the workers that do. No write ups for bad behavior, no process of elimination. Your just a body. That's it. You can be a terrible employee and keep your job for literally years. Some of the worst co workers i've ever had were at 711. Nothing has changed there. No accountability. The only way to get fired on the spot is to be drunk at work, get caught stealing lotto/cigarettes/money, or get into a fist fight with a customer. I could tell horror stories of that place.
@@colinargotis I dont have any. Nothing was very horrific at my time at 711. Other than the disorganization, lack of discipline for anything, and massive waste of food plus lots of health violations all the time. Pools of blood on the floor under the meat storage area in the cooler. Cockroaches and rats.
Want to make a store level employee feel valued? Start giving them stakes in the complany, profit sharing, etc. Let them know they can take Home a nice slice of dough if their store is performing well. Instead of assuming performing well should be the norm for minimum wage
@@dailyclipmafia5041 the employees generate value for the company. You don’t think people should be entitled to the fruits of their labor? Let me guess, you’re one of the people who complain about paying taxes for welfare that supplements peoples’ wages when their employers don’t pay enough.
@@paulc8147 as an employee you literally agree to sell your time for labour, why would you expect more than that? If you sign a contract that involves revenue share because you are that good than great for you. If you don't like that a job doesn't give rev share than just quit? Or start your own business and see what that's like
@@memesandmusic yea bcuz it's cheap to start a business, shut up and realize these companies can give u more for the time and effort u put in to make their companies run.. it's not about finding another job, 90% of jobs treat u and pay u like a nobody..
There are bosses who are more than just bosses and I’m not saying this because of Undercover Boss. I worked with a woman who was frustrated because an assistant manager was not working at the store I was but channeled her frustration by training me to become one so that no other manager has to deal with the frustration in question.
I worked at the store in Spring Texas, I was wrongfully terminated because I went down for inhaling gas and carbon monoxide poisoning the second time and fired then wrote up after the 3rd time...The area manager kept me another employee off our job for a month and we was harassed and retailed against and when we complained we were was called liers. We have been trying to contact this man and was blocked for months
Every single 7-Eleven I've been to all over this country throws out the food daily, they always have. It is sad to see all the food go to waste. Hopefully they can implement something that will work for that. And it it'll help cut costs.
What makes me angry is there are thousands of men and women out there who are killing themselves for their company. They get mistreated, abused, and tossed out over the most stupid things while the lazy losers who cause problems for everyone never get spoken to and never told to leave and don't come back.
Wish people would stop throwing food away..when I saw this at another gas station I got pissed off..there's a lot of people living in the streets that they could give the food to..
Regardless of the script, this is a good method for a company to view working conditions because they can sometimes get an employee to say something different to a third party like a camera crew who seems sympathetic than the boss who comes in every couple months or weeks.also the boss just assumes he wants to go back to his country lol
I bet the reason they aren’t donating the food is because one homeless person sued claiming their free food got themselves sick; and the company decided to pull the plug so that never happened again.
The Only relevant question is, how did they explain the cameras?? It's the key to the whole thing. Can someone explain how undercover boss explains the cameras?
does this dude really think front line workers are out here just drowning in opportunity? i've never seen a blue collar job where you get promoted into a white collar position. at best, if you're a good worker, someone will make it just barely worth giving your limited time on earth to a company that will profit from "surplus labor". it's not even this specific executive's fault, that's just how the world works.
Employee: I feel like there's no opportunity for advancement at 7/11. 7/11 Boss: I tell you what if you stay Ill personally be you're mentor and help you succeed. Employee: But what about advancing to higher positions for better pay? 7/11 Boss: Or we can help you get back to your country 😅 Maybe its just me but it didnt really sound like the Boss wasn't discussing better pay or benefits lol
The employee looked very professional at the end interview. Surely he can be a district manager in his home country of Pakistan. 7/11 is a world wide company,with stores located at the end of the Earth. Somebody like that employee deserves better than what the boss was offering.
You don't understand why you have to throw away donuts? That's no surprise. Let me introduce you to my friends the Health Department and the Department of Agriculture. They say you throw it away or they will shut you down. Apparently food safety is not a big topic in the boardroom.
Did a RU-vid channel with scripted videos rlly convince y’all that corporate executives and CEOs actually give a fuck about the employees at the bottom 💀
It depends on where you live. I live in MS and did landscaping for $10/hr. I had a baby on the way and jumped into it but gas stations here were paying $7.25. Landscaping in MS is terrible, i can't imagine 7/11 being worse than 115 degree heat, i would've jumped on $11/hr
@@Preobrazhensky80 I feel like we're talking past each other. $11/hr where I live in 2014 would've been a no brainer compared to what I had to do to make $10/hr. I'm not saying it's amazing or anything but it's not the worst thing in the world
The donuts being thrown away are 7/11 policy…. They make more money writing it off as a loss than donating it…. This is why most business don’t donate their food.
My 2nd week at 7Eleven I've already cursed out a customer and "quit my job." The clunkiest POS software I've ever used, relentless foot traffic, and a labor budget tighter than a virgin.
I did the same thing, only during a 6 -11 am workshift.... Met the president, and he could give a fuck less... Oh well, now I am pretty well off and all it took was for me to work and go to school. Point is this can be anyone, and us American kids, this should be you... Stop fucking off and get a job.
Look, I agree with them about throwing out food, but there is no way to know if any of the food items have been touched by a person who have been to the washroom without washing their hands, trust me, there are grown people like that. It just need one person doing that who touch a area and you put your hands there and BOOM you're a walking time bomb for someone with health issues.
Man I work at Circle K, and what 2 - 3 people do oin a 3rd shift. I do by myself. Wonder what its like to have another person helping me out. And they actually get to sit down and eat a lunch? I work 8 hours and don't get breaks or a lunch, Must be nice
7 eleven in America is boring. It's nothing like 7 eleven in Japan cuz the food is good 😋, the employees are nice and the best part is Japan doesn't have guns so you can go even at night and feel safe walking to a convenient store at night. Here in America is a whole different story it's like everyone needs to bring a gun to defend themselves from the unexpected dangers you may encounter daytime or nighttime.
This is complete and total bullshit. If you're working a dead end job like this or walmart or whatever, THERE IS NO MOVING UP. If you're an outstanding employee, they will keep you right the fuck where you are because they can keep paying your dirt cheap pay for your outstanding work.
Throwing away stuff: yes it seems kinda shitty when they can be given out but here is why they throw them out. Giving out food is safe because if something is rotten or whatever, a person can sue for loads of $ if they get sick or worse. So that's why companies throw out food rather than donate. They don't want the legal issues.
CEOs have to be realistic If they had not met the people under the circumstances of such shows they would not give them the opportunity Say they meet the person just commonly.
Can someone ask this dingleberry why the 7 Eleven stores in Japan, Korea ... even China! are like gourmet restaurants compared to the slop they push on their US customers
Of course he doesn't have an opportunity for advancement its a 7/11, he hit it right on the head with dead end job. This Exec needs a huge wake up call if he thinks people are getting jobs at 7/11 for long term employment. Bro 7/11 exists soley to hire Indians, Pakistanis, and other immigrant foreigners.
Thats all fine and good to not want to throw away food but I can say for certain that the homeless do not want muffin stumps. They want the whole muffin
To think, after working all night, then school during the day, he will now be expected to pay higher taxes to write off debt for a student from a household with income and lifestyle never attainable to him. Sorry, just seems unfair.
