Has anyone else's lead left the truck on empty? I was speechless when it finally happened to me. I'm not even mad though because that truck aint getting filed up past what I need 😂
is it true that everyone likes one more than the other? Someone also told me you like whatever you get trained on first. So can second share why they like large or small format the best??
I’m in training and my trainer just kind of walks in to each place and knows exactly how to check in each customer and each one is so different. No clue how I’m supposed to walk in (front or back), sides doors, weird hallways like wtf??? check in on the phone, the dex thing, if I’m supposed to open the boxes and show them each thing, are they writing a check?!? So If I’m covering a route how the hell am I supposed to do that process without knowing how to with that specific customer?!? I’m so confused. (Just started training last week)
5 boxes of cookies straps forced out. 4 strips in each box. 3 fucking hooks amongst all 20 strips. Ridiculous.
How are eaches totes loaded? Ours come in out of order, out of sequence, damaged,missing product, wrong product. It’s embarrassing to get them checked in and it’s time consuming.
I don’t work for frito or Pepsi or whatever. I was reading the times and saw Pepsi’s earning reports and found myself down this rabbit hole. I’m just fascinated by how this all works- so the company BUYS shelves in a store, and then they basically force you to stock certain things instead of the shit that actually sells? That part makes no sense. Like I keep seeing the NKD Doritos - after all this “extreme” marketing, the pivot to being health conscious (lol) is so stupid. I’m enjoying reading all your stories and stuff but I’m just really curious about how it all works
My husband is a RSR for Frito-Lay. He works big stores, so he does not drive a truck - he has deliveries and merchandisers on his route. That being said, the physical requirements do says an RSR has to be able to lift 40 lbs "with or without accommodations, " which is vague.
He tore his rotator cuff (not work related). He gets 20 weeks from our state of partial pay and job protection, but I'm wondering if he'll be able to go back to work. I'm not sure he could meet the requirements of the job post-surgery, unless no two handed lifting for 3 months (ie, ordering but not merchandising or merchandising with 1 arm) is considered a "reasonable accomodation." or what is an example of a reasonable accommodation? Is there a scenario where he would be able to return to work before months of PT? He'd lose not only pay, but seniority and his route.
Can he make an argument for his job back during months of PT (which extends beyond 20 weeks), or is Frito-Lay going to kick him to the curb?
We've already asked the union and they just referred him to HR. Trying to arm ourselves with knowledge (no pun intended) before we get to that point.
For those interested in the full physical requirements for RSRs, it is below. Thanks in advance.
Frito-Lay Route Sales Representative (RSR) positions require physical stamina for active, on-the-foot delivery and merchandising work, as well as passing a Department of Transportation (DOT) physical.

Since the last SalesHub+ update does Sales+ open up for you guys seemingly randomly but about every 3rd time you even just look at anything in SaleHub+? It now switches apps when I'm scrolling through while checking in, scanning backstock, reviewing orders and more. Is there anything I can do?
Thank you to the quality control G who let this one slide through the belt.. I rarely get chips these days due to how flavor dust has drastically decreased over the years. Got Flaming Hot Ruffles today for old time's sake and the whole bag was crushed to heck (typical), but this time it was thanks to this huge, bright red flavor nugget. A welcomed early lump in my stocking. 🤌 The green chips were in there too.
Describe the worst co lead experience ever? What was the worst order they ever did? Were they so bad you had nightmares about having to work after them? 😂
Why am i getting coached for having a low PO and then when i do over 90 PO i am getting coached for having to much backstock..
Is there a way for me to see how many sick days I have use in the last 12 months and how many I have left? Also what's the difference after using 5 I need to start bringing notes from 6 to 10?
Anyone else see the robot droid that Fred Meyers has to scan empty holes in the aisle? Wtf
My home is 25 miles from my regular Frito-Lay warehouse in El Paso. Frito-Lay wants to deduct those 25 miles when I am sent to a warehouse in New Mexico, treating them as my normal commute to work.
My question is: if I am sent to a different work location in New Mexico for a work assignment, can Frito-Lay also deduct those same 25 miles? Or should those miles be considered business mileage because I am traveling to a different work location for a work assignment?
How do we as Frito RSA or RSRs use our sick days. I know we get 10 sick days a year. I been working for Frito for 3 months now and I know I will most likely get sick in winter. What do I need to do to call in for a sick day. Is there an app or number I can call.
