No-Gos

A Foodsaver behaves unprofessional when s(he)

• shows up late or not at all to a pick-up (s)he had signed up for.

• shows up for a pick-up (s)he had not signed up for.

• doesn't take all the food the store provided for the pick-up.

• takes food the store did not provide for the pick-up.

• leaves the location of the pick-up in a messy state.

• showes up at a pick-up smelly, drunk or drugged.

• brings pets to a pick-up.

• behaves so unpleasantly noisy that clients of the store start paying attention.

• tries to greedily get the best and/or most food for her/himself.

• makes uncalled-for comments about the amount of food, that can be picked up.

• starts discussions about who gets what while still in the store.

How a pick-up is supposed to take place instead

After pointing out the worst mistakes above, we’d now like to give some constructive advice on how to establish the most pleasant atmosphere possible while dealing with employees of stores.

• We are friendly, polite and work efficiently.

• We are silent and don't take much time.

• We abide by the rules and wishes of the store.

• We wait for each other in front of the store and enter together.

• We bring our own bags and boxes to transport the food.

• We have good communication in the pick-up team to know about possible special circumstances.

• We cancel a pick-up at least 24h before it is supposed to take place, if need may be. If that does for some reason not work out, we independently find a replacement.

• We tidy up the location of the pick-up as good as we can.
