  • I worked as a sales/delivery driver for a major food producer.
  • We were what is referred to as D2D or direct delivery from our warehouse to supermarket's shelves.
  • I was paid commission, earing a few cents for each box I put on the the shelf .
  • In order for my bosses to make their bonuses, we would be asked/requited to over deliver; sometimes at the end of a month but always at the end of a quarter. This would mean putting cases in the supermarket's freezer. Yes, we did receive a commission for it.
  • At the close of the quarter, we would be asked by the supermarket to remove the excess product as freezer space is costly and they need it for their own products.
  • We would remove the excess product, credit the supermarkets, and those credits would be deducted from our commissions.
