We all know the smell of produce cases especially with the kess system but deer god can you imagine the smell. I was washing out coffins one time and found a can of iga juice that store hadn’t been an iga in at least 15yrs:eek2::eek2:

I live in Omaha nebraska. Right next to council bluffs.
This keeps rolling thru my head.

I feel so bad for the guy.

When I worked for a supermarket market chain back in the 80's, the company bought a couple of independent stores. One only a year or so old and the other was maybe 20 years old. When surveying the mechanicals for a remodel at the the older one, I noted the store had a noticeable odor upon entering at the front.,,something that reminded me of a freshly mopped floor using Pine-Sol. When I got to the mezzanine above the meat room in the back where the main air handler was, I found an open access panel in the return air plenum. Inside, there were five or six air freshener sticks with lots of used ones scattered on the floor.

It turned out, later during the remodel work, the odor was indeed coming from the meat prep room and meat cooler area. There was a long-broken floor drain in the prep room which upon opening up led to what was a virtual cesspool of swirling maggots and rotted meat mixed in the sewage. In was as close as I (and others) ever came to puking on the spot. The cesspool had undermined the ground under the adjacent meat cooler too.

Is it lunch yet ?

Just when you thought you’ve seen/heard everything. Both the original post and icemeister’s story are crazy

I have had that eerie feeling of being on a rooftop and falling ill, how long would it take for someone to go and check on you? there are many ways to go but the feeling must suck especially if there are people around that just cant hear you scream for help.

 

[pctech]

this has to be foul play i bet somone was paid to make him disapear or he crossed someone and they found him.
I hope for his sake he died instantly and did not suffer

Something about this doesn't add up. How did someone not see or smell something?

especially if there are people around that just cant hear you scream for help.

or just tune you out. :eek2:

In a supermarket, especially the older ones where the compressor room is often nothing more than an open cage in the back room, it is usually quite noisy. It also typical for the store's walk-in coolers and freezers to be adjacent or at least vey closeby.

In this story, the top of the coolers being used as a "secret spot to take a break" is something I would see evidence of in just about any store. Cigarette butts, beer/soda cans and Reddi-Whip cans were standard fare.

It's also commonplace to have a roof support column between two coolers, leaving a gap big enough foe a person to squeeze (or fall) into. Now consider that if you have say a meat cooler at 28°F on one side and a frozen food boox on the other at 0°F, that space is going to be cold and often below freezing.

I'll bet the top of the coolers was the first place they would look, yet I doubt they would have checked the dark spaces between them.

Strangest thing I found was a deer head. I installed a condensing unit in a restaurant walk in freezer, but didn't have a defrost clock. I returned the following day with a defrost clock and open up the door to see a deer head with a large rack laying on the floor of the box.

One time I shimmied down behind a 3 glass door RIR. I made my connections and I tried to shimmy back up and out. I was stuck and pissed at myself for being stuck. It was around midnight and nobody was due in until 7-8 AM. So my aggravation took over and I pushed the RI to tip it over( I didn't care about about any damage to the box). The doors were opened slightly during the renovation and all 3 doors swung open and held the RI from falling all the way to the floor So here was this 3 door RIR held in place on a 45* angle and me scrambling over and out from behind this RI like a wet cat out of a pool. When other "trades" showed up in the morning, several of us tilted the RI back into place. There was no damage to the 3 doors. Its a LOL now, but was not back then.
