The scandalous story took place in Primorsky Krai.
On March 16, a curious video appeared on social networks: workers unload sacks of potatoes from a truck right on the side of the road. The author of the video, a local farmer and the owner of the cargo, says behind the scenes that such measures had to be taken because the distribution network, which was supposed to accept the goods, did not do this in a few days. The car and potatoes were allegedly idle on the territory of the distribution center. Representatives of the distribution network, in turn, report that the supplier himself did not fulfill the terms of the contract - he arrived ahead of schedule, did not provide a pallet or loaders.
According to the author of the video, he took 27 tons of selected potatoes from the Chuguevsky district to the warehouse of the trading network, where the truck stood for several days, but no one took the cargo. Due to the fact that it is not economically profitable to carry the goods back, he decided to unload the potatoes where necessary.
In the trading network, the correspondent of the VL News editorial office voiced their version of events. They said that the company has a clear schedule for the delivery of a fleet of suppliers: potatoes from Chuguevka were expected on March 14, but the car arrived a day earlier, which is why the cargo could not be accepted on the first day. Unloading the truck according to the schedule, according to the representatives of the network, did not work out in the end due to the fact that the supplier did not fulfill the terms of the contract.
“There are rules in the work of the distribution center of the distribution network: the products must be on pallets, or the supplier is obliged to provide loaders. However, none of the conditions were met, although they are communicated to everyone who cooperates with our trading network. The supplier was asked to bring movers, in response he left the car near the warehouse and left. During his absence, they tried to contact him and find ways out of this situation, but he did not answer calls. After a while, the supplier returned. Picked up the transport and unloaded the potatoes on the ground near the highway. The employees of the distribution center found out about this after the fact, which was a complete surprise, since no one came to a dialogue with the warehouse, ”the press service commented on the situation.
Who is right in this case, it is difficult to say for sure. But it is interesting to note that, judging by the video, the loaders were still at the disposal of the farmer.
