Metal detectors should be after packaging not before slicing and the baggers. Nice plant tho.

@sikester3812 how do you do that with a metal wire tie at the end of the loaf? Nice try “tho”

We have a flowers factory in the town that I live in and when they’re baking donuts, the entire town smells delicious. 😊

Damn Flowers Bakery San Antonio TX is so out of date compared to this. We have tons more employees tho cuz everything still old fashioned

[@williamjames6495]

U should see the Baton Rouge location. We’re shutting down.

I worked in the baking industry for 30 years. Have seen a lot in terms of changes in that time. High speed = high damage when equipment failure occurs. Flowers is notorious for out-sourcing work, sanitation, maintenance etc. Out sourcing wrapping and shipping is just foolish and I think this is a union busting tactic they use. Dont let the shiny "modern" equipment fool you as they present their own set of issues, like the spiral roll proofer. Those things wear out the main conveyor belt and rails due to the outward pressure on the belt and rails on which it rides, the wear pattern causes the rails to become razor sharp in short order and the entire drive system needs to be replaced about every year, and where does all that aluminum shavings and dust end up?

All this is nice but LITTLE to NO JOBS. I am not for supporting companies who want to do business in our communities with full automation, and providing little to no jobs because of it. Shame on our local politicians for allowing this practice.

[@rogeto9351]

I agree! I grew up in the bread business and my dad worked his whole life at Rainbo Bakery. Cannot believe the jobs they have done away with.

[@jcjs3013]

First day in the future? Welcome.

[@MrMaul80]

Agree but if it saves the company money then they will do it just like everyone else.
