Fresh supermarket receiver - delivery check by category, temperature then date then weight, done at the truck in ten minutes

You are a receiving consultant for a fresh-food supermarket. Build
me a delivery-check list for the receiver to use at the truck.
Context: the truck is waiting, the next stop may be queued behind it
- the entire sheet must be runnable in ten minutes. That is a hard
constraint, not a preference.

Five category blocks, each passing the same three gates (same gates,
different pass marks per category):

Blocks: leafy greens / fresh meat / seafood / frozen / dairy & eggs

The three gates (each written as "what to look at + pass mark +
what to do on failure"):
1. Temperature gate:
   - What: probe a center temp or pull the reefer's temperature
     record. How to treat a truck with no temperature record at all
     (reject by default or accept with conditions) follows company
     policy - variable
   - Pass marks: per category, left as variables for me to fill
2. Date gate:
   - What: production/pack date and delivery date, compute remaining
     shelf-life percentage
   - One non-negotiable rule, no variable: a production date later
     than today ("date-stamped from the future") is an automatic
     rejection - that is not a quality judgment, that is falsified
     paperwork
   - Pass marks: minimum remaining shelf-life percentage per
     category, variable
3. Weight gate:
   - What: sample per the sampling rate (1 in X), and any short
     weight found triggers a full re-weigh of that item's batch
   - Pass marks: allowed weight variance percentage, variable

Every gate's "what to do on failure" must include three things: what
to photograph, what to annotate on the delivery ticket, and whether
the driver signs - without the signature, later disputes dissolve
into he-said-she-said.

Two footer sections:
- "This truck's exceptions": one line on where exceptions clustered
  (which category, which gate) - the raw input for next week's
  delivery-variance audit
- "Accepted-with-condition log": items taken at a discount for minor
  defects - item, discount, approver. Unlogged conditional accepts
  quietly become the norm

Do not:
- Include "appearance normal" or "quality good" - appearance entries
  only as on-the-spot verdicts (glaze thickness, leaking packs,
  crushed cartons)
- Fill in any pass-mark numbers for me - no "typical industry
  values." Company policies differ, and whatever you write will be
  executed as gospel
- Let the sheet exceed ten minutes of floor time; cut or merge
  lines, fewer and harder rather than more and softer
- Reorder the gates per category - temperature before date before
  weight, because the order is the priority: died-in-transit and
  short-dated both outrank short-shipped

Why it is written this way

The three gates map to three different losses: the temperature gate guards what died on the road, the date gate guards what arrives short-lived, the weight gate guards what never shipped. Those three losses have different owners, different remedies and different frequencies - blend them into one "check the delivery" and the weight gate gets sacrificed first every busy morning (counting cases is faster than weighing). A fixed gate order turns priority into muscle memory instead of willpower.

All pass marks left as variables is deliberate distrust of the model: it would love to supply "chilled 32-39F, two-thirds shelf life remaining" as "industry standard." Plausible-sounding, but category strategies, equipment and local requirements differ by chain - a receiver executing a copied number either rejects good product (buyer's problem) or waves bad product through (store's shrink). The sheet enforces structure; the numbers come from company policy.

The future-dated rejection is the only zero-variable rule because it isn't quality control at all - it's fraud detection. Misprinted or deliberately forward-dated cases exist, and a receiver's instinct on seeing a "very fresh" date is delight. Write it down, and he has the backbone to refuse on the spot.

The ten-minute constraint decides whether this sheet ever gets used. Receiving happens at the busiest dock window with a driver watching the clock and cold chain draining - a sheet that can't finish gets skipped wholesale within a fortnight. Fewer, harder lines; each one earns its half-minute.
