Ooh, really shouldn't have said you were available all day because you're not really. If you're still available at times your store has difficulty keeping fully staffed, it might work out okay. But if you're not available at high-demand times, you might find yourself left off the schedule. No...

Used to be we hardly ever rolled any truck. Now it's common, although I'm not sure it's always the same areas. We get only 3 per week, so there are opportunities to catch up. Back stock doesn't usually pile up too much, since whatever's left after pushing a vehicle generally gets back stocked...

Seems like the label strips for OTC and Personal Care are lining up better with the product for this last round of revisions. Not 100% perfect but a whole lot better than the last couple times. So glad to see an improvement with this. (Now that it's been mentioned, wait until next time! It'll be...

I'm relieved to know it's not just me. Other TMs at my store not having the problem and me having the problem with multiple zebras was making me take it personally! :-)

Has anyone else had trouble with back stocking, where you have to scan the product's UPC twice? The light glows, the zebra beeps, but there are just a couple of pale gray bars near the top of the screen. I scan again, and it works normally, scan the waco bar code and that's fine. It's just the...

And we're always hungry so food always goes over well. :-) Seriously, feed us and it means something. Correct about "thank you" meaning nothing when it's said for every little thing. Our SD does this over the walkie all day long and some of us just do eye rolls at each other.

Testing it out today - usually I put in a PTO request on Sundays to bump my hours up close to 40. The last one was auto-denied because of this changeover. Hoping this one goes through.

Yep. It's perennial issue but it seems to be worse in recent months. The store looks trashed much of the time except for certain areas like Soft Lines, which gets cleaned up pretty regularly. No one has time to zone. Heard an ETL say over walkie yesterday that some back room aisles are blocked...

Whatever you do, be very careful to avoid favoritism or even the appearance of it. It's happened before at my store and created a lot of resentment - kind of the opposite of your goal! There's a TL at my store who will ask TMs what their favorite beverage, snack, treat is and then requisition it...

TTOG: It's not nice to open a bag of Halloween candy, eat a couple pieces, then leave the open bag on a shelf. At least it was a small bag and it didn't spill, so I guess thanks for that. Next time, just pay the $4 and take the bag home with you.

If this has been asked in this thread before, my apologies. Does anyone know why we can't pre-tie revisions? There are some that are pretty extensive even though no shelves move, with lots of new product coming in. Sure would be helpful to have accurately printed pick labels on all those cases...

It'll be interesting to see if not having displays leads to guests opening boxes to see what the thing looks like. (Like the pictures on the box aren't helpful, I guess.)

Here's something I've been noticing lately: The SFC is set at what it should be, say 8. But the SFQ is at 26 or some weirdly much larger number than what will fit. I don't know how the quantity can possibly be more than the capacity and at first, I thought I was looking at it backwards. These...

I wish the Chatbot feature was more intuitive. Had to use it today for a glitch with a recently set end cap and hope I did it right enough that I'll get a response that's actually helpful. Probably 75% of the time, I have to back up and try another button because I picked the wrong one.

I'm GM with a primary focus on OTC and Personal Care. Will have to give this some thought - I'm a "can't think of anything right now" person who then has a brain flash when I'm in the middle of doing a task: "Can't someone think of a better way to do this?" This is a good forum to reach a wide...
