Or at my store our newish SD says they want to have end caps used for current merch, not clearance. Except so many guests used to shop the end cap in my area that's been used for clearance almost exclusively for the 10+ years I've been there. Holiday time, when there's not much clearance anyway...

And if there's no new ISM, it shouldn't even be part of the guided process. Did Women's Shave the other day and there's a lot of ISM, but it's not new. Yet I have to click through all the sections for it. It's not hard. But I'm the kind of person who stops paying attention after a while and...

Might be my selective memory, but I didn't remember about Target donating to the Orange Guy's inauguration. Gross. My store's shelves aren't bare like the photo in the article, but few TMs, being pushed to do more with fewer hours, low morale, less in the way of snacks and treats in the break...

How do you see both locations? I'm seeing only the old one and it's not helpful. If I scan a new product when I'm in the "build" phase, it doesn't tell me the location in the new POG. So I'm hunting for DPCIs on the label strip. Sometimes, it doesn't matter all that much if I have a product...

You don't have to do this - I did one today where there were a lot of pegs and it was easier to do the outside parts of two sections and then do the middle part where they meet. So I was going back and forth between two sections.

Wait, your SD won't pause drive-up when there's a thunderstorm going on? That's not good.

Thanks for the reminder. But I'm confused. It seems like when I did this, I was looking at old POG info, with the previous location. So I was thinking it didn't work to change the SFQ before the pull? I need to pay better attention in the next one.

1) I do only those that I suspect will be wrong or already know are wrong. Like when the batch it has me pull ends up with surplus or certain products I know from experience won't fit what it says. I think even if only a few things change, SFQs for the whole POG can change, but I don't know...

Did my first ones today with end caps. My feedback is that I don't need babysitting. This would probably be pretty useful for someone who hasn't don't many POGs. Or someone like a former TM who felt intimidated by the whole POG process. But I've done quite a few and have kind of worked out how I...

Because of your school schedule? We have a couple TMs who bounce back and forth. And one who works FT I think at another job and comes back during 4th quarter. Talk to HR.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if it's higher at my store than it was during DBO days. I'm all the time finding unticketed clearance and salvage that's at $0.00 but still hanging around in my area. Didn't happen when I was doing my own PC and salvage. Occasionally also find located salvage in the...

Don't know the answer to this, but I had something goofy that might be related. When I went to set a couple of end caps recently that were due the week of 6/29, my zebra said I had two that were overdue. It was past the 29th, but they were due that week so they weren't overdue yet. Thinking...

First time doing a revision since this discussion started. Did the L'Oreal one today and it wasn't with this new format talked about here, but the batch I pulled has me curious. The POG for some products showed that 8 would fit when only 4 would, just as one example. There were plenty of others...

At my store, your availability for FF would work really well. It's not uncommon for hours to be cut, but I agree with you that what you've seen does seem drastic. I'd approach your ETL with a question along the lines of, "I know that hours will fluctuate and that my availability isn't wide open...

Which is why I said without them, I'd be doomed. At least some of my area is zoned. And they work pretty well for most of the things they're used for. But not all of my area has self-pushers, hence the problem.
