Foot traffic is way down at my store, as a TM and I were noting today, and we agreed that the DEI pullback was a huge mistake. Where we disagreed is that I think a new CEO starting early next year would have a good opportunity to admit it was a mistake and bring it back. She said no, it'd be...

It's only been a week. You could be lost in the shuffle or the HR person could be unorganized or someone who's in the decision tree has been out sick. Who knows. If you really want the job, be the squeaky wheel. Call, send emails, show up at the store. But be advised: @nevermind is correct...

Reshopped a very full, unsorted triple-tier cart this morning that took me all over the store, except for Style and Market. My store is a mess. The aisles facing the racetracks look pretty good. But get any deeper into a department and most of them are a wreck. I don't really go down aisles in...

I've done this once or twice, and no one has said anything. Anyone know why this is even a thing?

Don't know what was going on, but there were no closing experts at my store last night. Pulls weren't done, much less left staged for the morning crew. Reshop either wasn't collected or if it was in some areas, it was just left heaped in triple-tier carts behind GS, no attempt at sorting. Good...

But are any of those jobs at the corporate level? According to the article, those are the jobs being cut, at least for now.

Yes, just today! This was for a side cap that's part of an end cap POG and I was missing a few of the labels that should have had multiples. Plus another one really had me confused, but a label in the middle of a shelf wasn't there. Thought I'd accidentally thrown it away, but nope, just not there.

The problem appears to have been resolved - yay! Funny because I was back stocking a few things from the previous truck when my zebra pinged with a notification that some bugs have been fixed. Not sure if it was referring to this particular one, but I noticed that it wasn't happening anymore...

Can I still fill it out if I'm not "officially" a POG TM? I do plenty enough of them to have an opinion! Yesterday, when I did 3 cosmetics revisions, the enormously long lists of fixtures and ISM already in place were ridiculous. Same for the 20 sections of Nail Care to click through for build...

We aren't going to be selling bikes anymore? Not sure if the TM who builds our bikes will be happy or sad about that.

We need more vitamins and band-aids? Or is this to allow enough space to actually FIFO the OTC meds without having to take everything out first? That would be nice.

My store isn't high-volume. Used to be low-volume, but that might have gone up a notch with SFS. Although our trucks are consistently a lot bigger than when I started 10+ years ago; still only 3, sometimes 4 per week. Holiday season work load has varied a lot over the years; don't know what...

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...
