I’m at a loss for words

Yeah. Actually surprised by some of the questions. Then again we as a company are not in the best position so do they really have a choice at this point. One of the visits, Adrianne constantly ask what can they do better to help stores over and over. I've even heard them admit that large volume...

Visits still happen very often. I'm in a market that gets many visits. GBP, RVP, CEO, COO, etc. We have seen it all. I'll tell you recently the visits are about experience, zone, and LOD. Guest interaction and really making sure all zones are amazing at all times is heavily pushed. For example...

Yeah it will phase out. We will be told to offer them different positions. District headcount’s will be taken into consideration for pieces moved on the board. Then the ones that remain…😬

We asked this question as soon as the mandate came out for all leaders to close. We were told there is no information on Closing TLs going away…but all signs point to it vanishing.

I wonder if it’s truly that your SD doesn’t care or he or she is working within the confines of what’s given. For example the payroll we’re allocated Is what it is. We then try to figure out how to best run the store with the resources we have. Not saying you’re wrong at all. I’m just giving...

For my store I protect Fulfillment, Front, truck, and food. You never have enough payroll to accomplish everything so you then start looking at where, as a team, you all have to pick up the slack. Definitely tough. I miss the days of an official backroom team, instocks team, zones that covered...

Then get in trouble if they answer the “how you spend your time at work” survey honestly lol 😂

From what I seen some stores have the locations on magnets so they can put them on any vehicle that's available. Others use velcro, etc. Dedicating vehicles only for this is unrealistic like you're saying.

Scanning RDC isn't forced. Stores don't have to but it's being encouraged. FDC sort process rolling out to GM stores. Small formats next year but you can ask to get it if you have reach ins. The FDC sort process essentially makes product located at all times as you scan each box and locate on...

I was there...

Rolling out next year. Some questions have been asked like can points be given back if a schedule mistake was made etc. Not much shared with us other than it's coming next year. This year is about timekeeping changes.

Yep and there is a long term plan to eliminate that extra step but I’m not sure where they’re at with that yet. It was spoken about two years ago.

I respect what you’re saying. I also don’t think putting the sort process on the store team is practical either. This is why I think innovation is needed in the way the company distributes product. A new system that doesn’t overwork and create multiple steps for the team members in stores as...

For the last few years it’s been challenging. Ups and downs. I hope we see a return to the basics. Payroll to match the workload Focus on guest experience Good looking stores We have 10,000 metrics these days with higher expectations which seems good but in reality everyone is chasing metrics...
