Archived Big red shopping baskets in raceway

[redeye58]

How long until kids start sitting on them and running around the store dragging them? How long until I can shoot kids with a net gun and drag them to a zoo when they do it?

How long 'til I need to clear room in the walk-in?

 

[Pale]

Won't need to clear much, it's kids we're talking about.

 

[Planosss]

We have 2. Are they filled w the same products in each store or is it store's discretion?

We have 4 , and it's store discretion, we've had different items on them.... they are an eye catcher?

 

[Planosss]

Agreed. Attractive nuisance. Accident waiting to happen.

How? What kind of an accident? Someone tripping and falling? Huh?

 

[qmosqueen]

I see them being recalled or taken off the floor before Black Friday

 

[Leo47]

I think they're so awkward looking but I mean they are emptying quick so they must be working

 

[PM2NO]

HA! Errmerrgerd ... I thought that was my store for a moment: we have "guests" do the same thing all the time leaving scuffs on the newly polished floors behind them.

In my store it's the team members who drag the basket holders at the front lanes from either SCO or the other extra one we have to replace the guest entrance ones and there is so many scratch marks on the tile

 

[PM2NO]

Wonder what the local fire marshals well think. Aisles blocked

Rules are meant to be broken

 

[signingminion]

We put that exact item although ours is by the front door.

Merch update Monday or Redwire specifically days not in a&a or front of store.

We got three. They are too big to be good for much.

 

[StockerAce]

I like them. But I do think they are going to become trash cans by guests. Don't know where to put that shirt you don't want? How about this big red basket. Need to throw away your starbucks cup? Toss it in the red basket

Maybe they'll stop using the shelves for all that shit then. At least there's only 4 baskets (in my store) so it will be in one of 4 areas. Instead of 50,000. Silver lining? LOL

 

[carafe]

My biggest issue with those is there's scarcely any room for product on them, how often does someone need to take fifteen minutes to refill all of them so they aren't literally just big hunks of plastic in the way?

 

[CsideMaster]

Yup...with lots of Gatorade right by the entrance.

 

[qmosqueen]

Wow new trash bins.

Cart attendant can you cleanup the trash throughout the store particularly the large basket displays in the main aisles.

 

[StargazerOmega]

Yes, and I hate them.

 

[Shoomm]

My very first thought.

That, and when there's a rush of soccer moms, those things are going to turn into bumper cars.

I think we only got 2, that I've noticed. They're kind of amusing, aesthetically, but that seems to be all they've got going for them. Glad I don't do any drugs, or I'd have been sure I was hallucinating when I first saw them.

 

[Yetive]

We just drop pallets in the aisles.

Yeah ...our fire door is constantly blocked. I can remember several years back just after the store was newly opened, the fire marshal / inspector paid a visit and had a sh*t fit over it. He provided a one-time warning. For about the next year that area was kept so clean and clutter free you could practically eat off the surface. Of course now it's back to what you pictured times 4.

lol they can fuck off with that "not in the front of store" crap

We had a visit today.

No complaints

My new DTL wants absolutely nothing in the front of the store, says its too "Walmart" which I can understand.
But it provides quick sales on hot ass days and we can just drop a pallet of water or gatorade right there.

 

[Kartman]

They need to make designer pallets.

"HEY GUYS I KNOW HOW TO INCREASE SALES!

BIGGER BASKETS!!!!111!"

Call your local fire marshal and leave a tip.

We've developed this bad habit in our store as well. In my past lives, if you blocked ANY fire exit or emergency device, you were written up the first time. The second time you were fired. This was pretty universal until I arrived at Spot.

By the way, in most states, statutes exists that permit prosecution of a person(s) that knowingly or unknowingly blocks a fire escape that results in an injury or death. So don't do it.

I think the Little Tykes big baskets are eye catching. I think the concept for use could be so much better though. Not that Im as smart as all of the people in Minnesota ( thats where all the really smart people are right?) but I work in a store and that gives me a bit of a reality perspective. Right now although they catch your eye, they are in the way. We move pallets all day now and flats and boats too. We do this navigating around guests which is suppose to be our priority. And now lets add a big red rock. Why didnt the really smart designer make these just a teeny bit smaller so they would fit right on an endcap? They could have been the "featured basket endcaps" Put them up about 10", block that area off with some type of shelf blocker so the contents of the basket is closer to eye level. If you did this in grocery the endocarp would now hold 75 boxes of mac and cheese instead of 5,000,000. Easy to keep full, change out and backstock. You still get the eye cactching design without taking up valuable floor space.. But then again Im not as smart as those folks in Minneapolis

 

[Kompa]

Had a few...big people complain about how they are hard to move around the.
