Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

They are different dpci's. I found that out the hard way when I used a PDA to order 4011. I ordered 18, received 0. In the guide, they're 4012 and 4013 if I recall correctly.
 
I'll never forget when we all found Starbuck's missing Pastries (the entire order). In Small Appliances.


beeeeeeeeeppppppppppp ..... asystole, charge 1200.... CLEAR! :) :) ;) ;)

I'd FIRE them all on the spot! Regardless of procedure(s)! :mad: IF they came back the next shift I send them home! Till they go the hint. FIRED!

Gooooooooodddd gawwwwwd!!!! Really???? How brain dead and damaged do you have to be!??? Oh wait...

MY ETL-LOG took FA cold McClanes put on a tub with BIB's, popcorn, popcorn oil and just parked it at FA... :) :) Good to go right!?? :) ;) Thankfully I found what happened to it before it got to even the FATM's....
 
Dear HQ:

I see some one at least is reading my requests on resetting PFresh... unfortunately... you still BLEW IT! :mad:

You nuked cabbage?!! Cole Slaw mix?!!!??? :mad: Yet I still have the cole slaw dressing in cold and dry???!!! Really whats the point!!! URRGHHH! :mad:

Great all the cut fruit that was nothing but QMOS, and the fresh herb clamshells... GOOD RIDDANCE!

Really you need to ASK the STORES what we need!!! Nannuk in MN doesn't have a clue!
 
So is a discontinued list for produce no longer a thing before a reset?
This reset is uh, well, interesting. Do I really need 5-4ft shelves for 2 dpci's of grapes?

Yeah... interesting is not the word I would use... :p

Nope, don't need 2 shelves for grapes. Unless they were on sale they don't sell THAT well.

Long stem strawberries.. yeah cute for the saps who need it for vidiots day.... now what for the next 6 weeks? QMOS baby!

Some clean up in the useless fruit drinks...but not enough... IOW they are still there! :) ;) Total waste of space.

I don't think any one is "learning" from the pilots in re grocery, not one bit.

Yeah some poor planning here on this reset.. I've never seen that report, having it would have been a plus so the PA(s) didn't order cases of stuff the POG team just nuked... :mad: now I've got get that stuff flexed and TPC'd to get rid of it... Oh well Last chance slaw mix on near clearance price! :) :) ;)

This is one area.. that suffers a lot... COMMUNICATION... ie: resets and vendor items on SPP that we don't carry already..... Doesn't help when the PA(s) just stick the SPP in a pile and .... oh... ummm....

Bakery coupons incoming

Oh, puhlease.... no... That table is the table of misfit bakery items as it is....I don't need it to be any more empty than it is now... I've tried many of the tactics here too, still no joy... :(

I just sent in a mysupport today requesting my OTL for 18ct MP eggs be decreased. I'll let you know if it works.
 
I have a ? for those of you with a Starbucks in your store: do they walkie you to bring them milk, whipping cream and half&half or do they get it themselves? I don't mind helping them sometimes but it happens pretty frequently. Their closers are supposed to stock it at night but often don't. I've got tons of my own stuff to do in the morning so it irks me that the SBTL doesn't hold her team accountable. She's the one who walkies me the most often.

They get it themselves and are told to grab it first from the Dairy cooler before clearing out my shelves.
 
They get it themselves and I always tell them to take it from the bottom shelf the ones expiring tomorrow. Never get it from the back that milk goes out about 2 weeks. I want them to take the milk expiring the soonest. I only give them half and half and heavy whipping cream from the back.

In the store I work for, everything FA and SB needs, they get it themselves.

Nothing would butter my biscuits more than Starbuck's coming to raid my Milk on the Sales Floor immediately after I pushed a full Flat of milk halfway across the store to fill it to 100% capacity... That said, even though I scolded the Starbuck's TL, he is still awesome.

They get it themselves thank god

The clear my shelves first.

AFAIK, they get it from the back. If it's not at the back, then on the shelves. I've only seen them get it from the back most of the time and once on the shelves (cheese, I think).:)
 
I got to leave Market, by absolutely NAILING the Turkey Orders (which i did 95% of), we sold our last turkey, 1/5/16, while never being out of stock of what we COULD order.

./end of brag

Ya we did a great job with ours this year. I didnt order a single MP turkey and just went off butterball numbers haha
 
I know valentines cookies and cupcakes are in the ad this week. But really who do you think is going to push them with hours cut ??? They are gonna sit in the freezer most of the week right now we have 4 red tubs full of just valentines bakery And only 1 table to squeeze them on with all the other bakery !!

For most seasonal sets we flex into savor spot or the mini seasonal area usually if we have a bunch. I ran out of most of my valentines stuff earlier this week

I just QMOSed 10 cases of eggs today that were just sitting on a pallet in the back of our small dairy room. I hadnt really had longer opening shifts or the time to dig through them the last week and ya that was fun

My Starbucks team grabs it from the floor. Its great to get short dates out of there so we dont have that many outdates to send back to the vendor. If your SBUX TMs are grabbing milk make sure its NOT from the backroom

While I understand and see your point and philosophy, I disagree. Why? Example. lets just say that this TM comes and raids your freshly zoned coolers for what ever, they take 4-5 of these out for various things and run back to their little area. Now my cooler(s) look like some one didn't zone them! :mad:

Again, I see your POV, and concept, I just don't like TM's from other ares taking stuff out my SF coolers. BACKROOM COOLERS! That is YOUR STOCK ROOM! Not my SF. And if its that short of date any way, it should be pulled and QMOS'd!

We thankfully do not have crapbux, but the FA TM's taking bananas off my table is ANNOYING! Go to the ambient room and get yours! Or better yet, here is YOUR BOX of bananas to store at FA! Now go away! :mad: I've been pushing this for years, and the push back is we don't have a spot to store them. Oh, yeah.. let ME FIX THAT! :)

This is right up there with BR dumping CL and FA into pulls for market. Let it sit, till they come get it! PA's/Market and Flow TM do not have time to do FA/CL work too! FA should be its own FILL GROUP! Obviously those idiotic bottle of juice with doll heads don't go to Market! Some thinking by BRTM's would solve this. Same with CL candy. CL candy has different UPC, and DPCI's thus CL Fill group! Unless there is a SPP there is not dual loc's for this stuff.
