Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

[oath2order]

My CTL is starting to give me closing shifts again.

Fucking closed for three years nonstop

 

[DoWork]

Way to fuck up, target. Send me four cases of long stem strawberries a week before Valentine's and not a single one after that. I also like getting 11 cases of organic stew meat, 8-10 cases of cauliflower, broccoli, and mini peppers each.

Words cannot express how I would like to say fuck you.

we order 2 cases of cut veggies and get 10 cases, why do we even do the order when the FDC sends whatever they want ?
we received 8 cases of cauliflower, broccoli florets, and 6 cases of the stop peppers.
i need snap peas, i ordered 4 cases and received zero.

why can't i order the bagged red potatoes any more?

 

[Produce Queen]

I was finally able to order the new (to my store) MP red potatoes today.

Banana Counts?

LOL

I routinely saw like -6000 when I actually care to look at our Banana on hands as I know they are always effed.

All instocks tl know this is a thing. As far as I know it's not even on the drastic count report.

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.

When I opened and zoned milk I brought whatever was going back to fill their fridge. Then checked cream & half/half. Divided that up when I pushed it. Cause we normally only get one case and they will take the whole thing.

Only time they call is weekend if they are completely out. Usually not a big deal.

 

[Produce Queen]

SBTL asked me to bring up milk yesterday again and I did. She asked again today and I told her if her team isn't doing it at night she needs to address that and I don't mind helping out but I had no time today. So when her mid came in she had them get it. That should have been her plan all along.

Inventory next week, so I'm prepping by researching all of produce

 

[indigo25]

We had the produce reset, ordered all the stuff they didn't send, still didn't get it.

 

[Firefox]

Every once in a while I think, "Hey, it'd be pretty cool to be a part of consumables/PFresh." Then, one of two things happen; Either I have to pull a freezer batch as part of the CAFs, or I read this thread. In either scenario, I count my lucky stars that I don't have to deal with any of that.

i wish we could order bakery

I really loved my four years in pfresh. Not every second, but I loved my team mostly and we were really a family-even if it was a dysfunctional one. I like being busy and seeing the impact of my effort.

 

[indigo25]

I miss being in love with PFresh. Moving from PA to CTL has not been what I thought it would be. I never see my team anymore because hours are so low we have one shift a day. I'm constantly pulled away to other departments, and I'm struggling with full time school and full time work. I love my team, but I am having a difficult time with enjoying my department anymore.

Try being a PA that has to do most of the CTL roles without the extra pay or authority because the CTL position was stripped away....its so much fun

I don't understand this. Yes there are no CTL's but there is supposed to be a SFTL who is in charge of market. Seems to me like you're getting screwed.

That's what I did for awhile before they decided to interview me for TL. :/ It sucks. Technically I'm a salesfloor TL, but they still call me the CTL. I enjoyed being PA and doing some of the TL stuff, now with it being "official" they just add more and more. You shouldn't be stuck with the TL duties at all. It's not fair.

Try being a market tm (no extra pay) for years and doing not only the pa's job but the ctl some days as well. Two years they abused me...

Isn't that exactly what pfreshdude is saying is happening to him?

He's a pa, which for my store is a dollar over base pay. I was making the same as any other cashier or salesfloor tm but working pa/ctl duties.

I know but we have no more room on our coolers with all the yogurt and juice we keep getting . 4 FDC trucks a week and 3 deliveries of milk the coolers are stuffed to the max.
