Anyone having any issues receiving the Spiral hams or the bagged gala apples (more specifically, gala bagged Michigan Apples)?

We got 6 boxes of spiral hams on Saturday not sure if we ordered any for Tuesday delivery got none on Tuesday but our bunker if full of About 30 hams. We got 2 boxes of the mesh bagged sage gala appples on Tuesday Also got 1 Spiderman sage gala apples.

It's way too early to be getting Hams. Nobody is going to buy a spiral ham when there is still over a month until Easter. My team isn't ordering any until we get a bit closer...hopefully our HQ push isn't something insane.

Nope they just went on sale this week to 1.99 per lbs. And we have sold 4 this week already. We just set the front bunker to hams on Tuesday. Put the lunchsbles back to home location.

Also don't wait till the last minute when all stores will be ordering them cause there won't be any left

Cannot wait for the 3 pallets of eggs to come in next week. Yeah !!!

My area hasn't had a problem with hams being cut...that might be though because we're a wholeseller store. If anything, we get screwed by the early pushes. I had to donate about 200lbs in January due to the early heavy pushes for Thanksgiving.

I havent gotten any Hams in the last 2 weeks even though i have been ordering them. They are on sale too...

Oh joy. I forgot it is that time of the year for egg says. This explains why there is a front endcap with eggs.

I dont have any hams and I havent recieved any for over a month. I need hams so I can set the bunker. That is the only reason why I need them.

So next weeks Ad has corned beef in it. Doesn't say Super Targets only but that's where they'll be. Nearest one is 75 miles away I think I found the first corporate candidate for them to fire.​

Lol our guests would have to drive about 350 miles........unless they just go to a grocery store instead.

What's so stupid is we would likely sell tons of it but the system won't let me order it and when my STL contacted our food partner, (or whatever they are called now), the answer was nope, ST's only. Definitely a lost sales opportunity there not to mention pissing off the guests who see it in the Ad.

Oh joy...cant wait to hear people complain to me that its in the ad but we dont have it...so awesome

There is a chance HQ might send you some to put in the promo bunker. I remember they have done that in the past.

Huh? My Pfresh always has corned beef around this time...

I get corned beef. Ordered two cases, I believe we were shipped six.

The push was supposed to arrive by Feb 28th. I have two listed as on order, but nothing has come yet.

 

[Noiinteam]

My store is not a super , but I get my corned beef and cabbage here every year. I would think all p fresh would get an order, but who knows.

 

[pfreshdude]

Anyone have the DPCI for the corned beef...ill see if I can order it Friday but I dont think we are carrying it..maybe it will come in on C+S for an autoshipment friday

 

[Jack of all Workcenters]

Anyone else having issues with lunchables replenishment?

You may not need the dpci if you can find it on the mydevices, if they are working.

I tried looking it up on wednesday on the mydevice nothing came up.

I have plenty of the small lunchables since i took them out of the bunker and put Hams in the bunker. We are low on some and others are out of the boxed lunchables with the yellow/red boxes.
all other lunchables full.

It should be in your meat scale if you search corned...

Some of the big ones are clearance, so maybe supply issue for new package/flavor?

Got 3 cases of ham in today so thats good I guess.

Im so done with the whole C+S and Backroom Teams/Processes....I was gone 1 freaking day...1 day!!!

Today walked in to all my racks having backstock on them with Freezer and Dairy completely full. In the freezer someone left the pallet jack in the pallet so the hydraulics were all messed up. One backroom called out so I was told I had to do ALL my own pulls again for the autofills, which as you can imagine was just so much fun during a flow day trying to track down something to put the pulls on because my racks were full allready in the freezer and cooler.

Nobody bothered to push milk since I did it wednesday morning and in the last 7 days we have had one person who was supposed to be working opening market both thursdays do something else entirely basically screwing over market hours, a callout from a closing TM who is really sick, and nobody scheduled at all to close one of the nights on purpose, they didnt change the schedule or anything.

Today, again, we were supposed to have 5 people doing C+S for 2 1/2 hours. I guess one of them just went home and the flow TL didnt bother to tell anyone until we asked the ETL-LOG where they were and they told us and they also didnt come up with any sort of plan to fill that so horray down 1 person. We have a 400 piece truck and they expect it to be all pushed in 2 1/2 hours while the 4th person is backstocking in between the flat pushes and the 5th person isnt even there. Flow has 24 something people and their push today was like 1600. So lets see....give me about 10 hours to push out/backstock the 400 piece truck compared to the 70+ hours flow is scheduled today. It would basically be the equivalent of flow only being there from 6-8 and only getting through A/B block, half of electronics and most of apparel and not even that because that would be 48 or so hours.

YET all my ETL Log will say is we just have to push it out faster...is there some secret I dont know about in terms of the C+S push where they can logically get it all done in that ammount of time with breaking everything down, bcoding it, FIFOING, and backstocking. We used to get anywhere between 16-20 hours on fridays for our push because that is the largest day. Now we are lucky to get 10

How many hours does your C+S team get per week because for about 900-1000 pieces of push per week we get MAYBE 30 hours which is supposes to include bcoding and backstocking

 

[Produce Queen]

We get about 75 hrs a week for 1200-1500 pieces. 1 person is scheduled 8 hrs each FDC day and they push, then back stock everything. 4-5 others push for 4 hrs. We always come clean. I am the 8 hr person 1 day a week. We have a very efficient team and process and I have great communication and support from the Flow TL. If we're done early, we go help the GM truck. If the FDC truck is late Flow will help us. Luckily with the change to FDC a year ago, most boxes have pick labels so there isn't much to b-code. Just some of the meat and produce.

Do you sort anything? Bowl anything out? What time does it typically get there?

 

[sigma7]

I get 72 hours for three trucks. I have three guys that work 8 hours each every truck day, 0400-1230. My trucks average between 550-600, but we definitely have days that are lighter and heavier. My weeks are about 1500-1800 on average. They manage to get it done the majority of the time, but I have a stellar team.

We receive the truck a day before we actually push it and stage it in the appropriate cooler. The days are Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. Typically we will take the pallet out of the cooler, bring it to the line, and break it out into 3 flatbeds organized by locations. One flat has all the backwall frozen, for example icecream etc etc.
