Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

[Produce Queen]

That reminds me of when a SRTL pulled all the locally brewed beer because a guest said it expired. It was the manufactured date. It's made seasonally. Duh. I laughed and laughed.

I was looking at monster 4 packs today and their code is something like MYYDD but it's the manufacture date. How is someone from Target supposed to know how long Monster can be on the shelf beyond bottling?

Maybe ask your Monster Rep. It's probably 6 monthes or 1 year.

My Coke rep was standing right next to me when I was trying to figure it out.. He had to look it up and pull up his calendar to decode it. Fingers got involved and it got weird. He also disagrees with their date system >_>

I've gotten to the point where if I find anything out of date, I'll short date it for the next day so it can also pull it out of the backroom.

Yes it is cause of the reset last month and all the new yogurt came in with the same expiration date which is right around now or last week. I have just qmosd everything one day at a time. Evolution yogurts 1 day then the stoney field seeds, grains another day, then the activia 4 packs the next day. Toss, Toss, Toss ... my donate guy loves me he comes every day with a big smile on his face.

Hello, I've almost been with Target for a year. I stocked dry goods for a while and later on worked on food trucks. I got addicted, so I then wanted to try out Market which I don't regret. I'd just like to thank you guys for the heads up on the yogurt.
----------------------------------------------------------
The empty space was all of the new yogurt I took off. I also took off some exolution that came in expired, then qmosed an entire box that was on my pulls.

----------------------------------------------------------

This is all of it, not much, but still worth the time.
----------------------------------------------------------

Due to this happening, and me checking out the SDA's to find more expired yogurt I was all like, "Okay, I'll have to fix this." So, I deep culled the entire yogurt section to fill up half of a three tier. It kind of sucks because that means hardly anyone was rotating, and out dated merchandise was going out. I guess now I have to communicate it more to make sure that it doesn't happen again. It was a lot of hard work, but it was worth it.

you forgot the evolutions they went on August 22 or 23 !!!
I had 5 banana boxes for my donate guy last week.
I also took all the simply balance yogurts that are in the shape of the fage yogurts off they expired too !!! get them out of your backroom too !!!

Yeah, I took a week vacation and came back to open on Tuesday and found all of this stuff. So, when I was bored on the vacation I just viewed this thread to see what to look for when I came back lol. It does make me sad every time I do find stuff that has expired a week or two ago, or any expired because someone could get sick if they bought one of the items.

I'm refusing to actually properly push freezer. It all goes to the floor and it will look like shit until backroom learns to fucking backstock the truck.

I'm training people the same way

That's not gonna help. If you're not pushing the product to the floor, you're not selling the product.

Be part of the solution.

Was told there will be a new fdc delivery schedule coming in Oct. One week is our current schedule (Su,Tu,W,F), and the next is different (Don't remember the days), and they flip flop back and forth. My etl is already dreading scheduling people for this new set up.

 

[qmosqueen]

FDC trucks on the weekends are not very productive We get a FDC truck every Tuesday thurs and sat and sun. On the weekends it is too busy with guest to be pushing dairy freezer and produce but it's Target.

My ideal days for a FDC truck is Monday Tuesday Thursday and Friday. Come on Hardlines ETL wake up and change our delivery days it cannot be that hard to do ?

The best way to make them learn is to do your damn job...

And shoot Massive amounts of freezer research so that you can show them exactly why it is important to backstock...

especially in the freezer.

Did anyone else's 2lb shredded cheese go cheap as hell? $2.59!

Corporate put out a RW to verify they were scanning the same as the label (which they were)but considering we would take like a $2 loss per bag, I went ahead and pulled them and mysupported it.

I think he/she meant they were pushing ALL THE PRODUX! until they back-stocked the freezer.

Either way, when BR pisses me off I remind them just who orders the Turkey's in my store (As well as wears the pants, since BR can wear shorts in my store).

I mean, I have to push it all since they won't fucking backstock it. I have no idea why we keep get two freezer pallets.


Also, he
