Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

Question, for the food that comes out in CAFs, especially in dry grocery, Market is supposed to push that, yes?
 
I think we tend to have a gentlemen's agreement with Steritech when it comes to backstock and repacks.. Is it food-safe? No. Is it avoidable? Not really. Is it long-term? Nope. It's not really a reason to make a fuss. Donations need to be in food safe boxes because it's technically an outbound shipment and that's how it's supposed to be handled. Plus, there's some banks that won't accept it if it's not in a food box.

So it's ok to put mixed nuts in the same repack that was used previously with dishwashing soap that had leaked a little.

If your repack had soap leak, why wasn't it thrown out? Or why wouldn't you grab a different one?

So I can store 30 boxes of strawberries, that fit perfectly, on filthy red tub that had chemicals stored on it previouly

Again, dirty tub? Do stores not wash them, at least before putting food on there? Nothing out of the case pack sits on a tub if I see it. I can't expect others to think, but I'm sure as heck not putting up with that shit on my shift. It's worth the time to do it right.
 
For the morning autofills, we put dry market in the white plastic bins and use those silver racks. But we also do the same with HBA, and the bins get mixed up all the time. Several of the bins have a layer of dried out shampoo caking the bottom...

For all other pulls we just put it on tubs.

We never use repack boxes in the backroom unless price change batches are huge and need to be on pallets, or softlines sends back a ton of product that hasn't set yet.
 
Yeah I'm not fucking pulling anything today. I get a MyDevice for two minutes and instantly "hurr dur fucking price change needs another"

Milk can be empty, bakery table can be empty, someone else can do the order.

The lack of equipment is getting ridicilous

pull and fill just grab the stuff off the shelf and take to the floor. It won't sell from the backroom and if there is no equipment there is no way
you can SUBT, so just have the BRTM get baffles and errors on their reports when they go to pull stuff not in those locations, its not your fault there is no equipment.

At least you got the product out to the sales floor to make sales !!
 
Yeah, lack of equipment has been a bigger problem than normal lately. Even when I come to open at 6am, I'm lucky if I get a MyDevice because they're having people come in for flow at 5:40am, or holding MyDevices back. I usually have to beg for equipment so I can do the SDA before it rolls, and then I try and hide that I have it for as long as possible until I eventually give it up after hearing "Can anyone give up a MyDevice for instocks?" 100x in 15 minutes. It's getting extremely annoying. Usually my ETL gives me theirs because they know market is pretty much the only place in the store getting a good VIBE score and they don't want us to slip.

For the new bakery set with halloween items are any of you missing the shelf life #of days on the labels? I even tried reprinting them but still nothing. Workbench has a list but it's from December. I just ended up using similar items or guessing for now.
 
Coming from a super: stone fruit is no longer store orderable. That's our front table. All of it. This is anticipation for the new set, which is ready to go, but no product yet. What do you want to bet the front table is going to look like shit for the next two weeks until we get the correct product in? It's never on time, if it comes at all. We are going to be flexing fucking potatoes on the front table until then. So little planning goes into this fuckery we call replenishment.

I ran into that when pushing bakery last night. I ended up just monarching the new product with the same date as what was already on the floor.

My ETL-SF found some list of all bakery items on workbench. She searched "shelf life" if I recall correctly. The result was for Super Targets, but the product is the same.

I know exactly what you're missing, it's those two things of 12 cupcakes, right?

We've been having the leaking issue in our produce, dairy and freezer coolers. Was told it's a widespread issue and to just deal with it. A guy keeps coming out to fix it but it just happens again. Getting tough to push pallets/carts/flats over the huge hump of ice in the freezer. Not to mention the safety hazard of it all.

We just had someone come out to work on our backroom freezer too. 3 of the fans stopped working and under one of them there was ice buildup from the fan all the way down to some of the bins and a lump of ice on the floor

lol no on the dry grocery. Not at my store. Market is allready responsible for reshop, backstocking and pushing the morning pulls and 12-5pm pulls, zoning the entire market section and being responsible for pushing out food truck with the CS push team 3 days a week

Washing tubs...is your store rolling in free hours? We have a vendor who washes our carts, they were in a few weeks ago...but I have never seen anyone ever wash a tub?
