Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

[Brewhaha]

I do not understand why Market Pantry turkeys don't sell.

I was told by another co worker that they d0nt come preseasoned compared to butterball turkeys. Plus with pfresh stores being around for 5 years, people have a preference for butterball over MP

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Butterball is a known brand, mp is not,

 

[BigEyedPhish]

Surprisingly to me we have sold just as many MP as BB's so far this year (MP flew out the door faster than BB last year with the .40c price difference). If anyone hasn't had them, MP Turkey's are REALLY good, just as good as Butterball imo.

If you've never tried the MP turkey breast cooked in the crockpot, let me tell ya it's amazing.

MP sold a lot on Sunday because I literally had no way to get into the freezer. I strangely had some guests who were very understanding.


You guys know the Simply Balanced milk, right? This stuff: Simply Balanced milk at Target

In that same cooler are the Horizon milk of the same size. How the fuck do I get this stuff to stop leaking? No matter what, every day, whether I cleaned it or not the previous day, there will ALWAYS be milk puddling.

If you have the option, set your capacities for the milk/dairy items, It'll take a bit. We are running into an issue with instocks scanning stuff, telling us the capacities were wrong, and then researching it anyway.

I change them as I go. For milk, I would ask what you want it changed to, and count it as full. Lots of times it is full or they haven't pushed milk yet so it will be full shortly. Cause when you change a capacity it will ask for a count. Might as well make it right or try to.

I do not understand why Market Pantry turkeys don't sell.

ASANTS, my old farts love the turkey breast at .99/lb. They buy two or three at a time. The bigger the better. I sell plenty of smaller MP turkeys every year as well and the bigger BB. They are either penny wise or pound foolish in our area. MP to old farts and team members, BB to guests who have more cash than they can spend.

I love the breasts and always have one in the freezer. Perfect size for two, and I can brine it in my stock pot in the fridge while it defrosts. So amazing.

I hope no one does this at my store but thought this was funny.

I'll answer yours if you tell me why the fuck that junk turns highlighter-yellow after it leaks on the shelf.

Diet. Grassfed cows have milk that makes butter thats more yellow in color. Dried on the shelf milk thats oxidizing is probably the same thing....

...as for the SB milk. Smack whoever is receiving and breaking down the pallets. Mine like to drop the case, which makes one or two explode the next couple leak slowly and maybe one or two not leak at all. Also no stocking so its sitting on the edge of the shelf. Gravity is not your friend when you've got liquids in a Tetra pack carton.

Why are they sending so much goddamn frozen and bakery

Why are they sending so much goddamn frozen and bakery

Tis the season. We are having an issue with them sending too many eggs and not enough fresh meat.

 

[qmosqueen]

More eggs than Easter. Too much bakery also. Not enough butterballs.

 

[redeye58]

Tis the season.

Ho Ho HOly MOTHER of Sara Lee, that's a CRAPton....
*just saw my walk-in

 

[qmosqueen]

We have a handle on eggs and bakery donate donate donate.

If they were going to screw us with eggs, I'd appreciate the FDC actually giving us a heads up. Particularly when changing vendors. But no. Let the stores take the hit for the DCs bullshit.

 

[Brewhaha]

I still havent ordered any MP Turkeys (excluding the turkey breast). We've been ordering BB only since they are the only ones that sell.

Now, HQ nor mysupport have fixed by endcap problem. I dont if I mentioned it or not but my store only has one dairy endcap. We use it this time of the year for season dairy and mp 12 count eggs. But with the recent pfresh transition, someone decided it was okay to put the juice/fruit smoothie endcap where we have our dairy sales planners. So that means we have no place to put all the eggs and season creamers and such.

Now I mysupported this. I was told that my store should have a place for both A145 dairy endcaps and the juice/fruit smoothie endcap. They attached a blueprint as proof to show me where everything should be. Well, this person on mysupport sent me the wrong blueprint. It is not for my store. So this person is basing their information on a wrong blueprint. This blueprint they sent me was for a store that has 2 dairy endcaps along with the 2 freezer endcaps. My store only has 1 dairy endcap cooler. We cant have a 2nd cooler because of a pillar is in the way (we are a 2 level store)

 

[SFSFun]

Can you take a picture that shows both endcaps and attach it to the mySupport?

Just tell them they are wrong. If you can get a pic of a current adjacency from your pptl it might help convince them.

 

[Produce Queen]

@Brewhaha just reopen the case and point out their error. You have to be persistant with mysupport.

I am going to talk to my signing and plano team leads today to get this information for mysupport. Hopefully this will help.
