Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

Yea we're only supposed to tpc up to 25% off, and you will get a pop-up window on the computer when you do it for more but it's better to get some $ then it is to qmos it and get nothing. In my almost 4 years as a PA, as long as I can speak to the reason why it's over 25%, it's fine.
These days, with little to no interest paid to market by mgmt, I doubt anyone notices what's tpc'd.
 
I'm the CTL at my store, and my TLs before me while I was PA were okay with it only if we have a lot of product leftover. It's isn't my STLs favorite thing to do, but he prefers at least some sales vs. none. It's not for when we just have a couple stuck on the shelf, but if we have cases in the back I'll do it. I'd rather that than get nothing for them. Sometimes even at 99 cents they don't move too well unfortunately.
 
We've always been given the choice of price. Normally if I have to tpc it's half off or more. I can kill it early, but I need the price to entice the day side shoppers.
 
Maybe im wrong and obviously we want to stack them on different levels, but if they are all on the same shelf and arent touching, im pretty sure no cross contamination can happen since they cant leak on eachother especially if they are ALSO in boxes. Still pretty funny and that stuff happens from time to time in my backroom when some people pull...so annoying. Reading labels is hard I guess

This delivery was for sales for Wednesday and Thursday New Year's Eve I know it was dead both days !!

Oh you need yogurt. Cause the dairy cooler only had about 50 full cases of yogurt and chobani are on sale. Dah our local grocery store has chobani at 88 cents so we are not selling it.
Also you only have 1 tub of juice in the dairy cooler so they will send more juice.

If instocks does their rigs. Then you will receive more dairy pallets damn those instocks people After they leave scan all in research and how many do you see put down 100.
 
My store goes through Market Pantry 2% like nothing, we sell at least 20 cases a day in just 2%. Milk vendor said he could only give me 18 for Thursday to Monday..... Needless to say we ran out of milk within the same day of delivery. In before endless rage from guest over the the weekend lmao happy im off this weekend.

General question how many PA's does everyone's store have?
Click to expand...
we are an A + store,
right now we have 4 PAs, one is leaving for VML, that will leave us with 3 PAs and 2 openings for a total of 5 PAs if we ever get 5 at one time that would be fantastic.
our pfresh trucks are on an average of 10 to 12 pallets 4 days a week.
 
Our store is A volume, and we have 2 PA's. We do have the CTL plus an additional 4 TM's in consumables though, and they all just kinda pitch in.

I am the only PA at my store. We do have a CTL who has two shifts a week over there.

We have two or three regular market dayside people, and a few regular people who push Pfresh truck.

We typically get 1-2 frozen, 1-2 dairy, 1-2 produce, 1 meat, and the 1 banana/ambient each truck, 3 days a week.

We're an A-volume.

Can your guys TLs still see sales report? I really want to know how I'm doing.

We are close to this. Ctl, one or two pas depending on retention, three or four other tms to fill in the hours. We only had one pa for the first seven years we were open although we were allowed to have two...

A Volume. Two PAs and a CTL.
Six additional market TMs and of those six:
1. only works during semester breaks and this past winter worked mostly in electronics
2. has incredibly limited availability due to school
3. works sporadic mid-day shifts and closes once in a blue moon
4. they decided to pull this TM into a completely different work center
5. itching to leave market
 
A Volume
We had two PA's (I was one), but now since I was allowed to escape to signing they are not filling my position as apparently we are only supposed to have one (Insane, I know). So now we have just 1 PA,
 
Just a quick warning for a lot of you bigger stores:

I'm in a ST and they're really shifting dairy around with the upcoming transition and it's likely I won't have enough shelves to accommodate the set. Make sure you're looking at the transitions early and with scrutiny!
 
Don't know what volume store we are (I heard D at one point but I don't think that's right ), but we have 3 PAs and I'm one. Usually when one leaves another person takes their spot fairly quickly - usually within a week or two of the old one leaving.
