Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

We're A+ volume with a SrCTL and one PA. It wouldn't be bad if we had good market team members, but the ones we have don't do shit. I feel bad for the PA because he's the one who has to deal with all the problems in market.

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.

I doubt you're D volume if you have that many PAs.

Maybe PAs in name alone or they might not have a dedicated CTL.

Some dumbass ETL got it in their head that I have to do dry market pulls. Like i don't have enough to go

I transferred stores and was shocked to find out that my new store's PAs push and zone dry. I have no clue how I would've been able to do those when I was a PA.
 
There are PAs for pfresh and PAs for dry in my store begore. Right now we have 3 PAs that I know of and they're all in pfresh.
 
No. They were clear on their positions. Two of the former PAs, now TLs, are my friends. One became SB TL and the one from dry became BR TL.

I'm pretty sure sales reports are now located under my performance. Same place we get survey results. Choose financial instead of guest surveys. I will double check tomorrow when I'm at the store.
 
My PA and myself both zone and push dry market. One day I had a mid until 8:30 and it was amazing. Now the times of market mids are gone until December. ;-;

We only zone pfresh and half of dry market, the other half plus seasonal is done by a hardlines team member.

I was off for 5 days. The other PA abrubtly went on LOA. She was the opener all week. I guess they couldn't cover her shifts plus there was nobody scheduled in market 2:30-7 all week. It took me over 4 1/2 hrs to cull produce and meat on the floor and in the BR. I found meat from the 5th! And so much moldy produce. I am just blown away at how neglected the dept was.

Ours has always been that way. Opener called out? Put off c&s and do that instead. Closer called out? Push those cold pulls before cull...

Take pictures and show it to your ETL stl I always show them the 3 cans of Qmos and all the outs on the salesfloor.

I'm sure your milk was out too.
 
my CTL needs to learn to fucking ORDER PROPERLY

Yes, the system says we need 1 casepack of iceberg lettuce. This is also the same system that says we have things in stock when we don't. Please stop actually following what the system says to order because the system is wrong.

This is how we end up with 4 casepacks of iceberg lettuce, 2 casepacks of celery (we go through 2 a week, we can easily order 1 on a later date and I **know** she'll order more), and 2 bags of white and red onions (we go through maybe one a week).

stg.

also she didn't push the second milk pallet. Which is annoying because I try to cram the milk coolers as full as possible.

Same with my CTL. Last week he over ordered white and red onions. We ended up with 3 bags of each and 3 cases of romaine lettuce.

I have almost two thousand pics on my sd card from my loser pa and ctl. Keeping them in case it ever comes up as a "why we don't promote you" for poor attitude.

We used to have a dedicated hardlines that just did dry market and the cafs for dry. Now they expect my PAs and I to somehow get it all done when we don't even have the time to get all our cleaning tasks done.

Sounds like my store a lot, ever since I've been hired all the Consumables TM's have been thrown into the CAFs by 12:00pm everyday. When you come in during the morning and only have 4 hours before cafs start AND you have C&S, sales planners, 30min huddles, and backup call responses because sales floor sucks. YEAAAAAAAAAAH. Also we have no CTL currently as they merged CTL to Hardlines TL. Leaving only one of us over in Market during the morning and evening.
 
Someone please explain why my store only got the ambient pallet and single produce pallet today. No dairy no meat no frozen.

Not complaining much, it'll be nice to sell through what we have and we're decent on meat but still. Very weird

Did the truck paperwork show that's all you were supposed to get?
