Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

Is it on promo next month? Or is that to support one week worth of sales? Ugh.

I know my guys complained about the same things. We normally make temp locations on a green rack if we have to.

Yoplait and Chobani are on sale this week but that certainly doesn't account for the ridiculous amount we keep getting. Temp location on a green rack is what will have to happen tomorrow.
 
Please get your organics under control, Target. I can't get organic berries in. Organic potatoes look like shit. Organic wet rack items come with 30 pounds of ice. It's a swamp in my cooler EVERY FUCKING DAY. There's no need for that much ice. Seriously.
 
Dear FDC: stop sending us eggs. 3 massive pallets in our dairy cooler that havent gone down since November. Trying to make them dirt cheap through tpc but just gonna end up donating them Monday.
 
Is there a way to know how many pallets a store will receive in the next delivery or next few deliveries? I think we had 10 pallets last Fri, 8 last Sat and then a whopping 22 last Sun. First time we had that many came. The last one took us by surprise. I still remember my coworkers' face (there were 2 scheduled for overnight and then 2 for 5am) when they told me about it. Then this week, we're still trying to work on all those pallets with cut hours. Our coolers are full. There were only 3 schedule last Mon, the 2 TLs for Market and me. I was pulled since Mon to help our C&S team.
 
For my FDC truck the day before the delivery we get a redwire open the attachment and search for your store number it is broken down by by dry fresh produce frozen. We use to have a truck 3 days a week that was about 1 1/2 yrs ago now we get it 4 days a week. Cause sAturdays trucks were 18 pallets, we split that into 2 delivery days sat and sun. So on Tuesday we get 10 pallets, Thursday we get 14 pallets, Saturday 10 pallets and Sunday 12 pallets. That is an average for a total of 46 pallets a week.

Mysupport's answer for this was to qmos it, tpcing it somehow just tells the system to send more because omg it is selling so fast!!!
Yeah that kinda pissed us off but it is what we did. My support and donate a ton of it for out dated.

They're fucking morons for not having a system to detect tpc'd sales.

Yeah I had an argument with a TL about me TPCing all of bakery to 25%. I said that's the only way it sells. He said that it was too much and that C&S would send way too much to replace it. I told him that it wouldn't sell and we'd lose way too much money QMOSing it out if it wasn't TPC'd.

Eventually it just stopped getting researched because the BrTL got tired of pulling the stuff.

My market TL ordered metro racks, except they're about half the width of a normal one. They're so useful. Every truck I put all the bakery on it and leave it in the dry room. Every truck day I deep-zone and research the outs/high-sellers.

dunno how I'll handle ordering salads tbh.
 
Dear HQ: Please revise market super or pfresh:

Yogurt and veggie juices down to 4 ft max! YES 4FT MAX! Unless you have REAL yogurt which is not a "diet" food! Real yogurt has FAT! FAT ! FAT! YUMMM!
I will go to Whole foods or some place and buy real FAT LOADED YOGURT! Also just go private label on the yogurts. SB and/or MP.

More variety of fresh fruit and veg (NO! I did NOT say anything about organic!)

Bakery, change the method of delivery and process for stores with out in house bakeries - Stores with a bakery will bake bread(s), donuts, cakes and then send to stores
in their district. Yes new logistical process, but it can be done! Sort of a central bakery concept, but instead of frozen, its fresh. I do NOT purchase frozen bread, other
than to make pizza breads or bread pudding. Those MP baguettes and demi baguetts make great pizzas. I want FRESH, NEVER FROZEN. Same with the donuts, etc..


Milk - Enough with the nut juice! Almonds do NOT LACTATE! It is NOT MILK! Again, 4ft max of nut juice be it almond, soy or any other whack a doodle juice. The rest
should be REAL MILK from animals that lactate! WHOLE 100% fat loaded milk, you can have a couple inches of that white water stuff. I am even good with adding
goat milk etc.

Meat - More varites! Like more prime cuts, LAMB, VEAL, pre made burgers

Pizzas - BRING BACK the take and bake pizzas to the stores you took it from !!!!!! Them things FLY OUT THE DOOR!!!! BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!! ALTMS.

Cereal (Dry MKT) - Unless its different at Supers v. my store, BRING BACK the BAGGED MALT O MEAL cereals!!! ALL that MoM makes! Can the name brand
stuff! I am not buying it, never will. Just MP or MoM, please. Colossal Crunch! (not the berry one! blech!)

Lunchables - DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE! Can them! Most disgusting vile things!

In general, quit trying to compete with whackadoodles looking for health nut stuff! I may shop at Whole Foods when I can, but it is NOT for anything
related to "healthy!" They have prime meats that even the local regional chains dont, they have REAL WHOLE FAT YOGURT, they have baked goods like a
maple walnut roll the size of an SUV to die for! All the hippie dippie stuff I just ignore. Oh and BULK food! Like granola and candy! Yes Granola, it too
is NOT a "health" food REAL GRANOLA is loaded with sugar! Plus when mixed with my FULL FAT yogurt or WHOLE REAL MILK! Ain't no diet/healthy in that!

IF your FDC, RWT on WB can give you a break down by DEPARTMENT for a BOX count. Select the DCI and then select load summary it will break down the box count per department. I use this to plan the FDC team. The raw box count is just an idea of how many beyond the regular FDC Team I add. With the breakdown by department then I can determine how many attack each area.

The spreadsheet will give you a ETA within the 2 hour window they get, and the BOX count per area, which is just the sum of the above by produce, dairy, frozen, and the misc dry pepperoni box that insists on coming cold, but gets put out in dry. :rolleyes: Like the velvetta that we ruin by sending it on GM trucks and sticking it in the coolers... oh well.. I dislike that gunk anyway. :) ;) To be honest the spreadsheet is just annoying to get to and use, since it was moved to Redwire, and the Load Summary to me is more useful in planning.

I have no idea if RWT and Load Summary, applies to the wholesaler(s) ie: C&S or others.
