Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

[Produce Queen]

@qmosqueen have you gotten a reply to your mysupport about the 8# oranges yet?
They answered mine today saying ordering is not turned off, they would contact the FDC to send some and that I should continue to order them. 😵
My reply was pretty pointed: Can't order them. Option does not show up.

We got a bunch of orange peppers that are sold by weight, even though we sell by the each. A TM tried to create a barcode to sell them with, but it wouldn't accept it because it was sold by weight or something. Now they just sit in a basket in the produce cooler until they get thrown away, I guess.

Just use dpci maintenance to add the upc of the item to the dpci of the ones you do sell.

Also, if I'm not mistaken dairy and meat are switching sides

Why would they switch sides?

Agree. I hope I'm wrong but I saw it on the planogram on my CTL's desk.

It's a trick to get plano to FIFO, secret is my store doesn't care and won't even look at dates sadly.

Ya right now in my freezer we have 2 pallets and 2 full tubs of ALL new product. The freezer is apparently setting the 2nd week of may at my store...so thats still...what...2 1/2 weeks or so before they even get to it...which means tons of flexing by the market team...just more hours cut into us..horrray

We got 5 pallets, flexed what we could. Challenging since stuff is swapping so much. Probably had 3/4 of a pallet of cases come back, and 5 tri-levels. My team is awesome, we finished everything PLUS backstock. Helped there was no gm truck today.

 

[HearMeRawr3]

Dumb question but how do you PTM? I have been with target for 6 years and have never been thought how to PTM

It's an art form. Lol. As far as the actual product: discontinued ncf of the mpg aisle. Making it look nice is the talent. 😉

Yes. We already set all the freezers that we could. Unfortunately meatless/single serve have merge issues so they can't set until May 2. We didn't have any super huge moves though besides that.

My BRTL would just toss shit.

Some dumb fuck didn't do the order on Sunday so my STL did emergency order.

How does emergency order work does it go department by department or what

 

[oath2order]

Never mind it no work

 

[signingminion]

Checked my adjacency...doesn't look like my meat and dairy are swapping. Could be because i have an extra back aisle of coolers.

If the shoe fits...i had one of those. Even my old man I'd never call that. There's useless then there's past useless...

The lack of hours for market is making prep for resets and inventory so much more difficult. Several days a week we have someone in market for four hours total, and yet they wonder why nothing is done. :/ Corporate either needs to allow more hours or to give us magic wands to get everything done...

Can someone tell me how to load a monarch gun? Sorry, none in the pfresh team knows. I think I got locked out of workbench bec I kept typing "date gun".

From another thread:
yes, it is on the top right of the price label "SL xx". SL stands for "Shelf Life". All the bakery and some meat come in frozen, they can stay frozen for like forever and still be good. Once the items are put on the shelf it needs an expiration date on them, cause they go bad, depending on how they where made, some last longer than other. We need this expiration date on them so we know when to qmos them. If you do not put a date on them they will get qmosd right away. Most of the breakfast and bread items have a short date of 3, 5 or 7 days, so don't over fill thes as they will have to be qmosd sooner. The cookies and cakes tend to have longer dates like 30, 60, 140, 156 or I've even seen on about 180 days. For some strange reason the apple and pumpkin pies only have a shelf life of 5 days. The only meat we currently have are some breakfast links (jimmy dean), some Archer Farms hot dog links. At our store we currently do not have any deli items.

Don't even get me started on how to load those "Monarch" expiration guns... you need to be a rocket scientists to do this.
This is the one we use at our store: http://www.monarch.averydennison.com/products/documents/IPSDocuments/Monarch Model 1110 Labeler_08.pdf

here are the instructions on How to load: http://www.monarch.averydennison.com/support/documents/1000oi_de.pdf

and do NOT forget those ADJUSTMENT instructions this is to get the dates to appear in order. Some flow TM don't care if the date looks like "13 11-29-". PLEASE just adjust the gun so the year does not show up first, it is that simple. I guess they don't have 2 small coins to use, lol.

don't open that little door on the gun, unless you want to change the ink, dumb a$$

Hope this helps everyone get those "Monarch" guns loaded and printed correctly.
Thanks

Oh they're not on here

So I was a PA when I had to go Overnight to switch PFresh to the new PFab set, which was rediculous...

Now I am Signing Spec, and I get to go overnight to switch it back to exactly the way it was before, but with what seems Vastly lower hours...

Lol, this is rediculous....

Luckily we can go overnight, because not only do we get to deal with this, but we will also be in the middle of a remodel...

(And I get to do signing for both).

FML.

Thanks Hardlinesmaster & qmosqueen!! I will save a copy of this.

Funny thing happened regarding this gun. I was looking in WB for the instructions and keep getting the gun policy pages. Then I got locked out of WB. Later, while I was working on Mclane, 3 policemen, in full uniform came shopping in my aisle. I was like, "Am I in trouble?" I asked my HR and they said no and helped me fix my login. Hehe.

I got nothing on WB. I had forgot how to load a gun. I didn't want to search here at my store..

Sometimes you just have to order a new one, I have spares stashed in my desk and each new one comes with a tool to run through to clear any stuck labels.
