Archived New Carts

[HLN13]

Has anyone else got them? I think we’re a test store so that might be why... but god does everyone hate them...

 

[TheBeastPMT]

My store is fine with them, I dont mind em

 

[Bosch]

What no pics? Are these the all plastic ones? Or is there newer one?

 

[Hazza43]

Do you mean the plastic ones of the slightly improved metal ones

They’re just so much louder and heavier and stuff falls through them...

 

[HLN13]

It’s the all metal ones. I don’t have a pic sadly..

There is a new one with grey metal,looks similar to the older metal ones

 

[NKG]

My new store has them. They are smaller. Ill try to get a picture.

 

[Kartman]

All metal???

 

[theissueoftissue]

All metal?! That must mean I don’t have to fix the shitty plastic ones that line up every week!

Well I will say the one I crushed with my truck a while ago there was no fixing it, they swept up what was left..

They told us almost a year ago that we would be getting new ones, but the ETA keeps getting pushed back. Apparently there was some defects that needed to be addressed. Last I heard, we'll get them at my store some time between now and the end of February.

Am I the only one feeling a little sad about losing the plastic carts? They were so quiet and just glided across the floor! I feel like the new carts were stolen from that place ending in mart and beginning with a W, and just painted red.

 

[notfit05]

What are you being told to do with the old ones ?

 

[CeeCee]

It doesn’t seem that long ago that we updated from metal carts to the plastic ones. I can’t imagine them getting swapped out again.

 

[pellinore]

We don't have the plastic ones......maybe Spot's got no idea what's going on.

 

[Kartman]

No way!

There is another store in my district with metal carts, we have plastic so asants

 

[pellinore]

Y ea, we went from one kind of metal carts to a different set....the biggest difference was that the second set is incredibly easy to push...no effort needed at all.

Just a little inside info. Your store should have “X” amount of carts. If you drop below a certain % out of 100% of your store’s carts (theft, unfixable damage) then the store will be sent replacements or the new model.

How does Spot find out this information you may be wondering? Your PMT does an annual audit in October/November and literally walks around counting them. Spot tacs an extra couple % on there because unless you do your count overnight, you’ll never find all of them.

Had your PMT known of this rating system then they might -accidentally- over look some in the parking lot or something.

I didn’t know there was a nation wide roll out of this model so my count was pretty good so I’m enjoying rebuilding plastic ones every week until who knows when...

 

[Bethy]

Any pics of the new metal carts yet?

 

[Fix It]

 

[Fix It]

I don’t think that’s the exact model but it’s very similar

 

[Bethy]

Oh no

 

[pinktea]

Those look like the old-old ones. We just got new plastic/metal ones and the metal is gray, not chrome...they're SUPER quiet and smooth. They feel a lot nicer than the all-plastic carts (our store skipped those entirely).
