Rfid scan

Mine today was about 84%. ETLs were upset, but I expected it. We are a high theft store.

Also Bosch, I feel your pain. Your backroom looks similar to mine, or at least what I inherited a few months ago. It's why I'm so stressed! And I totally feel the STL/DTL not giving a shit and just asking, 'Why isn't it back stocked??" I could give you 20 reasons but they will just be seen as excuses...

Well plano was hell bent on setting mini seasonal - ok that is your next set. But could you actually fill the side caps you set yesterday? Or maybe let your set slide a day and help push all the Christmas shit still in the backroom? Cause you and the SRTL who was plano have been running the PTM process for this 4th quarter. Running is a term I use very very loosely. Today I found an entire tub of One Spot Christmas crap along with a bunch of 0ther random seasonal shit. Walking the back room for RFID I found all kinds of Christmas stuff for all departments back there that should have been out on the floor already. WTF? Did my store forget that all that shit is now clearance and heading for salvage and doing it fast?

What fucking reality am I working in? Or do we just not care anymore?

Ha! Sounds like we work at the same store. Well, except no one is running the PTM process at my store.

All that stuff is probably Christmas PLU. I don't think it gets pulled unless seasonal batches are dropped, which, I believe, is more of a Logistics responsibilitiy. Either way, it's a shame it's still in the back because it follows the same markdown schedule as wrapping paper, and that has been 70% for a couple days now. It will all fly off the shelves at this point.
 
I got 100.5 but that's because I did it last week when we weren't supposed too. Last week I got a 93
 
Ours didn't go well either... not sure the percentage but we were way off with the counts. Here's hoping next week will be better.

Yeah it looked like disaster, we called in help got it almost right. Then overnight happened and we had it nice for two days then their wheels came off again. They canceled trucks over Christmas and they couldn't even stay caught up. We are back to those pictures again. They are pulling new pog batches overnight but leaving price change, and auto's in the system.

They burned some of the seasonal batches cause they had so much floating but they never cleared the floating ones so while its all sitting at %70 off we don't know if it will hit %90 so it has a chance at making the floor.. Yesterday I had a 1/2hr to fuck around and I walked a couple aisles in the back and pulled a tub of seasonal home décor and got a TM to just shove it out. We have the space just put it anywhere the price point is right..

The post mortem on this year won't be pretty. The two TL's who wanted this as their show have pissed off everyone and failed to keep do the basic things to get this 4th quarter done.
 
Checked out our zeroed report. It was a lot of winter wear, a group of men's basics and children's accessories. A lot of onies and twoies in RTW. All adds up though.

I took charge of Christmas ptms like I do with all other ptms. I had everything out of the back half a week before Christmas, which is later than usual. But we had 60% more freight this year than last. Made sure it looked nice and pretty. Had to condense it down for pog last week so they can start the new set.
 
Ours failed today. Sled issues. The My Device was fine. The sled stopped scanning halfway through and wouldn't accept the other sled as a transfer. Managed to change the batteries out and get the sled working again but about 15K short when the scanner on the sled went again. Over 5 hours of scanning and ETL-LOG decided to ditch the scan and My Support it. I hate RFID. -_-
 
We were told it is our problem when we lock up equipment and overnight steals it so we have nothing to use for the first hour of the day. When I left we were 15,000 short. And who knows where they are going to find them.

You actually had time to actually PTM? We are given about 70hrs for the entire week.
 
My scan was just as bad as last week... about 89%. Missing about the same amount of product in the same departments. It's like they didn't adjust it from last week, the expected count even went up instead of down.

I was missing roughly the same as last week as well. Expected went down like 7000 though it didn't really help.
 
If all of us stores are having this problem shouldn't they investigate to see why? I noted that some of the women's packaged underwear is slipping through without epc codes and I know some have said towels are slipping through without them. We simply don't have the payroll right now to go through all these departments to tag things. Mine said we were expected to have over 4K bras... maybe I'm crazy but I don't think our small intimates department would fit 4000 bras. The scanner found all but about 1K of them.... I keep wondering if these numbers they send us are even accurate.

For us it was panties and bedding. The panties either counted wrong or just stolen over a thousand pairs missing and bedding I have a feeling stuff that was sold or stuck in a container that overnight just jammed crap in when it showed up. Either way I know it wasn't going to make number. How can you when you have to wait over an hour and a half to just charge the damn MyDevice to even start your scan.

But again as I was told we need to do something to not have these mistakes again.. Umm how can I prevent other teams from stealing equipment locked in the HR office with a note on it "RFID do not take"? I have to figure that out.. Cause having it stolen is our fault not the fault of the team stealing it. Lovely.

This is why all stores should be allotted charging cables and batteries. It really is an idiotic idea to go from equipment with changeable batteries to one that has to be plugged in for charging.

We have the cables but are not allowed to use them. Only the ETL who troubleshoots them before sending them for repair can it. We have to wait.. So I no longer care if we make numbers since no one else in the store does either.
 
Fun times last week, we submitted our scan as usual but we didn't appear on the scan completed report nor the scan not completed report. There is no % score on myPerformance for last week and our YTD % wasn't effected. Strange.
