We got 93% on ours. Didn't know the post Christmas goal was the low 90% range.
You got lucky ours was %98 expected..

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?

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 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.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.

I was missing roughly the same as last week as well. Expected went down like 7000 though it didn't really help.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.
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.
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 an stl who acknowledges the fact instocks is important. We had around 120 hours for instocks.You actually had time to actually PTM? We are given about 70hrs for the entire week.
