Does Target actually give extra hours to presentation for fixing capacity and on-hands? I know it's part of our roles but I don't see a difference in hours before the whole auditing thing. I've been in presentation for 15+ years. Now we can do it if it's bulky items but if we do the hot wheels aisle or cosmetics that takes a big chunk of our time away and it messes up our timing for sets. Thoughts?

In theory everything from set, pulls, push, ticketing clearance and adjusting counts is apart of the time...

Got 300 new pushers for energy and soda pogs but can’t use them on half of the items, the new pushers are too wide for the slim cans and only fit the standard size cans. You can only fit a max of 16 per section and some shelves have 20 plus facings of slim cans….

I recommend holding onto any pushers you can't use - Never know when they'll come in handy.

My store threw out all of the old pushers one day and then when we needed more for a department they went 🤷‍♂️

I read posts like this and it could have easily be something I posted 10 years ago.
It baffles me how they haven't got a better handle on this stuff.

Are these different pushers from what is used elsewhere in the store? Like not the Gen3 pushers? We haven't received our ISM pallet yet but the team is starting beverage tomorrow, want to give them a heads up if they are different.

They are different, they are the the same ones they sent for the candy reset a few months ago. They are a lot better and sturdier imo. They use the same exact rail system just a better and slightly wider pusher. I used the older gen 3 for the slim cans and the new ones for any standard size cans. They don’t seem to bow as much in the back when you fill them like the gen 3.

They’re smaller than the cereal pushers but bigger than the Gen 3.

Oh yeah I’ll hoard these for sure. They will get used I would never throw away pushers lol.

"In theory" is the relevant phrase here. There is never, just never, enough time to do the whole process. I count it as a triumph if I get everything other than back stock done. I'll adjust counts if what I pulled doesn't fit, but otherwise I don't check. There's just way too much with something like OTC.
