MEGATHREAD Signing Tips, Tricks and Quips (along with howls of despair)

[BKop16]

We started setting. Haven't had a single price accuracy label. Checked the reprinted strips and nothing changed from the originals. Total waste making stores delay and sit on 30+ pallets in the back.

So what is know about the POG guided process? How will it be different?

 

[Alexbegt]

PFresh? What's a support gird/grid???

Yeah PFresh - The Support Grid is the the grid used for like the cheese pushers - It's metal bars instead holding on pushers instead of regular shelves - The term target likes to use is 'SpaceGrid' Spacegrid II: Produce Display Tray | Retail Space Solutions - https://retailspacesolutions.com/spacegrid-ii/

We also started setting early. And haven’t had any price accuracy labels print. But when you print all labels, there are a ton of prices that don’t match

Yep. I set nine aisles early and for the Target owned brands the labels were definitely an issue. I don’t understand why they didn’t populate with the PA batch. I had to reprint all labels and manually verify/switch out the discrepancies.

I noticed a lot of our new storage pogs for like storage organization, closet storage, the cube RE storage is full of clearance still. The label strips that came in are also set at the clearance price.

There’s been no new planogram and now the entire aisle is basically empty, guessing target messed up something there

Same. It’s bizarre. I had my ETL walk it with me to see what I am talking about.

My store is also a part of the guided pog process..i'm dreading it. We also started to set early. My SD didnt have a problem with doing that.

I had a clearance item go salvage, and then carry forward into the next set. Took HQ a couple of weeks to adjust the pricing back to RRP.

There was communication I saw today that some items inadvertently went Clearance and due to legal reasons have to go full cycle before being reinstated. Also I wasn’t able to fully use the new process today as I had already tied my aisle before the update took place so every task was auto-completed.

 

[BKop16]

What I'm curious about is how the process in the app includes pulls and backstocking but the transition guide specifically stated that a GM TM should support with that since it's not part of the times in Set Workload. Something doesn't add up.

 

[RunForACallBox]

So today was my first time actually using it. I will admit the first use was awful, learning how each screen was. My second, third and fourth time using it I’m kind of liking it. My likes are: I don’t have to leave the Planogram Set screen to print labels/signs. Can see a bit more info like revision percent change, I haven’t seen that in years except on a paper Planogram and I don’t use those anymore. The beeps and screens when re-merching items to tell if they are on the current Planogram (2 beeps), a different Planogram (1 beep) marking down again (3 beeps), or strictly backstock (1 beep) because there are no Planogram for that item. Not having to leave the Set screen to backstock and/or pull items. Fixing SFC & SFQs immediately. And having a second chance to pull/backstock after correcting said SFC & Qs.

When can we get quicker access to adjacency map? It's long overdue.

 

[Alexbegt]

Anyone else get communication to ensure you keep all extra fixtures sent during this transition and label the pallet as F&B Transition hold for future date?

I noticed they were sending a lot more of the space grids then we needed so I had expected some sort of communication like this

The POG guided pilot adds this, mind you, you still have to log in through Workbench. But a link directly to it would be amazing.

 

[BKop16]

Hey POG leaders there is communication about additional payroll for the fresh set because enough wasn't given (thanks POG Guided work perhaps?) Looks like 10 or 20 hours depending on the store. Fight for your payroll!

Alright has anyone done the Nintendo set already? That had us blitz it today. We stopped storage for an hour to blitz set the aisle but my question is


What’s going on with the space on the base? Whats AX2877

That's just a regular locking video game shelf for the bottom/base deck. Theres not enough switch 2 games yet so they left it empty.

Thank you so much. We were questioned about it I guess and I told my lead that we set it right, I just didn’t know why it was empty lol

 

[RunForACallBox]

Def left ours empty too.

 

[Alexbegt]

I love that the week of 7/20 there is new POGS for lunch meat, lunch snacks and the SBHD sections… should I be worried already

With guided pog you’ll need it less not more. The pogs will tie themselves to the correct location.

I don’t think we got enough fixtures for the food reset…. Yet it seems like a bunch of them aren’t even needed since I only found meal solutions calling for the space grids.

Anyone else get all of these fixtures in instead of what the actual fixture list said? We got a bunch of cube cheese pushers in, yet I can’t find figure out where else they want them

Doing totals for this:

We got 22 cases of the Cheese Cube pushers, 22 large grids, 5 smaller grids, 11 cases of baffles, 8 cases of the flat shelves for the grids, and like 8 cases of another pusher

Not sure why they sent so much if POGs don’t even call for it 🤷‍♂️

Even with big changes to the map and like the recent storage and utilities transition? That would be pretty nice.
