Anyone have any F & B side cap stories ?

Not really a great example but I have this from a store that was piloting them last year

 

[Far from newbie]

Stores had them last year ? Ours were delivered this week. Having difficulty getting them installed. If not set, that’s 12 pogs not tied on TWT for this week, sigh.

Ooo, we actually just got those in today...my pmt was building them. All are up but without headers and product. They look nice

How many ? Sides of freezers only or in aisles ? Did you decide where or try to see the black box on the adjacency ?

I am starting to think I could save some time if If i just break down the signing pallet next to the baler and toss the signing that no one is doing in their dept's. Also wondering who is going to toss the outdated signing out in the fixture room. Mmm who would've thunk this would happen ? Lol

So that what those boxes of sidecap headers are for.

My ETL got an email regarding signing hours last week and said their going to work on giving me 10-12 hours dedicated to signing in the next week or two. I won't believe it till I see it.

You're supposed to receive 10-12 weekly under the Presentation workcenter for non-ISM signing and fixture room maintaining

yeah, SUPPOSED to. I can pretty much guarantee that didn't happen for most stores.

At the very least, it's not visible so if you're under Presentation, you end up setting pogs, not doing singing.

They can add a keyword to the presentation hours like ism or sgn, if they care enough to make sure you are able to actually do signing.

Took two and a half hours to hang everything and dispose of the old stuff.

I did not do varying heights lmao

I will eventually get to putting them up. I built them last week, but never had the time to hang them. The only signing day I had this week was 5hrs spent trying to fix all the BTS mistakes. Though I doubt it matters, no leaders even notice the overheads anyway. Could have nothing there for weeks before anything gets mentioned to me.

Oh, I know they can shift tag it as signing, but they won't. My SD basically told me to for it in where I can.

My plan is to wait until it gets called out that we don't have it up. I don't currently have 2+ hours to deal it anyway.

Oh hey the Halloween VMG dropped.

Pre-tie schedule says set date of 9/8 though. 🤔

I quit

I have the potential for like 3 job interviews. I'm praying one pans out so I leave before the set.

Well at least you have potential. All my leads have dried up so I'm stuck here for the time being. Oh well, survived this long...

this is what my store does. i get 16 hours a week for signing that are keyworded as signing under presentation, and it's usually my last two shifts of the week. the rest of the time i'm either presentation or gm.

Only signing hours I've gotten in the last 4 months were last week.

I'm guessing half the signing we get I throw away. Today, I threw away any signing from 7-7 or before. I don't even bother opening it anymore. If anyone asks, I just say, it's been two weeks, why wasn't it done? Seems to quell any further comments.

I think 24 sides (front and back) and 12 metal bins for each aisle (front and back). My Pfresh section has just 2 attached to my 4ft rear endcap

FYI for anyone being told otherwise

"non-pog ism" so basically just overheads/front end signing since everything else has a spot on the floor. The only time I ever see signing worked is when somebody is throwing it away straight from the backroom to make room for the newest stuff.

My SD just doesn't care. He says it's calculated into the pog sets. Great, excuse me while I throw away money into the compactor.

How do these people have college degrees but can't understand written words. My dog could fo better than most managers at Target.
