Has anyone transitioned to this? It's terrible.
Yes, since April. It worked decently well until we got to Back to School.
I'll do my best, but my pulls aren't going to be perfectly organized. I don't think it's that difficult to do a bit of organizing once the pulls are ready for you. People at my store seem to want them organized perfectly. Meanwhile I'm just trying to make sure I get them out on time so I go down the aisles (in order) in the backroom and add to my cart that way because it's quicker. I don't care if chemicals aren't next to sporting goods on the floor. That said, once my pulls are all finished I sometimes try to organize them a bit depending on how heavy my workload is. Now, if I have literally 2 items of softlines I'm not going to waste a vehicle. I'm throw them on a hardlines pull, off to the side or something.
And at my store, hardlines does not do softlines. Just not happening. On a slow day if we get a box of diapers, maybe we will put it out if there is nothing else for softlines (Pfresh store, our diapers and such are with the cribs and car seats and softlines controls that area).
Backroom Day at my store works CAFs to the floor, so they don't have the option of not working softlines (but I'm not sure if they give folded stuff to the fitting room or not).
However, I will set salesplanners in infant hardlines, zone infant HL, etc. because it still impacts the store and I'd rather it be done right. (Heck, I'll map out the infants salesplanners and stuff cause I know it ain't getting done otherwise).
