I think yesterday was the worst day I ever had in the backroom.
I walked in at 1:30 p.m. to CAFs rolling over and our pulls person calling in. We were out of carts so I was finding carts of backstock and throwing pulls on them and sending them on the line. The store was extremely busy and we easily shattered our sales goal by mid-late afternoon.
While pulling batteries for the CAFs, I injured my lower back. It became painful to walk & stand. I had to hang around the TSC for an hour to file an incident report and take a breather. The 5 pm CAFs drop during this time. They are 3 1/2 hours. The only other person in the backroom had to go on lunch so we now only have 1 person pulling the CAFs.
I get back to the backroom nearing 7 p.m., there are still CAFs in the gun. They roll over into the 7's. The 7PM CAFs get done a hair after 8. The CAFs rolled over every hour except noon.
I was the scheduled closer and despite my injured back, I tried to complete my shift as best I could. I left one hour early though. Thankfully the truck got canceled so I didn't have to set the line. I ended up pulling one POG, and doing cardboard the rest of the night, ignoring the 14 research and 17 EXFs sitting there. When I left, there were still about 14 pulls on the line.
On the bright side, all the Flex fulfillments I did were on time.
