Yeah not totally understanding the new unload process, but we were playing around with custom blocks over a year ago and turning them into 3-4 aisles to make them more manageable for one person. Uboats were never a problem for my team. We started using them throughout the store even before modernization. The crowded backrooms and the less space due to SFS expansion and A&A backroom reprofiling are things I never had to deal with. In my experience, a lot of the success or failure comes down to how the store is allocating hours and scheduling. We played around with it for about 6 weeks before we found something that actually was working fairly consistently. But then after I left hours got slashed and I don't think they've really recovered since then. It's a shame bc that store was finally getting to a good place again and for sure would've been off the focus store list.Yeah, funny how with the passage of time we tend to forget the bad parts. Sorry, but I'm glad you "confessed" that you're not even at Spot anymore. I'd been thinking that either your store was perfect or you were delusional. I'm on the ground NOW - on the line with the new unload process, pushing product on the floor with the u-boats that don't hold my trash adequately, trying to maneuver in a crowded stock room because too many people leave their vehicles of back stock. Life with modernization is just peachy!
Just a side note: I also thought I've been pretty clear that I wasn't working for Target since earlier this year. My bad if that didn't come across. But having worked retail for the past decade I can say that the only worthwhile goal is to give guests a great shopping experience. Everything you do everyday should help you achieve that goal. If it doesn't, then we probably shouldn't be doing it.
