Archived Zoning Speed...

[Tessa120]

Well that's because they are two different things. One has an end goal, a standard of purpose, the other is what I do to flat surfaces in my home.

Edit: And a public place should not look like my home.

At my store they would like the zone to be kept to 20 - 30 minutes for DBO's but honestly some times it takes me an hour. They dont really care though, as long as everything looks good.

What are your stores expectations for zoning speed? How fast do they expect you to finish any given area?

We start zoning at night about an hour before we close. Then when we stock, get trucks, zone as we go through the day.

Supposedly 1 hour lol for every department!

It is not possible to achieve a perfect zone every day - we just dont have the time or the manpower.

And I feel like zoning is something management doesn't care about--until they do. Until it becomes a disaster.

I and others I know that talk about this were bothered by this long before we worked retail. And it's a mental irritant in other places too. I strongly exaggerate on my resume and say I'm detail oriented but the truth is I see the flaws in the patterns of workplace practices, just like everyone else does, but I take the time to investigate the flaw instead of ignoring it, and nearly always it's something that has gone wrong and needs fixing.

People see, people notice, people are irritated by oddities and flaws in patterning. And that's why I can't see how a "quick" zone can be done. It's either done to completion or it's not a zone at all, just a few collections in a sea of chaos.

People might notice, but the purpose of the zone is NOT to be perfect, it is to be acceptable to your leader. What's acceptable is the 5 minute a valley zone. I don't have payroll for a perfect zone and no one expects a perfect zone. You spend less time zoning the fuller the store is, so we spend our time filling.

Until they walk your zone and point out all the minor things you missed!

"LOD! I'm ready for you to walk!"

Damn straight. I just make it a point to fix those things for the next few weeks until they fixate on something else.

If punctuation and capitalization are so bad that it slows down reading speed while trying to understand it, then it should be fixed to be easy to read. Easy to read will get you more helpful responses.

I’m glad I’m not the grammar police anymore. That was part of my job before Spot, more or less.

It's part of being civilized.

Some people don't understand that.
