Once we blitzed through all the OPUs this morning it was a pretty smooth day. All liabilities are out of the back, toys are being purged, and we actually have vehicles for the unload tomorrow.

Hopefully they kick the ODL release back since they've pushed back Christmas salvage.

Thank God Im off today.

We do the Q4 leader lunch/meals too but I can never imagine a SD doing it during an actual unload. Especially when OP references having non-truck days.

I think it's all during their normal time of year. Baby in March, toys in July, tech in fall. You're right about home. Fan central moves back to specialty with many stores getting a shop in bedding near style.

I think thats part of the plan. Pretty sure they're expanding collectibles/trading cards and moving the adult/party games (like Cards Against Humanity) into current entertainment.

Yes. Its called "consumer activation". The transition guide page talks about it with a link to a special projects page. Its designed to add space to rapidly growing categories (think wellness and health stuff in OTC and sporting goods). From what Ive picked up on it will be personal care...

Sorry but I already moved all my resources to SFS to deal with the 20 to 30% above plan + callouts.

Honestly your SD or HR Business Partner would be the best step. Any call to corporate would just get sent down to them anyway.

Isn't that the main idea behind shifting sfs into fewer stores?

I guess the stores were too busy unloading a 12am truck and picking 35000 sfs units to spend resources on that fight.

We probably had 5x as many people at store open compared to last year. Even if most of them didn't buy much it was still a win.

Theres plenty of clearance in the backroom. Just no payroll to get it out.

Programmer: Oh you wanted that to actually function and not just be blue text?

Its just GM TL who owns the process and whatever else they're responsible for.
