We push from pallets on the floor, evenings. Sounds like change may come eventually.

Does this new model interact with or change the C&S push?

Our hanging backstock is jam-packed end-to-end and I have a crick in my neck from peering up at it looking for SFS picks. On the floor I can barely touch a rack or walk by it without something falling off.

Curious, what does typing 49 do during item search? (I'm used to doing that when processing collates for items that don't scan but I've never done it otherwise.)

I was picking for SFS and in HBA when a guest looked over at me, pointed to my PDA and cart and asked, "How can this be cost effective?" I just smiled and said "I'm sure it must be — Target has metrics for everything!" She said, "I'm fascinated by this because I teach retail logistics." I said...

On big boxes I don't fold down the long box flaps before taping so I can center and hang the tape 1/2 on 1/2 off one long box flap. Then I can push the flap down with tape attached to meet the other flap and smooth the tape. Keeps me from tangling the tape up and allows for centering the tape...

Very helpful, thanks!

I am interested in any variant of "yes we do" answers to this question, if there are any.

Got some packing experience so that's been very helpful. What exactly does the "Suspend" option do while picking a batch? When/why/how to use it?

Switching to packing sounds like the most feasible approach for my situation. I'll try to get some training. Thanks!

Normally I just plow through until the end of any Pick Batch I start, which makes me late for leaving almost every time I finish a shift helping SFS. Normally not a problem and more time = more money. However sooner or later I'm going to have a need for a hard stop. If a batch is working slow...

Haven't heard a peep about the new market at my store either.

Sometimes I get some extra hours in SFS (just picking batches so far). The training was the usual 30 seconds of click this click that, scan here scan there, off you go. I feel utterly defeated when I can't find something, eventually reach the end, try one more time and then have to click Item...

Newbie flow team member saying hello. Thank you for this site. It has been a godsend during these my early days. Unbelievably helpful. Spot should be *paying* for it, not trying to shut it down or moaning about it. In actual practice the concept of "training" appears to be a whimsical notion...
