    Archived Insane Truck Schedule?

    When I first started 2 years ago, we were doing ad and autofills every Sunday. The instocks TL was in charge of the ad team. We didn't have a truck this Sunday, but we're taking 2 doubles this week, one tomorrow, and one (just found out today) on Friday. I asked my ETL LOG if the trucks had...

    Archived The Sexual Tension Between You and That One Flow Team Member

    Last year, my Flow Team had 3 attractive female team members working at the same time. One was my best friend's girlfriend, the second was her best friend who now works Pharmacy, and the third was an amateur model. She modeled for her hometown's tourist board in Mexico and music promoters in our...

    Archived Seasonal "help"

    At least your guy is knocking over pallets. I was off this weekend and I heard one of our new guys knocked over a little girl when he turned to push an item in P-Fresh. A veteran flow TM immediately apologized to the girl's mother and somehow the guest didn't complain to Guest Service or...

    Archived Flow team asking truck size bad?

    My Flow TL tells me as I walk in and the size of the FDC truck. For some reason the default arrival time of the FDC truck is always 6:15 am but it's arrived any time between 2am and 7pm.

    Archived 4th quarter start? Small trucks?

    We were originally supposed to get 8 trucks this week, a double on Monday, but the DC added a ninth one for earlier today. We went from 4am start to a 2am start for the doubles, and some of the vet TMS like myself at 1:30. Monday came and we were at the door at 1:30 with no answer til an...

    Archived Flow Rant (Really Long)

    The tubs and smart carts were from one day of Plano endcap reset, but it'd been three to five days since the freezer was 100% clean with Bakery backstocked. I believe I'd been off on the previous Frozen order and the guy who alternates with me didn't backstock. About a month ago we received an...

    Archived Flow Rant (Really Long)

    This was from an endcap reset. My store alternates Dairy/Produce and Frozen orders 6 days a week. I'd finished backstocking the Dairy/Produce order and my TL had me clean up this mess.

    Archived The Big & Dandy Backroom thread!

    We had the ticketing problem for some time and for about a month the FDC sent case packs without labels while they figured a solution. Myself and another flow TM would print barcodes for backstock while working on the order. The labels finally started coming in dark about a week ago. We get our...

    Archived The Tips of Totally Effective Target Team Members

    My store also has it in the produce cooler. My new ETL LOG had all the raw meat locations deleted to cut the time spent backstocking and pulling meat. There were plans to do the same with produce but it hasn't been implemented yet.

    Archived Whose job is it anyways?

    In August, I returned from vacation to find out that I was one of two Flow Team trainers. I was backstocking in the freezer and the HR TM opened the door and asked if I was available for a picture later. I gave a perplexed look and lo and behold the guy who alternates FDC orders said it was for...

    Archived Taking stuff home

    I took home my TL's personal crown key before. I returned to the store a couple hours after my shift and gave it to the LOD.

    Archived The "Vent about all the crazy shit that happened during your shift" thread

    Our current BR TL was our Flow TL (who hired me) and Flow TL was the BR TL. Our former ETL-LOG was promoted to STL in another district and on the day he formally announced it early this year, he announced the leadership changes. Current Flow TL is definitely on top of things and is active in the...

    Archived The "Vent about all the crazy shit that happened during your shift" thread

    My ETL-LOG switched off with the BR TL and once again BR TL ran the flow process poorly. First off, BR TL had no breakout and didn't give me an assignment as I walked in at 4am. I made my way to the line and settled into push bays 3 and 4, waiting for team members to arrive. A 9yr Flow veteran...

    Archived The "Vent about all the crazy shit that happened during your shift" thread

    After what you said, I realize I have it pretty easy lately, we're usually one of the last stops, but even then the FDC truck usually arrives around 6am, while I start at 4am. The coolers and freezer are all near P/Fresh but lately sharing our backroom with ESFS I have to move vehicles and...

    Archived The "Vent about all the crazy shit that happened during your shift" thread

    This is my first post, I've lurked these forums for a couple of months and registered just to complain about today's P/Fresh order. I've been working in flow for 23 months and I've been working the P/Fresh orders for about 20 months. Our store gets an order 6 days a week and it alternates...
