Generally, they're pretty accurate. Our high performers can beat the time, and low performers can take upwards of 2-3x the goal time. The main department we see with bad goal times is H&H, and they give too much time. I understand why, it's a disaster of tape, plastic, styrofoam, etc. but our...

Oh, no, that's just for the unload. We have 2 TL's and an ETL at all times. ETL is usually meeting with closers, touching base with ETL's they don't usually crossover with that are LoD that day, etc. TL's drive the unload team, 1 runs vehicles off the line, 1 will help on the line, throwing if...

Trailers can range from 1200-1800'ish for our store, but we always take at least 2 (unless there's a visit), so generally on an "easy" night for us, we're taking ~2500-3500 cartons. We have 2 throwers, a facilitator, and 3-5 sorters. 1-2 runners (1 is always a TL) to keep the vehicles cleared...

Interesting, will bring this up and see if they've noticed the same here. Don't think that's ever been brought up as an issue, or they just thought it was common knowledge and didn't tell us.

We have to receive our FDCs. Your store is autoreceived?

Inbound TL here, most people in my department have been happy with the recent changes in MyDay, etc. My personal gripe, our TM's are never listed in the "Team" section of MyDay since we're split across multiple days I'm assuming. It would be nice to be able to pull that up if I lose my grid...

You literally count product in the back room and the floor. You get a nice meal, 2 15m breaks and lots of snacks on those breaks (at least in my district).

Yeah, you're showing us why she probably acted the way she did. You're not sounding jaded and stalkerish at all...

So, my regular shifts then. Nice to work 4 days and get 3 off and still hit 40 hrs.

There will always be complaining, even from people that left a job, have zero clue about how things are currently, and still haunt its forums years past relying on social media where no one would ever embellish their experience, and posting false information. People love to be miserable. That's...

No way in hell I'm quitting, my store is amazing. Terrible advice in general to give to a group of people as you have no idea what their store culture is like. Just because yours was terrible several years ago, doesn't mean it's still the same, or the same for everyone on this forum.

It has truly made a huge difference for us. Getting trucks done fast gives the team that much more time to push, backstock and move on to help other areas. Being a high volume store, we probably have the hours and number of TM's to give us that ability, but if any store has the ability to do...

Someone who keeps the boxes flowing down the line as the sorters remove the boxes. Keeping the line full ensures the sorters always have something to sort.

Nope, regular store, 110Mil+ a year. We took 5 trucks last week, started early at 7pm, finished at 1210'ish. It also depends how well the DC packs the trailers. If shit is stacked like they want to murder our throwers, it can take longer, but for most nights, an hour a truck is the norm. 2...
