Bigger endless trucks, tech is not to bad though but if they are understaffed do not be surprised if they have you helping stock infants or toys.

We have that Part Time Heroes sign setup too, makes me laugh every time I see it. Are we hiring firefighters or something....

Not sure how relevant it is to this but at my first store we switched to the bigger plastic carts years ago. At that time we got rid of the cart pusher machine and were told it did not fit the bigger carts. Luckily the full plastic carts are lighter and even a person that is not that strong...

With all the upper management in this company they do not have decent PR people? The whole response to this has been sad, I can see moving things in areas that have a lot of complaints. Now they are starting a whole new controversy by having stores send back merchandise, which will be talked...

I am pretty sure more training is going to drop into Workday over all this at some point.

Under this new system who has to pull priorities now?

Wow, 1600 piece truck should take around hour and a half with full team. Maybe 2 max if it is a messy truck ( pallets collapsing boxes to top of ceiling ) They are really picky about the unload times though I am surprised they let you take that long unless you only had 3 people. Sometimes a few...

Even with under-staffing it could be done if they sent decent trucks. I am not even talking about the multiple items being sent, we are getting clearance and salvage on our trucks. With profits down 90% they should fire a top manager in the logistics chain, Brian seems untouchable so I doubt he...

Yeah, starting to notice that too. Priorities are smaller but the backroom stays full. Had a smaller truck today and pulled some of the 141's and made some shelf space. We just had priorities start this past week. So far they only have us pulling priorities and not 141's so much. I think I will...

I was about to ask about "priority pulls" since I see few talking about it, maybe it has not rolled out to all stores yet. Personally it is nice since my store is way behind on 141's lately. The main question know one seems to have an answer for is what makes an item priority? It is not really...

Did not see OFO: 1for1's listed. On occasion someone is just scheduled for this.

Thing is with inflation the rest of retail is not doing great either. If they really realize stores are struggling with excess freight because we are finally getting things we should have got 3 or 4 months ago, they should not cut hours that much hopefully.

I remember that too, a long time ago.

Not sure were the company stands on the degree being that important now. I can say though over the years I have worked with ETLs that have a nice college degree but hardly any retail experience so yeah, I am going with the experience vote.

I can see guests using this just to get there drinks faster. Fast food and Restaurants have to get their Doordash, Ubereats, etc. orders together before they can do in-store orders. Hopefully Starbucks is lucky and they will get more hours to hire more people.
