This is one reason I so glad my store doesn't have music.

Are some of what you're seeing the shed exoskeletons? Saw a picture on the internet of what people are making out of them. I'm all for repurposing things others would discard, but ew, those creations looked creepy.

Lots of mosquitos in my state. Didn't know Alaska was warm enough for long enough to breed mosquitos, but I've since looked it up and learned otherwise. Those boogers adapt every which way they can.

Probably has a lot to do with who was where first and contracts or leases negotiated when a new business arrived. My store is next door to an Aldi and very close to a Meijer store. (Not a shared parking lot but within easy walking distance.) All three sell produce and fresh meat products.

Wish the chat bot in the "support" function was more helpful. The DC keeps sending me cases of a certain kind of Listerine. I have MANY cases back stocked and it's not eligible to be sent back because of the alcohol content. I did one My Support case already, confirming on hand count and...

I'm not in the zone but recently learned something new about a friend of many years. She's a self-professed "bug nerd" and traveled to the zone where both broods have emerged to revel in all the cicada-ness going on there. Happens that the university they both attended is in the zone, so they...

Yes. Although I was pleased to note that the sign at my store says "10 items or fewer." Which I guess reveals that I'm a grammar nerd who gets just a little irked every time I see a "10 items or less" at other places.

Years ago, one of the TLs at my store let slip something about a high negative score in a certain area that was directly attributable to that TL and that she couldn't understand what the problem was. Well. I didn't feel like I had a lot to lose (really disliked my TL at the time), so I took a...

My store never got those. Good thing, from what I've read about them.

I used to be able to do this, even with my OTC wacos, until my back room space was reconfigured to what corporate wants. That took away a bunch of wacos so the bottom shelves could be closed case, which rarely gets used for that purpose for OTC product. I still use the space because I can't...

Seems to be an issue for anything with more than one location. And of course whoever pushes the pulls done late in the day doesn't check for dual locations.

I've heard the same thing and would probably use one myself (I have small hands) but they're so glitchy that it's not worth the frustration.

No way would the area around the baler look like that at my store, ever, even during Q4 when we're getting more trucks than usual and have seasonal TMs who don't know how to do the repack bundles or how to crush the baler. We're not a high-volume store, get only 3 trucks a week now (although...

That's my understanding, after a TL told me about this yesterday. And this is why I refused to back out of a pull to audit a waco with the old way. My contention was that I wanted the error to show up on a report somewhere so awareness would be brought to the fact that errors were being made...

How long do you think that will last once it's seen how many empty spots there can be and how long they stay that way?

I heard from somewhere, probably here in another thread, that POG layout planning (or whatever the correct phrase is) had been brought back to an in-house operation because there had been so many problems with the India team. No idea if that's actually true, but if it is, that would explain...

Same. So if it's not really anonymous like they say it is, I didn't say anything that would be a surprise. Don't think anyone at corporate really cares what I think anyway.

Well. I'm looking forward to having TMs who make the mistakes being retrained. But as I think @jenna said, there's nothing that can be done to train the unwilling. We have some of those TMs at my store and they make me crazy. There's no accountability.

Street-dated olives? Sure, okay. What's next? Street-dated toothpaste? Gotta have something to take care of that garlicky olive breath. 🙄

We have a few comments from guest surveys posted in our break room, sort of a "yay for a great team" thing. Could hardly believe what one of them said, but after reading this comment, I guess it makes sense. A mom was pleased with the guest service she received when returning some Cat & Jack...
