My small, neighborhood-based credit union, which I've really liked for quite a few years, was recently acquired by a large, non-neighborhood-based credit union. And I'm not happy about it. I've already received a letter sent to all, I assume, the members of the small C.U. about a mistake made...

Maybe it's just the first few POGs I've done with the Personal Care transitions & revisions, but the label strips seem to be a lot better in that the product spacing is more realistic. Product is fitting very nicely, with the indicated number of facings. And just getting label strips is great...

Got started with setting new OTC end caps and one of them is so completely ridiculous. It's all Up and Up allergy meds, which should be fine - several different types, different size boxes, for adults and children. So why oh why, are the top three shelves the same two medications in the same...

Looking ahead to try and figure out a good time for taking some time off, I was checking into when my end caps expire and when aisles come up for revision or transition. OTC end caps were last set December 18 (or thereabouts) and expire February 5 and the aisles are mostly due the week of March...

Sorta hoping there's someone lurking here who has influence on how POGs are designed. Doing the Allergy transition a few weeks ago got me thinking about it - why do I need to have 10 facings (that's right, 10) of the same medicine, same size package? And that's for the Up & Up equivalents to...

After working on so many POGs just lately and noticing how goofy they can be, I'm wondering how they're figured out. OTC uses a lot of those self-pusher contraptions and when I was setting yesterday, I had a couple of places in one POG were I set three facings instead of the two indicated on the...

Whose brilliant idea is it to dump all the personal care transitions/revisions (80+ hours) plus all the sales planners (another 8 hours maybe) in the same week? Yes, I know I can start working on them two weeks ahead, but really, couldn't the SPs have waited until the following week?

What do I do to stop receiving more of a certain product? I've done three, maybe four, chat bot sessions for a certain kind of mouthwash. I have over 100 bottles now that two more cases arrived today. Can't send it back to the DC because it contains alcohol. The always-helpful chat bot told me...

I've been through transition 2-3 times in my area (personal care and OTC) and I think I do a pretty good job of it. But I'm always looking for ways to improve. What are your best tips and tricks? What seemed like a great idea and really flopped (aka "avoid this like the plague!")? How do you...

Is there a listing I can generate that will tell me all the NOP product I have in the back room? Sometimes, we get stuff in a repack that we don't carry and if it's not the DBO doing that day's push, it might not be recognized as such. It gets back stocked and forgotten. I've been finding some...

Am I imagining things or is clearance going to salvage faster than it used to? Seems like it's marked 30% off for a week, goes to 50% for a couple of days, and then, bang! Off to salvage it goes. Some stuff didn't even have time to go to 50%. We have guests who shop those clearance end caps...

Why does the DC send stuff that's already gone salvage? It doesn't happen often, but I've received 3 different products just lately. Sometimes, it's product that we did carry but no longer do. Sometimes, it's product that another store in the area carries but we don't, and the pick label is...

Lately, I've really been missing the trash cages. It was so easy to just toss my cardboard in one of those, have a bag loosely tied at one side to put plastic in. Keeping it all contained on my u-boat works, sort of, but it's not as easy.

Anyone else notice that the shelf label strips are becoming even more misaligned with how product fits on shelves? Doing ad set this morning, I was struck by how "off" some of them are. In some cases, it's just ridiculous how things are apparently supposed to fit. Sometimes, it's incredibly...

There's a new store opening in my area some time next year - closer to where I live and closer to my other job. When would y'all suggest talking to HR about transferring? I don't want to jump the gun, but I don't want to miss out either.

Along the lines of the guests we love to hate, what about the ones who are actually kind or helpful or otherwise quite pleasant? I'll start: I overheard two guests talking about an area that POG had recently reset, saying how great it looked and someone or several someones did a really...
