Well, shit. I didn't get a fancy title but the leaders have basically decided that SFS is my area, I train newbies, and then the newbies come to me to ask me what they should do...does that mean I should just start calling myself "Captain?"

We ran out of a couple size boxes, and my TL asked, with attitude, if anyone had ordered supplies. I wanted so badly to respond with "isn't that your fucking job?" They keep switching around which TL is in charge of SFS, and none of them care about it or prioritize it. I've just started...

One seasonal I trained is doing pretty well. They ask questions, works pretty quickly, and seems capable of grasping how to do the job. They've also been trained in other areas, and seems to be doing a good job overall. Another one is suuuuper slow, can only find half a batch, and then when I...

That's how I see it too, but can you come to my store and explain this to my STL and ETLs?

We don't miss goals. We INF the shit out of anything we still can't find after the "goal time approaching" alert pops up. I've never been able to get a straight answer about which is "worse" - missing goal time or INFing - but our leadership seems to think it's missing the goal. I kinda feel...

Well, it's not as though we got any sort of training or guidance on it. I learned by playing the "let's see what happens!" game. :D The first time I had to pick two boxes of diapers and it wanted me to scan them into the same location as the bottle of baby lotion in one of the top...

The problem I'm running into with the few newbies I've trained on the new carts is that they get confused and think they've messed up if they accidentally scan something into the "wrong" subcart location. I keep telling them it's fine, and if parts of the same order are in multiple subcart...

So..."Prep." The only way I see this being anything other than a colossal waste of time is if during Q4 some minimally-trained TMs are tasked with just prepping carts before someone else packs them, though in my store's limited SFS space they'll probably just be in the way. Otherwise this is...

Every now and then when finishing one up, I notice there's another one in there that didn't alert, but we usually end up getting the alert for it...eventually. Sometimes 10-15 minutes after I've already picked it. That's gonna be fun if it's not fixed when goal time goes to 30 minutes. LOD...

Yeah, they've been calling them out at my store. Kind of a "fuck you," if you ask me. Instead of "thanks for staying to finish up your work," it's "get the hell out now."

No, I've noticed that too. It gives you the DPCI of the item it wants rather than the assortment DPCI, so you can't pick the entire carton. If you scan the assortment label in MyWork it should list the DPCIs of everything in the assortment, so you can find it that way.

We got the new epick app too, and...yeah. Keeps sending me all over the place. I finally just started skipping through the batch to pick everything in one area. Is anyone else having weird issues with backroom locations? As in - it'll send you to two or three locations where the item isn't...

Yes - good shoes and good insoles are a must! I'm a big fan of the Arm and Hammer work insoles (they're blue) that are thick memory foam. I like them a lot better than the gel ones.

It took me around four months to adjust, and even after a year I still get sore some days. Stretching helps a little. But you should eventually get to a point where you don't feel like your whole body is falling apart after a shift.

Same. Our Halloween stuff is up in the steel right now too, and none of it is set, so no way am I getting all the pallets down to try to dig through repacks looking for costumes or lawn decorations. INF was abysmal today.

It was fun when I was a kid. Now that I work there and have to overhear everyone on their phones use it like they came up with it and are super clever, I want to rage-punch everyone who says it that way.

Yeah, that's the more likely option. That's been happening all over the store. Stuff doesn't get done because there just aren't enough people to do it, but that's somehow the fault of the TMs for working too slowly, and not at all bad management. We've got an STL who to my knowledge has never...

I get REAL tired of the INF percentage being considered SFS's responsibility. I don't want praise for it when it's low. I don't want blame for it when it's high. If everything is where it's supposed to be, or at least in a reasonably easy to locate place in the back if it just came in on a...

Well, they do keep saying "this can't keep happening," but nobody seems to want to schedule more people to actually make sure it gets done. Part of the problem is that we've been getting more orders in throughout the day than we used to, so they see the number of DPCI's at the start of the day...

It's exactly the same at my store. I really wish the pick goal time hadn't gone away, because now SFS is even less important and I'm even less likely to get help. As long as we get everything "packed" on time, they don't seem to give a shit if it's actually in boxes, so they wait until the...
