    Are your stores meeting sales goals so far this year?

    We are on pace for the same amount as last year, low 80m. The difference is essentials/F&B are comping very high while home/AA/hardlines are pulling us down. Look at recent inflation and guest shopping trends. Spot will quickly adjust their strategy to focus on what the consumer demand is...

    Dating policy question

    Go for it! TM dating TM in same department is fine. Just when at work stay focused on work and keep personal life separated once on the clock. Enjoy the relationship, I have seen spot bring many people together.

    Pricing and Presentation BTS2022

    We are approved to set early at the stores discretion, basically if you have the product or not. We have sold through 95% of ODL several weeks ago after the DC pushed to clear out inventory. During those weeks we rotated pallets almost daily of items on sale to clear excess inventory from...

    Entertainment Dcode?

    We went from 6000 entertainment dcode to 1000 very quickly. Schedule someone to do IRs and dont pull them for fulfillment, easy as that. Give them SFS boxes with pre taped boxes to cookie cut it as much as possible. Whoever says its reverse logistics job to do it, try checking in...

    Price Accuracy

    whole problem with price accuracy is just schedule 60 hours a week for GM/food, drop all price change on Sunday at 12.01a and have two team members do it. Problem solved. Dropping constant price change throughout the week doesn't fit every stores workload schedule because we are all not the...

    Freight Flow

    Hello, Two weeks ago pushed about 1/4-1/2 truck worth of essentials and food backstock from DC. Last week pushed 1/4-1/2 truck of dom/dec/kit backstock from DC. This week expecting 1/4-1/2 truck of toy/sports backstock from DC. Are you all in the same boat as I am in? It wasn't product...

    verifying infs

    I use to oversee fulfillment and this is what worked best for me. I had the fulfillment experts work tons of stray, freight, sort repacks for DBOs all over the store in the downtime. I used them to push the backroom to stay clean. I explained by the store being clean, things are easier to...

    O/N to 4am transition

    Hi all, I was recently told our store would switch back to 4a in wk3 in January 2022. We were 4a before this when modernization hit but switched back to "temporary O/N" during covid in February 2020. Safe to say a lot of original team members before mod switched back to O/N for our store and...

    Saw this on Greenfield

    The tab in MPM is at the bottom and called "Trailers." In my opinion not very useful information as it only shows BOL, trailer #, receive time, and total cartons/repacks. What I do is open greenfield on the MyDevice and pull trailer details that way as soon as I get in. Quickly share any...

    Back to school transition

    We might be sitting on some leftover freight from last year but nothing that wasn't carried forward and sold through, maybe some paper. I am sure we are still to get the push of the "other stuff" but it still seems light compared to other years. We get anywhere from 100-200 cartons of la croix...

    Answered Need More WACOs

    Make sure to partner with either your food/gm ETL to order more WACOs. From what I recall lead time was about 10-14 days after ordering back in late April/early May. Our DSD actually brought a full pallet over in his pickup from another store to help when we made the transition to caseless in...

    Back to school transition

    Hi all, Has anyone else been getting pushed extreme low amounts of BTS freight so far even with the set this next week? For the last few weeks we have gotten anywhere from 20-60 cases of pre-tied casestock along with 30-60 cases for office/stationery. For #6 repacks we have only averaged 8-10...
