I was running consumables for a good while but being carrot dangled so long I ended up leaving for a grocery chain full time early mornings. Our stores turnover is pretty terrible so they let me change my availability to one night a week. If your serious enough and they like you they will try...
Had a corporate call to figure out why a particular grocery item was out of stock because the guest had found it for so cheap a few weeks before. Had to explain to the guy at corporate that items do become discontinued and clearance out for any reason and his response was “I don’t know why...
I always did it first thing into my closing shift, dump very hot soapy water and let sit for at least 20 minutes and use the tough britsle scubber to get some milk off, let water sit and repeat. Then mop up at the very end. Total Time scrubbing was about 20 minutes but all the water I’d let soak...
Yes there’s pog’s but for visual areas like clothing and the new decor flat the styles and schemes rotate every 4-6 weeks. One or two people to set, maintain, remerch and upsell is crucial. But of course that position has been cut back so much. This is coming from an ex-brand Tm.
Thank you, although I gave up and decided to clean and swap a spare rack we have, there is just so much caked in the plastic strip I couldn’t even loosen it . 😖
It’s been a while but how am I supposed to get the large plastic strip that holds the label strips on the milk racks for walk in coolers. It is straight up nasty but I’m having so much trouble getting it off.🤮
I didn’t mind all that much with the minimum being raised, but for my particular store there are no incentives, no guaranteed hours, no stability in scheduling, no accountability for new tm’s and no development. 🤷🏽♀️
Our Store doesn’t care all too much, I normally wear a grey tee with a buffalo plaid flannel in market . You don’t get too hot or too cold working pfresh and it doesn’t appear too dirty after working dry market.
Tried walking/athletic shoes developed plantar facialitis; now a days Converse or flat sneaker with good cushion. If the shoe feels worse than being on concrete they are no good in my eyes. Also add a 3/4 high arc insole even though I have flat feet but somehow still helps.
Drivers have told me we should not have more than two consecutive trucks with a backhaul (we get FDC every day). I’ve had some try to lie/complain/sneak their way into not taking pallets Quick call to sts and *presto* loaded the next delivery.
My STL the other day took our new Tm and “So I know you trained with soso on Tuesday and soso yesterday, that’s all the training you get.”
Just too much information to take in when one has to figure out basics of where product is on the sales floor. 😒
Similar situation at my store. We aren’t hiring anyone for A&A, electronics, beauty, or market unless they have prior experience, aren’t a minor and have open availability. The few people that do end up making it end up feeling they aren’t trained enough to do their jobs properly and it’s...
Process took about a month *realistically it could have been two weeks but we had a big reset in softlines so I held out.
Went from softlines brand —-> Mostly pricing and Instocks ( I was bounced around everywhere).
I knew nothing about instocks at the time but if the culture is good they will...
I see this behavior at my other job. Mainly because I work with a lot of young folk under 21.
They throw around obscene, racist, ignorant comments at each other like confetti and I’m surprised no one has been too offended amongst them. I’ve told them that they should be absolutely grateful that...
We flexed all of our transition as we got it in. Plano finished reseting all of freezer by last Thursday and helped push the new product we put on uboats that day since they didn’t have to pull much.
I didnt know I develop to heat/extreme cold until I started working in market.
If they are bad enough they will come back every morning for about 3-4 days; I just take Allegra or Benadryl and stick it out for and hour or two until it subsides. I personally get no releif from hydrocortisone...
