I'm in that boat too. Once we started making sure all the counts on hot wheels were good and everything was on the floor, we would consistently sell a box by the next truck and receive another box. Trying to micromanage the supply and sticking it to the collectors coming in was just more hassle...

I used to use audit to backstock pallets of casepacks in a third of the time by prepping all the boxes onto empty shelves and then auditing them all in. Sad to see such a time-saving practice lost due to some shady nonsense done by other people

I always appreciated one for ones because it kept your backroom as empty as possible, and if you were the one pulling the same pulls every day, you could see what was selling consistently and maybe grab all of them for a sidecap or something.

Were those appointments not scheduled ahead of time though? I struggle to see how he would have missed so many in one week. Every time at the stores I've worked at someone had something like that come up, leadership has been more than willing to work with them IF they got with them ahead of...

That puts a lot of faith in inventory and logistical accuracy

I don't understand how that would work. Does it make them all zero? Or make them all at capacity?

If not this then at least metal recycle them...

I always liked OFO better because the time you would have spent pulling something forward at the end of the night zoning is just replaced with filling the empty spot instead. Same result but less work on the long run.

Just getting everyone used to the feeling right from the start

I ran my team in non-essentials exactly like this. I believed that the first line of defense when something was too much for a DBO was myself as the leader, and I kept everyone else in their own areas while I was the one assessing what was going on in the area with the TM. I ended up being...

Something that has helped me in the past is pretying things as early as possible. Even before the Monday two weeks before. I've seen that things tend to drop in the Friday before that at the latest. It helps catch some of the weird transition freight flow that ends up being three weeks early...

Sounds like the deactivation of the mispicks in my work should have waited until everyone could move on

Especially for mispicks in repacks that don't have their carton label. I used to have slime in toys come in repacks every three days that was supposed to be Dragon Scales ( listed on the truck manifest) but it was Mystic Mermaid in real life

I remember at one of the remodeled stores in my ar a that the specialty sales ETL directly oversaw Hearth and Hand. Maybe this is just a weird extension of that. This wouldn't make sense at my store. We have one specialty sales TL who's direct boss is the store director. I will say though...

So there's no way for me to pull things the day before and stage them to make it easier in the morning? Lame

I wish they didn't do this. A good looking clearance endcap does wonders when people come in for the new merchandise that's almost always featured in the ad and then also buy up the clearance. Extra sales for both new and old stuff!

I usually chat bot it, and then look up the truck manifest, print a barcode for the DPCI, and handle it like any other NOP/transition thing

There was one time my leader over essentials defected out a bunch of no location pharmacy and the corporate person in charge of Department-class (for protein bars I think) started investigating our receiver due to the amount of loss it created. All in all, please be careful.

This is going to suck during back to school when people order hundreds of folders

Long time presentation leader here. Modernization made keeping a dedicated presentation team for anything less than high volume near impossible due to hours and standards. Having one person float for half the time and then not get any hours the other half was not something that could be...
