Think I know what store you’re referring to lol. It’ll be done by Friday. You’ll be then taking trucks, filling the store for a month, then open to the public. Planorama is extremely fun. If we’re talking about the same store, it’s going very well.

Obviously I don't think Target is terrible or I wouldn't be with Target nor will I be I'm the role I'm in. This is what I'll say about Target. Districts matter, leadership matters, and store culture matters most. If your district is big on desired hours like mine you can expect to be within 20%...

Hate this update

No truck days is never something I’ve experience at my volume. Slowest part of the year is 10 to 11 trucks for us. From a staffing stand point my preferred single days is the weekends. There is no realistic way there can be a company wide standard for trucks.

100%. It’s the game of “Theory” from HQ vs “Practical” from stores.

We always separate Backroom. 100 hours per trailer is for push and unload. I will always schedule 7 Backroom TMs no matter what. Hence where 1700+ comes from. It depends on your store. My district we found that consistently scheduling X amount of Backroom for inbound works best. Push & unload is...

I’m not disputing that it sometimes feels like there aren’t enough resources. That definitely happens. What I’m saying is I never met a SD that does that on purpose. Usually it’s just terrible payroll given. It’s an uphill battle from the start when they still drop Imbound hours like 600hrs...

It’s incredibly frustrating. What is most annoying is that I personally feel like the solution is simple. There should be a 5 min buffer between im on my way and I’m here. Same feature like the digital lines for things like console releases etc. Someone should be able to code that up in 24hrs.

BF for us was busy but not like years ago. Digital on the other hand…stressful!!! 7k+ daily goals in SFS 6k+ daily goals in OPU All the way into cyber week. On top of that, the amount of freight coming in 😂. Been crazy but got through it.

I don’t know one peer that would rather suffer by cutting payroll, not replacing key shifts, or underposting. It’s a myth. Truth is we are told by DSDs to spend the payroll but don’t miss the month. If you leave too much payroll on the table it’s a sign that you’re understaffed and can cause...

Correct

Doesn’t matter, it’ll all be MIRs anyway 😉

Wasn’t much to write about. Things that was of interest: * A&A future as outlined earlier in this thread. Was cool to see them tackling some of the concerns. However, this will take a long time to get going. * AP team going after making repeated offenders and threats to staff a bigger issue...

^ This I usually pop in and comment on these threads but I think the above quote outlines things well. I would just remind you that Leaders have departments of focus but at the end of the day we’re leaders of the building so if you see another TL or ETL you feel more comfortable voicing your...

Still do the schedule. MyTime is cool for a start but that’s about it. At least in my opinion.

My store is 7 days. Delivery every day.

I can see your point and also see that the company is incredibly serious about desired hours/stabilization. Seems like they’re trying to make strives here. I usually prepare my team for the down months. I let them know the times in which it’s best for you to enjoy vacations etc. I think...

I always set early for every major transition. BTS, Halloween, Trim, etc always early. We go truck to shelf. The impact on fulfillment is too much when your merch is in pallets beamed up. Wish the company realized that they should space out set dates and freight flow weeks accordingly.

July payroll is horrible and this is expected. I’ll take this over last year where payroll was nonexistent from January to basically September. It was the worst I’ve ever seen. My issue is the idea that this is to save for payroll when BTS starts. However, people start shopping heavy for BTS in...

95% for us 🥴 OT: You should be adjusting SFQ and SFC when you see discrepancies. Capacity should reflect what can fit there, Quantity should reflect what is actually there, and as stated above Backroom Quantity should be factored in. I’m not sure why you’re being told not to update...
