    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    ^^ Yeah, I think that was just built recently and is one of the first ones to have that capability. I'd be totes jelly if I still worked at Spot. ;)

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    Correction: SOME FCD's have the pic lables and barcodes. I believe only the newer ones were built with that capacity. My old store is serviced out of Iowa and we have to BCODE all of our FDC product.

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    We are a 3-truck-week store. I guess it's more like 8-9 most days, but yeah, that's what we order. And we don't really QMOS out a ton. We're only a C volume, but our pFresh does a large amount of business. We used to order WAY more (like, 14 cases for our larger order) but I cut that down and...

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    Once, we got a SuperT's order of bananas, as well as our own. For reference, we are a C Volume that orders between 8-10 cases of bananas an order. I think there were over 20 boxes on the SuperT's pallet alone, haha. Needless to say, we ended up donating a TON of bananas that week!

    Archived SO- Help on a notice?

    If those were training hours you were assigned, you should be able to get out of them easily (since why train you when you're leaving?) Everything else, it is at the discretion of your HR. It also depends on WHEN you turn your notice in. For instance, in my store, if you turned in your notice...

    Archived Scheduling?

    THIS EXPLAINS SO FREAKIN' MUCH. Seriously. I'm still fuming over the fact that instocks gets scheduled under Consumables ALL THE TIME.

    Archived favorite way to mess with shoplifters?

    Best way to mess with shoplifters, is to catch them red-handed and then watch them try and talk their way out of it.

    That's not the problem; I'm just going to be out of the country for a very long time.

    Archived Remember when pallets on the floor were frowned upon?

    Yeah, but after opening hours? That's awful. We always have a line of pallets and vehicles starting at the fitting room and going towards electronics during truck unload, but they put it back before the store opens.

    Yikes, I hope mine isn't a mailed check. I won't be in any position to be able to cash it.

    Archived Market Pantry prices higher than name brand?

    I've seen it before, but never by that much. Usually it's because the name brand has lowered it's price a bit and the MP brand hasn't caught up yet. I've only seen a difference of ten cents or less, though; never a whole dollar! I would have scanned the actual item; it's possible the MP version...

    Archived Dress Code Clarifications

    I believe it's just for pharmacy, because it would be easy to sneak out meds in all that extra fabric and in cargo pants pockets.

    Archived Discount no longer works on giftcards?

    You still get the 5% redcard discount, but you don't need a TM to get that. Doesn't take as much off, but if it's for stuff you buy already like Starbucks and iTunes, it's still a bit of a perk. But yeah, Spot used to get a lot more of my money when I could get 10% off on the gift cards.

    Archived Things I am thankful we do not carry... and things I wish we did..

    "BAAAAAA BAAAAAAM BAAAAAAM BAAAAAAAAAM I've been livin' for the weekend, but no not anymore..." ;) Regarding liquor, we sell the works, but I'm not positive that the TM discount works on it. I rang a TM out for some Redds the other day, and I remember doing a double take because it didn't...

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    Our problem is not over-stocking. It used to be, but we made some modifications to our table (added baskets, capacity stickers, yelled at TM's, etc). so it's rare to see things overstocked. No, the problem is that the backstock is not getting backstocked in the freezer...kind of hard to fill the...

    Yikes. Can't say I'd be coming into work if I were a TM there. No job is worth your potential health and life.

    Archived What exactly is "Consumables?"

    At my store, it's whatever the heck HR decides to schedule it under. It's SUPPOSED to be for just the G block, but instocks gets a lot of our hours. :( It sucks.

    I have a firm policy to never, ever answer the walkie while on the Great White Throne. Nothing is such an emergency that it can't wait for you to finish your business at step outside. I don't get paid enough to answer work calls while on the john, lol. I can always tell when people answer the...

    Is this Real Life? (A Market vent thread)

    You sound like you need more PA's...an A volume store should not have just one PA. We're a new B, and we've had two since we got our remodel (and we were a C for the longest time). At an A, you should have at least two, maybe even three full time PA's. That would take a lot of the pFresh...
