He does work hard when he's on the salesfloor and he definitely spends more time on the floor than my old SD. He may spend a couple of hours on the floor a day and if it's his weekend rotation he spends the whole weekend on the floor/supporting front end. But he works his 8-10 hour shifts then...

Basically the title. BTC is peak for my store, which means increased freight and a lot of new team members. On top of that one of my fellow GM TLs has covid and another is on vacation, plus our specialty ETL just quit so my ETL has been spending more time in specialty. This means sometimes I'm...

They're supposed to drive around the outside of the building, make sure red pin lock is on the trailer, no doors ajar/immediate safety concerns. Also supposed to walk the perimeter of the inside of the building and make sure there are no safety concerns before they clock in. I've been threatened...

When I first started running trucks my GM ETL had just quit and my SD got promoted so I just had ETL-HR, ETL-SS and ETL-SE. When I asked ETL-HR about perimeter pay and why I wasn't getting it she told me only my direct ETL could code me for perimeter pay and that I needed to stop submitting 15...

You sound like where I was a year ago. SD got promoted to DSD, my ETL quit and most of my fellow GM team leads either quit or got promoted, a bunch of team members quit. It was rough. There were definitely times where I felt like I was one of the only leaders in the building that cared about the...

The stuff they're sending pallets and pallet of, sure it doesn't matter. But one of my TMs used to be a TL and still has access to auditing on hands. She's fixed counts on stuff she noticed is really light (count downs) and it's made those aisles fuller and increased sales. We get a lot of...

Those departments are easy this time of year. I have the same areas of ownership except I don't have disney at my store and I also own pets, mini seasonal and plano. Biggest issue I have right now is sporting goods coming in heavy. At my store the aisles we were using for fan central we utilize...

I definitely would have pulled the TL to the side and explained how you felt about the situation. And asked them why they made that call and also let them know they were overstepping their bounds. If leaders are there to help they should be doing what you tell them, it's your process to run...

The funny thing is we've run unloads like that with an ETL throwing and two TLs on the line. Took almost 4 hours to get through 15k. Anyway I spoke with my SD about it and I was like "the sort stock guide says five on the line and a thrower" and showed him the trailer sort summary divided by...

I come in at 5:30 with the thrower to set up. Inbound comes in at 6 along with one flex TM, one open market and one dry grocery. Next GM TMs don't come in until 7 (chem/paper/personal care and infant hardlines - 2 TMs). Then I get another at 8:30 (HBA/OTC/haircare repack pusher) and the rest all...

Flats are what get filled early on mostly. Plastics is a big seller at our store (college town), especially around the beginning of the semester, and those flats fill up fast. We have two custom block flats for plastics and since a flat is full after like 6-8 boxes I pretty much constantly have...

We used to use metros to sort C/D repacks and office/stat/home repacks but did away with them because they would just accumulate trash and unworked freight (especially the kitchen/stat one)

A Agreed. I want to get this shit done faster so I can get to the stuff I actually have to do. I don't mind babysitting the inbound team to make sure they're not wasting time if it means it gets done fast. Vs a 4 hour unload for an average sized truck. Plus her solution to excessive talking on...

We're currently in a remodel so she took them to one of the CONEX's in the boneyard on the far side of the parking lot... we have like 5 extra vehicles now. She also dedicated some to cooler/freezer only and we're not allowed to use them for RDC trucks.

A few months ago my GM ETL was super short staffing our inbound team. We would have a thrower and 3 on the line for every unload. Obviously we struggled, because at our store inbound pushes flats as they fill up. So it would inevitably become 2 on the line and one thrower and unloads would take...

How many inbound team members do you typically have scheduled? and how many GM are scheduled early with them to help push the truck?

Our backroom is 1400 square feet, believe it's one of the smallest in the company. I can fit the stacker through p2 side but if i want to come down p1 I have to move literally every uboat out of the way. Same in our bulk aisle, I can only fit the stacker by moving a bunch of vehicles.

The funny thing is there was one day when we were really backed up and needed all of inbound to push. One of my ETLs threw, the other was on the line with me. It took two hours to get through half of a 2000 piece truck while the inbound team pushed. My inbound team could have gotten all of that...

We have 1 unloader and 3 sorters most days. After about 30 minutes the flats start to get full and have to break one off to push so ends up being 1 throwing and 2 on the line for most of the unload. Get an extra sorter on double days. Reasoning is even with this schedule inbound is overscheduled...

yeah all my departments are comping 20-30% this year, but we're getting less hours this year than we were this time last year. Even though we overpost we usually end up green by the end of the month because of the amount of call outs we get. We also can't retain talent because they're...
