THIS^I keep getting talked to when I don't tug the Uboat down the aisle with me. It's rather hard to do that when you have boxes that go here, there, and everywhere--this claim of efficient sorting is a complete lie in my store. I've talked about it elsewhere but nothing is getting sorted the way they want it to.
And if I happen to get a box that belongs in, say, A, while most of my items are in D, there's no way in hell I'm lugging that Uboat all the way to A. That only draws attention from all the guests I pass. It's not that I mind helping guests, it is that my managers/TLs/etc all want me to get my Uboat pushed quickly, and actively avoiding guests that are NOT in my "assigned" section is the only way to even halfway manage it.
You might ask, why not give the box to whoever is working in A?
That doesn't fly. TMs there almost never want to take such a box--if your hands are on it, you'll do it. Ask them and they get snappy. T'he one or two people who don't mind being given stuff are there so rarely now I just don't even bother looking for someone to ask.
Pretty much this is the same at the store I am at. ASANTS! So why can't corporate get that through their heads. It works for some stores and definitely not for others. I can't believe that they expect everyone to be trained to do everything.
The TM's pushing the UBoats are not always the same team members each truck so again, while this looks good on paper, it's definitely not reality. System is not perfect so why does corporate think this will work in the long run?
