I know I have had the ULV discussion and I am not trying to be a one upper, but I am in a store that is a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooow volume store. Like low low. I know that I've discussed closing with 3 TM's on the floor (electronics, market/Pfresh, and softlines/operator). Point being, we just found out that we are going to an 8 am flow process. We knew it was coming, but we were not expecting implementation until later this year. Honestly it sort of helps us. The last 2 weeks we have had only a few hours for softlines and hardlines coverage, so now we can use the flow team as sales floor coverage......which is exactly why corp made the move. 2 years ago we were 4 am, last year we went 6 am, and now 8. Wild. The company continues to self destruct. BTW, I'm in a fairly new store (opened in the last 6 years), so it's not like we are going to close anytime soon. We have had positive comps every year and the year we went Pfresh we had 16% comps. It's a profitable store and that is part of the problem, we continue to be productive and profitable despite having 0 payroll and HUGE changes in our processes. Unfortunately we pave the way for these changes because we are proof of concept.
