Any other stores directed from the top down to fudge #s? No M-deleting, doing subt to fill the floor instead of research on items with backroom locations, things of that nature?
That's "Best Practice" at my store-
Fake tie sales plans that are not yet set
Cart well "fake filled" 2 rows of product only
Subt t to fill the floor
No M deletes
Changing start shift/ end shift (to make HR numbers)
Scheduling under other work centers that have more hours
batteries out of call boxes
If its GREEN on paper, its good enough is the new mantra
CAFs pulled on time but sitting overnight to be worked due to no sales floor
encouraging all of your friends to fill out surveys with glowing remarks
it goes on and on.
batteries out of call boxes? ...wow.
I thought we are supposed to let the replenishment system work for us. Why would you rather have more manuals than autofills and cafs? Or am I reading this wrong?
Yes at the no M-Delete thing. That came down directly from the DTL. Also dropping and pulling a crapload of manuals before the autofill drops so that it lowers the system pulls over manual pulls number to 30% or less. DTL said get system pulls below 30%, but was nonspecific as to how.
We're legit on the rest.

**** your DTL. Best practices are there for a reason. Id challenge him on it. Ask him if we dont follow BP policies, then that means you can do whatever the **** you want.
yea at our store there doing the same thing... instocks have been manually writing down a s**t load of DPCIs and gives us a list to pull and just "add it to the CAFs" without saying anything, and no research batches drop at all. so pretty much there is no point in having research batches or the clips at all.
also our receiving is super empty, we have a person who's specific job is to just destroy the bulk, and push as much as they can to the floor, create end caps and new locations. then they put any stragglers in the aisles of their specific fill group. the person who does it at my store is a beast at it, he will knock out like 20+
pallets in one shift, its kinda interesting too to see how much will actually go out and see how empty the floor really is, i guess in a way its a good thing, but our ETL is constantly just telling us to keep focusing on the bulk, and getting receiving as empty as possible.
our TL as well has been telling us not to M-delete, recently hes been telling us to LOCU the location if there is a ghost, and just add everything in the location to the CAFs or autofills, and hes super strict about it, he pretty much coached another TM who he caught M-deleting something.
Best practice isn't always the best way to do things. There are some good BP's, some bad BP's, some that are a waste of time, some that require needless work, etc.

You mean like not being able to drag a pallet onto the floor after the store is open....Thats fantastic when I have a whole pallet of water that needs to be set up on the bulk water endcap but I cant drag the pallet out there according to my LOD. It was like 9am on Sunday and nobody is ever in the store that early. Had to take like 60+ cases of our MP Water off the pallet and onto 2 flatbeds. Then push all of those out to the floor and stack them on the endcap. So much wasted time and alot more physical exertion than needed. I guess its a safety issue but its not like I would take that long. The endcap was cleared off and just needed to be filled.
Has anyone got wrote up for not faking #s? I know we had a few rebels refuse to cheat the system because it was morally wrong and not best practice and said if they ever got wrote up for doing so they would spill the beans to corporate.

Uhmm...you could have just taken the Crown and put the pallet on a flat, and pushed it out to the floor. Problem solved.
