BALLOONS!

My opinion after thinking about it for a little while. Isn't helium like a super important dwindling resource? This decision is out of touch with consumer sentiment in my opinion. Will reflect negatively on Target as a brand
This is the right response

I haven't seen communication about scanning FDC trucks yet, but the writing is on the wall. They recently sent communication about making sure stores have lower and upper case shelves in their freezers and coolers for a process change, along with moving toward vendor casepacks (scannable barcodes on the boxes themselves) for FDC freight.

Scanning RDC trucks was brought up in communication a while ago (highlighting the option to do so, at least). I haven't seen anything that requires it yet, but it's definitely something DSDs have been pushing stores toward, especially for specific departments (toys being a big one come Q4). Still no backroom team to support backstocking black line freight off the line though. I wonder if that'll just be part of the Inbound team's workload going forward, using hours saved from GM, F&B, and Specialty not needing as many hours given they'll have less freight to push.

So this, scanning RDC trucks, and scanning FDC trucks all in one day of communication.
@BKop16 Does this have anything to do with Regular Trailer Unloading? Years ago, they used to do this: (Scan Every Single Item). If the item double beeped, you put a line through it marking it as backstock. Mind you they had an entire “team” for the process but yeah. Just curious.

Yes it's that. Maybe it's not company wide but our entire group is doing it. The FDC thing is in the October best practices update that went up on Monday.
