Were going to scan RDC truck starting in a few weeks for toys, grocery, snacks and Seasonal and separate cases to backstock.

FDC will start a similar process in October creating u-boats of push and backstock.

where did you see this information?
 
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.
 
So we've done both these things my thought on balloons is best of luck to whomever has to hang the ceiling corral for them and sucks to be you for whomever has to regularly get all the runaway balloons off the ceiling. And for those of you with an already small fixture room take a wild guess where the helium tanks are probably going.
 
When I worked at CVS we had pre filled helium balloons all I can say is pain in the a$$!!!!! Who would be in charge of this? Front end? GM? Speciality sales?

Sales floor Party Supplies.
But wouldn't be surprised it would end up to Front End. And worked by Service Desk or Cart Attendant.


Rare but I have seen some card shop/flower places host a balloon kiosk machine. Select from like 10 ballons, Machine blows up and seals ballons. Little to no management by the store.


Can't wait for the chaotic kids to let go of their ballons in store and TMs have to rescue them. Or hooliganes popping the ballons.

So short dated salads will come out with the expiration date about to expire right ?? Lol
That’s why we don’t backstock produce meat or milk.

The fuck it will! 😡 Absolutely not. I'm still bitter about them taking space inside the fixture room for the ISM pallet stuff to go after sorting instead of letting us keep bulk rack space. It's a nightmare some weeks and I feel like damn magician getting it to fit in there.

I doubt ours is going in the fixture room. I know a space that would meet all the requirements (4-8 ft heavy duty racking, exterior wall, away from heat sources, not a high traffic area, no required storage above it) for but we've been told for forever that it'll be for SFS when we get it. But that's been 9 years now we've been "supposed to get SFS soon", not that I'm complaining.
