We stopped doing the wave about 2 years ago. Even if we wanted to right now we couldnt. The other day I think we either had 2 or 3 people working between hardlines and softlines and the operator lol, how are you going to wave zone the whole store with that. Now we just assign people blocks, so Jane you do Mens and Infants and John you do A block. Usually the LOD does C and D block which is all the domestics items, electornics does entertainment, toys, luggage, sporting goods, automotive and mini seasonal if they have time, and Pfresh does dry, coolers, freezers and the pfresh area. The only areas the hardlines closers ever really have to do is Pets, Cleaning Supplies, Pharmacy (Pharmacy does touch it up throughout the day too), HBA, Small Appliances, and then the office and art supplies. Those areas comprise A and B block and that is pretty much literally all they do for zone.
