Was this a regularly scheduled hourly caf or a manual caf? Regularly scheduled cafs that drop each hour pull stuff that is 70% empty or more. Manual cafs pull stuff that is only 30% empty. So there is a big difference between the two in the amount of stuff that comes out.
If that was an automatically dropped hourly caf, I haven't heard of those at 6pm. Cafs normally stop at 5, although I know that super high volume stores also have 7pm cafs.
Doesn't matter how long store is open. Things get sold, items get pulled. If zero items were sold from like 4:45-5:45 then the 6, oclock would be barely nothing. If Most product is sold during that period it can be biggest.How can that much shit need to go out when the store will be open for 4 more hours?

My store is only A+ and we have 7s. 6:00 is when the price changes drop, or if it's Friday or Saturday, backroom helps push if they're caught up on backstock. We rarely drop manual CAFs outside of Black Thursday/Friday.
