Archived Grocery transition

[jenna]

Idk about that. There is a legitimate reason to how product is placed based on the flow of traffic. Typically, why milk and eggs are in the back of stores. They use heat sensors and sales reports to how people navigate a store.

If it was to simply clean shelves, then to hell to them.

Sure, but I doubt they are watching the "flow of traffic" for something like alarm clocks. I have seen alarm clocks stay in one aisle, and just flip from one section to another. Hardly a hot ticket item.

@Circle9 hang in there! This is just another Target Tsunami that will eventually pass by. I feel your pain though.

 

[Signduck]

@Circle9 put transition communication as one of your quick links and take the time to read it your self. It doesn't necessarily give specifics on what is or isn't staying but it's look up able on online pog or they can contact their bosses. And I am signing. I'm supposed to get one of the pretty colored double sided copies.... Says so ON THE FRONT PAGE..... Never makes my mail box. I always print my own. I think I'm the only one who reads it anyway.

 

[STLinMaking]

That may not work in my store, how far the pallets stick out make the isle in my store super tight. Now two carts have to squeeze to pass that wouldn't be possible with this set up.

Bring on the Guest Incidents!

Bring on the Guest Incidents!

Overnight tries hard to make them happen. Seven box high stack of parchment paper on a top shelf..

 

[Noiinteam]

So as a flow tm I will need the wave to push water on top shelf? I'll be checking the back wall tomorrow morning!

CTL hasn't communicated with any vendors about this reset and she's never here during the day. Wheeeeee! This is so fun dealing with them all.

My life exactly this week!

It's crazy hard for me to find the time to even talk to our CTL let alone finding vendors to let them know of changes.

Pretty sure they are all supposed to be wooden pallets...why is MP water on a plastic pallet

Obviously, this is wrong on so many levels. Wood pallets should NOT be on the floor (nails and broken wood are hazards for guests, the same will ruin waxed floors). Plastic SKIDS are less likely to mar the floors.

A better solution would be to use plastic skids, turned sideways. Still likely just as unshoppable, up top, though. Or perhaps the square soda pallets.

Any other stores decide to use peg hooks instead of magna bars for the nuts?

I'm already taking bets on how long the peg board will hold up under all that weight.

Also the highest row had to go on the very top set of holes so I hope no one under 6' wanted those nuts.

STL wants us to switch to peg hooks.

What does magna bars look like? We used peg hooks

[WinterRose]

Ah, then no. We used magna bars instead of peg hooks. Sorry.

Thank you for the picture!

 

[oath2order]

Yeah the people at my store did NOT PUT THEM IN ALL THE WAY.

SO I HAD MAGNA BARS FALLING ON ME

 

[GlitterBerries]

I think Target thinks everyone is 6'2" with how high quite a few of the top shelves and pegs have been in our reset.

I'm 5'9" and I still have to stand and reach for that crap daily

You might want to read the merchandise update this week. They are specifically saying to use wooden pallets.

Thankfully, I don't. We didn't have to do our waterwall this way. Still, it makes you think how much of this is just computer generated POG vs. actual set and record ideas. Wonder what the REVs are going to look like?

 

[Signkitty]

No need to be sorry, it's what's called for on the pog and probably the safer option.

Those flimsy back borads arn't ment to hold that much weight.

The hole in the pegboard that held up some mirrors at my store would agree.

Helped with the HBA set on Monday. Filled a cart with outdates as far back as the opening of my store. It was mostly vitamins and ClearQuil. The people CVS sent to help our pharmacy were appalled.

 

[signingminion]

We used magna bars on trail mix. Ran out of label holders before we reset gum, so those got the softlines pegs with the 4ft sign holder that snaps on. So much sturdier, even if the pegs are only 9in.

Water pallets are supposed to be set on those plastic pallets. They appear to be the high weight ones like coke/pepsi use. We didn't get them.

I've taken down 2-4 carts of outdated stuff a night. Pretty even split between vendor and not. Lots of 2014 in the back of capri sun and candy.

 

[BlueSide]

They use heat sensors

No lol.

 

[SFSFun]

Our PMT was showing us pictures of what it's supposed to look like and the water was all on Walmart-blue pallets.

 

[RunForACallBox]

We switch everything to 9" heavy duty pegs. Nuts was already, gum was switch and jerky was switched.

 

[AmICrazy]

We had....5 or so full carts of expired product maybe more. Some vendor stuff but I would say the majority was not vendor

Our store was just as bad.
