I notice lots of empty shelves at my store. I've noticed in my area, there is some product that's been out for months. I know right now is when everything is reset and things are phased out but how does the process work?
Does in stocks order what we need? Or does it just come based on sales?
At my former job I not only ordered the product but stocked it. I knew full well how much of something we should be receiving as well as what we were getting at is automatically ordered.
It was as simple as, scan the barcode, see the number total in the store as well as how much back stock, and enter in how many I needed, single or cases.
Granted it was just a gas station. So it was clearly a smaller store. But the difference was, when there was a product that was out of stock at the distribution center, an email was sent to us, and we all knew. Not just the leads. I was a lead myself.
What is Target planning on doing to fix this problem? Sometimes I feel like working in corporate. It's literally 5 miles away from me...But do I really want to at this point in the game.
