Just wondering how long it takes you guys to zone a certain dept.
I was told last night to stop zoning toys and just pull everything forward. Ignore it if it was in the wrong spot/aisle. As long as it looked good pulled forward, I just needed to get it done. It nearly killed me to do that.
That said, the LOD kept bragging about how fast of a zoner I am...even though I haven't even had my first official hardlines shift (coming soon). I told her that's because I don't stand around talking. She had absolutely no response to that.
It depends on the area and if you're doing it correctly or not. Are you zoning to planogram, pulling overstock, making labels, filling endcaps, etc or are you just pulling the 1st item up to the diamond? Do you do a mixture of the two?

It depends on the department and sku-density. HBA takes forever because of how dense it is. Domestics is cake unless every ****ing blanket and sheet set is unwrapped. Then I curse a lot.
Shoes used to get so bad that it took a single closing TM 5 hours to get shoes done (this is zoning so that all the shoes on the floor are in the right spot, or close to it). This happened after the specialists were given the boot.
The way to fix shoes is to schedule a TM *in shoes* for the middle part of the day. They can zone, help guests, do shoe pulls, etc. Maybe that's just bringing back the shoe specialist without the pay raise...
I hate to say this but it also depend on the area, like if your located in a ghetto area, the people there tend to be messier and don't give a rats ass if tm have to pick up after them. On the other hand, if you go into a nice white area, everything seems untouched --;
I don't know man.
My store is in the deep, deep suburbs and what with all the soccer moms, uber-dudes and old folks with attitudes, we have more self entitled folks per square foot than you can imagine.
Our store gets destroyed, especially softlines.
I think people in general are pretty careless when they think someone is going to come along and clean up after them.
Really don't color has anything to do with it.
Or toys. Or really most soft lines departments.I live in a similar area. I have literally seen moms let their kids destroy the shoe dept. as an activity...smh
