Ya Market is always a huge percentage of sales even though the Margins are really low. It always makes me laugh when they expect so much out of Market but slowly they keep dropping support and expect us to do more and more and more.
I honestly dont know how anyone cleans in their market section. If you are routinely being able to do the monthly cleaning you must have full support of your store, never have to backup or help C+S push and your backroom helps you out a ton
I've found for some of it, it is actually easier to order replacements rather than clean things.
My shelves are pretty dirty and nasty. Under the fan and platinng we had milk/juice spill down and spread out over like 6 ...4 foot sections. To clean just 1 section took me forever one day because it was thick and coated on and almost impossible to remove in a timely manner. Had to unscrew and turn off the fan and get under the actual shelving where the product is. Still havent finished it. Been months....
Dont know when im supposed to get to it.
Push out ALL morning pulls from 6:30 and 7:30 batches
Complete SDA + QMOS
Deep cull + QMOS
Huddle at 8 plus working Huddle then break
LOD Sales Walk
Fill Milk which apparently is invisible in the backroom to all but me. Came in today and found out it wasnt pushed at all yesterday. Guess who got to push out a whole flatbed of it today..this guy. Also fill eggs while doing this. On Tuesday and Friday we have our milk deliveries and it is routinely 150-200 gallons of Milk to push out to the opposite side of the store. We also have to take the milk from the pallets and put them on flats so its not prepped or anything to work out we have to form our own push. Whats even better is when there is inevitably a spill and you have to clean it up either on the shelves on the floor or one of the gallons on the pallet. Happens 90% of the time and its always so much fun!!!
Backstock all of the morning pulls because I guess backroom is "too busy" or something to do it, ever.
Actually break down my cardboard and put it in the bailer. Not just leave full cartons stacked on top of another in a tub for the closing Market TM to take care of like one of my fellow PAs does.
Do reshop + fill baskets since half the time it will sit empty for half the day unless I do it.
Backup cashier and help answer call boxes and guest questions. More than half of which are not even market related.
Meet with Vendors about upcoming POGs, Survey, and whatever signing or labeling issues that might be occuring. Once a month I set all the wine Sidecaps, ECs, etc.
Receive C+S truck and stage in appropriate area. We are usually the first or second stop so it takes a long freaking time to unload the truck, especially when they have pallets sideways and on both sides. Nothing more frustrating than having your freezer be on the right side and most of your other product on the left.....
Work out C+S M,W,F. Usually have to help out from 10-2 or so on each of those days. Its just expected that I have to work out the truck in order to be done on time even if we ask for more help they never give it to us. Now that it is on flow days its gotten amazingly bad. People coming back late from Lunch not even getting started until after 11 and then only being scheduled til 2 and taking a break in there as well. C+S also BCODES EVERYTHING that we work out so when it comes to the back it allready has the label to backstock, backroom doesnt even have to do it..oh but wait...there is no actual backroom because we have a C+S person backstock all of it for them....AND...it is expected that person do the 12,1,2 pulls for all of Pfresh...must be nice to be backroom huh?
Do the order. I launched in Pfresh so I am still in the habit of actually checking everything in the backroom for dates and freshness and all that. It usually takes me a little longer but thats because I am a lot more thorough on ordering than everyone else and I make sure we arent out of product for days on end like we ALWAYS are when somebody else does the ordering
Thats just the normal stuff that happens on a daily basis for the most part. That doesnt include
Freshness Friday in which I have to QMOS the 1-2 cart full of product.
Having to prep for visits which we had 3 out of the last 4 fridays...go us
Having to zone paper
Having to cover electronics breaks
and a bunch of other things I cant remmber
