What are you guys doing with the number 40 repacks?
What's in them?
The million dollars guests ask where we keep.
Theyre transition merch. We either work them out with the area or wrap until transition setsWhat are you guys doing with the number 40 repacks?
You apparently haven't been on the sales floor when old men are shopping.That made no sense
Yep, its all transition stuff. But it’s mixed! Toys, kitchen, home improvement all in the same repack.
You’re wrapping them? Ugh trapping is such a time suck. The time you save throwing it in the steel you pay back and then some digging through it since unlike in the old days, we don’t set overnight or 4am and you can’t drag the pallet out and bowl it out
Takes more time. Think of it this way, if you’re pushing, say, domestics. What’s faster to push, a pallet of domestics that goes anywhere you set that week, or batches that are specific to the aisle/pog?If you trapped them and then waited until the end of the set week to work them, wouldn't you be able to just work all of it out, no sorting, no digging? Or does that not work with how modernization has been implemented in your store?

The ideal way to deal with these repacks would be to have backroom backstock them. Oh wait... 😩I see your point. I guess I've never noticed one or the other to take that much longer. We've always just loosely sorted the repacks as we worked them, most recently- worked the bedding/curtains to location and then started a separate repack for soft kitchen and when the repack was full then walked it over to work out.
I don't know that there is any ideal way to deal with these repacks which is kind of a bummer.

It did to me. Asking if I can help them find something (while on the floor) or asking if they found everything (at checkout) frequently generates a reference to a hidden million dollars or Wonka's golden ticket.That made no sense
Good point for me to bring up to those at my store that want it trapped.Backstock it.
Or guests can order it, I can INF it, I can audit it out with zero fucks given, and you can get even more of it sent to you.

😩I audited it all to zero right in front of a hardlines TL.
Trapping transition is the company standard? I get INFing instead of digging for it but why would you deliberately zero it out and mess up the count? That’s just stupidTell them your flex fill team WILL audit it to zero. When we were doing the Easter mini-seasonal transition, we had an OPU order for nothing but 8 different easter candies. It was all up in the steel. I audited it all to zero right in front of a hardlines TL.
