Something my predecessor tried was on the largest rugs, one of those softlines bars that the farther back rug goes behind, then a rug in front of it. Keeps them from falling over, but what a fucking event it becomes to remove those back rugs; I seriously wonder how the hell flow team pushes them. I was thinking of reducing the capacity to 1 on the largest rugs, then using several of the softlines bars to prevent more than one rug from being pushed there.
I never thought of this... do you still use the flimsy metal headers on top? I find a lot of the safety issue is these becoming dislodged or crooked and turning into face-level swinging shrapnel. I looked on SAP for rug fixtures and there’s two headers with the same target part number but different SAP numbers and a vastly different price; $30ish for 2 on one set and $170ish for 2 on the other. Of course, there’s no picture or description on SAP. The current ones are shitty off white metal with a white cardboard cover on the front; I thought I’d seen at another target black metal with a fake wood grain cover but I couldn’t find anything on SAP.
Furniture is another major issue that I was going to save for it’s own thread. Most of the issue is flow team overpushing and lazily. For that my plan is to double the metal arms, constantly limit quantities, and have early dayside ETLs monitor who’s pushing so I can have documented discussions as soon as it’s improperly pushed.
While I like this idea, I have a feeling it would end up being me having to push them, plus I don’t want them backstocked more than they have to be.
they always just shove them off the line and never come back to grab them to push with the rest of their freight.
Surprisingly, the folding chairs/tables/stools section of my furniture valley is safe and relatively problem-free. It’s the room essentials desks and bookshelves across from it that are a shit show lol
I pointed it out when one fell and hit me in the face while I was helping a guest, and was told if I dropped the shelf down so it wouldn't happen again, I'd have to redo the whole back wall so the shelves were even. Oh well, guess one will just fall on a guest and they'll sue us.
At my store it’s the crackheads who overpush the plastics before we open, resulting in 100 of a single DPCI filling up my back wall of plastics. Then they complain when I have the closers leave them with 5 flatbeds of plastics backstock. I’m not making dayside waste their time backstocking your overpush.
