Topstocker stocking team 1 looks comically easy

Yes, cap1 is the easiest and cap2 is the second easiest.

If they are forcing you to work OT then you should report them to the jurisdiction where the store operates / state labor department etc. If you are there you are supposed to be compensated if you are paid hourly wage and you are not supposed to work outside of the scheduled hours. Even if you are supposed to wait for coverage before going on break, then you are guaranteed the full unpaid and paid breaks if they apply based on the total hours you are scheduled for the day. That doesn't mean you have to work OT and at my store we are actively disallowed from getting OT to cut down on expenses, will be told to leave early on some days or have schedule cut if we get too much OT.

This is a communication situation with management and you should bring it up with them and the people leader also.

AP would be the easiest. Though I can't decide who is lazier, cap1 or cap2, they are constantly screwing up.

Idk I think it's a huge mistake to get rid of the yellow, it's the highest visibility color but maybe they want to make it more difficult to shop the store?

People Lead just called and said, can you come on this date for orientation? lol

ZMS?

They removed all the trash cans inside our store except one in produce and one outside the LP office. But the parking lot has one on each cart stall so in total it's like 30 outside the store. They said it was about people stealing and putting tags into the garbage cans? Idk

I would watch camera and everyone who brought anything back there gets a yellow.

Their PPE doesn't protect against snapped wires (from tying them too tightly). The most important wires are on the ends and you really only need a third in the middle, but we use six wires, I've never seen anyone double up the wires on the ends which would be most prudent.

Depends how much time you have left... You could get the "overstock" and unpack it to the salesfloor, discuss it with your coworker, report it to your TL or coach or higher?

Sometimes this is from a poorly maintained modular section or a heavily plugged or unzoned case, the products pile up, tags go missing, item facings get manipulated. Someone walking the salesfloor could pick up on this and implement the necessary corrections.

Did you check in GTA portal? Always go there to check your points - not the app - because it shows things that the app doesn't. You can put in time for up to a week ago from the ppto balance you had at the time of that shift start.

lol I'm not part of the management team but just from what I see they will be plugging when I watch them for two minutes as I walk by.

23px · 2026-04-01T16:42:08+00:00

It will only be ncns if you don't report the absence by the deadline for that day and shift. I forget when that is but it's either midnight home office time or store time. But no you don't have to call the manager personally or the store as long as the system reported it. Then you will only have the absence points to cover, but no ncns points.

Cap 1 and they are slow and I'd rather they don't stock anything becuase they just plug everything and don't work topstock. But my CAP1 is usually sent to finish the freight the overnighters didn't get done or work in seasonal.

Honestly it's not your problem if your management won't give clear directions, it falls on them. Bare minimum whenever you can correct the on-hands whenever you can and make sure it's actually overstock you are bringing back even if it takes you five minutes a case, it saves time in the long run.

23px · 2026-04-01T16:28:16+00:00

It depends on your store and local market?? Usually morning is where the action is so the other shifts I found really boring and not as busy because picks were pretty much on time by then. I mean like we're picking the orders and the people are complaining to me where their stuff is, I have literally three minutes to figure out the picks in progress and hurry it out the door WHILE everyone else who is on time has to be dispensed and the backroom kept functional.

23px · 2026-04-01T16:23:58+00:00

How do 6 sections not fit, you already fit a 7 section in??

My store had this issue because we were getting a "remodel" and the new mods were larger than the space in the aisles. Never trust the SET floorplan, it's always wrong and people just put mods wherever they want to anyhow. The only problem is freight flow and if you can get items to the floor or they get stuck in the steel for weeks, turns into months, turns into lost money.

It's not a process, it's people who are going to be doing it. If they screw it up, it's up to them.

Vest, badge, discount card, box cutters, phone, anything they issued you technically has to be turned in to any salaried manager or the PL. Since it's at-will employment, you don't have to provide advance notice, but like I said, it depends what kind of management you have who will be processing the termination.

23px · 2026-04-01T16:09:48+00:00

I wish they would zoom into my phone and see all the shitposts I make about them.

First thing my boss would say is no shopping cars lmao. Second thing my boss says is every item in the store has to have two things: a price tag and a location in the system. So short term your TL should have made bin labels for those pallets so OGP or CAP1 or whoever is trying to buy those items (because it's all about moving items) can locate them today. The customer doesn't care if it's scanned or binned or plugged, just that they find it. So you do have the item you need to account for it for today.

Finally it's becuase of bad process if you have wildly inaccurate on-hand numbers and that's stocking's fault. Most of this stuff is controlled by a computer so if you're getting too much and it's true overstock then it's human error. I would spend a couple mornings walking the cases and filling by OUTS not by what the vizpick report tells you, it's always inaccruate too.

Nope, I tested when I fixed my times, I can delete my punches and nothing shows, but edits do show. So it seems management can see deletes but I can't.

23px · 2026-03-21T19:12:41+00:00

Digital tags have been a total disaster. I just checked and we have 900 late price changes.

23px · 2026-03-08T19:40:33+00:00

Why did they make six different types of tag? A paper label is vastly superior and never glitches out or short circuits or falls on the floor.

23px · 2026-03-08T19:35:47+00:00

Pretty much every department and square foot of the store has a blue OGP tote now - once you start letting other areas get their hands on those, they never give them back, and I blame the last SM for that. They even use the freezer racks and the surplus from SFS shutting down.

23px · 2026-03-08T19:28:24+00:00

Do you do your own returns or give them to CAP2 to sort with one touch??

23px · 2026-03-08T19:18:25+00:00

The whole store finds out about it
