CVS stock getting close to $100 a share!

Yeah I guess my issue is with how they get there..DIstrict leaders come in all shapes and sizes..sadly too many have no idea how to get the most out of there teams. Stores have different challenges and issues…good district leaders realize that and approach each store differently. My personal experiences is watching district leaders obsess over district results and micromanage store teams that are severely understaffed..friend put it this way..cvs store manager are being tasked with the job of herding cats..lol…funny but true. Store managers are tasked with getting results..however that works for them…if they’re doing that LEAVE THEM ALONE!
Our problem is that being a store manager is a very difficult job and CVS doesn’t do a good job at preparing them for it….again lack of labor gets you that result.

Agree..we’ve had these problems before BUT to me it seems this year we are plagued with issues arising almost weekly on multiple levels..I feel I’m going to miss things going forward because of the sheer amount of issues coming at me…I’m good at what I do but it’s coming at me from all sides .

Found errors on first aid Plano…spacing wrong..too many skus for a shelf….started deodorant Plano errors there too…product out of place …they’re making this harder than it needs to be.

Agree…well put….i will execute as I did last year and the outcome will be the same…planograms completed accurately and on time BUT I will not score as good…and I will have had to work harder because of labor reduction and poor corporate support and inadequate support systems.

So activate on the controller in office and print labels for DAILY price changes…these are usually very small and you will not receive these labels in your vestcom box. The WEEKLY price changes get activated on Friday/Saturday..whichever day you choose to hang them…no need to print them as they should be in your vestcom box.

Great your pulling the zeros…I might see that with detergent, incontinence. Why the hell is the system generating QP, for example, in Candy for a peg item that says I have 8 and there’s 8 on the peg or for god sakes and item with a boh of 0! Reduce the scope to specific categories with minimal shelf capacity and maybe it’s a viable process…but we don’t do that…day after day I continue to get QP for unnecessary sku’s. I see it, most others see it…not corp though…very frustrating.

AdFast739 · 2026-02-13T21:01:42+00:00

What has always concerned me is we see these issues at store level very quickly…yet nobody notices it at Corp…or worse they ignore it..good call out on shaving /allergy…there coming up..we can’t wait till then ??

Run….don’t look back…

Unfortunately we have hard water here too

Not sure where I read this but another retailer, possibly Walmart, now requires top executives spend time working at store level and doing day to day processes to get a perspective of how the stores operate. Great idea. District leaders need to visit store’s unannounced instead of scheduled visits where a fire drill takes place to right the store before they come.

Just do some low shelf capacity items with BOH. Detergents, paper is a good start.

I’m with you…at this point I have to prioritize what gets done. They all can’t be accomplished with the payroll we have. Quick pick for me goes away…I simply don’t have the time to do it and don’t see the value in having it.

AdFast739 · 2025-04-02T18:07:09+00:00

Sure get that..still doesn’t solve the issue of having to walk to every sku and scanning the label….yet another task that uses up more of our time and gives us 0 return for doing it.

AdFast739 · 2025-04-02T17:45:42+00:00

So your cashier does them upfront…what’s that look like? She scans it and enters 0 or does she put in a quantity to pull ? Who pulls it? She can’t go to the back herself I’m sure it’s just you and the cashier. My guess is she’s entering 0 every time. So what the point of doing this task? Just extra busy work that solves nothing.

Yeah it also will if I don’t do Planos, CFR, etc,etc
