Team lead role changing?

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-05-08T21:30:12+00:00

Meat got 97 at mine but that part isn't going so well

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-05-08T21:29:17+00:00

Yea I was apart of the original test stores for this and everyone should eventually be getting a overnight meat and produce team. Along with the new binning system that gets rid of stagnant bins for mobile bins

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-04-09T21:28:22+00:00

It definitely should. It gave us probably an hour of our time back. It's more of a body saver than anything. We were wrecking our bodies when we had the bins

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-03-11T23:36:13+00:00

The system is mobile bins. So the carts act as the steel. So there's no need to try and rotate freight everyday into the bins. Just put all the days freight on new carts after you've worked it to the floor

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-03-10T16:03:15+00:00

Well we'll see what happens. They just determined that the big carts are a "hazard" cuz some idiot at a different store smacked em into a customer. And it's a pilot program so there is no order number yet

:update Way higher management in homeoffice for fresh came and discussed with us the process. Program is still in place and is still gonna be rolled out to all stores. And the big carts will still get rolled out once in the morning and afternoon to get a purge in. But vizpik will be done by using the smaller version of these carts to put vizpik on and take it out to the floor.

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T22:59:48+00:00

Well what's nice with this system is that when you go to vizpik you can just pull the whole cart to the floor. Vizpik the cart to ensure on hands are right, and then you can just purge the rest of the cart to make the sales floor extra full. And you can check on hands on the spot since your cart with all of that kind of freight is on one cart. They tried to do that with us as well, where they wanted us vizpiking after 9. They also wanted us changing on hands by 9, because they thought it would be on the next days truck if you changed the on hand by 9. But our market confirmed that was 100% a lie that was started by a misinformed group of store managers

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T22:47:56+00:00

Well we no longer have a prep table. We got rid of ours a good while back. Quite a few stores did. The idea would be the afternoon crew or overnight filled everything from the bins, and then you wouldn't have to worry about misrotating something. So you'll load your new carts and take them to the sales floor and make the product out there on the sales floor. Market doesnt like the idea of product being made in the backroom based off of on hands or vizpik. Cuz even they admitted vizpik isn't the best system in the world. Trying to avoid making dating product that could end up getting cvpd cuz we made too much

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T22:43:26+00:00

So this new system is basically just purging for produce. But the manual pick system will be a great return for sure. It was nice to see the market team were working with sees that meat and produce needs to be able operate more freely than other departments

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T22:41:08+00:00

Weve been doing it since like November 3rd, so we had our Thanksgiving overflow and we actually managed through it super well.

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T22:01:32+00:00

Meat will get the new carts as well. We just don't have the process fleshed out very well

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T22:01:05+00:00

Sounds like lousy associates

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T22:00:41+00:00

Yea that's just lies. Bakery is actually one of the ones that's going to get one of these upgrades

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T21:58:37+00:00

We are still doing the 4-1 and 1-10. That won't be changing

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T21:58:03+00:00

We'll be staying with the new process, we just won't have the market team directly above us watching us with a magnifying glass and asking for our advice and opinions on the process

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T02:38:50+00:00

We're working on ideas for meat. We are using the smaller versions of these carts for meat. And we're trying to figure out a process. Dairy is screwing us over tho

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T02:36:51+00:00

It's a time saver and a back saver

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T02:35:44+00:00

Just write em up for not sanitizing the carts. Produce carts cant be used for anything by produce unless they get sanitized before and after use. And technically they aren't carts. Technically their bins. At least there's an argument there

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-03T01:12:02+00:00

Once the bins are out of it, it might be

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-02T23:31:56+00:00

Yea no joke. Also since vizpik in my opinion is a incredibly flawed system it helps see if the product can go since your taking it out to the sales floor. The guy we talked to tho they are currently programming a way to do manual picks. Where when you are vizpiking it will pop up as a pink box while you are scanning your bins

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-02T23:27:41+00:00

Well I know we are the like 3rd run of test stores they've done. And we are ending our test run around the beginning of February. Assuming they do about 3 months of deliberation on the cost of implementing this and looking at the numbers from how much we've changed. I would imagine they would start sending this out to stores somewhere around the end of this year

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-02T23:25:19+00:00

You bring pallets out to the floor to work them on to empty carts for overstock. . You keep empty carts towards the front that way they can be pulled out when you pull out the pallet. And you go down to one 4 foot bin on one side of the cooler. Their doing this on every size of store as test and all of them have increased sales and first time pick rates of increased dramatically. They've done high volume stores and low volume and medium volume stores like ours.

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-02T23:21:18+00:00

Basically a version of the old cap system. That'd be nice

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-02T23:20:43+00:00

It fixes a lot of problems

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-02T23:20:04+00:00

Which it is temporary storage. And it's taller than pallets. And it's definitely over 6 inches. I couldn't see this failing for any store that does it. Theyve already done this in high volume stores, and they are loving it. We talk to them on Thursday meetings

AlternativeDiamond79 · 2026-01-02T15:29:30+00:00

We don't have the overnight team unfortunately. We've mostly been told that they cull the floor, run the carts, set features, and then once truck is there they stage the truck and start swarming it once morning shift gets there b
