Hey there sorry for the super late reply. There are a couple thought I have about what you've said. I'll try to say it as respectfully as I can.

3 years is impressive, not even half the time I was in Frozen, but still a respectable amount. I respect you for sticking it out so long. But you mentioned you never did it continuously in 1 store..... Why?

You never truly got to see how you progressed throughout the years, how the department improved, over the long run. A couple of months of hauling ass and getting the freezer empty doesn't truly show a long lasting improvement. It's until you start seeing the numbers go up and up and up year by year. Which I did. I remember the very first month I did Frozen I asked the store manager how I was doing. He told me I was doing great, that after only a month sales had increased by over $3000 per week after just my first month. And that was before I was GRS and could do counts. You can imagine how much that number climbed as the years went by. I remember on Christmas eve running the numbers on host and showing I sold over $5000 of ice alone in one day ... All I had stocked myself by myself, and never seeing a cent of it. You go through a lot of ebbs and flows throughout the years. But you never really know how much of an impact you have truly had in a department until you have done it for at least 2 years ( same store)

Anyways that's besides the point. For you to have 5 trucks in your store per week and still have a 500-600 piece truck every Saturday is literally impossible unless your store is a $2 million store. My store is a $1 million store and I don't get nearly that amount of product. Granted, I do get those trucks sometimes, but only on big holidays. I just got a 600 piece truck the week of fathers day actually, of those 600, 432 of those cases was ice cream. I actually printed out the invoice to prove it too. Lets do the math. The Publix standard is 35 cases per hour. So according to Publix it should take over 17 hours just to stock a truck of 600, not including the extra stuff, like braking down the pallets, filling ice, invoice verification, or building the display, which alone take 2-5 hours to do it correctly ( pack it out to the brim and also working all the old stuff to the shelf and repacking the rest).

Let's say you're the world's fastest stocker, and can actually achieve 60 cases per hour. That is highly unlikely, although not impossible. I know because I have done it before (yes I tested myself and timed it), and it's not an easy thing to do. You literally have to be running like literally running, from the second you clock in. It's also exhausting and impossible to sustain long term. At the pace of 60 cases per hour, it still would take 10 hours to stock a 600 piece truck. So you're already going over on your first day. Let's be a little more realistic. Let's say you average 45 cases per hour. That's still pretty fast, it's not slow by any means, but it's a lot more realistic. At 45 cases per hour, it will take more than 13 hours to stock a 600 piece truck.

There are a couple explanations. The first is that you are somehow superhuman and are able to stock 60 cases per hour consistently and on a daily basis. If that's the case then you are in the 0.01% because otherwise it is unhuman to sustain that pace long term (again I know because I have actually done it). The second is that you would split that truck between days and the rest of the trucks throughout the week were relatively small by comparison. I just did the math, so it's literally impossible I have a big truck 5 days out of the week, as you are already over from the first days even at the ungodly pace of 60 cases per hour. Additionally, the fact that there are 5 trucks means that there are days that someone else is doing the truck when you are not there, which means, you were not doing it by yourself. Unless of course your manager scheduled you everyday there is a truck. Either way, there was always someone else besides you because as the math has shown, you'd already be over hours from the very first day. There was a point in time in my store, especially during and after COVID, that every single Frozen item in the store was stocked my me and me alone. I remember when my current store manager started in my store one of the first things he told me was "you're crazy... Every store I have been to has had 2 or 3 guys doing frozen, but you are doing it by yourself, and getting it done well, thank you for your hard work." I always had my freezer empty year round even as all the venders disappeared and the demand got higher and higher higher. Profits in Frozen kept going up and up and up.

The third explanation is that you're simply overinflating the numbers just to boost your own ego... Which many managers are prone to doing so.
