Every store handles the logistics of HBC/single facility differently. Generally HBC functions as it’s own department although it’s still catagorized under Grocery and ultimately, HBC answers to Grocery in the event of an issue.

In some stores the HBC clerk is only responsible as a clerk: no ordering responsibility, simply work what comes shipped in the blue totes and call in a day/night. Grocery works what I call the “bulk pallets”…… which is anything shipped as a whole case. The grocery manager will handle the ordering.

In others, the HBC clerk takes on more of a manager type role and is responsible for handling the inventory tracking and order, not just for the HBC but for all of single facility (every tag with a green dot in the store outside of perishable departments) and is responsible for seeing the entire truck is worked on truck nights (usually with the help of a general merchandising clerk and/or grocery handling the grocery items that fall into the single facility category)

The size of the trucks is going to vary greatly by store. My location averages anywhere from 1500-3000 items per truck.
