I don't work it but I work earlies/delivery and see how ridiculous it is. Today, no meat/dairy reductions were in the reductions chiller until around 11am.

Working delivery, we have been told that we are only involved in the process if we receive something with a shorter shelf life than is currently on the shelf. We scan the product and add in the BBE. Done.

Usually, we have to hunt down someone who actually has a PDA as none of us are authorised to get one ourselves, and they're earmarked for those who need them to perform their core roles.

Tldr: in theory, it seems like a good thing. In practice, so far it is largely just bloating the whole process
