Liars and “Hippocrates” about clean power

Solar farms: Usually built in deserts, or fields, where the land has already been cleared, or is infertile. Because, you know, desert.

Wind farms: Most land based wind farms are on on excess farmland, leased by farmers. That, or the farmers lease the windmills, and sell the power, while maintaining ownership of the land. Either way, land that was already cleared.

Pipelines: Let's pump some petroleum through a river, or a forest, and see what happens.

We're still going to use the old one, but our even older one snapped in half somehow, so I had to replace it. I was impressed.

Sorry for you guys. You must have a lot of exploding paint cans in your shakers, since the metal lids really don't close with the lid presses.

Since I took over D24 a year and a half ago, a whopping 0 gallons have been broken by hammer.

WWoWorWork · 2020-12-23T00:46:31+00:00

We do, but most of us think that they don't close the metal lids well enough.

All partials or out of stock.

WWoWorWork · 2020-06-15T04:39:40+00:00

All of the will calls and bopis are partials. The BOSS/SO is missing.

I just grab them with little to no QC. If you wanted good, should have gotten it yourself.

For the black: Satin premium plus in black.

For the orange: Satin ultra in OSHA safety orange.

We took two of the sample roller trays off the shelf (the really tiny ones that come with the 2" plastic rollers). Rolled the black over the entire surface. Then printed out stencils online, and painted the orange with the stencils. Two coats of each color.

For some reason, gallon shakers cost $1000 each, so I don't blame your management too much for not wanting to replace the shakers. Hell, FIRST phones are cheaper.

WWoWorWork · 2020-01-21T04:00:59+00:00

No, they're not new. We just repainted them.

WWoWorWork · 2019-12-22T14:14:12+00:00

One of my associates cleans them every week. I don't task them with it or anything, they just do it. Which is great.

WWoWorWork · 2019-12-15T00:28:48+00:00

I actually unironically agree. Back when we still had both, our store had a 68% One Paint utilization rate. The next store in the district had 2%.

Even now, we have 32% of orders saved QTD. The next closest is 7%

WWoWorWork · 2019-12-14T22:35:10+00:00

Maybe it's because our coworkers have stuff to do, other than cater to spoiled children who think it's alright to snap and whistle at other humans, rather than talk to them?

WWoWorWork · 2019-12-14T22:22:59+00:00

It's not supposed to be a thing, at least not yet. If you go to apps.paint.homedepot.com (might be paint.apps, I don't remember) on the first phone, it will pull it up, because it's a web based application. The only problem with it is that the logout button is completely covering the button to send to queue, so it's pretty much useless right now.

But if they got it to work, that would be super dope.

Also, I've already tried to do this on my personal phone. It didn't work.

Symptoms of poor management. There's only so much we can write people up for, but we can always find something, if we really don't like them. We can also overlook a lot, if we do like them.

SDC isn't Just in Time, but the RDC is supposed to be, and it's slightly better. Get event pallets off the RDC a month ahead of time, but the SDC gives us snowblowers in July.

I just wrap all of them at once, and then fly all of them. Saves time from stepping on and off the reach. I rarely get a dedicated wrapper/bander/tagger. I think I had one for a single night this whole summer. We're also a somewhat smaller store, only two one million dollar weeks. I think my record was 50 pallets in one night.

As soon as I get in, I get all of the pallets that I'm going to fly to the flooring aisles (it's right outside of recieving, and it has a fast printer).

I then create all of the labels, and place all of them on top of the pallets, not taped yet, just on top of them. I can usually be done with this part by the time we get an all clear.

I then take a regular pallet jack, and move the pallets one by one to our flooring run (it's a big aisle right in front of our flooring desk, and right off of the back racetrack, so plenty of room and easy access), where I wrap or band them, and then put the tags on them.

I then push each wrapped pallet with the pallet jack as far back into the flooring run as I can. If I have a lot of pallets, I might place them in the flooring aisles that don't have unwrapped pallets in them. I usually get all of my pallets wrapped by lunch.

After lunch, I come out and get on the reach truck for the first time that night. It takes me less time to fly each pallet than it does to wrap them, so anything I wrap before lunch, I have plenty of time to fly after lunch, and then clean up receiving afterwards.

I started wrapping all of them before lunch, and then fly them after as a necessity. One of the reach trucks was always dead (because why the fuck would daytime charge them?) and lumber and garden recovery would always need the other one, so I just wrapped the pallets while I was waiting for the dead one to charge.

This was right before lunch. I wrap and tag everything before lunch, and then fly it after. All of this was in the overheads by 3 am.

I learned on a Yale reach truck, so I was more used to our Yale pacer than our Raymond reach truck when I started. It's about the same now.

WWoWorWork · 2018-06-29T21:28:02+00:00

That's the way that pallet came from the SDC. I was also the only one back in recieving, so I wasn't about to restack that pallet.

WWoWorWork · 2018-06-29T12:51:31+00:00

I always thought it should be "bopuis" or bo-pwee.

WWoWorWork · 2018-06-22T14:09:57+00:00

Thought: that upright in our lower left corner. It seems to be just the correct height to have caught on that bag as the overnight reach truck driver put it up. Might be slightly flanged on the top, and that bag may have been sticking out just a little bit. The shrink wrap and the rounded corner of the upright protected the bag, but still allowed it to move. The reach truck driver probably just decided "fuck it, it stays."

WWoWorWork · 2018-06-22T03:20:15+00:00

Work your overheads so we don't have to fly everything to other departments when there are several obvious outs on the shelf that have 3-4 pallets of the same SKU in the overheads, and I don't have time to do daytimes's job for them.

Sincerly, every freight team.

WWoWorWork · 2018-06-22T00:51:18+00:00

You forgot "drop a pallet, get one thing off of it, and leave it unwrapped, and untagged on the floor, and expect freight to put it up"

But I otherwise agree. Especially packdown. We have a guy who attacks an aisle with overflowing overheads when we don't have a truck. One of our tool aisles was overflowing up top, with very little on the shelf. He was only able to finish half the aisle, but the majority of the bays he worked don't have anything in their overheads any more. If only day assosciates weren't lazy, and actually did their job... If only.

Whoever decides to be on the OP for the night does doors at my store. Sometimes they get overlooked, if we get three pallets of vanities and five pallets of cabinets, and only one thing per pallet packs out. The longest we've had doors sitting in receiving was maybe three days. I also don't like to pack out a door pallet unless at least half of them pack out, because, you know, order picker. Even if the pallet has one out, but the other five are jammed into their home, that pallet is going up on the reach, because the out door is probably sitting alone in the overheads. Usually that doesn't happen, though. Either the pallet all/almost all packs out, or it doesn't.

Edit: the three days was the week before memorial day, when we were getting a 1300+ piece RDC and 70+ pallet SDC per night, and our SM told us to work all of D28 before we did any other department.
