I stock bread. Every morning, everyday. I like it, sure, don't get me wrong...BUT...I'm slowly getting tired of seeing white and wheat, buttermilk, and tendertwists...is anyone in the same boat as me?
I help with bread 2, sometimes 3 days a week but I don't mind doing it. Our store sells a good amount of bread so it takes 2 people on tues&thurs. As long as its gets rotated,marked down when necessary, it's not so bad. There are days when I get tired though.
I stock bread every single day as well.. it's my job to do basically that. I HATED it at first but have been doing it for awhile now and it's not so bad. Unless there are other people that do it on your day off that suck and don't do what they are supposed to - IE: rotate/markdowns. That can become a LARGE hassle.
I stock bread the days I work day grocery. (other days im in dairy). The first or second day which was not long ago that i was stocking break the bread was so messed up I had to call a manager and ask about it. Tags were in the wrong spot. breads were in the wrong spot and then I spent 20 or so minutes trying to fix it perfect until i asked about it. Then the manager replied oh well its kinda supposed to be like that all mixed in. Now dont get the wrong impression, it wasnt any bread goes anywhere but it was slightly organized and at the same time not. So now when I got in i dont rotate because it sells so quick and i just do it like they had been doing it.
I stock bread and I'm the receiver. I work in one of the new 86,000 sq. foot stores. I have to do the DSD shelf review, then stock bread. On delivery days I have 2 hours to do both. On non-delivery days I have 90 minutes. I also have to rotate, markdown and scan out in that time frame. I get to work at 3 or 3:30 a.m and have to start receiving at 5 a.m. I also have to markdown the damaged goods, clean the backroom, organize the back room, maintain security for the back room, order supplies, scan out reclaim and other damaged goods, receive, close out invoices for starbucks, bakery, floral, Gen-Merchandise, deal with wine and beer vendors whose items rarely scan, take out eveybody's elses trash, build lawn and garden furniture, deal with the meat dept's coats and store rugs and mats, clean the back parking lot, cut up damaged pallets, make sure the salvage gets on the truck right, be responsible for peyton deliveries, deal with UPS and FedEx, check in dairy, produce, meat and frozen food when no-one else is on duty, bale cardboard, and put up with co-managers smoking in the back room and order the bread for the next delivery.
