I usually do the Team Stocking Guide for our third shift crew, the manager prefers that I do it. This is a way for the store managers to track the store productivity and make sure that the crew is actually working. In the michigan stores 200-250 cases thrown is standard every night.
i work 600 or more in the morning when i have to open dairy and i have to face the department everyday as well while only have one extra person to help me.
600 cases of what? I'm not talking about 600 gallon jugs of milk. Furthermore, 3 out of 4 weeks our store is absolutely tore up, so we have to spend more time on conditioning the aisles and picking up all the orphans.
600 cases sure .... first off your probly counting cases that u dont even open . we have to price everything in our division or all of michigan actually has to price all cases

TSG is just another one of those paper trails they think is a good idea to keep us occupied (yeah, much better than doing my job!) Look at frozen food department, they have to do a shelf review, crew sheet and order before 11am (there's 3 hours gone) then sort a truck AND they must condition their department every day. SO, before they can even run a truck, a good 5 or 6 hours out of an 8 hour shift are gone. Ridiculous
The Team stocking guides at my store are wrong it will say i have 25 cases. When in reality I am looking at more of the range of 80 or 90. and has me down to complete it in 21 minutes. They wld be ok if they were right and would understand that 80 or 90 cases in 21 mins. is not possible. And when i wasnt finished, I got wrote up.

sounds like you didn't do the crew sheet correctly. It should automatically calculate the amount of time alotted for sorting and stocking but I've never seen it only give you 20 minutes to put up that many cases!
Well..it goes by what is ordered on the truck (that's what my store manager said), however it is possible for the number of cases you have to stock to be incorrect, because of a mispick or an extra truck. Your best bet for the next time is to write down how many cases it exactly was and not throw away your cardboard or plastic to show the manager that the stocking guide was incorrect. I think you will find that this will help you next time they try to write you up.
i just dont think my dept. head knows exactly what they doing, whats funny is that they swear by this as a bible at my store. But then they tell me it is just a guide. If it is just a guide how can they write someone up over it.

I dont make orders very often, but had to make one the other day (as well as receive DSD, unload grocery and perishable trucks) and and AND do 2 shelf reviews. So I didn't have much time to look at the order (maybe ten minutes!) and guess what? I forgot about the crew sheet, you would have thought I'd done something horribly wrong, they acted like it was the end of the world. Well look I had all this other stuff to do and I thought the order was more important (even tho I didn't give it much attention). but seriously they said they would have rather that I done the crew sheet and forgot about ordering....WHAT??!!!
Our head night never let us see the TSG's, he just filled them out close enough that it satisfied our zone managers. The problem is that it doesnt account for the fact that one person has more than one aisle to work and those who are not productive get praise for doing it in the time they are supposed to rather than the actual time that they wasted. I stock an average of 150 cases an hour, on an easy night. Another person only stocks 25-30 cases per hour, yet he gets credit for doing the same anount of work as I do. How is that fair? TSG's can weed out the bad workers before they are hired in permanently and could also weed out non-productive employees if they are used correctly, i e, if you dont lie on them. Your labor hours are figured on productivity, if you lie and say it only takes an hour to do a three hour job then you are not scheduled enough workers to do the job.
150 cases an hour........BULL.....80 -85 is about average when your bustin azz... Team stocking guides....Key Retailing.....shelf reviews....TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.....Kroger wants to be like Wal-mart.....They should have jumped on that wagon along time ago when Sam Walton runnin Wally World and paid better attention.....cuz all they have learned from Wal-mart is to treat employees like CRAP..... Vendors laugh @ all this new B.S......and say that Kroger must a long lost retarded cousin of OL' WALLY.

i assume you mean 200 cases per person? That doesn't sound like a whole lot. I worked dairy today and the truck was 200 pieces, I got it done. When I work grocery I notice that often times one person sets off the grocery truck then has to run almost all of it on their own. Now when we get KMP we usually have 3 or 4 guys to run it, but that's because the night shift tends to be more lazy so it takes more people...

dog food and tp, anything easy like that you can easily get over 100 cases per hour, so if your store averages, say 65 cases per hour, there must be some slow ass people on your crew to be bringing the average down that much. It's nothing to see a normal/average cart of say 60 cases be ran in less than an hour, it's just a matter of getting EVERYONE to be that productive...that just ain't gonna happen (we don't get paid enough!) and why should one person bust their ass when the rest of the department won't?
I work at krogers in michigan and we are told that we have to do 40 cases and hour. Well we just do what ever. We get yelled at all the time, but they can't do nothing about it and its so nice.

only 40???? wow, we are told 55. the thing is this though: there are several of us who can easily do over 60 per hour but since they "strive for 55" we're only going to do the bare minimum, they asked for it, they got it.
so as a department if we had averaged, say 60 cases per hour and they said they wanted 55 (to hurry up the slow people) well then we're all going to slow down to 55 bringing the average from 60 to 55. they need to think before they push certain things
