So I work at 439 and we have a small stock crew for a million dollar store (6 stockers) and between their poor work habits and our managements inability to enforce CA's, we seem to be struggling to keep up with all this paperwork and whatnot...Anyone else having this/similar issues? Fundamentally, its all there but where's the time? Training TSG's time is based on roughly 60 cases an hour.... we all know EVERYBODY just simply cant make the times...ARRRGH what a pain in the rear.
Actually everyone should be able to do 60 per hour. However most people that they hire dont care. If management would enforce the crew sheets and get people into the stores that are good and get rid of dead weight things would be easier. As far as the key retailing or whatever they call it today. I don't like all the paperwork but the counting, mins, allows is fantastic. The better your counts the better your orders the better your backstock. I've been with krogers for 15 yrs. grocery dept. head

60 cases an hour my A$$ try it your at a dead run...people cant do that every day......and if they are doing 60 cases an hour..other thing are left undone...
I have worked for kroger many years and this is the worst ive seen...there is absolutly no employee input..
Maybe 60 an hour if you literally do nothing but stock. As in, everything is already spotted for you on your aisle and you don't have to break down the boxes after stocking, clean up, condition, turn backstock, shoot the backstock, account for broken/damaged product, fill displays with extra product, crush cardboard, make bails, and all the other things necessary in being a stocker. Sure there are lazy people that don't care, but averaging 480 cases per night is impossible if you actually do your job well and all the necessary aspects of it. According to that logic you only need 4 people to work a 2,000 piece load.
You have to have only 12 items on your cart when you go out on the produce sales floor. You also have to have two full boxes of bananas on your cart at all times. Funny that the goal of "Wave 5 Produce" is to keep product fresh...haven't we always been keeping product fresh?! Also, why are we not allowed to fill more than two layers of product?
