I was told by the end of the month that the Meat Department is going to have to start hanging their own tags in lunchmeat. It seems like they keep adding more and more stuff to our list of things to do, but claim those hours are in our hours. Well, I am going to the union meeting at the end of the month to see what can be done about getting an efficency expert in to evaluate hours. Its been nearly 10 years since they've done this yet they've added more stuff like Backstock Reviews, Cleaning Schedules, etc. They say it only takes 20 hours a week in ELMS to wrap and that it takes 20 hours a week to wrap. Can you smell that bull****? Wrapping is a 48 hour / week job alone.

That's like...EVERY DEPARTMENT! I'd LOVE to know where they come up with their numbers! If ELMS says it can be done, then ELMS must be right, right? How can they possibly factor in the intangibles? It's a one-size-fits-all solution to a more complicated problem...What the system says, and what actually happens are two different things!
At least in my store, elms works fine on the front end. Other departments I'm not sure about though...
if its like my store its only because other departments do most of your checking and bagging for you. all this key retailing bull**** is exactly that....****. we should be so grateful to have dave dillon and his goon squad leading kroger. he ran his own company into the ground...so hey lets buy it from him and then give him control....he knows what to do. he wants to b a walton so bad..he ought go suck some walmart cod an see where that would get him.....with any luck one may see him stockin depends somewhere someday soon....he could ****up a happymeal......yay dave

No, actually, we rarely call any help from other departments anymore. We started doing what we were told we had to and put the relief help only on the register and having them stay for at least 15 min at a time, and lo and behold we started getting a few more hours during peak times to schedule our own help and not rely on another dept.
It is so sad so many highly educated and extremely well paid individuals are so oblivious to the real world and rarely see what is really happening right in front of their eyes.....men of words and not of deeds are like a garden full of weeds.
