our PP scan is at 1pm everyday and when I'm in charge of grocery, I'll do orders, team stocking guides (daily planners now), out of stock diagnostic scan, etc and once those are done I'll spend the rest of the time filling holes for the scan. I usually spend a good 2 hours just checking low spots and finding the crap in the back...in backstock, fast mover carts, shippers, or out on the floor in one out of 900 places it could be (managers like to move **** on a daily basis so it's hard to keep up). Anyway I'll do this searching and filling until my dept has been scanned and I can go run the truck or something.. I got to thinking, before this scan started, what did we spend all our time doing?
Makes you wonder, don't it? With so many changes (and this is coming from a grocery business veteran who has seen many of them), I wonder what we'll be doing in the next five years!

we'll have a room full of cameras showing every inch of shelf space, and a team of people who are to run and find every item from the back and replenish it as soon as it is removed from the shelf.
Shelf tags will be digital (already are in Europe), product could have RFID or some way to constantly tell the system how many there are and where. No need for pre-primetime scan. File maintenance is virtually eliminated. Hours will be cut accordingly.

File Maintenance is changing out price tags and signs. I just started it not too long ago. From what the other File Maintenance people in my store have told me, they used to have to change the prices in the computer as well, but that part is now no longer File Maintenance's responsibility.
I don't know how the utility clerk would do that at my store. We have utility clerks from 8am-10pm every day and they still have their hands full the entire time. We have 2 full time file maint clerks as well as people from other depts they use 1-2 times per week.

It's not like Scan File gets a lot of hours to begin with! The file maintenance guy will probably just move over to maintaining digital sign integrity. He or she will also probably not die in a fire every couple weeks, because they'd be changing prices with the punch of a button.
