Occasionally I am scheduled to pull product out from underneath the shelves. On a normal day I can get the entire store done with a little time left over. However the last time I did it I ended up filling five carts to the brim and didn't get the store done. I found out that the grocery crew don't want to pick up their back stock even though they have plenty of time and just kick it underneath. I let the manager and CCS know about this and next time this mess happens I'm going to take whatever huge number of carts to the back grocery area and leave the grocery head a note.

We (grocery) are required to scan all backstock (to correct balances) and then put them on the appropriate isle's cart EVERY single day. Leaving that stuff laying around, be it in the back room or hidden on the isle, is a big no-no because it creates holes on the shelf. If you're finding gobs of stuff as you describe you definitely should let a manager know.
I agree. That is an enormous amount of shrink that's costing the yearly bottom line an obscene amount of money, and yes you absolutely should keep after management about this.
I swear my groc manager that has been in retail since 1967 likes to hide stuff under the shelves!! :)
Once, I was running the tuna aisle and smelt something rotten. I just had to look under the shelf.... It was a case of canned chicken. I just had to pull it out from under the shelf.... =:( Mothlike bugs flew everywhere. I quickly grabbed a plastic bag and they were still everywhere. I grabbed another bag and they were still everywhere. Finally, I triple bagged it and contained the bugs.
I can understand if someone is grossed out by rotten chicken, but don't kick it under the shelf. Call someone that can deal with it.
Our last clean-up was about 8 months ago. I am trying to talk out Utility clerk into doing it again. Mostly singles are under shelves.
Maybe if the front end knew how to make a schedule, then day grocery would be able to get stuff done. If I'm titled GROCERY CLERK, then logically I should spend most of my shift in grocery, NOT as a cashier.

lolololol
I'm in the same situation as well. xD
Been transferred from grocery to front end, but still classified as "GROCERY CLERK".
The guy making the front end schedule is pretty good, it's just that he's limited by a small amount of staff (we're severely understaffed) combined with the lack of hours corporate hands down.
