Day stocking is certainly a hindrance to the Kroger shopper because many of the shelves sit empty while the product is on pallets in the middle of the floor in front of the products that -are- on the shelves and the employees block access to the meat, etc because they are stocking or BSing with each other or customers.
What makes it even harder than it would be otherwise is that you'll also be bailing out the front end, sometimes multiple times, because you'll be used as a surge checker and called to help get carts when carts get low/run out completely, and lastly, you'll even be used to help bag from time to time.
Of course, if you're unloading a truck in receiving at the time, that supersedes having to go up front/outside for carts.
You'll be reading the replenishment report all day and getting water to the floor often.
what's the replenishment report? Is that just a list of holes that may be on thr back stock cart? They don't just work backstock and scan it like overnight grocery does on backstock day?

When someone does the prime time review at about 1 in the afternoon, it spits out a replenishment report of all the holes. Someone is supposed to search backstock carts to try and fill those holes. That pic is how our day crew replenishes holes. The yellow 99 cent tags are supposed to be Red Gold canned tomatoes. The yellow $1.89 tags are supposed to be The Del Monte canned tomatoes. The missing Red Gold tomatoes are on a jam packed endcap about 40 feet away. I stopped ordering them because the sale was almost over and there were about 20 cases of each flavor in the store. I would grab one flat each day to put on the shelf before I left for day hoping that daycrew would use their time to fill it correctly...Wishful thinking.
