Do any stores have a afternoon frozen associate? The store Im at, there is only 1 person for frozen.
That would be me. They expect truck and backstock run everyday and still not go over 40 hours. Impossible.
Just curious how your stores are.
What are your total store sales without fuel and pharmacy?
How many cases on the truck?
A seasoned employee should be able to run 50-60 cases an hour.
How many backstock carts?
Imaginarily, it takes 15 minutes to run each cart of backstock. If ran everyday, they should be very low and easy to run.
We do over $1m in sales total store. Frozen has 4 people. I think two openers some days(orders, runs fast movers and stock), One closer(runs stock), One overnight(conditions and fills holes).
We do over a million also. The lead before me has everything screwed up. 5 backstock carts full, ordering was a mess. Im getting that straight. Trucks are between 160-240. More on sundays. Between conditioning, lows and holes, editing orders, filling holes and running truck Im working 9-10 hours a day. Backstock is run on mondays unless our trucks are late. We will start getting trucks 7 days a week soon due to increased sales. This is my first week as lead and I feel that a afternoon person to run backstock everyday would benefit my department.
My store does about 800k a week and we have 2 frozen clerks, a third shift guy who works 12a-8a, and the lead who works 4am-12p. After that there is no one in frozen all day unless they happen to send an evening grocery clerk over there (not usually gonna happen).

Totally on your side with this, but expect to be denied any help. That's the trend now, along with the insult of 'no excuse why you can't get it all done'

If you work in a million dollar store, there's no way one person can handle the frozen department on their own. I work in a million dollar store. I don't work in frozen. I work in bakery and I'm responsible for retrieving our frozen order. We get an order every day. There will be times when I go back to get the order and the freezer in the back will be a disaster. We're talking having to pull out four or five pallets just to get to the one you need and then having to put them all back. Then there's the dozen or more trucks of overstock that has to worked first. When it's like that, it's because there was only one person scheduled to work in frozen. They've resorted to asking for help from other stores.
The store I work at is a million dollar store, but there are no daytime frozen clerks. On average, two work overnight, basically the same hours as night crew, and then the frozen aisles don't get touched again until the following night (outside of vendors). My store REALLY could use some though, especially on weekends and holiday weeks.
I've been at three million-dollar stores, worked freezer in all of them, and I've only seen the department run by two people. Either in five 8-hour shifts, or the four 10s I'm doing now, which only gives one day of overlap when both of us are here. Nobody touches the department during the day unless we're out of ice up front. Managers will say to leave a fast-mover boat available during holidays, but it never actually gets worked until I come back in.
We've got four repack cages for the three aisles, and they definitely do not take only fifteen minutes to work. Thanks to us not having control over mins anymore, repack is a bit high . Even if we did work them every day (we don't; we get a weekly repack day), this department does not move product quickly enough to keep them low even with slow movers separated onto pallets.

50-60 is not high enough for some stores, I can assure you. I did about 80, and my co-worker just under that(faster on his good days), and we still could'nt get it done in 8hrs - this is because I had to stop earlier to count backstock and order. Eventually I had to get very conservative with ordering, while not hurting the sales of the department. I calculated that for a store doing over 2mil a week, or better yet, factoring in ONLY the average size of frozen trucks, you need 3 people to comfortably put up a 550 case truck.
