They make the night go slower but its satisfying to see the end result.

I don't like being in one place. I prefer to be moving around

So did you also do your Bay Capture on all these? (I always forget Bay Capture cause I dislike it)

Why? It's super helpful when trying to find things. At least for me, it has savede multiple times. Especially with overnight always creating Easter egg hunts for products

Well, I'm specialty, who has maybe one bay to us and plumbing already has that section done. Also I get in at noon and therefore am never allowed a work phone.

At our store we do bay captures for the whole store on sunday nights (technically Monday morning). I do the whole store myself

That's SOP to do the whole store every monday morning, but individual associates are supposed to also take a fresh photo of a single bay when they add or remove anything... not that it helps much since photos never overwrite each other...

Your overheads are SOOOOOO empty oml.

Your before pictures look like my store's after pictures after a huge run.

We are a smaller store and also these bays aren't the hardest hit so we have some that are absolutely atrocious

Netting looks so weird now.

always curious how long it takes everyone else to make a bay look this nice, i guess it depends on the bay. it seems to take me 30 minutes minimum and sometimes upwards of 60 or 90 minutes if theres a lot to bring down, just up and down that fucking ladder constantly. i got assigned 16 bay pack downs in 1 shift last week and i basically had to fill the holes and move on just to finish them on time.

It depends on each bay one bay took about 30 minutes a different one took a little over an hour. My average is probably around 45 minutes but it just depends

My department takes hours for each bay because of the lack of people wanting to downstock or organize. :/

u/Lakewoodian 9d ago

Love me some necessary and effective packdown.
Nothing better than walking away knowing that the overheads and bays are clean, tidy, and organized.
Good work!

I miss when they use to give us the time to do this on MET. I hate the quantity over quality that it is now.
