This made me smile a little just because the frustrations really are the same wherever we go, eh? 

 

We had an issue recently because I work 3rd (O/N CSM) so my cashiers and I are responsible for working 82 frieght and the McLane's stuff.  For the LONGEST time, the rule was that I left overstock on a rocket cart because 3rd shift isn't "allowed" to prep and bin things.  And they didn't want to lose just a bit of 82 on a pallette.  Okidoki then.

 

Then this co-manager decided that the clean off ALL CARTS rule meant us too.  When I asked what he'd like me to do with any overstock (or stock we can't get to because they've shorted me cashiers like you wouldn't believe but oh dear, I digress!) and he said "it just can't be on a cart."  Um, oooooook...."so a pallette then?"  "I'd better not find 82 overstock on pallettes."  Hmmmmm...

 

His solution was to tell me we should stack it in the bins so that in the morning, the department manager could prep it or work it or whatever.  B-b-b-b-ut...never mind.  SIGH! 

 

So against everything inside of me (and against my royalest of pet peeves) we started stacking stuff in the bins WITHOUT prepping it.  (Insert horrific shudder here.)  I tried to clean the bins so we'd have a section where the unprepped stuff could go so the dept. mgr knew exactly where to go each morning but that didn't stay long.  (I only had to be away for 2 days for that to stop.)  So the unprepped stuff got mixed in with prepped stuff and SHE got taken to task for THAT.  UGH!

 

Add to that that the remodel crew LITERALLY hid breakpack boxes FULL of 82 and assorted junk in the 82 bins and whatamess.  :(  Also I got blamed for the breakpack boxes but that's a whole 'nother story.  lol

 

Lol all THAT to say that nobody took the time to realize how silly it ws that I was UNLOADING a rocket cart improperly into a bin just for that SAME MERCHANDISE to be put back ONTO the same rocket cart within 45 minutes. 

 

So, riddle me this...How is this good time management?
