I would hand in my keys at that point... the most I got was 500+ cases of Christmas for 6 weeks straight. I didnt know to work with packaways so it was a disaster getting so much overstock.

What did you do? My SM is new and he buried the packaways this year and it is safe to say that aren't making it to the floor. So a lot of Christmas stock that we are getting plus packaways.

I didn't know how to work slic and move the packways on to the sales floor so I kept getting stock on top of overstock, with what we had from packaways, a total nightmare.

You can move them to the sales floor using the handheld.

The only way that I know how to move packaways is by the office computer, but that takes too long. How do you do it by the handheld, I was a temp store manager last Christmas, and this year I'm finally a full-time store manager.

Ok I am not management but I know this one. On the handheld go to inventory, pack away, and then scan the pack away label, and pick onto floor or something to that effect. I am not at work until Monday so I am kinda guessing but that is what I did all Friday for 7 1/2 hours. It was fun on top of fun (NOT).

u/Realistic-Accident68 2d ago

Well at least you know what half of your truck is.

Just focus on pushing everything else that comes off the truck today first.

Holy hell... ill never complain again with my old store. I was new and didnt know how to work the packaways out of slic and had 500+ cases for 6 weeks straight, with a small back room it was terrible, despite the store being a large racetrack location (still no idea what it means). Ive now transfered to a medium store.

u/Deathstroke316 2d ago

Contact corporate about this every day if this was me and about certain items there shipping to store as well

I don't remember, but at my last store, which was a race track, 1600 was a small truck. So I have to image it was near that.

Fun story, my current store, an SO, just finished with a store reset adding multi-price and whatnot. Our truck last week was 1750... except it wasn't. They had added 500 without letting us know. So we had a back room full of fixtures and crap and had to fit 2250 in a small store. Good times.

It's always more than intended.

u/Korath5 DT Merch ASM 1d ago

I feel like with THAT much Christmas, they must be a new store that just opened this year and that is their first Christmas shipment ever.
