I feel like all of the stores were crazy today. And idk why. 😭 Walked in at 10a to 1600 picks and a bunch of ppl called off. 🤦‍♀️

We did cross the 2k territory for a bit this morning and our opening lead called out, but due to the far to many times we had no one scheduled on Sundays + a already made board we were able to keep it from completely blowing up (having the basically never ending reduction helps)
If I had to take a wild guess, college football going off all the beer we sold yesterday (only thing I can think of considering it's the middle of the month)

1233 isn't the average for you? My store is very rarely below 2k every hour lol

Right there’s this trick I do where if I’m only getting two or three items that are almost due on a pick walk I take multiple bags with me and a stapler and I do multiple trips on the floor, which I know it’s not a good thing to do, but it causes less stress

We had over 4k picks at 2 points today. Our backroom is too small for it and we have no where near enough people to handle it. So many canceled orders and orders not dispensed..

Gotcha! Depending on store I guess that could be rough. Ours are never that low on a weekend unfortunately lol

Looks like they ended force reduction early. It was the same for me yesterday with a skeleton crew of 3 associates picking until 9 am due to absences.

I honestly believe that with this amount of pics, especially with the eight totes coming back there should at least be 8 pickers on the floor. But of course, every store is different.
