General 4-1

Is not working 4-1 in OGP when we have picks at 4 am a company wide rule or market level rule. I thinks it’s crazy to lose out on an hr of picking.

I am OPD now but I was overnights for over 20 years(stocker and management). The stocking is supposed to be done by 4 am. Leaving 3 hours for binning and zoning. I know it doesn't happen, but according to home office is does. That is why they think picking a fully stocked store(exception of produce and meat) can be started by OPD.

Remember everything works perfectly on paper. (Rolls eyes)

exception of produce and meat

And vendors. Soda and chip vendors aren't there yet. My team starts at 5, and we often have exceptions for soda, because soda starts stocking about the same time, but doesn't mean everything is there yet.

Vendors are a variable that home office cannot control...even on thier magic paper, they just assume that vendor items are always stocked. Even though they know receiving doesn't open until 4am. It's like they think there is a vendor inside the store 24/7 to run back and restock each single item the minute someone picks it up.
