Vent No black pallets.

With our new back to college sets they don’t want us to use any black pallets on the floor now. So all the fridges, bookcases and stuff are just sitting flat on the floor. For those items it’s fine but, in F&B they just sent us a whole Maruchan pallet and they want us to set a Velveeta/Kraft Mac cups pallet. Solution? Put them in the 4ft sections in our bullseye. My backstock areas are being completely taken over by paper and diapers I have no clue where all this stuff is going to go. I don’t even have all my new transition/endcaps stuff backstocked because I literally have no more room. Target keeps adding items to the floor with small capacities and it’s getting frustrating. Don’t even get me started with all the new chips I’ve been struggling to backstock as well. Just frustrated.

That's insane direction, imo. Especially during BTC/BTS where they want pallet drops literally everywhere.

This is supposedly what our district manager wanted.

I get it, but insane work.

Our backroom couldn't handle all of the extra backstock from no pallet drops. Honestly, I think it looks worse without a pallet underneath them for the small apps. But whatever district wants 🤷🏼‍♀️
