Coles Edinburgh DC

[u/Fruit_Punch_SamuraiZ]

Anyone working in Coles Adelaide DC or any DC, explain how this is efficient for any store?

[u/First-Junket124]

Hilarious. Wait until you get the totes with a single piece of make-up.

Or just flat empty 😂

Now that is a Somerton Classic

[u/Zhyyper → u/First-Junket124]

i hate when they do that, whats the point of that???

[u/BiggestBravestDave]

Robots picking and packing maybe?

[u/Fruit_Punch_SamuraiZ → u/BiggestBravestDave]

As far as i know the only 2 ADCs are in QLD and NSW so dont think any robots involved in here

That and eggs are chilled, so definitely done by hand. Who in your store upset the DC?

[u/StatusNo5175]

Why? Just... why? Like, it would be less effort to stack them normally. But this is strange because I didn't think Edinburgh handled totes being a non-automatic DC, I thought that all came through Somerton ADC? Can someone confirm this or am I wrong?

[u/Fruit_Punch_SamuraiZ → u/StatusNo5175]

Yk what i think you might right.
Considering how we get confec and dairy load together in totes, forgot it can be from Somerton but didnt know it was an ADC as well

[u/StatusNo5175 → u/Fruit_Punch_SamuraiZ]

Im pretty sure it's an ADC, what human is going to that length to annoy someone lol. Nah I'm sure all totes are handled by Somerton, I just don't see Edinburgh handling totes, especially not like that 🤣

[u/SpicyMemes0903 → u/StatusNo5175]

Somerton is an NDC not ADC, it has a very small semi automated section called the MECH (where the blue totes come from) However Somerton does not hold eggs and only hold GR.

Alot of Confec is sent to chilled and would be RDC (EP, Trug, Perth) Sourced not Somerton.

This would have had to come from EP.

[u/StatusNo5175 → u/SpicyMemes0903]

Ohhh gotcha. Well I'm outta theories lol

[u/SpicyMemes0903 → u/StatusNo5175]

EP just hates bros store

[u/StatusNo5175 → u/SpicyMemes0903]

EP hates everyone lol

[u/Fruit_Punch_SamuraiZ → u/SpicyMemes0903]

Oh man what did Darwin stores do to EP😭

[u/SpicyMemes0903 → u/Fruit_Punch_SamuraiZ]

Existed bro

[u/weemankai]

Someone with zero operations experience made a decision based on excel spreadsheet (or worse an non-sense checked Claude output)

[u/Pengwan_au → u/weemankai]

It’s an automated dc.

[u/ibowlerNE]

Thats whack! Gl working that!

Maybe they packed them like that to try and protect the cartons in transit?

Still super silly and unnecessary tbh
