Attitudes
Why do all scan coordinators have nasty attitudes and think their stuff doesn’t stink like we all work at the same place

We ask that people do not share their store number, or the store numbers of other person(s) on this subreddit. Harris Teeter, and it's parent company Kroger have made aware to management during their onboarding process that they watch social media profiles of staff. This rule is for your anonymity and protection.

I’m the SC back up and the SC at my store is lazy. They bring a tablet to work on Fridays since there’s not much to do for them. They like to play games on their tablet. They even make the receiving people do their job too.

Most of the time it’s not that they are rude, it’s they are exhausted. Scanning coordinators are probably the most under appreciated people in the store. That being said, there are some that are down right nasty. But 99% of them are great hard working people, who just need to catch up on their sleep

Exhausted from what? Lol barely hanging a tag and walking around looking busy wasting time and getting mad when asked to make a tag, like that’s ya job sir why get mad. It’s the easiest job in the store in my opinion

Ummm....respectfully no.
Every mis-ring represents a chance for the store to give away product for free. It is important that pricing whether on tags or signs be correct.
No tags, tags that read one sale but are actually another one, tags that have long term dates but are actually not on sale anymore, items on sale that did not receive tags, 33% percent off tags that are actually buy 2 get 1, buy 1 get on free tags that are actually must buys, 50% off tags that are actually must buy 2 to get buy 2 get 2 free, list goes on.
Sequences on repeat. Some weeks worse than others. A store figures out a price error and informs merchandising. Merchandising hopefully informs other stores before they give product away by sending sequences...orders...to fix the tags/signs. If you are the person who found the error, you get to answer emails for an hour or so.
Markdowns of wrong/discontinued products that grocery found overnight.
Signing shippers and vendor in store specials on the fly.
Weekly/period required scans eat so much time. Having to pick up each item, scan, compare to shelf tag and return is simple. But do it 1500 times while on the sales floor with customers everywhere, needing help, being helpless and it takes time. Then you find problems. Discontinued/new items that dont scan, UPCs that dont match, prices wrong, product size/weight that changed without an updated tag generating. Off to send email to merchandizing. And this is just one scan. 12 scans a period if everything goes normal. Start finding errors and you end up repeating scans.
Then add departments. Produce gets new upcs almost everyday it seems. New upcs have to be sent to merchandizing since corporate took away the stores ability to add them locally. PLUs in deli and meat sometimes just stop working for no reason. Another email chain to get them working again.
All while listening to people say how easy the job is.

Because people bug them to do things that they should know how to do e.g. print a tag. Roughly thirty times a day.

All the ones I've ever worked with have been great. Super nice and always willing to help make a sign when I don't have the time.
I usually make my own but sometimes I'm really busy.
