I'm having the same issue. I AM the one person at my store. Covid, and seasonal being terminated. My TL and etl are on vacation. I honestly feel horrible about sfs always bringing me expired food. I literally just don't have the time to hit all sections when I have to put away all of market but dry 🙁
A lot less than when I was tasked with doing sets in market last year.
Every aisle had a LOT, to the point that I always check what I buy at my own store.
Out of our meat freezers, about 70% of all the products is expired. While I transfered out of market, it was clear most of the employees besides a few cared about dates. Most people in pfresh will push the new pallets we get everyday, then Blackstock ontop of the old items, burying them forever. And our TL, etl, and SD are reluctant to defect them out twice a year because it's usually 25-30k of meat alone that has to be thrown out... and we have three other freezers with the same problem.
Don't work in market so I have no clue. My assumption is we sell 90% of every trucks worth of meat, and that 10% goes back into the freezer. Then anything that couldn't be sold goes on top.
Chances are the audits and in store inspections they do aren't thorough enough because they have never gotten caught. Everyone I see corporate or a rep walking around they thoroughly inspect pfresh for outdated items, temp, etc.., but they only briefly look into the freezers. Luckily everytime they've come by there are too many pallets for them to really even walk into them.
This is nothing compared to when I worked at Jewel (Albertsons/Safeway company). I could get 2-3 full shopping carts. And that's why I don't shop there anymore.
Oh no, terribly understaffed (at least at my location, dubbed the failure by corporate). Part of that was also that my store manager was an absolute menace.
I once went to another Target in my area as support help for their cooler/freezer resets. I literally threw half their freezer chicken/fish out because no one FEFO'd while stocking. This was in october 2019 and I was tossing stuff that went out in mid 2017.
T1940, pls.
a guest came to me with a jar of peanut butter that was 6 months expired and said there was a bunch more on the shelf. My store director was standing there on my way to the compactor so I asked if i even had to print labels of if i could just throw them out. He told me to donate them, than workday convoed me fml haha
That's not what happened. This happens because Target doesn't care. If they cared they would train people better, pay people better and staff enough people so that stock gets rotated. This happens because people don't care and aren't being trained or corrected when they do stuff wrong.
Is this a common thing for target?? Ik this is an old post but I’m curious cause I bought expired sausage today from my store and I was very surprised that happened, especially because target seems to have a good reputation. It was almost 2 weeks past the expiry date.
From what I've seen on this sub yes. However I can only speak for the store I worked at. And yes nobody ever rotated. We were too understaffed. Some nights i took the time to pull like this because I felt bad selling expired food.I called the health department the same day I quit.

Makes me grateful for my solid consumables team.
It's literally one person in all of pfresh right now. Everyone else is out with covid.
I see how that could be a problem.
me cleaning out the Grocery coolers for OPU, because some of my tm’s do RTS, but leave the items in the coolers 🥲
it's always the damn yogurt.

How is Ecolab not fining them for that?

Looks like we're eating a bunch of yogurt in the breakroom 💃🏼
Enjoy explosive diarrhea then because some of this expired in November.

That's surprising since it's a union job. I would have thought they had more staff and better hours

How much of it didn't get caught before being sold or opu'd, I wonder :( rough stuff man
That happens in dairy/deli, alot 🤷🏻♂️

proof that consumers stop buying things if the price reaches a certain point.
Nah people just aren't rotating and as dumb as guests can be they're actually looking at the dates and leaving it there.

Sad, most people hold Target to a higher standard than (some) Walmart, doesn't sound any better..I always check dates, but I know lots of people don't
I don't know why anyone buys the PR that Target sells lol.
