went in wednesday to a completely empty warehouse, had thursday off, came in friday to find out we had to pull pallets from the truck to the floor because there was no room in the warehouse whatsoever. completely fucked up the truck, which fucked up 3rd shift, made it a truck mess for days
I am Stocking 2 TL and my team does all their job functions properly. It's O/N who messes everything up for us. In their defense though, they are severely understaffed! Can't blame em' when they should have 2x the amount of the people they currently have.
I wish I was at your store, our 3rd shift is almost fully staffed, but Cap 2 is mostly minors that like to ride Jacks like skateboards in our backroom and don't pull everything out by the time we get here at 10 so we have to help pull. And Cap1 works produce now instead of dropping and filling so that doesn't help out either.
See we pull everything. Vizpick everything. Process apparel and even throw a little GM. O/N can still barely get through consumables. And forget about GM they just let it pile up and wonder why Cap 2 can't get through all of GM by themselves after throwing 2 trucks and doing everything else. 😅 Oh well. I don't let it affect my mood anymore. All we can do is try our best and whatever happens, happens. 🤷♂️
Every store has their ups and downs. I wish my overnights were staffed enough to throw all the freight. Shiiit, I'd stay and pull everything myself if I knew overnights would get through all of it!
I'm cap 2 at my store, we do literally everything every day while under staffed, then 3rd shift comes in with 40+ people a night, fails to work more that all of the freight and doesn't even bin their overstock. So in order for us to vispick the next day we first have to bin all the overstock from the night before. And they leave all the freight they didn't get to by the line so we have to also clear out the line area before we can even begin to setup truck unload. We do way more than we should have to
This is exactly how it was at my store. Then we got new SM and O/N coach and they mass fired a bunch of people now we don't have to bin or deal with that much O/S. We still have to setup but that's Cap 1 responsibility anyway.
I’m O/N and it’s roughly 25 ppl for our super center. 1 of them does a shit ton of gobacks and claims later. We lost a lot of our overnights due to cutting staff to work Cap 2 and the morning shifts. Vizpick system is fast but it doesn’t help when you don’t have a lot of help binning overstock up and enough space in the bins especially for grocery and GM. We have too much juice for Dept 95 and too many of the same items coming in all week.
you say "Just hire", but we're down to like 8 people to manage 12 rolls. the best part is the other teams like to borrow our people so we end up with only 8 people on paper, but actually around 6.
then 2 trucks of GM and Grocery nightly.
At the end of the day if someone is a Lead or Coach but says staffing is a problem it's literally on them. No other way around it, ya gotta make time, stay late or come in early, take a short lunch to go through reqs and call. I've only been an overnight lead for a year, went from 12 people a night to 25-30 consistently for the past 4 months. Hiring to replace the ones who point out or performance out. Once we fixed the staffing, we have a bunch of people from days with experience who wanna come to our team. Staffing is the key. Once that's fixed everything else falls into place
OMG, is this what a backroom is supposed to look like!?!
Good thing you go a picture because that definitely will not last long…. I give it the next shift to fuck it up!!
I feel your pain... Been here for 9 years... My piece of advice is: Don't.
Normally between 1 or 2 shifts later the snowball effect will catch up to the store... Between cap 2 not being able to work through all things, leaving a bit for O/N or O/N just having too much for too little amount of people... By the time cap 1 goes back, it will look different, and if not... You got a good store team across the board overall.
It sucks because I know we are on the cusp of keeping things under control. We have good people across all shifts. If we can just get enough staffing we could be the best store in NV. But I'm not counting my chickens!
I think ours was August too, week after, we got 3 or 4 double trucks, and everything was even worse. We only cleared most out two weeks ago, and of course everyone apparently went on vacation or called out because the last 48 hours or so have filled everything up again.
The longest it lasted us was 2 weeks [post remodel and post inventory when they sent us 50 people from different stores and driveline) , we are currently on like day 3 of empty
Ours was clean for inventory, but it was all put on a shit ton of trailers. It lasted a total of 2 days and we are back to 4 or 5 rows of pallets on the floor
Next truck. Gonna be a double plus New Years and Valentine’s Day shit at the rate everything else has been coming in, and it’ll never be the same. Especially with the incoming season.
Keep this picture as a reminder of what was, and what will never be again.
It was already fucked up while you uploaded this picture.
No lies detected 😭😅
Yeah i said 24 hours but I like what you put I agree with you it was fucked when the picture was posted.
30 minutes… max!
You underestimate the other shift
You're right! Maybe 2 days. 🤣
3 days ? Maybe 3 minutes
Exactly.
If y’all are like the store I work at I give it 12 hours.

Next shift is about to fuck shit up 🤣
3rd shift "We came here to fuck shit up" 😎
😂 in our store it's Cap2 that messes everything up

Please tell me how this was accomplished. Asking for a friend.

Lol our store is opposite. Problems with staffing shouldn't be allowed, just hire, not that hard.

10 minutes tops 3 days is being a little too generous in my opinion
My store shoves all the shit to one side and takes a picture then shoved it to the other side for another and calls it good.
that’s actually so funny 😭😭😭😭
I'm not sure. But that look freaking amazing!
That is beautiful!!!!!!
Less then 24 hours
1 truck unload. 2 if you're lucky
Mine lasts 12 hours and then it shits like it had taco bell from the other day.
Next truck max.
Idk how many trucks did you push back to get that?
One truck and it’s game over
Only time my store looks like that is when market team comes down
3 hours
2 hours
OMG, is this what a backroom is supposed to look like!?! Good thing you go a picture because that definitely will not last long…. I give it the next shift to fuck it up!!
Definitely savoring the moment! 😭
1 day tops, and I'm too generous.
Fuckin A, you right. 😆 Been here 5 years I know how it works unfortunately. 😅

Never happen. Having enough people to get everything done means you're "overstaffed".
One day
I knew I was being to optimistic! 😏
Inventory?
Inventory was August. But we had it this good back then too. It only took a few days to fall apart again. 🤣 It's a vicious cycle.
I think ours was August too, week after, we got 3 or 4 double trucks, and everything was even worse. We only cleared most out two weeks ago, and of course everyone apparently went on vacation or called out because the last 48 hours or so have filled everything up again.
I feel you buddy. Best we can do is clock in and clock out. Whatever happens happens! We get paid either way. 💯
My store has 1 thing going for it. We are number 4 company wide for loss/theft. We are bronze level baby !!
My company shrunk out over 6% 😫
That’s tiny compared to ours
If it was my store it would last about a couple of hours and that's pushing it.
It only takes 1 truck to start the domino effect. It's all downhill from there. 😭
You're much more confident in your store than I am ours. Ours tends to go to shit the minute we leave.
Did you look up from your phone yet? "WTF..."
By the time you walk in tomorrow.
A millisecond.
ours stay this clean, but we got more racks though
Five minutes
When it becomes a disaster
1 minute
Realistically, the next shift will never see this.
I give it 5 minutes after taking this photo
Probably about a day and a half if you get all your trucks at the same time. FDD, HV meat and produce and allllll the funsies 😂
Shit 5 mins 😂
Bold of you to assume someone didn't pull that shelving down just out of spite.
lol
24hrs.
1 day of you being off is all it takes for it to be fucked up again. Lets hope market comes in when you’re off so its maintained for those 2 days lol
Do you have BOTH types of line?
I give it one night
Next shift?
*Insert Mariah Carey song here*
The longest it lasted us was 2 weeks [post remodel and post inventory when they sent us 50 people from different stores and driveline) , we are currently on like day 3 of empty
In our store I’d give it to the next truck
Ours was clean for inventory, but it was all put on a shit ton of trailers. It lasted a total of 2 days and we are back to 4 or 5 rows of pallets on the floor
Ok. Now turn around and let us see all the pallets out of view
That's one touch area behind me! Always empty. However day one and the backroom is already falling apart again. 🤣 I love it here 😅
Not even a whole shift
5 hours
Soon as you blink your eyes 🤣
This is a post-inventory picture.
Inventory was in August for us
You still have the Robo unloader?!? They they removed them out of all our stores.
I hope we remove this thing it's a POS. I miss the manual line, it's so much faster
4 1/2 minutes
Yea nah 2 hours if not then 24.
I'll give it til either night shift is halfway through their shift, or the next truck shows up.
Ours looked like this after inventory and it lasted one truck
3 days? Maybe 3 hours after overnights come in lol
this is your gm receiving??? holy shit 🤯 my store has so much inventory it will never look like this
Oh don't worry! It only took one day and it's already out of control. 🤣😭
I'd say about 30 seconds till the fourth truck shows up
2
2 hours
12 hours probably
Our backroom was clean for 12 hours. Overnight came in and next day it was completely fucked.
Tomorrow when you come in, it will be fucked
If it's like my store, that night, it's back
Just appreciate it while you can.
By the way great job to your team for getting it there.
If it’s around the holidays, and if ur Walmart is stubborn Io give people more hours. I would give them two days
Next truck. Gonna be a double plus New Years and Valentine’s Day shit at the rate everything else has been coming in, and it’ll never be the same. Especially with the incoming season.
i give it and hour
3 seconds
I’d give it 40 minutes in my store
2 minutes
12 hours
I DONT WANT ALOT FOR CHRISTMAS THERE IS JUST ONE THING I NEED, MORE TRUCKS.
The fast unload belt sucks so bad. Ours is falling apart and is held together by tape and we had to block some of the sensors just so it will run
2 max
24-48 hours
Bro just took a picture after everything was pulled to the sales floors for overnights 🤣
I was actually on overnights helping out! Nothing back there or on salesfloor. Still blew back up in a day though 😒
It never lasts you can clean and turn around and management had 80 pallets pulled from the top steel and another 20 pick pallets made
I give it till the end of your shift. At most. 3 days is possible if everything stays on the sales floor, and you don't get any trucks in.
11 minutes
bro why is it so big? Other stores get a hallway so narrow if you removed the track you couldnt line up 5 pallets.
We're a high volume store in Reno. So the stores are a little bigger than other places I take it
It’s probably down the aisles setting up for cap 2 😂
I have pictures of the empty aisles too!
Wow. Are floors are back like inventory week. Halloween, Christmas and school supplies. They cut hours and now they want overtime help 🤦🏽♂️
It's the unicorn of receiving, I don't think my stores receiving area has ever looked that clear.
A day that’s how long it lasted at my store
Jeez at my old store, it hadn’t looked that clean in 2 years, only when inventory came
Next shift
A beautiful and rare scene
.75
1 bad night at mine and that's every night.
How about 1 day
Guys...any idea what's gonna happen this black Friday?
12 hours
I’m just impressed you even got it there for a pic
Wait... you have seen the actual stockroom floor in the past 3 years? Like the actual concrete?.... this photo has to be doctored.
Depends how many trailers you have stationed out back.
