The 15-20 clipboards are for each dept. With all this paper going to waist, maybe its time for wfm to invest in a few paper mills. Who needs the trees anyway???

Who came up with this concept???? Should be fired!!!
We are not on SOP yet but are being told everyone loves it. I knew it sounded too good to be true.
First store to go live in FL took 18 weeks to pass certification. Officially this is to focus on what sells and as a result inventory levels drop and you'll have less back stock. I am now a Order Writer with alloted to place orders. Not realistic as we are short staff and constantly have to take phone calls and provide customer service. Anyways, pro is I really only focus on making sure my top sellers are ordered. Everything else is only ordered if a case will go up.
The sh-- I dislike is all the f---ing logs. About 15-20 clipboards. I couldn't care less. My moral is subterranean. I do enough to get by and collect a check. I will not buy into the more work, less labor direction WFM has been running.
In produce its like who gets to the produce first the salesfloor tms or the preproom tms.
Our buyer regularly runs out of product by late Wednesday and we can't get more until Friday, then she regularly runs out of stuff on the weekend and she isn't around to replace it until Monday. Now we have flow catalogs where you have to order stuff 2-3 weeks in advance, so you have 3 orders in the pipeline before you've even had a chance to sell order 1. And whole foods is such a p*ssy, they let the vendors dictate to them what and how much they will take. Then product that belongs in the high end stores winds up in every store....and shrink in many of them. The high end stores have no problem selling through the allocation and could probably sell more, but whole foods tells you to "know your demographic", but allocated a bunch of crap your demographic isn't interested in.
I need you to label all of your clearly labeled boxes.
When you put more focus on the back room instead of the floor you will see the floor fall apart and lose sales. They are trying everything they can to justify cutting more labor.
Empty shelves, empty coolers, empty backrooms. The store will look like you are going out of business or being sold. If you are in Grocery the impact will be minimal compared to produce/meat/seafood. I cannot speak for specialty or pfds.
Produce seems the be the most affected team. Three TLs walked out in our region over the absurdity of the expectations.
All of the SOP drama will go on as your store's sales slide south and you begin to realize they have created more work for you to do to make up for less sales in the store.
It means leadership just walks around checking for initial marks on clip boards all day and empty shelves bc of constantly late trucks. Also regional libt4rds incessantly whining about Trump
Get ready for empty shelves.....
SOP: means free pizza slices for all hourly TMs.
