Is it an real reset or organizing for liquidators?
There was nothing wrong with the way it was laid out! What a waste of payroll

The most retardation move ever this company is burning out their people swap the dept around, strip and wax the floor, do inventory prep, and all other assignments. How about you fat cats gets off your f---in a-- and do something.
What’s impressive is management says set the reset then do bin tickets later! We know how that goes
Why not do bin tickets as you go so an area is actually complete and package pick up can locate some of the stuff!
Wonder how many $5 Coupons will be handed out if the customer waits longer than 5 minutes
They were trying to get new vendors for tools and it looked like they might get a contract but now that contract has gone by the wayside. Now to keep the rumors down the reset is still going on with no product. It will be like other resets that get delayed or cancelled.
Try asking your Regional Leadership or DM. They were told about the reset, and what is being done to get things cleaned up and back in stock. Yes there are vendor issues still being worked out, but all the item status info is on the POG's. Quit being so pessimistic about everything. You are only looking like an idiot. Waaa! Cry me a river! Our store is glad to see an attempt to finally fix it. Open your minds and try to understand why it happened (some CEO/corporate leadership stupid decisions last fall) and that it takes time to fix. Again, your regional leadership already knows about this.
I've seen two stores doing this right now.
Our store did a Tool Reset less than a year before we closed. We spread out POGS and widened the aisles. Mainly because we weren't getting product in. We had a lot of "flex space". Then we were told to remove empty pegs that I OOS weekly. Hundreds of pegs. It was so sad!
Lowes is doing tool resets too--bringing in all those nice new non-Sears Craftsman tools...
I don't mind resets as long as I can complete it start to finish without having to be pulled away for something else. If I'm pulled away to go cashier or cover backroom for an hour or whatever, that's when things go south. I'm sure anyone else who does POGs could relate to this.
One thing I'd like to see in resets is the ability to modify POGs. Since we have so many gaping, empty "holes" (empty pegs and shelf space) we should be able to adjust that so it looks more presentable and less of "we might go out of business".
I've seen spaces on POGs that have never been filled during the entire POG's lifecycle (despite staying on top of OOS) but we can't drop the space on the POG to use for flex or stretch it out to make it look full.
I been wanting to also open a post about this, but does anyone know the point of the reset in tools? I mean to me it seems like a big waste of payroll as mentioned. Instead of focusing payroll on other things (and I can mention a bunch of more important things where that payroll can be used on), its used on a tools reset where so much merchandise is missing and very little of it is going to come...
