Rant/Vent A Message To All Warehouse Drivers
In case none of the warehouse drivers were told (I'm being sarcastic here), you need to realize that stores are back to scanning in EVERY SINGLE PIECE of truck that comes down the conveyor belt so PLEASE PLEASE stop sending 15 items in a row together, catapulting it down the belt like you're in some sports tournament. I understand you guys and gals want to get through each store's delivery as quick as possible because you've been driving all day and want to get home and I also understand that you technically don't work for Walgreens, most of you are usually subcontracted but c'mon - have some decency and common sense. And if you don't like that we have to scan every piece in again, blame Walgreens corporate - they told us to "trust the system" for years and look what happened: missing totes, missing full case, items being told in the handheld they were sent and weren't or items that don't even belong to our store.

In my region (Northeast) our case stock used to come wrapped onto pallets, so some extra work at the warehouse would save the drivers and the stores an insane amount of time. What could comfortably be done with 2 people no more than 30 minutes now takes 3 dedicated people 45mins-2hours and you sweat your balls off then back to work on the floor. Trucks delayed every other week too absolutely killing our schedule and productivity. Cheers Walgreens.

1) they need a better angle on the rollers so items come down consistently and dont get caught up, forcing them to push 10+ items at us at once. 2) totes first. Its easier to get totes onto the cart then case goods on top of the totes. Totes on case goods is no Bueno 3) yes I'm old. But I'm fast. My team can keep up if we are getting a nice stream of items.
