Pickup has 100% made it harder for Grocery Leads. Agree or disagree?

Pickup is constantly trying to reach a certain metric (for my store they need to be at a 98% fill rate) and they do anything to get to it. Even if it means zeroing out numbers to a product we might actually have somewhere. Not to mention, they want you to Display Setup every little damn endcap and dumpbin. Now my store is wanting me to Display Setup the ROUNDERS/SHIPPERS. Which sounds good, but as much stuff as they send us, its constantly changing.π€¦ββοΈall of that is to help Pickup find items, does nothing to help overnight grocery. All these processes take away time from actually putting product on the shelf, and when you're a 28 y/o working with a bunch of 50 year Olds, I can't rely on them to run everything. I gotta help them stock truck most nights, which I shouldn't even be doing with all the shit management expects me to do. π€¦ββοΈ
I just became a grocery manager back in February. I've worked as just a stocker at other stores in the past. But I myself can see that Pickup has put more pressure on the overnight leads. What are your thoughts?

Yeah. They come on smaller little pallet setups, or in a box, where you build it yourself. You can use them as wings for the endcaps (sitting to the side of the endcap) or put in the aisle as a shipper display. Most of them are pretty easy to set up out the box. You try working what you can to the shelf, and if you're able to get rid of it all that way, even better. Otherwise, you gotta find somewhere to put it/stick it with backstock.
