    The shelf levels are aligned optimally for this sort of face up. It's a lot harder to do this when the shelves are spaced further apart as the bags are loose. Most chip sections in other stores around the world are not like the one at the store shown here. His work is beautiful

    Last time I tried that, I got pull to the AP room for going too slowly stocking shelves and was given a poor performance for a whole year. Your grocery store must love your employees, I’m jealous.

      Moving faster is something I never consider for the 2+ years I worked for Walmart. Thank you for wise sage wisdom ascended wizard you bestowed upon me. Disregarding the unrealistic time expectations of stocking a 6 meter in 25 minutes, breaking down boxes at the speed of light and when face with overstock it’s considered CAP 2 fault. The obvious answer was to simply “work faster”

    I wish my isle looked like this, but it's hard when ur boss puts 3 people working on Saturday noon (one on deli and one on main register) and I am responsible for every single isle, fruit, and veggies isle, running to help on register, i don't have even time to eat, we aren't even allowed to go to our 30 min lunch break, break is max. 10 mins... and my boss always watches cameras, just screaming at us next day for not getting all work done. We also have to clean the whole store, take care for trashes...and we stay 1 hour after closing to make store look nice, and brining everything to front... I just just quit this job. I am everyday on verge of crying.. plus rude customers... :) what a fun world to live in

    I wish my store here in the US looked even .0001% this good. We could close our store down for two months just to fix the shelves and still not look so nice. Severe understaffing and employees who don't care are the problems. It can take me literally two 8-hour shifts to fix one aisle.

      @@CalvinBiefeld That’s a decent size load right there. I have the can aisle at my store and have around that most nights but will also have around 280-330 unit trucks as well. Those size trucks are fun to try to get done.
      Of course the eight hour shift (plus overtime sometimes) time frame does not account for stocking alone as other tasks must be completed such as:
      Working backstock
      Checking numbers (inventory)
      Breaking down/separating the truck
      Facing/conditioning the aisle.
      Those three sections alone can account for 2 to 2 1/2 hours of my shift give or take. In other words you don’t purely stock a single aisle for the whole eight hours.
      We’ve been short handed ever since the pandemic started-a long time to be short-handed-so it’s a very tall order to maintain this standard of consistency night in and night out without eventually becoming burnt out. That’s what I strive to avoid so I can do better at my job.

    I dont understand this is incredibly easy. I work at Piggly Wiggly and I have only started working there for a month so far. I'd like to know how he deals with the inconvenient side of fronting though, for me i always have a hard time with cans that don't have a rounded edge top because if you even breath on it it will just fall right off the can you put it on top of, It's like fucking playing Jenga with yourself and you're losing. Plus you could have a perfectly straight shelf of stuff but if the total width of all the items aren't either the same or less than the width of the shelf then you either have gaps or you've got cans or other stuff that has a single item that isn't quite perfectly at the edge of the shelf. Everyone including my supervisors/managers tells me im doing a great job but I'm a perfectionist and this shit pisses me off.😖

      You can only understand if you aren't seeing it in the perspective of a person who does the same thing. The spacing between shelves makes it easy for the guy in the video, he can do it fast and efficiently. At many other stores, this wouldn't be possible, you'd have to spend your entire shift getting the bags to stand up right and next to each other since there wouldn't be an option to wedge them between the top and bottom of the shelf, then customers taking them or the product getting restocked would ruin the look entirely, unlike at the store shown in video
