So...I heard today that we're starting Key Retailing Wave 1 in the bakery department finally. I know other depts. have dealt with this crap for a long time.

 

So what should I expect in wave 1? It sounds like right now just a lot of labeling of dumb crap like THIS IS A BREAD SLICER, THIS IS A COOLER, etc.

 You have to label EVERYTHING.

This is the oven

This is the oven door

This is the oven door handle

This is the control panel for the oven

This is the bakers' table

This is the top of the baker's table

This is one of the legs of the bakers' table

This is the floor

This is the ceiling

This is an air vent

This is the phone

This is 15 channel cart

This is a 12 channel cart

This is a 20 channel cart

This is the proofer

This is the left door of the proofer

This is the handle on the left door of the proofer

This is the right door of the proofer

This is the handle of the right door of the proofer

I could go on indefinitely.

Wow, really? So that is what you would waste time doing just labeling everything??

 Yep. Right before I quit Kroger as a manager, we were in the midst of Wave I in Produce. I was short timing it, so I got, well, "creative". I labeled EVERYTHING. Phone, handset (speak into this, hear from here), wall, floor. I must have wasted about $100 worth of signs, and since we were on an interim store manager, no one was keeping track of anything I was doing. That was fabulous.
