I grew up in the USA – taking grocery stores for granted. After traveling to different countries & watching videos like this – i am amazing by American grocery stores and will not ever take them for granted!!! Thank you for this episode!!!!!!!
Idk how you would even organize a pallet based on a store’s aisles without 75% of them collapsing before making it into the trailer
You can easily note the difference in stock levels and general availability of products in grocery stores during Bidenomics, as compared to grocery stores during my entire life…garbage administration!!!! GARBAGE!!!!!!!’
Great job and great, on-spot video. Though you focus on grocery stores, we at Home Depot deal with the very same issues. The Inventory Management Software (In our case – "Sidekick" and "Smartlist") is woefully inadequate in reflecting true, actual product "on-hand", as shrewd customers check online before entering our store. They will be "armed" with on-line data showing our particular store has "x" amount of a product in stock and yet, we have to embarrassingly admit we don't have or, can't find it.
This is usually due to points you mention such as theft/shrink, damaged product the system has not processed yet and, very over looked, simply misplaced. (Or, stock that was simply misplaced in overhead "bin's" and was inadvertently knocked behind other product in these overhead "bins/bays" so that the employee cannot physically see where the product listed as "in-stock" actually is.)
IMHO, with experiences at other retailers who use a "back-room" system which, works much better for inventory control, H.D. is a "warehouse store" meaning, there is not any backroom. Any supposed 'stock on hand', per the inventory system, is "suppossed" to be directly in overhead locations directly above the normal stock shelf spot. (The "home".)
You think the grocery Inventory Management Software is bad? Look at the H.D. system – it's pure chaos and, woefully inaccurate. To those who like to shop there, please give the "regular" employee there trying to sincerely assist you, a break. They are honestly trying to help you, in spite of all the aftermentioned.😮
Oh my, now I’m hungry 😅
Human jobs will mosty be gone soon due to AI, automation, etc.
These large supermarkets … do you know if they write their own in house inventory management system or is it farmed out?
At 11:00; what happens when horrible stores change their planogram which makes it awkward to customers to find stuff and b must throw off the automation system at the warehouse?
The illusion of choice, 2 political parties but 20 types of peanut butter. Smh
I hate when there are 10+ kinds of Triscuits but they're out of the Original. They do this in part to get more shelf space more than to sell the extra varieties. Same goes for many other products like cereal, soda, paper products, and shampoos. It's one reason I like ALDI'S…
I will watch this guy teach me about anything. I’m like “Groceries stores let’s get it can’t wait”
2:19 that is a picture of what used to be a Whole Foods at 5880 Centre Ave, Pittsburgh, Pa 15206
The Kroger DC in Aurora CO is one of the least efficient I've dealt with. Tolleson AZ Kroger is the other.
thank you so much. I wanted to understand the case, and it really helps.
This makes me want to play factorio something fierce
This man called it "Kroger's", and that calls all of his research into question.
I work in a produce department in a massive grocer, and we have to count inventory daily because of how perishable everything is
I came across your channel today. I live in the Glenwood Springs, CO area. There are so many references to the area in your videos. I love it!
Hey. We are fiberglass mesh company. I hope we can do business in the future

один из лучших каналов по теме
as someone who lives in a rural mountain town in colorado like mentioned in the video, it'll never not hit me with a wave of amazement when I pick up a banana as a ski snack
Fun fact: "Organic food" can be called organic under certain percentage qulifications (for specifics look it up but…)
ACTUAL Organic Food farms, had to go 3 years with clean soil of pesticides-non gmos- making it….well organic!!!
plus one other thing but i forgot that..(ノ;//=ヮ=//)ゝ🚁👮
(FDA)
What genre are these kinds of videos? I'm interested in these and the how busineses started and how some made it while others didn't kinds of videos.
Im gonna follow to show my support!
I know supermarkets of yesteryear about the size of a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment today supermarkets about the size of a small Warehouse
wen mama tachibana decides to open her own grocery store, itz over fo da other supermarkets.
dey won't be able to compete.
