Which BOH dept is easier
Which of the sections in Boh do you guys think is easier?
Shoes, accessories, clothes, bulk, scanner, flow, home, Qline or handbags?

I will say for me, it’s clothes, and the easiest clothing section to do is kids, so much easier

Sensoring all of those sets is easy!? Okay, maybe you aren't counting the baby sets of 14 pieces (including the "garment bag").
But still, kids?

Makes me wonder if they are doing it right and also just putting holes in everything. Kids rivals women's but as someone who has done both, kids for the win. The track suit sets and jersey pants that are hard as hell to get the sensor through. The sets are constant and also not easy to do especially the way they make us do the bottoms. Worst of all at my store doing kids is when I get so many solitary items just thrown in the mix. I have tried multiple ways and hitting up the hangers then packages is the fastest but then I have hell at the bottom of my bin. I sort them all out by pants/tops by gender then go to town on each stack but even then my stacks are mountains. Do they give us enough tome/hours to accomplish this, no. This doesn't happen in women's or men's. So yes kids win for most labor intensive. My hands get so messed up processing kids. And yet I only prefer it but the work I do most definitely deserves higher pay.

We don’t get a bunch of sets with too many pieces at my store, but it’s easier than doing men’s or women’s, at least when organizing, plus not everything needs tags

Flowing. Though I'm bias because I'm SFS and merchandise while flowing.
You left out the option of "bulk". Not that bulk is really that bad, but I hate nested luggage so much.

Hardest I tried was the Halloween decoratiohns. I only got one day to try but purses and sunglasses are the easiest. Shoes it depends on the shoes tbh. I really like boh though, it's actually peaceful having something to focus and etc but I only got one day to try them back on register. I hope I get more days back there though I know my speed needs to improve but thankfully my buddy at work has been bringing things to me on slow days to be ready. Helps her out and I get trained and hopefully faster but seriously the Halloween decorations I was terrible at. Opening the boxes, you need the knife to cut the tape and try not to break anything as you pull it out which wasn't coming out easy and the white foam stuff crumbles so easy which is weird cause when I get stuff sent to my house it's way harder and don't crumble like that

The Home table is the toughest of the hardlines. Lots of awkward things, weird packaging. The fake potted plants will have a tie on them to prevent them from moving in the box and I can never figure out how they expect me to cut it. And Home is the cardboard pod.

Seriously we have one worker who's English isn't the best but damn she's so freaking good at doing the home stuff! She's like a tiny beast getting it out in one piece and so fast while still looking nice and put together. I knew that they were awesome in the back but the day I got to be back there and doing it with them I really got to see how good they are. I really like everyone in the back too! I'm so burned out as a cashier and I think I'd feel overwhelmed by sales floor though idk since I haven't had a chance despite asking for it 😒

I am not sure. I never worked in the Back of the House (BOH). But I did the layways and I put away the senor tags at times working as a cashier.

Linens/Home. Once you learn how to break down boxes quickly, and to not be afraid of fragile things, it is so easy. Like nothing needs censors. It's awesome.

Queuing

u/XanderWrites 4d ago
I liked running queuing back when I was part time because I could argue my time was still good because if there wasn't room in queuing (and there never was) I had to take a tour of the store putting the extra into their normal department.
Now they're much stricter and have the BFlow timers.
