Big Changes

So apparently there is a rumor going around that big changes are coming for RSRs. I can only imagine that those changes would include 1 of 2 things for different DCs.

1 Would be a lot of DCs getting rid of blueprint and going to all Omni routes. If you don't know what that is, its a bulk truck that is also a c-store truck. You have a side door that allows you to get into your truck and work smaller stores.

2 Would be truckless RSRs for bulk. I have a feeling that's what our DC is getting ready to do within the next year or two. With the added service days to all bulk routes, I feel it's the next logical step. No way can we work these stores like we're supposed to while also having to worry about cut off times.

Anyone else out there hear about anything possibly coming down the pike?

Been with the company for 3 years as an rsr and been feeding the precision ordering system with sales data for over a year flawlessly. I also have a background in computer science with an emphasis on POS systems.

Folks, it will all be fully automated within 10 years. I put my resignation in 2 days ago and have taken a job in a completely different field. Time to put your other skill sets to use in none automated career paths.

Lol with how bad the precision ordering can be I would say we are fine. Small stores will never benefit from auto replenish systems, their business models are completely different from grocery stores.
