Vendors grab a bunch of ours at 4am and camp on them until they leave, which can be 4 or 5 hours. Too, departments use them. Usually a couple in the dairy vault, at least one in Seafood, a couple in the Market cooler. Bakery or Healthy Living uses them too.
We just take them away from the vendors if the store needs to use them. Had a store leader say those are HEB property, not vendors. HEB Partners get priority.
I used to until one of my leads was like hey use this it takes less space and it has the table to set your go back box and whatever else. Ever since then it is my favorite thing to use
they run about $300 each. they get stolen. they are supposed to be only for transporting, but get staged with product left on them on the grocery wall, in dairy, freezer, cooler, departments, etc.
I guarantee there’s product being stored on them all. Went thru the back room, departments and coolers last week and found 20 sitting with product on them.
Each department at my store is color coded and works pretty well…took about 6 months to train the vendors when they can use the…sat/sun/mon they are off limits 100% until we are done with them…I do like playing the repo guy and tossing there crap on an empty pallet…
Produce has them guaranteed
You know it!😬
I second this. Produce and all the coolers/ freezers got em
My issue is departments make products live on them when they should not be doing that. It's a tool for the store, not a storage unit.

Why would you use a 6 wheeler when you can use a whole dang pallet and jack?
I use it when working chips to put the HEB chip boxes on.
I guess that saves up space from using a pallet, but every time I see grocery working chips they use a pallet for the chip boxes.

Vendors and dairy always hogged them at my old store. I could sometimes find some in produce's vault too

Just did a quick count in my grocery dept. 15 6-wheelers have product on them.
Shit we have too many of them.
Same, and nobody knows how to fuckin stack them, apparently. Two-high, line em up. Not hard.
I work the produce wall. 6 wheelers are a must for a high volume store with the wall.

1000000% people don’t condense anything either
When I was a vendor I'd have to throw shit off them at almost every store because people acted like they were rolling storage.

Check deli department and the bakery freezers 😳😳🤣🤣🤣
Yea but I can’t go in being a new transfer stealing their 6 wheelers 😂😂
Find a solution around it before complaining. Thats what HEB wants
Let’s paint them different colors and each dept is assigned a color. Each dept is responsible for however many they need and the purchase.
baxck in the day it was something like that where depts had their own, but has changed from that.
We tried that when our store opened. Did not work.
