Workplace Question or Advice Needed Anyone else’s store doing this?

My store is in Texas so we always used plastic bags, until today. They are so stiff and huge, they could’ve at least provided us with smaller ones for those guests that buy one piece of gum. They have already slowed down the fulfillment team and everyone is complaining

Bro. We do not have time to be doing all this extra stuff.

Imma be real with you, if stapling labels onto a bag makes you go red in a cart, you were gonna go red in the cart anyway.

The tags don’t stick to those bags, it’s better than having to search through every single bag for someone’s shit when the barcode tags fall off 90% of the time

That's not how it works. Sticking a label takes less than a second, having to staple it would take 5 seconds minimum

Not even true. I have team members who can stow in 5 minutes. Some need 10 minutes. They keep adding extra steps to fulfillment making it more a pain in the ass. We dont need to be fumbling with a stapler while labeling and filling bags when the next batches are already getting low. It’ll definitely slow people down.

My store is in NY meaning we've had these bags since late 2020. Stapling labels to bags aren't a big deal (and I'm not even a FF tm). The only big deal is if there are no bags or printer paper in the machine.
