Day 4: Sesshoumaru Headcanons

Sesshoumaru might’ve grown as a person and come to realize why InuYasha is the master of Tetsusagia, but Sesshoumaru is still bitter about the meido basically being put in the Tensagia as a ‘test’.

Despite Sesshoumaru being a Lord he isn’t the owner of an estate or castle, that is very much a human practice. He simply see’s the land as his if there is no one who can defeat him on it.

He wasn’t born with his poison abilities and during the off time between his father’s death and pursuing the Tetsusagia he was mastering this ability by claiming the powers of a possible kimodo dragon demon or something of that nature cause every inu pup has to be successful against a dragon demon at one point cept inupapa I guess.

The Mokomoko was once part of his tail. When an Inu beast’s tail grows too long that it could become a hindrance in battle it is cut and turned into a weapon to be used by the human form and stores energy.

Tried my hand at doing some “reboot” designs of the original starter Pokemon! These designs all have a basis in Japanese mythology, to suit the setting of the first game. Too much fun!

How to Condition / Merchandise Products at Krogers (An Instruction Manual)

What is Conditioning?

Conditioning is an employee making the products Krogers sells in order to feed the human spirit look more appealing to the eye of the shopper. Products are more likely to sell if they are set up to be seen.

Why Do We Condition?

Because a majority of our customers are Mountain Dew drinking hicks that don’t know how to read, so in order to sell to them the product must be quite visible. If it is not visible you will waste precious time that could be used in other areas helping out one of these customers who will 90% of the time be irritated with you because it’s all your fault they don’t know how to navigate the store. Also if you don’t condition your manager will make it known that they are upset with the aisle’s lack of conditioning even if it wasn’t your assigned duty. All they will know is you are a failure of a human being who doesn’t deserve a paycheck.

How To Become the Greatest Conditioner of All Time?

It’s simple really. You can’t be perfect without understanding the flaws in others, so just remember F L A W (Facing, Logo, Accuracy, WallSoGoodTrumpWouldBeJealous).

When conditioning an aisle it’s good to go just one shelf section at a time. Starting from the top to the bottom as you work your way through it pulling forward items towards the back to allow the products to have their 15 minutes of fame before they expire in the back of someone’s cabinet or fridge. For every item you need to take in consideration FACINGS. What is facing? It’s how much space that item takes up on the shelf. The beginning of a facing starts at the item’s tag and ends right before the tag of a different item. In order to create the illusion that our store has a bunch of product in stock it’s important to fill every facing. For example let’s say Manwhich sloppy joe sauce has 27 can sized spots between its tag and the tag of the Kroger rip off sloppy joe sauce. If you have at least 27 cans on the shelf then you need to pull 27 cans forward in a straight line. Now this next part is very important, so please keep this in mind when thinking of your facings. If you DO NOT have enough product to fill all the facings then the start of the line begins at the tag and goes until you run out. DO NOT put all the products in the middle of the space thinking it looks more professional, because if you think this you are wrong and you are stupid. It doesn’t look good. DO NOT make a line of a few products and then leave some behind others. Just because this job is mostly pulling things forward doesn’t mean you can become lazy when it comes to moving things side ways.

Once you pull your product forward always make sure it’s logo is facing the aisle front and center. Once again this is for the illiterate hicks that need pictures in order to buy their food, so it’s very important. NEVER allow a product’s bar code or ingredients list to be facing forward. It’s gross and tacky. Don’t have the product upside either unless you’re purposely trying to sabotage your co-worker’s conditioning. However, disregard this advice if you’re conditioning canned tuna. Ain’t no one got time for that.

In this conditioning business accuracy is quite important. Do you want to hear a cashier wine to you because they sold something for a lesser price because it was next to the wrong tag? I don’t. So it’s best to make sure the right product is in the right spot. Don’t just be pulling things forward without actually looking. The best way to be accurate is just to use common sense. If you’re following the practice of doing just one section at a time it should be a huge red flag when there is a bottle of mustard where all the ketchup is, but if you’re a fucking idiot and lack common sense all you need to do is read the tag. Always glance at the tags as you pull something forward to make sure that product is actually suppose to be there.

How can you tell if you conditioned that section successfully? Take a step back and look at it. It should be a perfect wall of product (give or take the few imperfections caused by a bad reset, shelving issue, or one of those stupid shelf extenders in the way). You can easily make a perfect wall by pulling all product to the very edge of the shelf unifying them.

As you admire the perfection be product of yourself. You just did what 75% of your work crew seems unable to do and a manager will not yell at you that day. Now time to do about 8,000 more sections on top of running all the pallets that came of the truck.

Other things to keep in mind! Conditioning Shelf-Ready products (products that come in display boxes) doesn’t mean anything if there isn’t actually any product in those boxes. Please throw away the box and pull forward what’s behind it, unless of course it’s paper plates because when I run paper plates I don’t want to create a new display box cause I might get a paper cut. Don’t leave empty protein boxes on the shelf. People will die if they don’t get their protein. Bad conditioning leads to genocide.

With all this in mind you will one day be a successful Kroger employee Allen.

This applies to all Kroger family companies. Funny enough, I work for one.

Tell that to my co-worker who hasn't figured out any of this after working there a year so he'll stop thinking I'm wrong :)
