    Going early and going late often helps a lot with avoiding people who meander around blocking movement through the store.

    Unfortunately, where I live is pretty heavily populated so the shelves are also a lot more empty if I go late or go too early.

      make sure to speak to the manager or other person in charge when you find empty shelves

      that will usually get some attention on it, the bread and dairy isles get beat up the most because they are usually only worked once a day unless someone complains (from my experience). The bread isle was my space when I moved on and it was almost impossible to keep filled because a bunch was vendor controlled but I always had store brand or generic stuff to fill the empty spaces before I’d leave for the day

      someone was supposed to face it a few times a day but rarely did that happen unless the manager noticed or someone complained

      polite customer complaints are powerful motivation in my experience
