Title. I have asked in store but no one gives me a direct answer. I was never really taught how to do it

You are a food support manager and no one has taught you this? Someone needs to be smacked at your store.

The other food support tried to but I was later told that he showed me incorrectly

Well he isn't very good at his job. He is in GM more than he is in food.

They feature to home there too. It is done everywhere. I'm flabbergasted on how it could be screwed up. What did he tell you to do. I need to hear this...

This is why I come to this subreddit, I'm constantly reminded I'm not in the worst store.

Also, you want to fill the side counter up completely to the shelf cap to avoid having to do it again an hour later.

If you have let's say... Kraft Finding Dory Mac& Cheese on an end cap, and also in a location in the aisle, you "shop your features to home". If the shelf cap on the mod on the side counter is 20..and you have 17 there.. You take 3 from your end cap and put them there to fill your side counter.
At my store each associate (GM side, not sure about grocery) shops their features to their homes when they clock in for the day.
Same goes to when stocking an item that also has a feature. Fill original home first on the side counter and then the end cap/feature.

Omg. facepalm

Take shit from features and fill the home with it because the home sells faster. If you take so much shit from the feature that it now looks like shit, the feature needs to be restocked or killed or faked out temporarily.

They always call it feature to side counter at my store which is like??? Feature to home sounds much better.

It's pretty self explanatory given the title. Basically, you take items that are on the feature which can be either an endcap, stackbase, etc, and work them to the home which is it's original spot on the shelf.

It is something third shift is supposed to do, but my co-manager always tells me to do it. I haven't seen anywhere in the Food Support Manager One Best Way or job summary that says that I should be doing it though.

Feature to home is exactly what it sounds like, taking items from their feature location and stocking them to the home, their modular location. We do this to keep the home full, because a majority of the time, you make more sales from the home than you do feature, so we like to keep the home full.
And it's easy to do, just pull some items off of their feature and fill the home. Sometimes management will want you to leave the feature 'faked' out so it's not completely empty, that's up to them.
