    MEGATHREAD Hang Me (The Softlines Thread)

    I swear if anyone flubs up the girls' tables tomorrow while I'm cashering I'm gonna have a hernia. It was a freaking train wreck and a half. It took almost an hour to get one of the tables with the different character shirts organized, folded and then organized by size. Then there was the...

    Archived How much will hours drop after Christmas?

    I'm assuming hours are gonna get cut pretty hard. I will use that to my advantage if I'm kept after seasonal, and take the slower times to cross train. I plan on learning Hardlines, Electronics, Food Ave., and maybe backroom.

    Archived Are there cameras on your Food Ave?

    Not a clue tbh. I haven't really been bothered to check. I've been too busy drooling over those pretzels and popcorn...it's torture being on the front lanes or working RTW and smelling that fresh batch start popping.

    You and me both. And a freaking moving line. There is like, NO counter space at the front lanes. With all these people coming in and buying the huge toys....it's no fun trying to play Tetris with the boxes while trying to bag them properly as well as making their checkout Fast Fun and Friendly.

    Archived What is the one thing you most wish other TMs knew about your workcenter?

    I wish I could say that zoning Softlines is super easy and quick at our store...with people holiday shopping right now and in a super huge hurry all the time, not only does Softlines drown in reshop, we also run up front to the lanes for backup, covering for the operator while they go on break...

    Archived 90 Probation Period

    Damn, already? Good thing I cornered my TL and let her know that I would love to cross train and stay on after seasonal. I even said I'd like to learn how to print the sale labels when asked about them.

    ...Oh yeah. My bad. I can't brain right now, I has a dumb. :eek: But the sweaters weren't ringing up with their sale price. I at least make sure that, when it happens, I let the guest know that I really do want to fix that for them and that I like saving people money. They're usually a lot...

    Thanks! As a matter of fact, I got 3 today! :D Today as a bit hectic as we had quite a few sales going on, and the system wasn't picking up a lot of them. There was one sale on girl's hair clips/bows when you buy three, and I swear, one of them rang up as a freaking NECKLACE. Like....what. I...

    Archived Those "hot" items.

    That blows for your store. Ours has a small variety. One of my fellow TM's came through my line with a Harry Potter one. I plan on buying my mom a few as she absolutely loves them; they help her wind down and de-stress after a long day, and a lot of what she colors looks downright gorgeous when...

    Archived Those "hot" items.

    The Star Shower lights, Pie in the Face, Shopkins, those really adorable mini-plush little pillow looking things of various Disney characters, and whatever we have a deal for at the moment; one day it was Minecraft stuff, today it was Barbie and Nerf products. I came into the fitting room one...

    Archived My first day was bad!

    Sorry you had such a crap first day. :( *hugs* It's an incredibly stressful time of year for everyone involved in the retail experience [guests and team members alike] and seasonals are all over the place. Some may leave willingly before the seasonal bit is up in January, and some may get the...

    Archived Score System?

    Forgive me if this is a silly question, but what do you mean by "score"? Are you talking about the score that pops up on the registers when you're cashiering, the number of red cards each employee has gotten, what department is shining like a diamond and which one sucks butts right now...

    Archived Is Spot using me?

    I wouldn't say they're "using you". They decided that they want you to close, so you're closing. Also, I'm jealous of all ya'll getting compliments. I haven't received a single one. I honestly don't know where I stand with them. They love throwing me on the register, but that's about all I know.

    My only gripe right now is how long it takes to get cash brought to my register. I put in a request for 10's and 5's. It took a total of two hours and me flashing my light with a guest short changed to get their attention that I needed money. When I went on my last break I made sure to let my...

    Yup. I came back in from my break and started zoning. Went back to get reshop and took the phone from the operator while she took her break since there was no one else. While on the phone with a guest, our LOD comes over and asks if I could zone RTW. I asked where the TM in charge of that zone...
