    Archived Bike Service Plans?

    We were a test store for these last year. As far as I know, we never sold a single one. Though, I have to wonder how there's money to be made here. Even if you take care of it, a Target-bought bike will need some serious work after two years; tires, brakes, cables, etc. IIRC, it's only $8 to...

    MEGATHREAD Signing Tips, Tricks and Quips (along with howls of despair)

    Has anyone else had issues with footage? Most of my kits are way off. I audited today, and I'm short 76 FEET of signing for A&A low walls. It just doesn't make sense, either. My Girls' and I/T departments are on opposite sides of the SAME WALL. I/T was perfect, but I'm missing 16 feet worth of...

    I looked in the kit specified in the message board. 0 T-shirts. MySupport request pending for 3 days now.

    I built my SL bins last Friday. My tip: Build them upside down. Much easier to see what you're doing. Started seasonal bins today. Got 5/8 standing bins done in 1/2 day. Will have 3 full days to build the rest of the week, and I now realize how lucky I am to have that.

    Archived Bikes and bike returns

    I've given up trying to enforce any sort of policy. The GSTLs and LODs will just roll over for the Vibe, anyway. If it's within my ability to fix, I'll do it. If the bike is a disaster when it's brought in, it will be a disaster when it rolls out, but a functional disaster. If it's a return or...

    This week is just all around supply pallet foolishness. Normally, we don't have a problem; the supplies are there Monday morning, Tuesday at the latest. This week, we got the giant BTS pallet in Monday, but I left it sitting to focus on other more important tasks. A second pallet appeared...

    Has anyone checked out the February Signing Update yet? One look at the Spring FOS and I already hate it.

    We only had 2 of the LEGO fins, IIRC. I know for a fact there was only one for the other 3, and that's the way it's been since last year.

    Two months ago, I said those All is Bright trees were the worst things I've ever built in my years as Signing. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new champion: that freaking sun. It's huge, takes forever to build and is otherwise an absolute pain. Everyone do yourselves a favor and double up on...

    After five weeks of telling my ETLs "I can't do all this work myself on 30 hours a week," I had a chat with my STL today. Guess what? Turns out I can't do all this work myself on 30 hours a week. Man, somebody should have said something...

    Words cannot express my hatred for the Premium Wrap tubes.

    The Early Set Notes had a big list of late-arriving signing.

    Archived The Vibe is dead: Target is looking to hire 30% less seasonal this year over last.

    I can't speak for everyone, but I can definitely say my store has more full team members right now than we did at the same time last year, so it makes sense we wouldn't need as many seasonals.

    Archived Instocks question

    As for the abbreviations, as I understand it: If it's currently on a truck from the DC to the store, it's On the Way. If it's on the way to the DC and currently allocated to your store, it's On Order.

    If I remember correctly, the signing package form the transition contained a sticker to apply over the original, extending the deal to 2013.
