I go in for ad set and prep usually at 4ish pm wed and we don't punch out till 2am most of the time. why we try to wait till 8pm to start putting out the pallet stuff on the floor pad is beyond me. everyone has seen the ad by then get it out, so you can limit it all 1 per and no price...

I agree,how many resets does electronics have to go thru this year? I managed to get up just the major intersection overheads yesterday, talked with HR and STL told them again, I was behind. I said well I lost my help 15 or the 16 hours this week due to price accuracy and you pulled me 10...

I used to donate it all of our signing to a local school, and all the toy displays there too, it is a school for the physically and mentally challenged. toy displays meant a lot to them. Being able to learn you push the button and this happens on this display or push it on this one and...

last wed, I told the etl's I was behind, due to being pulled for PA 2-4 times a week for pretty much my full shift. Last week, never even got to break down my Monday pallet till Thursday. So I was asked why isn't everything built yet. I said with my helper, since I share my signing hours...

I so second that. I was hoping they would have come up with something different this year. NOT. did any of you experience really bad folding creases on the softlines Christmas trees? their quality control is getting really bad. the first one I put together, all of the plastic trays were...

thanks to those who agree with me. I am amazed that a few of you would speak up to agree. sears opening at 8. common, what does sears have anymore especially since they will be having two door buster sessions, one at 8 pm and one at 4am. Once Kmart bought Sears they went down hill so bad...

Best practice is to set and scan. Ours were being scanned into the wrong aisle consistently due to (i forgot my glasses, i am usually not awake yet,i don't feel good, etc.....) so we have one person come in at 4am, on a regular ad and scan in so at 6 everyone can start setting when they get...

I head heard that sears was opening at 8pm a week ago. The funny part of this is, it is not Target, Walmart or any other chains fault we continue to open earlier and earlier. It is the consumer. Years ago I too used to be one of those who stood in line at 4am for the 6am openings. If...

bad new sears just announced they were opening at 8pm. game of cat and mouse for sure!

I so feel your pain I too am in charge of ad prep. I so feel your pain. the signs have gotten better over the last few years. are you aware there is a batch of sings, on the sign and label pc? it is marked prep usually anywhere from 1-100 signs. however my print the incorrect schematic...

so what happens to the guest service desk area. it's kind of back in it's own corner. not like they can stick another lane in there?

your ad prep person should be putting them together. i do the ad prep, start on wed, work from two different piles, and then separate them into the different sign size so they are easier to scan that way. the tpc should always tpc should be on the top of each of the piles. since most the the...

I for the first time in 8 years had help with mine. But the hecklers were out of control in my store. Between the morning coffee clutch people, keep walking under it, "it's too low" I know, I'm not done with it yet. Fellow TM's. "it's too low" I know, I'm not done with yet...

Congrats Mule! Take a deep breath. Now go get em. Since you have already worked almost everywhere in the store, you know what is expected of you on the store level. Great Job!!

very normal at our store too. who ever is on the salesfloor will be pushing the truck. we have been doing this since about october. the tricky one is they are scheduled a 4 hour shift, occasionally the truck is done before that, if they are sent home before that, they do not get their...
