    Oooh.. a 4ft piece of front fencing sounds like a great idea. Could clip each end to segments along the fencing so they stay straight.. I am really loving this idea <3

    I generally use the Wave to take things down, and hand them on the shelf part of the Wave. The open hook end of one piece is about enough size to fit around it without stretching much, but getting the Wave to go all the way down is sometimes problematic =) I can drive the Wave back to the fxrm...

    Time consuming errands to do, to fill up any December hours allotted: > Tidy the incessantly-messy fixture room > Discover box you set aside in September to put out later > Audit/reorder faded aisle descriptions, aisle markers, [circular category signs that hang mid-aisle, can't think of the...

    As I recall from last year, they did the same thing.. there was a Merry Christmas banner last year or the year before that hung over the exit doors =)

    I didn't want to walk all the way back to get my little organizer thing from the FOS one day, so I just stuck them in the wine-bottle-size paper sacks one day, and they actually work pretty well in those, I think.. My organizer was pretty similar to signingminion's, but I just keep them in their...

    Also a flop at ours, I think. I randomly remembered the day after the game released and asked about them, and was told they were sitting on a basedeck for anyone to just buy outright, and when I went to check, there they were, unbought and loads left. I guess the fever over the Fallout aspect...

    Archived Final Fantasy Wiz's Engineering Soda(Jones Soda Situation)

    I came here just to find out what they were.. I thought they were another Fallout thing. I would highly advise everyone to limit them to 1 per purchase-of-the-game, up to 4 (meaning 4 game purchases), and not limit 4 bottles per 1 game purchase. We're a smallish store for a large-ish city and...

    Did anyone else get a 22lb box (said ATTN:STL on green exterior label) of white aisle numbers? We only use that number style in Transcend, and not anywhere else.. so they sent a 22lb US Ground box to 1500+ stores without checking to see if they are even needed? Couldn't they just make a RedWire...

    Several things I have suggested over the years have actually been implemented. I suggested changing the jiffycutters to the green handle-kind and gave like an essay of the reasons why (even sent pictures of what they look like, etc), via the little Let Us Know function somewhere. I also...

    I just go to Workcenter View along the top left-ish in gray, and then from that new view, choose on the little drop-down on the far-right that says something like "whole store" and just read redwire that is even available. I will often find something for the PMT or AP that I need to know like...

    Actually got my bundle of max-quantity wires pretty quickly..

    With much reluctance I used the plastic OneUps on the PA ropes, but it was a very wary decision, and it was after I'd done the FOS nightmare for fear I wouldn't have anything left over for the others. I've tried ordering additional wires and clips before, but they would always get backordered...

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

    I didn't even try to use the cables on the FOS; I just used all of the plastic OneUps I kept from prior years. Even doing that, I was able to eliminate several points where hangers were even called for -- making my own holes into the midsections of the joined-up glitter-circle sections so they...

    They also hang very low at my store.. and it was about 1.5x as wide as the diagram, that it touched the top of peghooks on the endcaps on either side of whole area. On top of all that.. the diagram would only work for stores with a ceiling tile format shown, which ours isn't. The only way to...

    I believe it's on the very last page of the Early Set Notes, if I recall correctly. Also, could've* =) I got one gander at the front-of-store OH signing for Xmas, which looks like the movie-marquee thing looks nightmarish -- and looks to take about 4-6 hours instead of the hourish the paper...
