    Archived Black friday hours

    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...

    Archived As prep/ad set

    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...

    wouldn't it be nice to actually have "REAL SURPRISE VISIT" ? One you cannot plan for, one that the store should be looking great everyday, not just that visit day? We get the call, the jet has landed or he/she just left here. So the DTL's should start saying i am going East today, and go...
