Spot hates you?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Another way for spot to recover from poor sales on Black Friday.

 

[Amaazingdude]

Spot hates you?

This is company wide? Or does my store just hate my kids.

 

[signingminion]

I can't recall our closing, but I feel like it was earlier? Last couple hours are a waste of payroll for our area...

It used to be 6 or 7pm and the team followed the last guest out the door regardless of store condition.

We close at 10 pm. I don't think Santa comes til you're asleep anyway, so I'm okay with it.

Last year we closed at 7pm and our LOD made us zone and reshop the whole store before we left. We got out of there around 10ish.

We closed at 10 last year. I missed opening presents with my family since we open them on christmas eve! Hopefully this year i wont have to work as late

 

[Ashfromoldsite]

It's company wide and it was announced at my store the day Black Thursday hours were announced. This has nothing to do with poor BT sales.

Spot hates Santa and Jesus.

We already know how spot feels about lowly TMs....

There better be food

There better be food

Our FFF calendar says there will be food (can't remember what) but I'm sure it will either not happen or be taken by those who leave by 3 or 4pm, ensuring the evening team gets screwed out of the food and time with their families.

This is made even sadder when our store closes earlier on New Years Eve than Christmas Eve.....go figure.....

This is because schedules are set by the needs of the business, not the need of TMs.

Which makes no sense because we are just as busy on NYE as we are Christmas Eve at that time.

 

[RedMan]

I guess most stores are busier on Christmas Eve than New Year's Eve.

10 pm here, I will work it so my fellow PAs have the night off to spend with their families.

It does not make ANY sense why people try to do ALL of their shopping on Christmas Eve, Christmas is a fixed holiday and it just doesn't creep up on you. Don't people realize that most of the "Hot" toys will NOT be available on the 24th and they should stop putting the shopping off until the last second. Stores should close at 4 PM and if a "Guest" does not have their shopping done, then that is their own fault.

My ex has worked at a number of places that don't give a Christmas bonus until very late - like one was at 3pm on Christmas Eve (and they knew they were getting a bonus).

I don't judge, sure, some are true procrastinators.... but some might not have had any extra money until then.

I've been there - when your support payment won't hit until December 28 - it doesn't help you much. There would have been no way to have budgeted and saved that year either - I was counting on the money I was supposed to have gotten December 1st... and didn't.

Oh, and don't forget there are a whole other crew of people just out shopping that don't give a darn that it is Christmas... because, you know, they don't celebrate it.

And there were people like my Uncle Sal who waited to the first night of Hanukkah to do his shopping, like the hour before the party.
You never knew what he would get but it was always interesting, usually books that were totally not age appropriate.

Great memories though 'eh??? LOL!!

My late dad, left to his own devices, would shop from the bargain endcaps of a nearby drugstore.
Until my mother made him stop.
