The what news? :S

Price change will start no earlier than 8am

Price change will start no earlier than 8am

That is an awful idea.

All the better for you to help the guests.
Which means they can cut back the number of people on the floor.

But don't be late getting your work done.

 

[nolongerspecial]

Pricing in at 8 works, at least in my ULV. They've been doing it for months.

 

[Triscuit]

Pricing at 8 will not be a good idea .. I would probably go insane. The 2 hours before the store opens are the only time for us to get stuff done before the guests start crawling in

I guess, the 3pm to 8pm gig didn't work for price change?

 

[YourPPTL]

Price change will start no earlier than 8am

True starts may 3

Waiting to hear the howl of outrage for that one. There's a couple that always cherished that non-guest time in the AM.

How's it working? What's there schedule like? How late do they work? What about markups how's that work. My PC team has a lot of questions.

I can see it working in low volume stores. High volume on the other hand....

I don't know enough about pricing to know how markups work. But they generally work until 430, and their score has not dropped at all, I do know that. Occasionally I see them there later than 430 on nights I close, but it's definitely not all the time.

Thanks I'll let my team know. They're worried they'll be working until 11 pm our closing time and doing PC on Saturday or Sundays they rotate Sundays for ad set now.

Ours starts at 4am and I know their TL will not do an 8am start. Commute for her would be 2+hrs each way, yeah no. Se does a 6am and difference in that 2hrs is horrific for traffic.

I would not do a 8am start and I am 10min commute. Where we are there are not really options on how to get places. I do miss my part of CA for that, three ways to get anywhere, if you knew what you what you were doing. Here not so much.

Pricing and presentation will get a senior team lead.

Store based decision. Nothing to do with AE 15.

 

[dave white]

Any word on AP changes at the store level?

 

[mrknownothing]

from what I can remember I thought just 9s and 10s counted?

This is correct. Whenever our survey scores go down, one of my ETLs starts going on and on about how we need to encourage guests to give us 9s and 10s.

Why have it on a 10-point scale if anything below 9 is basically 0?

idk. Like I've said before on here, we should just make it "Good" "Neutral" "Bad"

 

[APredux]

Any word on AP changes at the store level?

Nothing company wide like the IC consolidation. There could very well be district to district changes. For instance we were told there won't be any hours or position changes in our district. What we had through 2014 is what we will have again in 2015.

 

[YourPPTL]

Any pricechange team members in a B or above volume store. Testing the 8 am schedule I would appreciate any information on how you've been scheduled. Are you able to get your work done. And how many team members on your team. Any information is helpful.
Thank you.

Second day of stl ae meetings...yay.

 

[MrBullseye]

All is quiet. What's the word on the street re: AE now, gang?

 

[EMFlow]

I saw on redwire today a pdf with every store, it had 2014 sales, new org chart and new unload time. Unfortunately my store is moving to 6am

"Would you say you were 'satisfied' or 'extremely satisfied'?"
