I really enjoyed Black Friday two years ago. Last year was reeeeaaally boring. We opened 2 hours earlier and still failed to sell as much as the previous year. If we open even earlier this year, I'm sure it will be boring again.

Agreed. And I did a 12hr three lunch shift being bored out of our minds. The zone looked good when I left for the area I decided to zone out of boredom. The softlines TL the next time she saw me bought me coffee from her own pocket.

I'm just going to piggyback off of this post. I do ad change on Sunday morning, hanging the new sales signs/stickers. Is there a shift (or shifts) like that during the BF weekend?
 
most ads for that week will end and ad take down will be on the close of Wednesday. then all black friday deals will be rolled out most on pallets thrown everywhere a lot in pfresh.
We had beat headphone, elsa dolls last year. Signage will be put up a little earlier. most TMs will either stay late Wednesday night or come in early thursday say 8 am to setup.
 
This is and isn't it the right thread


Apply for a RedCard and you will get to live to see your family for the hollidays
 
Still nothing? By this time last year all the ads leaked for Target, Walmart, and Best Buy leaked.

I have a sinking feeling that I'm gonna be running a split shift this year... On the up side, money, but on the down side... 8-4-8. UGH

I've done about about five black Friday's and I've never seen anything that made me go wow. We've started getting in those stupid gaming chairs again. They haven't even changed the way they look in nearly three years. The box looks the same.
I had training to be a line guard this year, which I am not thrilled about.

I second this. Worked 6-3am Thursday last year, went back in at 2 and closed until 11 pm and was back in Saturday morning 8 a.m.

I wish. I was a line guard one year and they decided to stick me by the TV pallets. Now, this was when I weighed about twenty pounds less than I do now. Bad move. I nearly got hit in the face by a TV (I only managed to dodge it by pulling a Neo from the Matrix). Its not fun.
 
A few weeks ago they had a sign up sheet for crowd control. A lot of people signed up, but I didn't. Today I was asked if I had taken my crowd control training. I said 'no, am I doing that?'. Turns out I am. Not sure how I feel about that.
