[Redzee]

I lack language to address spot.

October play book has the info. Signing looks cute.

I saw it today. It's changing to "Bullseye's Playground". The two shelves that make the L shape will have the toy like items. The center shelves will have nicer, bigger items. The prices will now be $1-$10.

It looks A LOT nicer and easier to maintain.

I'll believe that when i see that.

 

[squirrely]

I'll believe that when i see that.

Okay, the L shaped part will still look like shit, but the rest will look decent

$1.00 to $10.00............oh dear....sure do hope that the new products have their price listed very clearly on the packaging.......I can "hear" it now......guests saying....."No, it's not $10.00......it was in the dollar area.....I'll only buy it if it is a dollar."
I can hear the kids screaming as the parent says "no, you can't have that.....it's too expensive!"

Then we'll start to hear the guests complain about how expensive "the dollar spot" has become......it'll be more for guests to complain about...as if the breach (two years ago) is still happening.....complaining about the new card readers......the CVS deal.....so, let's just add "Bullseye's" play area to the list of guests complaints!!!

Almost everything in One Spot is very clearly labeled with the price. The problem isn't the price, it's that guests don't ever pay attention.

Truth. I get people arguing the $3 stuff should be $1. So this will be even worse.

 

[mrknownothing]

If it weren't for the occasional item with no price marked on it (like those random name-brand candies), it would make more sense to just have blank labels like in shoes.

 

[Voicetarget]

I dunno about big sales driver all I find are pages torn from coloring books, empty packages galore and broken items there.

why do you think it looks like that though? it gets picked over and quick lol

Along with flexing to the extreme

 

[RunForACallBox]

We already have ours set and the gondolas turned.

Plus guests just wriggly rigidity wreak it in one or two days so any kind of neatness gets demolished.

 

[Westcoast7]

I can see it now.
Me: *rings up $10 item*
Guest: *freaking the f*ck out* THAT WAS IN THE DOLLAR SPOT ITS A DOLLAR!!!

Vibe it.

 

[mrknownothing]

Vibe it.

Fixed it for you.

Welp ours is being torn up tonight. It feels like I've lost part of me. A messy part of me, but still a part of me.

I really like the new design, but we're not getting it. :-(

 

[ClearanceMaster]

I really love the mechanical spot dog wagging his tail. It makes me smile when i see it.. lol

 

[desertcoyote]

They tore up See Spot Save this morning and placing the new Spot's Playground tomorrow morning. Then it will all be torn down next week so they can lay new tile in the area... gotta love whoever schedules the plans!

 

[Joejoe12]

My store is only adding an encapsulate to the L aisle feel like we are getting cheated

 

[mrknownothing]

I don't know how far along my store is now. Last time I worked, the outer gondola had been torn down, exposing disgusting yellowed tiles.

Meanwhile they had me zone dollar spot for about 3 hours today

Ouch... at my store they're not even caring anymore. I was told not to bother zoning or even putting things back where they belong. That place is even more of a mess than usual. I'm soo happy to see it go!

 

[dannyy315]

I don't have a shift until Thursday so it'll be interesting to see what changes there are.

Well I say "they had me" but really it was more of "hey Kaitii wanna do some go backs?" "cAN I STAY AND ZONE IT TOO??????" "sure"

My guilty pleasure is zoning dollar spot and they know how to push all my buttons the right way

I'm the same way. When I need to get away from the lanes, I always volunteer myself to zone Dollar Spot and they have absolutely no problem agreeing to it. It gives me time to think while cussing guests out in my head for using that area as a place where they dump their unwanted items.
