[Budweisered4]

I wish we could mark down the older funkos. There's sone that Havre been there since summer

We have shields for tech, it's a trifold thin plexiglass that is stuck to the boat with pads. It works well but tall people can breath over it and you still need to reach around for product, cash. Card reader access has a hole.

Curious on if any of you have a method in clearing a truck. I've found that since I'm now reorganizing repacks in lockup, I put anything that needs extra security and stuff that is future revisions in a 3-tier and the rest in the boxes as normal. I've generally been able to lower how many repacks are in the cage after taking it out this way. Then I'd come back to lockup and put security on the items that need it and push those out. I'm generally able to clear a normal truck, including the flat, this way in 3-4 and a half hours on average this way.

I’m not allowed to push from the cage with it out on the floor so I put it in the lockup and sort the repacks and casepacks into a 3 tier based on what aisles the product goes on. When the 3 tier is full I’ll take it out and push. Usually after 2-3 cart loads the cage is finished.

 

[BoxCutter]

We (and everyone else in the store) are not allowed to use three-tiers anymore. We push repacks from a U-boat.

We got regulated to a 3-tier. I always grab a few repacks at a time & from those sort out the security & non security items with the non security going into the 3 tier. All the known backstock & out of area is sorted through as well. With a average size truck it takes about 2.5-3 hours and includes backstocking all items from truck that don’t go out.

 

[Kaitii]

we still have the whole ass cage out

we're supposed to haul it around as we push but that's stupid

my usual method is parking it at the boat, doing all casepacks first and then working repacks. i sort at the boat lol. take a repack, and sort the product on an empty part of the boat

i do that until the space fills up, then grab a pile and work it out. i finish between 1-2 hours generally, 3 if it was a p a k t cage

What in the world are 3 tiers used for in your store then?

 

[redeye58]

Should be for Drive-up & OPU.

 

[Mikuhl]

Why are people allowed to order multiple switches multiple times. We have to fulfill the order and then cancel it.

 

[seasonaldude]

Great job today Target.com team making the camo Jawa funko eligible for OPU and without a limit even. Dumbasses.

We literally had to have a person in charge of cancelling orders for people who are ordering multiple of switches and this pop.

 

[Kaitii]

dude comes up at 8:30pm lookin for the r2d2 futura pop

3 on hand, no backroom locations , pretied to toys starwars endcap

i tell him sorry dude its for sure not in the back and if it isnt on our funko wall or starwars location in toys its probs gone

and hes like "the guest is waiting : )"

so i come to the back and now im chillin bcos ITS NOT HERE U ASSHOLE

 

[redeye58]

Kaitii scores a break!!!

 

[Budweisered4]

I’m Glad we don’t get many of those anymore we may get a few here and there. We do have 1 very popular for all the wrong reasons that it has been now declared when that guest calls or comes in direct all calls to ap or let them know the guest is here.

How’s everyone’s Kate Spade going?

How’s everyone’s Kate Spade going?

The first item someone bought was the super expensive watch band. But I haven't been in the store since.

 

[TTB]

Question....are you selling switches during senior hour or making them wait til 9am? I have a coworker telling guest we are getting them in and problem is I end up with an angry crowd.

 

[TTB]

I dont want to be exposed more than I need to be.

 

[Tessa120]

What would be the purpose in waiting? Immune compromised does affect kids, teens and young adults. And Steam alerts me to what my friends are playing, including my 65 year old father (Right now No Man's Sky).

 

[StyleMaven1]

How’s everyone’s Kate Spade going?

Sucks. Frigging ALL of our regular endcaps are permanent, what in the world are we supposed to take down?

 

[Budweisered4]

We have our only end cap that we can use but our ETL doesn’t want us to use it. We were directed to put it in the isle and break ties and manually tie every item. Basically making more work then what’s needed for a SPL

 

[TTB]

I agree nintendo switch helps with my anxiety so IDC if they come in I will sell them a nintendo switch if we have...problem is my coworker tells so many guests that we are getting them when we are not then I end up up with a crowd of angry guests at 8am and walk away with nothing.

 

[sprez]

How’s everyone’s Kate Spade going?

Set it last week. Sold maybe a couple things so far off it. The expensive watch bands are annoying because they don’t fit in our keeper boxes.

maybe it’s time to have a chat with your coworker about setting more appropriate expectations in regards to switches coming in. Or have your TL do it.
