Archived Look what I found.

Found this little gem in the bottom of a drawer. Yes kids, before 2003 there were no physical sections--you just looked for things.

Those were the days you told guests the cereal would be in market, third aisle down, left side, middle section, top shelf (used as an example) .

I usually started my sentences with "You see that giant Pancake?", while I point to a CSE. I then inform them that is is 3 aisles before or after, or whatever.

Everyone loves pancakes.

Dark ages. Before my time thank goodness. So were there no POGs? Was everything just flexed or what?

 

[pellinore]

There were POGs......look at the information again.
some of this is a little bit different, but some actually remains the same.

 

[REDcardJJ]

some of this is still relevant information that would have been useful to know when i first started

 

[Formina Sage]

RIP NOP...

I think pogs have been around since the 80s, if not earlier (meaning how the term was used). Before aisle numbers, they had to visualize what merchandise goes into which aisle.

The first POGs at Target were released in 1974 (wow they're old)

I like the effort they went through to make sure the 4 way did NOT look like a swastika.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

@Yetive, that’s a great find. Please keep it.

 

[YourPPTL]

Ok guys pogs have been around forever. At least as long as I've been here over 30 years. They have changed alot over the years. Price change and signing as well. And guess what kids. Back in the "good ol days" signing was a team lead. We also had a team lead just for recovery. For those of who don't know what that is (zoning). We had a Team member whos job it was to just walk around the store and replace labels. We had no 4ft label holders. As there were no 4ft labels. We had no my device. No zebra. Very few pda's. You people have no idea how good you have it.

You mean label strips. Yeah, before those you had to measure the shelf and put the each label in its right place. So, if a product is located at four inches, you put thelabel at the four inchmark.

I don't know.. We built our new store about 15 years ago. I know i put all the location labels up. I pretty sure i had them up in the old location. Thought we had them the entire time, good lord is my mind going. I hope not.

As Signing TM(more than likely soon to not exist), and not Signing TL, I'll remind you that, I don't have it as good as back then

Oh... I agree, signing team lead was a sweet job. Best in the store. In my oppion. No wave though or pole..$till $weet

 

[commiecorvus]

Signing Specialist wasn't a bad deal until they decided to take that away too.

 

[MrGSTLman]

Holy schnikees I remember this!! I always wondered what we had before the current schematics.
