You know the items....you dread opening in the morning because of the calls and guests coming in looking for the items that may have come in on the truck. The guests are rude because they are sure you should have it, and darn it, you are going to help them call every store in the district, because they don't trust your computers saying there are none. If the item accidentally gets saved for someone, thus showing the guests online you may have one, threats are made....
You've seen it all over the past couple of weeks and are looking forward to Christmas being over so people will forget about them.
What items are hot in your store?
For us:
Pie Face: this thing looks like people will play it once and then put it away to never play again. We have lamented that we wish we had a bakery in our store so we could do a pie in the face to all the guests who "have to" have it. One LOD has basically told guests they need to get up at 4am, wait for it to be acknowledged on the truck and order it for store pick up if they really needed to have it.
Roomba: this one may die this week after the sale ends. We had a TM put two on hold for a guest (who naturally never came for them) resulting in an LOD nearly getting punched in the face because it said we had it online in our store.
As Seen on TV Star Shower: Another item that flies off the shelves within a half hour of open...with another hour of walkie calls of "do we still have this" to follow...even though they keep saying over the walkie it's gone. People have suddenly forgotten this ASTV stuff never works as advertised and a good half of it is returned. I don't expect this one to be any better.
Anything else from your stores/areas?
