What is edging? Never heard of this
What is edging? Never heard of this
I just did look. I got a lot of green outdoor lawn, mulch, and flower bed images. What's so scary about that?Don't look it up on Google images.
Or do, I'm not your dad.
New to target. Only had a few shifts but haven’t been trained at all on the floor. Only got trained as a cashier and then just thrown on the floor. I’ve been left alone both shifts I’ve had on the floor and I’m completely lost. Wondering if anyone has specific tips that could help? I’ve been in RTW both times and it’s been just me trying to do reshop, cleaning up the floor, and watching the fitting rooms. Feel bad for the person after me because since I don’t know where anything goes the amount of reshop left at the end of shift is terrible.
All denim is to be hung at the very edge of the waist band....our STL calls it "pringle" hang as the fabric will fall forward looking like a pringle chip. This has been out for at least a year and should be part of the sort process in backroom before it comes to the floor.
It should be all items on pant hangers with the exception of swim. It looks pretty bad, I agree.Is it just denim? They told us it was all bottoms across softlines. The lack of clear communication in this company is comical.
We just started implementing it this week and it looks terrible. The old hanging standard was even worse and took an ungodly amount of time to do.
I think I’m burnt out on softlines, teebs.
Have been doing it for 2 years. It is all hanging but swim. It is in part about inclusivity--all sizes get hung the same way, and all appear the same from the front.Is it just denim? They told us it was all bottoms across softlines. The lack of clear communication in this company is comical.

We're doing it with kids too. I hate it, it looks so ugly. I'm told that high end clothing retailers do this, and that's why we're now doing it.
RTW is a bit of a monster which I’m sure you’ve figured out. My advice is to learn the brand blocking and you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the VMG (if it’s set correctly) and that will help in terms of zoning/pushing new product. Our RTW TM spends most of their day running reshop and zoning since it’s one of the most profitable departments. PM me if you have any specific questions.

No, they don't fingerspace themselves. They squish just as well as everything else when there's more styles than rack space.My theory on "edging," by Miss Anne Elk*:
* And a tip 'o the cap to Monty Python
- It looks crazy.
- It takes up way too much space.
- It's nigh on impossible to put any pants in or get any pants out of a set of "edged" pants.
- It makes plus sizes look even larger (and scarier).
- If corporate wanted these things hung that way they'd send them hung that way.
- Our sorter doesn't have time to rehang all that.
- Really it does look crazy.
- One good thing about "edged" hanging - they automatically finger-space themselves.
