COVID-19 June 1: The Fitting Rooms Reopen

[starmaster1000]

So Leaders apparently got an email this morning letting them know to begin making preparations for fitting rooms reopening on June 1, 2021.

 

[sunnydays]

i received no such email and neither did the style team leads or the specialty etl in my store so it might be a regional thing to start

Look if Hq opens up the fitting room than I want the soda machine turned back on. Been bringing soda from home. Once open I can get the drink and refill. Starbucks lead wants the dining area open up as well

They took out our icee machine today, probably going to lose our soda machine.

We lost both of the machines. And the entire seating area went to OPU.

Our fitting rooms are current style fixture storage; lots of convertibles and quads.

I'm hoping they don't put all the fixtures near my area. Softlines has their metros just past my area.

Maybe then GS won’t have to do Styles job anymore. So tired of nonstop clothing returns and everything we have to do for the Style team.

I thought I remember reading a communication a few weeks ago about PMLs having to install locks on the fitting room doors so if someone wants to try something on the door needs to be unlocked. Is this something that is actually happening or did I misread?

I have never heard of such a thing.

That would mean a TM to staff it which is payroll.

If they do it, they won't do it for long.

I will look forward to less bathing suit returns.

Someone was recently at my store fixing the soda machine that we got during the remodel. It was never used.

Ain't nobody at GS doing anything for us except piling the reshop so high I have to use several vehicles to push it back to the fitting room. They certainly aren't sorting and hanging it for us.

Also, I predict our returns won't go down that much. A lot of our reshop is brands we don't carry in our store, as well as tons of infant/toddler clothes, abandons, and Baby hardlines, which we still have to pick up and sort even though GM supposedly owns it. We also get called whenever a guest needs help in Baby Hardlines, either in the store or on the phone.

We will just get to add piles of tried-on clothes left inside out and on the floor of the fitting rooms back to our daily reshop madness. Oh fucking joy 😡

Don't forget Brittany and Kayleigh trying on 30 swimsuits each and buying 0 of them!

We have a couple pods behind the building for extra fixtures. Which are mostly full already. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Come to my store. We hang and fold. If it is in the bottom of the rack, in a mess or done completely wrong, it is brought back to GS for us to do right.

Wow. This is a major ASANTS vibe lol.

Should’ve gone straight to your SD only. Mine had to forward the conversation to us.
There was a fitting room reopening test planned for June 6 but then the mask thing blew that wide open.

Certain stores with certain locks are having them replaced so it’s easier to unlock them. Nothing but a hardware update.

Ours have had locks since remodel. Which is why we only ever have one bank of fitting rooms open, despite getting a nice second bank of fitting rooms in remodel. It's a waste to give us two banks of fitting rooms, requiring them to be locked, then not staffing Style enough to have both of them available for guests (before Covid, obviously).

This would be nice. Our locks are just futzy.

That’s how it is at my store. Style lead came to guest services and gave us s lesson on how to properly hang stuff.

Ours will be locked with all style team members getting keys. That's what we were told when we were to reopen. We shall see
