No. Video game controllers keepers

No. Video game controllers keepers

The original controller keepers we got don't fit PS5.

On workbench, under merch pro. You can find the new keeper.

Are those the cell phone keepers?

They’re made specifically for game controllers. we have them at my store. just too big for daily use at our desk.

Spider wraps are much more versatile

Entertainment is under the Hardlines/General Merchandise section in the myDevice.

Entertainment clearance labels only print in the General Merchandise batch.

Entertainment POG labels are uniquely color coded as red along with General Merchandise labels.

Entertainment boxes and fixtures come with stickers that say ATTN: General Merchandise Team Member

Entertainment monthly planner on Workbench is always under the General Merchandise section.

AT WHAT POINT IS IT NOT A COINCIDENCE ANYMORE?‼️

 

[daemon]

well, either you get the hours for entertainment or someone else gets them.

anything and everything has been stolen from spider wraps.

i don’t really understand payroll and how anything works but my ETL said “GM pays Electronics to run entertainment”

anything and everything has been stolen from spider wraps.

yeah but it’s mercy protected. what more can i do lol. Either they give us a vehicle for merch protection or their shit keeps getting stolen.

So now they want PS5s only in the back again.....even though production is now back to normal and they aren't causing a problem anymore. What?

This confuses me so much. Our APBP wanted them in the back during holidays which I could get, but now it’s February and I’m sitting on 25 in my back room that could be selling if guest actually knew we had them

Assets Protection is focused on preventing loss rather than making sales. There is likely a high level reasoning behind it.

We really need to cut the wire off all the speaker displays. Kids are annoying with the explicit music, but they went too far today, playing pornography on one of them. I turned the power strip off for now, but we really need to make them non-functional.

Tbf, Whats the point of demo speaker if they're non functional LMFAO.

But I agree, I wish they could have them in such a mode where its only in demo mode with the Bluetooth chip removed

I will never recommend Sony because of their failure to make sure Bluetooth is not enabled in their demos. Feel free if anyone wants to join me. BDS guy says Sony literally doesn't care and he gets that complaint in every store.

Anyways, did you guys see TCL with that insane price decrease? Finally TCL is cheaper than Samsung. Nature is healing. 😌

Me pulling tech:
> Can't find an item
> Looks around in other wacos
> Audits the waco
> Make sure other wacos around it are correct.

Me pulling entertainment for GM:
> Can't find an item in .002 seconds
> ‼️ALL ITEMS SCANNED‼️
> Sleeps happily knowing it doesn't affect Tech BRLA 😇

Is Target just not selling Disney and Pixar films in stores anymore? They didn't even get Strange World

I think that's up to Disney and when they release films from the "vault"

A store in Florida won an award for Prepaid Activations.

Im glad I'm constantly told not to do activations because they take too much time and I should be pushing entertainment instead! 😍

 

[Psyfire]

We just activate anything not CC since its as quick as AppleCare

 

[TurgetCirkl]

bad news for tech TMs. seems like they’re revoking our email. it’s weird. me and another TM don’t have emails rn. but another tech TM at my store does? other stores also have this issue.

 

[Ashfromoldsite]

the only tm with email at my store was the receiving person.

 

[Psyfire]

What is the point of the 3 DPCI per Waco rule with especially something like books? Wacos are big in space compared to what item is in it on average, discounted books are IR'd anyways, and come Q4, that rule is always thrown out of the window. I don't understand why companies are so fixated in how things look backstock wise as opposed to how efficient it is.
