I think this girl was milking the clock. She was just kind slowly walking around, waving the zebra around, talking to everyone.Our first scan took forever but once the expectation was set our in stocks is done in 4 hours or less. Our gal likes to talk! Lol
Was at another store today and asked how long it took her to scan she said five hours. I was super surprised it still takes people that long. It took me five hours once, and then two hours-ish everytime after
Borrow a Torx Security screwdriver from your PMT and take the ipod out of the sled. Requisition a portable battery and that should get you through the scan.Ours takes hours since we have to break every hour and a half for an hour to let the mydevice charge. And the way our store is setup you have to walk the entire store three times to even get close. Two backrooms on opposite sides of the store, a large floorpad for softlines and a 50 aisle spread for the domestics.
I mean what is your average goal?I'm wondering if your stores are smaller than mine or what the difference is. It takes me 5-5.5 hours (of scanning time, I use a portable charger to not have to stop except for a 15) to get the RFID scan done thoroughly enough to not miss goal.
Past few weeks (after it finally accepted the failing scans) roughly 90-92kI mean what is your average goal?

Do you just walk by quickly aiming at everything as you go, or hold it straight up (which always seems to get just a lot around you), or? Would definitely be happier if there was a better way that cuts the time in halfOurs is around 100-103k
That's exactly what I do. I get all of softlines in about 30-45 minutes. Backroom scan takes a bit longer. I usually use fifteen to twenty minutes to try and soak up as much as I can.Do you just walk by quickly aiming at everything as you go, or hold it straight up (which always seems to get just a lot around you), or?

I usually circle an entire area, ie women's, then zip zag through it. Continue on to the next area, so on and so forth. At the end I see which area still has a decent amount of items, run through that area. I do it until all areas are under at least 100. That'll get you 99% everytime if not 100% depending on your extras.Do you just walk by quickly aiming at everything as you go, or hold it straight up (which always seems to get just a lot around you), or?

Heh, same thing we do. Keep hitting the problem areas until everything is under 100 (usually Bath, Kid's Basics, Legwear, Panties, Bras). However, at the beginning we walk the racetrack through the RFID areas, slowing down a little while at the high-density sections, like Intimates.I usually circle an entire area, ie women's, then zip zag through it.

i also change out my battery before i hit the backroom, it never actually needs a battery swap since when i go to the backroom its only about an hour and fifteen minutes in to my scan... but in my head it makes it more powerful haha so i do it everytime nowHeh, same thing we do.

Maybe phase 3 included the robots scanning hardlines! They scraped that and saved all of our jobs!Has anyone heard anything about Phase 3 yet? Someone mentioned it today, but I haven't heard anything about plans for it.
You can always take a look on myperformance and see what you missedYeah, I'm going to have to stop helping guests and covering breaks. I can't keep losing my batches for no apparent reason. I started at 4 one week it was nice. Problem at my store no one knows when I can and or are suppose to start scanning. I start at 6 tomorrow so at least I'll have two hours with no guests. I usually start with guest service and fitting room and after what they said district said I'll start in jewelry. I'll also start using my phone next time I have a guest or call another tm to help. That should help too. I definitely think taking the iPod out of the sled will fix almost all my battery problems. I had issues with the zebra sleds two weeks ago they just wouldn't scan and I couldn't activate trigger lock. I'll try and not scan all four sides of the racks and see how much faster it gets me and as far as hardlines goes I'm still just not sure what I can skip/or aisles I should be scanning so I'm not scanning every aisle (at least the ones stated above). Cause I've scanned down the pyrex aisle and others and have got hits (not a lot but still get's me closer to 100%). I skipped those that aren't soft decor and others mentioned one week and I was off by like 18k I want to say. I know rugs and curtains were added to phase 2. I'll try these things tomorrow and we shall see how it goes.
