MEGATHREAD Signing Tips, Tricks and Quips (along with howls of despair)

[Inigma]

I did not receive an OH for housewares. You must be the lucky one. My apple sign goes up tomarrow morning for me. I'm so happy there isn't as many signing for Black Friday this year, mainly the bins. So that list you have, that is your lifesaver for Black Friday. Keep it with you at all times. Find where your open bins, cluster bins, nop bin go on the list and map. Also, know what product goes in them. Partner with your tl to know where the pre filled shippers go.

It's like 2 sections long....

 

[Inigma]

@kangkang: it's an apple over head sign that goes right over the electronics boat. It's probably longer then two sections. It's akwardly long. You can't miss it. The only concern is, it might be blocking camera coverage for Black Friday.

did it came this week? I dont come back to my store until thursday. im worried how they store my signing pallet this week.

I think that apple sign is only for e&e innovation stores. Mine isn't. But I mysupported it.

 

[Signduck]

The list doesn't really have a name but looks like this. It's like 4 pages front and back. Might be in the Black Friday planning part 2? Have not looked at it on red wire

Metal hangers just came sat. Ordered first night of overnight. Half cane off backorder.

Line by line on my pack slips. I don't touch the pallet if I don't have time to check it off. Unless the dtl is breathing down my neck...then I make the etls help.

 

[signingminion]

Just had the apple sign delivered...Damn you guys. Lol.

Also I do have another home sign for the 11/26 set date.

Nah. We're definitely not an innovation store for e&e, but we got ours

And for the first time in MONTHS I had a COMPLETE invoice. .......faint dead away

that invoice I get with the signing pallets is always incorrect. I just print off the one online.

So, I'm supposed to figure out what I'm missing for Black Friday. Is there a list somewhere to check off the items? How do you go about it?

Go online and look for Weekly Packing Slip...type in your store number, and boom, there's your weekly packing slip.

I really wish they would add the contents of the Archway Cartons to those...

 

[NOP]

When you write to invoice ... Are you talking about the packing slip on the pallet of signing? You actually go through that line by line checking it off? Omg, who has time for that!! I'm lucky if I get the signing off the pallet.

Checking to see if everything came in is a CYA...

Not what I want to hear... Just ordered Friday.... 😡

How on earth do they let you leave this week??? Do you have more than one signing person? Just being very nosey, but they wouldn't let me do ANYTHING like leave early dentist Doctor. Schedule it late. I mean if I was sick, I'd call out but miss most of the week I think they would have a heart attack.

I'm not building any bf stuff till Monday, pet direction of my pptl. I have my usual 28.5hrs signing this week. Rest of my hours are flow.

 

[Throwitout]

I was just about to ask if anyone else got a teensy number of bins this year. Last year we had like 20, but now we have 3 singles and a double. I'm glad everyone else is getting smaller amounts also.

One of the instruction pages said, "stores may receive up to 2 kits each containing 3 single bins" or something to that effect, and I was like, "well, is it 1 or 2? that's the difference of missing half of the required bins or missing none. 😡

I haven't opened any of them, but it feels like there can't be as many as I expected. Maybe there are more shippers instead?

Did anyone receive the electronic device that goes on the music end cap in seasonal?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

I have not seen it.

 

[Produce Queen]

I heard the TL saying she sent a MySupport in about it being MIA

They shipped them out but didn't track where or how many so many stores got two while others got none. Sweep back was last week. Should arrive this weekend supposedly. We were told to put up shelves in the meantime.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]
