Would never happen at my store. Not only would I refuse, but my PMT would go beserk having to keep resecuring displays to the gondola. Not worth the time.

I honestly don't know how it works to tell you the truth. Please explain my little yellow friend.

As you read a thread and see posts you want to respond to click "+quote". When you get to the end click the "add quotes" button instead of just typing or hitting "quote". A little box pops up with every post you wanted to quote, you can add just one or add all.

Tying/locking displays down... Anyone have a good way of doing that? STL wants all displays locked down onto the shelves.

yeah, nope. Furniture, anything on the top tier off baby displays. Not small apps.

no moving furniture is a safety issue and we have nice signs that Target provided that say as much. I am all for securing all the displays as anal as that sounds. If you don't need to see something with your hands unless you are blind.
Its purpose to give a 3d view. You dont need to pick it up.

Honestly if you have to lift a blender to make a decision on a blender you have greater issues afoot.

Just a couple days ago I had to put back a display mini blender that I had in my reshop cart. I was like who? What? Why???

 

[GoodyNN]

Heh, I had someone bring a display blender to SD to buy it, but wanted a discount because it didnt' have the lid. She apparently didn't notice that it also didn't have the chopping blades. Or a power cord. And I never did figure out how she got it off the shelf, because when I went back there at some later date, I saw that the small appliances were all tethered. Some with regular zip ties, some (like the blender) with metal bars across the face and down into the shelf.

 

[SFSFun]

Lol how did she plan on using a blender with no lid?

 

[GoodyNN]

Ours is not to question why.....

(for all I know she just wanted to replace the jar portion on an existing blender at home and already had the lid and the power base)

signing pallet + supply pallet came in today but neither had my 7/11 holders for the 4th quarter push we were supposed to get in this week.. Hoping it comes through fedex or something because my store is bone-dry on them

Has anyone seen the new style signs for the coolers, short gondolas, checklanes yet?

I was told, specifically, my only job is to "put them safely away for future store use". I am also SFS, and filling 849 SFS eaches a day... LOL

Wtf, went looking for more 7707 backer and realize they sent scalloped, herringbone, wood grain, etc we don't use anymore. Wtf? If I run short I'm going to kill someone.

Just use some backer paper that has at least, one circle on it. Target will love it.

Lol, at this point it looks odd where we've used those. The other store and etl remodel didn't ask what to use for a week, they just put up the little 7707 stuff.

What I want to know what the hell is the sales floor doing with them? Do they just toss them after ad takedown? Eat them? How in the world do we go through so many so quickly?

Same as every year. But yeah kind of.

I've got five cases of 7x11 holders hoarded from last year. I dole them out over the year as they break.
