Thanksgiving overheads are for dual entrance stores only. If you have one entrance, the Thanksgiving overhead can be tossed.

If thats the case, better for me. Now to convince my SD. Though honestly Thanksgiving would have been so much easier to put up.
 
Maybe hanging Thanksgiving first, then swapping to Christmas is just something my store has always done and not company direction. Our guests are always so sensitive, complaining about setting Christmas and "forgetting" about Thanksgiving like it's a heavy decorating holiday too. Perhaps we have given up and appease them with two FOS despite being only one entrance.

I believe that was what my store did last year so maybe it was previous direction and they changed their mind. Seems to make more sense than throwing it away

The thanksgiving OH goes to market power aisle. I have 2 entrance and still received the thanksgiving OH + 2set of OH for FOS
 
Does anyone know the part number for the ornament Perfect Placement display holder things? Apparently every store is supposed to have them but I never found them on the ISM pallets.

I believe one of my two boxes of those came in DTS and looked more like a hardware box than ISM. Maybe check in receiving for it if you haven't already. The other box was labeled as ISM for seasonal I think.

I wouldn't be surprised if the parts for these aren't on GoCart yet. You may have better luck with mySupport.

Along with that, how many of you are missing your 9ft tree? We discovered our DC has all of them with no ETA on delivery.

We got ours. Located in PNW.
 
We don't even have boxstock to take from! The tree isn't tied to the veranda table pog either, in fact, it isn't tied to any pog for us. I only found the DPCI because it is listed in VA. Hoping enough stores that use the same DC call out they are missing it too so someone gets a clue.

Two MORE pallets of amplified gifting signage.

I'm so close to just tossing this. How much shit do we have to get?

My receiver just smiled at me when he saw I found the two new ones today. I get that sending bins pre-built saves us time, but it doesn't save us on precious space! And I would love to jump into setting all these just to clear them out of the backroom, but I am still knee deep in finishing loose ends in seasonal, finishing mini, and finishing home decor.
 
Bust-ass day for me tomorrow, do every oh in the store, break down 3 pallets of mixed amp gifting and signing pallets, clean fixture room and bitch and mumble about old and new signing not being done but I will do it all,,, you may have taken the signing specialist title away but nothing has really changed ...asants but we have a dm visit on thursday...and my SD said let it rip so I will be looking at a 12 hour day...ez...just wish some-one in corporation would regonize team members are not going to do signing at all and give us our old status back....for the love of God !

This

I originally put the Thanksgiving one up front but was told to move it to market and put Christmas in front of the door. We'll just have to listen to guests grumble about how "Putting Christmas up before Thanksgiving is even here is a crime "

I claimed one of the containers out back for signing and divided it up into 12 sections (6 on each side). Each "location" gets it's own page. I wrote every single sign into a location so that people can find their stuff when they need it and I don't have to get calls every 10 seconds. I might setup something similar in the fixture room after the holidays, but with actual locations and scan them in, but I'm undecided. The fact that they've given me time to do this is a miracle, though, and I imagine not everyone is going to have that luxury.
 
Anyone able to read mysupport attachment about delayed rear seasonal overheads?? I can't open it for some reason. Still missing half the OH. Grrrr...
 
So we had 15 pallets of mini to push

STL thought we had a truck today.

We did not.

Plano was just me and my PTL.

Ended up being us two and six inbound people doing the pallets.

Felt like I dodged a bullet.

I'm never able to open any attachments in mySupport. I received my tree lot hanging lights OH today DTS. I'll just plan on getting OHs up as they come in, not even sure what I am missing or not. 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
Why are there like four boxes for the fucking mini seasonal overheads

Why is this how they think things should be done
 
Anyone know the part number for the metal piece that hold up the inline headers in electronics? I have signs but none of the clips/brackets. Maybe @SigningLady ?
