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

Yes! They also sent me displays that did not belong to my store/any pog + our playard pog calls for items for display that are clearance....

Haven't come across any like that yet. I did receive many display sheets that we no longer sell though.

I am convinced they must have decided to clear out the DC of displays. Some of them were covered in thick dark grey dust. 😝 And had weird pog locations on them.

The whole thing feels fucked up.

I want to switch out my spice pushers for these rollers. Does anyone have the part number to this fixture?

They don't make them in 3ft right? Our spices are in a 3ft section instead of a 4ft and I would really like to swap ours because it always looks like a hot mess.... :/

You're amazing. Thank you!!!

I don't think they do because I had thought of the same thing when ours had a 3ft section too.

What about the gen3 black pushers? If you run out of the 3ft tracks, you can always cut them.

We have pushers right now, but it still always looks really bad. I think they are the gen3 black pushers (if there's any other types of pushers)

Are you sure you want glass spice jars on the vitamin pushers? The shelves would need downswept. I just imagine them falling and breaking. All the vitamins are in plastic bottles.

All my spices in grocery are in the rollers. They still don’t really roll all that great.

I put the gum and mints POG in rollers. That one works great!

 

[SleepyTM]

But are they better organized?
Mine is a complete mess with the pushers.

Did anyone get deep 32x48" shelves for cat litter transition? Ours adds another row for the backwall, seems a bit high but ehhh..

Oh god I hope not.. no way at my store heavy cat litter can go any higher

Our Litter pog has had that extra shelf on there for awhile. We don't have the shelves and have never set it because it would be too high. The nice thing about it is the items that go on that top row of shelves are exactly the same items that go on the shelf below it. So we just adjust the SFQ of the top shelf to zero for all those items.

Most of it were the same except for maybe 3 DPCI. I just flex it below, no biggie.

Does anyone else have to basically purge their fixture room because nothing is allowed to be over 6ft. anymore? We were told we can’t even keep a ladder in our fixture room!

Nope. Not a peep.
And I will absolutely refuse to comply with this should it be brought up, as will my ETL. Utterly ridiculous.

 

[PackAndCry]

I love how they don't want us keeping anything extra, but also they assume we have fixtures that haven't been needed for years, like the Pets reset that adds more of the wire bins we don't really use enough of to keep extras.

I made my own bins with wire fencing. Mostly because I didn't take the wire bins out of rawhide because it looks nicer with them in. If I had, I would have had the bins needed for dog toys. So now that aisle has 3 different versions of slanted shelves: wire fencing, wire bins, and plexi. 🤣

I saw on Reddit that a TM fell off a ladder, and passed away from the injuries -- wonder if that's a factor? No details were given (like if the tm was in the fixture room, or what type of ladder.)

It was a 10 ft ladder & not 3 points of contact on the ladder.

We have a couple of "scary ladders" in the back. Ones that are on wheels, and not attached to the BR aisles.
