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

i used to dress up as a mascot and one halloween i was handing out candy and got my butt chewed out by a family that didnt celebrate it... not fun they could have just said no thanks but nooo lets yell at the girl who has to stand by the door ina freakin costume and hand out candy

Some people think that their beliefs are so important they have to impose them on others.
 
Where does the Christmas bows or ribbons go? The red and green ones that go on top of the gondola. Do I follow the sales planner Christmas list and put them up where a topper goes? I'm confused.
 
Follow the guide in the box the endcap bows came with. Put a bow up, skip two endcaps, put a bow up, skip two endcaps, .... Alternate colors. It doesn't have to be perfect. The goal is to make it look festive.
 
yap put it in a 1 and skip 2 incap. what I did was I just skip 1 incap it looks better than skipping 2.

Anything that creates less work for me when it comes to takedown...so I'll take every two endcaps...come takedown time...there's going to be SO much to do.

Any one already printed the store specific hours? I cant find the pdf.

Look at RedWire...there was a message board and a link to your store specific one. That's where I got mine from. If it's not there, look for the Black Friday stuff on Workbench. This was supposed to be done no later than EOD 11/14.

I couldn't find it either. The directions in the box got me nowhere. WB > Tools >QT 4. No help there. I checked Redwire and couldn't find it there either. The only place I didn't check on Redwire was the completed section. Someone could have marked it complete without checking with me first... 😡
 
My stl just handed them to me with the signing. I have no idea where he got it from. Are we suppose to keep the red store hours up or not? I just took them down and put the green ones up.

Have your stl print it. I think they have access but not anyone else.

I am a SRTL but you should still have access. On the right side of the screen where it says "my view" click down to "store view". See if that brings anything up.

Thanks, I will try that on Monday.

no you take down the red ones. when it comes time to take down the holiday hours, you will have new ones sent to you. I do keep extras on hand just in case.
 
Where are you all planning on building/storing your blackfriday bins? Last year I built them all in the cart garage because that was the only area with enough "space" (as in I just built one after the other and then threw it on top of the 4-5 broken carts that didnt already have a shipper on them). It was OK, aside from the fact that the giant heater in there melted all the adhesive signs off so I had to retape them back on, and the bins were too big to get easily back into the store so some of them had to be remade after getting squished through the front of the doors.
 
I've used the TL office, we had a great big room that had desks along the wall and a table in the middle. We just took the took the table out of the middle and replaced it with bins.
I've also used half the break room which was normally used for orientations, that didn't work out so well.
 
I don't know yet. I was thinking of making two rows of bins, stacking them against an empty wall in receiving. Using the wave. I've never built these bins. It depends on how the bottom structure is. If there is cardboard falling out when lifting a bin.
 
We still don't have the reindeer overheads or bows. All we have are the headless Santas and the directional signs for seasonals. Our store looks bare compared to other stores I've been in. I think we're finally getting them this week, after several back and forths between my signing spec and corporate.

I might try to do the same if there are no more orientations until bday, but I'm guessing that I would have the same problem with the bins not fitting through the doors of the tl office/orientation room without having the risers inside them fall out/etc
