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

[Dysprosed]

They only got the communication yesterday morning…

I've gotten burned so badly on setting Seasonal early that I now get 100% confidently declared approval from my store director before setting.

Our SD got approval from the DSD to start this one early!

Is there a trick to attaching the plastic label strip with the header to the shelf? This is the kind that holds the regular label strip in the usual place plus a strip across the top.
Was trying to get the ones attached to the Smoker's Health POG (really late, but it's been low on the list of priorities) and I just finally gave up.

Did anyone else end up with 4 extra 3-foot notebook bins and 5 extra 4-foot notebook bins? Looking at the pogs I put the correct amount out in seasonal

I think they do that almost every year. Either you get too many or are short a few.

I would hang onto to them in case they are needed for any BTS Stationary endcaps. Looks better than using fencing.

The more recent batches of those things have been brutal. I just rubber mallet that shit.

It's probably simpler for them to send each store enough full cases to more than cover its needs than to have to prepare a special partial case for each store. The extra shippers are good to hang onto for flexing, and also to replace any that suffer a blowout due to yahoos overstocking.

Oy. I think the TM who assembles bikes has a mallet in his toolbox. I'll ask him if I can borrow it the next time I have time to wrangle those things.

I blame TLs and ETLs for the overstocking. The time limits for uboats seem to keep shrinking and overstocking is the only way you get done on time in some cases.

So how's everyone's ODL sell through?

They just clearance ticketed everything today. Better late than never.

We still have 3/4 of it left and just salvaging/defect it. I don't know how they expect us to set BTS otherwise with just 5 section from teen/tween combo to put clearance.

We created 10 pallets of ODL in order to allow us to set BTS. Not counting the five sections we left on the floor. Let's just throw money away!
