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

I love how most of the Dec home pogs are calling for the 2026 storewide backer paper and we weren’t sent any. I also love that pogs are calling for both the 2026 and the home paper.

<insert thick sarcasm here> I really, really enjoy having to poke holes in shelf liner because no one thought to have any pre-punched holes to account for the use of fencing which is also on the POG.

I'm curious what kind of shelf liner/covers stores are getting that set the actual wood in Home Gateway (formerly Home Inno). I can't imagine they'd still be using fencing as that will cheapen the whole esthetic they're going for.

The ISM instructions look like they are accounting for ISM that might happen next year- wood looking valance headers which I didn't receive/are not on POG. So now I have a gap in Soft Decor for a graphic that looks like it hangs down from a valance header unless the ISM is coming late. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also missing new backer paper for Home Gateway.

we got the wood fixtures as a select store, others are getting it in 2027’s transition.

We got 7 pallets, 4 pallets alone are the wood cubbies - no shelf liner or fencing, it’s an actual wood cubby to hold the pillows

I'm jealous! I think the cubbies look way more polished and elevate the space much better. The only new thing I got is the round table, hoping to get that placed soon because the area is starting to look like a garage sale with merch moving POGs.

Anybody have a picture foe the new produce table/fixture?

Are the new pushers for the nuts aisle? We getting rid of the black metal ones right?

 

[jenna]

Where can I find “best practices “ for teams — POG, Pricing, Backroom, Flow/Inbound?

A little off topic but this thread is full of knowledgeable team members

 

[MrT]

Workbench should be fairly easy to find bt im not at work to give you exact directions

New pushers are being sent for Pringles and added into Lunchbox. Nuts are going to standard shelves with dividers.

We didn't get sent any pushers for Pringles - they want it on 22 inch shelves, but only sent us the left and rights, no center... So I had to order those via FUSE - I also had to order 78 replacement chip shelves since ours are all messed up.

We fully set snacks already. The reflow makes no sense and all the guests keep complaining about it.

So for the chips aisle, you're just reusing the old ones?

Yup. For the time being.

They are from before remodel / some are from like 2020 and before…

Dear Corporate [heavy sigh],
When you send all new shelves send new label holders with them.

We're using regular shelf label strip holders for the chip shelves because of this lack of foresight.

How does that work? Is it possible to pop a regular label strip holder upside down over the front lip of the shelf?


Most of our existing chip shelves were older styles and in pitiful condition, so we metal recycled those and used the entire shipment for this set to replace them. We'll have to order at least 20 more. Meantime, we're keeping multipack snacks on regular shelves.

I tried to get 78 replacements and fuse went “hold up” and are questioning us why we need replacements for the existing one. When it says in special projects to replace broken fixtures

Yes, the label strip holder is on upside down. Doesn't look great but it does the job.
