Starbucks Team Leaders

There is a Boo drink?! Didn't see that when I left at 3pm today >.< What is it and what is the recipe :O
 
How are you guys handling the non "No Peeking" Merchandise? Keep them in their boxes and stuffing them away until its time. Or opening them up and organizing them into a bin or something? I have the time now finally. I kinda want to open everything up (Including the "No Peeking"). Just to do a inventory account of everything because I have my inventory coming up in a 2 weeks. And want to stay ahead of it while I have the spare time.
 
It's great to be proactive like that. I was pretty happy to have inventory before Xmas came in.
If you have the time now, I would definitely detrash the Xmas mdse. It does depend on how much space you can get as to how you will store everything. I would unpack everything into repacks. Many of the mugs are in gift boxes, and what isnt leave in the cellophane wrappers to keep from scratching. Get rid of as much packaging as you can while keeping the mdse safe.
I would unpack and separate the retail food/coffee items, and also put them into repacks. The 5lb coffee, syrups, etc make room for in BOH. Also put the Xmas GCs under the register. Everything should be palletized and waiting for you.
Because you have inventory, I would print the TINV and go ahead and fill in the counts on the stuff that goes back into the repacks.
When the signing gets in, I try to build what I can early as well.
 
The "no peeking" signs are for company operated stores that have so much holiday inventory before the set that they have to put some of it in their seating area because there just isn't room for that much extra stuff. It's really weird. But it probably does get guests interested in it so they'll check it out when it gets displayed on 11/10.

We are allowed to look at it. And you should definitely de-trash as much stuff as you can, as Yetive said. This is by far the biggest set of the year and it will take your entire 8 hour shift, so you'll want to do as much prep as possible.
 
So, I got my holiday order today. Two good sized pallets but none of the items that I ordered lol. I only ordered like 6 items and none of them showed up. I'm hoping they appear tomorrow, but I think I still have enough of everything even if I don't get that stuff. It was just weird to have to put away that much stuff and I didn't order a single case of it.
 
Same thing happened to me but a good amount was missing. I am all out of Venti Cold Cups. I have the holiday ones only but can't use those yet. >.<
 
I printed out one of those updates on the front page of workbench. The one that has the frappula on it.

I'm confused about some of the wording (well, less about the wording and more about what the effect would be). It says "The Fall merchandise below will be part of the Halloween PLU event that starts Nov. 1. Merchandise any remaining fall product in the Halloween section when markdown begins."

Tomorrow we'll be putting the Thanksgiving stuff out and the summer stuff (that we received... maybe 5-6 months ago) finally goes on clearance. It sounds like they want us to take all of the fall stuff back to seasonal. So if we're putting that stuff in the back and then hopefully selling through the remaining summer stuff, all we'll have left is core merchandise. I'll be able to spread some things out and make it work, but why take the fall stuff back to seasonal if I have room in Starbucks?
 
So the set we are setting Friday will include clearance out the summer crap out in addition to the Anniversary and Fall stuff?! Oh thank god, we have been sitting on a lot of stuff since I took cover. Need to get rid of them all to put out all the damn holiday stuff.
 
We're setting it tomorrow, and it sounds like the fall stuff won't go clearance until 11/1, but I'm not sure on that so I'll try to check tomorrow.
 
I'm so lost. lol. so I know the fall stuff goes up 30% off but what summer stuff are you guys talking about? I have a big box of cups with those metal straws in my backroom from the old tl... can these go out too? and what do you mean put the stuff in seasonal? like out of sales floor??
 
I only have a couple of summer cups left, so no biggie. My plan is to sign my fall stuff in place. None of that sold very well for me this year, and if I move it, it will look pretty empty.
 
I have my siren's eye in hand. It says to put all the Fall stuff on the feature cubes with the green 30% signs up. No mention of putting them away.
 
You should have received plastic replacement straws for the metal ones. They can be sold, and they are part of the summer mdse we are talking about.

Yes, they mean fall mdse will follow the Halloween PLU schedule, and you can put it in seasonal.

That's what I thought but where did summer cups come up?

Summer cups have been at regular price so far. They will go on clearance Friday.

If you still have the ones that were involved in the recall, this will be your last chance to sell them.

I did not receive the plastic straws... just promoted to TL and I'm sure the team just tossed them. so what are my options with these cups now?

Try ordering them. Or if you have any of the packs of straws to sell, I'd open it up and put it in the tumblers because you'll get more sales out of it that way.
 
I'm not sure if you can order more straws. They came in FedEx envelope if you feel like searching your store.

Ask your DM about getting more, or about selling the cups without straws. I have some left, as they sent extras in case people wanted to exchange for their metal ones, so ask around to other stores too.
