I didn't put mine up.

Well I guess I'll take the sale signs down and put the fall collection sign back up...very confused.

Took my calculator out and did a price change and select guest challenge. Keep in mind, I never had to go up to the registers when I worked in the Meat Department. So I am totally new to the register usage.

Completely understandable. Next time, just hit K1 and then either hit tab or the down arrow and it will allow you to hit a % off, so type in 30 for this case. Also, never hit guest price challenge for an item like this. That option is for when a guest challenges a price and we change it, but we need the LOD to go check the price later on just to be sure (but not right at that time because we don't want the guest to wait 5 minutes for a tiny price difference).

Weekly update for 24 October.

The sad thing was, my ETL was the one that showed me that and told me to do it that way

Aw man. That thing wasn't even there when I checked several times on Monday so I didn't see it. Oh well, I should've checked when I worked on Thursday. They need to have that thing ready to go by 8 or 9am Monday morning.

I'm lucky if it's there for my Tuesday close

And, I finally got my Xmas stuff in.

 

[Asuras]

I hope I can go through all those ornaments and gift cards I received... I wonder if those Bearista Bears will sell too... In addition to the mugs, tumblers, and whatever else I got.

A lot of it will last until it gets time to clearance it, especially those damn bears and the ornaments.

 

[Yetive]

It sells pretty well for me. the bears sold fast last time .

Hahaha. send me the bears!

 

[Xanatos]

Lol I wish I could just trade some merchandise that's about the same price...

Hmm don't give me ideas...

 

[Asuras]

Now looking at key dates on the Holiday Event sheet. it says to tie order guide. How do I do that? Is it talking about the planograms (I tied them early, they said 10/31)?

Yes. my POG TL ties them all for me when they come in.

Also, we sell tons of gift cards at Xmas. I can't reorder holiday ones, and I don't know if your volume can. Either way, make sure to order lots of GCs and folders.

Another random question. Every since I started, my hands have been painfully dry. It will get worst entering winter, already have cracks bleeding. How do you guys deal with super dry hands from constantly washing things?

 

[Xanatos]

Hehe lately I have had to mess with the dishwasher and I got the detergent all over my hands several times and that stuff is concentrated as hell (washing them didn't get all of it off...). And my hands were plenty dry to begin with. So I've been moisturizing my hands several times per day for the last week and they're fine again. Just gotta keep it up for the winter lol.

 

[Yetive]

Neutrogena hand cream. It comes unscented, and works pretty well.

I've been using regular lotion but it just washes away

 

[Xanatos]

Using it during your shift probably isn't a good idea. But maybe before and after work and then before bed, that's about what I've been doing.

 

[Yetive]

If you do dishes by hand, you can get gloves. this is the stuff I like. It's kind of waxy and weird, but it works well. And Target carries it .

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Seasonal Cups are on cartwheel.

 

[radiochu]

I have really good luck with moisturizing immediately after I shower, by slathering on a thick lotion (for me, Udderly Smooth, because it's what I had from my first winter 'up north') and after it soaks in, applying a layer of Working Hands. also sold at Target. granted I shower right before bed so it has all night to soak in, but it'd probably help any time. ugh, barista hands are the worst.

If your hands are cracked too, try some Bag Balm.
It comes in a green square tin (used to use it on cows before women discovered it), real stiff ointment.
Best use is put it on before bed & wear some light cotton gloves (like they use in labs or clean rooms).
Husband's hands always cracked because of the chemicals he worked around; this stuff was great.
