Formina, we haven't started Boys Toys yet, but I did see a box marked Boys Action. Could it be in that box?
I think I'm missing my Star Wars one, unless they packed it in with another one.
I cannot wait to see if i am a store for the trees to build for lawn n garden? they look really cool.
Star Wars was in a large fat box marked Boys Action Star Wars.
Okay, now that I have a few signing tm watching, are you having problems with your 18" one up single hooks? I have gone as far as tossing all mine twice and reordering to see if I just got a bad batch. The "ears" that go into the spider clip are fragile and break off too easily. I've never had signs fall like I have in the past year......
Anybody know a part # for the hooks on the softlines signs in juniors RTW?
You know, the ones where the signs just slide on except sometimes some idjit decides we have to store them in boxes built into the back of the sign and you E decides to throw out the sign without checking with you?
The ones used on the former GO International fixtures? I will check and get back to you.
Yea them.
Thank you very much.
Normally don't have a problem with times, but your right, Halloween was way off!

The trees look nice. They are big and easy to build. They attach to a cardboard shelf fixture, that also needs to be built, so it looks like the tree is growing out of it.
ok guys, i'm working on moving my signing guy, who has been with target over a decade, away from signing (at least most of the time).
he goofs off. he's throwing stuff away. if it doesn't scan into location, it gets chunked... even if it clearly says "furniture display---set 4/4/14, do not toss". i've coached him several times. the last straw was that he threw away a carry forward fixture set a few weeks ago. he bragged that he knew it was carry forward and we would need it for patio, but if they wanted him to keep it, they shouldn't have left it sitting on the fixture room floor. it had a note on it saying "hey we took this down per stl, didn't know where to place it". we had to reorder it and spend a couple hundred bucks. it's little stuff like this constantly. so my question....
is there a better way that i can follow up with him, know his workload, etc.? he can do more. he's been there a long time in the same position, and i think because no one else in our store has done signing, he thinks he's irreplaceable, even if he's not getting his job done.
whats the best way to train a new person? someone to at least help and maybe get our current signing guy a little more excited about coming in? thanks for your help!
My question why did the PTL allow this very valuable fixture to sit on the floor of their fixture room not have it put away properly at the time it was taken down?

GO White Peg Hooks
Part #: 4290823
because this ptl was out for support help training a new ptl next door. the STL had the salesfloor take it down off an aisle and flex bulk items in its place because he didnt like the way it looked. basically, he ptmed the aisle we had set a few days before and the tm apparently didnt know what to do with it.
my guys know if the fixture room is wrecked they come to me, and i coach whoever needs it. i coached 2 flow tm who took down sss a couple weeks ago, 3 sl tm for their shelving, and 1 hl tm last week for dumping pegs in the floor. i know it seems time consuming, but they seldom do it again. if they don't own up to it, then we huddle and the entire team gets to have "fixture room time". i'm not a babysitter, and its not fair to my team to have to pick up after grown folks. but that fixture was an example. he also threw away the xmas signing snowflakes because he "didnt know how they went up". he didnt seek to understand, he just chunked 'em.
Part of the signing job is making it up as you go along, you just get used to it (which is why training is a bit of a problem).
Don't have the fixture you need, make something.
They didn't send you the signs you need, order it: then figure out how to make due till it comes in.
Sign got crushed in shipping? See above.
It's all part of the job and your guy sounds like he's hit the end of his rope.
Finding him something else to do and getting some new blood may be your only hope of getting back on track.
