What's it like to get OT regularly and work 18+ straight days. They will never know what's it like having 6-15 team members on hardlines on a nightly basis.

Classic PDAs.
We had an influx of new TMs around the time my store almost completely switched to the MyDevice system. A new TM was given a PDA that was reserved for fitting room because half of our MyDevices took steamy shits that night. You wouldn't believe how many times he asked me to help him with the functions.

#TodayTMsWillNeverKnow
Spring picnics for TMs & their families
Post-Christmas parties at a good restaurant paid for by the store
Month-long extra 10% off store brands for TMs (one month would be food, another month clothes, etc)
Having a cardboard fight in the parking lot after closing without being chased off by the ETLs (who frequently joined in)

Doing instocks with a PDA, from making substitutions to scanning softlines. Today's TMs don't know how easy they have it.

I was taught instocks right before we switched away from the sub pads. Good times.

So you got to do instocks while they were transitioning so you got to carry around a printer, my device, PDA and walkie, good times being an equipment hog.

OH MY GOD DO NOT.

JESUS CHRIST THAT WAS THE WORST.

No myDevice. We hadn't got them yet.

I always hating setting up rain checks because I had to find an item to substitute.

We were never allowed to do that because it jacked up the PCV on Sunday mornings. We had to actually scan every sign for hardlines that we could find, and softlines had to key all their signs.

I actually liked scanning the signs during ad takedown. Don't judge.

great team cards

am I even remembering the name of those correctly?

 

[redstripes]

the days before non-compliance.

RF Apps being the purpose of the PDA.

GTC to you.

That once "Fast. Fun. Friendly.".......was fun and friendly.

 

[pellinore]

That RED CARDS weren't the priority.....helping the guest was the priority!

Once upon a time.......stores were actually staffed with enough TMs to get all (or certainly most of) the work done.

That the jewelry department actually sold and changed batteries......and adjusted watchband size...and put new watchbands on the watches.....and had a "Specialist" to help keep the area zoned and relatively clean.
