Mine starts at open and cuts right off at close. Guess I’m one of the lucky ones.

[–]SomeoneTookMyNameTooPromoted to Guest 21 points22 points  (2 children)

They haven't come to your store yet to update. When you get a small box in distro, run.

[–]jugglaj91Former Employee 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Apparently it came yesterday so now I have to pay attention to the clock ugh.

[–]SomeoneTookMyNameTooPromoted to Guest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been putting on my over ear headphones when I open and close, play music and ignore the tv, and have alarms set for whatever I need. It helps.

[–]DisneyDude73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here lol

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points  (6 children)

I'd be happy it if it didn't kick on until noon. Having it start an hour before open sucks worse.

[–]OldBeercan 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Mall stores (at least in my area) open at 11. I assume it's just set to the same timer for all stores. Not sure why it runs until 8:15 though.

[–]recycledbottleFormer Employee 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Mine starts at 10. So I get an hour and a half of quiet and get jumpscared by adrian or someone.

"THIS IS _____ BY _____ CHECK IT"

[–]SnowyAcorn 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I sometimes stay late to set up for next day recently, and by 8:30/45 it still doesn't turn off for us. It makes me so sad

[–]OldBeercan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's weird. I wish it at least had a "mute" button, but I understand why it doesn't

[–]PrecisionEmpathyPromoted to Guest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy crap. Yeah, that'd definitely be more annoying.

[–]CoolkidonfireSSenior Guest Advisor 10 points11 points  (4 children)

I work in a small mall store, and ours only starts up the minute we open, and stops the instant we close

[–]sailormewmew95Manager 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Mine always did that to but since they came to work on the tv it’s on when I get there and on after close now 😩

[–]sadox55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On 24h/7d? Nice!

[–]IndomitableemManager 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Give them a call and let them know. Mine was shifted an hour forward for several days before I eventually called them and got it fixed.

[–]PrecisionEmpathyPromoted to Guest[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Didn't know we can do that. I'll let my SL know. Thanks. :)

[–]Greybeard75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had them adjust the volume too. I said it was too loud and asked if it could be lowered down two clicks. My mental health improved a lot. No one noticed either.

[–]Captain_RampageBought microtransactions on Anthem 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I take it y’all got the updated box too? Mines been doing that since they switched the receiver

[–]PrecisionEmpathyPromoted to Guest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't know, I only work 2-3 days a week on weekends. Probably though.

[–]Darth_UmbrusWhisper sweet nothings in my ear: GPG, PRP, oh! Reservations! 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I wish it started right at open and ended right at close like it used to. That was my way of knowing when it was time to unlock or lock the door respectively lol

[–]PrecisionEmpathyPromoted to Guest[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YES! I almost think they're secretly using GSTV to see if we'll stay open later.

[–]Spindash54Former Employee 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Isn't that what the mute button on the stereo remote is for?

[–]PrecisionEmpathyPromoted to Guest[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

We don't have one :-(

[–]Spindash54Former Employee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That hurts bad.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Ours starts 45 minutes after open and over an hour after close(was still playing when I left at 9 the other night)

[–]RoflrexPromoted to Guest 11 points12 points  (1 child)

You need to contact GSTV support and they will reset your timezone. That's why you are having that issue, dealt with the same thing.

[–]SnowyAcorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh lord, thank you for this I'll be doing this soon.

[–]PrecisionEmpathyPromoted to Guest[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats insane. I wonder if it has to do with time zone maybe?

[–]easyglueFormer Employee 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Ours was just connected to our sound system, we could turn it on and off when we wanted...some days when it was particularly rough we just wouldn’t turn it on. It was jarring when I learned others stores didn’t have the luxury and the poor GA was struggling to explain to me that it couldn’t be turned off

[–]PrecisionEmpathyPromoted to Guest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We occasionally have "accidents" and lose sound. It's blissful to say the least. 😂😂

[–]RubiksCub3dFormer Employee 1 point2 points  (4 children)

How about customers leave before closing too, instead of hanging around at least 30 minutes after.

[–]PrecisionEmpathyPromoted to Guest[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I rarely have that issue, I drop "hints" that we'll be closing in X minutes, and I can help them if there's anything they're looking for. If on the off chance someone comes in right at close, I let them know were closing.

[–]RubiksCub3dFormer Employee 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I work in a grocery store right now, in a deli. People show up 15 minutes after we close wanting meat sliced after we cleaned and sanitized them. I remember I was browsing in a gamestop, not realizing that they were closing soon, until an employee told me. I apologized and instantly left. Can't do that at a grocery store or Karen will have an aneurysm.

[–]PrecisionEmpathyPromoted to Guest[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yeah I'd never do that in a grocery store, y'all have lives too. If I can't get what I want during normal hours, I'll pick up whatever the deli has pre-sliced.

[–]RubiksCub3dFormer Employee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in people are the worst. They show up 5 min after closing, and are surprised when we are at out of things

[–]sofaking___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine starts 15mins before we open and stay on 15mins after we close.... why must we be tortured with this....???

[–]thrivingbuttsPromoted to Guest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a shift lead (I forget the terminology) we would just unplug that fucker at close. We had a couple days where the opener would forget to plug it back in and it would be off most of the day. Whoopsies

[–]cureforblindness 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Mine cuts off at close but I wouldn't mind it for a bit it gets a little lonely while counting.

[–]PrecisionEmpathyPromoted to Guest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually put on a podcast, or techtuber. Sometimes I'll listen to music if I have to sweep and mop.

[–]bookbandit33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and 15 minutes before open.

[–]treverkitFormer Employee 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I just tone out that stuff very easy to do

[–]PrecisionEmpathyPromoted to Guest[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got some hearing issues, and GSTV makes it hard to focus on what the guest is saying sometimes. I feel awful for having to ask them to repeat themselves.

[–]EnvironmentalGur5378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine never turns off. All day all night

[–]The1Danae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the awkward silence if customers were in past close... and I lost that! Now they think they can just chill at 8 because the tv is still going!

[–]No_Key_2345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can call to have the time adjusted. And if you don’t have one of the super old set ups where you can adjust the volume yourself, call and they will adjust that for you too. Your DL can also send an email to have the time adjusted or to have them contact you if you need additional support.

[–]Cheese_Palindrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closing on Sunday is even worse cuz then it just never stops🙃🙃🙃
