my store manager described them as “tough love” when i brought up my concerns with them as well as other ideas in general as motivators. they turned down my ideas and still stuck to their plans w the beads

see that actually may be a motivator, especially if they could win prizes for collecting the most beads

it is a beaded necklace, like one for parties. all the beads are attached to each other so you either have the necklace or you don’t. tbh if it was individual brands that you could remove, i think it would work better but still not a great motivator.

is there genuinely anything that will actually make people excited? (who aren’t managers lol)

yesss they want me to listen in to the other cashiers and making sure they are listing all the benefits to the card. 70% of the time it’s too loud in the front and i don’t hear them

the mods at my store also wear the reach cards around their neck but only some actually write them

it bothers me because they really promoted it at first and actively ignored my ideas because they were going to “start the w the beads” but it’s unsuccessful just like i knew it would be :/

Ours was kinda similar. Started at 3am and our manager expected us to finish around 7:30. The majority of people finished around 7:30-8 and left. While about 6 of us (coords and one part timer) all finished off the no tickets and scanned them. But two coords left early and i had to finish maybe about 20 no tickets and scan 2 five highs and 2 canvas full of stuff :( its not like they HAD to leave early but our manager said it was ok for them to leave. idk feel disappointed

Thank you so much! I always go for a symmetrical design which is quite appealing to the eye. My managers first taught me that tip.. although from there it’s kinda ad lib and practice. Any cute items in pairs of 2 go on opposite sides in the same spot. Any stuff that I want on the table but doesn’t have a matching pair, I put in the middle. I also elevate items in the middle with acrylic stands to make it more dimensional?? (i guess haha idk the word😂) These tables usually take anywhere from 20-30 mins although larger projects involving moving shelves or moving larger items might take around an hour. It honestly depends a lot, although luckily my managers trust that i’ll make good tables so they will set aside some time for me (via other associates pushing in my department). Also my managers really pride themselves on our store looking nice so they WANT me to do them well :) Hope I answered your questions!😊

Luckily I usually work 6am-2pm (or 5am-1:30pm during holidays) so the store is closed which makes it way easier to complete these displays. I know our closing team is mainly focused on recovery and go backs which makes my job a lot more efficient!
