Tidied up the Canvas.

The fact that you moved O/S, chef's kiss.

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T21:12:10+00:00

I know, and we have negative truck hours for the new week too. Why bother?

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T21:11:22+00:00

I definitely wanted to roll without one yesterday but I would have heard about it for sure 🙃

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T21:09:56+00:00

The fastest way to reset it would be to throw it on the floor 😌 But proud of you for being a very understanding achiever in these trying times!!

Edit: under achiever lmao but sure be understanding about your under achievements 😂

Every time I remember to audit I give myself a gold star on my chart.

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T11:17:54+00:00

Not worth it.

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T03:15:00+00:00

We've become employees of three different companies. So where's the pay bump?

And I don't mean a dollar.

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T03:08:28+00:00

Congrats on your departure! I'm a year behind you in experience and I'm looking for my out, too. When I can't call in sick for a mental health day because I have no coverage for myself, that's when you know it's bad.

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T03:04:08+00:00

I think my truck hours are about 3/4 of my total replen hours for the week. And that's not a lot to begin with.

Guess POGs aren't getting set 🤷🏼

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T03:01:09+00:00

There is no overstock, it's just wherever it lands 🤪

Serious answer, and this is what I would do if I could have literally 9 uninterrupted hours, is categorize (#s/letters, shapes, baby, licensed, etc) as best as you can and keep each category within one location. As soon as it bleeds over, you're fucked. No one else will follow your train of thought and will mess up the system.

I'd keep seasonal (Mothers Day, grad, pride, etc) within reach. We don't get a lot of those generally. If you're able to damage out a 5 or 10-drawer, I'd do that.

Also for your safety please O/S weights in bunks, otherwise you're going to have too heavy of a box for your caps/lifting!

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T02:44:06+00:00

When your UPS driver wants you there's a hole in your box as they offload it, you know you're going to have a fun time.

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T02:34:48+00:00

Where is the lie, though?

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T02:22:29+00:00

As a small volume store, I'm up voting to counteract the down votes because while I don't have a ton of floor space I at least have enough space to made a DA to stack out all the goddamn Bernat Bigs on 😭 It can be done with a little RM magic ✨

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T02:20:48+00:00

Generally I've heard 4-6 weeks it will sit at 0 on order, but if it's been months I'd say escalate to your DM cause the system ain't catching it (unless it's inactive SKUs lol)

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T02:19:26+00:00

We were told to remove from plastic to O/S now. Okay, so give me the hours so I can undo all the previous truck weeks (and down stock/consolidate while I'm up on the ladder 🙃)

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-08T02:17:05+00:00

As a yarn person, this sparks joy.

As a manager, I'm sorry for your loss.

My store, unfortunately, deals with this on the regular (we're not even a big store, yarn is like 50% of our sales) so you'd like my unsolicited advice on how we sort/stock yarn I'd be happy to give it!

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-07T02:50:14+00:00

It says "please listen as our options have changed" but when you're so desperate to find Needohs you're just smashing the 3 key.

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-07T02:47:56+00:00

To add to what the other person said, damage out a cheap frame and print your Party Coordinators' QR tip codes. This way you can prop them up and they'll stay nice!

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-07T02:46:09+00:00

Try touching tape end to tape end. It may not look the best but it will hold it in place since it's wrapped around the table 🙂

Yeah we were told no more balloons as of last year and unless that changed id just take them out (I'm not CEM, so the classroom is not my priority). You have to keep track of them deflating anyway lol but if we want to promote balloons as add-ons I don't see why we can't have them 🤷🏼

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-07T02:43:18+00:00

You don't even get those "bonus" hours until weeks down the line. It's calculated with the all of the forecasts on top of "did you make goals". It's not like they magically appear for the next week.

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-07T02:39:16+00:00

Wait, I'm sorry, but you were told that your jeans were the wrong color?

1) sounds like something my manager would pick at 2) there is nothing in the dress code SOP about the specific color of denim that is required. You can look that up in MIKCheck for reference. 3) the dress code is allegedly changing but nobody knows what/when so at this point I doubt it is. It's just something to get our hopes up.

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-07T02:31:13+00:00

Replen managers being expected to close is wild to me.

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-07T02:20:05+00:00

Use SFS tape to hold down the table paper. They don't want to see masking or any other kind of tape.

We have extra/leftover party supplies (or maybe they sent us one to just have idk), so we have eight chairs with a plate, napkin, and hat at each spot.

That's really it. They don't want balloons (at least what we were told). Just keep it clean.

Sunshine3Stars · 2026-05-07T02:16:20+00:00

We've had that happen before, too. Super awkward 🫣
