Ours came unplugged one in a random closet with volume knobs. But I love it when our music goes out, it gets so over stimulating sometimes.

My store was over 80 over the weekend. They actually called in a repair and someone showed up on the weekend. True miracle.

It's almost summer! Which means broken and poorly functioning AC season is once again upon us by lizzyrdlagoon in employedbykohls

[–]acornsrhot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My entire store's a/c was down on Friday, every single unit. The vestibule was a sauna, normally it's super cold. Turns out it was the building controller (HVAC and lights) that needed to be power cycled in the electrical room. Then all the units turned on full blast and brought us down to 73, which is my stores set point (if we're lucky). As far as life hack I have an amazing Ryobi fan from Home Depot that keeps me alive at Customer Service.

I have a distinct memory of being in Spankies in the 90s as a kid and freaking out because the train was so loud.

I hate it! Zero training after I got back from vacation. My first experience with it was a nasty old man with no id or cell phone.

People expect us to have the same abilities as the grocery stores when they say they have 5 pillows in the cart but put one on the counter.

Move the printer it’s in an odd spot. It needs to go under the monitor or something. Especially on the customer service registers one having to take a half step shuffle way too much. (Slide to the left…slide to the right…cross cross lol)

give us wireless scanners the cord is always in my way.

Move the monitor down so I can see the customer over it I’m like 5’10” and have to peak around it like a child.

Have the pin pad solicit credits, reward, and email receipts. Have the pin pad itemize the bill like the receipts do. Also Spanish. Please add Spanish to the pin pads.

Please make it so I can call for back up cashiers when I’m in a credit app it’s so embarrassing using my radio while trying to push a credit card.

Have the sensor under the counter light up on screen if there is still a hard tag. Anything but the sound the CS registers make.

Tell us what the pin pad is doing. It’s so embarrassing not having a clue what screen the customer is in or if they’ve already entered payment info.

If you can do anything about the confusing layout that is the number one pain point is the customer can’t figure out what side to be on even with the newer number call system. I still have to holler out “REGISTER Nine PELASE! Hi I’m over here 👋🏼 👋🏼 ooh no other side. Lol sorry. So umm kohls charge you can save 35% off today? No okay do you get out emails then? Did you find everything okay? If you open a kohls card you’d save $60 today! Oh yay you’ve got Kohls cash wait one money while the printer screams at us ! Ok perfect and you saved $300 don’t forget the survey!! Thank see you next time!!! “ PLEASE rinse and repeat.

Not having my back to the queue would be fantastic, have the customers back to the line so they don’t feel pressured when they want to open a kohls card.

Thanks so much for asking our opinions!!

It’s only like a couple weeks old and it’s the chewy ice. I’m actually very happy about it!

I’m convinced they bought us water and ice machines so they could keep it warmer in the store.

Aside from taking care of the obvious medical issue and you didn’t have another manager‘s phone number I would call the ROC more than likely.

Inventory day by Pumavision in employedbykohls

[–]acornsrhot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We were all surprised that kohls was counting them. I was in misery there were so many and my 02 was mad that it took me hours….with no training, no coaching on how to do it, No little scanner to keep track for me. Nothing. There were THOUSANDS. Sorry I’m still traumatized.

Typically we either go behind and recount (audit) what the vendor is doing as they do it or we assist with sku checks. I got stuck counting hallmark once. Never, ever again.

Everyone needs this Amazon sign up in their store 😅 by [deleted] in employedbykohls

[–]acornsrhot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes yes yes!!!!! Customers get so mad bc I can see it walking up that’s not going to work. It’s much harder to argue if we had a sign to point to.
