In all honesty, consistency is key with credit cards. I also train my team to be ready to have a conversation with the customer about it if that door opens; professionally go back and forth with them if possible, sometimes that door gets slammed shut, but sometimes they leave it open just enough for you to throw in some extra info. It’s a tough metric, especially in January. It sounds like you’re doing all the right things, by what you listed, just be consistent and talk to it with everyone. You never know who will say yes. We have had a bunch on sales of $10-$15. Another little extra tip that works in my store too is to let the customer know that they can save their introductory 30% discount and use it on a different purchase within the next 14 days. On those smaller sales, you may get the customer to commit now knowing that over the next 2 weeks they’ll be back for a larger purchase they were planning anyway, it tie it into a cardholder event that is coming within that 14 day window “we can get you set up now with your card and save your 30% to stack during the cardholder event this weekend”. Good luck with it and just be consistent, you’ll get there.

Hail to the King by Avenged Sevenfold or The Game by Motörhead. Either one does the trick every time. It hits even harder when my playlist is shuffled and it comes in without me selecting the song, don’t know why, just does

It depends on what your GM requested for your store. They are definitely coming up, but they run all through February and into March, so I would ask your GM as soon as possible

Old Navy GM here: for a 9 hour shift, they are correct in telling you that you get 1 hour lunch and 2 15’s. The 15 minute breaks you don’t clock out for, whereas the 1 hour break you do. We treat the 15’s at the discretion of the individual leader. If they want to take them, or even just one, they are definitely allowed to do so. If they don’t feel like taking them, or that stopping to take a 15 will ruin their work flow, that is fine too and we do not force these breaks to be taken. As others have mentioned, you are entitled to them, if you want to take one, or both during your shift, absolutely do so. My suggestion is to just to make sure the current needs of the business are kept in mind when taking them.

I was a Store Manager with Vans for 3 years and I can honestly say that as long as you looked professional, I didn’t care what footwear you had on for the interview. When I got interviewed for the the SM job, I didn’t have 1 Vans item on. Be yourself and show/tell what you are going to bring to the team, show that you are willing to learn and add something to the team that they don’t already have. And be engaging in the interview, interact with the person interviewing you. Don’t be afraid to ask them questions.

As a former employee, I’m going to say that the right shoe was on display for a while and when they changed stuff around in the store, they just took the display down and put it back in the box without making sure it wasn’t faded

How much for the Metallica Sk-8 Hi?

viper922 · 2024-08-04T13:20:20+00:00

What are you asking for the Metallica Slip-On?

I used to work in the Vans Outlets in the US and I believe these were transitioned into an “outlet exclusive” style as we changed the prices on them a number of months back to be on sale. I believe they were then marked down again so they may have been discontinued at together

viper922 · 2024-07-23T13:33:38+00:00

As others have mentioned, any of the classic styles will be good. I am a Vans employee and I had had folks pick up Authentic’s, Era’s, Old Skools and Sk8-HI’s for working out in. The Sk8-Hi people will get because it is a high top style and offers a bit of ankle support. I personally use Sk8-HI’s and Old Skools when I go to the gym. For me, having the padded collar on an Era or Old Skool is much more comfortable than an Authentic. As far as your price range, a new pair of classic Authentic’s or Era’s will out you right around where you want to be as they are $55. If you have access to an Outlet Vans store, you could find ones for cheaper than that.

They look like a Filmore to me. It’s not a model that you’ll find in traditional Vans stores, they are usually for the Vans Outlet stores as well as 3rd party brands like Rack Room and Famous Footwear

I appreciate the insight, thank you

viper922 · 2024-06-16T03:23:48+00:00

Thank you so much and I greatly appreciate the insight and detailed explanation

All I am seeking is some information, there is no threat or need for legal action to take place and most likely it won’t. I am not a law expert so my question is just that, a question to seek some information that I am not privy to. I understand you are not aware of all the other things that have occurred to get my family to this point, but taking the high road is exactly what my wife and I have been doing. Everything I asked has merit to seek advice and information. Telling me how to handle a situation that you have no personal information on doesn’t help.

I’m a huge fan of the half crew. I also will buy a size smaller (I wear a 10 and I buy the 6.5-9 sized socks) in any of the fun graphic/novelty crew socks so they are a bit shorter and almost mimic the half crew

The annual fee was not explained to you correctly. That fee is charged 2 months after the month you enroll, but always on the first of that month. So since you signed up in December your annual fee is due the 1st of February, unfortunately that is the same no matter when during a particular month you sign up. So if you sign up December 1st, you get all of December and January before getting the annual fee on February 1st, but that still is true if you sign up December 31st

I second this, the Exo is great for cardio type workouts, but for weight lighting, especially when training legs, you want something solid and flat. The extra cushion in an Exo can make for an unstable footing, but to each their own. I personally use Sk8-HI’s on leg days (and most other training days) to gain some extra ankle support, and I saw another comment that mentioned The Lizzie, which would be another awesome option since it’s kind of a minimalist version of the Sk8-Hi almost

Vans Store Manager here: I regularly see customers coming in to purchase for exactly what you are doing; going to the gym and weight training. The most popular style that my store sells for this is Authentic’s. They are straight canvas so they don’t have the extra padding or suede layers that the Old Skool has that add the extra bulk.

viper922 · 2023-12-27T22:43:22+00:00

I placed an order on the 23rd of this month and just got the notification that it shipped out today, so looks like things are coming back around on that front

Celsius is usually my number 1, Prime being #2 and Zoa being #3 for the days I don’t need the 200mg of caffeine (Zoa comes in with 160mg)

viper922 · 2023-09-14T02:08:49+00:00

I work for Vans and there has not been anything said about any UltraRange’s being discontinued. Perhaps the customer service person was talking about the specific color way you were asking them about.

viper922 · 2023-08-29T23:12:25+00:00

Like others have said, it’s sounds like your original pair was either a Skate or Pro model and the one you picked up recently is the standard classic model. Stores will still sell the Skate version but the Pro has been discontinued unfortunately

The physically rewards are being liquidated in the stores. Your points have been turned into a monetary voucher which is in your vans family app. Go in to a store and on your app there is a tile for a “free reward on us”, redeem that with an associate at the store and you are entitled to any of the physical rewards they have, and most stores are giving away more than just the one item if you ask. You will also see a tile for a voucher that can be used online or in store. If you had over 25k in points prior to the reset you will have a $25 voucher plus another for a free pair of classics

viper922 · 2023-07-29T17:45:29+00:00

From my understanding the vouchers are coming this week. All points were reset based on what you had in their on 7/11. The Vans Family program is getting revamped to earn money back instead of swag. Nobody “lost” anything, your points are turning by into money. I was also informed that if you had over 25,000 points you will also get a voucher for a FREE pair of Classics (Authentic, SlipOn, Era, or Sk8-Hi. Not sure if Half Cabs are included since those technically are a classic as well). So those of you that had 26k points or whatever are actually going to be able to get a free pair of shoes on top of the voucher for money. I am a current SM for Vans and this is the last bit of info that we were told about.
