Since it's so close to Christmas, we're adopting a "stuff the shelves full" attitude toward certain items we've been getting in. Specifically, toys and electronics. This means lots of pulling stuff out of the backroom, flexing (moving stuff around) to create additional facings for stuff we have a lot of, and making new labels.
Of course, we don't just shove stuff anywhere and everywhere. We keep it in the aisle it's already in. There was enough room we could purge all the toys out of the backroom. There are no more toys back there.
A few days ago, somebody being described as a "toy rep" came in. I don't know exactly what this means. I don't know if this person represents a vendor, or works out of the corporate office. What I do know is this person was so impressed with the way our toy department went, he raved about it to management.
And took quite a few pictures of the department, which were passed on to corporate.
Who then sent the pictures around to the other stores in the company, to show them what their toy departments ought to be looking like.
This is kind of a big thing for us. Whenever corporate takes pictures to demonstrate to stores how things should look or work, they take them at one of the stores closer to the corporate office. In particular, the flagship store.
It doesn't come with anything other than an "attaboy," but it's a feather in our caps.
