It's really store-specific. I know our store won't hold things for BF, because then other customers complain about the "first come first served" aspect of it all. We actually have our toys out on the floor now. I recommend doing what others have suggested and go with a partner and stake a place out in line, and the other do the shopping. Most of our stuff is out now, and some we even have backstock on. Cabbage Patch dolls are in short supply, and we don't have any of the original dolls, just the glowing ones this year - go figure. The electronic items will not be put out until that morning, and in our store, the Loss Prevention Manager is going to be handing out numbers outside to people in line that are there to buy the limited supply items. The ads do say "limit 2 per customer" this year, and I guess we're going to try and enforce it. I think they're doing this at every store. Jewelry items are pretty limited also, but it's hit or miss. Some things we have a lot of, and some things we don't. We're supposed to get a special jewelry shipment UPS tommorrow, but I don't know what's in it until we open it up. If I get more info about supply numbers, I'll post it after work tomorrow. Oh, and our store has a few of the Smart Cycles, but not many. We usually don't get in a lot of the "big box" items. Like the telescopes... I think we have 6 this year.

Just wanted all Kohl's customers to know that we've updated our registers since last year. If you're purchasing things that have rebates, we now have an option to reprint your receipt for you to send in with rebates (since most rebates require you to actually send in the receipt, which you might need later if you have to do a return or exchange or any customer-service related function). So please remember to ask your cashier to print extra receipts for any rebates you may have. The poor cashiers are going to be so busy that they might not remember to, or more than likely, they probably won't know all of the items offering a rebate. This will really help them out, and will help y'all out too. Happy shopping!

Yes. Pick-a-day coupons are for Kohl's card holders only. Unless the cashier isn't paying attention... (wink wink)

At our store we got a truck in this morning full of toys, and we put out bulkstacks of the games with rebates. Luckily this year the boardgames came with the rebates attached to the package, and with a pad attached to each pallet. We also got in a couple of pads of forms and did lots of reprints of them. The rebate forms are available on the store's computers, so one can usually be found for them.

Another Kohl's associate here (5 1/2 years and counting)... We usually don't price adjust at all for Early Birds, so most likely stores will not do price adjustments for the doorbuster sales, but will do them for the "regular" sales that are going on that day.

"We'll probably start there, but we just need to run to customer service to have some price adjustments done. I need to call and be sure they will be there to do that at 4." Sorry, Kohl's doesn't do price adjustments for early birds. And you'd better get there early if you want jewelry. We're doing the "take a number" thing this year, and quantities are limited. (just a bit of friendly advice from a Kohl's employee)
