wortmanfamily Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 How do they do these esp. When the store opens earlier? Thanks!
lilrarasmama Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Hi, I don't have the answer to that question but I would really like to know as well. Also they have sale items that are in the ad and they say friday and saturday so starting at 5 am? Thanks peeps :)
poohmansmom Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Last year at my TRU they did not bring out many of these items until right at 5am. They then cleared out the center isles of earlier door busters and brought out pallets of things that were 5am sales. I remember waiting on the $5 diaper wipes and I think the Wonder pets house. The store was not as crowded then and it was a quick checkout. I also found a couple of early doorbusters just lying around on the floor and around scanners from people who had gotten tired of waiting in checkout or had changed their mind so remember to do a sweep of the whole store if something isn't left on the shelf.
LisiLiz Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Most stores prepare days before, having their employees/managers/and or supervisors start preparing the items that are on sale and putting them in strategic places in the store, for stores that start their sales at 4am, they must be done before the shift leaves for the day to then come back at 3am to finalize any last minute items they waited to put out. Registers are already programmed for the sale prices to start ringing up and they have the cut off time a little after the hour is supposed to stop so that the people that are on line at lets say 12:45pm can still get their sale. If your lucky and that store still has an abundance of items left they might continue the sale til later just to get rid of the items. The last thing we want is to have all this left over merchandise in the stock room
lilrarasmama Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Ok thanks :) I will be at the 9pm sale and i guess I will go home for a while then shoot back on over.
fabnsab Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Last year, my store had the 5am door busters out at opening, which of course, annoyed the hell outta me.
evansmommy9902 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 They're registars also go on est, so being in Nevada, those deal ring up starting at 2am! We found that out last yr.
