Hi Dolls. There isn't much to write about. I worked yesterday and again today. We have been doing great business. Yesterday we were up more than 60 percent to LY. Woot!!!!Woot!!! Tuesday was a little weird because it was just Corey, myself, Julia and Charley working and we opened and closed out the store, and today was crazier because we had our team plus new and old faces from other stores helping us out in BS, on the floor etc. Cray!!! There was a lot of foot traffic so for the most part I was at the cash wrap ringing. During down time I helped detag and box dime outs. And when I first got in I made a failed attempt to backstock all of our old shipment. Which brings me to the unhappy news that we will be getting 81 boxes tomorrow, so its going to be another coo coo day. Anywho I'm exhausted and dreading the morning commute. I can't wait till the trains start running again. I hope everyone is doing well and is safe. Enjoy your nights.

Long Time, No Post!
This week in WACC... We had a ton of bags and other goodies go on sale. I worked on moving them off the floor and into sale. Speaking of which, let's try to keep that WACC sale clean! We don't have that many full priced handbags right now so it's really important we keep the sale bags refreshed! We have plenty more where they came from! Also, the kimchi blue flats that were on promo for $19 are now in the sale section they are all 9.99! Needless to say I cleaned up sale a bit..
Yesterday I also switched around the A-Frames. The BDG suede flat for $19 is now downstairs in the SL. Hopefully we get more in soon because we are pretty light on them. Upstairs where the suede flats where are now suede loafers with black opaque tights. Morgin wanted an entire A-Frame side with just black tights but it doesn't seem we have enough. Let's make sure there are JUST black opaque tights on there when we are closing/filling it!
I spent most of my day so far today filling (up until about 12 when it got busier). I really focused on hats and scarves. I moved a new scarf to the front table to replace the ones up there we were running low on. I also walked backstock and pulled two styles that weren't on the floor and I put those out as well. It's really important we're staying ontop of the winter WACC because that is whats really going to sell in the upcoming month.
Any downtime at the wrap should be used for filling or going through WACC backstock bins for dime outs.

1/2 Day
Hey guys. I didn't reach my goal of completing sale and marking everything down by the end of my shift today. I got cut from 7-10, so I was in from 10-3. However, I did manage to get shipment from Monday through today out. I backstocked most of the boxes, but there are still two boxes of scarves from today that need to go away. There isn't much more than that. I'll be working on the rest of the markdowns tomorrow and I left Nandi with two boxes of WACC sale boxes so that she could RF them for dime outs. That's that. Love y'all. Tomorrow.

Life is What Happens When You're Busy Making Plans
Hey guys. Today didn't go quite as I had planned. We are currently short on hours so I got cut three hours today, so instead of leaving at 12 I left at 3. As I said yesterday, we got markdowns this week. I completed the women's floor yesterday and was supposed to work in BS today. In fact, I got a lot done, just not exactly what I had originally planned. I started off tagging shipment this morning. We got replen in tights and some new socks, these are still in their box in BS, sequined berets in three colors (brown light green and cream), a new circle scarf in two solid colors, black and cream, replen in Cooperative and Kimchi Blue flats, a new style in the head warmers in 2 colors; black and light green and replen in the screen touch gloves. I backstocked the gloves and pulled a number of the other items into a box with the intention of placing them, but they are still sitting at the cash wrap. So what did I do? I completely reorganized the shoe bays. Every brand is grouped together and every style within that brand is grouped together. This was only possible because I also pulled the majority of the sale shoes out of backstock and organized them into sale. The sale shoes that are out are marked, but the ones left in back stock are unmarked; however they are grouped together on one shelf so marking them down will be very easy. I moved the onsey/return shoes to the front of the bays so that it will be easy for us to know what we have only one of; and now when Andy is looking for a Jeffrey Campbell shoe or that one Ash sneaker he doesn't have to move the bays, he can just peek up. The last problem, that has only been solved temporarily is the mountain of homeless (those without a box) shoes that were heaped into the back far left corner. The shoes that were one sided went into the "one-sided" shoe bin and those that had partners went into a box at the very top of the entrance of the shoe bay, it reads "WACC Unboxed Women's Shoes". The box is ultimately full, so when I said it is temporary I mean possibly only for today. Other than that I got out the Dolcetta oxfords which are on sale. They are hanging on the sale out stock shoe A-frame.
What is left:
1 marking down bags on the lower level and in BS
2 marking down all out stock shoes
3 getting the out stock shoes into sale
4 getting out shipment
The good thing about shipment is that there isn't much. I've been cut for tomorrow again, I'll be in a 10 instead of 7, so if Corey gives me time downstairs again there is hope that I can get everything done. Yet on top of that we also have job outs. I don't know if Anni wants us to do that sooner than Thursday, but I planned to just spend Thursday morning going through the sale boxes I made last week, the bays and then the floor. That's all for today guys. Have a good night.

Mundane Mondays
Hey guys. Happy Monday. We got a light amount of shipment today. The most interesting new product is a Kimchi Blue pump that comes in three colors; black suede, gold, and teal suede. In all we got four boxes of these shoes, and for those of us who have been working in BS for the past week and a half, four boxes of boxed shoes seems insane, but I'll lay out my plan for that later. We got a new circle scarf with pom-poms on the ends, some new necklaces, replen in the card of three globe looking earrings, replen in the black canvas KB flats (all 7s) and replen in the KB pointed toe flat with laces in brown (all 8s). I got through with shipment fairly quickly. My goal was to get everything out of boxes and plastic, however, the four boxes of shoes I mentioned earlier are in BS. We got markdowns this week on bags, skimmers and boxed shoes. I completed the markdowns for the items on the women's floor but that's as far as I got. I started tagging those untagged items in the bin under register 5 but didn't get too far. We need to stop putting items that we have available in the store in that bin. That bin should only be for items that are difficult for us to find, not items we have in the store. All that's going to happen is come Inventory one of us is going to be standing at the register for three hours trying to find skus for things that are no longer in the store. It's our job to sku items when they are returned so lets continue to do that. OK! So, for my not so grand idea. By the end of the day Wednesday my goal is to have all the markdowns completed, including back stock. Once that is done I want to get as much out into sale, which is going to free up room for boxed shoes and require me to reorganize WACC sale. I'd also like to reorganize and remerchandise the jewelry but I think it would be best to do that once the sale is entirely over. That is all I have for tonight. Have a good night guys and gals!

Friday Morning Directives
Good morning!
I'd like you to focus on filling. Priorities: Casual shoes on a-frames, full priced wallets, scarves, and JEWELRY. We came across a bunch of jewelry in the office and I'm going to leave it at the cash wrap (probably near the cleaning stuff in the cabinets). Sale jewelry needs to go out asap (and try not to buy anything while you're at it ;) ) Please also meet up with Morgin in the morning for any further direction she might have. We have a visit today so please keep your projects as clean as possible! Lets prep for those weekend sales!
Have a good morning!

Visit Eve
Hey guys I hope all is well. I processed shipment, a new scarf in two colors and replen skimmers, replaced all the big sized shoes on display with 6's and 7's in the shoe lounge, and then worked on getting as much WACC into our bays. I didn't get everything, but I tried to get as much as I could in order. I hope those of you who are closing have a 'good' close, whatever that means for each of you and I'll be in tomorrow evening to hear all about it.
Good Night Guys!

Like a Chicken without a Head
Hi team. Today was a hectic day. We didn't get much shipment but we've been getting the store ready for Friday's visit. So, needless to say everyone has been a little stressed. I started off my day by tagging shipment and then I attempted to re-merchandise the shoe lounge. Morgin wanted us to move all the boxed shoes down to the last three rows, take out the piecey boxes, the BDG and COOP shoes, and leave just the short Ecote boots so that the wall would look uniform. On the top shelf we displayed one of each boot in the smallest sizes available. I also tried to pull the display shoes that are larger than a size seven from the shoe lounge because Morgin said that when pulling samples we should always put out the smallest sizes, so 6 or 7. I was able to get to a few of them but Andy spent most of the morning getting back stock into order and I wasn't able to get to the shoe bays. Anni said she would continue working on this tomorrow and so will I. I got shipment out and towards the end of my shift got rid of the boxes and product sitting behind the wrap for the past couple days. However, I did leave the Halloween fixture box and some jewelry I will put out tomorrow. Back stock is looking good for us because Andy and Anni worked most of today getting things out of boxes and into the bays. Corey said WACC isn't expecting any boxes tomorrow so I'm going to whip through the shoe lounge and work on anything else Anni has in mind for me.
See you guys tomorrow morning

Monday Oct 15.... eleven more days!
Okay so I just wrote the longest post and it got deleted. I don't have the energy for another lengthy one so I apologize. I got out shipment, got rid of a crazy amount of old dime outs from the office, I freed up some zip-lock bags which allowed me to bag new jewelry, these bags are all labeled with today's date and what it holds, so for example "rings" or "bracelets". I processed a box of the new Ecote harness boots we got in, placed shipment (a job mostly completed by Morgin), Filled sale, there were bracelets in the baskets that had never seen the floor, these were 4.99 and sold very well. I also made sure to get this weekends best sale jewelry sale items out so we could get rid of all of them. Towards the end of the day I worked in BS getting boxed shoes out into the SL to make room for the new boxed shoes we got. On account of room there are still two boxes of boxed shoes in BS, a large one and a small one. I left two boxes at the Cashwrap. One has shipment from today that needs to go out tomorrow, the next has items that Corey and Morgin are contemplating incorporating into a Halloween fixture.
List of what we go in today:
trio ring set $16
purple pyrite necklace $16
double chain necklace $20 (few of these are out, the tangle very easily, so less is more)

"Do you like this one? How about this one?"
Hi ya'll. I hope everyone is having a good week. We ended down to LY and goal, but we still did pretty well, making a bit over 12. I was at the cash wrap for most of the day but I was able to close things out a little at a time because there were a few hours during the day and definitely at the end of the night when traffic was very light. I didn't work on any projects because there wasn't much time, however. When I left on Thursday I asked Leslie to try and finish working on marking down the jewelry, but there are still some missed markdowns, so if tomorrows opener can work on that that would be great. We should fill, especially scarves, and since the jewelry table is looking really light please go through the baskets in the office and pull sale. The items we have sold out of will be a great place to start: the geometrically shaped bracelets and the collar necklaces vanished quickly. Let's just try and sell as much as we can this weekend. Have a good weekend guys, and I'll see you on Monday.

What a week!
So we had markdowns this week which Abby has been working feverishly on! It's mostly jewelry which is awesome because we have 50% off womens sale accessories going on through the weekend. Almost the entire cluster table is on sale! I've been selling the jewelry just by talking it up at the registers. So much is on sale for $2.50!
I spent my day working in backstock on old WACC shipment. I was able to get through some boxes. It was mostly underwear, socks, tights, and some unprocessed bags. I was able to backstock or put out everything I came across however there are still boxes back there full of tights. We have a few ideas floating around as to where/how we might store them. That is to be continued..
Friday Directives:
Please spend your morning filling WACC sale. Consolidate the hanging sale shoes to one side of the frame. On the other side please peg out three scarves. They should just hang over two pegs right next to each other. The scarves on the shelfing can go onto the peg board (only three styles though, one on each peg). The empty shelf can be used for more sale boxed shoes. Please also clean up the presentation while you're putting it together. The top shelf can be filled with more sale hats. Any time left over in your morning must be dedicated to any WACC boxes in backstock. If we're about to open, just dump the contents of a shipment box into a bin and bring it up to the cash wrap to continue processing/putting it out. When you finish with that box, get coverage to grab another! Thank you!

Tuesday October 9th, 17 days till my bday
Hello WACC universe. As we expected we got 70+ boxes in this morning. Again not too many of them were WACC. We received a new wool BDG skimmer in hot pink, grey, turquoise green and black. We got a new style of gloves, replen in gloves we got probably a week ago, a new Ecote sherpa backpack, replen in jewelry, a new necklace and a new set of "love" earrings and face decorating rhinestones of some sort. Yesterday I left two boxes of WACC in back stock which I was able to put away because I was given the last two and a half hours of my shift to clean up, finish projects and get processed/unprocessed WACC in order. I was able to get to some of the older boxes from previous weeks emptied and back stocked, but the majority are filled with tights, so these are still back there. I spent the day moving around a lot and trying to get things done, but right now my mind is blank. So, these are the things I recall doing. It was refreshingly calm today, and after the last four days I was relieved. Liz worked today which was nice. She hasn't worked in months! So it was really nice seeing her. Welcome back Liz! I referred to the basket of unprocessed returns in yesterday's post; Liz began working on them today, so a dent has been made, even though they may not be complete. There are boxes at at the cash wrap right now of housewares, don't worry about them. Corey was working on them before he had to leave this afternoon and he said it was ok to leave them there till tomorrow. Overall it wasn't a bad day. I hope you guys enjoyed your Tuesday.
Tomorrow, Abby

Last Day? Lord I hope so!
Hey guys. Happy Monday. As advertised, today is supposed to be the last day of the 50% off sale. So tomorrow might turn in to a clean up day, or not; maybe they'll extend it. Apart from that, however, today was another hectic day. We got 70+ boxes in shipment, but only a few boxes were ours, so I spent the first two hours tagging samples and cleaning and organizing the cash wrap, after which I placed shipment. In shipment today we received:
Replenishment in the promo Ecote suede booties
Replenishment in the wool BDG loafers
Cable knit and suede gloves
More cable knit fingerless gloves
A new color (oatmeal) in the long thin cable knit scarf
A new Staring at Stars scarf in two colors
A new eyelashes kit with three different pairs of lashes
A new high-top BDG platform sneaker
And new necklace in two colors
All of the replenished merchandise was run to their respective places. The gloves were added to the glove and jewelry A-frame, the oatmeal cable knit scarf, which I placed before I realized that there were other colors that have not gone out, is on the upper shelf closest to the shoe shelves in the shoe lounge. The two staring at stars scarves are on the entrance table, the necklaces are on the A-frame, a sample of the platform sneaker is on one of the round tables in the shoe lounge and the eyelash kits are now part of the beauty stantions.
Outside of placement I spent most of my time at the cash wrap ringing. It was yet again another busy day, we got a good amount of returns, so for the most part I was stuck ringing. When I came in there was a basket of unprocessed returns that I wanted to work on but never got to. So for now these still need to be completed. I will attempt to do them tomorrow, but I don't want them to get to the scale they were at a couple months ago.
We have another day of overwhelming shipment tomorrow so until then. Good night.

A new high-top BDG platform sneaker
And new necklace in two colors
All of the replenished merchandise was run to their respective places. The gloves were added to the glove and jewelry A-frame, the oatmeal cable knit scarf, which I placed before I realized that there were other colors that have not gone out, is on the upper shelf closest to the shoe shelves in the shoe lounge. The two staring at stars scarves are on the entrance table, the necklaces are on the A-frame, a sample of the platform sneaker is on one of the round tables in the shoe lounge and the eyelash kits are now part of the beauty stantions.
Outside of placement I spent most of my time at the cash wrap ringing. It was yet again another busy day, we got a good amount of returns, so for the most part I was stuck ringing. When I came in there was a basket of unprocessed returns that I wanted to work on but never got to. So for now these still need to be completed. I will attempt to do them tomorrow, but I don't want them to get to the scale they were at a couple months ago.
We have another day of overwhelming shipment tomorrow so until then. Good night.

Saturday Morning Directives
Good morning!!
If you can really focus on filling.. Please first start with WACC sale. We have tons of sale scarves, those can easily get filled, along with sale boxed shoes, and even sale hats. I think the sale bags are still pretty full but walk those too and see if there's any room for filling.
After that please fill the rest of the floor. Major focus after sale should be: The A-frames near the bathroom (especially the KB A-F needs a good fill, and the studded flats on the back..), then scarves need to be filled as well.
Please leave communication on what was filled!
Thanks and have a great morning!

SALE!!
Hey guys, it's been a long day. I moved the previous jewelry a-frame downstairs and brought the tights frame up stairs. Now jewelry is on one side of the frame upstairs and gloves are on the other. I placed the gloves that I found but Anni said there are more styles in boxes near the staging bay, so those should be added as soon as possible. Downstairs, tights are displayed on one side and bras should be on the other. However, I confused what was supposed to go where and originally placed the gloves downstairs instead of the bras. As I was upstairs for my whole shift, I was unable to complete the bra display. I don't know if Anni wants to continue working on that tomorrow because I know she has directives specific to tomorrow, but if she doesn't mind or if tomorrow's opener is complete with directives and has time, she can work on placing the bras. Morgin wants the bras hung on pegs instead of hangers, so consult her about this. Other than that it was a busy morning/afternoon. I hope we did well. See you guys tomorrow afternoon.

Friday Morning Directives
Good morning! Soo.. the face outs next to the shelving in the shoe lounge already happened. However, I still need the D&O four buckle tote to be moved. If you can take down the face outs they are on. Take the brown 'staple tote' and move it into sale, and put the four buckle bag in the middle face out where the brown one was. If you could spend the rest of your morning working on shipment, that'd be amazing. We have a new BDG ankle booty that came in this week that's still in boxes. If you could get those out onto the shoe lounge shelf, and backstock the second to top shelf of boots, I think that'd really help drive boot business for the weekend. The boxes are over near the tights in backstock near the denim bay. You can probably recognize the boxes because they are wider then the others. If you can not find them, please ask Andy I believe he is the one who showed me where they were to begin with.
Main focus: bag move, shipment, filling.
Thanks a ton!
See ya @ 2

I'm BACCCKKKKk!
Hello friends! It's nice to be back on earth aka upper level. I'm going to miss my guys downstairs, but change is good, or so I'm told. Anyway, yes today is Monday, the first of October, so new school/work week and new month. We got a good amount of shipment in. WACC got in a new necklace, which is represented on a 'neck-frame' on the oval table near Mink Pink table (sorry don't know any zone names for Women's yet), a new leopard print bootie that is currently on one of the entrance girls, replen in socks, the DO studded wedge bootie, a new scarf in two colors that is hanging on the back of the rack down stairs near the staircase, a new knitted hat in grey and blush, replen in the nyx matte cream lipstick, a new cream color in the BDG wedged sneaker we got in black last week (also showcased on an entrance chick), replen in black pointy-toed skimmers, a new studded cross shoulder bag in pink and black and the envelope clutches we got months ago in two colors as well; mintish green and black, and new mittens. I processed and placed everything but the skimmers and the hats and gloves. I also restocked and reorganized the socks on the A-frame downstairs and RF'd and marked down the sale skippies and Mary Jane's in the shoe lounge. Other than that, I know Anni has a few projects for us this week, so lets look forward to that. We did a little over 19 yesterday and our goal was set for a bit over 9 today, so we'll see tomorrow. Till tomorrow afternoon, BYE!

Weekly Directives
We ended the week +10%! vs company which was -2%! Word go WACC!
Successful Classes: 157 scarves +63%, 162 necklaces +32%, 312 boots +62%
Opportunity Classes: 311 casual shoes -5%, 151 handbags -25%, 152 hats -39%
I am closing all this week so I'm trusting Abby, Nandi, and Nico to hold it down while I'm learning closing procedures. It's really important we follow the directives this week, especially because I won't be here in the morning to assure everything gets done. I delegated the projects so everything should be able to get down by the end of the week. Pleaaaase leave communication on what did/didn't get done.
Directives:
Tuesday: Please work on shipment per usual. Get out as much as you can. If you need help with any placement please ask Morgin.
Wednesday: Please work on shipment per usual. Get out as much as you can. If you need help with any placement please ask Morgin.
Thursday: A-Frame switch!! Abby, I know we spoke about this. But I'm going to type it out anyways. SO, the jewelry A-Frame is going downstairs where the tights A-Frame is. The tights A-Frame is coming up near the cash wrap. We're doing a big swap here. The new tights A-Frame is going to house tights on the back and bras on the front. The new jewelry A-Frame is going to house jewelry on the front and gloves on the back. I know this is a big project so please begin working on it ASAP when you come in Thursday. I would take care of the A-Frame downstairs first, because it'll be easier to work on the jewelry and gloves while you're next to the cash wrap. Please try to fill bras from backstock, especailly the scalloped lace bra and the triange lace bra! I'll be in at 2 so we can touch base.
Friday: Today I need some bags switched out. The D&O four buckle tote (it's on promo, on the high face outs in the shoe lounge, comes in a few colors) can be condensed and moved to where the brown D&O 'staple bag' is. (This is the D&O promo bag that comes in brown, blue, and black in the SL). The brown staple bag is on sale so it can be placed in the sale section. THEN, the empty standards next to the shelving in the shoe lounge needs to get face outs. Please add three face outs going down and add a bag to it. I was thinking one of two things, either the East West tote can be pulled from upstairs and filled into the face outs (and double rep 1 of the colors, because the black is on sale). OR, due to the wall near the cash wrap coming down we will have a lot of misplaced backpacks, so perhaps we could add backpacks down there next to the shelfing.
Saturday: Please work on WACC sale. The top shelf of sale hats can be backstocked. Bump up the other hats to the highest shelf and bump up the shelf of scarves. This should create an empty shelf to add more sale boxed shoes. They should be organized in backstock so please grab whatever you think will sell that has full quantities. Please also fill sale scarves (The floral lace eterntiy and netted color blocked scarf, already in sale, are both selling very well so perhaps fill those instead of putting a new sale scarf out). Please also fill sale casual shoes on the peg board. We should have more of the silver 9.99 KB flats in backstock. Check the first WACC bay, they're in a bin.

Direction:
- PLEASE keep casual shoes filled. Those A-Frames in the back are so easy to fill. Keep an eye on the KB flats, the BDG studded flats, and the pointy BDG skimmers. We have two promos going on for these shoes right now, let's keep them filled!
- Tyler RF'd the clutches on Sunday and there are a ton on sale. So this need to be organized (two/three bottom shelves dedicated to sale clutches..) and filled with full priced wallets.
- Any downtime needs to be spent on filling.
- The Mary Janes in the SL need to go. Most of them are on sale. This will create another shelf to add more boxed boots.
New department..
Soooooo....I've been moved to Woman's, BUT I need someone to add me to the blog so I can see whats popin on their side:)
