Texting is for kids. REAL people visit the store or even the website

It's furstrating getting bounced back and forth when the first person could've made sure I got to the correct department the first time.

Good idea. I'd rather read your email than have to wait for the paper or go to your store.

With this laptop having 500 gb hard drive space, 4gb (up to 8) of Ram an "i5" processor, Windows 7 OS, MS Office along with Anti-virus software would make this a great asset for the four year student..! I know if I had this package, I know I would have a reliable laptop the duration of my school days.

In defense of the original poster, I'd say this one is interesting. The spin I would put on it is simply to use a shared calendar like google calendars. Then you can check it from any smart phone, or if you don't have a smart phone, could check it from your home computer.

I'm not sure how feasible this is considering the systems the stores may use to enter and maintain the schedule.

The other issue frankly would likely be business priority. To build a system, and to maintain a system to tie into existing systems may be cost prohibitive. Other initiatives would likely be higher up the list for spending budget on.

Posted 2 days ago in response to Employee related sugestions should have their own "idea x" site

It's an interesting idea for sure. It's certainly something that is technically feasible to execute. We can do this in a fashion right now, but the process isn't foolproof and has some manual settings that the admin would need to monitor.

It's in our list of things to work on for the next phase of development.

Good luck in your job search. Keep it up, stay positive.

Hey Retail Guy,

good call, somewhat of a redesign is in the works here. We're going to likely focus on some functional elements first, but there'll be some things you'll see on the user side as well.

These cables do exist, it depends on what ports you have for output on your computer (VGA, S-Video, DVI, or HDMI), and what ports you have for input on your TV (Composite, S-Video, VGA, DVI, HDMI, Component). If you can send me what you have on both ends, I can send you a link for the cables you need.

They do make them, but your computer has to have HDMI or DVI..

Why can't you just go in and check? Better yet write down your schedule. you can also add it to the calendar on your smart phone if you have one.

but in the working world you don't text to your bosses or customers. Human interaction is the key.
