Posted 7 days ago in response to Make it possible to text for our schedule

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 7 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.

Posted 12 days ago in response to Have a "Ship to Store" option for items that are "Available Online Only"

Hi Coral

That's great news! When I tested it out for some random items I didn't see any option to "ship to store" so I'm hoping that in the near future most items that are currently "only available online" will soon have that option available for them. Thanks.

Posted 12 days ago in response to Gift Cards

So you want a giftcard if you buy x worth of stuff? This might be a good idea. Spend $75 or more and get a $10 or $15 gift card. This would work well during the holidays and black friday
