April Shop Talk

Shop Talk The place where you can find updates and info about the latest happenings in the Thrift Shop.

Hello Lovely People, Happy April! I don’t know about you, but I have been soaking in the sunshine and longer days! The Spring is off to a great start. I’m excited for more sunshiny days ahead! Here are the updates for this month. :)

Fake $100 Bill! As many of you know, we regularly have customers pay with $100 bills. Generally, this is not an issue. However, recently, we had someone pay with this bill that was actually a prop for a movie. The bill looked and felt just like a legitimate $100 bill. All this to say, if you’re cashiering, please double check large bills. We’ll be getting special pens to mark large bills that tell us whether or not they’re real. “FOR MOTION PICTURES PURPOSES” “IN PROP WE TRUST” Encouraging Cash By each register, you will now see this sign. We are encouraging our customers to pay with cash for small purchases ($3.00 or less). As of right now, this is not a requirement, simply an encouragement. This applies to us as well! If you can have cash on hand for small purchases that would be greatly appreciated. Pink Tags Have Moved The $4 Pink Tag rack that lived outside by the entrance has been moved! We’ve relocated all pink tags to the back wall (opposite of the dressing rooms). We can fit more in this space and customers notice these discounted items much more when they’re inside! Because of this move, we have decided to rid of our small lingerie section. Sports bras are still sold in the sportswear section, and we’ll have a special pajama sale during Christmas. Dates for Floor Training Cashier trainings have been a wonderful success! Thank you so much to all of you who have participated and are now signing up to cashier during the week! I’m now offering trainings for the Floor Associate/Floater position in the Shop. The first set of Floor Trainings will take place at 10am on Friday, April 25th and Saturday, April 26th I will have a signup sheet in the kitchen area. As always, you’re free to text or email me which date you’d like to join, and I’ll mark it down. I’m Out of Office Final note: I will be out of town from April 18th-23rd on a family vacation. Please check these dates and signup to help in the Shop if you can! I would greatly appreciate heading out knowing that the schedule is full! Thank you, thank you! Don’t party too hard without me. 😜 Thank you so much for reading! Until next time!
