Signs for many items are replaced yet the price stays the same week after week. Only the takedown date changes, and sometimes it is taken down before it is supposed to only to be replaced with the same exact sign.
What's the logic behind that? Paper and ink doesn't spoil!
Too many emergency signs, too many signs that are set up and taken down in less than a week for things that aren't even featured in an ad.
To top it off, the system spits out hundreds of signs we don't need and conveniently forgets the signs we do need. Even if we request the signs we do need and tell the system that we no longer need the ones we don't, the system doesn't comprehend anything. Every time we have an ad set, there are piles of signs that are thrown away that were duplicates or for items not carried in the store. There's so much waste it's not even funny.
The SNCs used to scan the signs are so terribly slow and unreliable. The ad set process would be so much smoother without these.
It's aggravating and just more work for our store that has a lack of people to deal with this. Our store is certainly not alone in this.
I wonder how much money Sears is wasting on such an inefficient signing and pricing system in terms of payroll and supplies. Yeah, it's not enough to bankrupt the company, but then again it is in their best interests to cut back on such blatant wastefulness when possible.
