CreditCard

Blockbuster finally fix this problem! No more dismemberment!!! All you do is put it on the P-Card (Blockbuster) and you have to log what you have brought. This makes it a lot easy than dealing with cash and change lol. "No cash disbursements should be used unless authorized by the RDO." The reason is....
On Monday prior to release date for select titles, stores will receive a Box Office communication weekly that will indicate how much of the title to purchase for both Bluray and DVD (SD). Stores will need to purchase the amount of product denoted. Local purchases may not happen every week.

I've heard that my local store isn't going to receive Horrible Bosses by it's scheduled release date.
This might be the first big purchase.

I guess someone quit and that person was the ordering person which screw us or something. I wonder what happen with the studios? Did we get cock block by someone?

If I have to go to walmart or target, I hope i can fill my car up with this P-card .

The issue is with the studio. The communication today said to purchase the BR/DVD combo so we would get more bang for our buck. We also received all of the artwork today for the upcoming purchases.

I think this is another waste of time & money. The fact that most rentals are going to be unpaid rentals, I think we could have either done without all together or at least get them in later at a cheaper price. Just my opinion.

There were NO hours extra loaded in to the schedule to cover this issue. So we have to allow for time to make the purchase, prep the product, etc. Look for cuts next weekend in your staffing if your SM didn't schedule properly.

Katiebell- my boss has a bad habit of reading the communications and then deleting EVERYONES copy- so in this communication to which you are refering does it tell us what titles that the SM has to run out Tuesday morning and buy and if this will be an ongoing issue or a 1 or 2 week/title thing? We got packages delivered this week with ASN numbers not in the computer so there they sit until they magically appear in the system.

Most likely Crazy, Stupid Love on 11/1 and Harry Potter on 11/11.
