new release wall retardation

Don't wanna make you feel bad MamaSmurf, but it only took me a day to do the wall at my big store and we had 40 something bays

It's not hard to make room in the middle, the problem is we have SO MUCH room that it makes it hard to align the wall alphabetically at times with all the titles that are already in BSI.

To be fair, I haven't bothered aligning the top three rows alphabetically with the bottom five rows for over half a year now, because of the lack of titles on the top three rows. At one point a few months ago when we had a LOT of A-D movies on the bottom five rows, I think I had like all the way to Hs and Is on the top row aligned with the last Ds on the bottom rows. But there was not much else I could do since even with the older-than-a-year titles still on the top three rows, there was no way I could spread out the A-D titles on the top three rows to match, and I wasn't about to go find two-year-old movies from BSI to add back in to the NR wall just to make everything line up perfectly alphabetically.

So, I am definitely NOT worried about trying excessively hard to alphabetically align this new way of doing things at the moment.

I had to do it in between customers in a high volume store. Like $8,ooo per DAY tnr. That's why it took so long. They wouldn't give us hours for it. Plus, I think that store was close to 60 bays

BBV should have done this three years ago.

Lol, that's what my point was. Have to spread out nearly every backer card I have to even get close. It's VERY hard to do now if not impossible from an alphabetical standpoint. Me, I can get over alpha being loose. The customers however seem to prefer their A's in the A's and not in the H's. I know I would if I was renting something and somebody told me it was in alphabetical order on the NRW. Somebody asks where Biutiful is and I'd like to say," In the B's" instead of, " Uh, I'm not sure, try looking near F". Welcome to BB, we spell like a coked up chimp, good luck finding your flick

[lucky me]

LOL @ "Coked up chimp". Which if it were a new movie would probably be found around the "H"s.

Why not just do straight alphabetical for the NR wall?
