Pride cometh before…

Yesterday, I called UPS to give them a piece of my mind. Once again a driver had arrived before our posted hours to deliver a package, and left a note saying “I’ll try tomorrow”. Corporate policy dictates that they attempt to deliver during my posted hours, so the driver should have tried again yesterday without me calling.

This morning was a different story. I was a bit late getting up and getting moving. I opened the store at 12:05. I actually saw the UPS driver pull away as I rolled into the parking lot.

Now I have to yell at myself as loud as I yelled at the UPS guy yesterday.

Well, the Township and my new landlord are still engaged in a regulatory dance. There is an increasing chance I will stay here for Christmas then move first thing next year. Our new address will someday be 357 Easton Rd, Glenside PA 19038.

After talking with successful retailers, I have decided to end the punch card system after the move. It doesn’t track easily and throws off the books. I will be trying to figure out how to implement a loyalty system that balances rewards while allowing the store to make a profit.

On the upside, Friday we had 28 players buy into the Magic Release event, our highest headcount ever. Saturday night continues to attract new board game players. If there is a specific game you have wanted to play, tell me a week in advance. I will include it in the newsletter.

Meanwhile, I decided to expand my offerings a little bit while doing a large restock. There is now a small puzzle section, and a selection of LEGO games. If they do well over Christmas, I will expand the selections, if not, I will let them sell off and call it a failed experiment.

Speaking of failed experiments, we have a section of heavily marked down items – including all of the Arcane Legions. Stop in and see if there is a bargain for you.

Have you noticed that we are on Facebook?

O’Doodles

On Monday, I took a trip over to O’Doodle’s which have “Unplugged Fun”. The store is very much oriented toward young kids. Now I have a place to send people for the younger set’s toys including rockets.
